SATUKDAY MC3IIT bOMLOQUiBS t Ouo of the strongest dispositions in life is to get even. No stronger power takes hold of a nuiii or woiu-n, when a wrong lias been done one, than- the desire to get square with the offender. The man who strikes a blow at his fellow- man must know of the existence of tills human element of revenge. He does know it and very often It is the deter.'iug force that overcomes ills Inclination to strike his know ing of the likelihood of the other fellow striking back. A confederate soldier who was three years in the army of the lost cause, und who cried like a babe twenty-live years ago one day this week, when Lee surrendered his unities to the victor ious Grant, tells us that after his company h.id beeu in about twenty losing b.ittles they had a great deal moie respect for tho Union than ever before. If the South had dreamed the "northern mudsills" would have at i tick hack with one-tenth the force they did, it is doubtful if secession would have ever taken place. It Is the recognition of latent power, aud of unexerted authority that carries the greatest conviction with It of the existence of real power and au thority. Tho mau who must bo constantly asserting his power aud dignity, tc show that ho has any, is devoid of ouo and destitute of the oilier. Real power and dignity do not have to he labelled or the pos session thereof asserted. Bo, because a man strikes back and seeks by exhibitions of force to display ills power lo retaliate, It does not there fore folow that lie has great physi cal or moral power and courage. Who does not know by this time Unit the South would huvo display ed greater courage aud character, and have perhaps won wherein they failed, If they hud refrained from going to wai? In using foreo and striking back at the North for what they believed was a blow to their interests the election of Abraham Lincoln thy defeated the end they had in view and lost the game of politics at which they sta ed all and lost everything. The man who can refrain from striking buol; when templed to do so is the man who wins in the long run, tho' to resist the temptation may have in it for the time uu element of humiliation. In the political pow-wow had on the streets the past week two men had hot words. The He was given. Abuse followed vituperation. In the heut cf passion ouo man struck the other 'in the face. Tu the slang of the street, he smashed him on the jaw. The man who was hit was tho more powerful of the two. If the other had struck him that blow not on tho main street but in sonieotit-of-thu wny place, it would not have gone easy with him. The mau who received the stinging blow drew buck, quivered all over, partly rained ouo arm, mid turned away. The temptuliuu was to strike back. Ileoveicame It. Ho. was u mural hero. That man mastered Ids pus siou, which the other let get away witli him, and in doing so showed himself the greater man of tho two. He has ever Muce rievn in tho re spect of his friends. Ho has risen in ids own respect a thousand fold. Wo may feel brave for the moment, while our nmul parlous are aroused, and wo have the victim of cur MWer at our feet; It may feel good at the time we are saying a mean, cutting thing, but it tastes awful bud in the mouth afterwards and we feel ashamed of It. We feel inferior to tho best manhood aud womanhood every time we lower ourselves to striko back, or to allow a feeling of revenge to dictate our conduct. Tho inuii who will In the long ruu be most woefully left Is tho man who strives hurdet to et even wlih everyoiiu who does blm, an Injury. The man wh,a tried by his own uu- J aided might to right every wrung thutisdouo him will oq forced to the conclusion tba there, is very little justice In this world. A more than worldly-wise ouo once said: From him who would tako thy coat, withhold not thy cloak also. To hhn that would smite you ou tho right check, turn the left also. Wo cannot till literally fullill this. Wo cannot all love our enemies, and do good to thoso that halo us. Still less can wo bless those that curse us, or pray for thoso that despitefully use us. But we cm all see the phil osophy of jiot trying to get cvou with the man who does us an Injury In u world that Is so tull of injustlco as this present one is. Wo ought to try to do all these things but wo can be sure tlntt foreo will not right wrong and that if wo undertake to get square with everyone, who by mistake or evil Intent docs us an in jury, we havo uudcrlukett a profit less aud endless tusk. It Is far nobler to sutler Injury thau to tako the law in our own hands mid at tempt to play tho part of execution er and dispenser of, justice In our case. Our first disposition is to get even. Our best thought is to for bear. THK STRUXGTII OF rillSIi SILVER COINAOK. The dispatches for the past few days indicate that a free silver bill will have unusual strength In the lower House of congress. It is umtis lug to read ttio expie.-sions of sur prise that emanate from tho gold bug organs like the Oregonian, at tho remarkable strength of the free coinage men in the popular branch of congress. Accoidingto the tele grams it is said that all that might restrain tho republicans from pass lug a free silver coinage bill is the fear of a presidential veto. That will not be found any restraint whatever, because every well posted mau know that the policy of hos tility on the part of Cleveland's ad ministration to silver was what cost li'in the electoral vo'es of several states, and that the election in 1888 was hinged ou thcsllvcr question to ilio extent that President Harrison was pkdged q a free silver policy and thereupon received the solldsup port of the mining states. In all of his messages to t lie people and to congress blncu his nomination 1'resi dent Harrison has expressed him self friendly to silver coinage, lib policy Is accepted as tho ic verso of that of his democratic predecessor and the people so undeistood It In electing him. Any expression ol hostility on his part would be a breacli of good faith and his fate bis fore the people for a second term might be a mutter of doubt. The hope of a presidential veto is the lust straw that the gold I tea have to cling to aud that will turn out to be a delusion. Tho free coinage ol silver aud tho Issue of a larger amoupt of silver certificates is de manded by tho musses and they further demand that no secretaiy ol the treasury shall have control of the matter In the interest of the Wall street money speculators. The Journal has taken pains to sound the common people on this question and they tire unanimously of this sentiment and it is time the leaders of the party were finding this out If they have not already. The Wlndom bill was constructed lu the interest of thu-Wall street men. It has been modified a little but It should be laid aside com pletely. It is uota free coinage bill. It is still a measure to protect spec lal Inteiests aud tlioo Interests urv not tho people's interests. It is evident that the opponents of free silver are alarmed at tho popu lurityoftho measure in tho house, and aro taking desperate steps lo de feat It. They have not been In active tho past week. The silver men weie found so strong in the house caucus Unit a special com mittee has been orgunied, consist iiU of eight members of the coinage committee and seven new additional members of tho house, to frame a sliver bill for the caucus, This plainly shows that the Wlndom bill, even as amended, iIikh not meet wltn the approval of the republican majority and that a new and more liberal measure will have to bo pre sented lu order to puss. The eon centration of power In the hundsof tho goldbugs of Wall street Is doom ed to destruction, and the west will hereafter havo something to say about the finance policy of the gov ernment. Thuscoptru of financial power has passed from Now York and tho whole nation will have to lw consulted in tho fill lire.

The county courts havomide good pi-ogres toward tho building' of tho new bridge across tho Willumcltoat Salem. 'The bids have been opened and their respective merits liuvo been partly discussed. Thotnioat important part of tho worV Is 'now befoe the "coll Fls-fliaTtiTtfecId lug what kind of a bridge to build aud the letting of the contract, 'fills Is no easy task and the people wjil bo sutlslled If the courts act deliber ately and with great orudence aud fully protect the taxpayer agiiust jobbery of every description und against nil possibility of bad' work on tho part of tho successful con tractor. The custom bccuis to bo in voguo of allowing bidders to bid ou their own plans aud specifications. It will hu been aloucothat this practl is ouo that is opcu to some abuses against which courts must guard. While by this plan contractors can give the county tho benefit of'lower priees, the county does liotget tho fullest benefit of real competition after all. Sp tho courts have wUely decided to employ a consulting en gineer and have secured tho South ern I'aelllo lirido engineer, Mr. (Jroiiduhl, who Is believed to ho a competeut man. If tho courts re tain this competent nun to rovlso the plans mid spcclllcatlmts of tho successful bidder before the contract is let, and also retain this engineer, who'is supposed to bo ildlslutcrcstcd party, to seo to It that the con tractor compiles with the plans and specifications upoil which he has bid, then tho people will lutyo a fair show of getting an houcstly con stuicted bridge that w 111 stand. Ou a I'llty thousand dollar bridge tho courts can well aflord to spend a few thousand dollars In securing selohllllo supervision, and thus' do all that can be dno to protect tho taxpayers against Jobbery on "the one halid and ignoiauce and' poor material ah the other. The proposi tion to use tho old piers that aro now standing ou this bank had' bet ter lie well considered. There Is'no e lduuce that they are constructed of any butter miterial tlian thoso that Went down the stream, or that the stieam will not undermine i hem. It is Just on such points as .Huso that It Is well to go slow, avoid guess work, and save expense aud humili ation In (he future. The hridgojthat was built was no doubt intended to bo well built and tho contracts .were no doubt believed to have beeu hon estly executed. Let tho past ro uiuiu us it Is but let tho Interests of the people aud the tax-payers be more fujly protected against poor work in the future. Wo believe tho courts will be lully sustained In all measures of a precautionary nature that can bo taken in building the How bridge and that all will bo bet ter satisfied lu the end, If they do go a little slower but much suier.
