NOW AND THEN.

The remark is credited to Governor
Lord and Secretary of State Kincaid
that "Oregon has enough people now. :"
These gentlemen may have made this
assertion; but it is not generally be-
ieved. If they did it is not far differ
ent from a statement made at a meet
ing of the board of trade of this city
a few years ago, when prominent
citizen said that Wasco county had
enough population, and should not in
duce any more people to make their
homes in this portion of the state.
We have no-doubt there are very many
residents of Oregon, who anxiously
wish for return of the old times,
when there were no railroads and but
one or two newspapers. Life to them
then was one continuous picnic, and
they were not troubled by any of the
many annoyances that are inseparable
from the advance of civilization. If
they desired to visit neighbor few
miles distant they went to the stable
and saddled the old horse. and made
the trip leisurely. Now they are
forced to be on time If they want to
make journey; because the train will
not wait for them. 1t was usually
safe method OF travel and did not pro-
duce any bad effects on the nerves as
the modern tightening express does.
The week night meeting at the school
house or attendance at church on Sum
days gave them all the opportunities
they wanted to see and converse with

IS HE INSANEs

There is man in California who has
confessed to the murders of Blanche
Lamont and Minnie Williams in the
Emanuel church iu San Francisco, and
who has voluntarily surrendered him
self to the authorities. His story is
not generally credited, and very many
believe him insane. While every one
desires the brutal murderer of these
girls punished for the crime, yet no
one wishes to see Durapt hanged if he
can prove his innocence. 1t is rea-
sonable proposition that no sane man,
who is not guilty of murder, would make
a false confession of the crime simply
to undergo the punishment or to make
himself notorious. Very few sane men.
who could commit such heinous Of
fense as to take the life of another
without provocation, have sufficiently
susceptible conscience to acknowledge
guilt. They usually die protesting
their innocence, and this will follow
as a natural sequence of their vicious
lives, The murder of these girls was
planned, and gave evidence
Of having been concocted by a man of
more than ordinary intelligence. From
it is very doubtful if the
man who lives in Santa Cruz has the
mental capacity to commit the deed
and carefully cover his tracks as he
mas done, if his story is to be believed.
But the case is on trial, and, notwith-
standing the revolving details have
been published in the press, we are as !
'ured Durrant will have all possible
opportunities to prove his innocence.
de is defended by able counsel, who will
watch every point in his favor, and
Vho will attempt to save him from the
,allows even if he is guilty. J

REPORTS VERIFIED.
The Killing Of Settlers and Indians Con-
Armed-Alarm Felt.

The Killing Of Settlers and Indians Con
| hrmed-Alarm Felt.
CHICAGO. July PA special from
PocatellO, Idaho, says:
The Indian war has broken out in
earnest. Union Pacific Engineer
Robert Fitzpatrick, who pulled the
northbound freight into Pocatello last
night, confirmed the report that the
Bannock Indians killed q settler, his
wife and child, in the Salt river valley,
and that the white men pursuing the
Indians, killed six of them before they
escaped to the mountains.
Mailcarrier Vail, who arrived at
Montpelier from Star valley, also told
the same story.
The excitement among the settlers
in northwestern Wyoming over the
threatened uprising of the Bannocks
and Shoshone Indians is growing more
intense daily. They are leaving their
ranches in large numbers and gath ,r.
ing at favored points for mutual pro-
lection in case the Indians return to
seek vengence for the death of their
brother braves.
The story of the killing of three
whites and six Indians is spreading
alarm at rapid rate. Ihnumerable
pleasure parties have given up contem-
plated trips into the mountain country.
which abonnds in sport of all kinds,
this season. The settlers, too are be-
coming thoroughly aroused, and if they
are not soon protected by government
troops. they will take the field in pro-
lection of their own homes and lives.
1t is also stated that the foraging
Bannocks are seeking supplies of gov
ernment rations forwarded by those re-
naming at the reservation, and that
700 Shoshone bucks from the Wind
river reservation have started to aid |
the Bannocks. Further news from the
Indian country is anxiously awaited.

their fellows, and furnished them with
the current neighborhood news. Now
there is a constant stir and excite.
nent, and to keep abreast with the
times they are taxed to support daily
papers. When they go to town now
they are forced to wear "store Clothes"
and are jostled and jammed by the
crowds on the streets. In pioneer days
life was calm and quiet in its flow
as the meadow stream; now there are
turbulent currents and rapids, that
force one to use pluck and
energy to keep on the surface.
The comparison might be continued
almost without limit, between 'now"
and "then," and the disturbing ele-
ments to quiet existence have all
been brought about by people coming
west and making homes here. Some
undoubtedly prefer the hustle of active,
energetic business life to the quiet
days of auld lang syne, and these are
uO tHO dCClSF- Oddo puiAu
cities out of hamlets; that mature
schemes for the construction of rail:
roads, inaugurate manufacturing in
dustries and furnish attractions and
means of support for an increase of
population. They undoubtedly help
to develope resources, and are the
means of increasing the wealth of COM
munities and individuals. Without
them there would be no advancement,
and the world today would be where it
was thousand years ago. Oregon
has many of these desirable factors OF
enterprise and developments: but a
few of the old mossbacks still remain,
and are dead weight to the progress
of any city. 1t is to be hoped that
our executive and secretary of state
are not of this number; but are active.
enterprising citizens, who desire to
see Oregon take her place as one OF
the great commonwealths of the
nation, and earnestly desire all the
accessions possible of desirable classes
of people.

THF COLON STRIKE.
Not Probable That warship win be
Sent to the Isthmua.

Not Probable That q Warship VIII be
Sent to the Isthmus.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The appre-
hension of serious trouble on the
isthmus of Panama, owing to the
strike of the railway employees, was
considerably relieved by the receipt of
telegram today from United States
Consul General Vifquain, at Panama,
stating that the governor of the
province of Panama had assured the
consul-general of his ability to main
tain order there. 1t is therefore i'm
probable that warship will now be
dispatched to the isthmus, unless affairs
assume more threatening aspect than
they are at present. The United
States steamship Atlanta has quilted
the Florida coast, where she has been
lying of the port of Key West for q
week past, and arrived in Havana
yesterday, 80 it would be available for
service at Colon If it is deemed neces-
sary to send q war ship there. Some
mystery is made at the depart
ment Of the Atlanta's mission on the
Cuban coast, and no one will say what
her destination is. There is, however,
reason to believe that, as a result of
the special cabinet meeting held in
Washington last week, Secretary Her.
bert abandoned his intention to leave
the Florida coast and the West Indies
without naval vessel, and has ordered
the Atlanta to remain on the watch to
head off the flibustering expedition
which the Spanish ministir reported
was about to clear from some point in
the United STATES for Cuba.

FOREST RESERVES.

We have been shown Washington
dispatch of a late date in which it is
stated that the secretary Of the interior
has instructed the attorney general to
direct the q. S. district attorneys in
Oregon and California to proceed GRIM
inally against trespassers on the
forest reservations of the United
States. As yet we have not heard of
any action having been taken, and
considered that the fockmasters would
not be disturbed after Senator Mitchell
had called upon the secretary of the
interior and induced him to make a
rescission Of the order. The pastures
on the foot hills of Mt. Hood furnis b
excellent feed for sheep during the
summer season, and no other is avail
able to sheepmen during that part of
the year. Early in the winter sheep
are driven out of the mountains and
taken to the home pastures. The
wool industry is an important one in
Eastern Oregon, and especially in the
counties bordering on the COlumb ia
river. Cultivation of the land has
destroyed many natural pastures, and
those engaged in wool-raising are
forced to go long distances to find
grass! While there may be some ar
gument in keeping the Cascade res
ervation free from grazing flocks for
the benefit of huntsmen, yet the ex-
port Of wool is Of greater benefit to
Oregon than anything furnished by
sporting clubs in killing game. 1t |
may be royal amusement for residents |
of cities to have natural parks in which
they can hunt bear, deer, cougar and
other wild animals; but these should
not be set apart to the detriment of the
producers of such staple article as
wool. We hope our delegation in
will see that this law is
at the next session of con.
yress, and that pasture lands, which
have become very scarce in the last
'ew years, are not further dim
nished by setting apart wild tracts
or huntsmen to follow the chase.

MORE BONES FOUND.
The Examination of Holmes House Con-
tinues.

The Examihation of Holmes House Con-
tinues.
CHICAGO, July 25.-In the basement
of Holmes charnel house today
several more bones and small pieces of
dress goods were found. One of the
bones found, shoulder-blade, was
apparently that of an adult. The
other socket bone was small and ap-
peared to be that of child. The police
by their discovery today were con-
firmed in the belief that the skeletons
being uncovered were those of the
missing Mrs. Connor and her daughter,
Mrs. w. L. Lloyd, told the police today
that the missing daughter of Pat Quin-
Ian, Holmes ex-janitor, is with her
grandparents, near South Haven
Mich.
The police, after an extended inter-
view with Mrs. Doyle, became con-
vinced that she would be an important
witness. She disclaimed any partic-
ular knowledge of the case, but in an
unguarded moment remarked that the
picture of the Pietzel children pub
lished in the Chicago papers were
good ones. She acknowledgedthats she
knew the family slightly.
Mrs. Pat Quinlan, the wife of
Holmes ex-janitor, was found today.
What evidence she will be able to give
against Holmes the police refused to
say.
In talking to a reporter Mrs. Doyle
said one of the prettiest women who ever
came under Holmes influence is also
missing. Her name was Miss Gig
grand. She was originally from In
diana Mrs. Doyle was on the point
of giving further information when.
the police curtly ordered her to cease
talking.
William L. Doyle, the woman's hus-
band, a mason and contractor, said
that in the latter part of 1891 he rented
the fat in the Holmes block that had
been occupied by the missing Mrs.
Connor her daughter. He and his
wife became acquainted with Holmes
and Minnie Williams. Doyle said that
the Connors' disappearance dated
from 1891 instead of 1893, as has been
reported.

Things are Serious.

DENVER, July 23.-A special to the
Times from Cheyenne, Wyo., says:
Governor Richards received message
at noon today from Adjutant-General
Sitter, who is in the Jackson Hole
region, investigating the Indian
trouble, indicating that serious state
of affairs exist there. The settlers
have abandoned their crops and are
moving their families out OF the
country. The Indians from Fort Hall
and other reservations are reported
going into the country All mountain
passes are in their control.
Definite information is awaited by
the state authorities as to the success
of the Intian police in inducing the
hostiles to return to their reservations
before sending state troops to the
scene of the trouble.

THE CHICAGO DEBATE.

The debate in Chicago between |
Hon. r. G. Horr and Mr.. Harvey, the
author OF "Coin's Financial School,"
has created considerable interest all
over the country, and each days dis
cussion is read in the daily papers
with increasing concern. On the
question of the unit it has been clearly
proved that the silver dollar was
adopted by act of congress of 1892 as
the unite of value; but from a letter of
Jefferson and also from statement of
the director of the mint in Phil
adelphia it is further shown
that there was a gold unit in
circulation from the beginning Of our
existence as sovereign state, and
this was acknowledged in all COM
mercial transactions. The attempt
of the founders of the republic was to
establish bi-metallism; but the people
being accustomed to the silver dollar,
and it being of convenient proportions,
it was the popular unit or measure OF
value. Mr.. Horr made one point that
was acknowledged by Mr.. Harvey and
must be endorsed by every reasonable
man, and that was-a unit must be
stable, and cannot be at a discout or
premium, no more than a yard as
measure can increase and diminish.
In 1906. President Jefferson instructed
his secretary of state to stop the coin
age of dollars at the mint ,and restricted
them to the issuance of half-dollars,
quarters and dimes. For this reason
only 1900 silver dollars were issued
from 1906 to 1910. and in 1S43 congress
took action and established gold dol
lay as unit: but on account of its
smallness it was never popular
and the mints stopped issuing them.
The reason that Mr.. Jefferson stopped
the minting of dollars was that silver
in bullion became more valuable than
the coin, causing the dollars to be
melted up and the country to suffer for
the want of this circulating medium.
From fair, unprejudiced view of the
matter, one is forced to the conclusion
that, although the act of congress pro-
vided that the silver dollar should be
redemption money and the unit of
value, yet in commercial transactions
and the mints of the United States
there were two units recognized-one
of gold and the other of silver. Statu-
tory provisions cannot control busi-
ness transactions, and the merchant
and dealer will always place the
greater confidence in that coin which
auctuates the least, and which will in
sure the higher degree of certainty
and stability in business. This is es-
pecially true of the commerce between
nations.
Mr.. Harvey has most difficult task
to perform in his attempt to prove that
the act of 1873, demonetizing silver,
was a conspiracy, and passed congress
by fraudulent means. Mr.. Horr will
keep him closely to all points, and he
will have no opportunity to evade the
proof of any statement he may make.
Perhaps this debate may not furnish
conclusive evidence to any one regard
ing the truth or falsity of the assump-
tions of partisans on these great ques-
tions; but the people will have facts
before them. and from these every in
telligent man can form conclusions.

POLITICAL PROSPECTS.


The Republicans of the country
never more nearly united on national
issues than they are at present, and
they will enter the campaign next
year with the brightest hopes of sue
cess. For over thirty years Democracy
has not been able to retain power
only a few years, when, by some ILL
advised legislation contrary to its
pledges the people have become dis
appointed and given the reins of gov.
ernment to, Republicans. This was
true in 1888, when Mr.. Harrison was
elected, and history will repeat itself
in 1896. The platform of principles
upon which Mr.. Cleveland was elected
in 1892, and the promises made during
that campaign, have all been violated
By the Democrats. They have nothing
on which they may hope to gain public
favor, and the record they have made
during the past three years has been
destructive to American progress and
American Industries. The elections
during the past year have fully de-
monstrated the fact that the Demo-
cratic party no longer retains the con-
fdence of the people, and-a restoration
to the old policy of protection is an
anxiously desired.
The Republican party will stand on
the platform of 1892, and the principles
enunciated then will insure them VIC
tory at the ballot box. 1t is useless for
Democrats to say that the tariff is a
dead issue. This is not fact, and the
people are more strongly in favor of
protection than ever before. The
american Economist has secured the
opinions of 1O1 senators and represen
tatives in congress, and of large
number of the editors OF prominent
newspapers in all parts Of the country,
all of whom believe in the necessity
for tariff revision along the line of
protection to American industries.
There are letters from three congress-
men of Kentucky who declare them
selves to be protectionists, and they
are joined by three from Tennessee,
four from Missouri, one from Texas,
two from West Virginia, and senator
from Delaware. OF the newspaper
opinions there are letters from the west
and south, quite as pronounced in favor
of the protection idea as any from New
England.
Since the recent state elections and
the partial revival Of business because
the people have taken courage and are
preparing for the the good times
coming, Democrats have credited it to
the operation of the Wilson bill. But
they will not be successful in making
the public believe this delusion; for
manufacturers, artisans and laborers
fully realize what followed the change
in 1892, and from the Republican VIC
tories at the different state elections
know that next year there will be a
restoration of the old party in all the
elective branches of government.
From..its inception theRepublican'party
has favored protection, and they have
had no reason to change their adher-
ence sduring the present Democratic
control of national affairs. There
does not seem possible chance to de-
feat the Republican party next year,
and, whether the standard bearer is
Mckinley, Reed, Lincoln, Harrison or
Allison, the nominee Of the national
convention will be president of the
United States for the four years follow
ing March 4, 1897.
