A Howl and Its Cause.

eThe public has no idea OF the ex-
tent to which the Government is
being defrauded by pensioners. II
is well known that under the pres
ent administration a vigorous effort
has been made to weed out pension
ers drawing Illegally. As a eonse-
quenee a howl has gone up from the
partisan press. II some Of the edit
ors writing these screeds could
spend a few weeks examining the
rolls they would change their minds =
IA official Of the pension bureau
made the above statement. A howl
has most certainly been raised and
the cause thereof is plain. The APP
plicant for a pension whose injury
was caused by saw mill was as
founded when his claim was denied.
He was puzzled, ehargined, indig-
nant Hundreds of applicants dis
appointed IN like manner have
raised the hue and cry Of infdelity
on the part of our country Those
in sympathy with this class of
Migrants were the men who sang at
Indianapolis, Hang Hoke Smith on
a sour apple tree.

There is some discussion in the pub
lie press of employing the convicts in
the penitentiary in jute bag factory,
and this is receiving favorable COM
ments from many. The state which
supports these criminals should receive
some compensation from their labor,
but it should be in a channel in which
they would not come in competition
with the wages of bread-winners, and
this causes the present agitation of the
question. We believe the manufacture
of jute bags has been tried in the peni-
tentiary of our neighboring state,
Washington, and the result has not
been very encouraging. There is no
reason that it would be more success
full in Oregon, and it is experimental,
at best, on this coast. There is pub
hc necessity of the early completion of
The Dalles portage road by the state,
and the northwest is interested In this
Improvement. The present legislature
can pass liberal appropriation for
this project, and there would be
healthy employment for criminals in
grading and doing the heavy work.

NOT HARMONIOUS.

Congressman George Fred. Williams,
Of Massachusetts, has not helped the
cause of the mugwumps with the
southern Democracy by his visi. to
Charleston, s. G. MIR. Williams made
a speech at the Forefathers' Day ban
quet at Charleston last week, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean, and he was ap-
plauded when he devoted his attention
to the corporations in the north and
accused these of controlling votes in
the interest of the Republican party
But when Mr.. Williams gently limited
that there were election methods in
the south that would not pass muster
in the shedow of Bunker Hill he
touched sensitive point and the at
mosphere of the banquet hall became
as chilly as that which struck the Laas
restiaaa when her comrasses were
frozen, and the Charleston Nescs and
Courier next morning proceeded to
read lecture to mugwumps in GEN
eral and Mr.. Williams In particular
Mr. Williams has learned that how
ever much the mugwumps may help
the south to control the government,
they must not speak in criticism of
the southern elections. The solid
south does not hand over to Mr.. Cleve-
land its 159 electoral votes without re-
gard to the wishes of the voters to
have the elections criticized. Like
the colonel who ate the chicken stolen
by the foraging private, Mr.. Cleveland
and his friends must accept this sup
port without asking impertinent ques-

It is. of course. a difficult matter to

1t is, of course, difficult matter to
estimate with any approach to accur-
acy what amount of the outstanding
obligations of the United States in the
shape of currency have been accident
ally destroyed and thus removed from
the class of treasury liabilities, says
Bradstreet'S. The discussion of the
condition of the treasury which has
gone on recently, however, has direct
ed attention to che subject, and accord
ingly we find in press dispatches from
Washington some attempts at esti-
mates of the amount of paper currency
destroyed by accident or otherwise
eliminated during the last three de-
cades. The estimates of the amount
of currency thus removed range from
$4,000, 900 to $20,000,0OO. Of course
all of this currency has not been lost.
Some of it, the fractional currency es-
pecially, has gone to considerable ex-
tent into the hands of collectors.
What gives point to these estimates is
the suggestion now made that the
amount of this money be taken out of
the sum of the liabilities of the gov
ernment, a suggestion which may be
laid before congress in the near future.

Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, of Mas


sachusetts, is the caucus nominee of
the Republicans for United States
senator, and this will be very accepta-
BILE to the party in that state and In

not approve of him because he is the
author of the so-called Force bill, and
they have already begun to ''show their
teeth" Mr.. Lodge has proved him.
self very able legislator, and in every
way competent to represent his state
in the upper house of congress. The
odium attached to the bill he intro
duced for fair elections in the United
States was manufactured by the
dough-faced Democracy of the north
to keep the south solid, and if en-
forced would not have interfered with
the constitutional rights of any citizen.
1t may have had Its effect in increas-
ing the dimensions of the tidal wave
of public sentiment last November;
but when this settles down to It's nor
NAL condition, and men regain their
sober senses, the Lodge bill and the
Mckinley tariff will be the theme of
praise instead of blame. The next
four years of Democratic rule may
give the people practical illustrations
of the way elections are manipulated
in the south and of the financial dis
asters attending the Inauguration of
free trade.

The coming legislature has

The coming legislature has a diff
cult task to perform if it attempts to
pass laws on the subjects which have
been named by the people and the
press. 1t is expected to remedy the
defects of the method of assessing val
ues; to deal with the convict labor
question; to create several new coun-
ties; to guard the salmon industry; to
legislate on better system of roads,
ETC., ETC., and all this in forty days Of
working time. Of course it is not ex-
pected that the representatives elected
bi-annually to occupy the capitol at
Salem are given the position for the
purpose of recreation or festivity; but
if the matters requiring intelligent leg
islation are presumed to receive proper
consideration and laws passed which
will be made effective, the constitu-
tiopal limit of the session should be
extended. 1t would be no great bur-
den on taxpayers If the per diem con-
tinued for a longer period than the
time mentioned, for matters of legisla-
tion are of little good if done hastily
and not with care and consideration.

Now that congress has re assembled
after the holidays, our senators and
representative should be urged to i'm
mediate action in favor of the bill ex-
tending the time for the payments to
be made on the forfeited railroad lands
In many instances our settlers will not
be aole to purchase these lands next
month, and an extension of time would
be no hardship on the government and
be a great boon to those who desire to
secure them. For the past two or
three seasons crops have been very
light. and farmers have found it diff
cult to meet their obligations. There
is no possibility of land spectators
reaping any advantage from such leg
islation, and the petitions presented to
congress clearly prove that these are
the honest, earnest prayers of home
builders.

DIR BRIGGS HTNDICATED.

DR.. Briggs has been vindlcated, and
neither of the charges against him Of
teaching doctrines contrary to the
Westminster creed has been sustained.
In this age of the world the leaven of
llberality is permeating the churches,
and the iron-bound dogmas which
were considered necessary to salvation
century ago are only advocated occa-
sionally by the clergy. If religion
consists in the advocacy of life more
comfortable to the high moral teach
ings CT the New Testament, with the
constant practice of an open-handed
charity towards all classes of man.
kind, then the world is becoming more
religious; but if it consists of implicit
faith in old creeds which narrows
thought to the most contracted chan
nels of investigation, then the human
race Is more heathenish than in any
epoch in history. To hold the views
which are now frequently preached
from the pulpit would have consigned
ministers of the gospel few years
ago to the ssverest condemnation of
their church synods; but ecclesiastical
bodies must keep pace with modern
and men, whether Gath
oIics, Presbyterians or Methodists, can
only follow the path in religion, as in
science or philosophy, that their en-
ightened reason marks out for them.
1t was hardly expected that Presby-
;erians would so soon occupy the ad-
'anced position of DIR. Briggs; but they
ire in the line of advancement, and
,ther denominations must follow or
ldopt the rules of the inquisition Of /
he middle ages over the minds of their
ldherents.

said yesterday he would certainly tender

timated that his colleagues would do the
same thing. ''It Is certainly the proper
thing" he sald, 'to give the new admin
lstration chance to send commission
that would be in accordance with its own
views on the silver question" When
asked as to the truth of the publication.
Allison neither denies or afiirmes. He
simply said: II may, but that is not

do it now. Whether 1 will when Cleav-

Louis McComas, who was nominated judge
of the supreme court of the District o.
Columbia. Talking about the probable
outcome of the senatorial contests now
beginning in the northwest, Mr.. Carter
said:
"1n my own state the result is still
doubtful, but with chances in favor of
the Democrats. In Wyoming the Dem
ocrats and Populists together have COM
troll of the lower branch of the legisla-
ture, and there are two contested cases
which l suppose will be decided against
the Republicans, thus securing major
ity on joint ballot, which will probably
be used to elect Democratic senator.
In California, the legislature is against
US. In Kansas and Nebraska there is
chance we will be able TO elect our candi.
dates, but there is considerable doubt
about it."
