Of all the time-worn fallacies there Is none more venerable or vulnerable than tho omnipresent attempt to create wealth or pay debts by legislation. The alchemists of old, who sought to turn other metals into gold, never paused to reflect, says a distinguished author ity, that success In their efforts would make gold no more valuable than the Wer metals thus subject to their power. The souse of commercial honor from citizen up to the government which forbids the repudiation of one's Just obligations, is the distinguishing fea ture of our present civilization. The free coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen sliver dollars to one gold dollar of present weight and fineness, . means a dollar commercially worth his than 50 cents, but which by the flut of the government Is made to pass for 100 cents. 1 It means that the slgnorage, or ap parent coinage profit 1. e., tho differ ence between the cost of the silver bul lion In open market and the face value of the money into which It Is coined shall hereafter inure to the benefit of individuals and and not to the gov eminent. It means that an Individual may take $100 worth of silver bullion to tho mint and, coinage free, obtain silver dollars with which to pay $200 worth of debt, and would thuB mean the repudiation of fifty per cent of cxlstlne'lndobtedrioBa. , The saRaelous Instinct of trade would correct this wrong as to future con tracts by doubling tho price of com modities, and free coinage would thus mean an Inflation of prices without In crease of values. It means the JG00, OJO.000 of gold now In circulation would go to a premium, wouiu cease 10 cir culate as money, and would become , commodity simply, whether coined oi uncoined. Tho free coinage of sliver means a contraction of our currency eijual to the amount of gold which would cease to circulate as mom y. It means a gen eral unmttllng of values, tho demor alization of business, and a great In justice to present creditors. Just what tho effect would bo upon business Interests for each 'business to have one-halt of Its bills receivable virtually repudiated, Is a matter of speculation; and there Is every reason to believe tho good seiieo and honesty of the country will forever leave It to the realms of speculation, Those who hold for the government control of railroads and other great enterprises, and figure out uu economy therefrom, says an cxolmnge, have a hard mil lo crook lu our experience In building war-ships. The navy-yards of the United States ro ut least us well organised and mullH'ed as we could expect any other bramdi of fed oral Industry to be. On the other hand the business of building war vessels is a practical monopoly in this country, only a few firms belnff competent to even bid for tho Job, and those being aide to olmcst set their own figure It was In re'.lunoH upon such consider ations thut the system of government construction was advocated. Now a Cdinparl-ion 1s been published of the actual cost of the cruisers Cincinnati and Raleigh., as tU 1V the govern nii-i.t, and tbe price for whU-h con tractors offered to do the work. Leav ing out of account the fact that It took five years for the government to get through with a Jib that private limit i-iu'd have finished In two, the staled r,,i t of ti Cincinnati, built at the i! vi,,k!yn navy-yard, was l,RS6,01i.:4, wi'i.e the great firm of the Cramps ,,(. ,,. to b.ilM It f"r l.:jS.-4. The liRi-U'i, built ' tlw Norfolk navy j : l, .-, nt J'.T. MH.H which Is fS,. .' T i than toe priai eatimattt. j.. ;. . ! .; Vy rn nwlndle In the fraud In tho bids. This enormous dif ference in cost is just about the per centage of excess which the people have to pay on all undertakings conducted by government agencies, over what the Fame work would amount to if entrust ed to private enterprise. Viewing the senatorial contest inde pendent of all personal or political pre judice, and solely from the standpoint of Oregon's good, and especially that of' Astoria and Clatsop county, there exists one of the strongest reasons why Senator Dolpfti should be returned to Washington, and In preference to amy other man who has been or could bo brought before tbe legislature. He Is one of the most powerful and lnflu entlal members of the senate river and harbor committee his usefulness to the state In which connection has been" so abundantly and substantially attested that It can not be questioned. To elect a new man to the senate must deprive Oregon of Its representative on thb committee, the moBt important, so far as the interests of tho Northwesf is concerned, on the whole senate calen dar. It so happens, too, that Mr. Her' inamn is also a member of the corres ponding house committee, and to trans fer him to the sonata will be worse thai a failure to re-elect Mr. Dolph, since the state would thus lose the unusual advantage of two members of the Joint committee, and he left without any member at all on either committee Certainly Mr. Fulton's friends do not wish to create the suspicion that that gentleman talks one way for publi cation and at the same time privately encourages and advises them to act contrary to his public declarations. Wo reproduce an Interview with Mr. Ful ton published In yesterday's Oregon Ian, 111 which he again, and for the third time, says through tho medium of newspaper, that hp Is out of the race for senator, and yields like every lie' nntillnaii should, to tile decree of the caucus, and yet his friends were clr julatlng another "petition" to the Clat sop representatives on yesterday, re questing them to continue their op position to tho caucus nominee, and the signatures of Democrats and Re publicans Wire Indiscriminately asked to this petition, on the ground that c fight somewhere and of some sort was being made upon Mr. Fulton. It is a strong and somewhat pathetic testimonial of Bunator. Dolph's public service that tho Nicaragua Canal Bill to which he hns devoted so many yearB of faithful effort, Should pass the sen ate whllo he Is engaged at home In the struggle of his life for recognition from some of the very people most to be benefited by that measure. The state of Washington Is also yet in tho throes of a violent senatorial conflict, but the following from yester day's roBt-Intolllgencer shows what lo there considered the Republican meth od of settling Hueh disputes: What then is the plain duty of the Republican majority, of the party Ir uoworT There can bo but one answer Call a caucus of the party; continue It In session until a choice Is made.

On a dark, glor'-y night, when the tide is ebbing fnst and the hardy fisherman finds it almost im possible to handle his net, has he ever stopped to think, should it become caught on a snag, what brand of twine would stand the greatest strain? Did he ever ask his brother fishermen what sort 01 twine they used? If so in nine eases out often, if they be successful fishermen, the answer has been "MARSHALL'S TWINE."
