Il has been decided to hold union
Christmas tree at the NJ. E. church

It was an evil thing to hold Christmas
tree in the house OF God. Mr.. editor we
would like to have your opinion on this
subject.
Jour opinion is that the church is the
proper place for Christmas tree service
properly managed A service in honor
OF the birth of Christ is certainly proper
in the church; but it should not be made
circus. People should not be narrow
on that subject.-Edl

NOTHING II IT.-The DEMOCRAT yester-
day published an item from the Eugene
Guard about close call to a collision
at that city between the overland and
flyer. There was nothing in it at all.
The right signal was out all right. The
train flew by intending to back upon the
switch, and it was thought by the re-
porter it was only stopped by the frantic
efforts of the agent. OF course if it had
gone on there would have been a collis-
ion. 1t is said, though, that under the
double system in vogue collision is iH.-
| possible.

rumors to the effect that Mr. Hammond's
present visit to New York was Tor the
purpose of raising money for the con-
struction of the line. This" he said.
II happen personally to be in position
TO refute. because know that before
Mr.. Hammond entered into the contract
he had all the money. and more than he
needed. He has any quantity OF funds
at his disposal.
0fall stuff the worst is that Mr.. HAM
mond is simply tool of the Southern
Pacific, and that road really owns the o.
Q. & E. There is undoubtedly nothing

Didn't Say Much.

A Corvallis Gazette man tried TO in-
.erview L. L. Bonner, but about all he
learned was that he had just run up TO
see Manager Stone while in Portland /;
but he did present this much:
"We have been compelled to build
practically new road and until the
present work is finished we will not take
steps towards building branch lines. !"
Asked in regard to the business of the
road Mr.. Bonner said: "We have been
doing our share. Until the present rate
war was inaugurated between the o. r.
& n. and Southern Pacific companies
the traffic of the o. Q. & E. was fully up
to our expectations, but we are begin
ming to feel its bad effects and should it
continue our business may suffer con-
siderably. This rate war, Mr.. Bonner
believed, was proving losing game not
only to the transportation lines involved
but also to the state, as it was taking
thousands of people to California and
they were speneing thousands of dollars
abroad" Which doesn't look much as
if the S. p. was in it ut all.

A DISMAL FAILURE.

Blackburu's Owenton speech, which
| purports to he an answer to Secretary
I Carlisle's great financial efforts at Gov
ington and Memphis, was nothing short
Of a downright collapse Five of the
Secretary's most prominent points were
utterly ignored and let 90 without the
slightest attempt at refutation. The
friends Of free silver should find sufficient
in that negligence OF their orator TO
make them truly ashamed of him and
their knees to smite together lest there
he no answer to those five vital PROPOSE
tions. But when they think Of the out.
/ rageOusly false statement that he made
in reply to Carlisle's assertion that free
silver would drive the gold out of the
country, they should draw on a solid
iron veil an inch thick, 20 conceal their
chagrin. With much pride and wind
Mr.. Blackburn declared that this country
had Tree coinage Of silver from 1873 to
1890, a space Of twelve years, and that
gold was not driven out of the country
or out Of circulation. Mr.. Blackburn
knew when he made that statement that
there was not the slightest foundation
for it. He knew full well that the act of
Congress required the Secretary of the
United States Treasury to purchase at
the market value, and have coined, not
less than two nor more than four million
dollars per month, and that the coinage
Of those twelve years was executed I'M
der that law. Mr.. Blackburn therefore
knew that the coinage OF lS7S-lS9O was
not free, but on the contrary was purely
and simply by the Government, for the
Government-nOtf for the owners of bull
ion-and limited at that We charge
that Mr.. Blackburn was thoroughly cog
infant Of the erTOneOusness of his state
ment, because in that same speech and a
few minutes prior to the statement in
question, he correctly defined free silver
as being ''the right of the owners of sill
yer bullion to take that bullion to the
Government minis aid have it coined
into money, free Of charge to them. /"
Does Mr.. Blackburn think that base de-
ception will help the free silver cause?
If the free silver wing has an orator
who Possesses any real arguments in IA
vor Of their scheme, they should produce
him. Blackburn, Bryan and others are
content with trying to show a conflict be-
tween the opinions of Mr.. Carlisle, as
held fifteen or twenty years ago, with
those he now holds, as if that had any,
thing to do with the problem.

LIKE THE OLD MANS DOG.

An odd man was a passenger on a
fast train. As he whirled by a house, be
saw a dog with more ferocity than judg-
ment come plunging growing and show
ing his hideOus teeth a. If he meant there
and then 10 tear the entire train into
fragments I'm few seconds the train
dashed out Of sight and the dog, it is
hoped, discovered that he might as we'll
have kept his mouth shut and saved the
struggle The old man broke forth in a
loud laugh, and. when asked what so
tickled him, said 81 wuz jest a wonderin'
what that air dog would a done with this
air train ef ne had er cotch it,"
Precisely 50 with the Democratic party
OF Kentucky. The next Congress will
be Republican and for sound money. II
II should not be, the President would
veto any free silver bill It could pass.
No power but Congress can make free
silver What would Democratic Sena-
tor from Kentucky have to DO with the
proceedings Of a Republican Congress
More than this, what has the race for
Governor in Kentucky to do with the
aforesaid Republican Congress
If the Democrats Of Kentucky were 10
catch free silver, what would they do
with it? Then again if they should lose
the State to the Republicans they would
merely confirm what Grant said -"You
can alwas depend upon the Democrats to
do some damned fool thing at the right
time"

WHY NOT HAVE FREE GRAIN MILLS ?

Madison county, sympathizing with all
other counties and countries throughout
the land, Is seriously considering the
subject Of free coinage of silver. 1t is
likewise rending its garments over the
problem of free pixies. If free pixies are
productive Of great good to great
number Of people. would not
free grain mills be of greater good to a
greater number
Every family is inteTested, numbers con-
sidered. a. much as every other family
IN -four and meal. This is not true as to
travel on pixies Two families may be OF
equal size and wealth, vet one may travel
ten times as much as the other. But
two families of equal size and wealth
viii require near about equal quantities
OF meal and flour, careless waste not con-
sidened. Why should the county not
buy al the mills, pay their running ex-
penses aud grind for everybody free Of
toll Then, if that works successfully,
buy the blacksmith shops, the ice facto-
mes, steam laundries, hotels and all SINH
larinstitutions ? Isn't this tree country 3?
Then why not have all public concerns
free? Wouldn't free newspapers be a
blessing Then there are those who
would hail free drinks with as much de-
light as a thirsty OK rushes to babbling
brook.

CONVERTED HIN.

Il read your article, last week, on
Free Turnpikes," said a prosperous
farmer Of this county, "and it turned me
in favor of the scheme"
THAT was not the intention OF the
effort, " We remarked.
That's all true" he replied, "but, you
see, take a selfish view of the CASE
am not looking to the greatest good fol
the greatest number Of people, but con-
sidering my own profit.
"How is that?" we asked.
"Why," said he, Il live on a dirt road
l don't feel able TO give several hundred
dollars to help build pike, but DO fee
able TO pay, along with everybody else in
the county, to help build me pike"
But" We suggested, ''if everybody j:
compelled to pay taxes to build every.
body in the county a pike, the result
will be about the same as if YOU and
your neighbOrs built your own roads
yourselves"
THAT depends upon how much take:
We pay. If we are small taxpayers
and as a rule we are in our neighboT.
hood-our total road taxes would moi
equal the total of contributions necessary
for us to make in building the road our
selves. You see" he continued, Large
numbers Of wealthy people, and some
not so wealthy, already have pixies and
would not want any more, so while they
would have to help build us a road, we
would not have to help them. The
same may be said of the town and vii.
lage people"
is your selfish view the proper one tC
take >" we asked.
"Well, no, hardly, but then, you know
We are inclined, some times, to consider
ourselves out for the stuff and not take
the broader and more correct view of the
subject"
ado you think a free-pike proposition
would carry in the county, if submitted
to the people at the polls ?" We enquired
4 believe it would, right now" he
said; "but what would be the result, next
November, after discussion, is another
thing"
"What effect would free roads have p
We asked.
"Oh, the country stores would be in.
iured and the town stores benefited. In
the long run the merchants in Rich.
mond would be gamers" he confidently
asserted.
Then, according to yOur view Of the
matter" we queried,- ''only the people
who live on pixies already built would
be sufferers, along with the county mer-
chants"
Some Of them" he some
Of them-the heavy taxpayers, and pos
siblv the light ones two"
do you think ten cents on the one
hundred dollars would be a sufficient
tax to maintain a free system OF pixies ?''
we finally wished to know Of this frank
and intelligent farmer.
NO; about % to p cents. Should the
miles be doubled, and the tax fixed at
forty cents on the hundred dollars. /
don't think it would be oppressive"

SOME PROMINENT WOMEN.

THE WIDOWS OF DISTINGUISHED MEN WHO
RESIDE IL WASHINGTON.
The widow Of James G. Blaine has been
figure in society at the Nations Capital
OF special interest during the past season.
Although Mrs. Blaine is still in mourn.
ing for her distinguished husband, and
in consequence does not 90 out in general
society, yet she is found occasionally al
the homes of close friends, and has made
her appearance on several occasions at
small companies. She attended the re.
cent wedding of Miss Letter, as the
relations between the families have been
during recent years, quite intimate
When the Letters came to this city to
reside they leased the Blaine house on
DUPONT circle, which is near the house
they have built and now occupy. AT
that time Mr.. Blaine was in private life
and when he accepted office again he pdr-
chased the residence on Lafayette square
which he fitted up for his own use, and
where his last days were spent.
AS is well known, that house has been
torn down and theater building is being
erected on the site. During the past win
ter Mrs Blaine has been living in the
big house on DUPONT circle, the only
members Of the family with her being
her son, James G. Blaine, Jr., aud Miss
Abigail Dodge (Gail Hamilton). A
daughter, Mrs. TruxtOn Beale, however,
has her home in this city, while the other
daughter, Mrs. Damrosch, lives in New
York. II is understood that Mrs. Blaine
finds the house too large, and does not. in
tend TO occupy it for another season.
She proposes to lease it furnished, and it
is SAID that Mr. Westinghouse, the inyen-
