ANTIFKEK-8ILVF.lt BENTIMENT. While a majority of Democratic papers aro in favor of free silver coinage, some are not. "It can bebutau applo of discord in the Democratic camp." says the Charleston News. (Dem.), deprecat ing any expression in favor of free silver coinage in the national Demo emtio platform. The Nashville American, (Dem.) declares that "A freo silver cam paign would lose fur us the states of New York, Now Jersey and Con necticut, and guln us nothing. Tho lesson of tho late elections should not be lost on Democratic leaders. The victory, If won at all, must bo won with New York, the JNew England states and tho South, and to win It so free silver must not bo tlin f&nnn nf th putiinnliTn '' In the Democratic party are, of course, men who favor tho unlim. lted freo coinage of silver. There are muny Republicans also who favor It. But the majority of the Democratic party ond its leaders are influential men are in favor of honest money. This Is an old Dem ocratic principle which has always been maintained. The business men of tho United Stales need not, and they do not, fear any distur bance of our financial Interests for the worse, on the part of the Demo crats. The Democrats aro In favor of sound, honest money, as they have always been. Tribune, Sioux City, (Dem.) Neither party is bold enough to make silver Its paramount itsue, nor can either u fiord to wholly ignoie It. The man who builds his hout-e upon the sand is wlhO In . mpurleou lo a politician who btuuds on a silver platform. Every body is in favor of silver in some way, but w hen it comes to putting it in coin, udjusling it to tho mone tary standard of the world and the ever changing linauclal situation, it presents a poblem In the solution of which neither party can agree. Coin circulates everywhere, audits value is necessarily an international question. News, Charlotte, N. C, (Dem.) A VICTORY l'OIt TUB l'KOI'LE. The decision of the state olllcia) bard to mako tho tax levy upon the assessment rolls as revised by the state bourd of equalization is clearly a victory for the people. It Is a victory for tux reform and also for a body of good mon who worked hard for u month and their labors will bring into tho public coffers many thousand dollars from piop erty hitherto uujustly taxed or not taxed at all. The notable feature of tho coutest was the speech of Hon. L. Bllyeu of Eugene. He was thoroughly aroused to the injustice of the pro posed proceeding to ignore the work of the stato board of equalization of which he was a member. To Ignore that work upon a technicality would have been to uudermine the legality of every dollar of tuxes levied this year, and would have plunged the stato iu debt and turmoil. Mr. Bilycu saw this, came to tho rescue on a day's notice, uud, not having hoard the argsments of opposing counsel, sized up the situation in u powerful, logical legal argument that carried everything before It. Tjik Journal feels proud of Its record in tho mutter, It steadily upheld the work of the beard and lent Its Influence vigorously to (ire vent tho overthrow of that work. It chculaled live thousand copies of Mr. Bllyeu's speech upon tho burn ing question of tho hour, scattering them to every part of tho state. It did not wait until Tho Oregoulan hud taken snuff beforo it could sneeze like so many journals In this state that stein to bo bumpered by Its influence whenever a question of public Intcrist conns up, The pol icy of The Journal Is to fairly, fully and aggressively take tho hide of the people, "tho masses against thoclassts" on uny live public ques tion that comes up. Republicans may well be proud of the record of the two Republican members of tho ofllclal stato board In the matter. Becretary of Stato McBrido and State Treasurer Met schan deserve credit for unhesitat ingly doing their plain duty In sustuiulug the work of equalization. They will be remembered for it by the people when opportunity Jotters. UPHOLD TDK COMMISSION. The Oregon railroad commission has again shown what stud It Is made of. It has Juit found the Union Pacific guilty of cuunlog by negligence a wreck by which five Uvea were lost and u number wounded. Tho verdict and find lugs Iu the case are drawn up by the steady hand, clear head and good eye of Chairman Culvlg, A lo the Lubi&b wreck the con). mission state the cold facts about tho criminal negllgenco of the cor porations In a manner that leaves them no room for escape. As In the Lablsh case, this decision of the commission will cost tho company hundreds of thousands of dollars of damages for tho killed and wounded. Tho courts can show them no lenien cy after the representatives of the pcoplo in tho namo of the state declaro their negligence. Who will say the commission has not fear lessly dono Its duty? Who will pro tend tho Oregon railroad commis sion Is In tho service of tho corpora tions, as some of the Alliance papers have doue, we regret to say? Surely tho corporation managers can say to all suuh critics, savo us from such friendship! The Journal repeats what lthos often said and charged upon tho press of tho state to say tho pres ent commission deserves the sup port of tho peoplo of this slate re gardless of party. That is their duty if they wish a railroad com mission at all, or if they wish to retain any control or regulation whatever of these corporations. SUGGESTED COMMENT. Hoffman & Bates, Portland, got the contract for tho Walluskl bridge iu Clatsop county at $4150. Tho Wallawa Chleftlan edited by by F. M. McCulley endorses The Journal transportation plat form. All Interested In horticulture should make It a point to attend tho meeting of tho Marion County Fruit Grower's Ass'n at Balem next Tuesday and Wednesday. What has become of Oregon's world's fair eflort ? Biker Demo crat. That matter will have to be lntelllr gently handled In the ucxt legisla ture If at all. Tho Pacific Baptist thinks the first duty of a preacher Is to preach tho truth, '.and adds: "To preach the truth means to preach doctrine." It is neither truth nor doctrine tho apostles were Instructed to prcaoh, but they were Instructed to preach the Gospel to all nations. Pendleton E. O., (Dem:) Tho Salem Journal has been saying for a year: "Mako open rivers a political Isstio," and tho remark Is entitled to attention. An open river is needed in tho Willamette valley hs well as In Eastern Oregon. Tho efforts of Representative Hermann to seouro an appropria tion from congress to maintain u navigable channel In tho Willa mette to Eugene should recelvo tho hearty approval of tho peoplo of this county. At present there is no competition iu tho matter of freight carriage. Eugene Journal. All you want to do Is keep Mr. Hermann In congress a few terms moro and It will bo all closed. It is said that a warm fight is being waged Iu Salem by the frlonds of Geo. H. Burnett to defeat Judgo Holso for tho circuit judgshlp. If tho wishes of tho poople aro con sulted Judge Bolso will bo tho nomi nee, and It Is needless to add that he will bo elected. No circuit judgo in Oregon has servod his coustltu tents moro ably or with greater satis faction thau has Judgo Bolso during tho long terra ho has filled tho posi tion. Albuuy Herald.

Tho Stato university at Eugene has now n larger number of students than at any time In its history. Not only has it moro students but more professors, moro apparatus and Is better equipped In every depart ment. J. B. S.

The wheat grown on this land, If spread on tho surface, would occupy as great a depth us the soil has Leon cultivated La Urlnnp.

Senator Dolph had his bill for tho life pre serving station, near the mouth of the Itoguo river, put through with scarcely any opposition. Senator Mitchell's bill appropriating $325,000 for two revenue cutters on the Paclflo coast, was passed, but it caused considerable discussion, which was engaged in by four senators from the Pacific North west. Senator Dolph briefly ex plained tho provisions of the bill, and tho necessities of these cutters. Senator Alton said that tho cutters in tho Pacltlc Northwest were practically of no use. Ono for the coast was stationed at California, and tho olhor ono at Pugct sound. Tho latter was au old hulk which had beon rejected and decided to bo of no use whatever, but was put Into tho services becauso the treas ury department had nothing else. Ho claimed that thero was a good opportunity for smugglers to come In and also that Chinese and opium wero landed at various places on Pugct sound, and In spite of every eflort of tho customs officers to prevent. Tho Democrats of course opposed tho measure and claimed that tho revenuo marine was liable to bo transferred to tho navy, and It would bo a useless expenditure to build cutters, as largur vessels would bo&ecured. Sonator Mitchell suggested thut thero would not bo enough naval vessels at present to patrol tho coast aud suoh vessels as theso would havo to bo built anyway. Sonator Dolph said thero was 1000 miles of coast from tho south lino of California to Puget sound and over 1000 miles on Pugct sound which had to be protected, aud that tho facilities for Binuggllug were so good that it was carried on as a regu lar business. It was necessary to protect with the presont Inefficient cutter service tho many of tho coabt lines as well ns tho scaling interests iu Alaska. Ho also claimed that tho samo character of vessels would have to bo used If a transfer to tho navy was mado. Sonator Squire said ho was probably as familiar with the chcumstancesas any mau In tho senate, and ho knew that Chinese und opium wero smuggled In splto of every effort of tho col lector of the port of Puget sound to prevent It. Ho offered an amend ment to the bill Increasing tho speed from fifteen to elghteon knots an hour, und suggested that there wero smugglors on Puget sound with vessels capable of running seventeen kuots au hour. Tho peoplo of hla state wero tired of tho smuggling scandals, aud felt It was a disgrace that the Chinese could bo landed at $50 a head, iu spite of tho exclusion act. If tho government Intended to do unythiug by tho high tarlfl on opium uud the Chinese exclusion laws It should furulsh the treasury department with a sufficient revenue cutter servlco to stop what was now so openly carried on. Senator Fryo suld that It would be Impossible to iucrease tho speed of the vessels with that appropriation. Senator Allen stated that he was satisfied with the bill as it was, and If tho seuutore wero as familiar with tho situation of Puget sound and the Pud Ho coast In tho Northwest as ho was, they would readily seo tho necessity of constructing these ves sels. He referred to the fact that tho straits of Fuca were slxty-flvo miles long aud twelvo miles wide, each side densely timbered, afford ing good opportunity for smugglers to leave Vancouver Island and land opium and Chlueso on the Ameri can coast. Tho government must have cutters able to run down theso smugglers. After some further dis cussion of the matter, Senator Squire said that he did not care to endan ger the passage of tho bill as it now stood, he withdrew his amendment, and hoped ut some after time more fleet revenuo cutters would be built for tho service. Senator Mltohell suys he hopes his bill will go through the house even If the democrats are determined U mako a record for economy. npuair r ass age. Astoria, Jan. 14.
