LaW-Breakers at Topeka.


Throughout the disgracefal uproar
at Topeka both parties to the quarrel
have given conspicuous proof Of their
determination to show themselves
wise and good by committing deeds
of violence. Why temporary success
in storming the state capitol should
be coveted, rather than a reputa-
ton for peace and justice, is a little
difficult to say.
Nowt that Gov. Lewelling has back
ed down after finding that the mill
tia, OF which be is the commander
in-chief, would not support him, it
is well to ask why he took a position
from which backing down was nee
essary. OF course the militia is
disgraced by its refusal to obey his
orders, even though he may be dis
graced by having given the orders
that ger disobeyed-
The strength of the Republicans
position is that they desire to submit
their cas- to the courts, while the
PopuIists oppose that course on the
ground that the courts are Republi-
can. 1t is a little singular that they
do not recognize that injustice is
most satisfactorily avenged by an
appeal to public opinion. Tempo
rary supremacy is as nothing COM
pared with the benefits to come from

1t so, how large is it? D. r.
The whole debt of the United
States is practically a war debt. In
1885 the National debt amounted to
only $37,513. Then it slowly in
creased and decreased until, on
July /, 1861, it amounted to $780,
100000. BY July 1, 1862, it had
increased nearly six times; on July
1, 1868, it amounted to 81, 119, 700,-
600, and on July |, 1866, it reached
its highest point, 2,773, GOO, 900.
Since then, except for a few years it
has diminished steadily until, on
January 3, 1898, it amounted to
81 563, 991 ,769.13.

Woman,s Matrimonial Chances.

A Woman's chance to marry at
from fifteen to twenty years of age
is said to be 141s per cent. From
twenty to twenty-five the chance is
increased to So per cent; from
twenty-five to thirty it diminlshes
to IS; from thirty to thirty-five, to
15& per cent. From thirty-five to
forty the chances of an unmarried
woman sink to 3M per cent; from
forty to forty-five a still further
diminution is seen, her chance be-
ing but 90. From forty-ive to
fifty the old maids chance of getting
a husband is but q of 1 per cent
while from fifty to fifty-fve she is
supposed to have but Il of / per
cent of a chance. 1t should, how
ever, be added that the table Of aver
age does not apply to widows. Ac-
curate statisticians, who would not
be caught in amistakefor the world,
affirm that a widow Of any age has
at least seventy-six SINISTER draw
ing power, and some place her figure
up to eighty-two. The widows
chances at any age are, therefore,
seventy-six to eighty-two times bet
ter than that of a spinster.

SILVER COMPROMISE.
Result of a Conference Yesterday at
Mr.. Carlisle's House.

4
Mr.. Carlisle's House.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 20
An important step toward the re-
opening of the silver question before
this Congress expires was decided
to-day at a secret conference held at
the residence of Mr.. Carlisle, the
next Secretary Of the Treasury. Rep
resentatives of both the free silver
and anti-free silver factions were
present and a free expression OF
views as TO the possibility OF passing
a compromise bill was held. A
proposition, which did not come
from the anti-free silver men, was
finally settled upon. This scheme
is to suspend the silver purchases
under the Sherman act until the
seignorage silver shall be coined at
the rate of SO, 900, 1000 a month.
Mr.. Carlisle took no sides in the
conference, but simply explained
the effects of both propositions on
the Treasury. Before the conference
closed, Mr.. Cox of Tennessee speak
ing for the silver men present, said
that while he was not strongly in
favor of the proposition, he thought
that perhaps it was the wisest action
that could be taken with SO little
time intervening between now and
the close of the session. 1t is under
stood tonight that a bill carrying
out the compromise will be intro
duced tomorrow by Mr.. Living
ston, and it looks as if an attempt
would be made this week to get the
bill through the House.
The Governor Took His Medicine.
TopEKA, Kan, Feb. 20.-The
real facts as to how bloodshed was
averted in Kansas are now coming
to light, and it develops that it was
a much closer. call than most people
are aware of, as Gov. Lewelling re-
tracted his signature to the peace
measures within twenty minutes
after he had signed them. Upon
hearing Of his intentions, Mr.. Cub
bison OF Wyandotte wentto him and
said: Governor, do I understand
you will take your name from this
Ipaper?" He answered that be had
signed it under mistaken informa-
ton Doster is said to have been
with him and told him that the Pop
ulists would never forgive him and
possibly he would not escape ser
ious trouble, so he decided to with
draw from the agreement. Mr..
Cubbison then said to him: "Gov-
ernor, if you withhold your sigma
ture from the paper there will be a
thousand men killed within twenty
minutes and you will be one Of
them. The House is ready to fight
fos Is rights. 1t will not tolerate
Imprisonment longer. 1t has been
hard to hold the members back.
The Sergeants-at-arms are ready
and well armed and the Sheriff can
not control his men outside much
longer. The fight will begin as soon
as you say 50 and it will begin in the
corridors in front of your office.
Think what you are doing"
Gov. Lewelling reached out his
hand and said: ''Give me the
paper; let it stand"
/ This alone averted war.

STATE FAIR OPENS.
The First Days Work a Good
Starter.

The state fair opened today. The
constant rain yesterday kept many
from getting their exhibits in place,
and at an early hour this morning as
thick as bees were ladies and men
around the secretary's Office, to ascer-
tain what space had been allotted and
putting in order the various exhibits.
Everything was in chaotic condi-
ton at sunrise this morning, but all
that sundry and willing hands could
do was steadily applied, till once more
the great pavilion has blossomed out to
excite the wonder and challenge the
admiration of the world.
Notwithstanding the gloomy outlook
Of the weather for the past few days,
stock is still coming in and goods for
the exhibit have been piling mp and
are being placed ia order.
There are now in the stalls about
seventy trotting horses and thirty-five
runners and PAGERS and seyenty-five
premium horses. There Is very good
collection of cattle, a few extra hogs
and fine herd of sheep.
The pavilion is a show of ITSELF The
The art department was never so well
represented as this year, and the entries
in the other lines are up to the stand
ard of former years. The vegetables
that have been arranged today, are es-
pecially attractive, and the display ot
the grains and grasses speaks louder
for Oregon than could volumes of ad-
vertising on paper. Any one with sc
cents to spare can not afford to miss
the agricultural and horticultural dis
play at the fair.
The merchants have been losing no
time today in getting 10 order theiI
wares, aud panoramic view of their
carefully arranged and polished goods
speaks well for the enterprise of the ex.
hibitors. The rain has rendered the
track little slippery today but it is tO
be hoped the genial rays of a smiling
sun will make more favorable track
| for the remainder of the week.
The program for tomorrow Is as fol-
lows:
Race No. 4.-Pacing-Stake for two
yr-olds or under, mile heats, 2 in 8,
$3.50 added.
Race No. 5.-Trotting 800 class,

Chinese Exclusion.

The crusaders continue to drive the
Mongolians from Marion county hop
yards.
The arrest and holding of the young
men who helped to drive the Chinese
from the hop yards in the vicinity oi
Hubbard serves as no check on the
crusaders.
After driving the Mongolians from
Boss Jim Cookies yard on Thursday
night, party called at another hop
yard near by that was leased by a
Chinaman and drove the Asiatic race
away. About fifty shots were fired on
this occasion but no one was hurt as
the purpose was only to scare the Chi.
nese away.
1t is certainly an assured fact that
Chinamen will not pick many hops in
Marion county this year aud another
year they will hardly venture to be in
the way.
