Thit paper hat the largest Circulation on the Columbia river. ' ' An honett and complete telegraphic re port givei a newspaper a right and title to the name. The newt of the world, freth every morning at your breakfast table, U what you can find, in the Aitorian. It holdi the exclusive telegraphic franchise, and ill service it improving daily. The Portland Dispatch Is really con. cerned about the silver question, and as the days fly along without a sign of action from either Mr. Cleveland or John Q. Carlisle, it loses Itself In spasmodic advice to them both as to what they ought to do, when they ought to do It, and how It ought to be dona While the desire to set these two stray lambs In the right path Is very laudable on the part of the Dis patch, we cannot help thinking that It Is a most prodigal waste of printers' Ink. Cleveland and Carlisle have dlBcov ered that the situation of the country Is not so calamitous and desperate as the gentlemen composing the political party of which they are members have been In the habit of proclaiming. There was no flurry on account of the change from one party In power to another, and the extraordinary circumstances of the change. But, Just as soon as It was discovered that the president and secretary of the treasury knew better than to regard the solemn pledges of the Chicago platform, con fidence was restored. The conserva tive action of the president In not call ing congress, and going to work with the rip saw of crank reform, gave the public comfort. Of course the "solemn pledgee" are a solemn fraud; but Cleveland and Carlisle do not say so; they merely prove it by their acts. They drop the platform and go to business. This Is sensible. The national bonks have again made known their value to the country and to the government. The treasury Is all right. If Cleveland will Buppress the silver fanatics among his party, the re public will not suffer. The key to the position, with all due deference to the feelings of the Dispatch, Is In kicking aside the Chicago platform. With this proviso the treasury is sound and the country safe. The Oregonlan, while dealing in a generous, open handed manner with the new president, Is at sea, Just as much as any of Its democratlo contem poraries on the silver question. It first Bets up a ficticious statement con cerning the true meaning of the stiver purchase law, and then proceeds to break down, with a series of Incontro vertible arguments, the absurd hypoth esis that It has Itself created. It seems to us that the principle of the whole question Ilea in the cheap nesa of money. The better the public credit and the higher the money stand ard, the cheaper this commodity will be. Capital seeks not so much high In terest, as security and long, steady In vestment. A shrewd business man In charge of the United States, and work ing Its finance as a. farm, could make the price of money all over the coun- For the Next Thirty Days, To racefc imperative demands, I will offer at such low prices on install ments, with easy payments, that try, two per cent, and perhaps a small fraction les. It Js the disturbance of ! credit, and th crusading for the deg radation of currency that makes Inter cut rates hlRh. It Is rural politics and not the policy of bankers, as the Oro gonlan tries to make It appear, that does It. Here Is some poetry Illustrating what we said the other day about the birth of St. Patrick. As U was written by one of the most rollicking Irishmen that ever lived, no native of the Em erald Isle, not even those Imitation Celts who write letters to newspapers, will take objection to It: On the Eighth day of March It was, some people say, That St. Patrick at midnight, he first ' saw the day; While others declared 'twas the Ninth he was born, For mistakes will occur in a hurry and shock, And some blamed the baby -and some ' blamed the clock- Till with all their cross-questions sure no one could know If the child was too faBt or the clock was too slow. Now the first faction fight In owld Ire land, they say, Was all on account of St. Patrick's ' birthday; Some fought for the eighth for the ninth v more would die, And who wouldn't see right, sure they ' blackened his eye! At last, both the factions so positive grew, That each kept a birthday, so Pat then ! had two, Till Father Mulcahy, who show'd them their sine, Said: "No one could have two birth days, but a twins." Says he: "Boys, don't be flghtln' for eight or for nine, Don't be always dlvldln' but some times combine; Combine eight with nine, and seventeen Is the mark, So let It be his birthday." "Amen," says the clerk. "If he wasn't a twins, sure our history will ishow That, at least, he's worth any two saints that we know!" Then they all got blind dhrunk which complated their bllfw. And we keep up the practice from that day to this. "To better enable a proper classifica tion of the mineral exhibit and for the distribution of Information concerning Oregon's mineral wealth among inter ested and Inquiring visitors at the world's fair Commissioner Ayers, of the mining department of the Oregon world's fair commission, as he gathers his mineral specimens, Is at the same time securing complete data of Oregon mines and minerals. He Is securing also an accurate and proper descrip tion of each specimen that will be sent to the fair, together with full details of the mine from which it was taken, and complete Information as to ledges, formations, etc. This Information, never before collated, will prove of Im mense benefit to the mining Interests of the state. Salem Capitol Journal. The Oregonlan Jubilates to the extent of a column over the feat of the ship Reaper In getting up to Portland In fourteen hours, and attempts to prove from this fact that the 25-foot channel Is not a myth but an admirable reality. We could call the attention of our contemporary to the fact that the Reaper was detained here for ten days waiting for the full moon tides before It was possible for her to attempt the passage, and that the ship Indiana, which left Astoria last week, managed to moke the "Port" of Portland after a six days' passage. Facts are stub born things. The 25-foot channel Is also a stubborn thing, and It Isn't a fact either. We publish this morning our third series of questions for school pupils. Once more we Invite full and free com petition, and only ask that the contest ants use their own brains as much as possible, and that they shall not copy their answers off one another. We hope to see another brisk and lively struggle for the prise. C. R. F. P. TJ. NOTICE.
