backed up in stout talks by number OF
men, until Skaggs finally resumed the
reading OF the report, winch went on to

No Arrests Made.

JACKSONVILLE, Or, Nov ia young
man about 90 years old, Ed Maultby,
was dangerously wounded last night by
Frank Krump, the night watcbman of the
Sterling Mining Company. He was shot
in the small of the back with shotgun,
loaded with No. 6 shot, and the wound
indicat es that be received almost the full
charge. 1t appears that Maul.by and an
elder brother were working for tbe Cook
and Ankeny boys, recleaniug the bedrocB
which had been worked over by the COM
paDy and abandoned. The direct cause
of the shooting cannot at this time be as
certaiued. as there seems to be deter
mination on the part of all concerned to
suppress the facts ia the case, though It
is said that the shooting was entirely
.justiiable. The father of the young man
lives in Jacksonville, and the boy was
brought to town about o'clock this
morning. There is no .ak of arrest.
The young man is resting comfortably,
but the wound is considered dangerous. :.

Question Of Currency.

NEW YORK, Nov. AL is reported
that the president Is considering the idea
of submitting to the country plan for
currency reform. He believes the cur
rency system is inherently vicious, that
it is responsible for the financial ills
which recur 80 long as it is maintained. {.
The subject will be dominant feature
in his message to congress in December.
1t is said be will favor many of the sug~
gestions made by the baHkers' national
convention at B slnmore in September !.
What is known as the Baltimore plan,
adopted at that convention, appealed to
the president as having features of un-
doubted merit. He oo'ained a copy Ji
the plan, and since then has been study
ing and working on the subject. Briefly
stated, the Baltimore plan provides for
guarantee fund obtained by levying a
small tax upon all the banks. THIS fund
is to be used to pay the note2 of banks
which become iDsolveDt. Since 1t became
whispered among the financiers that the
president was preparing to address con
gress upon the currency system, so many
suggestions have reached him that be
thought it well TO gather some expert
opinion among bankers whom he could
not personally consult. Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Colonel H Jordan
is urging upon the president to recon-
mend to congress the appointment of 8
currency commission, not partisan in
character, and com posed of representa-.
tive men of all sections. which shall con-
slder the currency question in its various
bearings and report system of reform
to congress.

THE NEW CZAR.


"Our illustrous sovereign" as the
czar lately elevated to the throne of
Russia styles himself, has sent cir
cular letter TO his ministers and am
bassadors abroad. After paying
proper respect to his dead father, the
young emperor states that he will de-
vote all "hls strength to the develop
ment of the internal welfare OF
Russia" and that he will "deviate in
no way from the completely pacific,
loyal and firm policy which had con
tributed so greatly to the tranquility
of the world" This will be good news
to monarchs of Europe; but it Is very
doubtful if the young czar can keep
his head under a trying emergency.
He might think that the welfare OF
Russia demanded certain actions
which would be disastrous to the peace
of Europe, and hasty word might
cause long and lasting war. When
the peace of the old world, the lives of
thousands of people, and the misery
or happiness of men, women and
children are confided to the keeping
of one person, and ne just emerging
into mature manhood, the injustice of
nonarchical form of government is
apparent to all. And when the scion
of royalty, like the emperor of Ger
many, considers himself accountable
only to God for the manner in which
he exercises his po wer, monarchy ap-
pears to be another name for tyranny
and despotism. The basis upon which
tho governments of Europe rest, is a
wrong conception of human rights,
and it needs thorough revision from
a republican standpoint.

T .mmanvism, anarchy, and against all

I T,mmanvism, anarchy, and against all
the nondescript isms grouped under
anti Republican banners. There wa
no hasty Judgment in the fnalde-
cision. Opinion was made up after
investigation and experience, and
there never has been in the history of
the country more definite or en-
phatic EXPRESSION of distrust of ooe
party and confidence in the other than
was rendered at the election of Tues
day. The election was in fact one of
the most remarkable and one of the
most significant in the history of par
ties 1t was an uprising of the people
as full of meaning as when the question
of union or disunion brought the loyal
people of the land into the line of
battle in 1861. The effsct will be far
reaching, not only because of the over
whelming character of the victory, but
because of the deliberation with which
the people arrived at the conclusion
that determined the character of the
vote. 1t will effect not only this coun-
try but England. Nowhere viii the
judgment of the people be misunder-
stood. and futile will be the efforts to
set 1t aside"

THF RFASON.

Bro. Ireland since he has been edit
ing the Moro Observer has returned to
his first love. When he controlled
the columns of the Sam be was simon
pure Democrat, and free-trader; but
we are glad be has come back to the
fold. In the issue of last Thursday
he says: "The issues involved IN the
contest were the simplest possible.
Merely whether the people wished to
have the policy of the past two years
continued, or whether they desired
return to the better times that pre-
vailed before, or whether they would
like to experiment iu bringing about
such times as they have had and are
still having in the Argentine republic !"
The people could not be mlsled. They
bad experienced the most direful dis
tress since the Inauguration of Cleve-
land, and they could assign only one
cause for the change from prosperity to
and adversely. Wages were high, money
comparatively plentiful under the Re-
publican administrations, and a sudden
transition came. Factories closed
down, wages were reduced and money
was boarded by banks, and the Demo-
cratic party was managing national
affairs. As soon as possible, citizens
realizing the situation, went to the
ballot box and demanded return of
the Republican party to power. Their
vote was emphatic, and districts which
were formerly Democratic rolled up
Republican majorities. There is no
mistaking the meaning of the vote of
Tuesday, November 9th. 1t is pro-
test against Democratic mlsrule and
the foreign policy of free trade.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 15-Reporti
from the forest fires districts in this vi
cinity show that while the loss to prop.
erty is not great, considering the extent
of the territory covered the loss of life
exceeds expectations. Within Is miles oi
Memphis, three lives have been lost by

rumors of fearful burning in Arkansas,
where five lives were lost. The rename
of five human beings were found, the
flesh and clothing all burned off. in the
St. Francis bottom, all within quarter
of mile of each other. There are fears
that they are the remains of a party oil
hunters from Texas that went into that
country last week. but there is nothing
to support this except the number OF
bodies. The fatalities in this county
are peculiarly distressing. Fanny Woods
an aged negress, had her dress ignited as
she fled from the burning house, apd she
ran surrounded by the flames till she fell
dead. Pitt Roy, years old. ran into bis
fathers house, which was afre, to save
some property. The house collapsed

JUDGMENT OF THE PEOPLE.

Sufficient time has elapsed for the
recent Republican victory to be thoro-
roghly understood and the reasons
therefor to be ascertained- 1t was
undoubtedly tidal wave in favor of
reseatlng the old party again in power.
and in speaking of it the Inter Ocean
says:
"There have been several elections
in this country that marked epochs;
elections that were looked forward to
by earnest people as an opportunity
for recording popular sentiment, or
for reversing hasty verdicts, or for re-
buklng certain leaders, or coudemning
politics. Among the most memorable
was the election of 1868 in Ohio,
when Vallandingham was candidate
for governor, nominated by the Demo
Gratis on the theory that there was a
reaction against the policy of Presi-
dent Lincoln. The people of Ohio
waited impatiently for the oppor-
tunity to record their opinions, and
the outcome was an overwhelming
usjority for John Brough and the
policy of the administration.
"Another memorable occasion was
the election of 1868, when the issue
was sqnarely joined between the
Unionists and those who had opposed
the Republican reconstruction policy.
and the vote was so decisive in favor
of Repu blicanism that no one doubted
where the people stood. Quite as
memorable as the election of 1868
was that of Tuesday, Nov. 6, 1894
The people had had trial of Demo-
cratic policy, had tried the expert
ment of putting the Democrats in
power in the legislative and executive
branches of the government, had been
sitting in judgment for months, and
were waiting to pronounce sentence.
This explains the sweeping character
of the Republican victory, and no one
can misunderstood the drift of popu-
lr sentiment on the questions that
were plainly at issue.
"The judgment of the country is
against free trade, against Populism, J
