A STSIKIXG COMPARISON.
The report of the condition of the
treasury, September 1, furnishes a
number of important statements. Per
haps the most important is that which
shows the change that has taken place
in the oharaoter of the treasury assets.
We give the statement for September 1,
1K94, and put in comparison with it the
like statement for September 1,181)2,
viz:

A little attention will show the sig
nificance of this comparison. The re
sult, in fact, discovers a rapid drift of
the oountry towards the silver basis.
This is apparent in the heavy doorcase
of the gold holdings, and in the great
increase of those of silver. The value of
gold coin and gold bars in the treasury
two yeBrs ago was J5242, 543,695. It in
now but $12f),8H5,Wi9, or less than one
half as muoh. Take now the silver
stock silver dollars, subsidiary silver
and silvers bars. At this time in 1892
the sum total of silver iu tue treasury
was 1454,403,173. Now it amounts to
5513,l(i7,;-l;jl), an increase of nearly sixty
nine millions. Again, the gold certili'
cates in the treasury two years ago,
amounting to 824,000,009, nearly, have
idl hen drawn out save, the potty biioj
of 931,730, while the silver certificate
in the treasury have increased from two
iind three-quarters millions to thirteen
mil one-half millions. Here is prool
that onr people oouslder gold oertifi
cates better than silver certificates; and
they distrait United States notes, or
greenbacks, also, for the reason that il
our money shall go to the silver basis,
the greenback can be worth no more
than the silyer in which it will be re
deemable. Heuoe the treasury now
holds fil'ty-three and three quarters
millions more of these notes than two
years auo; and of treasury notes, is
n ued miller the aot of 1H90, it has over
822,000,001) more. The people have
t iken the gold out and put these sub
stitutes iu. The figures prove in short,
Hint the country is aotiug steadily on
I lie theory and belief that gold money in
better than silver money. It has been
taking gold out of the treasury, incluil
iug gold certificates, as fast as possible,
and storing it away, and this process ic
still going on. Iu lieu of this gold it i
putting into the treasury silver, silver
certificates and treasury notes, as fast as
the exohatige oan be made. Nor do the
comparative figures as above presented
libow the whole extent of this Bnbsti
lution, since, between the two dates
given, the gold was reinforced iu the
treasury to the extent of $50,000,0(10 1))
sale of bonds; and this gold too has
disappeared.
This examination forces a conclusion
which it is impossible to deny. Uuiver
nal distrust of onr monetary policy has
caused and is still causing the various
substitutes for money to be thrown
upon the treasury, in immense sums,
while gold has been taken out and
hoarded. A further consequence is re
fusal to use this gold in business, till
the way seems clearer to seourity and
safety. Tarill' agitation, with its par
alyzing effects upon industry, has gone
hand iu hand with the uncertainty as
to money, as all know; but the clearest
presentation of the etlect of this latter
we have yet seen is that afforded by this
comparative statement of the various
descriptions of money in the treasury
now and two years ago. Oregoniuii.
The rapid decrease in the gold reserve
and increase in currency in the treasury
of the United, States in the opinion of 'he
writer, does not so much indicate a fcai
that we are going to the dreaded silver
basis as it does something else. Sinoe
ttie siuglo standard obtained absolute
sway iu this oountry, it hue not been a
dillicult mutter for a few men to menage
the money of the country so that its
purchasing would be increased, debts
made harder to pay and the prices of
products, used by our people to secure
the circulating medium, made corre
spondingly cheaper. The first ureal
opportunity came in 1H73, but the Cleve
land administration has oertainly offered
chances unparalleled for the speculatoi
to grab his pockets full at the expense
of the people.
The change of udminititratiou iu both
the executive and legislative branches
meant it change iu tarill' policy new
lines on which business must be con
ducted in this country. Trade oame to
a BlaudBtill and depression followed.
This was u favorable moment for the
niouey speculator. He depletes the
"gold reserve," leaving Uncle Sam the
currency, and then forces him to buy
tils own money back to keep up the so
uallcd "gold reserve." It shows uo fear
on the part of the capitalist that we are
drifting to a depreciated currency, but
it does show greed and lack of patriot
ism. The worst traitor t hit t the Union
ever knew Bold his oountry for a few
thousands guineas and a major-generalship
iu the British army, but this action
is uo more despicable than that practiced
by our "financiers'' who bleed Uncle
Kara, but so long as the world slands,
men of that cbaraoter will be found in
every walk of life. The proper thing
tlien, it would smmu, would be to remove
the opportunities presented by our uatioti
for greedy hands to get their till.
The people at large are not
afraid of our money, and currency, gold
or silver, has passed dollar for dollar,
Hut so long as the country eudeavors to
maintain the single standard, just thai
long will it give opportunities for men to
draw out the basis money and force our
government to buy it buck at interest,
plunging our country deeper iu debt.
The country needs more Robert Mor
rises aud fewer Uenediet Arnolds.
If the HgureB presented by the editor
of the Oregouiau nieau anything at all,
they indicate that the single standard is
a failure, because it gives a few men full
power to mauage it to suit their liking
to impoverish theoountry to enrich them
selves. Dkcescy prevnilml down iu

THOUHLK FOB 0KF1CIAL8.
Federal Deputies Alleged tu Have at
tempted llluikniHll.
Deputy United States Marshal Matt
Murphy and E. L. Minis, traveling
deputy of the United States internal
revenue ollice, of this distriot, are placed
iu embarrassing positious by reason of
warrants having been issued for their
arrest. The charge against the deputies
is that they levied blackmail on Qporgie
ltoss, a keeper of a house of ill-fame at
The Dalles, compelling her to put up
$20 lor a lioouee.
It is alleged that both Murphy and
Minis last Friday night started out on a
tour among the bouses of ill-fame at The
Dalles. One of these places is known as
the White House, which the oflloers
visited, oidered driuks, and after they
had been served, notified the landlady
that she was under arrest for selling
liquor without a license. Deputy Sheriff
Kelly, of The Dalles, was with them.
The woman in charge refused to pay the
money. From this house, says the
report, the party went to one kept by a
(le irgie Kerne, who was induced to pat
up 20 to square herself, after the
decided protest of Hermau Met,, who
olaimed that the woman acted only as
agent for his saloon, iu supplying such
driuks as might be ordered by the
woman for the entertaiumeut of her
visitors. Iu order to prevent disturb
ance, Miss Koss paid the money de
manded of her, but later she swore out
a warrant against Murphy, charging him
tritli the unlawful oolleotlou of the
money, aud be was arrested.
Another charge agaiust the federal
utlii ials is that they visited a Chinese
store, arrested a Chinaman found there
trucking opium, and as he refused to
accede to the terms proposed, he was
arrested on a oharge of having un
stamped opium iu his possession. The
ollieials also took an opium pipe be
longing to the Chinaman, and demanded
851) from him for its return, but on the
order of Sheritf Thomas Driver the
property was returned to the owner
without the payment of any oost.
Deputy Marshal Murphy gives the fol
lowing explanation:
"There had been oouiplaiuls made by
saloon keepers and ethers that the ocon-
pants of houses of ill-fame were selling
liquor without a license, and I told there
1 would see the internal revenue officer
about it. Ou Friday last Mr. K. L. Mime,
the deputy collector of internal revenue,
came to The Dalles, and I informed the
complainants that the desired investi
gation would he made. We started to
do so that night. The first place we
visited was one called the 'White House,'
where we ordered drinks and paid for
them. After drinking 1 introduced the
landlady to Deputy Minis, who demand
ed to see her liceuse. She bad none,
and Mr. Minus told her it would oost
her $20 for the same and also $17.50
penalty. She refused to pay us, and we
left her bouse and went to i number of
similar resorts.
"One of the places visited was kept by
Georgia Koss, and Bfter drinking with
ber and then telling the object of oar
visit, she expressed herself willing to
pay the required license. I told her she
could get a license at the usual cost be
fore the complaint was made, so she
gave me $20 for snob purpose. The
next day I came to Portland, left the
money with my brother, who procured
the necessary license and forwarded it
to the applicant at The Dalles."
Murphy claims also that his arrest is
tbe result of spite work on the part of
certain people in The Dalles.
United States Marshal Grady bad not
yet returned to Portland from Pendleton
when the charges were made, and Col
lector Blackman has not yet exprerssed
himself.
Mr. Mims was not in the city today
and therefore no statement could be
seoured from him, says the E. O. He
left on an inspection tour this morning
intending to go to Baker city and other
points in tbe mountain region. The
charges coming from The Dalles have
created a profound sensation and the
outcome will be waited for anxiously.
Friends of Mr. Mims hope that he may
be able to make satisfactory explanations
on his return to Pendleton.
Mr. Mims was in Heppner about a
week ago, having come np from The
Dalles to this plaoe. At that time he
evidently knew nothing of the charges
against bim.
THE NEW K1FLK.
Peculiarities of the Gnu Just Heine Issued
to tbe Army.
From The Oregouiau
A rifle that pierces 45 inches of Bolid
planking at 200 yards 1 A gun that kills
at a mile and three-quarters! Kuoh is
the new Krag-Jorgensen ride that is be
ing distributed to the United States army.
Soon the historic Springfield rifle, which
as a muzzle-loBder and breeoh-Ioader,
has played such an important part in
the nation's wars, will have passed awuy
into history. For the first time sinoe
this country was a nation we have set
aside native talent to seek abroad for the
weapons with which to arm our troops.
This new rifle is a Danish invention,
and was selected from among Europe
an and Amerioan weapons. It weighs 8
pounds, whereas the Springfield, with
bayouet attached, weighs 10 pounds 6
ounces. The barrel is 30 inohes in
length, and made of superior hardened
steel and rifled, and for the first time in
tbe history of the making of small arms
oickle is one of the oomposites of the
barrel. The familiar three-cornered
pieoe of steel belonging to the infantry
military arms of all nations for over 150
years has given way to the knife-blade
form of bayouet. The blades are 12
inohes iu length, one inch wide and
double-edged. The handles are four
inches long, and made of wood and steel.
The weight of the bayonet unsheathed
is three-quarters of a pound.
Tbe magazine is situated on the left
side of the breech and contains five cart
ridges. These lie side by side Bad are
fed laterally into the space behind the
chamber. A bolt emibles"the rifle to be'
used as a single-shot gun or as a repent
ing rille. The Springfield rifle now in
use by the army is of .45 calibre, while
the new Krag-Jorgeuson is of a very
small bore, being but .80 inohes. Tbe
new bullet is one inob in leugth and
made of hardened steel with a thin coat
ing of niokle, while the old-style Spring
field bullet is manufactured from com
mon lead and is only one-half an inoh in
length, and is minus tbe nickle coating.
Tue cartridge contains 37 grains of
smokeless powder. The word "smoke
less" is purely a relative term, for there
is, in reulity, a light, feathery vapor
arising when the gun is discharged, but
which is hardly diBcernable at a dis
tance. The report of this new powder is hut
one-half as great as the old black pow
der. The reasons that impelled tbe
authorities to use the "smokeless" pow
der were two. First, with the old blaok
substauoe the barrel became so foul after
a few rounds of firing that the gun was
very inaourate ; second, that no combi
nation of ingredients would give snlli
cieut force to drive tbe projeotile to the
desired range. Now, in order to insure
to so long and slim a missile steadiness
of flight over suoh enormous ranges, a
more rapid twist in the barrel became
necessary. The barrel has four grooves
.003 inches deep, which represents one
turn in 1-' inches, or two and one-half
complete twists in all of the thirty inohes
of its length. Tbe heat produoed by the
new powder is excessive, as twenty
rounds rapid firing would make the gun
too hot to handle. In other countries
casings are made for these guns when
they are too hot to hold ; and these nre
mada of steel with a space of cold air
between tbe casing and the barrel. Uncle
Sam will use a wooden casing on his new
rifle.
Concerning the new rifle there is one
question unsettled as vet. Does the bul
let with all its power possess the stnn-
uiug effect necessary to disable au oppo
nent at once? Tbe only test that has
been made was by the English infantry
on the Burmese border, and the bullets
lid not prove as effeotive as the old style
45-oaliber. Men were bit two or three
times aud not knooked down to preveut
their fighting. The mechauism is very
intricate, aud for this reason oue would
be led to believe that it was easily gotten
out of order, but Colouol Hall assured
the reporter quite to tbe oontrary. An
other advantage this riHe has over the
Springfield make is the lightness of the
ammunition. A soldier cau easily carry
300 rouuda, whereas the Springfield am
munition's weignt will only allow of the
carrying of 100 rounds. Tbe new belt is
also a novelty, being made of web cloth
and provided with 100 pockets, a pocket
for eaoh cartridge.
The first issue of tbe new arms was
made to the Second and Fourth regiments
of the infantry, whose commanding o th
ee rs, Colouel J. C. Bate aud Colonel
R. Hall, were on tbe board which adopt
ed tbe Krag-Jortfeuseu rifle furtliearmy,
There are now 2000 weapons ready for
distribntion at tbe Springfield arsenal,
which baa been converted into a manu
facturing plaoe for tbe new rifle by means
of absolutely new machinery. These
2000 arms are sufficient to arm three reg
iments of infantry. Soon tbe infantry
will be entirely equipped with tbe Dew
magazine rifle, and it will be placed in
tbe bands of the National Guard as Boon
as possible. During an interview with
Colonel Hall, be said that the Brmy to
day was practicing short-range shooting,
whi'e the armies of all tbe foreign coun
tries are shooting at long range; but now,
since tbe new rifle Is to be used, long-
range shooting will be given more atten
tion, and the sbort-range entirely done
away with. He says: "Why, if we went
to war with Canada, their guns wonld
be entirely useless at a distanoe where
this new rifle is certain death. It is an
improvement on tbe Springfield; a 500
per oent improvement, and undoubtedly
tbe bestgan in the world."
Nothing Strange.
Intelligent people, who realize the
important part of the blood holds in
keeping the body in a normal condition,
find nothing strange in tbe number of
diseases Hood's Sarsaparilla is able to
cure. Ho many troubles result from
impure blood, the best way to treat
them is through the blood. Hood's
Sarsaparilla vitalizes tbe blood.
Knew Glazb Well. Our reporter,
who is also tbe editor and numerous
other personages connected with the
Gazette, met Andy Tillard and Joe
Reotor last Saturday, and the conver
sation turned to the reoent shooting at
Burns. Both knew Glaze in bis young
er days and agreed that be was a dead
shot and a bad man to fool with. This
was down in Folk county. Glaze kept
a saloon and had trouble with a young
man named Whitley. The latter was killed
in the difficulty. His father went hunt'
ing for Glaze and he, too, met the same
fate. Glaze was justifiable, and went
free. Later he oame to Prineville and
kept a saloon. In bis place of business
Chas. Long aud Hank Vaugban bad
their famous duel, emptying their guns
into each other, though neither was
killed at that time, Long meeting bis
fate up in Okanogan county, Wash., less
than a year ago. Vanghan was killed
by a horse in Pendleton not long ago.
Glaze still kept bis residenoe in Crook
county, going out on tbe circuit occa
sionally. Howard was in Heppner
about four years ago, and though a
cripple, was very quarrelsome when
drinking. Parker, the survivor of tbe
affray, is a jock well known in Heppner.
The elder Whitley killed by Glaze was a
brother of Doo Whitley, yery well known
up about Athena and Weston.
Money Spent Economically.
Money economically spent is not al
ways judioiously spent. Why? Simply
because a cheap article often requires
more money spent on it to keep it in
repair than it would oost to purchase
the best. We manufacture nothing but
the best gas and gasoline engines in the
market, and results prove it. Send for

any of the former numbers it value.
Tbe paper this month contains many
new and valuable features. The illus

is introduced by a paper on tbe Friends
Polytechnic Institute at Salem, Oregon.
These papers cannot fail to be of great
value both to the schools bd 1 to tbe
public
There are also several fine articles
by our best writers and the departments
"Current Events,""Satnrday Thoughts,"
"Eduoational News" "The Oracle
Answers, Correspondents," etc, eaoh
oontain much valuable reading for
teachers or parents. The magazine
has about 50 pages of matter, well
printed and arranged. We pronounce
the Western Pedagogue the best educa
tional monthly on the ooast.
Everyone of our readers should have
the paper if they are at all interested

changes in the administration of pension
affairs under the new regime.

S. soldiers, sailors and their heirs, take
steps to make application at once, if

the earliest possible date.

FOR INVENTIONS.
Equal with the interest of those having claims against the government is
that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit of valuable inventions because
of the incompetency or inattention of the attorneys employed to obtain their
patents. Too much care cannot be exercised in employing competent and reli.
able solicitors to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not
entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney.
With the view of protecting inventors from worthless or careless attorneys,
and of seeing that inventions are well protected by valid patents, we have re
tained counsel expert in patent practice, and therefore are prepared to
Obtain Patents in the United States and all Foreign Countries, Conduct In
terferences, Make Special Examinations, Prosecute Rejected Cases,
Register Trade-Marks and Copyrights, Render Opinions as to ,
Scope and Validity of Patents, Prosecute and
Defend Infringement Suits, Etc, Etc.
If you have an invention on hand send a sketch or photograph thereof, to
gether with a brief description of the important features, and you will be at once
advised as to the best course to pursue. Models are seldom necessary. If
others are infringing on your rights, or if you are charged with infringement by
others, submit the matter to us for a reliable OPINION before acting on the
matter.
