invest dollar in American securi-
ties. Financially, we would soon
reach the lower level of Mex
leo and the South American
repu ublics. with depreciation of our
coin abroad and bankruptcy at home.
1t would simply be killing the patient
to cure the disease. If we are to "rjght
about face" it must be to solid gold
basis, and not to plunge ourselves
deeper In the mIre than we are at
present by attempting to inaugurate a
policy. the mere fear of which is caus-
ing all our trouble.
History is simply repeating itself In
these disastrous times, for never since
the constitution was adopted has there
been change from the safe protective
policy to that of free trade that stag
nation to business has not followed.
The uncertainty of the Democratic
party on financial questions is aug
menting the financial distress, for the
Chicago platform gave forth no certain
sound on monetary matters. Free
trade and free coinage are equally dis
astrous, and the United States cannot
adopt either and be prosperous.

An exchange, reasoning from prem
lses which cannot be sustained, says
there will be no unifcation of senti-
ment in favor of forming one state out
of Eastern Washington and Eastern
Oregon and another out of Western
Washington and Western Oregon, and
then closes with this preposterous
statement: "Hence the question of
boundaries will be left for each state
to solve, and will not be one for their
JOINT consideration. A state has no
authority to fix Its own boundaries.
Congress alone has power to do this,
and has exercised it on several occa-
sions. The northwest territory was
carved into several states, and also the
Louisiana purchase. West Virginia
was formed out of old Virginia about
the close of the war, and out of the
original Oregon territory has come
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Mon
sana. Neither Oregon or Washing
ton, jointly or separately, will form
the boundaries of the nsw states, if
such are created, but the national leg
islature in Washington City will be
supreme in the matter The Cascade
range is the natural boundary of these
states, and our representatives in con-
gress, as soon as the people manifest a
desire in this regard, should present
the matter in the senate and lower

tiona bank, one of the oldest banks IN
the city, suspended payment this morn-
Ing. Au interview with one of the of
fcers of the bank By Unitad Press rep
rescniauve gives as the cause OF the sus-
pension the depression OF the past tw o
yeais. which caused deposits to run down
from something over $l.00OO9O to about
half that amount. Necessarily much
paper was accumulated, and collections
were slow and in many cases impossible,
and this coupled with steady drain for
the last 80 daya caused by local scare,
and sudden demand from eastern cor.
respondents for an immediate settlement,
caused the suspension. The present liza
blities of the bank are slightly in excess
of $500, 900, including the amount due
depositors and banks. The assets are
100000 II is believed locally that
the bank will resume business so soon as
it can ADJUST with the eastern people. The
comptroller Of the currency has been DO
titled and asked to send bank examiner
The Suspension has caused much unnec-
essary excitement and a small run on
other banks. all of whom are paving
promptly with smiling faces.

July 4, at Fort Klamath of Troop B of
tbs place and of Company D of Ashland
The location of the camp is one of the
prettiest in Oregon and possesses enough
attractions to cause a large number of
city people to gather at the spot every
year; but on the fourth, interest will
center in sham battle between the com
bined companies and 100 Klamath In

over the affair and the entire reservation

The decision of the secretary of the
interior in the case of the lands
claimed by The Dalles Wagon Road
Co., in Sherman county, will work
great hardship where these have passed
into the hands of innocent purchasers
from the road company, and the ruling
of the secretary will unsettle title held
under the same conditions in every
state of the union. There can be no
DOUBT that the matter will be taken to
the q. s. supreme court, and this will
cause vexatious delay to the settler,
besides considerable expense.

A Terrible Tragedy.

Co NNELLsvILLE, Pa, May ga hor-
rible tragedy was discovered in New
Haven, just across the river from this
place, this afternoon. An entire family
named Hoy, consisting of mother, father
and two children, were found dead iu
their house The Hoys lived in house
in thIckly y, settled neighborbood of New
Haven, and no one had ever dreamed
that such a tragedy could be enacted
without arousing the neighbors The
Hoys had not been seen today, and it
was not until a neighbor called at the
house on an errand that the terrible trag
edy was discovered. The victims were
all lying dead in the same room, and
from appearances they had been dead for
some time. The discovery caused intense
excitement IN the locality, and in few
minutes the house was surrounded with
an immense crowd, while the building
was filled to suffocation. The theory
prevails that the husband perpetrated
the horrible deed and then committed
suicide. The coroner has been notified
and an investigation is now in progress.

RICHMOND, Va, May 31-Jefferson
Davis funeral train arrived here at 8
o'clock this morning. An hour before
its arrival the artillery began firing sa
lutes, and continued till the remains
rested In the capitol. They were escorted
from the depot by R E Lee camp. and
the first Virginia regiment. Winnie
Davis and the rest of the family went to
a hotel where Mrs. Davis was stopping,
having arrived last night from New
York. The reintermeDt ceremonies have
attracted to the city one of the largest
crowds ever seen here. The decorations
in the roiunda of the capital, where the
remains lie in state, as we'll as elsewhere
In the city, are simple, but impressive.
Black and white are the prevailing col
ors. The parade to Hollywood will start
at 8 p M, and the memorial services
will last about an hour, including the ex
ercises at Gettysburg hill, where several
thousand Confederates are buried.
A continuous stream of people passed
through the room in which the coffin lay
all the morning FIVE THOUSAND school
children viewed the cssl ct, each dropping
a flower on it. By this time the mass of
flowers on and around the cssket
amounted to several wagon loads.
