The democratic state convention did
an ungracious act in refusing to send
Governor Pennoyer to the National con-
vention or to do him the 6attering, if
harmless complaint of adopting a resolu-
ton instructing the delegation to present
his name as Oregon's candidate for a
place ON the national ticket. If there is
any peculiar glory attaching to the Or
egon democracy Governor Pennoyer has
won that glory for his party. If any
democrat holds Office in state republi-
can by 1000 majority, he owes it to the
prestege and popularity of a man whose
honesty and integrity are as far above
those of the average politician as heaven
is above hades. Governor Pennoyer
may be eccentric, he may have notions
at variance with his party on questions
of public policy but he is the democratic
governor of great republican state and
he won his honors, not by any of the
adventitious circumstances that so often
place the candidate of minority in Of
flee, but by the sheer force of his own
personal popularity. 1t was bad poll
tics to slap such a man in the face and
that it was done by democratic con-
vention only proves that the convention
was more influenced by policy than
gratitude. The Oregon democracy has
gone chasing after the fetch of Cleve-
landism and Pennoyer's knees are too
stiff to worship the Stuffed Prophet.
That accounts for the ungrateful action
of the state convention.

Wool is less than half the price it was
20 years ago. In 1872 the price of col
onial woods in London was $133 per bale.
The same wool today sells for $66. The
decline has been steady and nearly uni
form. This decline is easily accounted
for. In 1870 Australia produced only
134 200, 600 pounds of wool. In 1890 the
product was 265, ,0O0, 900, almost double
the production of 1870. The Argentine
Republic in 1870 produced 167 200, ,0OO
pounds; in 1890 295 600, 900. The United
States, in 1880, produced 1877 ZOO, ,0Oo
pounds; in 1890 271 900, 900 pounds
With this enormous increase, vastly ex-
s. ceeding the increased demand, is it any
wonder that the price of wool has de.
clined? No tariff law on earth can con.
travene the law of supply and demand
at the same time the tariff law of the
United States is the only thing that hai
maintained wool raising among the
profitable industries of the country.

Foreign wool has declined 30 per cent.
within year. At recent London col
onial wool sales prices declined 5 per
cent. below the previous auctions which
were the lowest ever reached in Europe.
American woods have declined 10 per
cent. within year. The protection af-
forded to American woods is the only
thing that has not made their decline
equal to that of foreign wool. Remove
this protection and the 20 per cent diff
ference would vanish and the wool in
dustry of the United States would be in
as bad condition as the cotton indus
try of the South. We cannot compete
with countries that can produce wool
profitably at seven or eight cents a
pound

1t is greatly to be desired and
hoped that our efficient and at
tentive law officers will turn their
attention to the arrest of youthful
disturbers of the peace, the like
of whom so frequently engage in
fighting on the streets. And the
molly crowd who surround the
combatants to view the contest or
to urge on the fight should also
be arrested and punished, for
they are equally as culpable rs in
tractors of the law. A few doses
of fine or imprisonment would
soon cure the moral malady that

The Silver Issaes


The sudden and unexpected en-
actmcnt by the Senate OF the bill
providing free and unlimited
coinage of silver is II wonderful
evidence Of the Importance ac-
corded by the American people to
silver as one OF the functions i'll
the national financial problem.
The gold reserve in the Treas
ury ut Washington is only 500,
0OO, 900, Il smaller sum than has
been on hand ut any time since
the disturbed state of finances
caused by the civil war, while
$44S 900, 900 of silver dollars and
bars in the treasury are only good
for silver debts, and cannot be
paid out for any other obligations.
The gold reserve is steadily de-
| creasing, and while so long as
there is no great disturbance III
the financial world the United
States can get along very we'll on
a basis of confidence, it really has
nothing but confidence in its ex-
Extraordinary resources to maintain
its credit. Should there be any
possibility Of IL financial cyclone
in Europe, such as war or serious
social disorder would produce,
American securities would come
to us for conversion or rcdemp-
ton with such rap,dity as that the
ability of this country to meet the
demand would be strained most
seriously. Having deprecated
our silver product by degrading
1t from authoritative money to
the position of an article to be de-
posted in warehouses on :, basis
of certificate credit, the country
is deprived of all power to use
silver IN the payment of its debts.
The silver men of the West,
taking advantage of the situation,
have forced the issue of making
silver authoritative money for all
purposes, and have won i'll the
Senate. What they can do in the
House remains to be seen. Both
of the great parties in their plat
forms rather str,sddlc, the silver
issue, but AS platforms practically
mean nothing, the party fortunes
will not be seriously affected by it.
The Western and Southern Dem
ocrats are in favor of the silver
bill. but they will not desert the
party for any plank that may be
put up at the Omaha Convention
tomorrow. If the Democratic
House should pass the silver bill
as Democratic measure it will
help the party in the West, while
good. 1t will be difficult to stave
off the consideration of the silver
bill now in the uousc.-Pico.

The Illinois Central.

The recent purchase . f the VAL
Icy road by the Illinois Central Is
doubtless one of the most impor-
tant and encouraging episodes for
this section that has ever occurred,
and one that is calculated to in
fuse new energy and hope by
opening a field for enterprise in
manufacturing and agricultural
development.
1t has been the characteristic
design Of this great corporation,
with far sighted appreciation of
results, to develop every section
of the country into which 1t pen
gion both in Illinois and Central
Mississippi through which its
road runs.
It's work has been for develop
ment in order to contribute to its
carriage both in freights and pas
sengers, and that development
has been mutually advantageous
to the people and the corpora
ton
In connection with this, VIC
make the following extract from
the Memphis Public Ledger:
1t has been suggested by Mr.
j. p. Jordon to the Young Men $
Business League that weather.
eye be kept on the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad officials, SO that
when they come to Memphis a
handsome reception may be ten
dered them,
81 believe the purchase of the
Louisville, New Orleans Texas
Road by the Illinois Central Com
pany will prove fine thing for
Memphis. 1t is the policy of the
latter company to build up the
country along Its lines with a class
of people who have the proper idea
of development. Through its for
eign stockholders 1t is in close
touch with the immigration move
ment from Europe, and can turn
he tide in its direction. Those
people are practical small farm
ers, and would soon convert the
Mississippi and Yazoo Delta coun-
try into a veritable garden spot.
That what l want to see, and it
cannot be done without benefit
ing Memphis immensely. 1t is
reasonable to suppose the Illinois
Central Company will not aban-
don this policy in the operation
of the Valley Road, for it affords
a finer field for 1t than that trav-
ersed by any other lines"
The above advice is applicable
to business men of Natchez. and
the Illinois Central may be the
stroke that will unlock enterprise
in industries and bring into culti-
vation lands along its line now
unproductive-
The long looked for 1mmigra-
ton may be realized if the people
along the line of the road will ex-
hibit sincere desire for it by
holding their lands at prices just
and reasonable, bearing in mind
that every acre made profitable
by the location of thrifty immi-
grants doubles the value of every
other acre.
