THREATENING SALEM.
It would be well for our Salem friend
to seriously oonsider before they resort
to injunction proceedings towards the
looation of the brunch asylum. If such
move is contemplated, it may result in
the amendment of the state constitution
and in tunt event our capital city may
suffer to a greater extent than by allow
ing these needed Draucnes to be located.

Tbe above threats from the four lead
lug democratic papers of the state, aimed
as they are at Halem, nre founded upon
a misapprehension. There is no cause
for any feeling against this city, and in
deed there exists no feeling whatever ex
cept in the minds of the prejudiced wri
ters above quoted.
The objeotion from the Portland paper
oomes with a very ill grace. If there in
any cause tor dissatisfaction with what
was done at Salem by the late legislature
tbe blame should be laid at the dnor of
Portland. The Portland politicians,
Keady and Qullixon, oorrupted the whole
legislature by their deals with other sec
tions of the state to get the speakership,
by (giving one section an asylum, another
jiiRfl mill, etc. It ia against this very
evil f planting the state institutions in
diljyfent sections of the state where they
become a corrupting influence by com
bining the selfish interests of those sec
tions for raids upon the treasury. It is
not Salem that protests agninut locuting
the soldiers' home elsewhere. Capital
Journal.
It ocours to the Gazette that the whole
matter consists of a lot of useless kick
ing. It is the policy of all states to plaoe
state institutions in various parts of the
commonwealth whore each would have
a suitable looation. Fortland, as well as
other sections of Oregon, except the
eastern portion of the state, have their
share of state institutions, which they
deserye and can take cure of. Mow East
ern Oregon has an asylum and normal
school, the former yet to be located.
From what the Gazette can learn, tbe
politicians of Halem and other sections
can "raise n hand" us easily as the Port
land boys, so there is little use in railing
at Keady and Oullixon.
Tbic La Grande Chronicle mini gets hot
because the Gazette's tditor said that
there was "still snow in Grand lionde
valley." It was tho ouse when our buss
gave utterance to that remark, and there's
no use of our friend get.iiig his back up
over the mutter. And God Almighty
has been kind enough in the past to give

Tim people of the Panhandle of Texas
desire to convert that section into a state
of their own. They claim that they are
ao fur from the capital and other political
centers of the viibI commonwealth that
they have really no chance tor a share in
anything. About nil they can get is the
appointment of a few notaries public.
The treaty or act for the oriniual annex

BUM! BT HIKES A KEYNOTE.
From the t-alt Lake 1 riUuiie.
In (lie etirreut Jiorth American Ileview
Representative Bland has an article on
the currency. There ia a great deal of
jf tDat ; ,)Hrtian, but in the course of it
besavs:
'The time 1ms come when our sixty-
five or seventy millions of people must
act independently
No limping or stilted i
standard as we now have chu long sur-
"ive. Silver is either a safe money metal !
or it i not. If it is not snituble for free I
coinage, it ought not to be f urther coined.
If it is suitable forooiimgeat all, itought
not to be debased by limiting its coinage.'' '
That is the true business. Mr. Bland j
is not a great man. He is narrowly par-:
, . ., . 1
tisan on most questions, and in this very
article be tights national banks with as:
much vigor as did Jackson, and Jackson
worked under entirely different condi
tions. National banks are good institu
tions. In their material workings they
supply as much protection to tbe depos
itors as any other form of banks, proba
bly a little more. In discussing tbe sil
ver question, we do not see why Mr
Bland holds it necessary to make the gist
of bis article an attack on National banks
instead of an argument in fuvor of silver.
The extract quoted above is really what
ought to be iu the heart of every Ameri
can, it is time for our eixty-nve or sev-
euty millions of people to aot independ
ently. It is the veriest humbug on earth
to hide behind that shadow which raises
an immense bugaboo, that the American
people cannot adopt a money sj stem un
less it can first ohtuiu the oonsent and
approval of one single, solitary power
beyond tbe Ben; a lower tco, which has
never been noted for anything on earth
so much us for the selfish pushing of its
own interests. It: is time for our states
men to say to France: "We would like
to have you join us. We have some sil
ver in our desert hills. We have a sus
picion that that silver was placed there
for the sole purpose of permitting ne to
use it for money in order to develop the
rest of our oontineut, and we are going to
use it for money, all that our miners can
find and dig. We are going to make that
us perfect money in our country as gold
itself. You have done bravely iu France
to hold up the reputation of silver, when
the English, the Dutch and the Germans
all combined to debase and degrade it
Keep doing that kind of work uud we
will have silver iu six mouths in such
guiee before the world that tbe creditors
will not care whether they shall be paid
in paper redeemable by silver or pnper
redeemable by gold." In that one sent
ence, that one appeal to the self-respect
and self-appreciation of tho American
people, Mr. Bland has done his country
service. He is tight, too, wheu he says
that silver is either a safe monev metal
or it is not. It it is not suitable for free
coinage it ought not to be turtber coined.
If it is suitable for coinage at all, it ought
not be debased by limiting its coinage.
WHY TIJKY DON'T.
From the Irish World.
Wby don't the government authorities
in Ireland arrest mid prosecute tbe
orange lcuilers wbo nre talking treason
at Belfast? This is a j uostion some
people hove been usking. When Irish
Nationalists, tbey any, have even hinted
ut war they have been seized aud oust
into jail. Why not the eauie done with
the orungeuieu ? We suppose therenseu
is that the government knows very well
that the orunga threats are mere empty
bluster, not worthy of the least seri
ous nttciitiou. This is evident from the
auswerto a question ou the subject
giveu tbe other day iu the bouse of
commons by Mr. Cumbell-liuunerniuti,
secretary tor wnr. Here are the ques
tion uud answer as wo find them re
ported: "Mr. Ltiboucbere asked the secretary
for war whether his attention bus been
cull to a report of a speech delivered by
the member for North Aruiuvh (lohmel
Suuiidersoii on March 15 al anOri ngmud
UumniHt demonstration, from wtiiob it
appeared that he announced his inten
tion o resisting home rule, if necessary
by force, ami nis i expressed bis belief
that tbe Itritisli army would refuse to
act ugiiinst Ulster loyalists. He (Mr.
I.ulionchere) asked whether in view of
the Inct that the member for North
Armagh is colonel of the Fourth Battalion
of Irish Fusiliers, it is intended to take
any ui'tion in respect to these obser
vations." "Mr Camiiui,i, -IUnnkhman I hud not
read the speech referred to until my
utteutioti wns called to it hy this ques
tion. As is indicated by my honorable
friend, tbe member for North Armagh
lias two existences, lie is the colonel
of n regiment of Irish militiu, mid be is
also an active, if not 'excited politician.'
It was solely iu the second capacity that
he niude this speech. My honorable
friend will agree with me that we have
long ugo learned in this house to gauge
the value of the exaggerated language
sometimes employed by the honorable
mid gallant SaiiuderHon , ami 1 hardly
think special notice need be taken of
this particular ebullition."
The government have ganged the
value of the orange talk about fight,
and they have estimated it us wind and
nothing more. This is why they don't
prosecute. The Hiuindersons are mere
windbags. To nrrest or prosecute them
would muke them persons of importance,
w hich tbey nre not likely ever to become.

A stirring incident took place not long
ago in Courbevoie, when Paul Leprince,
the aeronaut, and one of his friends,
made a balloon ascension. They bad
reached an elevation of fifteen hundred
feet, when they berm to hear a pecul
iar whistling sound. Leprince climbed
upon the ring, and discovered a tear, a.
few im-hes long, made by the branch
of a tree, against which they had swept
iu their upward passage. What fol
lowed is related by Leprince iu ..'Illus
tration. At this moment, the sun dispelled the
clouds and shone with all its force upon
the balloon. This produced such an
expansion of gas that the valve was not
sullieient to lessen the strain, and the
fabric tore apart, with a noise like the
-ustling of leaves. Through the open
ing poured the gas in great volumes.
"We are lost!" cried my friend.
"The ballast!" shouted I. "The bal
last!" In an instant two bags were thrown
out. I saw by the barometer that we
were nearly live thousand feet above
the ground, and then the fall began.
We threw out everything of any weight,
and prepared to oast otf our clothing,
and resolved to cling, at the moment of
striking, to the netting above.
l-'ortunately, there was a strong wind
blowing, which carried us along at the
rate of thirty-rive or forty miles an
hour, and enabled us to fall at an angle,
thus softening the shock.
The balloon was violently shaken in
iU flight, anil kept swinging and sway
ing in a horrible manner, hut this mo
tion was, after all, what saved us.
During one of the most vigorous of
these movements, the lower part of tho
bnllixm was tlir,,vt, to th, iuiti.'r n.-vrt
0f the netting, and rested there against
the valve, in the shape of a dome, form
ing an immense parachute. At once,
the full was sensibly arrested, but we
were still one hundred yards' from the
ground. The time had come to throw
overboard our clothes, but there proved
to be no time.
Scarcely had we reached the ropes at
tached to ihe ring, when a terrible shock
was felt, and we, the basket and bal
loon were rolled over on the ground to
gether. We were not injured, nor did
we even lose consciousness, and thus
was a fall ot nearly a mile accomplished
Ln less than four minutes.
