REVISION OF THE CHARTER.
The qufition of reTiaing tha charter
Ibould now concern the people of Hepp
ner. A eeanioo of tbe leitialtiture is neai
t hand, and our aenator and repreeeuta
tive abould be made acquainted wilh tie
net da and demands of tbe people, au tbt
they may ameud tbe obarter odfiSfdly.
In tbe first place, there is an almost
ni.iversal demand or the election of tbe
marshal by tbe people. As it is now, he
is appointed by tbe council which thrown
more responsibility upon their shoulders
tban anyone should care to assume. It
that officer proves unworthy upon trial,
in oase our town should decide to eltcl
Instead of appoint, why then they have
no one to blame but themselves. Thr
Osiette thinks this is the sentiment ol
the people on this subject, and their
wishes oertaiuly oiiKbt t0 be respected.
Nearly all are satisfied that it is un
necessary to amend that part of the char
ier railing for bonded indebtedness. Tbt

bv, there is no immediate demaud for i
larger bonded indebtedness. In aftn
year, should the town uYuire to put in i
sewerage system, or to provide money foi
the purobase of tbe wuteruorks, accord
iug to the terms of i be contract, then n
is time enough to do this. Though hi

larger bonded indebtedness, bas uuthinn
to do whatever with making the debi
larger, our people will hardly permit thai
near an approach to an increase. Lei
lieppner have time to ciitoli ita b'eall.
over what it has done, before it goes ii
any deeper.
The matter of an inorensed rate of tux
ation, may be more evenly divided u
the publio mind, yet as the present char
ter provides how a necessary iuereat-t
may be made, it would hardly seem neo
easary to make any amendments iu thin
direction. It is pretty generally conced
ed tLat at the preseut rate of income.
Heppner can meet all demands. If wi
cannot, the charter provides how surl
items as interest may be met, and thorn
holding oar bonds aim force pujuicnl
licppner's taxes are high enough.

many outsiders seem to enjoy as muu

These are tbe Gazette's impressions on

following the adoption or rejection oi

HALF THE TRUTH.
The Portland Telegram ill commenting
on the reniaik of Senator Stewart thai
the president's message is an overdrawn
pidureot Ihe prosperity of Ibe country,
it says; "Uy comparison we are nion
prosperous than a good tunny other na
tious. Yet our degree of prosperity is
far below what it would have been if oui
tariff and domicilii legislation had heei
ill the interest of the masses instead ol
in Ihe intermit of the classes. MoKin
ley ism bas been a blight upou our com
meice from which it will lake the conn
try a long lime to recover. The demon
etizatiuu of silver indicted nu almost ir
reparable injury upou all business do
pari meuts except money -lending. With
a reduced tariff and the remoin tizution
of silver, our oountiy, with its wonder
ful recuperative powers, will be iiblo to
recover Ihe ground that has been lent;
but it will reqtiir" time and palituco to
accomplish it. It cannot be done lit a
day nor iu a year."
A policy that leaves more money in tin
Couuiry than it takes out, insure to tiling
prosperity. Though pledget! to sweep
ing reform, ti.e inn. inline p'rty will lt
well to let "Mi Kiiih yisiu" alone. Tin
"reduced tariff" is a new lliing suioe tin
flection. Most all of the ilt-tiioaiiitu) pa
pers want It p. cream ii about Shi Ihil'.lMi

BiroRI the end of the silver conference
across the ai'4, we think that ye balky
members from India and Great llritaiu
will get a taste of something that
make them more tractable. We think
that onr delegates, headed by the great
Senator Jones, of Nevada, will promise
tlnm a speetly repeal of both tbe Sher
man and Blaud laws, if they don't oon e
to terms otherwise. This will make times
hard on this side lor a few month", but il
ia worth tbe cost. Great Britain s India,
with her 3 000,000,000 ounota of silver,
will Iben be the party most ooucerned.
Instead of assuming a defiant attitude
aud an abusive polio, she will tie the
oue who will most clamorously urk-e
iutaruatiuubl recognition of silver to save
her firm ruin. Englnr-ri ia far remove!
from being the finsncial center of tbe
world, as she arrogantly supposes her
self, and when Jones baa finished bia
little talk, a great uation will have taken
a tumble unto l erielf. Tbe people are
beginning to feel that there ia some hope
of international recognition of silver,
which all will agree ia an eaaier road to
free coinage in America tban by wbollt
independent action. Let tbe world
return to the financial policy previous
to that of 1873, and e will have fewer
mortgaged farms and more money to
meet them when they become due.
Tub subject of fiee coinage of silver is
Hgitnting the people everywhere, and
while it is not a subject that should be
dragged in tbe mud by political parties,
will ruin the party so soon to succeed to
power, if they do nut take some action
to restore silver from its unnatural place
as a commodity to where it was previous
to 1873 good aud lawful money. As
hetwten Harrison and Cleveland, the
former is much the better friend to silver,
aud the Western states may have causi
to regret an action which virtually was
a halfway going over to the enemy

The dispatches ate a little confused,
but they carry the idea that the British
oouiniissioiiers iu the international con
ference were sent there for no other
purpose than to stampede tbe conference.
It that lesult is brought around, then
we shall be heartily iu faor of having
emigres, iu one day, repeal both tbe
Sherman act and tbe Blaud act. At
present, the United States is buying 4.'

whuh are payable iu silver. India bas
beeu receiving silver since the day s of
fuliiis fVsar, Btid absoibing it. It is
estin atul that that country has between
,000,000,000 and 8,000,00u,000 ounce ot
silver ; it is tbe money of that ountry.
With our own country drawing out of
tbe silver nisi ket, and making do pro
visions for tbe use of silver aa money.
England would liavi to face the respon
sibility of seeing tbe silver of India main
tained by diieot interposition ot tbe
government, or aee such a panio aa
would shake her atrongeat financial
bousea to tbe base. It would make bard
timea here for, perhaps, ninety days, Dot
longer; and this is so apparent, that we
believe tbe real lutention of tbe British
delegates, in that conference, is to hold
up some plan like Rotbobild's, and bluff
tbe conference with the threat that,
unless that shall be accepted, or some
thing equivalent, (hey will witbdra.
We think their plan is understood by
the American delegates, and that, if tbe
thing comes to a test, some one of those
delegates will defy them to withdraw,
without some settlement of the question,
and tell them, in very plain English
although it may be translated into
French that they have so much more
at stake than the United States, that if
they p'euse to withdraw, all right.
The truth is, iu all such arrangements,
Great Britain fur sixty years lias gone
into business with two objeots; first to
biive her owu way, and second, to have
tbe lion's Bhure. That is what she will
try this time. She is liable to fail, be
cause w hen it comes to a trade, although
the buukers ot Great Britain who are
represented by the British delegates are
audacious enough and determiued to
carry their point, still when it conies
down to a quesliou ot trade they are
wonderfully cautions, and especially as
their chief commissioner bas already
oufeesed, unless some adjustment shall
he made it will mean universal panic.
With that alternative over their heads,
if they are opposed resolutely enough,
in Ihe end they will weaken. It is ex
actly suoh a case un a larger scale as is
seen every day in a clothing store on
Ohnllinm street, New Yolk, where the
ineichuut declares be will take $0 for a
coat and that he would not sell it for one
neimy less to his ow n brother, and etill
hefoie the customer goes out be geie
he ooat for 83.
We have perfect confidence that Ihe
men lepreseu'ing the United Slates iu
hat conference will neither be bluflVd
nir bullied; that tbe only soft spot
through which tbev oan be reached will
be that they will accept a compromise
which the radical silver men of this
couuiry will think it too much of a sac
ifice, bin if they do that it will have to
e by au approach upon them not iu th
form of a bluff ur a dare, but iu respeot-
ul teiuis, asking that the interests ol
he wholo world shal1 be considered.
