The bunk of England is short of gold,
and even its present supply is ebbing
away. This is undoubtedly due to the
iact that England is coining Bland dol
lars. To those ignorant western repud
iators who may object that England is not
coining Bland dollars it is sufficient to
ite tiie well-known fact that nothing eke
ran cause an exportation of gold.
The republican, democratic and prohi
bition conventions for Multnomah county
have all declared in favor of a free bridge

question here, but it will be elected.

A REMXSISCESCE.
Some time along in the fifties or sixties
thr"f or fnnrsisti'rs named Pennoyer were
greatly admired actresses in the Missis
sippi valley. Tbe youngest Mifs Kate
Pennoyer was the special darling of "the
boys." One niht after a ierforniance iu
the classic -city of Cairo. Illinois, titeen
thttsiastic admirers of Mis Kate gathered
iu fon-e for a serenade and proceeiliag to
the house in which they thought site re
sided made night vocal with verse after
vere of a topical soug the refrain of which
was "Ah Charming Kate Pennoywr." It
so hapjtens that the btws were off their
base and at length tlie portly burgher tin
der whose window they were endanger
ing their "bronical -hnles" by howling
in tlte night air lilted his window and in
a basso proiundo which Karl Farraes
might well envy rwared out to the identi
cal tnne "the boys" were murdering,
"Yoar eharmins Kate Pennoyer
Live jnt four uareji lielow here."
This let the boys out and slowly forming
themselves invo a hollow square they
"scooted."
History rejieats itself, and who knows
but that when ait enthusiastic crow d of
the unterrified supposing tliat Sylvester
is elected governor shall surround tlie
state house and protHetl to sing Oh
Charming Gov. Pennoyer" tlie staunch
old granger of Washington will lift his
window and reply
"There aim bo Gov. Pennoyer
lie sixty mites below here"
At Portland, for instance, engaged in the
atiw mill business. This is about tlie way
it wjll pan out.
A UIMIKU) THOl SASIl.
Tlie appropriation for Yaquina bay
should and can be increased in the senate
iroui f-SO.000 to $100,000. Senator J. X.
Dolph is a rueruber of the senate commit
tee on commerce, and lie has the power
to increase this allowance, if lie has the
disposition to do it. He should exert his
influence as a member of that committee,
and as a seuatur from Oregon, in that di
rection. The whole of Willamette valley
is interested in this work. Whatever ben
efit the improvement of die harbor at Ya
quina bay ia derived by that section is de
rived in proportion by the Willamette
valley, in giving us an outlet to the sea,
connecting ns closely with the markets of
the world, furnishing competition in the
carrying trade of our products. Twenty
thousand dollars is a email sum in the
treasury of the United States, but it would
materially help this section if put upon
the improvement o: the harbor at Ya
quina bay. More than this, if a safe har
bor is provided there, it will the more
surely make that the terminus of some
transcontinental line of railway. The en
terprise and the capital of those great
systems that form networks of lines in the
rates east of u will not stop short of a
jioint as far west as fhey can find land to
lay ties on. They are all coming, sure,
and Y'aquina bay should have one of
them. Let our representatives see to it
that she is able to offer some extra in
ducements to such an enterprise.
HOW THEY WILL VIEW IT.
Your Oregon granger is a conservative
being. He has possessed his soul and his
broad acres in patience for lo! these many
years. He is not avid of change or fond
of rows, ructions, rumpuses, and rioting.
He is intensely American in his instincts
.and ways, manners and habits of thought
and action. He keeps his weather eye
open on his barns, stables, granaries and
hen roosts. He has viewed with well
founded and unconcealed appreliension
the recent endeavors of Baker, Cronin,
Cradlebaugh, et id hoc omne genus, to
stir up the rabble to mutiny, and don't
go a cent on them or their associates in
muss making. He has not forgotten that
Sy!. Pennoyer has stood in with these fel
lows irom the first, and the cotis-juence
is that after taking a human observation
of the case as it stands he will most likely
regard the nomination of the usurping
chairman of a recent meeting in Portland
as the preliminary step to an orassized
raid on his hen roosts, and the result will
be that Pennoyer and his ticket will lie
literally snowed under in June. Such is
the outiook and such if we are not greatly
mistaken will be the outcome.
NOT A CA.NIMIIATE.
A short time a-jo the Statksm.is men
tioned a rumor to the effect that Presi
dent L. J. Powell of the Washington Uni
versity was a candidate cirthe office of
Mayor of Seattle. Sunday, The Star o;
the above named city under date oi the
2nd inst. puts the kibh or. the said ru
mor as follows, to wit :
Last Smulav the Star had the follow
ing: "It is whispered that Prof. Powell U
iu training for the mayoralty." The pr
lessor with the other five thousand read
ers of tniri paper, read the item above
quoted, and at once hastened to this cilice
to say that he had no idea of running fr
mayor that, not to put too fine a jir:t
U!jn it, no living man conld run fast
enough to give him the office. He never,
in his wildest dreams, had thought of
such a thing. His whole time, energy,
and intellect was so engrossed in building
up the cniversity, which he fervently
hoped would become not only the leading
edu-ationa! institution of Western Wash
ington, but the entire territory. He
hoped the Star would make the correc
tion and relieve him from the embarrass
ment caused by the original statement.
Is Lane county the republican ticket,
recently nominated, stands a very fair
show of an election, so we learn. The
ticket is a good one, and deserves the sup- ;
ort of the good people of that county.
T
THE RICHT M AY.
Slander is not argument. Vituperation
and abuse are poor weapons to fight jolit
ieal battles with. If you attack the en
emy with such weapons as these you are
liable to injure yourown cause more than
theirs by creating sympathy. IV aggres
sive, but not abusive. Stand tip and
fight your battles manfully, but do not
stab an enemy in the back. By a square
and honorable fight, by using fair means
and reasonable argument, w-,- will com
mand the respect of the enemy, and may
win some of the opposing forces into our
iwlitical camp, for those that love our
fair methods may be convinced that ours
is the best company. You cannot compel
a man by force to do this or that, it fee
does not want to do it ; but you can con
vince him by reasonable arguments. You
cannot rule with a club. Men will not lie
driven.
Let us make a fair and honorable fight,
devoid of the usual mud-slinging of poli
tics. Vi'e know we are fighting for a just
cause, that it is for the good oi the people
that our ticket be victorious, so let our
methods lie fair, honorable, open and
above-board, and tlte victory that awaits
us will be a more glorious one for the
clean fight we sliall have made. Xot re
laxing you front your labors, republicans,
but "remembering that you are gentle
men," is what we mean.
THE RIGHT TO LAHOlt.
What Lincoln demanded for the negroes
held as slaves, "the right to lalior, and
enjoy the fruit6of their labor,'' is the in
alienable right of all free men. It is in
dispensible to that right to "life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness'' which the
immortal declaration of indejiendence as
serted "all men" to lie endowed with by
their creator. The right is unwarrant
ably restricted when an employer oi lalior
discharges, or refuses to employ, men who
belong to a certain organization, whether
of religion, politics or trades. Lalior has
a right to organize in oU'dionee to the
"first law of nature" self-preservation.
But this righj does not include the right
to say that all laborers must join the or
ganization, or be denied the right to
work. Such a position encroaches upon
the fundamental rights of the individual.
An employer may find that it is for his
interest to deal with an organized body of
workmen. It often tends to uniformity
in tlie rate of wages, to stability and effic
iency in the force, ar.d imposes a whole
some restraint uiion individuals who
need it. But where this mutual agree
ment does not exist, the right of men to
work, or to hire labor, upon terms satis
factory to loth, is inherent, and must be
protected in a country that wishes to lie
considered as free and covemed bv law.
MORE UEAMIS.
Tiie principal product of this country
seems to lie strikes. Everybody strikes.
Tlie mania extends from the highest to
tiie lowest ranks, an I permeates the en
tire social system. If laborers, do not
quit raising strikes, pretty soon there will
not be enough work left in the country to
keep them from starving todeath. There
is bound to is? a reaction, and labor will
not be beueiiteJ, fur capital will not be
able to pay the wagesdemanded. Wages
will Vie lower for the insane and unreason
able demands for higher wages. Any la
borer with the sense of au oyster should
see this will lie the inevitable result.
The more strikes, and boycotts, and up
risings of this kind, the more tramps and
poverty and wretchedness and starvation,
the more hollow cheeked women, and
ragged children, the less home happiness,
the lte bread. Lalor and capital must
go hand in hand together. Tlie one can
not afford to antagonize the other. Tlie
wider tiie breach the worse it is for "nofli.
At times either labor or capital is liable
to lie unreasonable, but rasi: measures
avail nothing. The rule or ruin jiolicy
will not work. There must ! arbitra
tion and concessions. more reason and less
strikes, more liberality and less fanatical
and hasty actions. Labor must not pre
sume tiiat it can dictate, nor capital must
not think that it can bnilv or coerce.

THE STATE TICKET.
The republican state ticket, ail in all, is
a strong one. It was probably a mistake
to nominate Col. Cornelius instead of P.
P. Thompson, not that Cornelius w ill not
make as good a governor as Thompson
would, but that Thomson's nomination
would hat satisfied that prince of kickers,
Harvey W. Scott, who would now like to
see the ticket defeated, to verily his pre
dictions that Mitchell's election would de
feat the party. But there is. a strong
probability that his predictions will prove
that he was a false prophet, for the ticket
stands a very fair show of an election.
People who read and think will not be
led by the dyspeptic grunts of a disap
pointed malcontent like Scott, or at least
the number of those that will permit
themselves lo be led w ill most likely be
so small that it will not make its influence
felt in the general result.
The platform adopted by the conven
tion is a good one, not differing material
ly from former platforms of the iwrty,
except that it favors the submission of
the question of a constitutional amend
ment to the jieople, which has not pre
sented itself before, and which resolution
was passed first by a republican legisla
ture. Although the time has come when ar
ty lines will not lie drawn so closely as in
the past, still the party of Lincoln, of
Grunt, of Garfield, is not ready in thin
state to turn the reins of government over
to tlie opposition, and it will not lie terri
fied by the dust kicked up by a few mal
contents ; but will be more determined,
consequently more certain of success, than
ever liefore. Republicans, the enemy
are ujion us. I'p and at them !
IHNGEU HERMANN".
The republican Btate convention has
shown its appreciation for ability and in
dustry in the renom'mation of Binger
Hermann for Congress. Personally Mr.
Hermann bus not sought the Humiliation.
He has remained faithfully at his iost of
duty, looking diligently after the interests
of the state he has the honor to represent ;
but the office has sought the man. His
high sense of the responsibility of public
office as shown in the performance of its
functions, has marked him as the most
suitable person for the position. It does
credit to tiie convention that the nominn-
tion was made by acclamation, showing
that the feeling of appreciation for faith
ful jierformance of duty was unanimous.
Xow we wish to reiterate ail tiie words
of praise we wrote some days since con
cerning Mr. Hermann. He is truly one
of God's noblemen, possessed of all the
qualities and qualifications that go to
make up u gentleman and a scholar, a
man among men ; in his high station, he
does not fuel himself it'iove the recogni
tion of the poorest day laliorer. lie is
truly a man of the jieople, and Lis elet-
tion should be as unanimous as his notn -
ination bv the convention. Tiie state
cannot find a better servant, und the peo
ple cannot find a better friend.

McElroy has gained favor with the peo

and incessantly for the advancement of

has many warm personal friends among

oril SATURDAY NIGHT.
Knrroit Statesman. Last Saturday
night 1 bloomed forth as a kicker, and de
clared my intention to continue in that
line. Now I come to reaffirm and reas
sure nil my political destroyers that I am
after their scalps, that I am hot on their
trails, and I'll bring all my influence to
work nguinst them. I'm onto a new
scheme. I'm going to play my new role
for all there is in it. Oh, I'm a terror, 1
um ! 1 can eternally ruin any candidate
that I want to, that's what I cun do, and
don't you forget it. I've got influence, 1
tell you! Xow any body that don't want
to lie mined had better come around and
stHi me, liefore I get my ruin machine in
to operation. If they talk just right, nnd
are "unto snuff," may lie they cun keep
I me from ruining them ; but I've got to
live now do yon catch on? But there is
a limit, and I'm getting impatient to sail
in and comme-ice business. Candidates,
do you hear'.' I'm getting impatient.
The die is cast, too" will soonl up, and
if you don't call auxind to tiie captain's
office and see me, you may expect to lie
left so far liehind that you will not even
lie iu hearing distance of success. I'm a
host within myself when I get started,
you tetter lielieve, and it is to their inter
ests to not let me get started, I can tell
you! But I'm going to start right off if
thev don't see me. What's the use of be
ing a kicker for fun? I may not have
much self-respect or honor left when 1
get through with tins kicking job, but I
will Imve a big stock of revenge and sat
isfaction, and may lie iu a better condi
tion to pay off old scores. Iki you twig?

ant until he tried to lift the lied up t put
his overcoat under it, when she woke up.
He could not face her, and be thought ii
' h. turned his back she'd not see that he
was intoxicated. So iu' turned his back
suddenly and ".ii!"il,y to her, und was

She looked at him n long while, and then

IS THE rilEMIiENT A M'lUITI Vl.lsf?
It is well known thitt Mr. Cleveland iH
U fatalist ami believes ill u guiding star.
It is now said that ho ulso believes in the
guidance of spirits, and that he frequently
consults a medium as to what course ho
shall pursue when he is in doubt. It is
Raid that w hen he was Sheriff of Buffalo
he went to a medium once for sport, und
was told by her that he would one day In'
governor of New York and afterward
president of the United States.
Tbe fact 'but this prophecy was so ac
curately fulfilled has given the president
iiermanent faith in mediums, und it is
said that a Mrs. Sawyer, quite a notorious
dealer in spirits, is in the habit of going
to the president and giving him advice.
She has told him, it isclaiined, t hut he
will be reelected if he lives to serve out
the end of his term, and it is also claimed
that she has told him that he will not die
from lilness. These predictions ure said
to have made a great impression upon
the president's mind, und account ior the
extraordinary euro which tbe president
exercises to avoid accidents. I was in
formed the other day that the reason he
did not go to Vice-President Hendricks
funeral was that this medium advised him
not to do so for fear he might lie injured
on the wav.

A meeting of the institution of naval
architects was recently held in Inidon.
It was attended by many of the leading;
naval constructors of Great Britain. I Hie
oi the most important subjects discussed
was the iqieed of war vessels. Admiral
Sir Astley Cooier Key said that during
the last six yearn it hud been the purpose
of the British naval authorities to make
their ironclads faster by one .knot un hour
than like vessels of uny other nation; and
tbe weight of opinion wusuguinst making;
any sacrifice in speed for the nuke of oth
er qualities. "
The New York Suti thinks this is welt
worthy of attention on the part of those
charged with the duty of constructing a
new navy for the United States. A high
rate of speed is insisted upon by the
greatest naval power in the world. Slmcd
we not follow tlie example of England n
this respect? Instead of building slow
tubs, ought we not to have war vessels),
even if their numlicr In-few, which can
overtake uny o'her vessels afloat?
The possession by Italy of u few armor
ed vessels which are faster than any
English ironclads seems really to excite
some disquietude in England, and we mat
he sure the British fleet will soon have
similar ships of equal or greater sp.-ed.
If superiority in speed is deemed so im
portant in a great navy, can it safely lie
disregarded in building a small one"
