During the Presidential campaigns of and 1300 an honest dollar was! de fined as a dollar which would purchase about the same amount of the neces- -ari?-s of life "at "one: time as another, While 1 it seems possible to make t an honest dollar ; by legislation, no way has yet been discovered by which .the law ' honest dollar can be made to stay honest. It was contended in 1896 that the gold dollar must remain hon ' est because there was no konwn metal which could be coined into a dollar of greater intrinsic value. But the honest gold dollar of 1SSHJ will not buyas much as It would when It was declared '. -; the only dollar with J which debts could honorably be paid. This, of course.' is an unlooked for condition of things. It was admitted in 196 that the gold dol lar: might rise in value that is. that it puchasing power might be increased but ho on anticipated that its pur chasing power would be reduced, But today the gold dollar, so far as its pur chasing extends to the common needs of a household, is an SO-cent dollar. It wllTstltl pay a dollar's worth of debts, but statistics covering a . considerable period of time, and including articles of common - use. show"' that' the gold dollar m the hands off the thrifty hoise ; keeper is subject to ft discount of aboiit 20 cents.! Outside of speculative circles the gold dollar is as hard to get as In - 10S. t In onie branches of industry ; wages have risen, but' not in proportion to the increase in;-the cost of living - There seems to be a fundamental error ' in the assumption that if a coin were given, a flxeoVvalu by law there could be no great fluctuation In its purcnas- i in iower-S. P. 'Bulletin. f : j The gold dollar has not changed In price. It cannot change. It is IIke a foot rulo.

The sf lec tion of New Orleans for the convention was the best, that could have been made, and there Is reason to hoi-e for good results from the three days ol familiar intercourse. ' ' ,' THE PEOPLE AND POLITICS.. " Young Republican" - has recently been writing some vigorous articles for a local paner, bis .last one taking . the ground that gigantic frauds are being committed in . the methods 4 employed for securing large tracts ?of timber lands by corporations. lie admits that thli I all done according to law but asserts that it-will be. cured when we have direct -, nominations. - Perhar most people.re in favor of direct nom inations, but it fat difficult to see the connection between a. direct nominat ing system and the prevention, of set tlers making false or fraudulent selec tion of homesteads or other methods' of securing public lands. ' ; "Young Republican says that after certain named V preliminaries are at tended to "the corporation then secures settlers to go on these barren hills and prove up on them.' .;' It 'wflL. be noticed that unless these settlers could be induced to do this sort of -work, the corporations, would be balked at the very outset of the pro cedure." The question is, since the law must , be so" framed that settlers can prove up on lands, if they are to be benefited by the land laws; how are we to prevent them playing Into the hands of the corporations for pay? Will. It ever be possible to enact a law under which a settler will agree to not change his mind, and bind himself to not sell his claim, at any time after he has proven up on it? And if a sufficient number of settlers can always be found who will use their rights as settlers to further the desires of the corporations, how will you redress the veil by' direct nominations? . v " - f 1 uptose Rockafeller 'should come to Oregon and buy every acre"Lof land in Marion county by offering ten times the price it is held for, and should become t ha sole owner of the county, would the transaction be pointed tov as proof, of corruption in our political system? l To b4 sure a ereat wrong has been committed by which railroad scrip has been issued upon which the best timber of the country is " being secured or practically nothing that is, ; indeed. an outrage, , Dut in - tne other cases where, the settlers comply with the law which is passed in their -interest.w in order to assist the. corporations, who is to blame," and how will direct homlna thus remedy the wrong?;; . , In the current issue of the Grants Pass Mining Journal is the following news item: . .. - "The Booth-Kelly Lumber Co.. of Uugene, htve contracted for the sar vey of some six. townships lying di rectly on the summit of the Cascades, between the; head waters of ' the Des chutes and Willamette rivers. The and is in the Cascade forest reserve. and will be exchanged by the Govern ment for, forestry reseKVe script. Messrs Perkins. 'Mensch and Keating left-re cently to do the surveying." Is the Booth-Kelly Co. a menace to the prosperity 6t Oregon? And if It is not, wnerein would a dozen companies like it be a. cause for special alarm? The fact is, that while most of us are in favor of direct nominations, and for nany reasons, yet some or tne anuses. ,olnted out by "Young Republlcan'1 are not the result ot corruption in politics nr of the conniving of orncers, but; of lownrlght -dishonesty oh the parfc. ; of "settleVs" who canj be used. There are i . greatf many wrongs we complain of .v.hleh have their origin beyond public fl!cials, and which even direct nomina tions will not entirely obliterate. ; A ?reat many of the -people, become pub lic officials and, on the other hand, alt of our officers have beloneed to the jblass we denominate "the people." We ire pretty well mixed up in this coun try,- and the officers are not muchi it thy, worse than the people and. per haps, after all, the" people are not very nuch better than their officers. The nixing process Jn vogue in this country is a good one. ' AM INNOCENT CHINAMAN. The - New York Evening ' Post' holds ip a Chinaman as a victim 5f what It terms American race prejudice. This articular Chinaman has been kept on ihlp ,in Hoboken ' whi! the shin- waf waiting for a cargo. The refusal of th. Tmmlgration- Inspectors to allow . the Chinaman to land is denounced as an mtrage. : The Chinaman, o far, a is mown, has committed no of fcne which justifies the authorities in denying him he privilege of landing. "But," , says the Post, "so terrible would be the re uilt of his settling among us that he t guarded like the worst of criminals." This particular Chinaman may be 5n frensive. but his. race has beon denieo fhe privilege of American citizens in the Interest of men, women and chil Iren born in the country. The Chinese -o present a lower clvilixation. and the iftect of admlttintr them a Into , th Jnitect States would be to lower th .merican standard of living to the Chi nese leveL The wages of laborers flxvf the standard of living that must tr rati.among them- If. foreign competi tion reduces " wa ges the ' American General Debility Day In and out there is that feeling of weakness that makes a burden of itself. : . .

The effect of such appeals as the Post has made In behalf of this one China man U to Incline the Treasury Depart meht to a construction of law which will give Chinese sailors the privilege of landing. As the law on this point is so plain and positive that-no. one can pretend not to understand It. the con servative Post virtually advises a, vio lation ' of law. There . can be no pre tense that Chinese who ship,n vessels touching American ports do not know that It is only by a violation of law that they can be allowed to land.'. They accept the service with full knowledge of -the penalty attached. The law may seem harsh to them, but Its enactment was essential to the preservation of the condition of American worklngmen. 3. P. Bulletin. " The New York Evening Post will not take the trouble to learn it. and would probably'not admit it If the truth w'ere known, but the fact is that if one Chi nese sailor was allowed to land there would soon be enough Chinese "sailors" in 4ds country to. fill the places of all the Chinamen who have died since the law requiring natives of China to reg ister was passed; and probably some scores of thousands would; undertake to remain in this country without.1 their certificates of registration. J INCREASE IN SMALL RANKS. ; Under the provisions of the gold standard act of March 14. 1900, nearly 1,100 banks have been established " on the , new basis, and. mainly in "the Southern and Western states. In thir teen Southern states 2S5 ' new , -i banks have been started. Texas leads all the slates In this: respecL with 141 -new banks.. Oklahoma and . the Indian Territory "have each added about fifty banks to their facilities, and few have a capital exceeding $25,000. Two-thirds of the new Institutions have. a capital of $50,000 or, less and are located tin towns; of - less than 6.000 Inhabitants. Applications to the Comptroller of Lhe Currency; are still numerous. Ther,Ba- tional bank circulation' has been In creased $100,009,000. Banking advan tages have been multiplied throughout the 'country., and the movement con tlnuee to the satisfaction of the people generally. , , iThe region most benefited, by the law of 1S00 Is that In which opposition ; to the gold standard and the Republican party was strongest. In the. South the Democratic solidity Is just as absolute as ever, but nevertheless that section is deeply Indebted to Republicanism for this widespread Improvement in bank ing operations, along with the 100-cent lollar,; expansion, protected Southern industries, and last, not least, prosper ity. -Populislic states acknowledge the obligation and have generally swung baelf to the Republican line, but the South Is stilly for anything to beat the Republican party. ; f DOING GOOD WORK. J The President had better call Sec retary Shaw back and lock him Up in the Treasury pepartmerH till, the elec tions rare - over. Portland Evening Telegram. , 4 j No, he would better not do anything of theklnd; and the President no doubt appreciates, as he should, the splendid work Secretary Shaw Is xdoing. Mr. Shaw,; as- Secretary of the . Treasury, ! has chief charge of the administration of the tariff laws, and lie Is In the best position of any one to explain Its work ings. He is dot rig thfv and incidantan he Is doing the Republican party one of whose chief foundation ' principles is protection of American Industries and American labor a vast amount of good. The United States Is fortunate In having a man of Mrk Shaw's, splendid attainments and sound Republicanism at the head of the Treasury Depart -ment. and 'Eastern Republicans', are fortunate In having his services In thfir campaign. ' - Wood and water are going to be re sponsible for two booms that are head d for Oregon, as surely as anything in the future can be.' There will be a boom la Southeastern Oregon as ( soon is that section is connected with the outside world fey, rail and water appli d by means of irrigation canals to the atid lands2 4 There will be. a boom all along the coast line as oon as rail roads are constructed so that mills may be.put In and operated in sswing. up the immense forests of" magnificent timber. . The Willamette valley, be tween the two sections, w ill profit from ootn of these coming booms. Sail and steam are now fairly com peting In the California-Hawaii oil trade. .There la an Increasing demand in the island territory for crude oil for fuel. The' steamship Enterprise has been employed as an oil-burning, oil carrier, to and from Hawaiian ports for Be vera! months, and now the" four masted tanked barkentine FuHerton has entered Into the territorial oil- carrying competition,.

It will take England a long time o work out the problems that confront her in her South African ' possessions. For one thing; the Dutch farmers have had many negro slaves, and they will insist upon keeping them under some condition or other. The British laws do not tolerate siavery.. In fact, Jf ;i an axloin that British ioil itself confers the boon of freedom-that Is, a slave once setting foot upon British territo ry becomes by that' very fact a free nian. The, English ' people will have their race problehi like the one of "the United States in the Southern states. There Is also the labor problem. It would be prptty hard work to ea- aggerate the gravity of the South Afri can labor crlsis."Recent dispatches have 1 . . referred to it as checking much need ed railroad construction and as sug gesting the Introduction of Chinese la borers, -it is not only railroad construc tion that la halted. The mines of the Rand. are largely idieand every indus try which requires much unskilled la bor is embarrassed. ' This . would be unfortunate at any time. It Is doubly so' just now, at the end ef the war, be cause the successful re-establishment of peace and : reorganiiartion of the states depend largely upon the prompt resumption of and expansion of Indus-' try. . A single item will' show graphically how grave the situation Is. The mines of ""the Rand need at least 75,000 men, aad they are able to get only some 4,500 a month. --' As many of these re tire at the end of each month, at this rate it would take the best part of. two years to get the mines fully manned, a delay which would be? Intolerable) and little short of ruinous. ; Nol ; wonder men arc considering the employment of other than black labor. At present, it must be remembered unskilled labor in, those countries . means black labor. The Boers abhor labor in the mines, railroads and the. like, and will have none of it. and largely on that account there prevails a strong prejudice against the employment of white la bor, which has operated to give a mo nopoly of the 'unskilled labor market to the blacks. A great "Native Labor Association" baa been formed, which undertakes to -provide all the unskill ed labor needed,' and to which all em ployers loojc .for ' their supplies. At present, it is entirely unable to supply the demand for various reasons, . THE "DIRTY COWARDS." .. .. There otight to be in" every state of the Union, a. law providing ada uate punishment for " cowardly, heartless wretches who desert their wives and children' for no just cause. The number of men guilty of this outrage is constantly increasing. Such biacacguards, IT the burden' of provid ing ffor their familios Is too heavy for theJi" lazy souls. If theyltake a fancy to some other wmati, -' if ' they wish to change their location at the ffmallest possible expense, have no compunction alxrut leaving their wives in the lurch; nor dots It make any difference if there are children;; the diity cowards know that mother love will not leave them uncared for'. All lhe burden is thus plat od on the : shoulders of. the ; wife, who may perhaps be. ill-equipped to go out Into the world to fight the hard battle of life, ad who may be further handicapped by the care of small chil dren. - V " .-"'' Several states already have laws cal culated to cover such- cases.', Wife de sertion of "the kind described ought to le .made a felopy; and the Whipping post would be a punishment none too severe.

This is a hard matter to reach by -" " legislation, - but V if - can be so reached, and If some of the states have successfully solved : the question, ft.
