Looking at the bill itself PETER said it

which was pooling. Under its terms the

LONG TALK IN THE SENATE.
George of Mississippi orates for Three
Days-Peffer Smells q Mice.

George of Mississippi Orates for Three
Days-Peffer Smells q Mice.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-George Of Mis-
sissippi yesterday in the senate closed q
speech on the anti-option bill which has
occupied three days to deliver-the speaker
taking up about all the time devoted to the
bill There is an opinion freely expressed
among the friends of the bill that its enc
mics mean to talk it to death. Georges
speech was in favor of the bill Much of
Georges argument yesterday was addressed
las on the two previous days. to an attack
upon the New York cotton exchange,
where he said falsehood and trickery were
used for the purpose of influencing prices,
and he quoted from the testimony of w.
Kneeland, a prominent member of the
New York produce exchange, before the
senate committee, in which this expression
is used, "They cannot get up bear lie that
I cannot get up bull lie to equal it"
The Plant of the Farmer.
In conclusion George said: "The cotton
raisers of this country, the wheat raisers,
the corn raisers. are entitled to some con-
alteration at the hands of the American
senate They have complained in their
conventions, their public meetings, their
kIduECo db0 1uCi AOASCS VI bLc
system They know that there has been
great depression, a great lowering of prices
They feel that their business has not onl,
become Improbable. but that it is prose
cuted at a loss. Mortgage is ON the home
stead: debt is pressing. They have tried,
again and again, to emancipate themselves
from the shackles of this future system
They find prices of their product going
lower and lower. They find that dealers
IN futures in New York and New Orleans
are increasing, year by year, their pur-
ehases of futures and decreasing their pur-
chases of real cotton They think if the
American people are to be considered as fit
for self-government we ought to conclude
that this measure is a proper one for them,
and that we ought to give it to them"
PETER Scents Railway Plot.
Whether the antioption bill will pass is
an open question. There is doubtless a

REPUBLICAN SENATOR'S CAUCUS.

Too Lively in Imagination

They Think German and His Colleagues
Too Lively in Imagination.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-Late last week
committee of Democratic senator's posted
off to New York 10 confer with the national
committee and other leaders regarding the
cases of close legislature out west. Cor
man was one, and as soon as he arrived in
the metropolis he gave it out coidn that
the object of the committee was 10 stop the
Republicans from stealing" few sena-
tors in the region of the cowboy and
"rustler." This unkind talk narrowed up
the feelings of the Republican senators
and yesterday they held caucus about
the matter, John Sherman presiding, and
indicated that they could say some unkind
things themselves.
Cannot Steal from the Democrats.
About the first thing that was said in the
discussion was that the Steering commit
tee" was looking after somebody else's lost
child, anyhow; there wasn't any Democrat
ic senators involved in the matter, because
there weren't any Democrats to speak OF in
the Legislature referred to- The steering
committee" had no foundation for the claim
that the Republicans were about to steal
the legislature from them, for the very
toned did the Democrat have S..t5,ci,...
votes to elect senator. Further infor1pa-
ton was given regarding the local situa-
ton in the vaNous states. 1t was shown
to the satisfaction Of the caucus that the
Democratic steering committee" had no
ground upon which to stand when ii gave
out the authorized interview in New York.
and in confederation of this some figures
were produced.
Democrats Uncommon Scarce.
In Nebraska, it was said by the speakers.
that the Democrats had but four members
in the entire legislature and in Kansas
but seventeen. In North Dakota the Re
publicans had a clear majority of nine in
both branches, ana IN Wyoming five In
California and Montana the vote is close.
with the Populists holding the balance of
power. II discussing these figures it was
said that the Only way the Democrats could
have an interest in the senatorships was bv
combining and bargaining and the Repub-
icans had a perfect right to block such
combines when they could. A committee
of five was ordered appointed finally to
decide what action the Republican senators
should take in the matter

There'H Be Only a Few of Us Left.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-In the latter
part of Fehuary, 1889 President Cleveland
extended civil service reform rules over the
railway mail and other branches of the gov
ernment. In this way he took in 1000
places, and this insured their positions to
nearly as many Democrats. President
Harrison will not wait so long He will
make exter sions early in January The
president is thinking OF taking in certain
branches of the treasury department. in
Guiding the Internal revenue offices and
the sub-treasuries He is also thinking of
extending the application OF the civil ser
vice completely over the letter carriers Il

changes with approval

showed that 1t was not President
Harrison's ultimatum that brought
Chill to order, but the manifesto of
Colonel Olmsted offering the presi-
deut the services Of a regiment Of
Oregon veterans mounted on Oregon
cayuses (great applause). Colonel
O!msted was called for from five
thousand .thrOais. He said: "They
heard that | had designated Con-
rade Caukins as quarter-mastsr of
that regiment. That settled it for
Chilli" Great laughter.)
! The toastmaster referred pleas.
antly to preceding speakers, aud
forgot not to tell them amid great
cheering that they had listened also
to the sweet music from Oregon 's
sweetest songstress.

was called on for a speech to "Our
Guests He too had to ascend the
platform and was equal to the oc-
casion. His illusions to the bum
mer were uprOariously applauded
by all present. He enlogized the
women who went to the front as
we'll as stayed at home, and also
paid a high tribute to the mothers
of the soldiers, who had proven
themselves greater army than ever
Napoleon led. Mr.. Browns speech
was eloquent and well received.
Miss A. Krebs' instrumental solo
was finely rendered, and Mrs. Jay G,
Smith recited "The Tragic Death of
Benedict Arnold in realistic man
ner. It. A. Stephens spoke on "The
Public Schools, the Hope of the
Nation" He advocated the teach
ing of more patriotism and some
thing besides mental culture, So
called. He said it was a shame for
this state to send boys from sixteen
to twenty.one years to the peniten-
tiary. The acquiring of knowledge
must be made more attractive to the
boys. Less than twenty per cent of
all boys in the United States ever
went to high school and not half
of those completed their course.
Taese Grand Army orders stood
pledged to uphold public education.
"By particular request" Miss
Krebs gave a violin solo, and If half
the young ladies of Salem are as
perfect masters of their beaux as
she is of her bow, the matrimonial
millennium of Leap year is at hand.
Rev Cue replied tn the toast "Our
Country and Our Flag" and his
speech seemed to be better than any
preceding. He paid his respects to
old England and he was upheld in
his sentiments expressed to The
very echo. 1t was the best and
biggest Grand Army speech of the
evening and il would be impossible
by any report to do justice to it. He
eugolized the harmony and ability
of the salem Grand Army men.
"The Sword of Bunker Hill" was
sung by Miss Parrish, and she was
again recalled.

WILL BUILD. - Operations will
begin next Monday on the new st.
Paul's African M. f. church in
North Sa'em. The lot has been
purchased, paid for and the deed
recorded. 7 he lumber IS on the
ground and the work of erection
will be we'll under way before an
other week, and during March it
will be completed. The financial
aid for this enterprise has all been
worked up by Rev. G.. w. White,
who arrived in Salem from the
California conference last Septem-
Der. He has now a flock of twenty
attendants at his preaching and a
regularly organized church, holding
services every Sunday at the Ger
man NJ. E. church of this city.
Mr.. White is a worker and never
has failed to build up a strong and
prosperous society wherever he has
taken hold. He enjoys the conf
dence of the Methodist organizations
of this city, and of all the churches
and ministers in fact. His patient
zeal and energy have won him
many friends among all classes, who
watch his enterprise with great
interest. He needs about $500 to
finish his church, and all who have
not assisted should give him con-
tributiOn.
