TUESDAY, - " SEPTEMBER 25. 1894
THE LEADING QUESTION.
The silver question is being forced to
the front, and some other questions are
at the same time being forced to the
rear. One of the latter is that of preai
dent Cleveland seeking a re-nomination
That matter is settled now by circum
stances, that is provided it eyer existed
"We have never believed the president
would seek a third term, bat there are
those, whose opinions are entitled to
consideration, who think that is the
height of bis ambition. If so, bis hopes
must have received a hard blow as state
after state adopted a free silver plat'
form. There is but one state west of the
Mississippi in which the platforms of
the democratic, republican and populist
parties are not built around a free silver
center. That state is Oregon, and it is
8a fe to pay that had our election been in
November instead of June, we would
not have been the exception. As it is,
our representatives in congress are at
least evenly divided, Mitchell in the
senate and Ellis in the house being with
the silver men, and Hermann will prob
ably also vote that way.
. The struggle in 1896 is going to be
made on the silver issue, and it will be
the South and West against the East.
It is going to cause a re-arrangement of
parties, because both republicans and
democrats are divided on this subject.
For a time at least it will shut off fur
ther tariff tinkering, and if it accom
plishes nothing else, it will have accom
plished much. The people west of the
Mississippi want free silver, and they
want it at once.
At the republican convention held
recently in Spokane the congressional
nominees, Doolittle and Hyde, refused to
make the run on the platform as it
stood on the silver question, asserting
vehemently that no party could win
whose platform was not radical in its
expressions on the subject, and the con
vention evidently agreed with them, for
that plank was changed. Those who
doubt the feeling of the people on the
subject will have their doubts removed
when the returns from the November
elections are heard.
MORE SCHOOL BOOKS.
The school book question is causing
considerable argument just now, most
of it being against any change. It is a
matter that will cause trouble and an
noyance until the state takes-charge of
it, and then it may possibly cause more
trouble. There is an immense profit in
school books, and if any one system can
manage to capture those who select the
books it bas a good thing. It looks as
though the school superintendents ought
to be able to select a series of text
books that would not need to be discard'
ed every two or three years. Of making
many books there is surely no end, and
this applies with extra force to school
books. Our echool superintendents
from this vast lot ought to be able to
select a good lot, so that no change
would be required for yeare. We do not
wish to impugn their motives, but we
feel positive that if there was not money
in it for someone the text books would
not be changed so otten, if at all.
The great trouble with all branches of
the government from the inspectors of
armor plate to the inspectors of school
books, is that there must be a rake-off
for everybody, and those who fill the
contracts for the government always al
low, as part of the cost and expenses of
so doing, a certain amount of grease
needed to make the machines run
smoothly. If our present system of
school books is not satisfactory, that
fact ought to have been discovered be
fore it was adopted. It would be inter
esting reading to have an examination
into the methods by which the books
are selected for the state, and then pub-
liah it.
Portland is having a regular parrot
and monkey time over the attempt made
by the city council to raise money by a
system of licenses. The scheme would
work all right, but every business man
thinks he is getting the worst of it, and
that the other, fellow ought to do the
paying. That seems to be the great
trouble with local as well as national
taxation. It is hard to suit the man
that has the bill to pay.
That cannery . has not materialized
yet. It is now too late to do anything
in the way of business this year, but
fish will run and fruit will ripen in 1895,
although many of our people do not
seem to realize the fact. The cannery
should be ready to begin operations as
soon as the fish and berries get ripe
next spring.
Brazil has given notice to this govern
ment that she will abrogate the recip
rocity treaty as Boon as the three months
notice required by it expires. The treaty
will be of no effect oh and after Jan. 1st,
1895. Spain bas already taken the same
course, abrogating the treaty which gave
our products free-entry into Cuba.
The magazines are not only rivaling
one another in their effort to take the
wire edges off the history of Napoleon,
but they , are also engaged in proving
that Edgar Allen Poe was a half brother
of Neal Dow and never took a drink in
his brief life. It is to be hoped that
these scribblers will let up before they
destroy all preconceived ideas of the
great and illustrious people who have
gone before.
The fame of Napoleon has suddenly
been renewed. Magazines, newspapers
and periodical are all filled with him,
and it is really astonishing to learn how
nice, mild and clever he really was. It
seems that all previous accounts of the
great soldier were false, and that he was
really nearly perfect ; or at least, as By
ron said, "As mild a mannered man as
ever scuttled a ship or cut a throat;
with the true breeding of a gentleman."
The names of the republican candi
dates for congress, Dolittle and Hyde,
would indicate to those who do not
know them that they were members of
the democratic party and the last con
gress. "
The dispatches today are filled with
accounts of murder. From Maine to
Louisiana and from Maryland to Oregon
a regular epidemic of murder seems to
have swept the country. .

A Little Daughter
Of a Church of England minister
cured of a distressing:' rash, by
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Mr. Richard
Birks, the well-known Druggist, 207
McGill st., Montreal, P. Q., says:
I have sold Ayer's Family Medicines
for 40 years, and have heard nothing but
good said of them. I know of many
Wonderful Cures
performed by Ayer's Sarsaparilla, one
in particular being that of a little
daughter of a Church of England minis
ter. The child was literally covered
fiora lieatl to foot with a red and ex
ceedingly troublesome rash, from which
she hud suffered for two or three years,
in spite of the best medical treatment
available. Her father was in great,
distress about the case, and, at my
recommendation, at last began to ad
minister Ayer's Sarsaparilla, two bot
tles of which effected a complete cure,
much to her relief and her father's
delight. I am sure, were he here to-day,
he would testify in the strongest terms
as to the merits of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
