SALOON MEN KICKING.
Gambling Games Kunnlng at Several
Places.
The action of the city council In re
jecting one of the applications for a
saloon license, under the ordinance
that forbid b gambling, disorderly con
duct, etc., has caused a kick among the
saloon men at the discriminating man
ner in which the ordinance is enforced.
The saloon keepers are required ,to
pay 5400 a year, give a heavy bond for
good behavior and compliance with the
c ty law, which is very severe and has
heavy penalties attached, keep closed
Sundays and election days, permit no
gambling or minors, etc., etc. With
this they are all forced strictly to com
ply and do not generally .complain
thereat. But a prominent and old time
liquor retailer said this merning:
"It is well known that while we are
under strict police regulation 'and no
gambling is allowed, there are three
places in town where gambling la car
ried on extensively and games for
money are. run openly. This is unfair
to the rest of us. who are not Rllowjgd
any such 'prlvllegesr "four"" places are
empty while the city gets our money,
and the drug stores sell the most of the
whisky. We have got to get a change
or wo can't pay rent or beer bills."
WHERE THEY ABE.
Being pressed closer be said: "At
one favored saloon there Is a faro game
and a stud-poker game. It has elegant
gambling rooms that are crowded with
visitors day and night. Two cigar
stores run draw-poker and stud-poker
games where respectable citizens and
young men and boys congregate day
and night. Foos, solo, cinch, whist
and poker are played for money, chips,
cigars. Ail the same it is gambling.
Give us all the same chance and we
will not complain.
"But to make fish of one and flesh
of another is a fraud upon us who as
a set of men are the city's main source
of reeenue. Let the council consider
these" matters and realize what Is going
on right under its nose.

QBORQIA POLITICS.
Atlanta, ua., Hept. 8. A mass
meeting of Democrats was bold in this
city last evening. The principal feat
ures were the speeches of Speaker
Crisp, reviewing the work of congres?,
aud of Secretary Hoko Smith against
free coinage of silver.
Speaker Crisp declared his personal
preference for free coluage of silver,
Tho speaker then reviewed tho evils
that would ensue in the event of free
coinage of silver. He charged the
Harrison admlBhtratiou with being re
sponsible for the condition of the treas
ury which lei) in part to the panic last
year, which was one of falling reve
nues. During the Republican admin
Istration the expenditures increased at
the rate of f 60,000,000 a year, while the
revenues decreased more tban $18,000,
000 annually. Mr. Cleveland retired,
leaviug a surplus of (230,000,000 in the
treasury. Four years of- Republican
misrule reduced the surplus to $62,450,-
000, with charges fixed for the ensuing
year amounting in round numbers to
(03,000,000 in excess of the revenues.
The repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman bill stopped the panfo

RIDICULOUS TE0HNIOALITI8.
The points relied on by Judge More
land In arguing before the supreme
court, against enjoining the state offi
cials from building an asylum In East
ern Oregon, are ridiculously technical.
If Eastern Oregon has no more to rely
upon than he adduced from the points
In his brief, that section wilt never get
an asylum.
His first point was that the bill did
not provide for a separate public insti
tution, but only a "branch." Hence
be argued, the words of the constltn
tlon "that all the public institutions of
"the stale hereafter provided by the
"legislative assembly shall be located
"at the seat of government," did not
apply. It would bo a "branch" In
stitution. But It would not be "pub
lic" iu tho sense of the constitution,
The asylum at Salem is a public In
stitution. Its branch" in Union
county would not be a public branch.
This. Is' splitting a hair between the
south and the southwest side. Only a
fine lawyer could split a thing so fine.
Eastern Oregon getting an asylum
hangs by a split hair, as it were.
The next point he relies upon is
stated thus fu bis brief;
' "The statute has provided for certain
cases where a relator can call In the
power of tho slate, and in tho cases
specified in the law, and In those pnly,
can this nower be called Into exercise.
The courts cannot supply what the leg

HIS SENSATIONAL SPEECH AT A BANQUET.
OppoelUoji of tke Praeelaa Hobility
to Their King.
Bkklin, Sept. 8.- Emperor William
made a sensational speech at a state
banquet, at which the king of Wurtem
burg was the principal guest, He bad
previously struck from the list of guests
tho name of Count von Mlrbach and
Count von Kanlfz, and General Kllt-
zulng and Bandlw. The two latter
were subsequently restored. Emperor
William's ict plainly marked his die-
pleasure at the attitude of the persons
named upon the agrarian question ,
This is confirmed by the feet that re
cently the emperor decorated Count
von DoenhorT with the order of the
lied Eagle. Count von DotuboH was
expelled last May from a cottvereatlve
union beoattee be voted for the Rueso
Gorman commercial treaty In the rich
stf. Emperor Wllllasa approved the
count's actiofl. After the emperor had
toasted the king ot Wurtewburg and
the latter had rsepoded, his isspetM
majesty mdt a speech whtehesHMd
the deepest hwprsssJo. After a few
words of thanks for bis mceptlo, the
emperor said i

that under this condition doubt has
arisen in regard to my promises and oh
to whether I bhoti'd be able to keep

to observe, with n sor hen't, that in
the cl.clei t,f tha nobility stindlng

were nilsumlen-to d. mid to a certain
extent, coin batted. Nay, more, word
of opposition has been brought to my
ears. Gentlemen, the opposition of
Prussian noblemen to their king U a.
monstrosity. They are Jmtlfied lu
forming an opposition only nhtn they
know the king to be at their head.
This Is a lewon t mjht by the hUtory
of our ojuutry. H.v often tuvo my
ancestors had to sat themielvea against
misguided members of that olo&j fir
the welfare of tho whole o immunity.
Toe suoceasor of hhn, who, by his own
right, became sovereign duko of Prus
sia, will follow the same path as his
great ancestor, and as once the first
king ot Prussia said, 'Ex me mea nata
oorona,' and as his great sou established
his authority, so I represent, like ray
imperial grandsire, the kingdom by
the grace of God.
'T shall continue iu my constant en
deavors and the next budget will af

old maxim, 'noblesee oblige.' A stir
ring ceremony passed before our
eyes Tuesday. Before us stands
the statue of William I. the imperial
sword uplifted in his right hand, the
symbol of law and order. It reminds
joe'Of the arduous struggle, which bus
designs against the very foundation of

gentlemen, It is to you I this day ad

against the parties of revolution. As
the ivy winds itself arousd the oak,
