CAPT. SYMoNs GOES EAST.


Cart T ". Symous. OF the corps OF
United States engineers. who has heea
stationed n the Pacific Northwest with
headquarters a. Portland for the last six
years has been transferred 20 ar Eastern
district. according % Yesterdays Ore

he received Official notice that BY direction
OF the secretary OF var. he was 70 turn

Mai Runaer, on being relieved. viii come
70 Portland and take charge Of the duties
temporarily transferred 10 Mai. Post. The
Oregonisn continues:
This change is in the natural order %
things. as Capt Symons has been here
longer than engineers usually remain AZ
one station. There have been a number
OF retirements from the corps OF engineers
OF late and many changes. which the old
chief OF engineers, Gen. Casey. had defer
red making are now being made
The port OF Buffalo is very important
station. there being a number of other
harbors In the same district as Erie Dun
kirk ard others, beside several rivers 20
Re looked after. and il is more important
now. in view OF the prospect OF a shin
canal being built from Buffalo TO New
York to give American shipping and war
access without
having 20 pass through foreign waters
Capt Symons would have no objections
70 remaining longer in Portland, but has
been aware for some time that his trans
fer was contemplated. He has had charge
Of all the improvements along the coast
OF this state, on the Sound and the upper
waters OF the Columbia, and the Snake
rivers and has gained the respect and es-
TEEN OF all with whom he has been
brought into contact. 1t will take his sue
cessor several years 10 become as we'll ac-
ouainted with the various works he will
have under his charge"
Capt Symons has had charge Of the gov
eminent work on the Sound and has
shown himself not only an engineer OF
great ability, but a firm friend OF Seattle
II was under his direction that the SURVEYS
for the government canal were made, and
he prepared the plans fer the harhor i'm
provements which are now being carried
ont by the Seattle & Lake Washington
Waterway Company. When that company
was assured OF the money TO carry out ITS
enterprise, il appointed Capt Symons chief
engineer. and his favorable report on the
feasibility Of the South canal project was
largely instrumental in inducing the st
Louis capitalists 10 take IL up. He will re-
tain his position with the waterway com
pany, and is now preparing the detailed
plans for the South canal lock and other
parts OF the great undertaking.
Capt. Symons has for the last year ex-
pected to be ordered to another district as
il is the practice of the war department 10
only keep an engineer stationed in one dis
ed in the Northwest simply TO carry on the
public works on which he is engaged to a
point where they can be conveniently
transferred 10 his successor.

POPULISM AND PETTIGREw.
Senator Pettigrew at the ban
quet given the South Dakota edi-
tors at Sioux Falls on Tuesday of
last week delivered an address in
which one not knowing his poll
tics would have declared him q
populist Of the rankest kind. He
said:
&C.. The metropolitan press is
. souless concern-an impersonal
unpatriotic and evil institution.
The business Office now controls
the editorial columns Of the great
newspaper and the individuality or
inspiring patriotism Of the editor
was lost in the shuttle. Corpora
tions and trusts, the monstrosities
of modern civilization we're now
grinding the people under the heel
OF despotism, and unless there
is relief by q spontaneous uprie-
ing OF the intelligent and aroused
voters, the country would soon be
in the hands Of the devil and the
bondholder."
The senator has here told q
world Of truth and we only wish
that more Of the voters in this
country could realize the truth Of
his statement regarding the great
metropolitan papers. These great

what il done must be done shortly
or in our opinion they will have
lost their right to govern. We
cannot expect an immediate change
back to normal OF just conditions,
it must come by the same road
that We lost it. The people have
an opportunity to right q gravious
wrong, in the election Of 1896, .
wrong which three-fourths Of the
people in this country admit and
one which has centralized millions
Of wealth into the hands Of . few
and that is the denomination of
silver. If the people love their
they will strike : deadly
blow at this attempt ct usurpation
ON the part Of the money power put
silver back to where it belongs as
money, not that this is our greatest
grievance, or tho most needed re-
form, but it is the one best under
stood and most universally de.
manded. The effect Of a victory
by the people over this power Of
AVERAGE and unjust accumulation
of wealth, which has gone on for
a century steadily with victory
after victory over the people
would be wonderful. It would
lend Encouragement to the half
votsr and give new life
and interest in our elections. and
lead them on to greater success.
Will they do It or will they be
led off into the blind prejudice Of
party as in days past? We cannot
believe they can be deceived any
longer, but will join with the party
which unequivoca]ly declares for
free and unlimited coinage of
silver. Let the popalist party
keep this banner waving from its
masthead and never miss an
opportunity to impress this fact
upon the water.

FIFTY GENT L
From Denver Road.

1.-THE American people do not
want q 50 cont dollar is tho f.
|vorite assertion Of the gold stan
dard advocate. Il thank thee,
Jew; for teaching me that word"
Tho American people do not want
. 50 cont dollar and the great
struggle now going on between
them and organized greed bears
evidence Of the fact. They are
rapidly discovering, too, what q
$50 cont dollar" is, and Why they
dc not want it. In the recent con-
troversy between the water COM
pany in Denver and the citizens,
many Of the latter attempted to
tender the company payment for
water service, but every one offer
ing National Bank bills was told
that such currency was not a legal
tender. In every case the COM
pany refused it and the citizens
were forced to exchange the bills
for some other kinds of currency.
Whom silver was offered it was
not refused. In this way many
people, for the first time under
stood that National Bank bills
were not q legal tender. Recently
in indianapolis q gentleman ten
dered the Capitol National bank
Of that city one Of it's own bills
asking that he be given gold in
exchange. He was informed that
the bank did not give gold in ex
change for its notes. Three
other banks we're tried and each
refused to make the exchange,
either fol the bank bill or for q
hundred dollar greenback, and the
man was told by Mr.. Jno. p Fren-
eel, president of the Merchants
National bank, that not q bank in
indianapolis would pay out gold
in redemption of any kind Of
paper money.
Here then is the real, actual $50
cent DOLLAR" Of which we have
heard 90 much. That dollar will
not pay q debt unless the credi-
tors choose to receive it. That
dollar is repudiated by it's own
makers. That dollar is the ma
tional bank note; while the poor,
despised silver dollar is a legal
tender, and will pay all the debts
except those protected by that in
famous clause originated by it's
enemies unless otherwise stipula-
ted in the contract'O owed by the
people of the United States.
For this reason the people de-
mand that it shall be furnished
them in ample quantity, and also
demand that tho Infamous excep-
ton clause be abolished. The
people not only "know q good
thing when they see it." but they
also know q poor thing, and are
fast discovering how poor a thing
the so cent dollar national bank
note is. and how good a thing they
have when they possess an I'M
: limited legal tender silver dollar.
