full page portrait of the poet Longfe.

the finest piece of engraving ever done
on the Pacific Coast The publishers
have not spared time, trouble, or money
in making this picture the best that
could be produced. Prof Sill has in
the body of the magazine an article on
the dead poet that is at once discerning
and appreciative.
A profusely illustrated series of
"Studies of the California Missions" by
Francis +. Victor is begun in this num-
Der. So much that is romantic and fas-
cinating in the earlier history of Cali
fornia is connected with the Missions,
that these articles will prove of unusual
interest Pictures are given of the Mis-
sions San Gabriel, San Luis Obispo,
Carmel, San Diego, San Buenaventura,
and San Juan Capistrano. That of the
Carmel Mission is full page sketch by
the well known artist William Keith.
A character poem by j. Russell Fisher is
also accompanied by spirited engrav-
ing, "Only Tramp"

titled The Lost Jeanette" and there

HOW THEY VIEW IT.

Some of our exchanges that have
taken issue with the ARGUS upon
the Chinese question have expressed
rather peculiar views. The Gore
gopian" says in very condescend
ing manner that SIT would be inter
esting if worth while," to ascertain
whore the ARGUS got its information
that the "Oregonian" censured the
Presidents veto because it would
lose votes for the republican party.
A little farther on the same paper
mildly insinuates that we are under
nav or pressure of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company which makes
money out of the Chinese immigra.
tion. And after this TREMENDOUS
effort the ponderous intellect swayed
uneasiiy thinking that there might
not be sufficient weight on the other
side of the globe to keep it from
tipping over. Three or four years
ago, when we criticised the Gore
gonian's" unjust attacks upon ex.
Senator Mitchell VINO was at that
time representing Pacific coast in
terest in the U. S. Senate, that paper
came to the front with the most as
tounding(?) argument in its own be-
half by charging that the ARGUS
was "published under the shallow Of
the Port Townsend custom house."
Of course the logic was conclusive.
No sane man could possibly resist
such able handling of the question
in issue. Now, when there is diff
ferent purpose ia view, it is the P.
NJ. S. S. Co. that unduly influences
us. Indeed it would be hard to con
ceive of case where the "only
newspaper" of the northwest would
fail to find a convenient plan for
charging mercenary motives upon
its opponents. Such arguments OF
course demonstrate its profound
ability, and prove conclusively that
its position is the correct one (0 1t

the tone Of the "Oregonian," and

He may have intended only to refer
to the matter incidentally, but if he
did his meaning was certainly very
cIumsily conveyed, At least it is

We clip the following from the Des

"Gov. st. John OF Kan. delivered the

in. The Governor OF Iowa would
not appear on the platform with him,

Startling lnterrogaiories BY Senate
EdmGnds.

In discussing the Vest amendment
to the Sherman refunding bill Sena-
tor Edmunds OF Vermont proposed a
few questions to Mr.. Beck which
startled the world, not because OF the
profound thought required to ans
wer them but that Il man who here
tofore had devoted himself to steal
ing the presidency should seek in
formation on so important a topic as
the national finances. The great
monopoly organ OF our state, the
Iowa State Register goes into costa
cies over the profundity of these in
terogatories, and exultingly pro-
claims them unanswerable. The
first OF these formidable questions
has been so often and so fully an
swered that the wonder is that
the great monopoly organ
Of the state is ignorant OF the fact
indeed the wonder is that it has not
stolen the reply and palmed it of on
IN unsuspecting public rs its own.
This is the question Edmunds asks
which 50 astounds it:
What do you propose 70 put in
the place OF tho national banks for
supplying the people with the need

1t Is proposed that the government

The next question that has 50 graf
flied the Register Is:

eminent shall 60 into the banking

Mercy! no. On the contrary We
propose that the government shall
exercise its exclusive prerogative,
perform the single duty under the
constitution confldcd to it in its SOW
ereign capacity Of providing the peo-
pie with the money they use, be tho
material what it may, and that in
the exercise Of this function 1t pre-
vent the banks, and all corporations
or individuals from going into the
government business, OF coming and
issuing money, or any substitutes for
money, under any pretext whatever.
All the other questions OF Senator
Edmunds about state banks IRE fully
answered in the foregoing, and II the
State Register will take time to mem
orize them for future use it will save
itself from exposure OF its coward
ice and ignorance upon topics OF
which it ought to be informed.

THE CALL.

The Gull issued to tho American
people for a national convention
meets with our entire appreciation,
and should have the earnest endeav-
ors OF all pntrioti., men to insure
its complete success. The following
article from the indianapolis Sun
fully expresses our views and we i'd
opt it instead Of preparing an article
OF our own:
"The New York Sentry Is, We are
sorry to shy, opposed to the call for
convention. The editor thinks the
fact that democrats and republicans
are signing the call is reason for
opposing It. Yet the Sentry, like oil
other greenback papers, is constant
" calling upon these same democrats
and republicans to come into the
grcenback party.
1t appears to us to be piece OF
folly which, In another than the ven
cradle publisher OF the Sentry. VIC
should be temp ted to characterize as
'boyish,' to organize party. invite
those OF the old parties to join us. and
then grumhle because they express
ed their anxiety to do SO by signing
q paper stating the fact that they re-
garded the old party to which they
had belonged as having lived its day
and being no longer entitled to their
support.
II the new party is to succeed 1t
must be by obtaining the support Of
those who are now democrats and
republicans, thousands and tens Of
thousands Of whom IRE now coming
into the national party by way OF the
call.
We have received more acccssions
to our ranks in Indiana through the
signing ofthis call in the last 60 days
than we have received before IN two
years.
Our friend OF the Sentry must re-
member that men are men, not gods,
and that when they surrender their
opinions, or their arms, they wish
to do SO in what to them appears an
honorable why.

that . man should be publicly humil-
