The JournI has recentjyl .." ahowed and the public knows bow the Oregonian for many years charged exorbitant and unconscionable prices for publishing the delinquent tax list and other public advertisements, and fought against a law to prevent that graft In this way it has extorted many tens of thousands of dollars be yond its just dues frbm the taxpayers, . and Us greed was greatest when they " were iavthe 'most straitened cir-1 '7 i ..-'! t ! cumsiautca. is juuruauaiic uiurai- - ity has been for a third of a century regarded as, a minus quantity.

And its edttor-in-cbiex is necessarily of the same nature and disposition. What, license nas be to criticise and ' abuse anybody for1 'inconsistency or ; insincerity in politics, oreven for dis honesty? Focjrears he declared-pub- jitij aim puaiuvcij, everj lime. any body mentioned the subject, that he was not' and never would be a can didate for senator; that under no cir cumstances would be have the office. iYet the history of hia sneaking, cam paign for the office in 1903 is familiar to ins peopie oi uregon. .everyone knows how Scott, when forced at last to swallow the bitter pill of, defeat, iuiui ins cuuuriu acciarauon luai e ' had never been a candidate and had never asked nor desired the vote of everyone knows of the Brownell-teie firam which established bevond cavil or dispute that in makintr these state ments the editor of the Oregonian had deliberately lied. ' 'l ' ; , ' t The people of Portland remember too the notorious Mock bottom deal when" the . owners of the Oregonian, ; in order to enrfch themselves at the expense of the taxpayers, endeavored ;to foVce the Port of Portland to pur chase from' them . that : bottomless quicksand,-as a site for-a-drydock. And there are other similar instances of which the public has hitherto been ignorant but which The Journal wul soon make known. . . When it comes to a matter of moral 'lone and effort, Mr. Hearst's papers, whatever their faults or mistakes, are as far above thia old hypocritical and grafting. journalistic slanderer as an honest, earnest gentleman is above a highwayman. . , . PENNSYLVANIA. ' NOW of no graft; I do not believe there ia any," says Governor r Pennypacker . of Pennsylvania. And this in the face of the disclosures regarding the fur nithlng. of 'the new capitol, not to mention many others running through many years. Pennsylvania Ui ektd with graft and official rot- tenness-ever since. construction of the Simon Cameron machine, over 40 years ago. His -pupil, Quay, bet tered, his' instruction, until it seemed as if, pjpa,cticalljrr the - whole, electorate were steeped and sodden in a mire of political corruption -1 - , : , , Pcnnypacker, though a judge with a fair reputation, considering hia fetid environment, was a relative of Quay's and the candidate of the late, bos for governor. If he is not conscious of graft in Pennsylvania hia faculties must have been so corrupted by the contaminating odors around him that they are in a state of paralysis, or in a comatose condition... ; --, .; To such lengths, and depths, of of ficial iniquity t had the Republican party gone that though the state gave Roosevelt . nearly 500,000 majority it elected a Democrat state treasurer last year, and now enough disgusted Republicans have - united .' with the Democrats to render the election next Tuesday doubtful, which shows that Pennsylvania is not quite so utterly and hopelessly 'enslaved' to corrupt political bosses as was supposed. ,--, Senator Knox, however, not long tin:e a member of the cabinet, has been making speeches in favor of the regular or gang ticket, which may help to save it from defeat, for while Knox is no longer a member of the cabinet "he is a' very -close friend of the president and it will be assumed speak fpr him.

For a long time aitver wa scarcely worth diggingr-Butff the price of silver measured in gold keeps rising, mining for silver as well as for gold will be greately stim ulated, to the vast benefit of the coun try- ; - . -: During .the decade 1890-1900 silver mining was ' practically - paralyzed. Miner searched for and found gold and copper; silver was little better than dirt But there is an Increasing demand for silver, both in the art and for subsidiary money, and the price has risen to 7014 cents an ounce. A this price silver mining will pay again, afid there is a fair prospect that -a large quantity can be put upon the market before the demand Will be sat isfied and the price go down again. The country needs a great amount of silver coins. 'China and other si! ver .countries also want more silver money. - International commerce, though balance are settled in gold, needs more silver, more actual money, foiheireetor-he-Trrt-has-re cently shown that '.the 'world's gold supply is about $150,000,000 less than was - supposed. Increased manufac tures and greater employment of la bor also . make a demand for more .ilver The - production of gold -haa greatly increased, yet the gold is not enough. More money J needed, and silver, though , "subsidiary," is good money.' A , ' , So there is' promise of' a great re vival of the silver mining industry, which will be a very good thing in deed for the western mining state and territories, including Oregon. COAL.-- MEMBER-o liament owning to the un usual if not the notable name 0. Chioira Money, has been of L. warning his countrymen that decad ence of industries 1 sure to ensue soon as a result of the exhaustion of the English coal supply. He points out that the output of coal in Amer ica now exceeds, that of England, and predicts that Germany will soon take second instead of third place. Plenty ofcheap coal is necessary to indus trial pre-eminence, and English in dustries Trret---uffcr-7when-J-coal be come scarce. He agrees with the prediction that the coal fields of Cen tral France, Central Bohemia, Saxony and northern England will be ex hausted in from 100 to '200 year, those 61. northern France and nearly all of England in 150 years, those of Belgium, , Saarbrucken, Aachen and Westphalia in 600 to 800 year, and ofVpper Silesi in 1,000 years. He appears not to know for certain about the coal fields of the western conti nent, which i strange. ' It would teem that a statesman might find better subject to discuss than the exhaustion of toal fields and the consequents decadence of in dustries some hundreds"bf ""years hence. Hard upon the heel of tltis Britisher'a foreboding forecast came new of the discovery of new coal bed comprising 100 square mile near Dover, and Who know but other bed's may yet be found even tft that little country and if there why not in Ger many, and other European countries? This country also ha a pessimistic predicier in Mr. J. J. Hill, who fore sees the exhaustion: of coal within a few decades, whereas it i far more probable that most of the coal beds of North America ' have never yet beta touched, and that enough will be A Little Out THINGS PRINTED TO READ WHILE YOU WAIT. : Valuable Counterfeit .- A photoarapher Krho re?ntljr paid Into a London Dana a aovaroign wuicn ap p'eared to b much worn was aatonlahej ahort tlnr alterwarda to rind mai lta value had .been credited to Mm at .11 ahllllntra. -.
