Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATRICK, Erdltor - and - Proprietor. Grain crop in the valley is turn ing out fine. Lebanon can boaat of having tlie best watnr works system of any town in the state of its size. The Salem Woolen Mills never were so busy as they are now. iney are running aay ana night Salem Democrat. Vacaville, Cal., proposes to raise the liquor license of the town to 2,000 a year. There is much op. position to the proposition. Inventor Edison Bays that in his opinion the whole country has de veloped into a nationul lunatic asylum ou the financial question or this reason he has closed down iib phonograph factory. Complaint has been made in the uaiomnouse in oan f raucisco, that some one of the employees has been giving the prices and place of purchase of one importer to anoth er. The charges are being investi gated. Tnere was a terrible tumble in Chicago's board of trade Monday, Many of the millionaires who have made their fortunes through gam bling on the necessaries of life were reduced almost to poverty by the filing in the price of wheat ana pvs. ' Representative Bland is of the opinion that the repeal of the '- Hherman act is impossible in eith er house unless there is a provis ion made for silver coinage. The United States is old, big and independent enough to have a money policy of its own. Europ m polic should have no more ,d!ert on the money of this country ilium their legislation upon our tariff system. If we are to ape .England in money matters, why , not do so on the tariff? British agricultural statatistics si? TT unsatisfactory condi tio T'16 munuer f Allures M farmers iMhe British Isles fe4ng the first Bix months of tins year was 40 per cent larger than those of the corresponding time in 1S92. t In South Africa the Kaffir sor yftfis have formed a union to tfh'ich the members have to give a "charter" for their mistress. No member is allowed to enter upon a situation unless the registered character of the mistress of the louse is satisfactory. As au example of what may be done with the English language, an announcement in an exchange furnishes the most startling evi dence. "Mrs. Blank will lecture at-i hall Sunday afternoon; the subject, "From Heaven to Hell." The elevator will rnn from two to four p. m. The Salem Democrat advises the farmers of Marion county not to mil their wheat at present prices unless absolutely compelled to do go. It is more than probable that the price will be much higher be fore winter, and a few cents on the hushel means many thousand dol lars in the aggregate. It is not speculation to hold for a fair price ml it is ruinous to sell at the present price. Independence West Side: Our dreaders take but little-interest in that injunction suit over the soldiers' home at Roscburg, but when our state normal school at Monmouth is enjoined from open ling its doors this fall, what then? The two minute trotter is at hand. With the aid of a running iatej. a bicycle sulky and on the Kirkwood, (Del.) kite shaped track, Ayres P., on the 4th inst., trotted a full mile in the wonder ful time of 2:03. Many who wit nessed the performance, great as it may seem, did not hesitate to say that with a faster running mate, tiio --d would have been lower-irther. The "extraordinary occasions" which sometimes necessitates the calling of an extra session of Con gress; has come and Congress is now assembled . to relieve the people of the burden that iB so hard to bear an extreme scarcity of money. The President has frankly recommended the repeal of the Sherman act, to the passage of which be attributes all our ills: and urges Cong reset to give the country such lawB as will put beyond a doubt the "intentions and ability of the government to fulfil its pecuniary obligations in money universally recognized by all civilized countries." He still thinks the tariff of great import ance, but for the present, of less importance than the money ques tion. The President may rec ommend nnd the people may de mand but Congress must act. Never before have the people been so clamorous for relief, and they are willing to take it from the hands of any political party. The lines that formally marked the boundaries of political parties seem no longer to divide Congress. The lines are now between gold and silver, with the president favoring gold, it is earnestly hoped that the combined wisdom of Congress, regardless of politics, will solve the knotty problem now vexing the peoule. One day lass week C. C. Hale killed a rattlesnake on the head of MoKav, whicb is probably the largest ever seen in the country, at least Mr. Hale challenges anybody to report a larger one. It measured 2 feet and 6 inches in length, 6 inches around the largest part of its body and 1 5-6 Inches across the head, and had 11 rattles. The reptile was viulous and showed flgh as soon as it was discovered. Ochoco Beview. The Yaquina Route. ORBOON TACIFIC RAILROAD, E. W. Hadley, Receiver, Direct Line Quick Dispatch Low Freight Rates.
