Can Coin DO lars.

LoNpHN, Oct. 17-At meeting of the
directors of the Chartered Bank of India,
Australia and China, held this afternoon,
the chairman announced that the gov
ernment had given their sanction to the
coinage of British dollar for circulation
in the straits settlement and Hong Kong
The fall in the price of silver. he said,
had affected the eastern trade and
lessened the export of the Mexican dollar
to such an extent as to threaten the east
ern colonies with total absence of
currency. In these circumstances the
treasury had sanctioned the coinage of a
British dollar in Bombay, which would
possibly be in circulation in 1895
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1894-10-20

currency. They placed the finances OF
the nation on very solid basis. and
by wise legislation have always man
eyed to MAINTAIN an equality between
silver and gold as circulating me-
diums.
There may De a sentiment in some
of the mining counties in favor OF
more silver; but these did not give
large Republican uajorltles, and are
among the least populoua districts in
the state. In Baker county, almost
wholly dependent on mines, the Popu-
list legislative ticket was elected, but
in Multnomah, where the largest
commercial interests are centered, and
where there are less free-sllverites
than anywhere in the state, the Re-
publican majority was the largest ever
known. In Wasco, where the Re-
publican ticket was elected throughout
by figures never before known, the
silver question was rarely touched on.
The sa ne is true of Umatilla, where
a Democratic county was changed to
a Republican one, and the ticket
elected by about 800 majority.
Judge Lord is mistaken, if his
language is reported correctly. 1t was
not free silver that caused the Repub-
lican cyclone last June; but the de-
preston in business caused by the
shadow os free trade falling on Amer
lean industries and American products.
The sheep men of Wasco. Umatilla,
Crock and Grant spent time and
money in support of the r publican
party, believing that every vote it re-
ceived was one in favor of protection,
and if this policy were again in
augurated 1t would increase the price
of their wool. There were no more
earnest workers for Republican sue
cess in Eastern Oregon last June
than farmers and producers They
firmly believed that protection to
American industries was direct
financial benefit to them, and every
voter was hunted up and induced to 60
to the polls. There are very few
mining counties in Oregon, and the
output of silver is inconslderahle.
These had little influence on the last
election or will have on any hereafter.
Oregon is interested in the development
of her natural wealth of products of
Hocks and of the soil, and these re-
ceive the greater stimulus from the
doctrine of protection to American in
dustries than from Democratic free
trade that believes In opening wide
our gates to all foreign producers.

Not Rejected.

LONDON, Oct. 1S-The Daily Nesos will
publish tomorrow this seui-official state.
meat: A day or two after the cabinet
council, China informed Great Britain
that she was prepared to negotiate for
peace on certain terms Great Britain
made ovcrtures to the powers on a new
basis, and asked Japan whether the terms
suggested by China could form the basis
of new negotiations for peace. Japan
did not reply definitely, but has not re.
jected the proposals. The majority of
the powers are In accord with Great
Britain, and there IS likelihood that
others will assent. The intervention is
purely diplomatic, and Is offered to both
combatants IN the friendliest spirit.
A Tien-Tsin correspondent says China
desires peace, because, though aware of
her immense reserves of strength, she
would willingly avoid the sacrifices, risk
and expense of bringing them into action.
Sue will, however, face a long war
resoluteiy. aud will rally such forces as
will render Japanese conquest impossi-
BILE, though the effort may exhaust both
sides.

A Colts navy revolver was on his person.
There were A cartridges in his pocket,
and memorandum book showing where
the entire Doodle had been divided be-

guises. He asked to be taken TO the
water closet, and while there tried to hide
another revolver and some money, but
was caught in the act, The mau weighs
at least 100 pounds, Is feet tall, has q
smooth face, and dresses neatly. 1t was
discovered that he arrived in this city
about II o'clock yesterday morning, and
lost several hundred dollars in a gam
bling house. The police are confident
tha: they have one of the robbers. He
is very sullen and refuses to talk, but
before commitment told a number of
conflicting stories.

Killed at San Jose.

San JOSE, Cal, Oct: 17-C' L Curtis.
a middle aged business man of Tacoma,
WASH, was knocked down by an express
train from Monterey yesterday, near the
Broad gauge depot, and narrowly es-
capped being killed. He was walking
close to the track, as the train was
pulling in, and as he thought the train
was on another track he paid no stten-
tion to the warning of the whistle or
bell. The cowcatcher struck him and
hurled him several feet. No bones were
broken, but his body was severely bruised.
Curtis owns a suburban railroad at

A VANISHING GHOST.

The Bourbons of louisiana are sor-
rowful, well-nigh to the point of
weeping, over the obduracy of the re-
volted planters pithily says an eastern
exchange.
"Let ussrefer this matter to arbitra-
ton of all the white voters, let US
eliminate the negro from politics, and
if majority of whites indorse Re-
publican policy let US all vote Republi-
can, it not let US all vote Democratic,
as we have been accustomed to do"
Thus pray the Bourhons to the newly
born Republicans. And upon refusal
of their proposition they bewail the
advent of "negro supremacy" and be-
seech and implore that portion of the
white race that is least intelligent to
unite against that which Is most pro-
gressive.
But, softl,l The Beurbons place
themselves on dangerous ground.
For this question arises-Is negro
supremacy more to be dreaded when
it elevates Democrats to power than
when it elects Republicans 1t is
pertinent question just now. For it
is confessed by all that in Georgia and
In Alabama the Democratic candl-
dates for governor have been rejected
by the white voters. But it is claimed
by Democrats that the solid vote of
the negroes in each of those states was
cast for the Democrats, and that by it
Democratic governors were elected.
Now if this is true, Georgia and
Alabama today are under negro su-
premacy. They are administered by
Democratic officials, who are objection
able to the whites, and who are in Of
uSO do 'tcotuIfS Vi Vie Ht'StO NOto
Our Bourbon friends in LOUISIANA
should condole with the luckless whites
of Georgia and Alabama.
Besides, which, if it be true, as the
Democratic newspapers of the south
often assure US, that the drift of the
negro vote everywhere is toward De-
mocracy, then the one practical
method of rescuing Louisiana from the
danger of negro supremacy is by
steadfast movement of all the whites
IN support of the Republican candl-
dates.
Really and seriously, canno'
40 able as those who con-
luct the PieDyune. the Times Demo-
rat, and the Daily States of New
Orleans discern that the ghost of ne
yro supremacy has stalked as long as
t can't The cocks are growing for
iaylight. The ghost must vanish.
He no longer can cause alarm.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

About 10000 of the women of Col
orado have registered for the purpose
of voting OF the coming election.
That does not look very much like a
failure to accept the suffrage when it
is placed within their reach.
1t will not be necessary for Senator
Hill to resign his position to accept the
governorship of New York. His Re-
publican opponent will lie elected by
large msjority, and Tammany will
receive a severe rebuke from the
people of the state.
Great vigor is being developed in
every state on political matters, and
Repu blicans have inaugurated cam
paign for protection to American in
dustrtns. There will no doubt be a
hot fight on this line, but sweeping
victory for Republicans is almost GER
tain.
Harper's Weekly, the Demo- Mug
wump organ, has arrived at the con-
clusion that of two evils confronting
it, Morton is the least. OF Hill it
says, "he is the embodiment in his own
person of all the bad tendencies in
politics" ;" Hill himself expresses it in
just four words-"I am q Democrat"
In reference to the war between
China and Japan there are conflicting
reports in regard to the former desir-
ing foreign Intervention to stop hos
tilities. The celestial empire has been
whipped in every battle; but, with her
800. 100000 of subjects she should not
acknowledge defeat at this early date.
1t seems that she lacks grit, and
quickly cries enough" at the FIRST re-
verse. The Japanese are spunky, and
insugurate war with a determination

the northwest will take stride for
ward that has been anxiously desired
for many. years, That harmony has
not existed heretofore is apparent to
any observer; but desirable change
has taken place In this regard, and it
is to be expected that Oregon, with
her varied resources, will take the po-
sition that nature designed she should
occupy. One part of great common
wealth cannot increase in wealth and
business to the detriment of the other
portions without eventually the policy
resulting Injurious to all. This fact
has become known, and the lesson
taught by practical experience in the
past will undoubtedly be beneficial in
the future.
