against the Chinese has been inaugural
ed In the active business centers Of tn,
west. The apparent disiuclination 10 en-
force the Geary law promptly has nc
doubt inspired the movement in som.
localities, while the great numbers Of un
employed white people in other places
have been impelled to violence against
the coolies by reason Of the disposition Of
employers to engage the latter to dc
their work because they could save few
cents per day in wages. The Chinese
issue is becoming a matter OF very grave
Importance to the people Of the west. and
delay on the part of the administration
to enforce the Geary law is a palpable in.
vitation for trouble.
Senator Mitchell, OF Oregon, made a
valiant speech in the senate on Tuesday
In favor OF free silver. He referred to
the disastrous effects Of the depreciation
Of silver on the interests CT the farmer.
The money-changers Of Lombard street
and the unconsciona5le stock gamblers
Of Wall street, he said, waited with ill.,
concealed anxiety the result OF the vote
that would increase by one-half the pur.
chasing power OF gold and cut down in a
like proportion the price Of every agricul-
.ural commodity produced in this coun-
try.
The 0regonian, by ransacking its files
for many years back, has discovered that
II now holds the same view on the silver
question that it held fourteen years ago
and as proof that its editorial policy has,
in one instance at least, been consistent,
1t reprints the old articles. 1t fails to
state, however, how many different views
it has held and expressed on the same
subject during the intervening decade
and half 1t would be interesting to
know.
City treasurers throughout the state
have certainly concluded to make haste
while the dollars shine Immediately after
the princcly defalcation OF the Seattle
treasurer comes the report that the city
treasurer OF Whatcom is short 1900.
He is still at large, but it seems TO he
generally understood that he shall be
given the usual chance TO escape. 1t may
be, however, that he prefers the peniten-
tiary to life in British Columbia.
The number OF people classed as labor
ers now emigrating to Europe from this
country exceeds the number OF the same
class arriving from the old country TO
America, condition that never before
existed 10 the history Of this country.
We can easily spare GOO, 900 Of Europe's
paupers who we're shipped to this coun-
try when they could no longer find sue
cor on the "auld sod" Let the good
work go On.
The San Francisco Examiner of Tues.
day excoriates President Cleveland, in a
vigorous editorial, most numerically for
what it terms his demagogic allegiance
with the gcldbags on wall street and the
eastern banker. II calls him Republic
can and charges him with coercing ma
tional congressman, with his magisterial
power, into supporting the plutocratic
theory of finance.
Wednesdays dispatches describe a
conspiracy concocted by Grand Army
veterans, through pension bureau at
torney, to assassinate President Cleve-
land, Hoke Smith and subordinate
commissioner. But the Associated Press
reporters have become SO gushingly SEN
sational that ii is difficult to determine
how much, IL any, Of their stuff to be-
lieve.
Another evidence OF the fact that man
belongs to superior race is seen in con-
gress today. For instance, while it takes
a monkey thousands of years to make q
man OF himself, man can easily make O
monkey OF himself in minute. The
connecting link ought to be happy
mean between the ape and the average
congressman.
In the death OF 0kanogan Smith the
state loses one OF its sturdy characters. A
pioneer. q mountaineer, an energetic, pro
gressive, untiring developer, politician
financier, patriotic citizen ana an
opep-handed, big-hearted neighbor, Mr.
Smith will form an interesting character
In the early history OF this great state.
