TREASURY DEFICIT.

President Cleveland has again called
the attention of congress to the fact of
the deficit in the treasury, and to the
necessity of doing something to stop
the constant drain of gold. While the
measures he recommend may give
room to discussion, yet it ls the duty
of patriotism, when the truth is known.
to stand firmly in support of any
scheme that will save the credit of the
nation abroad and establish confidence
at home. The argument of the sd-
vocates of free silver, that national
obligations should not be paid in gold,
is nothing short of repudiation, and
repudiatiou is dishonesty. There is
no intention among honest Democrats
or Republicans, of substituting any
thing in payment of the bonds but the
money which is current in the CONNER
clal world. To do this there must be
another issue of bonds, or some plan
formulated as President Cleveland
suggests. The message presents the
financial status in a clear light, and
something must be done to avert
threatened bankruptcy. This contin-
ual agitation of the money question;
the attempt of the people, in certain
portions of the United States, to adopt
the widest vagaries as systems of
finance; and, perhaps, not the least,
the wild craze in parts of the west, for
unlimited coinage of silver, all have a
tendency to make foreign holders of
onr securieties tremulous regarding the
result. They are fearful that some
action of congress will he taken to
make the payment in deprecated
currency, and they are drawing their
money while gold is the standard. If
there ever was a time, since the dark
days following the civil war, when
clear headed statesmen are needed in
Washington it is nov; and these fall
lacies, which are making peope wild
on money matters, need to be- stamped
out with an iron heel.

Danger Of War pnssea.

WASHINGTON, Jan. so 1t is understood
that preliminary agreement has been
reached by Mexican and Guatemalan rep
resentatIves in Washington for the set
tlement OF the boundary dispute by arbi-
trstiop. which needs only the approval of
the two governments to become effective.
no doubt is entertained that President
Diaz will give his approval to the D! Al
which has already received the approval
OF President Barrios. Full confidence is
expressed in official circles that war is
now out of the question, aud tha, the
quarrel will be permanently ended by an
entirely amicsble agreement honorable
alike to Guatemala and Mexico.

oeived the nomination. This settled
the contest with Republicans, and Will
son was elected ON the first ballor.
Hon. John A. Wilson was member of
congress from Washington during the
last session, and has some acquaintance
with legislation. He is citizen of
Spokane, and this gives our neighbor-
ing state one senator from eastern and
one from western Washington. If
Oregon Republicans would follow the
example of those of Washington, they
would end the deadlock at Salem; and
keep themselves in the line with sound
party methods by electing the caucus

cLEyELAND AND SHERMAN.

The report that President Cleveland
has been in consultation with Senator
Sherman is significant, says the St.
Louis Globe. Democrat 1t probably
msans that an endeavor Is being made
by the administration to secure Re-
publican aid for some measure of re-
lief for the treasury. The finance
question is about the only one that
could have any chance to bring these
statesmen together. 1t is likely that
the president realizes by this time that
the only hope of satisfactory currency
legislation in the present congress lies
in actively enlisting the Republicans
in its favor. Undoubtedly the best
way for the president to communicate
with the Republicans on this issue is
through their oldest and most capable
leader, John Sherman. Whatever
promise John Sherman has made the
president on the finance question will
probably be indorsed by the whole of
the Republicans in congress.
Both Sherman and Allison, however,
had already taken steps to help the
treasury out of Its difficulties SO far as
this could be done in advance of q
heavy increase in receipts or decrease
in expenditures. Each has presented
a bill to amend the resumption law OF
1876 in such way that low interest
and short-time bonds can be sold by
the secretary of the treasury. The
hills differ somewhat from each other
in detail, but they resemble each other
in; general scope and purpose. Under
each the government could obtain gold
under greater advantages than are pro-
vided by the law as it stands at pre-
sent. In their broader lines each
measure has something in common
with one which Sherman prepared
during the extra session Of 1898, bat
which vas not acted on. Any bill in
this field which either Sherman or
Allison presents can be relied oa to be
adequate for the emergency.
But is there any assurance that any
finance measure framed by a Repub-
llcan can be enacted during the life
time of this congress7 Perhaps either
the Sherman or the Allison bill. if

may get through the senate before the
middle of February, bat its chances
would not be favorable in the house.
That body. with its more than ninety
Democratic plurality, and with large
part of its Democratic membership de-
feated and discredised at the Novem-
Der election, is not in the mood to

the administration, which it imagines |
to be responsible for the party's over
throw. However, this obstruction
should not deter the Republicans Of
the senate from assisting their leaders,
Sherman and Allison, in the endesvor
to relieve the treasury. The revenues
are increasing, and the end of the
monthly deficits is probably close at
hand, but the fact that the gold fund
is below the $70.0OO.OO0, and is
dropping is an evidence that
at least one more bond sale will have
20 be made.

A FREE SILVER FIGHT.

1t may be fact that the free coin
age of silver is not an importan! factor
In the senatorial contest at Salem; but
from the views of those who are op-
posed to the election of Mr., Dolph one
would infer that such was the case.
The Portland Sam, which led the OPP
position from the first, and now in
fuses life into the wavering ranks of
the boilers, is strong advocate of free
silver. On this ground principally
has the editor of that paper urged on
the fight against the senior senator,
and, after the caucus gave Mr.. Dolph
the nomination, loudly called for
Spartans to hold the pass of Their
mopyIae at Salem against the onslaught
of the friends of sound money. As
result, some of those who had plighted
their faith to abide the decision Of the
caucus, proved traitors to the trust
reposed in them. The Patterson
brothers, proprietors of the Heppner
Gazette and Long Creek Eagle, are
also in the front rank of the opponents
of the caucus nominee, and both these
papers have advocated the unlimited
coinage of the white metal. In point
of fact, there is not paper in Oregon |
that favors free coinage, Populist or
Democratic, that is not urging on the
battle against Mr.. Dolph. 1t is true
that the recreant member of the leg
isiature from this county is actuated by
another motive in addition to free
silver, and this appears to be sense
less antsgonism of the A. p A who
claim that Mr.. Dolph has advocated
something at some time that was favor
able to Roman Catholics. Judging
from these Indicators, it is only fair to
draw the conclusion that the opposi-
tion to Mr.. Dolph is grand effort On
the part of the friends of free silver in
this state backed up by the pecuciary
interests of certain portions of the
west, to capture senator from Oregon
To accomplish this end every effort
