The esteeme Telephone OF yes.
terday contained about one hundred
and forty lines of so.called editorial
matter. OF these about slxty'tour
were devoted to THE NEws, trying
TO show the noon report OF the
Associated Press which The NEWS
takes, was not worth what THE
News pays for it. In its news col
umns under the headlines bearing
date of July 81, the Telephone
prints the acceptance of the French
ultimatum by SIAN, which accept
ance dissolved the war-cloud which
was fast gathering over Europe.
Saturday at noon the Associated
Press sent The News this import
ant item, and TIE NEWS printed 1t
ahead of any morning paper in the
state. The real date of the tele-
gram was July the 10Th, but to
make it appear as live news our es-
teemed contemporary cut out OF
Saturdays News the Telegram for
which it paid, changed the date to
the 3lst and appropriated it, and
forthwith wrote an asticle trying to
discredit and undervalue the noon
report Of the Associated Press. Try
again neighbor, and put in more
backing to keep your powder from
blacking your own face.

The man who objects to restor-
ing silver to its proper place as one
of the standards of measure, when
it can be dem onstrated the great
mass of the people would be bene-
fitted thereby; simply because such
a step would rebound to the advant-
age of "a few mine owners, is
illogical and unreasonable as the
special providence complained of
by Noltaire which wrecked a ship
with forty saints on board to de-
stroy one sinner. They would re-
fuse to do justice to the masses be-
cause few, very few, would be
largely benefited.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The senate has refused to seat Allen
of Washington, and that state will
only have one representative in the
upper house of congress until the leg
islature convenes, without special
session is called.
The votes on the repeal bill in the
house show where the Republican
party stand on the money question.
1t believes in an honest currency, the
same as it has since its inception, and
Is as much opposed to reputation or
depreciation as it was in 1868 or 1879
The quarrel between Siam and
France is not yet settled, and the dis
patches state that the helligerency of
the French has not cooled down. 1T
may yet result in general European
war, when the American farmer will
gladly furnish the old world with
wheat and -four.
The Democratic party is hopefully
divided in this state on the monetary
question. East of the mountains the
East Oregomiaas believes in demonetiz-
ing both gold and silver; the Portland
Telegram is in favor of free silver and
the Chicago platform; the Albany
Democrat swears by Cleveland, the
Chicago platform, and bi-metallism or

Sherman on Reneai.

WASHINGTON, Aug S0--Iu the sans.e
the bill tor tine repeal of the Sherman eci
Was taken up. Sherman was :he FIRST
speaker. He said if the repeal of the acr
was the only reason for an extra session,
it seemed to him insufficient. 1t was
justified, however, by the existing finaD-
clal stringency. Congress and the peo.
pie are both agleed that gold and silver
should be continued as money. If cheap
money is wanted, the free coinage of Sill,
Yer is the way to do it; but it must not
be called bimetslism. 1t would be the
moDometalIsm of silver. The president
SAID Sherman, failed to give the cause OF
the decline IN silver. 1t was due to the
fact that we had to pay our debts, and
our debts were payable in gold. Eng
land had to make her loss in the Argen
tine Republic good to prevent her own
institutions from going down, so she re-
turned our securities and demanded pay
ment IN gold. The balance of trade was
also against Us. and we had to make the
difference good. This, not the Sherman
law, led to the present condition.

Charlestou BADLY Wrecked.

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 29-A passenger
train on the Atlantic Coast line arrived
this evening from Charleston, having
been delayed "a hours by the destructive
storm of Sunday and Monday. An ex
press messenger who was in Charleston
during the storm SAYS it commenced at /
o'clock Sunday afternoon, ard contlnu ed
without abatement until Monday morn
ing There were not fifty yards In the
streets not Uttered with debris, such as
roofs of houses, signs, etc. The roof of
the St. Charles hotel was blown eff and
the streets flooded with water almost to
the doors The phosphate works were
badly damaged Railroad property was
demolished and one schooner is lying
high in the street, having been driven
from its anchorage. All telegraph and
telephone wires are down and there is no
communication with the outside world.
1t was reported that eight people had
been killed IN the city, but this lacks
confirmation, 1t was also rumored there
had been great loss of life on Sullivan's
island, but as communication Is cut off
there is no means OF verifying the report.
A dispatch from Raleigh. N C, says
much damage was done to property IN
that city and Wilmington and great dam
age to the crops all through the state.

usual accommodation, and why scarcity
Of notes for payment Of hands embar-
rasses industries. A single fact ex-
plains the whole matter. A tenth of
all the deposits in banks has been
withdrawn, and much of the money
has been hidden away and boarded
within about two months. Warrant
for this statement is found in the ,in-
complete returns of the condition of
national banks on July 18th. There
are about 100000 wage-earners,
who average more than $4,000, ,00O
daily wages If they have reserved
about third against future payments
or needs, and have simply refrained
from depositing that amount In banks,
that alone accounts for shrinkage Of
$50, 900, 900 each week. But, besides,
many have Withdrawn previous depos-
its. There are at the present time
$4,000, 900 in the safety deposit vaults
of Denver" Now, will our cotem-
porary tell us what caused this lack of
confidence in banks?

IreIand,s Home.Rule Bill.

LONDON, Aug 30-The house of COM
mons met at noon 10 consider the home-
rule bill in the last stages. There was
an exceptionally large attendance. Glad
stone and Morley were enthusiastically
cheered as they entered. After number
of amendments were disposed of without
debate, Gladstone rose, amid storm OF
cheers, to move third reading. He be-
gan his speech with reference to the crit.
icisms made by the unlonist leaders on
historical precedents. He insisted that
on fol mer occasions for home rule in Ire
land the opposition contended that IN no
other countries could analogies be found
for changing the union between Great
Britain and Ireland. Their contention
could not be supported hy historical
facts. In Austri4- Hungary, Norway and
Sweden, In the United States and British
colonies were to be found abundant
proofs that at was altogether desirable to
separate local and imperial affairs.
Throughout European and American lit
erature it is not possible to find writer,
entitled to consIderation, who approved of
the conduct of England toward Ireland,
Or an attempt to apologize for the grie
vous, shameful history, which, since the
union, they had felt compelled to de-
plore.

EnglIsh comment ON RepeaI

LONDON, Aug. 29-'rhe Westminster
Gazette, liberal, says concerning the pas
sage of the Wilson repeal bill: "The
judlcious action of Cleveland assisted
largely to change public sentiment to-
ward the Sherman act. His waiting
policy allowed the country to pass
through such bitter experience it is not
surprising TO find strong opinion in
favor of reversal of the policy which
has landed the country in difficulties.
The effect upon business will be felt in I.
stantly."
The Pail Mall Gazette. conservative,
William Waldorf Astor's daily, says:
when confidence and credit are re-
stored by the repeal of the pernIcious
Sherman act, the task of fiscal reform in
the United States will become easier"

The house has done its dui

The house has done its duty in re-
gard to the repeal of the silver-pur-
chase clause of the Sherman bill, and
if the senate would act With equal
promptness, other measures could re-
ceiys attention. This session of con.
gress should do something to re-estab-
lish confidence by adopting some policy
regarding the tariff. If the free-trade
plank Of the Chicago platform were
adopted, manufacturers and capitalists
would know what to expect, and this
would be much better than the uncer-
tainty now prevailing. The question
has been debated sufficiently, and
a vote should be reached at the earli-
est opportunity on the repeal measure.
Then there will be time for other leg
islatiou, and the special session will
not have been called in vain.

The wheat crop now being harvested
will be the means of affording partial
relief to the northwest this fall, and
this will be more from the reason OF
the large quantity of grain raised
than from the price paid. Business
depression has affected the marker
value Of this product, and low quota
lions may be expected. The demand
from Europe will be considerable, and
England will find a market for all we
have to export. Perhaps the Pacific
coast is more highly favored in this re-
gard than the states east of the Rock
les, as the yield in the Mississippi
valley is not reported to be an aver
age. 1t seems that this portion of
the country is in every way preferable,
both as regards climate and crops.

storms, and harvests rarely fail.

1t should cause no surprise that the
Democrats in the lower house, with
the aid of the Republican minority,
passed the Wilson repeal bill, which is
virtually in favor of the gold standard.
Democratic papers that are attempting
to hold the party to a strict compli-
ance with the provisions of the Chi
cago platform should not forget that
the plank in favor of bi-metallism was
thrown in simply as a sop to the silver
states, and was never intended to
shape legislation. 1t accomplished its
purpose, and may be thrown aside
now without any material injury, ex-
cept that it will demonstrate to the
people the insincerity of Democratic
ante-electlon promises. We believe
the same to oe true of the plank de-
clsring the tariff unconstitutional, and
expect to hear Of it being voted down
by Democrats when it is brought be-
fore congress. Democrats are great
"reformers" before election; but after
they have deluded the voters into sup
porting them they become sensible, and
follow the safe plan which has been
tested by experience

Unemployed of Chicago.

CHICAGO. Aug. 30-An enormous
crowd of unemployed men and women
collected on the Lake front TO hold a
mass meeting. 1t was SO very much lar :
ger than was expected that 500 police
men were placed on duty there and 1000
additional summoned from the outlying
stations The authorities are very appre-
bensive OF an outbreak, and are taking
every precaution.
As the morning, wore on the crowds
constantly increased and became more
turbulent. Impromp,u speeches wers
made at various points. aud indications
of riotIng manifested themselves. Finally
the crowd surged across Michigan avenue,
blocking the streets abuttIDg on it, and
preventing eatrance to the Auditorium
and other hotels. About this time the
police began to appear in the crowd.
Meantime 500 Italians and others started
for Spizzsria's market on State street,
where there were stored fifty rifles used
by Italian societies il parades. Arrived
there, the mob demanded the guns.
Spizzaria refused to give them up,
pushed the invaders out and locked the
