Portland, Or., May 16, 1896.
Editor Times-Mountaineer :
Sir: I received a copy of your paper
with the criticism of some remark as
having been made by me at a meeting
here last Friday evening. Jt says that
I said 'I did not believe in -the union
of church and state, but did believe In
the church directing men in the matter
of voting1, etc."
Now, if I had said any such thing I
should say your criticism waB perfectly
just and fair; and the Oregonian did so
state as to the speech, and when I read
it next morning I said to my family
"that is too bad, and will be cause for
criticism." I said "I did not believe
In union of church and state, but did
believe in Christian principles being
applied to political questions." I no
more believe in a Baptist church in
the sense of a great organization, than
I do in a Catholic one. Do not believe
in any. involving combination of men.
but in the simnlist form of men who
desire to do so, bt-ine-permitted to meet
as they wish to worship God according
to the dictates of their own conscience,
so long as they do not interfere with
that of another. In fact, I do not be-
lieveinthe "church" as spplying to
any great combination of small bodies
of worshipers, I do not care by what
name you call it: it is that very combi
nation that makes the danger, and I
would not trust one more tha n another,
as human nature is the same all
around.
A preacher has an equal right with
other men to offer advice as to great
political questions, and to take sides
if he believes it to be his duty, and is
willing to take the personal conse
quences that are sure to follow. But
it is that combination, called a church
or denomination, behind such an in
dividual, that gives him any degree of
authority in ever so little, to command,
or enforce such advice. This I bate,
and would hate it if it were Baptisu as
much as if it were Catholic, or Metho
dist. It is not my custom to answer crit
icisms, as it is as fair for some one to
criticise me as for me to do it to others;
and be it known that it is my creed to
be fair to all men. But when I am un
fortunately placed by some report to
seem to endorse a position I hate, then
it would be foolish not to reply and
set it right. Sincerely Yours,
Roland D Grant.
THE DALLES COAL FIELDS.
The Vein Struck In a Well at the Electric
Light Plant. '
All doubt as to the reality of the ex
istence of a coal bed underlying Dalles
City was laid at rest today by the dis
covery of the vein at the electric lisrht
works at a depth of 43 feet. Mr. P. L.
Kretzer, the gentleman who sunk the
well at the Columbia brewery, in
which the coal vein was first discov
ered, was engaged by the Electric
Liyht Co. to sink a well at their plabt,
which is about one-fourth of a mile
north of the brewery, struck a coal
vein which is five feet in thickness,
and is of the same quality of coal found
in the brewery well. Overlying the
vein at both places is a 12-foot strata
of soap stone, which is said by experts
to indicate the permanency and good
quality of the bed.
This receut discovery proves be
yond a doubt that the coal bed is ex- '
tensive, extending at least one-fourth
of a mile' from north to south, and the -indications
are that it extends far .
south beyond where it was stru.-k'at "
the.brewery, since it is nearer the sur- j
face at the electric light plant, indicat
ing that it dips toward tho south.
The members of the committee of ,
Commercial club, which have taken
this matter in hand, feel . much en
couraged over the recent discovery,
and feel assured that a most valuable
find has been made. The funds neces
sary for developing the prospect are
assured, and they are now engaged in
securing mineral leases of the ground
underneath which the bed lies.
When all the preliminaries are com
pleted they will ' commence develop
ment work, and ere another three
months shall elapse, the fact, will be
practically demonstrated that The
Dalles has a genuine coal mine of ex
tensive proportions. Just when de
velopment work will begin is yet un
certain, since the committee are con
sidering the advisability of drilling
down at some point south of the brew
ery, where hoisting works can be more
conveniently erected, before begin
ing sinking a shaft, but that the
prospect will be developed at an early
date is now a certainty.

THE SOUND MONEY CANDIDATE.
Jadge Northnp Addressed a Large Andl-
ence in The Dalles
Monday evening Judge Northup, of
Portland, the independent sound-
money candidate for congress in this
congressional district, addressed, a
large audience in the court house In
this city, and for an hour and three-
quarters held the undivided attention
of his hearers. Jurlge Northup is not
an orator, nor does he define his prin
ciples as clearly as even his most ar
dent admirers would desire. He de
clared his platform Ui be "soupo"-
money, protection to American in-
due'tries and an open river to the sea."
While ha is a Lair reaaonar, na is not J
one who carries conviction with what
he says, for he lacks the force of char
acter and readiness of language that
is required to present his views con
cisely. - . "
Judge Northup takes the position
that the financial question is the most
important issue that is now before the
people, and honestly believes that
were the United States to go to a sil
ver basis, which he holds is the in
evitable result in ease the free coinage
of silver is adopted, it would be most
disastrous to the debtor class, hazard
ous to the laborer, and ruinous to the
producer. By a statement of the fin
ancial condition of Al'exico,. whose sil
ver coins are taken at their bullion
value, he undertook" to show that all
the currency and silver coin of this
country would be alike depreciated if
free coinage were adopted, and that
the circulating medium of the country,
instead of being increased, would be
diminished xne-half.
Judge Northup is unquestionable
sincere in his beliefs, is strongly in
favor of maintaining the standard of
America's currency and keeping her
money on a par with the money of the
world, but he fails to make his position
clear. His speech here was not nearly
so able as tho one delivered in Port
land, and was in many respects dis
appointing to the sound money advo
cates in The Dalles.
Patting ou the Koof.
The, Portland Ashhaltum Co., who
have the contract for the roofing on
the A. M. Williams building, began
operations this morning. In conver
sation with Mr. Sweeney, he said, in
Chicago where he learned his business,
90 per cent of the immense fire proof
buildings in that progressive city are
covered with this kind of roofing.
Taking Horace- Greely's advice he
came west, organized the Portland
Asphalt Co., in conjunction with J. C.
Boyer's Cornice Works, and intro
duceu this roofing in Oregon and
Washington. With headquarters at
Portland, that their work has stood
the best test of all, the test of time,
speaks for itself. No property owner
ever having to expend one cent for rej
pairs on any building roofed by this
company. Mr. S.veeney would be
pleased to have architects, property
owners, agents or contractors to ex
amine this work and judgeof its merits
for themselves!

Judjre Ben(ett at Dufnr.
Last Saturday Judge Bennett closed
his campaign in Eastern Oregon with
a three hours' speech at the town of
Dufur. . A large audience greeted him,
the bill in which he spoke being filled
to its fullest capacity, and those who
heard his speach, say it was. among
the ablest efforts they ever listened to.
His argument was confined principally
to-the. financial issue and the tariff,
and 4t was conceded by all that they
never he.ard these questions as clearly
defined as they were by him on that
occasion.

OREGON'S POLITICAL OCTOPC9.
Where the river flows,
And the boatman rows
His blithe craft o'er it's crest.
Stands a city ot liht.
And a goodly st'hl
To tiie trayelcT seeking rest;
But alasl 'tis the den of tie Mogul's sin.
Where the Motrul dwells with hU kith sad kin
A political nile-or-ruin;
With old man Scott,
And Simon's rot.
And Northup in the Jam;
With thugs and toughs
And thieves and rocg s.
And the man of the Telegram.
A political nest
Of the leach and pest.
And the vampire flying free,
To suck the life
Of the man who's strife
Is cotten ronetly; '.
A hope to swill with honest blood.
Would chaste corruptions swelling flood.
Or breed dishonesty
Through old man Scott,
And Simon's rot.
And Northup In the Jam;
And tbugs and toughs
And thieves and roughs.
And the man of the Telegram.
Oh. eive us our way
And political sway.
They howled, in the nomination!.
With mind, and what
With purse and rot.
They worked their combination.
But alas! for their plan, they encountered a man
Who run the campaign on a different plan
Than the bully-rag combination
Of old man S?ott
And Simon's rot.
And Northup in the Jam;
And thugs and toughs
And thieves and roug'as.
And the man of the Telegram.
But since the slrife.
They spring to lif a.
With venom, hate and cowardice,
To down the right
With i njust fight. '
And victory gain at any price.
An Octopus without a mate.
That coils and strikesand strikes for hate
Of this fair land's prosperity.
There is old man Scott,
And Simon's rot.
And Northup in the Jam:
And thugs and.toughs ,
And thieves and roughs
And the man of the Telegram.

COXEY WAS HERE.
The Organizer of tho "C ommonwealero"
Visited The Dalles.
When the west-bound passenger
stopped in front of the Umatilla House
Sunday morring at 4:39 a raiher dis
tinguished looking couple alighted,
and the few loungers about the hotel
lobby at that early hour recognized
the gentleman to be "General" J. S.
Coxey, the organizer of the "common
weal army of 1884. The news ot his
arrival ia the city was soon noised
around, and he became the object ot
interest during the day.
A representative of -the TlMES
MOUNTAINEER had an audience with
the "general," and found him an un
assuming, intelligent gentlemen,
hardly the kind of a character one
would expect to see In the man who
created such a commotion throughout
the country two years ago.
Coxey is full of isms and theories,
and has a plan for revolutionizing. the
financial. systems of the country. The
present financial ills he attributes to a
contraction of the currency brought
about by the adoption of a single stand
ard, hence he is an advocate' of the
free coinage of silver. But this alone,
he thinks, would afford only temporary
relief, and he proposes the issuance of
an unlimited amount of non-interest
bonds (paper ' money) in sufficient
quantifies to pay off all the 'interest
bearing debt of the nation, and mak
ing them legal tender for all debts
! whatsoever. He also believes in gov.
eminent should furnish employment
to everybody who wants to work, by
building roads and other internal im
provements and coast defense without
limit. To pay for these works he
would have the nation - start its print
ing presses going and grind out Uncle
Sam's "I. O. U." without stint. If
Coxey bad his way he rfould make
money plentiful for the present, but
he nor anybody else would attempt to
be responsible for the final result of
such infilation. His idea is' to have
good times for the present and let the
future look out for itself.

Banishment of the.Reformers.
Cape Town, May 16 The Trant
vaal executive has confirmed the sen
tences of banishment of the members
of the reform committee. F. L. Gray,
one of the prisoners, becoming insane
recently, succeeded in committing
suicide by cutting his throat.
A dispatch from Johannesburg said
the sentences of the so called reform
ers would be reduced. The Standard
and Diggers' News claim to have
authority for announcing that the sen
tence has been reduced to a small fine
and imprisonment. It was also an
nounced in the Johannesburg news
papers that the sentence of banish
