Gov. Pennoyer is in favor of the
southern and western states meeting
the emergency, if congress refuses to
coin "silver on the same conditions as
gold, into full legal tender money" by
making the Mexican dollar full legal
tender of all debts. In plain English,
our governor is in favor of seeding,
and in such an exigency would not the
Confederate note be better to adopt as
currency than the Mexican coin2 This
would be consistency, and these Con-
federate shlnplaster could bepurchased
at low price.
The Oregonian says Gen. Compson
is morally responsible for the death of
Lieut.. Nelson at the sham battle last
Saturday. If the Oregon National
Guard is necessary in this state, the
members should he thoroughly drilled
in all tactics of war, and sham battles
are practical lesson in this science.
We cannot blame Gen. Compson for
ordering this drill In the exercise of
arms, and the opposition, if any,
should be against milltiamen in times
of peace, and not against every possi-
BILE means of making them comp tent
soldiers.
Congress was called for An especial
purpose by the president, and that
was for the repeal of the silver
purchase clause of the Sherman act;
and the time will be occupied for sew
eral weeks in airing the pent up elo-
quence of the members without the
least action being taken. In the
meantime poverty wall increase and
the laboring poor be thrown cut of
employment. 1t is very evident that
the world is governed too much. and
that the circumlocution Office in Wash
ington City has great control oyer
legislative matters.
The following from .he Harney
Times must be considered the latest
joxe: "Senators Vest of Missouri,
and Dolph of Oregon, are working to-
gether for free silver. These two
leaders of opposite parties vii not be
overlooked when working in unison
for the masses and against the
classes" Senator Dolph has always
been a strong advocate of the gold
standard, and in his many speeches in
congress and before the people of this
state he has never given utterance to a
single sentence that could be con-
strued in favor of free coinage.
The Democratic press are becoming
tired of hearing Republican papers
taunt them with the effects of the
''change' that took place on the lnaug
uration Of Mr.. Cleveland. If they
can explain why the direst distress
should settle upon the country after
the success of the Democratic party in
November, 1892, when the conditions
are the same as they were under the
preceding Republican administration,
except on the hypothesis that the
people are apprehensive of disastrous
legislation, every Republican paper in
the land will keep silent. Until they
can do this Republicans will consider
that financial depression and business
stagnation are caused by the fear that
Cleveland and his party will inaug-
urate free trade.

compelled to deal with them. 1t may
be true that this point Is "way
station" in comparison with New
York, Chicago or San Francisco; but
Prineville should not say a word in
this regard. The volume of business
done in this place by transportation
companies has been considerable, and
more wool and wheat, direct from the
producers, are handled here than in
any other town on the Pacific coast.
Situated at the head of navigation,
with available routes to the interior,
this city has been been the center of
trade for vast region Of country, and
business will largely increase with the
opening of the Columbia river 20 nav
igation.
The article concludes with the fol-
lowing:
"There is better market for all we
have to sell at Albany than there ever
was or will be at The Dalles, and all
we want to buy, such as fruit, flour,
bacon, lard and such like is far
cheaper, SO if any of this road money
must be spent in reaching railroad,
let it be spent in that direction. Be-
sides all money spent on the McPher-
son canyon would simply be so much
paid out in the interest of two toll
roads"
We do not wish to say one word in
disparagement of Albany or any other
town east or west of the Cascade
mountains; but The Dalles is more
conveniently situated to the interior
of Eastern Oregon than any point il
the Willamette valley, and the ar
ticles mentioned by our cotemporary
can be purchased as cheaply mere az
anywhere in the state. Prineville is
interested in the same matters of gen.
eral improvement as The Dalles, and
the greatest harmony should prevail
between these places Wool and
cattle from our neighboring county
have received higher prices here than
anywhere else in the state, and we are
firmly convinced that the advantages
possessed by the head of navigation on
the Columbia river will be more at
tractive to the producers in Crook
and Grant counties than any bid the
Willamette towns may offer.

THE DALLEs rs. PRLNEV1LLE.

The Prineville Nesos, in its last is
sue, has an article which appears tc
be actuated by malice to Yards this
city, and in speaking of the expendi-
ture of road money says:
"The road leading towards The
Dalles is plenty good enough now. The
proposed Mcpherson canyon road i,
not needed, and would cost more than
it is worth even if it was needed. II
we want to open road leading to a
railroad let US head for Albany. The
people of this county have had entirely
enough of The Dalles. We have fed,
paid tribute to, and been robbed by
that way station long enough. Let US
pull loose, work for ourselves and
build up Crook county"
We are very sorry indeed that any
portion of the residents of Crook
county feel in this manner towards
our merchants. and do not believe they
have any reason for the exhibition of
such animosity. Perhaps the Nesos
could tell in what manner Prineville
has .'fed, paid tribute to and been
robbed" by this city, for we cannot
think of single instance in which
this has been true. Crook county, we
arc sorry to say, is not in position to
feed her own Inhabitants, and, as .
matter of course, should not extend
her benevolence to others until she
becomes self supporting. The goods
purchased here have not been at ex-
orbitant prices, and while our mer-
chants believe in fair profits, they have
never prscticed extortion on those

LIMA, Aug. 23-There was stormy
session Monday night in the chamber of

asked to explain the numerous violations
of the constitution by the suppression of
newspapers. Their explanations were
not satisfactory. Deputy Cornti,, upon
learning that DR.. Barrlgs, editor of La

the ministers if the people were living Id
Peru or Turkey. The sess on was con

many stormy scenes. Large crowds at

Damaging Ev,denc. Against Curtis.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 23-In the trial
of Actor N b. Curtis for the murder of
Policeman Grant, Joseph Holtze, treas
urer of the Tivoli theater, identified the
pistol found near Grants body as one
which was brought to him few DAYS
before Grants death by theater en-
ploye, who saw it drop out of Curtis
pocket as he lay asleep on q lounge in
the tbeater Office. W. Il. Leahy. the
ater emplOye. testified that he picked up
a pistol which bad dropped out OF Cur
tls' pocket and gave il to Holtze. He
identified the pistol found near Grant as
the one he had picked up. This evil
dence is regarded as important, as the
strong point of Curtis defense was that
he never owned a blackhandled pistol
like the one found.

The zszsarn,,, talks sonnd ser

The Telegram talks sound sense in
its leading editorial yesterday, and it
would be wise to pay some heed to the
advice given. Those who take the
management of banks are more re-
spons,ble than stockholders. and the
people are becoming educated to an
intelligent understanding of the mat
ter. Many of the depositors in the
Portland Savings and Com mercIal Ma
tional banks are in deplorable con-
dltion, by reason of their earnings hav-
ing been used for speculative purposes.
1t may he true that wealth is the
"open sesame" to nearly every posi-
tion-social and politician the re-
public; but the hoi polloi are very pow
erful in all free countries, and it is
not safe to tread too heavily ON their
rights. This is not anarchism but is
simply PLAIN statement of our belief
in the rule Of intelligence and honesty
in all governments, and not in the
least adulation or favoritism being
paid to those who, by speculation, du-
pllcity or fraud, have acquired wealth.
The principal managers of these two
banks in Portland should be RESPONSE
BILE to every man or woman who have
deposited S. or so in those institu-
tions, and should be held to as strict
an accountability as private individ-
uals who borrowed money without
adequate security. Law should be
q more powerful protector of the
poor and weak than of the strong and
wealthy, who are amply able to pro-
tect themselves.
