If, as the free-silver advocates assert,
Oregon is really in favor of free silver.
' then it is easily admitted that Senator
Dolph should not be re-elected. Bat is
Oregon in favor of free silver? If so,
what kind of free silyer? At what
ratio, and on what terms shall it be
coined? The Sun; which may be rated
as the leading silver paper of the etate,
wants one system ; Sidney Dell, who
has written a book on the subject, an
other. Then, of the two congressmen
and Senator Mitchell, whom the silver
advocates claim as theirs which of their
ideas will be adopted? Senator Mitch
ell is in favor of silver at a ratio of 16 to
1; Congressman Ellis wants' Ja dollar's
worth of silver in a dollar," and (if we
remember rightly) Congressman Her
mann wants more silver in the dollar
Now, if it is true that the free s:lver-
ites are in the majority, yet is each fac
tion in" la very small minority. The silver
question, with the whole congress and
president advocating free silver, would
be no nearer a settlement than it is now.
"The difference between the factions
would be more radical than that be
tween the republicans and democrats on
on the tariff question .
We cheerfully admit that our intellect
is not equal to perfecting a financial
system for the world, or even for that
. email portion of it over which floats the
American flag. There are 190 other
publications in the state, the editors of
most of which know just as much about
the subject as we do. We want to see
plenty of money in . circulation good
nioney regardless of its color, for we
need it in our business. We are there
fore, willing to' follow the first financial
. Moses ;. but we first want to feel that he
is Moses, and to at least believe that he
will not keep us forty years in the wil
derness. We are ready to go into the
corral as soon ' as we may be convinced
that we belong in it ; but until we are,
we prefer the wild freedom of the hills,
LARGER THAN THEY "SEEM
The Portland Sun is usually fair and
gentlemanly in its treatment of the press
of the state. Yet it allowed one of its
correspondents yesterday to use two
thirds of a column, on which it set its
seal of approval by providing it with a
. "scare" head, and which contained
absolutely nothing in the way of news
or argument. The principle portion of
the space' was used in attacking the
Hood Kiver Glacier for suggesting that
Senator Dolph should be re-elected, and
in indulging in sneers at the small coun
try papers of the state. The ' corres
pondent does not, and the editor of the
Sun may not realize the power of the
country press, the little newspapers of
which many, as the Scotch say "make a
muckle." Let the "Bungtown Bugle"
and "Siwash Snorter," as the erudite
correspondent calls them, and the other
little papers of the state combine, and
thev can yield more influence on the
destiny of the state than all the galaxy
of newspapers in Portland, the Sun in
cluded. That paper, indeed, not only
falls into the error which it" continually
chides the Oregonian for, but goes to the
extremes in that error. Is the Sun to
use its own . expression, trying to read
those who do not agree with it out of its
party? We might suggest that trite
aaying to our esteemed contemporary,
"Despise not small things the small
est toe has the largest corn."
In looking into the future of the
wheat growers of America, the situation
would seem dark indeed but for one
promise that must ultimately be ful
filled. That the foreign market can
. never again be made to yield old-time
prices, is resonably certain, since the
Argentine has become so formidable
a rival, and that other rival, Siberia,
will Boon become yet more formidable
than the Argentine. That promise is
increase-ol population. It will not be
many years until,' with our present rate
f growth, we can consume all the wheat
we grow. The time will come, in the
not very remote future, when land
values will again advance, and when the
prices of agricultural products will also
be enhanced. .
The report of James Creel man, the
special correspondent of the New York
World (than whom there is none more
reliable) establishes the fact beyond all
controversy, that the Japanese army on
capturing Port Arthur, was guilty of the
most savage . barbarism. The inhabi
tants of the place were brutally mur
dered and horribly mutilated. The
sympathies of the civilized world, which
have been with the 'Japs ever since the
war commenced, are being awakened
for the Chinese. Japan has made a
serious mistake, and one that if repeat
ed, may cause interference by the En- 1
ropean governments.
A man connected with the new paper
for the development of the immigrant
business was arrested this morning
charged with stealing wood from the K.
of P. It is pleasing to know that the
reputation of the newspaper fraternity
will not suffer, as the wood was sawed.
Captain McKay, of the Dundee whaler
Terra Nova, related to Captain Guy a
story which seems almost like an old
time romance, says the London Times.
It - would appear that about the middle
of September an unusually large whale
was fallen in with and killed by the
boats of the Terra Nova. The fish was
brought alongside, and the work of cut
ting up was commenced. Some obstruc
tion was discovered to have lodged in
the blubber, and on search being made
an old harpoon was extracted. The
weapon bore the name of the whaler
Jean or Bo'ness, and was dated forty
years back. Old Arctic navigators . will
remember that the Jean was lost in the
ice some thirty-seven years ago. The
steel was bright as the day the harpoon
was made, and the whale seemed to
have sustained no injury from it. As
may be imagined, the finding of such a
relic was the subject of much speculation
and talk among the members of the
various crews.
Specimen cases.
' S. H. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis.i was
troubled with neuralgia and rheumatism,
his stomach was disordered, his liver
was affected to an alarming degree, ap
petite fell away, and he was terribly re
duced in flesh and strength. Three bot
tles of Electric Bitters cured him.
Edward Shepherd, Earrisburg,. 111.,
had a running sore on his leg of eight
years' standing. Used three bottles of
Electric Bitters and seven boxes of
Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is
sound and well. John Speaker, Cata
waba, 0., had five large fever sores on
his leg, doctors said he was incurable.

A Secret.
If all the ladies knew the simple secret
that a bad complexion is due to a dis
ordered liver, there would be fewer sal
low faces and blotchy skins. This im
portant organ must be kept active and
healthy to insure a clear and rosy color.
