The recent attempted revolution

A bill h:g been introduced in
the house by Thompson, of Mult
nomah, to secure to .Oregon, for
the benefit of the common school
fund, some 240,000 acres of school
land, being sections 16 and 36, em
braced within the Cascade timber
reserve, and the appointment of an
agent to select lieu lands therefor,
and to increase the price of such
selections to the sum of (5 per
acre, and to increase the price of
all state lands co the price of (2.50
per acre. The Cascade reserve was
set off simply to allow the school
land board to select lieu lands ta
speculate upon them, and this
bill is the culmination of the
Last Monday's telegraphic dis
patches give the news that a feu
banks in the city of Omaha hold
upwards of 13,000,000 in gold in
excess of requirements. This is
the more surprising because every
day there is shipped from different
points into the state of Nebraska,
food for its starving poor. What
a picture, as per contrast, is there
here. The few are hoarding gold
the masses starving! But for what
purpose are they hoarding gold?
Simply for the premium it is sure
to command some day, in the near
future, if our present financial
policy becomes an assured fact.
But whatever nuy be the cause,
it must be plain that our policy on
finance is wrong and will lead to
inevitable destruction if persisted
in. Whenever the bankers hoard
the money, be that gold, silver, or
paper or any other commodity,
while the poor are starving, Jfiie
social system that permits these
things must sooner or later 'be
pressed to the wall. These :are
stuborn facts but true, and the
sooner we recognize this condition
the better. Men as intelligent as
our American citizens truly are,
will not submit any great length of
time to being starved by a few
lovers of the golden metal. There
were other causes that brought
about this state of affairs in Neb
raska besides this money hording
by these banks, which is admitted.
But the disposition shown by men
who will calmly see their fellows
suffer and starve, for such this
picture truly shows, will meet its
measure ot deserts. Evidently the
motto of these bankers is, do up
your neighbor before he does you.

A REPLY. "
In reply to the peiee published In
your paper, of February 8, entitled
"Our Public School." If you will al
low uic spate, I will try to answer the
above entitled article.
First,"Mnral Surroundings at Home
and etc." It is not improbable that
some of the parents are just as moral
and may be more so, than Patron, It
does not say because a man or womau
follows the more meager ocupations
in life, that he or she is n it moral and
stain, we have enw children of the
first famllyer of the Country go astray.
Second, "If Home training has been

Lord over our children, when you

Fourth, "It has been theprivlagc to
