The people of this city take too much pride In our public school system to let a matter of such grave consequence pass without a rigid Inquiry and examination. The Asioriai has no disposition to prejudge Mr. Jack son, and until the school directors shall have dons their duty in the premises further comment will be withheld con cerning both the particular matter here referred to, and the general charge of in subordination about which so much has been said recently. WHAT IS MONEY? A Simple Explanation of Some of Coin's 'Errors and Fallacies. In all their "whereases" and resolutions ICie free sliver extremists carefully Ig nore a:i reference to (he labor standard, When (wheat declined because of an over supply they Immediately charged It to "gold," but have had nothing to say . about the advance in wheat this spring nor of the important fact that other farm products average higher this year on the farm than they did about the time that "terrible crime" was committed in 1873, They charge to the 'Appreciation of gold" the cutting down of the cost of trans portation from the farm to the consumer nealf since 1873, made possible by the building of better tracks, larger cars, ana engines mat save enormously in fuel per ton of produce carried. They make no allusion to the well-known fact that the unit of human labor now pro duces far more Iron, doth, and other . manufactured material than In 1S73, and tht while that unit of labor is better compensated the cheapening In cost Inures to the benefit of the consumers, among whom are the working producers them selves. In offering their quack panacea of "free coinage at 18 to 1," the silver extremists always conceal from the peo ple (who listen to them the fact that their remedy la a defeasing of the unit of payment. They talk about restorloa tne ratio to the exact term of equality wnicn existed a hundred years ago, when as a matter of fact they want something radically different. For. the ratio that existed from 1793 to I8M was based upon wnat was supposed to be the ratio commercial values of she bullion contain- in rae gold and silver coins. There wue no other thought in the minds of our grandfathers than that of making he dollar in gold Intrinsically equal in vsuue to the dollar of silver. But this wet the free silver extremists mullsltly, willfully and fraudulently omit to take cognisance of. What they are demanding is not he ratio of value, of actual our chasing power, of gold to silver, at the time they refer back to, but a ratio of weight In iwhich the purchasing power is so completely Ignored tb.it it would rate saver at twice the value attached to It In comparison with gold by the com won consent of merchants and financiers all over the world. iweraay s uregontan contains a long and Interesting article on the dairy In terests of Clatsop county, contributed by Mr. H. B. Luse, the state dairy and food commissioner. The article Is a summary of that gentleman's recent offi cial Investigations In this locality, and Is a surprising showing, both as to the ex tent of Uie dairy business and the won derful adaptation of our soil and dlmttte for fcutter and cheese making. Mr. Lace gives (he names and location of the prominent dairymen In the vicinity of Astoria, and pays a high compliment to the purity of their product and their enterprise in introducing the. latest me chanical and scientific appliances In the srt of butter making. From- v reading of Mr. Luce's article one would think that Astoria Is fortunately situuted In respect to her supply of first-class home made butter, and that from the quantity of the pure and wholesome article pro duced within a radius of five or six miles from the city, no one living here need look elsewhere either on account of price J or quality. -for all that could b reuson ably consumed of that luscious comestl We. It may astonish Mr. Luce, and his Oregonlaa readers, to know that more than one-half the butter handled by As toria's enterprising merchants is brought here by sttumer from San Francisco, and thai U is sold for a higher price than people of the most fastidious taste pay for the superior Clatjop couuty product In the Portland markets. The farmers of Clatsop county are Indebted to Mr. Lucj for one of the best advertisements of the county's resources ever published, and we Chicago Tribune. "Good moral nir. Mr. Donor" "Good morning, sir. Whait rarv i An. t.-, you x "I have oaCled, Mr. DoCdar. to ask If VAll win lavor the readers of tha Ynnn ihibikot mva your views on th cur rency question.

What do you mean by the term "Bound cur. rency? "You are starting at the bottom, are you not? I do not nrofees to be able to give you off-hand an onitiire (treatise on political economy, but It is not dllHcult to find in the books an absolutely cor. reot definition of money. I think your iiuwfuiuii is perunentA for there is no doubt but that the cloudiness in the minds of a great many concerning these financial matters arises from loose or In accurate ideas as to the true character of money. Som of our laws and court decisions have had a tendency to create and contlrm erroneous impressions rather than to dispel them. Consider the green backs, for Instance. I do not critlc.se their original issue. The law authorizing thera was a war measure end deemed neeesBory for the safety of the nation. To uphoitf them on any other ground de oelves the public as to their true char acter. They were a foroed loan, and no legislaltlon can make them anything else than a debt notes payable on demand. It Cs not iposslble by law to transmute warehouse receipts Unit whetet, nor can greenbacks be mode money, though they are capable. Just like a check, of per forming? some of, hut not all, tine func tions of money. Money Is the commodity whkOi Is selected as the measure of value of ell other commodities. It mudt itself possess value. Theoretically anything which has value tmtoy serve as money, but In- practice It Is found that certain sub stances) are much better adapted to the purpose than others. The money com modity should possess the following properties: Indestructibility, divisibility, uniformity of quality, imu.Mcob.ltty, and also general diffusion in muture so that no particular community shall have a monopoly In Its production. No other substanwes possess so many at these properties end in such high degree as the so-called precious metals, gold and stiver. They have become money by a process of natural seieotCon through the, opera tions of commerce. A government can not make money any more than it can make oorm It has performed Its full functions in regard to money when- It -designates the substance to be used as money ami provides a ready method for determining quantity and qtralUy." What do you understand by the term blmettalUsm?" 'Bimetallism means the use of two metals as the standard of value. Gold and olver are the two metals which are brought to mind by the -word nt present. True bimetallism consists of the coinage of the two at their ratio In the market. Thus, if gold la worth twenty times an equal we-lght of silver, then we are on a bimeraKtc bf-ss only -when- the silver coin of a given face value weighs twenty times as much as the gold coin of the same face value. When the market ratio la 30 to 1, if we coin at the ratio of IS to we practically demonetise gold and adevt a monometallic silver standard. If we coin ait 40 to 1 m demonetise silver and place ourselves on the gold hasis. Such will he the result Independently of any and all statutes." "Arte you In favor of timeta!Ksm, Mr. DolCarr- "I am In favor of a bimetallic standard (!) If we can ascertain what Is tha true niarkek ratio between gold and sil ver, or what will be the ratio when silver Is a limited to free coinage; C-) if such ratio can be kept wrahengvd." "In case of a monometallic standard you have any preference for gold rather than silver?" "I cannot say that I hava The prime -eeserttlal of money Is that It shall be un ohangvobie In value, or if Ct changes that it shall change at the same rate as the average of all other commodities, which mita that silver was then undervalued as legal tender dullara, so that we were actually on a g-jfld basis. Just In the same manner that we would be on a free stiver basis tomorrow it free coinage at 16 to 1 were adopted. (2) He alleges that gold has appreciated In Value simply because there -haa betn a fall in some prices since the lntlated greenback period before re Bumption, and he ignores .the cheapening wnicn has resulted from labor-saving In ventions and discoveries and improve- mems in machinery during the last two decades, whtch is dishonest.

While I was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rives June I tlon, she was brought down with Pneumonia, succeeding La Grippe. Ter rible paroxysms of coughing wculd last hours with little interruption and it seemed as If she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King's New Discovery; It was quick in its work, and satisfactory in its re sults." Trial bottles free at Chas, Rogers' Drug Store.

' (From the San Francisco Argonaut.) "In the heart of the great desert of tne Colorado which the Southern Pa clflo road traverses there is an oasis called Indlo, which, In our opinion, It tne sanitarium of the earth.
