INTRINSIC VALVE.
Men talk .about the intrinsic value of
gold. The word "intrinsic" haa a eol
den sound a bo tit it. The intrinsic value
of anything is what it will do for you in
your hour of peril. .'tVhat is the intrin
sic value of a piece of plank twenty-four
feet loDg, one foot wide and two inches
thick? Its intrinsic value is a million
dollars to the man who is drowning, but
at any other time it would not be worth
m great deal. Mr. Silbey, in bis great
silver speech gives his ideas of intrinsic
alue in this way :
"Men talk about the intrinsic value
of gold. A banker told me the other
day that be could not assent to my prop
osition, because be believed the time
tad come when we should join .hands
with the other great nations and come
down to the use of a metal which had
intrinsic yalue about it. I said to this
gentleman : 'I do not know that I can
raise the funds at present; I have seri
ous doubts if .1 can raise a percentage
of the amount ; but I suppose I can get
$10,000 of gold bullion. You pay three
per cent on the deposits, do you not?'
Yes, sir.' 'Well, now, I will get $10,
000 worth of gold bullion and bring it to
you as a deposit. You ' would rather
have that than paper, because paper has
no intriinsic value, while gold bullion
faas. I will deposit this bullion for six
months, and draw 3 per cent interest on
this time deposit.' 'Oh!' he said,'I
cannot give you 3 per cent on that.'
Why not,' said I. 'Well then,' said I,
'I will take the bullion down to the
mint at Philadelphia, and I will get the
people there to put upon it the stamp
and superscription of the United Ststes,
Will you take it then?' He said : "Oh,
yes; I would be glad to.' 'Well, then,'
said I, 'what has the intrinsic value got
to do with this matter? What is it that
gives this metal power as money bo that
you are willing to pay me 3 per cent in
terest upon it. Is it tbe intrinsic value
of the metal? No; it is the image and
superscription of Caesar that makes it
money.' " Baker City Democrat.
SOME Q VEER LA WS.
"Bunco" Kelley's trial at Portland is
dragging slowly along. Yesterday Pros
ecuting Attorney Hume and Judge
Cap'eB, who is conducting the defense,
had a lively little row. After considera
ble back talk Judge Caples said he was
sorry ; exceedingly sorry that he spoke.
Mr. Hume erected bimBelf and said be
too was sorry ; sorry beyond expression.
The judge, with tears in his judicial
eyes, murmured his regrets, and Kelley
even looked lugubrious and wiped away
tear. And then "Bunco" Kelley's
written confession was offered in evi
dence, but the defense proved by the
prosecuting attorney that the confession
was a lie, and it was not permitted to be
read in evidence. From all of which it
will be seen that "they have some queer
lows down in Multnomah."
Mr. George McCoy, a real estate dealer
of Portland, and an old-time job printer,
thinks the newspapers should devote
more attention to real estate, and not
so much to China. - It is probably true
.that the papars do not devote so much
time'to the development of the country
as they should ; but if they were to de
. vote as much space to real estate and
Portland real estate agents as the sub
ject would permit, real property in that
village would cease to move. What the
real estate men of Portland want is lots
of noise about real estate, and uninter
ru pted silence concerning real estate
agents. . --
Our esteemed contemporary, the East
Oregonian, does not favor the issuing of
bonds covering the eoil, but thinks that
bonds covering the improvements are
right and proper. We do not catch on,
perhaps, to the idea, unless it is that
the Issue of bonds secured by faith are
all right, while those secured by real
estate ace all wrong. We see no differ
ence. A debt is a debt, and should be
paid, whether it is eec-nred by pledge of
. real estate or not. We agree with our
contemporaries ideas concerning debt,
but if it is created, what matters to'the
debtor what security he has put up.
A "Bunch of Western Clover," culled
from tbe verdant Blopes of Mt. Parnas
sus by Mrs. Ella Higginson, found its
way to our table recently, It is a neat
booklet of poems from that very grace
ful writer. There are some pretty con
ceits, prettily told, in the little volume;
but Mrs. Higginson made a mistake in
putting her ideas into sonnets. It is a
peculiarly hard kind of versification,
and while fourteen lines are "enough to
dress a thought or two, they are not
enough to permit a tasteful draping of
the garments.
Oar Portland contemporaries have
given The Dalles a gentle dig or two
lately. It was perhaps needed, but as
we peruse the daily papers of that city
today the broad smile that accompanies
a base though not ' wicked revenge,
spreads over the countenance of every
reader. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is going
to show there.
Portland is liable to baveanew steam
ship line to China and Japan.' . Four
companies are said to be figuring on tbe
situation and one of them will surely
stick. Oregon can and will supply the
Orient with flour and lumber, and the
steamship line would find profitable
business irom the start.
What this country needs is an elastic
currency, so that when a poor devil is
hard up he can take hold of a dollar bill
and stretch it into a "twenty." The
elastic principle in suspenders is what
eaves the pants-buttons. Why then
should not the same principle in money
save a man's credit? . I

AN OUTLAW FORTRESS.
The Cliflr from WblrU the Sizemore liand
Shot town Travelers.
On the left bank of the Holston rivei
in Hawkins connty, Tcnn., is a cliff
whicli has some local fame. It is ci
solid r.tono. perpendicular from the
bate vtj. i! 1 i i socio thinjT over a hun
dred feet lii'jh". From the toy of it the
country i:; vitablo fcr miles and liiiles,
affording a grand view of the hill,
mountain cnrl stream. A few feet back
from the eclsje are still plainly to be
seen the earthworks forming1 the ren
'deTDTis of the celebrated Sizemore and
his pang: of desperadoes, From the top
of the hill they commanded a full view
of a much used public road, together
with two fords above and below, and a
great number of hapless soldiers as
well as private citizens who had luck
lessly inenrred their ang-er fell victims
to their unerring1 rifle bullets as they
attempted to pass all unconscious of
danger. Very -near this cliff is a little
cave at lear:t a mile deep, on the sides
of which are written the names of dnce
prominent people who have long1 since
passed away, the dates running1 back
perhaps a hundred years. In one of the
caverns is a perfect little table formed
of a flat r'?cfc. During1 the war this
cave wis tuecl by wirne soldiers as a
place for rrr.ilring1 saltpeter, the hoppers
being Will ii a state of preservation,
tbe earth. looking as if it had been dug
but recently.
Trying; tbe Mind Cure.
A New York merchant is reported by
the Tribune to have found his office boy
weathering one of the terribly hot days
of last summer in a' manner highly
philosophical, and therefore worthy
in its spirit, at least of general imita
tion. It was a dull day, with nothing
going on. The boy had taken off his
coat and vest, and would have taken
off his collar, but that his employer ob
jected. By and by the merchant saw
him writing putting down a word or
two and looking out of the window al
ternately. The merchant's curiosity
was excited, and he stepped up behind
the boy and looked over his shoulder.
In front of him lay a foolscap sheet
half-filled with words like these: "Ice
cream, icebergs, ice-cold soda, north
pole, Greenland, Iceland," and so on.
The merchant took the hint, and be
gan to fel more comfortable immedi
ately. -
German Tramp Cards.
A modification of the German system
of cards for men tramping in search of
work has been introduced in England.
It provides for the issue of cards on
which the bearer's last employer in
dorses a certificate of character, and on
which the suitable authority prints a
list of the' proper places at which to
apply for shelter and food in every city
of the United Kingdom. The tramp
who has one of these cards is entitled
to food and shelter on its presentation
at any of the designated places. One
who does not have it is made to labor
in the workhouse wherever he is caught.
