The fair I must neither be defeated nor dwarf jed" 'l he prospects of the free coinage (bill have not materially changed t since last week, although the until I her of people who regard its passage J by the house as certain is constant- ly increasing. The democrats held a caucus last night, and, while no iron-clad agreement was entered in to, it is believed that a resolution will idiortly be reported from the committee on rules assigning a date for the consideration of tlio free coinage hill, and that the date will Ik- immediatelv after the disosal of the lirst tariff bill which is to be laken up next week. Hain-maker Dyrenforth has been a little slow in reorting how he PKnt the eight or ten thousand dol lars appropriated by the last con gress for experiments in trying to produce rain by artificial methods, and what he accomplished there with, so, this week, Senator .Sher man ollered a resolution, which was adopted, calling ii()on the secretary of agriculture for a copy of the re iKrt made by Dryenforth. It is believed that the resolution was prepared bv request of Secretary ltusk, who lias not received any re jwrt frum the alleged rain-maker. Secretary Kink has from the lirst taken pains to let it le known that he was in no manner retqwnsiblo for Dryenforth's exK'riuients, which, although nominally conducted under the auspices of the agricultur tl department, were in reality en tirely indcondent of that depart ment, being conducted under a social act of congress carrying the necessary appropriation. It is un derstood that Dyronforth's report will claim that the experiments were entirely successful, and will ask for a laruer appropriation to lontinue them. Jr Powder Equal.

Senator ticorge, of Mississippi, knows how to do a manlv act in a graceful way. He made a state ment on the floor of thu senate this week in which ho acknowledged that he found ujkmi examination that he hail umde an erroneous statement, in a spewh made last week, as to the dispilion of the '.)(),( XXI.IXXJ of legal tender notes issued under the act of 1MH). Ho also referred to the words "conditions arising from tlio local conditions surrounding H'liators in this city," which he said contained an implication un just to others and to liiintelf, that was not intended. To make his ex planation all the stronger he added: "During my service in the senate I have never'had occasion to believe that any seuiltor gave supKrt to any measure from other motives than a conscientious conviction of the public good." Senator Sherman's resolution, which was adopted bv the senate, calling tqwrn the president for the particulars ot the recent congress with the Canadian commissioners eoneerniiiL' reciprocity has started lots of gossips, and everybody wants to know why, if there was nothing in the conference, as was unollicial ly given out at the time, the senator ollered his resolution. Congress has not recovered from the ell'ects of its excursion to Chi cago, consequently it has been un usually dull for several days past. Mr.' Harrison and his family have gone to Virginia 1 tench for a week's rest, which it is impossible for them to get in Washington. Kepresentative Springer, who has been classed as a Cleveland man, has come out for Hill, whose presi dential boon, is rushing things just now in congressional circles. It is sometimes an advantage to the eople of a state to have a variety of state ollicials, as to poli tics. 'At the last statu election an alliance man was elected state print er in Kansas, and owing to the rigiil scrutiny of the secretary of state, who is a republican and not friendly to the printer, the amount of printing done and the pay allow ed therefor were restricted to the limit required and allowed by law. This suits the taxpayers very well, but the question arises, Why was not the same economy, or rather the same honesty, practiced when a re publican state printer was in ollico? It is said that the state printing ex penses have been cut down more than one-half, which is conclusive proof that thero was gross extrava gance before. It would bo a good thing for the jK-oplo of Oregon if a "calamity" state printer could bo elected, as it might bo attended with similar results. The state has saved a large sum in consequence of having representatives of both lKilitical parties in its chief admin istrative ollices. and it would bo well if thoro was a further division of tho offices among the parties. Telegram. - . , Tho state of New York is busily engaged in taking a new census, ordered by tho legislature under authority of tho constitution, for the pursue of apjkirtioumcut. This will furnish a test of tho accuracy of the national census, which it was claimed was '2(l5,lKX) short in the iiiotroiMilis alone. It is probable that the state census will show a larger jKipulation in Now York City. It may show an increase in all parts of the slate, since tho state census undertaken little besides enumeration and can therefore do that thoroughly. Tho last census failed as much because it was en cumbered by too many details as it ditl by ronton of incapable suinir vision. Is It Catchlnc?

All signs, says the San Francisco Post, Hnnt to a revival of the era of raiiroad construction in tho wet. which has been stisiKnded for thej past three or four years on account of short crops, of strikes, of strin- gencv 111 the monev market, ami other causes of minor importance. I he splendid grain crop of l.VJI, so groat that the railroads with all their facilities could not handle them, have created a new interest in railroad extension ud made the prospect much brighter. That means the Oregon Pacific among other roads. Tho New York democratic plat form declares "against tho coinage of anv silver dollar which is not of tho intrinsic value of every other dollar of the I'nited States." The only way to make a silver dollar of equal intrinsic value with the gold dollar is to coin silver as freely as gold and give it equal debt-paying power. Tho convention would have done bolter if it had gone a little farther and plainly stated this fact; but it was afraid of tho Wall-street money monopolists. A good ir lion of tho democratic party is still worshiping I tnal. Telegram.
