this bar is long and tortuous, shifts from

The Silver Bill.
Senator Dolph Is justly olulcd at the
support, tlio agreement of tlio Confer
enco Commitleo on tlio Silver Illlljls re
ceiving from republican senators, and it
Is probablo that the measuriTtbatl boily
will roport will bceomo a law.i The
Call Bays: 'It docs not provido for
freo coinago, but It provides a mnrkot
for ull the silvor produced in tills' coun
try. It requires tbo Mint to buy, at Ibo
market price in gold, 4,500,000 ounces
por month, or 51,000,000 ounces per
year. It isdifllcult to stale accurately
the domostlc product of silver; brJlh tbo
Mint reports and other statistical au
thorities vary widely, but it trjay be
said willi safely that if tbo .Unilcd
Slates ptodtico over that quantity of
sliver, the excess is small, and,' in an
avorago of years, unless new silver
mines nro opened, the product will
rattier full short of 51,000,000 ounces
than exceed that quantity. Tliujy 'it
may lie slated roundly that tbo new bill
provides for the utilir.it ion of nH'tho sil
ver produced In the country for curren
cy purposes, and contemplates imports
of silver for iipo in tlic arts from .Mexico
llolivia and Europe. Tlio United States
will become importers instead of, oxpor
leis of silver, and their siirplusVhicb
has for many years supplied thelndian
and Chinese demand for silver, will
cruFO lo figure in Hie exchangers India
and China will have lo get their silver
from oilier sources; nud wlicn they try
lo boy in tlio silver producing countries
of Mexico nnd South America, tlley will
bo met by a competing demand from
this country for silver foi uso' in tlio
arts. The calculation U that this will
enhancu the gold value of gUverarid Ibo
calculation is sound. Tlio bill, if it be
comes a law, will add largely to Iff e. pro
Ills of silver miners on tbo Comstoqk, in
Colorado and elsewhere. fs
Citizens of stales which do riot" pro
duce silver are expected to acqtilcji;o In
this arrangement becauso llio ImJ con-lompl-ttcs
new issues of paperjnioney.
For tbo sliver bomrht by the Mint, tbo
Treasury will issue legal lender -'notes,
and this will constitutive an increased
currency to the amount of nbout Ally
millions n year. Hut tbo now legal len
ders rro to bo redeemable in gold or sil
ver coin, nt the option of tbo Treasury,
on presentation. Thus they dofoot par
take of tbo nature of inedoemablc paper
money; and in fact, they willi merely
offset llio national bank currency, which
is lining withdrawn through tlio .cancel
lation of tlio bonds on which it is-bascd.
So long as the redemption feature ia nd
heied to, tbo now treasury notes cannot
inflate values. f
There has been considerable discus
sion nmoiig ship captains and owners in
S.in Francisco in regard to dangers to
navigation tlmt are now known to be
floating uiound off tbo coast. Last
week tho schooner Napa City (capsized
oir Point Reyes and is nowl drifting
aiouud bottom up Bomowhere to the
southward of the Faralloncs,right in
the tinck of sic inters and sailing vessels
bound up tbo coast or San Francisco.
On Fiiday last tha steamer Coast lost
oil' Mendocino part oi a raft of logs sho
was towing down from Fort ltragg.
These logs, liko those of tii famous
JoggbiB raft, which bioko adi lit on the
Atlantic Coast, aro now floating around
a menaco to pasiiug voasela. Said ono
old ship captain: i
"It is impossible to sen tin upturned
vessol or log in tbo water at uight, nnd
if a vessel going at n good rntojof speed
hhuuld btriko a log eu-l on It would pro
bably go right through hor. Tlieio nro
hundreds of lives and millions of dollars'
worth of property at muko nfiil it cer
tainly is the slaty of the government,
which exacts heavy taxes fiopjjshipping
to sond out n vosscl to romovotlioso ob
structions to navigation, to tow tbo logs
into Bonio port nnd to low In or blow up
tbo derelict. If they do not fwo bIuiII
certainly hear of some accidents occur
ring by their agency."
Chincso cnsoH in tlio ciimiual courts
aro becoming of almost daily occurrence
in Now York Cily. The eases are of the
samo nature ns thoso fAinill&r to the
San Francisco courts. Thefo?nro al
most daily cases of opium joints in
which joung while girlu bavo been
found. A case of this fort, c.vjiie up in
the Tombs court recently. Thu court
room was filled with Cbinfflo.' Sis Chi
neso nnd four young while girls worn
arraigned. The girls woro quite pretty.
As tbtne was nooldencu against either
Ibo giils or .Mongolians, J tiitge Patter
son discharged them all. No1 censured
the police for arresting theraj nnd said
that tlioro was no law prohibiting
while women from associating with Chi
neso. -
Ashland enjoyed a novel Contest on
tho-lthof July, whlult is daioribod by
the Tidings; "The p!o-cnting mutch
was one of the limit utniiilug.fe.ituieu ol
tbo performances. Tlioro ,woro (oui
contestants. A very jnioy raapborrj
plo (and it must hnvo been a" good pio.
judging by Ihe way the boys' wont after
it) was divided Into four pluooa, and
each plecu was laid upon a plate, Tin
plates were placed upon utabjo in plain

nropated for the contest by lying tliuh

Joaquin Miller's Old Age.
Thore wofl a ripplo of Rnrpriso mani
fest when Joaquin Miller, tlio poet of
tbo Sierras, refused to furnish the an
nual Fourth of July poem for Ibo local
committee of S.in Frnncirco. People
who know the orotic man, however, did
no, marvel over bis refusal, as they hove
known for a long time that the poet is
no longer n public character, the man of
tbo world and tbo platform speaker of
days gone by, but has of recent years
doveloped into a, veritable reclu o. Mr
Miller is not at all ch irrnad with our
modern civilizition. Thero nro many
material things which grate harshly up
on bis poetic nature, and lie has learned
lo ignoro rather than to love the bust
ling, busy life of city and town.
Not many years ago lie declared Hint
novcr again would ho cross the contin
ent, and that tlio country to the ei3t of
Mount Shasta, whoso rugged psaks ho
loves so well, would mo him no raoro.
High upon tho foothills, three miles
back of K ist Oakland, Miller purchased
a fifty-acre tract of land two years ago,
and here ho has built ids home. From
the doorway of his cotlago ho views the
Golden Gate nnd the cities of San -Finn"
cisco nnd Oikland! Thoy nro near
onougb to him, lie says, from that dis
tance, and bo has bo far followed bis
lifo as a hermit Hint ha scarcely over
comes to tho city. Dating tho past year
his visits bavo been growing more infre
quent, nnd be even refuses to eee tbo
cily people who climb the mountain
aide to pay their respects to him.
The Harbor at Bucn03 Ayres.
Tho Kivor Pinto, on whose southern
bank Buenos Ayres is located, is 100
miles wide at its moulli, and in a good
many respects lesomblos tho Mississip
pi. It is full of shoals, and although its
Spanish name, llio do la Plata, meaun
"riverof silver," it might more appro
priately bo called the rivor of copper, or
still bettor, tbo river of red mud, for
t' af ia exactly tho color of its waters.
Tho effect when sailing over those danc
ing vellow waves is qui to poetical. Tlio
city itself is a self-mado one, for not on
ly nro thero no natural resources to fer
tilize its growth, but it is not so well
situated for shipping as though it were
built on nn oulinary Etrip of sandy
beach. Hurbor-lhoro is none. Vessels
are compelled first to nnchur in tho
middle of the river, out of sight of the
city; thence thoy nro towod to within
pet haps two miles of tho shore, where
they Ho from one to two weeks, along
with hundreds of others, awaiting their
turn at a whaif. Packed in thus in a
wofully neighborly way thoy have nn
occassional glimpso of tha city through
a forest of spars a view of a long, mon
otonous line of buildings, strongly and
thoroughly built and low, with only
lieie and tlioro a factory chimney stand
ing liko a mile-stone of prosperity clear
cut ngamst tho sky. Whon nt least tho
ship finds herself in a position tonrdoad
sho is Btill four miles below tbo city
proper at a spot called tlio Boca, which
happens to bavo a little deeper water
limn others. Passenger steamers re
main where thoy first anchor, nnd pas
sengers are carried to Hie sboro on bust
ling little led and brown steam tugboats.
Tbo government Bomo vents ago" con
tracted willi nn English company to
build an artificial harbor noar the city.
Tho work was begun in 1830 and will bo
finished in 1893. Its cost will bo 50,
000,000, and it is claimed that whon it is
completed vessels can unload as easily
as tit Philadelphia or Now Orleans.
Tho first census of Ihe United States
was taken just 100 years ngo. Tho to
tal population was :i.0C9,21-t jut-t
nbout tho present population of the
state of Illinois.
Virginia in 1793 was tho most popu
lous of tho states. Her inhabitants
numbered 747,010. Possessing great
natural resources, lying full on tho sea
board, penetrated by a great bay which
abounds in oxcellcnt harbors, diversi
fied with valtoys of great natural fertil
ity, and willi mountains full of timber
nnd minerals, Virginia ought to have
hold tho first place, and would bavo
holdlthnd sho not pteforred to keep
shivory, which produced conditions fatal
to her growth ami udvuncemant, finally
In ought her under tho iron ll.iil of war
and led to her dwmambdrment. A liko
eausu kept hack North O.uolhia astuto
that In 1791 had more inhabitants than
New York, and was in fact the third
xtatQ in population.
In 1790 thoHtatoofN'w York had a
population just about as Lugo as the
present population of Oregon namely
340,129. This may givo an idea of tho
weakness of the United States 100 yearB

Republicans in the U. S. Senate.
A caucus of republican senators to ar
range a programmo for tho disposition
of business during tlio remainder of the
session is probable. Tho real point al
Issuo is whether or not the national
election bill shall be considered at this
cession. It is tacitly understood that if
an assurance is given the minority that
this measure will not be pushed no fac
tious opposition will be interposed lo a
speedy disposition of tlic tariff bill, riv
er and harbor bill and tho remaining
appropriation bills and an adjournment
at an early hour. The caucus is to un
dertake to decide whether an arrange
ment of this kind shall be mado. Sev
eral propositions intended to meet the
emergency in case of any gerrymander
ing bavo been canvassed. The latest
proposition is to proceed under the ex
istent i tiles to transact sucb business as
tbo majority may Bee fit to undertake.
When a measure has in the Judgement
of tbo majority been debated to a reas
onable extent, the senator in charge of
the measure is to move an adoption of
the leport involving tho passage of the
bill, nud without furthor rocognition of
tho would bo specchmakers, the presid
ing officer is to put tho question.
The republican senators were in cau
cus three hours last week discussing tlio
order of business. Tlio outcome was a
decision to conclude consideration of the
pending bills and then take up the sun
dry civil appropriation bill. There was
a prolonged deb-ilo respecting the
places to b'.- assigned, the tariff bill and
tlic rlvor and harbor bill, as well ns the
pedlency of considering the national
election bill Ibis Bsnson, but no decision
reached. It was bolioved before the
matters abovo referred to are disposed
of the democratic policy will be suffi
ciently revealed to guide the republicans
to tbo formulation of measures to meet
tho situation. Speeches to-night show
there was a decided majority for the
Federal election bill, and it is said no
ono strongly objected to it, but a fairly
good number showed a great deal cf
lnkewarmne3s on tbo subject.
Col. James llendershott was in Port
land last week, on his way to attend a
meeting of tho State Horticultural So
ciety at Corvallis. He says such a crop
of cereals as will bo harvested this yoar
has never been known in Oregon. In
Grand Konde valley especially, the har
vest will bo very heavy. The apple
ci op in Grand Hondo will bo good, but
other fruits will be scarce, owing main
ly to over-production Inst season.
Eastern Oregon and Washington had a
light harvest last year, and it is pleas
ing to know that tho shortage will be
made up to them this year.
Tho people of McMinnville bavo sub
scribed $1700 for tho building of an
electric motor lino into that city.
