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

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

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.
