Salem Democrat.
Vacaville, Cal., proposes to raise
the liquor license of the town to

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

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?

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
