SATURDAY NIGHT.

The Senatorial fight OF the past week
has had as little interest as an old maid
IN the eyes OF young man. II 10 the
same old story Of Dolph against the field,
and Dolph or no one. There has been
no feature in the vote. 1t is peculiarly
fight between seventy-two republicans,
discreditable at nearly every step.
Yaquina Bay has been before the peo-
pie in prominent way. The improve
ment OF this body OF water so that 1t will
become harbor for the largest vessels
has been the desire OF ihe Isople of
this valley generally, for 1t would
mean much, particularly upon the con-
strEesion Of the Oregon Pacific to union
with an Eastern road. Now comes re-
port that IL is not worth further i'm
proyement and the further assertion
that an effort is being made to kill it by
the construction Of a groin into the Bay.
So earnest is the friendship oi our peo-
Pile Tor the Bay that We jump at the hrst
statement made. We would all like to
see the Bay deep sea harbor into which
the largest vessel could steam; but II II
transpires that the tide 10 against any
such result, we should do the next best
thing and at least secure for it further
improvements that will make it good
harbor permanently Tor coasting vessels.
Already as such it has, with the Oregon
Pacific, added FIVE or six cents to the
price OF wheat at all points on the line oil
the road. There are though. notwith-
standing Symon's report, strong grounds
to believe Yaquina can he made more
than hatbot for small vessels. Not SO
much has been spent but W al more
will be justified, and st least 500 feet
more should be added to the South Jet
ty. The best theories advanced make
IL extremely probable that such an ex-
tent;on would add several feet 10 the
depth On the bar.
This has been q week Of beautiful win
ter weather in the Willamette valley.
Mild and pleasant it has offered re-
markable contrast to the frigId climate
of the East. some oil the accounts oI
which present some startling incidents
which make as congratulate ourselves
that we live in such an agreeable eli
male.

Hoarding Gold for Speculation.

There is great gambling game going
on with gold, and the World seems to
have its eyes on the game. 1t says:
The World has asked the banks why
they are boarding sSl ,000. GOO of gold for
which they have no use whatever. Their
replies are eyasive, shifty, insincere.
They have no obligations payable in gold.
Their notes are redeemab:e not ty them
selves hut by the government, and not
in gold but in greenbacks. The checks
drawn by their depositors are payable in
paper alone. and in fact are paid in
nothing eise. There is no possible reas-
on for them +. hoard gold except that
they expect premium upon it or that
they wish to force the Government to
borrow money which it does not need.
Their talk about country banks occasion
ally demanding gold remittances is iold-
srol. They can go to the Sub-Treasury
upon every such occasion and exchange
greenbacks for gold IN any quantity they
please. The banks still owe 10 the pub
lie an answer to the Worlds question:.

To-day all questions give way to f.
nance. Other subject. at one time
uppermost are not now mentioned 1t
is all finance. 4 great subject, too, one
over which great men disagree. But
other subjects are not dead, They are
simply lying dormant. The tariff at
the proper time will again demand at
Jention. When the clouds roll by il
will be found that the democratic policy
is the right one; that reduction Of the
tariff rates. means greater business for
the country, cheayer goods for the mass
es, and at tie same time good prices for
the manufacturer, who. Instead OF being
satisfied with reasonable profits has
wanted simply fabulous profits on his
products.

The following is as good athing as has

refused to sign the deed. When the
lawyer who had the matter in charge be-

she thought part OF the money for the
farm should be given to her for her own.
When asked how much she thought she
ought to have. she said. Il think ought

The Statesman refers to one OF the bills
in the legislature as follows:
Senator Holt, the populist member
from jackson, made an allie appeal in
the senate yesterday morning in the in
terest OF his bill asking that the three
great parties ue recognized by county
courts in the appointment Of judges and
clerks of election. 1t was an earnest
effort to secure the enactment OF law
calculated to purify the ballot. After
long debate Dawson moved to re-commit
Z, the judiciary with instructions to
amend so that the bill would not apply

bill unconstitutional, such action would
kill the bill effectually. The objections

A Lawyers Experience.

The practice Of law trings up many pc
culiar phases The lawyer must be ready
for anything; but it is not often that he is
called upon 10 do what a San Diego lawyer
has just been Obliged TO do. Here is the
case. As result of two orders from Court
and the verdict of jury. Attorney J. S.
Callen has been placed in a peculiar posi-
tion. The first order came from Judge
Pierce, who selected Attorney Callen to de-
fend B. Long. accused of attempting to ex-
tort money from J. strickler. the Vista
merchant.
Long was penniless and hid no friends
end under those conditions it became the
duty Of the Court to assign MIN an attor-
ney, for which the attorney is allowed no
compensation. Calen took the feeless case
and proceeded to make the best of it. He
soon found the defense was limited, and
the testimony against his client was strong,
but in their conferences the client men
toned that ne had an insane brother.
That was the cue. Cailen pleaded insanity
on tho part of his client and SO convinced
the jury that they returned verdict of
Not guilty ny reafon of insanity.
Long protested that he was not insane
and is still complaining with much e,npha-
sis against Imprisonment, but Calien
thought he should re thankful.
Such a verdict from the jury made it in
cumbent upon Judge Torrance 10 call an
other jury to examine into Longs sanity
and thus determine his fntnre custody and
for it would not do to let the
insane man go at large. This became o
separate case and Long must be represent
Ell by an attorney whose business it will be
to show the jury that Long is not insane
For this work the Court has asappointed J S.
Callen, who has just proved to the satis-
faction of the other jury that Long is in
sane. The case is set for February 10 and
will be- watched with interest.
