Silver Is Talking.

Japan expresses n Willingness to
talk peace. China has always been
ready. The cruel war is practically
over.
Occidental nations have been spec
ulating on the trade enlargements
which will follow this victorious as-
sault of modern science upon a sopor
itic civilization.
Surely the opportunity is n splendid
one. Nothing has occurred in the
century to develop at one stroke such
an activity in the distribution of pro.
ducts as would be brought about by
the entrance OF European and Ameri
can enterprise into the interior Of that
huge Empire.
Europe understands the opportun.
ity; and the depression of trade has
%quickened TO intensity the desireto get
at some great avenue of selling.
But docs Europe understand that
tho O%rientals use silver and almost no
other metallic money? Have the gold
standard nations reflected that to
jump into n magnificent trade it is
necessary to effect n system OF mono
tary exchange which will suit the
habits and resources OF ChinaH
Germany, France and England had
better DO urging that monetary con
ference and applying all their brains
to plans for not only extending tho
use OF silver but for giving it a full
money status all over the world.
Without achieving d remonetization
OF silver, Europe will discover that the
selling OF goods in China will be slow
work. China does not coin silver
hor people have not enough faith in
tho Government or in each other
The Chinese use the metal by weight.

THE STATE ASSESSMENT.

Twenty-nine of the 80 counties

Salem. These 20 counties show a
decrease Of 100000 from the
eqnalized assessment of last year
The 3 counties yet to hear from are
Multnomah, Umatilla and Benton.
Besides holding their own, these 3
counties must show an increase of
$1,000000 to make the total valu-
alton equal to that of last year.
A communication to the board
from the assessor of Josephine

ments and merchandise. were list

THE SockAL QUESTION:

We take the following just edi-
torial from the Corvallis Times:
Mrs. Hannah has been taken
to the penitentiary, and is serving
out life sentence for the killing of
Mrs. Hiatt 1t is alleged of her
crime that an intimacy between
her husband and the Hiatt woman
was the provocation for it. Thus,
with his mistress in her grave and
his sinned against wife in prison
for life, Hannah, the guilty man
whose lecherous antics brought on
the mischief, hangs from no sour
apple tree but, on the contrary, is
free as bird, ready perhaps and
looking for more decency to de-
bauch. The manner in which this
proud specimen Of his race sinks
out Of this affair, unscathed by the
law, and perhaps uncondemmed by
public opinion, is another evidence
of how society and the law hold
women accountable for what they
excuse in men.
Mrs. HaDnah probably deserves
all Of the punishment meted out to
her, but how many thousands Of
husbands, fred by jealousy, have
shot down in cold blood the fancied
rival, and been cheered by verdict
from the coroner's jury of 'justi-
fable homicide" How extremely
likely is it that if the man Hannah
had gone cunning for another man
whom he believed a meddler in his
domestic affairs, that thejury would
have kindly disagreed or mercifully
have returned a verdict of not
guilty.
Gas to the social circle, let a wo-
man make false step and she is
kicked out of society and the door
closed forever against her. She
may be willing to redeem herself, to
wipe out the stain, but a cold and
cruel world holds her at arms
length, reminds her Of her mistake,
and slams the door in her face
The man though, who has similar
ly erred rarely meets rebuff. Oft
he is heralded as the lion of the
hour, coddled by mammies and
spetted by lasses. The social nose
is not elevated at his approach,
though it slanted Heavenward at
an angle Of AS degrees at sight Of
his female victim. This is what
society does-it always forgives the
man; it never forgives the woman,
It is not right; it is all wrong; but
it is exactly what the world does,
and it is the fair and frail side Of
humanity that deals most harshly
with her own sex"
