HONEST MONET.
The passage yesterday by the senate
. of the bill for the repeal of the silver
purchase clause of the Sherman act
will be hailed with joy by the people
of the country, irrespective of party
affiliation, and will be the means of
.establishing our financial policy upoa
v ' a sound basis. It should have been
- - done immediately after the house had
passed the Wilson bill; but the silver
ites made a determined fight in favor
of the few mine owners in the United
States, and succeeded in delaying leg
- islation for several weeks.
For years it has been known to the
financiers of the country that this con
flict between honest money and a de
preciated currency was certain; but
the final struggle had been postponed
to the latest possible time. In 1890
the battle was imminent, and if it had
resulted at that time it would have
been disastrous to the friends of a
sound currency. By the superior
generalship of Republican statesmen
it was deferred by the passage
' of the Sherman act, originated
by the man whose name it bears as
-- merely a truce until the friends .of a
single standard as a measure of values
. could meet their enemies on more ad
vantageous grounds.
During the last campaign Demo
tic orators all over the land proclaimed
from every rostrum in the country
that with the advent of that party in
power free-coinage of silver would be
firmly established; but while the Cbi-
- cago platform leaned strongly in that
direction, at the head of the ticket was
a man who had frequently expressed
himself in favor of the commercial
, standard of the world.
The expected change in the, eco
nomic policy of the nation, as a con
sequence of the Democratic victory lust
fall, together with the constant drain
on the treasury and the fear of the es
tablishment of a depreciated currency
called for immediate action. The
final struggle could not be postponed
any longer. With the assurance that
the protective policy would continue,
the truce might have lasted for years
longer without any material injury to
the business interests of the couotrv;
but Democratic free-trade forced it to
an immediate decision.
The firm convictions of President
Cleveland, which have impelled him to
- unhesitatingly throw down the guaui
let to many of the leaders of his
- party, and the staunch support of R
publicans, who have been the unconi-
, promising friends of honest money
" during the most trying epochs. in the
history of the republic, have resulted
in the complete discomfiture of the
enemies of a sound monetary system.
This will mark an era in the finances
of the nation, which will have its effect
if the question is brought to the pc-
litical surface hereafter. We can now
say to the commercial nations of the
world the United States will pay 100
cents on every dollar in , circulation,
and all securities held will be redeemed
in coin, measured by the universal
standard. The laborer can also be as-
sured that the purchasing power of
his money will be equal to that paid
in any other country. Capital need
not now be afraid of depreciation, if
yjvested, and banks and money cen
ters can with perfect confidence make
loans on approved securities.
If President Cleveland will exert
the same firmness ia favor of the
American policy of protection as he
has in favor of an honest dollar, the
business of the country will again re-
- vert to its former prosperous channel,
and the wide-spread distress and
financial depression will disappear.
With fairness it may be claimed that
Mr. Cleveland has proved himself in
harmony with . the traditions of the
Republican party in favor of a sound
national currency, Vnd it is to be
hoped he may display the same friend
liness toward the economic policy of
that organization.
IRRIGATION.
Perhaps there is nothing of greater
importance in the development of the
aofthwast than a proper system of ir
rigation of our arid lands, and this
- may be accomplished with a little en
terprise on the part of our citizens,
Speaking on this subject the Walla
Walla Statesman says: "The arid
plains, which to-day are practically
valueless, are capable of being made
- the most fertile sections of the United
States. Land that nobody would care
to take as a gift, if they must needs
live upon it in its present condition,
can be made to yield crops which, in
point of abundance, the colder eastern
states may not hope to equal. Pro
ducing from sixty to one hundred
bushels of wheat to the acre, and from
six to eight crops of alfalfa in the year,
are agricultural feats unknown to our
eastern folks, but are of common oc
currence on the irrigated regions of the
Pacific coast. In the east they have
more than sufficient rain, but during a
considerable portion of the year not
enough sun. On the Pacific coast
these conditions are in many places re
versed. Fortunately, we can store up
a supply of water, whilst the east can
not impound the sun's rays.
Hence it I
comes tbat we can render tne most during the world's fair, makes the
worthless land the most valuable, tragedy very deplorable. Mr. Harri
- There is good money, and a great deal sou was perhaps the most popular offi-
of it, in irrigation. It is a subject that I
merits the best consideration of our peo I
ple, and the citizens of Eastern Wash-
. ington should be among the most inter-
sted." What can be applied to Eastern
. Washington is applicable with equal I
force to Eastern Oregon, and the sub- I
ject of irrigation cannot receive too are no doubt too many crazy people out
auuch attention from those interested side of asylums and not enough on the
in the productions of the soil. It is inside. We should enforce our laws
reasonable to expect in a few "years I
the Columbia river will be an open I
channel of commerce for the producer, J
and every acre of soil should be culti
vated and made productive by all
possible meaus. There are large areas
of land in Umatilla, Morrow, and
other counties which would be very
prolific with moisture. . This should
be procured by means of ditches and
reservoirs, and for every dollar thus
expended the country will be reim
bursed tenfold. This immediate por
tion of the northwest is yet in its in
fancy, and the future of the country is
bright and very promising. Cereals,
vegetable and fruits now grow to per
fection, and the time is not far distant
when there will be ten orchard trees
where there is one now. Every dol
lar spent in irrigation is fed to the
soil, and will be generously repaid by
its increased productiveness.
Any one who is not thoroughly ac
quainted with the vagaries of the 0re
gonian would be astonished to read
the following in that paper of yester
day, written by the editor during a
lucid interval: "Sane or insane, the
murderer of Carter Harrison must be
hanged for the good of society. It is
not safe to indulge in metaphysical re
fineuients over the question of moral
responsibility when a murderer is to
be dealt with. It is wrong to punish
a person morally irresponsible." There
is no court in any country in the
world to day that will sentenca a man
to death for killing another if he is
proved insane, or if he is morally ir
responsible, and the . words quoted
above would have put a member of the
Spanish inquisition or bloody Lord
Jeffreys to the blush If the writer
understood the first principles of crim
inal jurisprudence he must know that
the crime must be proved in all its
details before guilt is made clear, and
this can never be done where the per
son is net competent to realize the
natural or reasonable consfquences of
his acts. It is not "metaphysical re
finements" to send an insane roan to
the asylum when insanity is clearly
proved instead of hanging him for
murder, as if ho were morally respon
sible. Tbi3 is simply humanity and
justicp, and the contrary would be bar
bari8Q) and a disgrace to the civiliza
tion! of the age. Still thu editor, who
would hani? insane as well as sane
men, holds up his hands in holy hor
ror when the black rape fiend is dealt
with summarily in the south by the
father, husband or brother of the out
raged victim. In both these instances
we believe in the violators having
full and fair trsal, but the libertine
has less rights in the community and
to live than the poor, unfortunate vie
tim of heredity or disease.
While the methods pursued by the
Salvation Army may not receive the
I endorsement of all classes in the corn-
I munjty, yet it cannot be denied that
I they have accomplished a great deal in
the betterment of certain people who
I could not be reached by other influ-
ences. For this reason they should
I not only be tolerated, but encouraged
I by all humanitarians in their efforts to
I elevate the lowest strata of society. In
I this connection it may be well to recol
leet that the society of Friends, the
members of which are among the most
respectable citizens ia every commu
I nity, was originated by George Fox,
I whose eccentricities were so marked
that Macauley in his history of Eng
land says "the Quakers were popularly
regarded as the most despicable fanat
lcs." They were treated with great
severity by the Puritans in the old
country and were persecuted to the
death in New England. The Salva
tion Army, in the next century, may
have among their members some of
the best citizens, and by their probity
and bonesty may win as enviable posi
tion in society as the Quakers occupy
now. .
The editor of the Pomeroy Inde
pendent is a Democrat of Democrats,
and "to the manaer born"; that is, he
first saw the light of day south of
Mason and Dixon's line. He is a
Methodist preacher, and never forgets
his Sunday-school training in editorials.
Here is the latest from his pen, jubi
lating over Cleveland's administration:
"The children of Israel were in the
wilderness forty years under tbe strict
est discipline before they were pre
pared to enter into their possession in
the promise land. The American peo
ple have been in the desert of class
legislation for thirty years, and they
may look for entire deliverance withi
the next ten years. Tbe brilliant
Democratic administration of Orover
Cleveland will inaugurate the mil-
lenium and our ships will be Been on
every sea and within every port within
ten years and American manufactures
will glut tbe markets of the world
at
living prices, and the mineral and ag
ricultural wealth of our great country
will be developed, giving employniei.
to happy millions."
The assassination of Hon. Garter
Harrison, mayor of Chicago, Saturday
evening, by a lunatic named Prender
grast, startled the nation as well it
might. For a man of -such an ex
tended reputation as the mayor of
Chicago, to be shot down in day-light,
by an assassin who enters bis residence
unchallenged, is an event that can but
excite the widest criticism. The prom
inence of the victim, aside from the
commanding position he has occupied
nial in Illinois, and was an expert pol-
itician. If he bed lived unquestion-
ably his voice would have been heard
in tbe councils of the nation, and to
lose such a man in the prime of his
maturity by the act of a lunatic is a
great loss to any community. There

FARMERS APPEAL FOR PROTEC
TION.
The legislative committee of the na
tional grange has made a formal ap
peal to congress for continuance of
those clauses of the McKinley bill
that afford protection to the products
of American farms. "We ask," says
the legislative committee of the na
tional grange, "that congress leave un
disturbed the duties on agricultural
products that are imported into this
country to be sold in competition with
tbe products of farmers of the Unittd
States." The legislative committee of
the grange recognizes this peculiar vir
tue in the McKinley bill, says a Chi
cago exchange: that it does justice to
the agricultural as well as the manu-
faturing interest. "It is generally
conceeded." says the memorial of tbe
national grange committee, "that in
former revisions of the tariff agricul-
ture has not received the same meas-
ure of protection afforded to other in-
dustries; but in tbe late revision (the
McKinley revision) the farmers ap -
Ml hfn. .. nnm mitten nn wftvs
. . . . . . -
and means and secured such duties as
haveproved.tobeof great benefit to
them: and they desire that these duties
be maintained.''
Take notice that during considera
tion of the McKinley bill the farmers
were asked to consult with the com
mittee in charge of its preparation,
and that their suggestions were heard
and acted upon to the "great benefit,"
as the national grange says, of agricul-
tural industries. No hearing has
been afforded to the farmers by the
Democratic committee that is drafting
a tarin wu "ior revenue oniy," ana so
jn . ... ... , M .
the great representative organization
of agriculture is forced to send a writ-
ten petition to congress in support of
the iust claims of the farmers of the
United States.
Combating the Democratic delusion
of division of products into raw and
finished material, the' legislative com
mittee of the national grange says:
"Wool is a finished production of the
farmer just as much as cloth is the
finished production of the manufac
turer."- The point' is well made.
Nothing has value that has not had
labor expended upon it, and all that is
an American product of labor that is
highly paid deserves to be protected
from unlimited com pent ion with a
foreign product of labor that is poorly
paid. Iron ore is a finished product
of the mine. While under the surface
of the earth it was without value. Its
value at the surface represents the '
capital, the skill, and the rough labor
expended upon it; the capital, skill,
and rough labor expended on the cre
ation of value in a ton of iron ore are
as much entitled to protection as those
expended on the increase of value oc
casioned by the conversion of ore into
pig metal, or of pig metal into bars,
anvils, hammers, or any other ulti
mate form of manufacture.
The petition of the national grange
is founded in justice and is supported
by sound logic.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
West Virginia Democrats are kick
ing at "free coal." There is room for
kickers, and there will be a lot of
them when the ways and means com
mittee emerges from its basement.
Our esteemed cotemporary, the Port
land Evening Telegram, had a leading
editorial yesterday on "A Gold
Dreamer." The article is very vision
ary, and may be properly classed as a
phantasmagoria of silver.
The trouble in Brazil still continues.
If that country could be placed under
control of an emperor, like the late
Dom Pedro, it would be a great bene
fit to residents. . Free institutions
among the Latin races have not been
very successful.
Henry Clews, the writer on finance,
is termed by a Democratic silver or
gan, "the great romancer in finance."
This is not complimentary to a man
who has made monetary matters a life
study; but Mr. Clews' reputation will
not be injured in the least by being
called such names.
In the supreme court a dioision bas
been reached in the matter of the lo
cation of the Soldiers' Home, and tbe
injunction has been set aside and the
trustees can proceed in locating the
institution. Ibis will answer fully the
objections against establishing a branch
insane asylum in .Eastern Oregon, and
it may be expected that the board ap
pointed by the legislative act will de
lay no longer in making the selection.
The vote on the repeal bill indicates
that it received the support of twenty-1
three Reoublican senators, and nl
nine voted against the measure. As a
compromise the Sherman act fulfilled
its mission and saved the country
from being flooded with a depreciated
eurrency. Under the shadow of free-
trade its repeal became necessary,- and
.Republicans realized tbe importance
of this to a greater extent than the
Democrats.
lhe uemocratic stiver organs are
now calling loudly for the repeal of
the McKinley tariff law: but their
cries we do not believe will be heeded
by the administration or the memo, rs
of their party in congress. It is now
apparent, even to the Democracy, that
any attempt to change the present
laws regarding duties will work
great hardship. .on the people, and after
passing through one financial panic it
is not wise to inaugurate another.
The two big dailies of Portland have
gone to the extremes on the monetary
question. One reaches to the clouds
and the other descends to deepest
gloom as tbe result of repeal The
best way is to take a moderate and
sensible view of the matter, and look
neither for sudden disaster nor imme
diate prosperity. The cau&es of the
present depression are too deep seated
to be instantly removed by a single
act of legislation over which the coun
try is divided in its sentiment.
The senate is at last "getting down
to business," and a vote on the repeal
bill may be expected at an earlj date.
Two months have been frittered away
in useless gabble by this august body,
and it will be a great releif to the
people when it is apparent that it ap- f
FCUr-iQ . -jjm. i I jal
predates that the public expect work i:.
and not obstruction tactics. In the-1 ia
ory sovereignity rests with the people '
in this country; in fact, the masses
have little to do in the government
except to vote on election days, and
usually they are herded to the polls
like dumb-driven cattle.
So far as known at present Pren
degast, the assassin of Mayor Harri
son, is hopelessly insane, and is not a
fanatical crank, whose feelings were
excited beyond control by the agitation
on the silver question. He should
have been in the asylum long ago, and
cannot he classed in the list with
Wilkes Booth or Quitteau.
The Evening Telegram thus answers
a correspondent: "A jubilant goldo
later drops a note to the Telegram to
ask "How do you silverties feel since
you have been licked?" W ell, we feel
a good deal like poor Lazarus when he
lay at tbe rich man's gate and was
licked by dogs. But we are cheered
by the thought that there came a time
when Lazarus got the best of tt." But
our esteemed cotemporary realizes the
fact that Lazarus died before he "got
the best of it," and so must the silver-
ties.
Before decreeing that the repeal of
the silver-purchase clause of the Sher-
1 man act has done no good in commer-
eia! transactions suvenies snouia wan

effects to be felt. These will begin at
,. centers, and from there
praduallv verge into the channels of
trade, and perhaps weeks may elapse
before the influence reaches the differ
ent departments of business. A wiser
criticism of the legislation could be
had next spring, and it is unfair to
pass judgment now.

I differently worded from the one that
I emanated from Salem, the capital of
Oregon. Pennover is Pennoyer, and
there is none liko him on this conti
nent.
If one were to read the leading ed
itorial in the Telegram yesterday,
without understanding tbe peculiar
notions entertained by ' the editor "on
the silver question, he would be led to
believe that plague, pe tilence, mur
der and assassination, fire and famine
were devastating the people of
the United States, and all these
were caused . by the . passage of
the repeal bill by the senate. Cap
tain Moffet should not indulge in
such harrowing feel in ch, for tbe ef
fects are only disastrous upon himself,
and will not have the least influence
upon President Cleveland and the
friends of honest money, in the coun
try.
The Cleveland administration will
be forced to solve the problem of the
Hawaiian question. If the advice of
the great Washington in his farewell
address is heedfd, the United States
will not annex any more territory than
she is able to properly govern. Free
institutions are not strengthened A"q
extending tbe boundaries of the coun
try; but, when the rights of all citi
zens are guaranteed, and society is
protected against criminals, then gov
ernment attains the ends that all pat
riots desire. In our mongrel popula
tion we have all races and nationali
ties, and we should not add to these
the Kanakas of the Sandwich islands.
it is expected that a vote was
reached on the repeal bill in the senate
this afternoon, and there is every . in
dication that it was passed. Re
publicans have been strong advocates
of this measure, for tbe party is
a friend to honest money, and
the Sherman act. was a compromise to
save the country from a delu ge of sil
ver.
The establishment of a sound
systexn in monetary matters may give
a certain stability to business; but be
fore it will be in tbe same prosperous
condition it was a few months ago the
conditions must be the same, and these
will not exist until . the Democratic
party demonstrate it to be a fact that
American industries will receive the
same protection under Mr. Cleveland
that they did under Mr. Harrison.

Tate Irish tmmatloa.
London, Oct. 81 T. P. O'Connor.
president of the Irish National League
of Oreat Britain, was asked to give bis
views on the Irish situatioa in general,
and particularly the attitude of John
Redmond and tbe other extreme Par
nellites. -O'Connor made a lengthy re
ply, in wbicb be taid be regrets Red
mond's recent speeches, and for reasoos
not dictated by any hostility to any sec
tion following him. The attempt ot tbe
farnellites to retain for tbe Irish full
strength in tbe imperial parliament after
home rule was near landing tbe party in
disaster. As it is, tbe retention of even
80 members forms one of tbe most effec
tive weapons against nome role in the
next campaign. O'Connor regards tbe
urging of tbe demand of amnesty for
political prisoners not only perilous fcr
the cause ot borne rule, but even more
destructive to what little chance tbe nn-
fortunate men have of ever eettme relief. I
Tlle adoption "f the Parnellite policy
would spread tbe impression that home
rule involves sympathy with dynamite
methods.' This, of course, would mean
detest.
Tbe fundamental point about home
rule is tbat every practical Irish poli
tician must consider the methods and
measures with wbicb to get a maioritv of
tbe British votes for liberals at the next
election. Looked at from ibis view, tbe
Kedmond policy is insanity. Every vote
given for the liberal party will be for
borne rule, and every vote asked lrom
the liberals will be taken from home
rule. Redmond asks tbe liberal covern.
nfeot to do everything the liberals and
tories alike believe would lead to its de
feat. He asks tbat the Iilab question be
dealt with; in other words, asks tbe lib.
eral ministry to go to the country without
those British measures wbicb form their
one chance of gaining a majority. O'Con.
nor thinks Redmond's policy is leading
to tbe destruction of the borne rule cause
iu this generation.

Chicago, Nov. 1 With solemn pomp
and imposing ceremonies befitting tbe
interment of tbe chief magistrate of the
world's fair city and bis dramatic fate,
Carter H. Harris an' body was escorted
to Graceland cemetery today by an im-
lenie throng of sorrowing citizens . All
night long two lines of people passed
steadily by tbe bier on wbicbthe remains
lay in state in tbe city ball corridor. Tbe
crowd about the city ball grado-illy de
creased toward morning, as tbobe who
had stood in line lor hours to get a last
glimpss of tbe familiar features passed
into tbe flower, decked corridor, but the
earljcomers soon lengthened the lines
again, and when finally tbe time arrived
for beginning tbe ceremonies of tbe day,
and the doors were closed, it left a vast
throng on the outside who were debarred
ot tbe priviledgc of seeing the peaceful
features of tbe departed chief executive.
How many thousands looked into tbe
casket during tbe 24 hours the body lay
in state it is impossible to estimate. Al
ter tbe doors closed, tenderly the remains
were borne trom tbe black-draped cor
ridor and placed in the funeral car.
Though a great crowd, gathered to see
tbe murdered mayor's last leave taking
oi tbe scene of his labors in behalf of the
city be loved, the black car slowly passed
and tcok its place in tbe waiting proces
sion. As it drew into l:ne the march was
taken uo and tbe thousands who bad
gathered to honor tbe dead moved slowly
through tbe crowded streets with ban
ners draped, and to tbe sad music of tbe
funeral march by bands distiibuted at
intervals through the long line. Out
from tbe center ot the city a great pro
cession marched across the river to the
beautiful church of the Epiphany, near
tbe late executive's borne. All along tbe
line of march people with sad faces and
bared beads watched tbe somber column,
and about tbe church a throng as great
as that wbicb stood about tbe city ball
was gathered. The remains arrived at
the church, were carried in and deposited
in trontof the chancel, where in an im
pressive manner tbe solemn service for
the dead was performed. At the close
tbe procession again took up tbe line of
march to Graceland cemetery.
