' The Cubans Are not treating tbeir
old and vanquished enemies with much
respect and are not pulling off their
hats to them when ever they meet. A
Key West dispatch says: "Disturb

were resented by several of the officers

This should create no surprise. It
is only natural that a people who have

that once held them in subjection are

Mr. Newlands com batted the propo
sition of expansion of credit, and said
the welfare of the nation lay in tjbe ex
pansion of money. Values depend, he
said, on the quality of money. Dimi

pockets of the people.
MINORITTS OPPORTUNITY.

Oregon that bad a better opportunity

vicious editorial:

than that he is a wealthy banker, who

THE REFORM RECORD
STARTLING POSSIBILITIES.
Pioneers who have been in tbe
Pacifio northwest for 40 to 60 years,
and have seen tbe country develop
from a vast, lonely and oppressive
wilderness to its present conditions,
are apt to imagine that the surprises
have been exhausted that Washing
ton, Oregon, Montana and Idaho have
almost reached their maximum capa
bilities in tbe support of population .
A special correspondent of the Bos
ton Transcript, who has been traveling
through this section for the past fort
night, presents some suggestions in
that naner of September 17, which is
startling.
"Oregon alone." savs the writer, "if
as tbicKiy popuiatea as Germany,
would contain 22,000,000 people; as
France, 18,000,000; as Den mark! 12,000,-
000; and as Belgium, 40000,000.
When the state is as well filled np as
Illinois, it will have 8.000,000 people;
as Massachusetts, 26,000,000. The six
Ne England states, with substantially
do minerals-, except marble and build
ing stones,and not tbe best agricultural
lands, with forests almost swept away.
aod eeneral resources worn by 200
years of cultivation, support nearly
5,000,000 people on about 67.000 square
miles of territory. Washington alone
has 69,000 square miles and Oregon
96.000."
It is probable almost to a point of
certainty that tbe next quarter cen
tury will bring astonishing growth to
this section and its cities. Younge
arrivals are wont to lament that tbe
opportunities presented to the pioneers
who came here 20, 30 or 40 years ago
are not now spread before tbern. In
truth, opportunities are now spread
before the present population which
excel those presented to the pioneers.
Francis G. Newlands in his remarks
said:
. "Most of the disturbance since 1893
has been caused by; the elimination of
silver from the money of the country.
; This reached its culmination in 1893,
when England closed her-mints in
India and this country passed, its limit
ed coinage bill. I do not wish to dis
cuss the silver question, but I wish' to
remark in passing that paper money,'
so called, is not money; it Is merely
evidence of indebtedness, whether of
the government or a bank. Basic
' money requires no redemptiou, and
the only basic money - is gold and
silver."
- Mr. Newlands thea discussed .the
Gage bill and the -various other meas
ures proposed by the gold bugs. He
said:
"Real monetary reform should be ad
dressed to the expansion of basic
money and not the expansion of debts.
Bankers say we have not 'yet ex
panded the credit system sufficiently.
I have told you that the bank deposits
are about three thousand millions,
nd that the reserve is only'six- hun
dred millions that is, in a ratio of 5
to 1. Tbe savings banks and trust
companies have most of tbeir money
'in the commercial banks, and so tbe
deposits actually amount to about six
thousand millions, with; only the
reserve or. ODe-tenth. How

LET IT BE HONEST.

paper in the state, bnt.which, if not in
fact, U in action, an adjunct to the
Simon wing of the republican party,
denounces a few of us who. supported

now ask that a' senator be elected so
as to allow some legislation enacted,
as republicans. What a consistent
old fo9t.il tbe Dispatch is! Does it ex

pretends to favor silver, yet last June
lent its influence to defeat tbe silver
candidates. It pretends to be demo
cratic in politics, but would boost Mr.
(Jorbett into toe senate, it stands as
the friend of the people, yet would
have another bold up in the legis
lature, rather than have a democratic

THE OREGON SENA TORSHIP
It is expected that the Oregon legis
lature, which convened yesterday in
soecial session, says the Spokesman
Review, will elect H. W. Corbett.
Portland banker, to tbe state's vacant
seat in the United States senate. The
Spokesman-Review has no approval
for that spirit which would shut the
door of public preferment against any
honest slass of American citizenship.
The circumstance that Mr. Corbett is
a banker and a man of great wealth, is
of itself no objection to bis admission

ies of statesmanship which oug' t to be

A P0PULI8TIC VIEW. '.
; ' ' s
-, rusion witn silver Democrats or
Silver Republicans never worked? in
jury to tbe people's party. It was our
internal quarrels over the subject of
fusion tbat divided us. ' It would be' as
sensible to charge that ' our failure to
fuse with other parties Is tbe cause of
bur party differences as to take the
other born of tbe dilemma. It 'was
tne acrimonious aiscusslons in -.out-
party conventions on . the subject of
fusion that divided our forces, and not
fasion itself, If, when a -majority of
tbe party in convention assembled, de
cided to accept or. reject fusion tbe
minority bad acceded to the will of
the majority there would be perfect
party, harmony in our ranks to-day,
regardless of whether, we fused. with
any other party or not. For this di
vision and threatened disruption over
the question of. fusion, we can blame
neither . the democrats nor silver, re
publicans. We can blame ourselves.'
The struggle has been fought out in
our own ranks and In our own party
conventions and all the ill-will of one!
element toward another has bean -en-
gendered to the bitterness ad 2iaired
money which makes the political .mare
go. If be were shorn of . his . wealtb,
he would pot be a senatorial possibility.
' Mr. Corbett'a election would Imedia-
tely level Oregon to the plane of those
states which put their able men in
political retirement in order to ad
vance tbe ambition of a mere money
grubber. It is entirely fitting, how
ever, that the republican . party of
Oregon, whose surrender to the
money power has been conspicuous
and unconditional, sbouid bring for
ward as its highest type of . senatorial
material a condidate whose life and
action are so replete in the dominat
ing spirit of tbe party
A leading paper of England im
pudently remarks that the United
States "is not a nation." Not content
with this simple statement, it goes on
to. say in polysyllable fashion tbat the
stales art "an aggroupment fortuitous
and colossal, established on a semi-
continent of fabulous natural wealtb.
ithout historic roots, without tradi
tions, witnout internal resistances or
external obstacles which developed be

things considered. '. ' - ; - " .

The Portland Oregonian asserts
'bat the pending campaign in this
tate "will be a fight .to redeem the
ood name and fame of the state of
Washington, says the Spokesman-
Review.
The Oregonian is mistaken; is two
years behind the times. Tbe cam
paign of 1896 was a fight to redeem
the good name and fame of the state of
Washington." and they have been
splendlaly redeemed.
Under tbe woeful mismanagement
and downrieht dishonesty of tbe re
publican organization,- Washington
bad been loaded to the guards with
debt. ' For eight years tho republican
administration had carried tbe state in
to debt at the rate of $800 daily. When
Washington came into tbe union its
debt was only $164,339, but after eight
years of increasing extravagance,' the
republican administration went out of
power leaving the enormous debt of
$2,309,763.
. f Then the reform forces came into re
sponsibility, and tbe results are before
the voters. For more than eighteen
months the reform administration has
been lifting the state out of debt at the
rate oi $1,000 day. On July 1, 1898,
it had reduced the state debt to
$f,722,l92. .
As 4 result tbe state's credit has
peen redeemed. State warrants, wbich
had fallen to 90 cents under republican
r'lle, and were going lower right alonsr,
have long since been advanced to a
premium.
Here is an argument which appeals
even to the security buyers on Wall
street. They may cry "populist dis
grace," but it is noticeable that they
bid up promptly for the state's warrents
at a premium.
So the state ba been redeemed
from a wrecked public credit, and it
has been redeemed in other ways.
The Oregonian knows, if it know aught
of affairs in this state, that, the present
reform administration has been tbe
cleanest, most honorable and efficient
in the state's history; remarkably free
tram errors, and wholly free from
si-andals.
The record lies open before tbe
voters. It cannot be obscured by
vapid generalization about "tbe pa
triotic and moral spirit of the state,"
"respectability in public affairs." and
"tbe disgrace and injury of the popul
istio victory of two years ago."
Punishment by heavy. fine and im
prisonment is provided for fraudulent
registration. All general and special
elections are to be held under this act.
.SLIPPERY TURK AT HAY.
His most serene highness, the sultan
of Turkey, is about to be bothered by
the same, old clique. Rome advices
purport to believe tbat the Cretan
question' is to be settled for good and
all, even though tbe fleets of the allied
powers anchor under the shadow
of yhe mosques of Constantinople. -'
Ijn an average of once a year these
same threats are made and there is.
the usual stir among tbe salaried liars
and evaslonic ts of Turkey. Rarely is
it possible to corner tbe slippery Turk,
more seldom is it recorded tbat be
fulfills bis promises. This time, how-
ever, a fair opportunity presents itself
to the. European powers. The. bluff
has been made that Turaish troops
muBt leave Crete. England has taken
thd initiative, France and Russia have
consented. Warships are at hand
and troops within easy cr-lL If Turkey
is nermitted to wiggle out of tbis
trout le Europe may as well abandon
all bope of regulating such affairs in
future.
A GOOD BILL.
i
Representative Hill, of Multnomah
county, has introduced in the bouse a
bill providing for a registration law
that is worthy of the consideration of
the legislature, aod we trust tbat be
fore tbe special session adjourns it will
be placed upon tbe statute books. Tbe
main features of tbe bill are as follows:
Judges and clerks of election are to
meet at the usual place of voting on
the first Monday in May proceeding
each general election for the purpose
of reffisterlner votes, and shall sit for
two days from 9 A. M. to 5 p. m. It is
made the duty of each elector to apply
for reffistrttion in the precinct where
he sbtV reside. Judges shall require
proof of citizenship and other quali
fications, and failure to supply it will
disqualify tbe applicant for registra
tion.. ' The county clerk shall copy the
names registered In the precinots into
county register, and any person re
acted by the precinct judges may ap
ply to the '' county judge or circuit
judge for redress. Provision is made
for the voting of qualified electors who
may aot be on the registration lists.
While it is true that Colonel Bryan
desires bis regiment mustered out, as
the war is over, the Salem Statesman
and Eugene Register will please note
that neither he nor any of his men will
desert like the cowardly skunk that
Mark Han na's puppet made secretary
of war.
Tbe grip Uncle Sam has on the
Philippines is something like the bold
Pat had on tLe billy goat. There is no
convenient place to let go without
getting hurt.
Indications are quite strong tbat it
will be W. H. Corbett for United
States senator or nobody. Corbett has
paid for the honor in hard cash, and
be will not be likely to consent to any
one else having it if he cannot-be
elected himself.
Tbe Statesman heads an article
The Portland Hog," because the
writer claims the metropolis has in.
jured its wheat market. Salem ought
to enjoin Portland. The world ought
to wag at the will of the state-house
town or be stopped by legal process.
One measure of economy has been
instituted in the legislature a resolu
tion has been introduced allowing only
one clerk to each of the house commit
tees, it is to be hoped the resolution
will become the rule of the house and
senate too.
The democrats of New York have
nominated Mayor Van Wyck for gov
ernor, and be will be elected. His op
ponent, Col. Roosvelt, has only his rec

and this will not be sufficient to seat
h'm in the gubernationai chair.
Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, the well
known democratic statesman and for
mer ambassador to England, is dead.
He passed away on the 28th at Karls
teln, Mass , at the summer residence
of his daughter. Mr. Bayard was in
deed a great man, and one of the fore.
most politicians of the nation. -
The opposition to Mr. (Jorbett are
displaying very poor tactics in ' their
effort to heat him. Their candidate,
Judge M. C. George, never made any
record in congress tbat would recom
mend him as a strong man for senator,
Had they championed Mr. Hermann's
cause, tbey might have met with suc
cess, but with George they will likely
assist Corbett in bis aspirations.
- Gold, bug Judee Hanna of Jackson
county has reduced the taxation of the
Southern . Pacific railroad company
from an assessment of $10,000 per mile
to $4,500. Jackson countywas tbe only
one in tbe state where an earnest ef
fort bad been made to assess the rail
road company at something like tbe
rate made in California but of course
a sold bu? judge came to the aid of
the corporation. That is what they
are for.
When a man isin office he imagines
that office is very necessary to the
people.' General Compeon is a rail
road commissoner. and thinks if the
commission were abolished, the rail
roads of the state- would go to wreck
and ruin and thousands of people
might be killed through the neglect of
the companies owning tbe roads. Gen
eral Compson wants to bold onto bin
job.
In 20 years tbe republican vote o
Vermont has fallen only twice to the
low figures of tbe recent election in
tbat state. Tbe republican vote in
Maine at tbe election held on the 12th
inst. was 43.440. Tbis is tbe lowest
republican: vote the state has cast since
tbe civil war by 17,782. Tbe vote is
36,000 below tbe republican vote in tbe
state in 1896. The republicans stayed
away from the polls in both states for
some reason.
The New York World says the banks

A novel plan for elevating Georgia
morals has been formulated by a well
known citizen of Atlanta. He pro
poses tbat each county shall decide by
vote on January 1, of each year who
the worst man in the county is, and
that the man receiving the highest
number of votes shall, on the ensuing
February 1, be banged. It is claimed
for tbe plan it will induce bad inento
emigrate, and tbat tbe "complimentary
vote" received by those who had just
begun to be bad, but were not gener
ally recognized as such, would tend to
create a desire within them to be en
rolled among the well-behaved. . The
plan, at first thought, seems to have
some merit.
The Sultan evidently thinks he is
strong enough to defy the powers.
Since his victory over tbe Greeks, he
has felt his oats exceedingly. At first
he flatly refused to withdraw his troops
from Crete and charged upon the
British the responsibility for the out
break at Candia. This generation is
reaping the fruit of England's inter
vention in Crimea. The best' thing
tbat England can do will be to use her
great fleet to wipe out the Turk, and
thus atone for her crime against
humanity in having protected bim.
As we alrfo have a little account for

Tbe advocates of extending the suff
rage of women just now have a strong
force exertrd on their, side of the
question by the action of the supreme
court of Idaho. Speaking of . this the
Albany Law Journal says tbat tbe ad
vocates of women suffrage will doubt
less be greatly encouraged by tbe of
ficial opinion of the full bench of tbe
supreme court of Idaho tbat tbe ex
periment with such suffrage in that
state is a decided success, that it is
more popular among the people than
when first adopted, and that none of
the evils predicted of it by . its op
ponents have come to pass. Moreover,
it is the opinion of the court that if the
question wore re-submitted to the
people of the state it would be adopted
by a vote almost unanimous.

Paris, Sept. 29. The United States
peaco commission held another ses
sion this morning, after which accom
panied by ambassador Horace Porter,
they drove to the foreign office, wh;re
the commissioners met and breakfasted
with the Spanish commissioners.
French newspapers continue their
comments. Gil Bias says:
"The Spanish government has given
the commissioners very precise in
structions. They are to do their ut
most to have it admitted tbat therecan
be no question of disputing the rights
of Spanish sovereignty over Manila,
the island of Luzon and the rest of the
archipelago outside of the naval stat
ions which Spain will cede at the
Lad rone islands. --.
"On tbe other side, tbe American
commission has very precise instruct
ions from which the commissioners
cannot depart. The following is the
text of their Instructions:
"First Spain cedes absolute sover
eignty over tbe whole of the bland of
Luzon. ,
"Second The other Islands of the
archipelago will be replaced nnder tbe
dominion of Spain on condition that a
liberal government is accorded to tbe
inhabitants.
"Third Complete separation of

Issues have grown out of the Spanish

Tbe Paclflio coast is vitally interest
ed, and Oregon needs a senator at
Washington of experience, capacity
and courage. These matters will
probably be passed upon this winter,
so the election of a senator should not
wait until tbe regular session.
Tbe failure of tbe legislature to
organize in 1997 left tbe state without
appropriations, and forced it to run oa.
credit. Consequently many .warrants
were drawn, vouchers - issued and
claims filed. This business sbouid be
disposed of, and not left for the reg
ular session, when two appropriation
bills would afford a chance to raid the
treasury with dickering and jobbery.
