THE SILVER QUESTION." The leading editorial in yesterday's Oregonian treats of the silver ques tion. Its arguments nro iu favor of tho stopping of silver coinage. That is, ifci statements are intended to show the advisability, the good policy of such stoppage. The lauguago used indicates sincerity of belief, bat t te arguments are fallacious. Take one of its statements for example. It says: Wo hiive now about $220,003,000 of full legal tender silver, m st of which re umius in the treasury, 6ld has been paid ont for it, the silver has been coined and locked up. and the treasury is at the expanse of the transaction. Why does "most of it remain in the treasury"? Because secretary of the treasury Manning, like his Republi can predecessor obeys the mandates of V all street and defies the plain provisions of the law. The secretary of the treasury has the power if he had the patriotism to pay that silver out He prefers to keep it there hop ing lhat'the fact that it is there may be used as au adverse argument ngainst its further coinage. The Shy locks of Wall street are not content with buying the bonds of their gov ernment at 33 cents on the dollar. They see there is a little more in gold than in silver payment and naturally they want that little more. The Oregonian says: "Gold has been paid out for it. The silver has been coined and locked up and tho treasury has been at the expense of the transaction." The editor of the Oregonian should be too smart a man to presume on the suppose I ignorance of his readers iu an effort to throw gold dust iu their eyes The United States government bought that silver that is "locked up" in open market at the market price. Whatever profit is made on its coiu- ! age the United States makes. The director of the mint, iu his last re port (which tho editor of the Oregon inn no doubt has tho same as other newspaper men), says that during the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1833 tho government bought a littlo les3 than 21.2"i9,0:)D standard ounces of silver, which co it in round numbers, S23, 7o0.000. That S23.730.000 worth of silver was coined by the gov ernment into " more than S23. .7)0,039 in silver standard dollars. Now is it not clear that on this little business the government made nearly $3,009,030? "But," tho Oregonian ma-v Sfl'' th,e silver lies idle in the treasury."

A storm signal that Sergeant Griffin hoisted over his offbe yesterday morning attracled the most attention of nnvthinir durintr the dav. It is a red flag with a black square in tho center, and is tho regular cautionary signal displayed in all the signal ser- vice offices of tho United Stales. It was hoisted for the first time iu As- toria yesterda , under orders from SuptGhihsford, of Sau Francisco, who telegraphed rising barometer iu oisiern Oregon and falling nloiiir the coast "We've been used to taking the weather as it comes, aud a little squall from the southeast has always had to us all the charm of tho unexpected, to such an extent that yesterday when that piratical looking signal went up j evcrvbod t wanted to know "what is it?"" "When it wa3 learned that a terrible twonty-five-miles-an-honr wind was sweeping along the coast, and liable to swoop over on us at any moment, we all grew defi int and with a rsck lessness born of experience, said "let her come; wo were here first The wind has blown eighty-five miles an hour by the watch dowu at the cape and Astorians, with an abiding faith f n Providencp, never trembled. "Why should we be concerned over a little insignificint breeze! No, not if twenty lurid fl.igs flapped in the breeze.' The Chinese seemed terribly ex cited. Thev piled out and raced down to the vicinity of where the flag was flying, evidently thinking that the whites were putting p some job on them, aud not till several of the tyees had explained the thing to them did they creep onck into their holes, as indifferent to tho wind, whether it blow high or blow low, a3 anybody else.

Speaking of drinking recalls a story 1 beard the other day about a valuable barrel of braudy which was lately sent from California to Presi dent Cleveland, but which at present icconnts, he has not received. Thi-re lives at San Jose one o' the noted officers of McClellan's F'.aff duriug th- late war. Hi.s naraeisGeu.Htnry I. Na,dee, and he is the man spoken f by Kelley in his brochnre on Mc Jlellan s.s having gotten up the packed council of war for tbo Penin sular campaign. Xaglee has left the irmy and goue to brandy-making. His vineyards are noted on the Pacific coast His brandy is very choice, and he is worth about 3,000, 000. He is a staunch Democrat and a great admirer cf President Cleve land. On the completion of the last campaign he decided to send Cleve land a present of brandy, but seeing in the papers that Cleveland was not receiving gifts he wrote to his friend William Dnrsbeimer of New York, and asked him if he thought he could get a barrel of brandy to Cleveland for him. Dorsheimer replied that he could, and that he should send the brandy to him instanter. Naglee then let it be known that he was sending a present to Cleveland. He prepared to do the thing in style. He bad a barrel irnde of fine oak, beautifully carved and bouud with silver plated hoops. Engraved upon the barrel was an inscription extolling the president elect and saying tB t it was a present from Naglee to Cleveland. Its size was thirty-two gallons. This barrel was filled with the finest of grape brandy, vory old and of a quality worth at least $23 a gallon. When properly boxed Naglee expressed it to D rsheimsr and then as down with his friends and waited a reply. H expected an autograph le ter fromClevdlan I. which he might ang up in his parlor and sh w to bis frieud. Weeks passe I and no letter came. IVIinrhi we.it by and uothing rom either C.eveland or D jrsheimor V few waeks ag a young m in uamel Bell, nfriu'ilof Nigleoand a mug A'ump in Cilioruii politics, stirt:d ast. and as he loft N,ighe asked him to call upoii Cleveland and D irshpimer and ask tho where ibmts oT his choice braudy. It is this yon ng man who tells me tie story He c tiled upon ClttVdlan I at the Whito bmiso five weeks ago, and Cl -veland straight ened up iu asto'iislnnent at his story and then bnrst into 1 inciter, throw ing himself bick iu his chair, and roaring again and again. Ha said ha had n ver hear.1 of the brandy! a,d ho supposed that it had tickled the stomach of D jrsheiraer and bis gas tronomic friends. Yesterday Editor Dorsheimer appeared iu Washington and .Mr. Bell c tiled upon him and asked of him the same question he hid put to tho president. Durdiei-t m-re replied that he had sent tho barrel to Cleveland a few weeks ago. But u braudy in a silver barrel lias been known to enter th- White house during this administration, and the Question now is as to who has it in his possession. WxVihiniton Corr.i Cleveland Leader. lilqnid Gnnpowdcr. One of the sreatest difficulties en- couiitR Pi. in ibs; mannioPtiire ot dm-1 powder is the int.nute admixture of the constituent p.irts, the combustion, of which produces the explosion. Mr. Noidenfelt Ii.ih advanced a very ingenious and novel ide.i. for which he has applied fo letters patent. He purposes, instead of grinding together the primary substances, sulphur, charcoal, and saltpeter, in their solid state, to employ the tol lowing process instead: Sulphur in the proper pro portion, is put in solution as sulphate of caibon; tbis is mixed with car bonaceous matter, which in this case is not charcoal, but cotton or cellu los2 fiber, ground to an impalpable powder Finally, a saturated solu tion of saltpeter is added to this mixt ure in the required proportion. There remains now nothing to be done except to evaporate under d!s tmbed crystallizat.on. or, in vacua, to obtain "a powder the elements of which, according to the statements of the inventor, are thoroughly mixed, and therefore in condition to furnish the maximum useful effect. A'most a liquid gunpowder is thus obtained.
