OFFICIAL BEES.

This is about the proper time for
presidential and congressional bees to
be buzzing around, and disturbing the
peaceful slumbers of otherwise quiet
and amiable citizens. We do not ex-
pect any candidates from Oregon for
the national executive chair, but per-
sons who would willingly sacrifice the
ease and comfort of an ordinary quiet
western existence for two years. resi-
dence in Washington City as repre-
sentatives of this great and growing
commonwealth are very numerous.
Last year the state gave Republican
majority of 10000, and this makes the
ambitious, benevolent and self-sacri-
icing members of that party very in
tense in their ardor for nomina-
tions. The Republicans last year had
everything in their favor, and they
gathered votes from every nook and
corner. Next year, we believe, it will
be qaite different,and whoever re-
ceives the nomination for any Office of
Importance will be forced to carry on
his shoulders the burdens caused by
the last legislature. He will be
called upon to defend during the cam
paign the assinine actions of the bolt
ers, and the broken pledges of the
party's representatives at Salem last
winter. Whether he can do this sue
cessfully will be decided at the ballot
box in June, 1896. But, notwithstand-
ing all these disadvantages, the con-
gressional and other bees will keep
buzzing until after the nominating
conventions are held, and until that
time the party will have more firm
supporters than at any time afterwards.

little slow in disappearing alto
gether, but whether it moves slowly or
quickly, we know that it is getting
away from us, and that it cannot come
back. The monthly deficits have
reached their greatest figure; the gold
fund has touched it's lowest level.
Every change in conditions that comes
will be change for the better.
Herein is the reason why treasury
deficits are no longer protentous.
Even at the worst their days cannot
now be long in the land. The general
tendency of things everywhere in the
financial and business world is toward
improvement. This is true of Europe
as we'll as of the United States. What
ever may have been the immediate and
contributory cause of recent business
stagnation the ultimate causes mus
have been universal, for their effects
were worldwide. The recovery which
has set in is equally general and perva-
sive. The treasury may not be prompt
in rejecting the improved conditions,
but even there the change will soon be

BUSINESS REVIVAL.

From 200 or more commercial men
travelling over the west and northwest,
the Chicago Tribune collects statements
in regard to the condition of business.
The interviews are almost unanimously
to the effect that, except in Colorado,
Kansas and South Dakota, the spring
trade averages Is to 25 per cent better
than that of year ago. In some sec
tions the situation resembles "boom"
and the recent rainfall has helped on a
remarkable improvement in agricul-
tural prospects all over the Mississippi
valley. Letters received by local
merchants from the iron and steel
trade are of the same tenor. One
Pittsburg firm writes of the undoubted
strength of the market for ore, coke,
pig iron, steel billets and everything
entering into manufacture, as well as
the advance of wages to workingmen,
which would indicate that an increase
in the prices of finished products must
inevitably follow. Railroad companies
and other iron consumers have been
scrimping so in their purchases for
two years past that speedy and gen.
sral revival of the demand is in pros
Oect.

THE EASURYAND BUSINESS

There is significance in the fact that
the threatened shortage of $1,000, 600
or 1000, 900 in the revenues for April
attracts no especial attention, says an
eastern exchange. Two years ago,
when the treasury gold dropped below
the 800, 1000, 900 line, the country was
alarmed and the financial convu1sion
came. The revenues at that time,
though, were not greatly below the ex-
penditures, and deficits snch as have
come since were not in sight. No such
drop in governmental income as oc-
Cured later was expected, nor did any,
body dream that the gold fund would
go down to as low level as was
touched in 1894 and 1895. In certain
sense, that is to say, the actual condi
tion of the treasury, is worse than it
was when the panic came, and yet no
body is frightened.
The reason for this change in the
public temper is easily set forth. In
1898 the danger, whether great or
small, was ahead, but now it is behind.
AS the extent of the peril was un-
known fear magnifed it and thus has
tened and intensified it. The country
since then has met the peril face to
face and has overcome it. We know
the worst now that was in store for us,
and that worst has passed. 1t may be

FLUCTUATTON IN SILVER.

The silver question is the all-absorb-
ing one at present, and the following
article and carefully prepared table
from the New York Sun dispel many
illusions, as implicit reliance can be
placed on them:
''As the reheating of the silver ques-
tion has revived the need of consider
ing various points of it over again. we
take up an obstinate old delusion
which we find in recent edition of
one of silver's more vehement cham
pions, the Indianapolis Sentinel:
"'The great mass of both bimetal-
lists and free coinage men in this
country believe that the apparent de-
cline Of average prices and the appar-
ent decline in silver are in fact man.
Hesitation of an appreciation in gold
resulting from the demonstration of
silver
"Page 779 of the report of the di-
rector of the mint for the year 1893 is
sufficient of itself to send back to the
debating clubs where only miners and
Populists are admitted, this idea that
silver's demonetization, technically
the crime of 1S73,' was the cause for
silver's fall in price. Here are the fig
ures of the worlds production of gold
and silver between 1870 and 1892, given
in the constant term of coming value:
Years. Gold. Silrer.
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1895-05-04

SIT will be seen that during this
period the annual product of gold
dropped from S106, $50, 900 to 800, $780,
900, and rose again to s13s, ,S61 900.
The total fuctuation was less than
$4,000, 600. Again, the gold product
was the same in 1887 that it was in
1870. By 1892 it had increased over
the product of 1870 by only thirty
three per cent.
"Silver's history in this time will
startle any one who reads it for the
first time. In 1870 the silver product
was S51 ,575, 900. In 1873 the great
change which was in store for silver
exclusively had begun in full force.
The product had risen to SS1, 800, 900,
or already sixty per cent. over that of
1870. 1t wavered little at these
higher figures, and then it's rush up
ward began, until, with a few minor
reactions, it rose in 1892 to 1896, 49,
600. or three hundred per cent. over it's
production of twenty years earlier.
''Can any one tell US how silver
could have failed to fall in the market?
"This extraordinary increase in the
silver prodnct was in the face of a
steady decline in it's value. What
amount would have been got out of the
earth if the value of silver had re-
mained at the figures quoted for it in
1870, stimulating the mining industry
to still greater exertfons, we leave to
conjecture. Silver fell because it's
great production cheapened it. There
was no help for it, short of general
and permanent strike of mine owners
all over the world"

FREEDOM rs. ANARCHY.

Peace reigns supreme at Nicaragua
and the British will withdraw from
Corinto with full assurance that the
indemnity will be forthcoming. If
this affair ends without a revolution,
and the present executive retains his
position at the head of the govern
ment, perhaps it will be the only period
during the past quarter of a century
that the Spanish blood became excited
in that country that it did not end in
civil war. According to the strict
terms of international law, Walkers
filibustering expedition was violation
of the rights of Nicaragua; but. if he
had succeeded in supplanting the ma
tive and mixed population with immi-
grants from the United States it would
have been blessing to all concerned.
Anglo-Saxon grit and enterprise would
soon develop the rich resources of that
nation, and the traditions of the race
would uphold the supremacy of law
and guarantee protection to life and
property. There is no law, human
or divine, that makes one man
or women, or any one family, herdi-
tary rulers of their neighbors, and yet
in many communities universal free
dom leads to anarchy. Self govern
ment is stage of development that all
people have not attained, and until
that is reached it should not be at
tempted. Perhaps in many of the
South American states the process of
political growth has not been in opera
tion long enough for free institutions
to be successful, and Nicaragua can be
classed as one of these. The history of
Central America for long while has
been darkened almost continually by
revolutions, and the ruling govern
ments have been changed at the ca
price of wild, infuriated'mobs, who had
little more respect for law or human
rights than savages. Freedom with an
enlightened people, is God-given and
God-guaranteed privilege; but with a
barbarous or half-civilized race it is a
license for murder, arson and other
crimes that result from unbridled or
excessive lust or passion.

KANSAS CYCLONE.
The Country Devastated and Six Per
sons Killed.


The Country Devastated and Six Per-
sons Killed.
HALsTEAD, Kan. May 1.-At 4:3O
this afternoon fearful cyclone devas-
tated strip of country several hum
dred yards wide and at least 16 miles
in length. killing six persons outright
and seriously injuring several others,
while many have received slight in
juries. 1t first struck the house of
Mrs. Fry, widow, who lives nine
miles southwest of Halstead, complete
ly destroying it, but only slightly in
juring Mrs. Fry. 1t next picked up
the house of John Sultz and scattered
it in every direction. The fine two
story house of Joseph Weir, which
had only recently been built at a cost
of over $4,000, was entirely swept away,
killing Mrs. Weir, Grace Weir, aged
IL; Herman Weir, aged 5, and weeks
old baby. Mr.. Weir had left the
house, and, when the cyclone struck,
to tree. He received injuries which
may prove fatal. Joseph Weir, jr.,
and his sister Maud were the only
ones in the family who took to the cell
lar, escaping with slight bruises.
The next house In the path of the
storm was that of James Armstrong,
which was completely wiped from the
earth. Mr.. Armstrong was killed,
Mrs. Armstrong probably fatally in
jured, and grandma" Chaping, who
was there sick in bed, killed. About
100 yards from this house the large
two-story residence of B. E. Frizzel
was picked up as was also two-story
house of J. r. Frizzel across the road,
and both, together with all the out
buildings. were completely swept
away. The families of both the Frizz-
els escaped injury, except Mrs. ]. r.
Frizzel, who is considerably bruised
about the head.
The next place visited was the home
of Captain William White, which was
only partially destroyed. Across the
road from Whites the house of Cyrus
Hillston was carried away, and Mrs.
Hillston received injuries. but she is
not considered seriously hurt.
