THE OREGON ELECTION.
Peoples Party Gains Cheering New
From Washington.

Peoples Party Gains Cheering News
From Washington.
The Omaha World-Herald has the
following interview with Paul Wander
WORT, ex-national commander of the
G. A. R., who has come back from a
speech making trip to Oregon and
Washington in behalf of the third
party.
What is the result of the Oregon
election?"
''The peoples party two months ago
had no organization. Since that time
the state has been thoroughly can
vassed, and we have polled over one
fourth of the votes of the state, or over
$4,000, carried three or four counties,
elected one state senator and several
members of the house and many county
officers, and are now ready for the fight
for the electors in November, with
splendid prospects of success. The
Oregonian says the party polled much
largar vote than was expected, and it
indicates the break up of the old
parties"
''You were in Washington?"
eyes: in two places only-Goldendale
and Walla Walla. The state of Wash
ington is better organized than Oregon
and will show grand result III the
election in November"
''Is it true that Gov. Pennoyer, of
Oregon, has come over to the peoples
party?"
THAT is true. He made a grand
speech at Albina announcing the
change, and circulated it all over the
state. He will be in Omaha to our con-
vention if nothing prevents.-Missouri

has been given unlimited power.
The New York legislature has just
given school suffrage to women and the
bill has been signed by Gov. Flower.
Over half the states now permit women
to exercise the privilege of voting on
all matters connected with the public
schools Two women delegates from
Wyoming had seats in the Minneapolis
convention. II it had been said four
years ago that women would vote this
year in q national presidential conven-
ton it would not have been credited.
1t would not be surprising if one or
more additional states should be
ready to send woman delegates
four years hence. By vote
on woman suffrage in the British
house of commons, a few days ago, it
was lost by majority Of IS out of 327
votes, notwithstanding Gladstone came
out with a letter in opposition The
Woman's Liberal league, of England, is
a powerful political factor, and Glad
stone is its president 1t is believed
that he has made serious mistake.
No person who follows this question
closely, watching the indications in all
quarters, can fail to be impressed with
the belief that public sentiment is
growing in its favor, and that it is slow
ly, but steadily gaining grounds in all
quarters Firemen's Maga-

las will secure the maintenanoe OF
the parity of values of the two metals."
The parity of the value" Of the two
metals is the market value of gold and
silver bullion The parity Of the value"
of the two coins is the debtpaying
legal-tender value, both of which are
at par.
Now, can any human being outside,
or inside, of a madhouse or a lunatio
asylum tell what these astute repub-
ncan necromancers mean by parity
OF the value of the two metals" and
then adding that the purchasing and
debt-paying power . shall be at
all times equal?"
And then comes the SOP to the farm
srs and workingmen,. with the CATCH
word that every dollar shall be as
good as any other dollar" It reminds
us of the old darkey's remark that
every man is just a. good as another,
If not little better"
As a matter of fact, the gold dollar Ii
the only one that is too good for farm
ers and workingmen." It is too good
for old soldiers and the widows and or
phans of dead soldiers. But it is just
the trick for Shylocks and government
bondholders
For thirty years this self-same repub-
lican party has been handing out what
it calls the good dollars" the "honest
dollars" the '100-cent dollars" to un-
taxed bondholders, while to farmers
and workingmen" it gave what 1t calls
the cheap dollars" the dishonest dol
lars" the ''70-cent dollars" And now,
farmers and workingmen," of with
your hats, on with your monkey uni
forms; fall into line and 'rah for the
g. o. p!
And then, at last, comes the trump
card, the international conference!
That is going to fix things up all
right-but it can't be fixed until after
election! Been trying for twenty years
to fix it, and only just thought how to
do it-a few months before election,
and that by an international confer
ence' Happy thought! VIII some one
kindly look up Washington's farewell
address, and see what he says about
''entangling alliances with foreign
countries!
Will all those who believe in con-
sulting the Shylock-cursed, monarch
ical governments Of Europe as to what
sort of money we shall use in the
American republic, please hold up their
hands!
So much for the republican silver
plank.
But one thing they have overlooked,
and that is the fact that there are two
or three millions Of people in the
United States who know two much
about the money question to be fooled
with any such ''slush" and chat"
The peoples party folks are going to
have lots of fun with that silver plank
between now and next November, and
don't you forget it.-Chicago Sentinel.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
1t Is Steadily and Surely Winning It's Way
to a Final Recognition and Will Finally
Win,

1t Is Steadily and Surely Winning It's Way
to Final Recognition and Will Finally
Win.
The past month has witnessed con-
siderable encouragement for the cause
of woman suffrage. Bills have been in
troduced into many legislatures
throughout the country and, while
they have failed to pass, they have
been lost in most cases by very small
majorities. Opponents of the move
ment point to these continued defeats
as evidence that it is forlorn hope,
but those who have advocated this
measure for years know that at first it
was impossible even to obtain hear
ing and that they were insulted when
they attempted it. Finally they were
permitted to speak in committee rooms
before the few who collected from curl
osity. Then they were invited to ad-
dress the legislatures. At last they
succeeded occasionally in getting
vote, but were defeated by
large majority. Now the
question comes to vote each winter with
the majorities against it growing
smaller every year, sometimes only from
one to half dozen. 1t is great issue,
that of enfranchising twenty millions
of people, especially when it involves so
many problems as that of woman suf.
frage. 1t means, in many respects the
overturning of the customs of all the
ages, and it is not surprising that it
makes progress slowly. smaller re-
forms have been obtained only through
revolution and bloodshed
The Illinois legislature last year con-
ferred school suffrage on women. When
they attempted to vote in Chicago. a
short time after, for county superin-
tendent, it was decided that 1t could
not be done, because this officer was
especially mentioned in the state con-
stitution as having to be elected by
male voters. This decision did not
apply, however, to any other school
officials, and this spring the women
have voted very extensively throughout
the state In may places fifty per cent
OF the vote was polled by women No
where was there the least disturbance
and the experiment was universally
pronounced success The Central
Christian Advocate, a most conserva-
tive paper, says:
"We have read the press dispatches
closely, and fail to observe that any of
these women unsexed themselves by
exercising the right of franchise, or
were even so accused. Nor does it ap-
pear that their husbands went hungry.
or their children were not properly
cared for, or that the familiar basket of
undarned stockings suffered from long
neglect"
But these arguments have been laid
on the shelf Women are doing much
OF the worlds work nowadays, and do
ing it well, and managing to take just
as good care of their husbands and chill
dren as their mothers and grs ldmothers
did. The suffrage will give them ad-
ditional power to protect the home and
loved ones. Evil has been allowed to
assume great proportions. because the
vast majority of the moral and religious
element has been prevented from exer-
cisin0 control while the vicious alsment

Stumbled ON the Truth.

The silver plank of the republican
convention Is an exact counterpart of
Garrard's silver plank in the Georgia
democratic platform. The Constitution
says: THE republican silver plank is
intended to deceive the people 1t is q
s'f.-Idle which means nothing-e piece
of grinning hypocrisy that ought to be
revolving to all honest people"
The Constitution stumbled on the
truth for once. There is no doubt but
what all honest people are disgusted
with the hypocrisy Of the republican
party. But why shouldn't our people
be equally disgusted with the silver
plank Of the late democratic party of
Georgia. It is fac smile of the re-
publican silver plank. We believe they
are, and every mail convinces US Of the
truth of this statement
The only thing that the Georgia DEM
ocracy could offer the people was q re-
publican silver plank.

THE Two-HEADED WHAT is 1T

The Silver Plank In the Republican Plat
form IL Fearfully Constructed and Won
derfully Made.
The silver plank of the republican
platform may be aptly described as
something 'fearfully and wonderfully
made" Here it is:
The American people, from tradition and in
terest favor bimetallism, and the republican
party demands the use of both gold and silver
as STANDARD money, with such restrictions
and under such provisions, to be determined by
the legislature, as will secure the maintenance
OF the parity Of values OF the two metals. so
that the purchasing and debtpaying power of
the oonar-whether Of silver, gold or paper
Shall be at all times equal.
The interests Of the producers of the country
its farmers and its workingmen, demand that
every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the gov
ernment, shall be as good any other.
we commend the wise and patriotic steps al
READY taken by our government TO secure an In
tefnat1onal conference, to adopt such measures
as viii insure a parity of value between gold
ana silver for use as money throughout the
world

this same republican party has fought

THE FIRE ALARM PATENT.

The Opt niOn of the Attorney as to Protect
ing the District.
Some days ago, 1T viii lhs ssosIledr ths United
States district court of Massachusetts decided
an infringement suit against the Gamewell Fire
Alarm Telegraph Company in favor Of the Mu-
nicipal Company. As the Gamewel Company
has several of its instruments in operation in
this city. the Commissioners were anxious to
secure themselves against suits. The matter
was sent to Assistant Attorney Thomas, who
rendered an opinion today as follows:
"The decisions referred to prima facie estab-
ish the fact of Infringement. and if the District
is using instr uments manufactured under the
patents involved in the suits referred to, it too
is an infrlnger.
"In view Of the decisions against the Game
well Company think 1t advisable if they have
not been fully paid to suspend further pay
ments to them until they indemnify the Dis
trict against any damages it may be compelled
to pay in consequence OF any suit for infringe
ment the signal company may institute, or YOU
may terminate the contract and arrange with
the signal company for signal boxes as pro-
posed.
"If the Gamewell Company have been fully
paid for the boxes they probably will not give
you indemnity. In the event you cannot get
indemnity the only thing to do is to let the
matter rest, as you have no power in the ab-
sence of an appropriation to enter into the pro-
posed arrangement with the signal company for
its boxes. Then the Gamewell Company may ap-
peal to the Supreme Court, and in the event
they do, and the judgments Of the Circuit
Court are reversed, thatsis the end Of it. In the
present condition of the case would advise you
to answer the letter of Messrs. Fish, Richardson
and StorrOw explaining the situation, that in
the absence of an appropriation you are unable
to enter into any contract with them. &C., as
proposed.
"In the event the decisions Of the circuit
court at Boston stand, and the District is sued
as infringer, the rule of damages is the differ
ence between the cost of the instruments and
the sales, that is, the profits Of the Gamewen
Company"
