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.

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."

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

always gets there, which proves tr,
our mind that the people certainly
have confidence in him.

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.

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.

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.
