THE fourth OF July will be generally
observed in Oregon this year. The peo-
pie will come together in nearly all the
important towns in the state to celebrate.
There is committee of seven, appointed
by the governor, at work in the state
devising ways for raising funds for a
patriotic purpose, namely. the present
ing of suitable testimonial to the U. S.
battle ship, "Oregon." The various ora
tors who will address the crowds upon
the fourth should comment upon this
matter and acquaint the people with the
motives that are prompting this effort.
It is the intention of the committee to
raise the necessary funds by popular sub
scription, and the fourth of July would
be the most appropriate time for the
beginning. The people should be given
an opportunity on that day to contribute
to the fund, and committees should be
appointed to take up the collections to
be sent to Hon Henry Failing, Portland,
treasurer of the committee. Such col
lection for a purely patriotic purpose
surely would not be out of harmony with
the spirit of the day.

THE CRIME OF 1895.
CORVALLIS. Iune II, IS.


ED. GAzErTH:-The. act of congress
demonetizing silver is known as "The
Crime of 1873" That it was leading
factor in bringing on the hard times is
believed by majority of the people of
all parties. That its direful effects on
the business and prosperity of the coun-
try was not sooner felt is owing to the
fact of the act of congress of 1873 requir-
ing the secretary of the treasury to pur-
chase and coin at least two millions of
dollars in silver each month and making
it full legal tender, which act was in
full force until 1890, when it was repealed
by what is known as the Sherman law,
which provided for purchasing and
boarding four millions a month, upon
which silver certificates were issued, and
which led to the crime of 1895.
Under the act of 1878 two hundred and
eighty eight millions of legal tender
silver dollars were coined and added to
the circulation Under the act of 1890
one hundred and forty-four millions were
boarded and silver certificates issued
thereon, which, under the rules of both
republican and democratic administra-
tons, were redeemable in gold. This
enabled the rich men who control large
amounts of money, to combine and make
a run on the reserve fund of gold in the
U. S. treasury until Mr.. Cleveland and
his secretary of the treasury deemed it
necessary to sell government bonds to
replenish this fund. Instead of appeal
ing to the people as did France when she
had to raise the money to pay Germany
the indemnity war demand, Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Carlile go into a combina-
ton with Belmont and Morgan and make
a contract to sell them government
bonds by which those money sharks are
enabled to make the neat little sum of
nine millions of dollars by turn of the
wrist This is the crime Of 1895, upon
which the people will pass Judgment in
due time.
It is claimed by the friends of the
administration that Belmont and Morgan
were the agents of Rothschilds and it
was necessary to give them this little
bonus of nine millions to stop their raids
on the treasury. If this be true, then
our entire financial system should be
reconstructed, so that this country will
not be at the mercy of the London Jews
and their satellites in America. Mr..
Carlile is marve1ously proper man to
advocate single gold standard and scout
the idea of bi-metallic currency as he
did in his Louisville speech. The issues
of 'o6 are being formed now. Both par
ties have strenuously declared In favor of
bi-metallic currency, and the only
question was how was the best way to Sc
cure it; but we are told now by Cleve-
land, Carlisle & Co. that we must follow
the English idea and have single gold
standard. Politics make strange bed
fellows, but the strangest of all is to see
Grover Cleveland in the arms of the Or
egonian. JUNIUS.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound OF imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be takeu out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give Ono Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

THE TRUTH OF THE NATTER.

THE Oregon City Enterprise imputss
the failure of the Coast Carriage and
Wagon Company to its location at Cor
Wallis, and adds that had it been located
at Oregon City it would have proved a
financial success on account of transpor-
tation facilities principally. and also
because of cheap power. But that paper
is very wide of the mark in its statement
that the company had ample capital It
was lack of capital solely that caused its
present failure.
Transportation facilities are better at
Corvallis than at any other town in Ore
gon. The principal field for the sale of
! the products of the factory is California,
and freight rates via Yaquina are very
much lower than by the Southern Pacific
or down the Columbia The managers
have no fault to find with the location.
They certainly know whereof they speak
when they say it was a failure of expect
ed capital to materialize that caused the
embarrassment that Is expected to be but
temporary. Oregon City is a very good
manufacturing point for some purposes.
but cheap power would not take the place
of capital even at that point, and in the
matter of transportation, the chief item
to be considered, Corvallis has the advan-
tage of the falls town. Convenient sites
at Oregon City are scarce and command
very high price. The difference in this
item alone would more than pay the diff
ference in the cost of power at the two
places.
The Oregon City paper betrays repre-
hensible se1fshnsss in its covert insinua-
ton that its town is the only place in the
state where manufacturing enterprises
can thrive. Such statements not only
injure the various towns of Oregon but
the whole state, including Oregon City.
The statement of the carriage factory
receiver demonstrates that the business
has been paying one, and had not the
owners put all their money into the pur,
chase and improvement of the plant,
leaving them no working fund, they
would not have been compelled to under
go this temporary shutdown.

WE find the following gem going the
rounds of the press without credit: ere
member this, young man, be careful
what you say about woman's character.
Think how many years she has been
building it, of the tolls and privations
endured, of wounds received, and let no
suspicion follow her actions. The purity
of the women Is the salvation of the race,
the hope Of future greatness and the
redemption of man. Wipe out her
purity and man sinks beneath the wave
of despair, without star to guide his
life into the channel of safety. Think,
then, before you speak, and remember
that any hog can root up the fairest
flower that ever grew; so the vilest man
can ruin the purest woman's character. !"

Like a Seive.


The chief function Of the kidneys1is is to,
separate from the blood, in its passage
through them, Of certain impurities and
watery particles which make their final
exit through the bladder. The retention of
these, in consequence of inactivity of the
kidneys, is productive of Bright's disease,
dropsy, diabetes, albuminuria and other mall
aides with fatal tendencies. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, highly sanctioned diuret-
ic and blood depurnnt, impels the kidneys
when inactive to renew their sitting function,
and strain from the vital current impurities
which infest it and threaten their own exist
ence as organs of the body. Catarrh Of the
bladder, gravel and retention of the urine
are also maladies arrested or averted by this
benign promoter and restorative of organic
action. Malaria, rheumatism, constipation,
biliiousness and dyspepsia also yield to the
Bitters. which is also speedily beneficial to
the weak and nervous.

WOMAN SAVES A TRAIN.

Her Pluck Prevents a Wreck and
Robbery.
DULUTH, March 9..--Tbere is brave
little woman at Kimberly, on the
Duluth Staples division of the
Northern Pacific, who saved from
wreck and robbery the express which
arrived in Duluth at 7:25 this morn
ing. Her name is Mrs. Richards
and she acts as station agent at Kim.
berly, which is a small station seven
ty-five miles west OF Duluth.
About IL o'clock last night Mrs.
Richards was awakened by the
sound of voices close to the plat
form. There were two men aud they
we're planning to rob the east-bound
express, which passes Kimberly at
4:3O a. m. They argued some time
as TO the best plan to get what booty
there might be in the express car.
One wanted to put ties on the track
at a point where the speed would be
great, but the other wanted to throw
the train of the east end OF the long
curved bridge over Rice River, as in
that case the passenger coaches
alone would 60 into the river and
the express car would be thrown
only to the embankment, whore IL
could easily be plundered. The latter
plan was agreed upon.
just then one OF the men, not sus-
pecting that there was any body in.
side of the station, proposed that they
go inside for few hours and COM
menced to batter in the door. The
little woman, who had Just crawled
out OF her bed to sound the alarm
over the wire, picked up her revolver
md sent the four bullets il contain
ed through the door, putting the
would-be robbers and murderers to
fight. Then she seized the key, but
she was so overcome with excite
ment that IL was long time before
she could make herself understood,
and the operators along the line
were dubfounded over the peculiar
streak her telegraphy had taken.
Her husband is the night operator
at Aitkin, the nearest station, and
he reported that the village marshal
had during the night driven two
rough-looking tramps out OF town.
The episode caused decentralization
to the freight service in the vicinity
for short time, but no Instructions
were found on the track. The train
crew that arrived this morning say
the depot door gives ample evidence
OF the woufan's courage.
In the train dispatcher's Office in
this city, they incline to the belief
that somebody was trying to scare
| the woman, as she had been having
trouble over some little matter, con-
corning which she had previously
talked over the wire with her hus-
band. But the train hands don't
look at it in that way. They claim
that tough-looking men had been
hanging about the station for some
time aud that there is no doubt in
the world but that Mrs. Richards
saved the train and prevented an
awful wreck and subsequent rob-
berry. A move is now on foot to in
duce the Northern Pacific to give
her a much better position than she
at present holds.

Imitation Bullet Holes.

The willy shopkcepers Of the town who
seek to draw customers by attracting
crowds around their show windows have
invented a new-device which seems to be
very successful 1t has often been re-
marked that nothing attracts a crowd Of
idle passersby like a broken plate glass
window. If the break Is small, as though
made by pistol bullet, there Is generally
to be found shifting crowd Of from six to
score Of persons gazing intently ut it as
though an apparition was soon to make an
appearance.
A Cortlandt street shop was the first to
adopt the new Gcvice, which consists simply
in drawing on the inside Of the pane with
green soap dozen or two straight lines
diverging from q center. The illusion is
almost perfect. The shopkeeper in ques-
tion emphasized it by hanging alongside a
placard Offering 500 reward for the appre-
hension and conviction Of the miscrcant
who broke his show window.
1t was good hit, and the device has
been copied In every part Of the city. On
the Bowery, where there are at least "a
dozen windows SO marked, some Of the
clothing dealers hire men to stand outside
and gaze mt the broken window. This
never fails to form the nucleus for q con-
siderable crowd York Telegram.
