Kkyt IH f.n& very hi U'retilj reading in lust week' Issue of our city coSeniporrv. He ii to'd in plulu language ,.mt a eonsuinuiate donkey lie line made of hhinH'lf in the opinion of the editorial writer, mid without an extra flemish of trnmHta lie is blarklistod in the following en tertaining tasl.ion: "His political star bMl," says the West Side, "and lie will ko down to political oblivion as many a man line Rone Kfore him, who ha been swayed and iiitlueneetl ly the very men who oppose! nil election, Aud as Mr. Keyt and the republican party cannot work in harmony together ibey must separate. Mr. Keyt cjhi ft.iy in tlie opulist bund wa'on and bid adieu to hi old republican friends and euj -porters." While wo are no apologiit fl,r Mr. Keyt, it does appear to us that if every republican who voted against Senator I)olpl' re-election U to lie read out of the party there will be eiieli a tumbling into "the populist band wagou" two years hence that our re publican friends need not go to the trouble of putting a ticket in the field. It Ja safe to my that one-half of the republican party of Oregon was oppoeed to the re-election f Mr." Dolph. Whether their reasons for so doing were gocd or bad we shall not stop to inquire, but the fact exists nevertheless. Of course political deficit is alaya humiliating, but Senator Dolph ha!" lieen the bene ficiary of high honors at the hands of Ids party. lie has w&rn the senatorial toga for twelve years, and his eminent abilities have received national recogni tion. Greater men have been content with less honors, aud weaker men have received higher favois. Mr. Dolph made the mistake of getting out of touch with the people whom he represented and of whom he waa simply the servant and not the master, No man is strong enough toridedown public opinion and he who attempts it will be dragged out o sea by the undertow. Tim drain upon the treasury within the lat year for the redemption of legal tender ha been unprecedented in the history of the government , It is claimed that want ot eoulldenc in the ability of the government to redeem it pled1 I" gold ha caused thi great run on the treasury. We Uon t neiieve tun Xuurwl i ik iKMioiTio i lmiiHijm,or, mJ .,. we ,i0!i't believe any other Mvund'lau mall uiallrr.

From 1S7 to Wi the annual redemption of legal tenders did not average more than ".V,0tX),UX). The caV.it of t he government is as good today as it ever was. Indeed, the new 4 per cent bonds of the re-rut loan are now soiling ut a premium of 15 per cent in foreign markets. This fact itself sinks the stale lie of "want of confidence" in the government to pay its obligations in standard money to the bottom of the ocean of dissimula tion and perfidy. No bode lielieve such rot. Not even the gold monometalists themselves believe it. esteemed fellow citizen Ueo. W. Mc Bride, of St. Helens, Columbia county. Mr. McBride was recognized as a pos sible senatorial darkborse by a few w ho stood within the charmed circle of legislative confidence, but his election came like a thunderbolt from a clear sky to the majority of the. people of Oregon. The new senator-elect is a native son of Oregon, and comes of sturdy pioneer stock.' He baa served the people for eight years as secretary of etate, and also Berved one or two terms in the legislature with credit to himself and good satisfaction to his constituents. He is a man of the people and is per sonally quite popular. He bears a clean political record and an untarn ished personal character. He has the reputation of standing outside of machine politics, beeides his early training was in line with the wants and wishes of the Common people. Mr. McBride has fair ability ami will no doubt make a conscientious and in dustrious member of the senate. He ranks equally with Hermann, w hich is no small praise, and he will always stand out boldly for what he believes to be the best interests of Oregon. It is becoming inorj and more impor tant as the country booomes populated and business increases that go-l roads should be established. Good roads are as essential for the farming community as they are for the- accomodation of the business of the city. Them is no coun try in the world in greater need of a sub stantia! road system than the Willam ette valley. Our lone rainy season make good roadbeds a neeessitv. There is no reason why l'olk county could not have splendid roads the year around if letter methods were only adopted in road working. The supply of gravel is abundant at almost any jxiint in the count y.and a few years of judicious put our roads in first-class condition. The innovation should bein with this season's work. Tits panicky effect of the redemption of silver certificates in gold is shown in the enormous amount of Treasury notes redeemed since hS'JO. The treasury sta tistics show that $2)4,000,000 in gold has been paid out under the Silver-Purchase act of 1SO0. The law gives the option of payment in either gold or sil ver to the treasurer, but under a vicious precedent the option is given to the holder of the certificates. It is claimed this was necessary to keep up the parity liotween the two metals. With such a precedent once established it is diflicult and perhaps hazardous to make a -.v , change. It is any wonuer that cautious I'fil.lTIi: A l, IlkTIILIil iJ. I ra a.uvn u I 1 r W jL... SHOE Si At Indpendenef. M II. J. J'Ofclf North "'jmlrlii M.

The new bond issue is now quoted at a premium of 15 per cent. Thin means a net profit to the syndicates of over $9,500,000 at one turn of the financial wheel, and that too at the expense of the government. If the president em ploys ouch reckless financial methods in the transaction of his private busi ness it is difficult to understand how he is rated a millionaire several times over. It is safe to say that Air. Cleveland is not i so hasty in making a private deal as he Tins matter of good streets is some thing that should be of interest to the enterprising citizens of this city. The streets of Independence should be pro perly graded aud well graveled, espe cially all streets that are in public use. There is no bigger advertisement for a town than clean, well graded and solid streets. Independence can; have these at the cost of some labor and a little money. The time to improve is now and the way to improve is to improve. Di-bing the last two days of the legis lature the Statesman made a brilliant fiiiht for Governor Lord's election to the United States senate. The States man pursued a very candid and honor able course all through the bittjr sena torial struggle. It advocated Mr. Dolph ' re-election on the grounds that he was the caucus nominee, but when it clearly saw there was no chance for is in making a public one. ine j eopie ; . . u caine t for t!ie of the United States would have more election of Qregon's chief executive. confidence in trie president it ne would display a little of the "horse sense" in national affairs which he exhibits in his private invetinents.
