fore court of Pretoria. Several mem
bers of the committee escaped. One
was allowed to depart after deposit
ing $100,000 of surety of his appearance

Is greatly Incensed at tardy and In
complete surrender by the ultlanders

stood tho Transvaal demands Include
annexation to the Boer republic of
Mntongaland, lately added to tho
colony of Natal, annulling of the con
vention of 1884 and institution (f and
enforcement of n pass port system

THE INT!
T SPONGE.
The demand. of the bankers to ret Ire
the greenback, alljpr certificates and
treasury notcsii not based upon
sound polltlcalwnomy. To legln
with, tho law wwvhcre- specifically
asserts that this paper money shall bo
redeemed In goWily. The law says
It must be rcdeemW In gold or sliver,
or silver only. Cleveland and Carllslo
propose to Issue gold bonds to buy gold
and destroy this ioo,000,000 or 000,.
000,000 of paper money, and let the
national banks Imuo their notes as
tho only paper money the people will
have. Tlte banksv would get their
bond Interest of 3 per cent of the gov
ernment nntl from 0 to 10 per cent
interest of tho people on their circu
lation, or about 10 or 12 per cent on
the banknotes that tho people would
U82. On $T00,000,000 for 20 years tho
interest spoil go would absorb exactly
1,000,000,000 interest. Is that correct ,or
is It not?
Wo say this is not sound political
economy. No wonder the bankers
and the Orcgonlnn cry out against
Joint Shormau when he shows that
both gold and silver,' not gold alone,
arc the basis of our currency system.
True political economy suggests that
a government furnish its pcoplo as
largo a volume of non-Interest bearing
currency as posslble.Mr. Carllslo and
tho bankers say thafTslIver bullion In
tho treasury has depreciated $100,000,
000 since 1801. But they never tell
tho peoplo that the currency which it
is now proposed to take up and Issue
Interest-bearing gold bonds has saved
tho pcoplo 2,000,000,000 of Inter
est In tlte last 30 years. They never
place that on the credit side of the
nation's ledger. They simply want to
enlarge tho suction power of tho
gold Interest sponge.
NEWS FROM THE MINES.
The Machinery Nearly All In A New
Route Proposed.
L. G, Iticsoner, who has been en
gaged for nearly a month hauling ma
chinery from Gatcsvllle to tho Quartz
vllle mines for tho Lawler syndicate
returned homo yesterday. Ho reports
that 30 4-horso teams have been at work
hauling machinery into tho mines.
About 100 tons were to bo hauled, all
of which Is completed except fifteen
tons, which Is near tho mines, and
will 1ms all hauled in In about two
weeks. About 28 tons of provisions
still remain to be taken up from
Gates.
Tho force of miners have been re
duced, as there Is about 300 tons of
ore ahead, which will make a three
months' run for tho machinery when
set up. The best ore is Just being
reached, and great results are looked
for In the spring.
T. N. Humphrey, of Foster, arrived
in tho city last evening, and reports
some points about tho mines that may
ultimately change the business aspect
of tho surrounding country. Ho says
tie most life In their little town
comes from the mines, und that they
have the best route to tho diggings.
The people of Foster are agitating tho
matter of building a good road to tho
mines In tho near future vlu the
prescat trail up tho middle fork of
the Santlam. They claim that a bet
ter grade can bo obtained on this
route than that on the north sldo of
tho mountain, which Is now being
used. This move would change tho
channel of trado from the mines to
Faster and Lebanon, from tho O. O.
& E. It. It. pohits. The Foster pco
plo have subscribed 400 days' work for
this road, but they will ilnd It a big
