Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATR1CK, Editor - and Proprietor A FREE SILVER ST ATX. ' "Our silver people now assume that Oregon is ft silver state. She is not. The recent election does not prove that the people of Oregon would prefer the Bilver standard to the gold standard. They who take it so are greatly in error. The issue was not directly before the people. Large numbers of the supporters of the gold standard exerted themselves to the utmoBt to prevent a straight issue. The gold standard people were'divided while the silver standard people were practically united. The facts are well known to our people. We hope to bring them to the attention of those of other states." Oregon ian. The Oregonian has a faculty of making black look white, but it will have some difficulty in estab lishing the fact by the recent elec tion that "Oregon is not a silver state." In the first district Tongue has a small plurality over Vander buie. The latter's vote is solid for free silver. Tongue received many free silver republican votes as Myers received democratic gold standard votes by reason of party obligations. Allowing that each received I thousand votes of this character, and there would be fully 8,000 majority in the firBt district in favor of free silver. In the second district the condition is even worse. Ellis no doubt received about one half the republican single standard vote, while the other half cast for him was favorable to free silver. The goldbug democrats went to Northrup almost solid and Bennett did not receive a thousand of their votes. Northrup has about 8,000 votes. Add to these 6,500 of Ellis' gold vote and 1,000 of Bennett's, and we have less than 16,000 votes favorable to the gold standard out of s vote of about 41,000, which leaves about 25,000 in favor of the double stanard, or a clear majority of 9,000. If the question of free coinage of silver were submitted to the voters of Oregon it would carry by at least 15,000 majority. The recent election demonstrated this fact. The Oregonian, as usual, de viates from the truth when it says the goldites were divided and the silverites united in the contest. The reverse is the case. In the first district Tongue made his contest on a single standard issue against Myers and Vanderburg, who were both on the silver platform. In the second district Northrup was on a gold issue alone against Ben nett and Quinn on a straight free silver issue and Ellis on a straddle with a free silver record, being three silver candidates against one gold. The fact is that the goldites were , united while the silverites were divided and by that means about one-third of Oregon's vote elects the two congressmen. In other words, 84,000 out of the 86,000 elect Tongue and Ellis. The Oregonian is correct when it says that the result "does not prove that the people of Oregon would prefer the silver standard to the gold standard." It signifies that they want both gold and silver on an equality. That is what free coin age means. Portland Dispatch. We publish the above by request. A Easvabd Professor said to his pupils'. "Personally I do not like Spenser, and Milton is to me ex cessively unpleasant; Milton is trying to be a Puritan and an artist st the same time, and the two things do not and cannot coin cide. A conscious moral purpose ruins any effort for artistic effect. "To my thinking 'Comus' isn't in it with the 'Faithful Shepherdess.' A fellow like Milton, that has bored me with 'Paradise Lost,' and 'Sampson Agonistes,' I have abso lutely no use for. When I read Milton, as I have to, I read him for study, not for enjoyment. I feel that Milton is rhetoric just sb Spenser is rhetoric. Take 'L' Al legro,' 'Comus,' tc, these are rhetoric jolly good rhetoric, some parts of them. I thoald guess that Lycida,' and some few or Milton's sonnets were some of the most spontaneous things he ever did. He certainly wasn't spontaneous in 'SampBon AgomsteB,' although he spoke out with a certain resonant bang. No one can be spontaneous who construot a Greek tragedy on the plan of a Hebrew story." It is somewhat astonishing how many men thiB community really holds who are capable of managing a political campaign after it is over, Hosts of long haired populists are bemoaning the folly of their lead ers. Legions of red eyed republi cans of both factions wildly de nounce the management of each, And most of the defeated demo cratic candidates tow vengeance against suspected traitors in the party. No one is satisfied but those who won, and what is the most surprising not one of the successful patriots seems to he able to account for why he in particular should have been selected. Now, in view of the fact that it waB one of the most unprincipled campaigns yet seen in this city, and consider ing that it was irom beginning to end a case of dog-eat dog with political principles thrown to the winds, and that trading for votes was a paramount duty with the candidates, how comes it that all the patriots are so innocent as to the contemptible work that was done? Portland Tomahawk. Yon can build up your town, 1st, by trading with home people; 2d, by encouraging public improve ments; 3d, by the economic use of public money; 4th, by advertising liberally; 5th, by keeping up to date complete stock of goods to correspond with your advertising; 6th, by providing good schools and churches; 7th, by avoiding cFques and rings and all exclusive kinds of business; 8th, by bidding a warm welcome to all strangerB who seek a home in your midst; 9th, by standing together as brothers in business and socially; 10th, by making a heroic effort to pay your debts; 11th, by not talking all the time about the hard times; 12th by not requiring business men to sell goods below cost or artisans to toil without a profit. Ex. The single standard advocates have much to say about the coun try going to a silver basis. If it does, it will be the gold bugs that will put it there. What the free coinage advocates demand is not gold or silver, but gold and silyer, both of equal buying and debt pay ing capacity. When that is the law, there will be no object in de preciating Bilver, and as we are an exporter of silver, the foreign pur chaser will have to pay dollar for dollar for our silver. We shall send no more gold out the country than we do now or our obligations require. Silver simply demands the rights it has under the consti tution. Dispatch. Secretary Carlisle, once the pet of his state and admired by the democracy of the nation, was utter ly repudiated by the democracy of his state at the convention last week. The convention was com posed of nine-tenths silver delegates Mr. Carlyle's own county repudiat ing him. It is said that this action will cause him to change his resi dence to New York at the expira tion of his term of office. He is now more in harmony with the sentiment of Wall street than witr the people who once delighted to honor him. Watterson and the Courier-Journal will be the next victims. Ex. "Pennoyab is as clever an old rascal as was ever left outside the Oregon penitentiary. He may again cut quite figure in Oregon politics before many moons." Eugene Register. Any editor that makes such a statement is either a fool or misrepresents. Whatever else Pennoyer is, he is honest. He has some peculiar ways, but there is one thing about it, whenever be is put up before the people he always gets there, which proves tr, our mind that the people certainly have confidence in him.

The trustees of the Bank of Lebanon have won their suit in the court ot ap peals, and the remaining property of the old bank will be distributed among those entitled to it. This Is an im portant victory for the Lebanon peo ple, and their attorneys Mr. Homers and Mr. Garland. Mr. John Handley and Mr. Elmer Graves passed through Lebanon Tues day with a band of horses which they brought across the mountains. John reported seven or eight feet of snow yet on the mountains. And that there is only a narrow trail packed down. The two men that have been woik ing this town on the Salvation Army style, left last Saturday night on passes (tie passes). They did very little good at this place, if any, in fact we believe they did the cause of Christianity more harm than good. Such men as "Capt." Moore would do more harm than good anywhere, according to our opinion The lady that was with them here for a few days bad the respect of all but noose respected the men and especially Moore. A gentleman from Oregon City by the name of Shaw passed through Lebanon yesterday from Waterloo where he had been looking through the woolen mill with a view of purchas ing it. It is reported that Mr. Shaw is quite wealthy besides representing some capitalists, It Is said that Mr. Kay is now oftering these mills for sale that he may devote bis entire time to the Salem mill, We were informed that Mr. Shaw was well pleased with the Waterloo property and that It Is more than probable that they will purchase it. On account of having accepted the position of deputy county clerk, Rout. B. Montague tendered his resignation as mayor of the oity of Lebanon at the regular meeting of the city council last Tuesday evening. The resigna tion was accepted and Councilman C. E. Pugli was elected mayor by the council to fill the unexpired term. Mr. 8. 0. Wallace was elected councilman to fill the vacancy caused by the resig nation of Mr. Pugh. The council ten dered a vote of thanks to Mayor Mon tague for his courteous and business like manner in conducting the office of mayor. DR. J. A.

Charges reasanabls, BIG LITIGATION PROBABLE, ' Talk of a Suit Being Brought by Mr. Hammon for the Terminal Grounds at Yaqutna. It Is rumored that there is every prospect for some big litigation in con nection with the railroad property, right-of-way, docks, etc., at Yaqulna, says the Lincoln County Lender. It Is said that Mr. Hammon recently made a trip to San Francisco to see Mr. William M. Hogg to try to pur chase the terminal ground", but fulled to make a purchase. Mr. Hoag was willing to lease but not willing to sell the property. Mr. Hammond did not care to own a railroad without the terminal facilities and so stated. He Intimated that if he could not buy the property outright he would bring con- deninatory proceedings and buy the property through the medium of the law. Mr. Hoag did not take kindly to this idea, and there is where the law- suit is liable to come in. What there is In it cannot be said for a certainty, but a considerable color of truth 1b given the above, by the faot that since Mr. Hammond's return from San Francisco, a surveyor has been at work at the docks and terminus surveying the ground occupied by the side-tracks, docks, wharves, etc. If the case goes Into the courts It will probably make some Interesting litigation. Suit for $5000. Deputy United States Marshal George Humphrey was in the city tills week subpoenaing witnesses to appear tn the United States court in Portland next week, in the case of Martha Cochran vs. the New York Life In surance Company. Mrs. Cochran seeks to recover $5000 from said com pany, that being the amount of her late husband's polioy at the time of his death. The company refuses to pay, claiming that Mr. Cochran com mitted suicide. The witnesses sub poenaed were O. P. Coshow, F. M. Powell, H. P.. Powell, Silas Powell and S. P. Burger. Brownsville Times, Over a Ball Oamt. James Nixon, the 18-year-old son of J. B. Nixon, a wealthy and highly re spected farmer living north of Umpqua, shot and killed Charles Bice, aged 25, a son of Mrs. Jane Stradder. The affair occured at a baseball game, at Blakesleys, 15 miles east of Hone- burg, Sunday afternoon. The Immedi ate cause of the shooting was trouble over the ball game. Bice threatened to whip Nixon, and putied off his coat, starting toward him, when Nixon drew a revolver and shot Bice In the breast; be turned and ran a few feet, and was shot again In the back; fell and expired almost Instantly.
