This week 4000 copies "The Silver Weekly Journal" go out to the . leading Silver men of all parties In Oregon. There Is not a day in the year when The Jouiwais mall ordes arc not as large as Its entire local sub scription business, which Is larger than any dally paper ever printed In 'Oregon. We do not say this to boast but to show that we believe In mod ern method and In fully occupying tiw ri'll oi 'lurlltu of bJJlnoas. Two events of local Interest de serve the most generous public appreciation-Willamette Field day, M iy 22, and Memorial day, May 31. On both occasions there wll. bo large crowds of people if. the city and our citizens and business people should be prepared to do their best towards making thesj days a local success. On Field day.Salcm will have easily 2,000 visitors, and on Memorial day 5,000 people will tw In the city, If the weather conditions are favorable. Baleen always does her part well, but In these times, whet: we arc all look ing forward to moro hopeful bmlness. conditions, we should make a special effort to keep up the reputation of the . city.

Asan Insurance man Glenn Is notorious aroorxr Insuranco men as a "rebater." He was fined by the local Insurance board $25 for Im proper rebating apd the district board suitalncd them. If there was no re b ite on the J50 Glenn bill for 122,500 1 isuranco why were not the oilier bills for -Insurance paid in advance also ? , The least the county commissioner's court can do Is to get this badly mud dled insurance transaction clearly upon their own county court record That a bill against the county should be allowed and ordered paid by the cjunty Judge before it is ever filed with the couuty clerk Is strange, to siy the least. The Journal does not wish to condemn the personal integ rity or. cither of the three ofllclals of the county court but no condemnation can be too seycre of sucii a careless, tlovcnly and crooked manner of trans acting public business. CONGRESSIONAL. (Continued from first page.) i. H. IM, voters recent May 22 will be the first political event of the scasontho meet ing of the People's party county ccn- tral committee at Halcm. Important uvittcrsuro comlng.bcforo tho commit tee und the question of nrranging for a conference of silver and reform ele ments nt a later date will como up. There Is very urgent need of a strong union of tho opposition forces iri Marlon-county. If it Is not brought about voters are going to bo all at sea and will diYldo up Into several silver and reform parties or yotc with tho Republicans or not voto at all. The .Journal believes tho people want a genuine reform movement but unless 'it Is a Pcoplo's movement, or iginating from tho people, controlled by the people and conducted for tho people, tlicy will not sustain It. All authority and political power is vested primarily In tho people and they arc tired of too much lwsslsm and machinery In all parties. Man agers of political parties will do woll to mako noto of tills feeling. A dictatorship ovor Domooracy, or a boss-ridden People's party, Is as odious as Mark Ilannalzcd Republi canism and is not a whit better. Thousands of taxpayers want a now deal In tho Interest of tho people founded on cotnmon honesty and less fcltishncss. rs - Placing all tho county Insuranco practically with one company, and paying au agent $150 four months be fore It was duo to enable him to rc moyotoBpokano Is still tho talk of tlio town.

Instead of looking to Chapman, he 6ald the sen ate might better call on Havemcyer and other sugar trust grandees. Itefcrring to the last Investigation, he said: "We want to know whether our committee was bought, and punish them and tho men who bought them." The Morgan resolution formally went over until 2 o'clock Tuesday by request of Senator Morgan, and the debate on the Chapman resolution proceeded. The resolution finally was referred to the Judiciary committee. Senator Galllnger introduced a joint resolution appropriation $50,000 for the relief of suffering Americans In Cuba, The resolution went to the foreign relations committee. TARIFF DEBATE. The senate committee on finance reached an understanding by which It.was practically sgreed that tho de bate on the tariff bill should begin Monday, the 24th Inst. Senator Aldrlch will call up the bill on Tuesday of next week for the purpose of making a staiemeru. There will be no further effort to get tho bill up until the following Mon day. Tills consession was made out of deference to the wlsiics or ine Democratic members and because of the delay In getting comparative statements in shape. CUBAN MATTERS. There, was a sudden and violent outbreak of Cuban sentiment at the capitol, and during the early hours the drift of opinion was strongly toward speedy radical action by both congress and the executive, dud later there was somewhat of a re action, upon Its becoming known that the president, while keenly alive to the situation and anxious to learn cyery thing possible that could guide his conduct of our Cuban and Spanish relations, felt that further informa tion was necessary, and for immedi ate and present question was not one of recognition of tho belligerency or Independencoof the Cuban insurgents but of Cuban relief for the American citizens, destitute and helpless In the towns of the queen of the Antilles. The foreign relations committee, It should bo stated, while agreeing with tho necessary relief for the suffering American, is favorable to more rad ical measures and a number of Its members arc earnestly desirous of in stant action by the executive in aid of ttic Insurgents, but have not suc ceded in converting tho administra tion to their views, that present action Is appropriate and imperative. President McKlnley devoted two hours to listening to nn unofficial re port on the Cuban situation by Edwin T. Atkyns, of Boston, who was ex tensive BUgar plantations in Cuba, and has Just returned from the Island. Atkyns is a warm personal friend of Secretary Long, who accompanied him to tho White House. Tho president sent for Judgo Day, assistant secre tary of tho state, and tho distin guished trio for two hours listened to Atkyns' cxposltlsn of tho Cuban sit uation, &s indicted by the military operations and with relation to Amer ican Intorcsts on tho island. iurlng tho conference all visitors were ex cluded, many senators aud representa tives bolng denied admission. It Is not known what Atkyns said to tho president, but there Is reason to bellovo that his representations fa vored tho Insurgents, Atkyns, during tho curly (part of tho war. was In clined to tako tho pro-Spanish sldo of tho controversy, but it is asserted ho Is now convinced tho Interests of tho Island demand a victory by tho insur gents. Tho president is gathering all tho Information obtainable on tho Cuban question, and In light of this and tho report of Calhoun, now In Havana, willdeoldo on a courso of action. Tho delay by the senate commlltco on foreign relations in taking action on tho Cuban question until Monday Is for tlio purpose of giving tho presi dent nn opportunity to act. Repre sentations hayo been mado to him that there la necessity for Immcdlato action, It has also been represented that recognition ought to bo by tho executive and not by the legislative branch of the government. The president has been urged to take some stepslooking to thcrellef ef starving Americans In Cuba. It Is the belief of the members of the com mittee that the president will take action before Monday, but If nothing Is done by that time there Is no doubt the committee will urge the Morgan resolution in the strongest terms pos sible. Some members may raise a constitutional question against It, but will not press it. Members of the foreign relations committee have recommended to the president that if It Is necessary to secure the lauding of food and .cloth ing to relieve the starving Americans thcyshoul be accompanied by Ameri can warships. The committee has a list-of over 100 American cltzens said to be starving. They arc represented to be corraled in towns and unable to get food, even if the means to procure it. The cor respondence represents that there arc thousauds of Cubans in this situation The senate committee on foreign re lations today had the Cuban question under consideration on the basis of the subcommittee appointed yester day to confer with the president and Secretary Sherman. The report was prepared by Davis and Foraker, Re publican members, Morgan the Dem ocratic member, declining to partic ipate in it. The report consists of a concise statements of the contents of the offi cial reports from the American con suls in Cuba bringing information up to within a week. This report con firms the newspaper reports as to that situation on the island, and even goes farther in depicting the deplorable situation than do most of the news paper stories. It is positively stated that hundreds are in a starving con dition and wretchedly clothed. Deaths of Americans from starvation are dally reported. Americans are scat tered in all parts of the island, and are shown no consideration whatever bccause'of their American citizenship. How's This !
