SUGAR BOUNTY.

III ,mptroller Bowler Of the Treasury De.
N partment Takes Up the Test Case.
q WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-Comptroller
Bowler of the treasury department.
s1,ard arguments to-day upon the
)hestion of the constitutionality of the
sugar bounty appropriations made by
congress at its last session for the
crops of 1898 and 1894, the claim of
the Oxford Beet Sugar company of
Nebraslka, the first claim settled bv
che auditor since the passage of the
Wilson bill by which the old sugar
bounties of the Mckinley act were re-
pealed, being made the test.
Ex-senator Henderson of Nebraska
made the first argument in the case.
As going to show the hardships which
the repeal Of the bounty had worked,
he said that the Nebraska farmers had
this year planted 5000 acres of beets,
or 5000 acres more than ever before
under contracts previously made with
the manufacturers. He characterized
the repeal of the bounty law as ''an
unrighteous, unjust and most unlaw-
full exercise of congressional preroga-
tive and referred to it as a ''bunco"
process.

FOR SILVER AT Is TO l
so Declare Missouri Democrats In State
Convention.

SO Declare Missouri Democrats In State
Convention.
PERTLE SPRINGS, Mo-, Aug. o.-The
Missouri Democracy has declared with
out equivocation for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1. The strongest resolutions
looking to that end were passed by the
state convention amid q storm of
cheers, and practically without dis
senting voice. Further yet, the con-
vention, by an overwhelming major
ity, voted to reorganize the state COM
mittee, and nineteen new members
have been added to it, all considered
to be heart and soul for the
white metal. The fifteen old
members whom, whether right
ly or wrongly the silver men
had considered committed to the sound
money doctrine, l3 to 2, now finds
itself purely an ornamental appen-
dage to soaring majority. There
are rumors that possibly thirteen Of
the old committee will decline to
serve longer, but it is scarcely likely
that they will resign, as that action
would merely fix the silver men still
more firmly in the saddle. In spite Of
these revolutionary proceedings the
work of the convention has been char
acterized by most remarkable har-
mony. If the convention faithfully
represents the Democratic party Of
the state, then beyond question IS per
cent of the party are out and out silver
men.
The convention began it's business
with 'sSilver Dick" Bland at the helm.
The organization was perfected with
out friction and silver resolutions were
drawn and adopted and the reorgani-
zation of the state central committee
was decided upon by vote of 493 to
90. The plan of reorganization agreed
upon was that suggested by the con-
servatives, which called for the doub-
ling of the old committee, only four
additional committeeman elected from
the state at large by the convention
were added. This makes the new COM
mittee certainly for silver, but as if
this were not enough ! the convention
went further and so bound the rev
central organization by resolutions as
to the conventions to be held next
year, that even We're it as hostile as
possible to the white metal, it's hostil-
ity would be futile
In the evening the convention sent

HoRR-HARvEY WIND UP.

/ E u
The Financial battle Of words IL Ensisa
at Last.
| CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-The principals IN
the Horr-H Harvey debate made their
summaries yesterday, as allowed them
by the rules agreed upon. Tho sub
kstance of Roswell G. Horr's summary
was:
Mr. Harvey admits that the book 10
pure fiction. He based his whole arr
gument on the proposition that tho
silver dollar was in 1902 made the only
unit of measure of value. I have
shown conclusively that our fore
fathers attempted to establish biz
metalllsm, and provided for two units
CT value-one of gold and one Of silver
always naming gold first, and that
up to 1884 the silver standard alone
was used. That after that the gold
standard came into use, and that since
that the silver dollar has never for q
day been used as the measu re of values
in the United States. No nation has
ever succeeded in actually using two
standards at the same time.
| MIR. Harvey next based his case upon
the assumption that the law of 1873
was crime. First. he claimed that
the congress of the United States was
purchased. Secondly, he stated that
the bill passed both houses all right
and was changed by some clerk in its
enrolment. He next claimed that it
was not changed by a clerk, but that
the dirty work was done by a confer
ence committee. He then showed that
none of his other statements are true,
but that the work wasdone by passing
a substitute bill. " He introduced no
evidence in support of any one Of those
positions. Thus he stands convicted
| by his own statements of. an effort to
deceive the people.
| Mr.. Horr made specific and general
denial of ali the other statements con-
tanned in Harvey's book.
w. FL. Harvey, 'sCoin," in his sum-
mary, made the following statement:
81 believe those who read and care
fully digest the debate will conclude
that have made good all the propo-
sitions set forth in my opening state
ment. That Mr.. Horr found no errors
in Coins Financial School, except the
statement on page 9, where it stated
that the silver coined prior to 1873 was
$lO5, ZOO, 900, which we both agree
should read $143 ZOO, 600. This is not
an error affecting the merits of the
book or the principle involved, and to
have stated it at $l43,0OO,OOO would
have been to the interest of my cause
more than stating it at $iO5, 900, 900.
s.In the few words left me 4 want to
say that if the world, time out Of
mind, has had business panics and
most mems and women's lives have
been full of trouble in acquiring the
necessities and comforts of life, that
our present civilization has not re-
moved the possibility of these re-
curing panics, and that to a large
majority OF the people on this earth
their almost exclusive attention and
labors are giyen.to acquiring a living
and disconraging results, will be adj
mitted by everyone.

A RrIlliant Young Japanese.

Those who attended the Congrega-
tional church last evening and heard
Mr.'Sann I. Hirota, came away with a
Jeeing that they had listened to most
remarkable young man. 1t was treat
seldom granted to have native Japan
ese tell of his own country with the grace
and earnestness with which this young
man spoke. Although but 10 years of
age, his discourse was marked with a
Judgment and thought full worthy of a
man whose judgment was fully matured.
Both in manner and in Thought was he
charming. In SIMPLE story he told of
Japan, described it geographically and
related come of its history, spoke of it's
wonderful progress in the last twenty
five years and the bright future that
was just dawning. Mr.. H!Fota spoke of
the costumes and habits of his people
and then recited Japanese poem. Sell
dem have We heard anything prettier,
though not syllable was intelligible
hut the softness of the language, which
was strongly reminoful of the Greek,
and the feeling way in which the young
man recited, deeply impressed the audi
ence. At another point in the lecture
Mr.. Hirota sang a popular Japanese
song, which also sounded prettily.
In discussing the late war the youth
full speaker showed his patriotismi none
of the offensive sort, but of he)kind
which every American would ad dmire.

He pointed out some of the great good
that would be done civilization by the
outcome OF the war, and closed with the
hope. elnquently expressed, that Japan
would follow America and be what she
is, leader in Christian civilization.
Not one who listened last night could
think otherwise but that this young
Japenese, who has been but five years
in America, has a future before him
than which none can be brighter. He
has in him the springs of oratory, and
with the fine discerning judgment which
he showed last night, will return to his
people and be power among them.

AND THIS IS TRUE.

1t is not exceeding the bounds OF rea-
sonable modesty to claim for Crook
county part of the reputation The DAlles
has gained as a market, on account of
handling the long, clean staple grown
here.-Prineville Review.
The Dalles gladly gives to Crook
county its mete of credit, and the share
is large one. The wool from its sheep
is praised wherever known, and has
greatly helped in giving our market lts
high reputation. But Crook county and
the other wool-producing sections will
join with The Dalles in attributing the
higher prices to the factor that above all
else has been the means of obtaining
them-and that is The DaIles, Portland
& Astoria Navigation Company.

GAM insist that prices began to decline
about the time the Mckinley law went
into effect; that good times are return
ing now that the Wilson bill is in full
effect. Well, as we once before suggest
ed, the fools are not quite all dead yet.
It is hardly worth while to make re-
ply to such nonsense; but we believe
that even the Hood River Glacier knows
very we'll that when the country learned
in November, 1892, that the democratic
party was to control the government,
and it's tariff policy was likely to be
adoped, prices then, and not till then,
began to materially decline, business to
contract, and hard times to be felt.
Now the nation at large, being as
surred that before another twenty
months shall have passed the party
which believes in protection of home in
dustries and American manufacturers
will be IN charge of the government, is
again willing to use its idle capital, busi-
ness is reviving, and wool is coming up
to the highest price possible, in the face
of foreign competition. Were it not for
this foreign competition, the price would
no doubt advance almost, if not quite, to
the anti-democratic times. Wool now
sold will scarcely reach the market in
the form of clothing until after the in
auguration of republican government
in March, 1897. For this reason the
price of wool is up to the high water
mark of foreign competition; but nc
man of eense will claim for a moment
that free wool is helping the wool mar

THE STANFORD SUIT.

The demurrer to the complaint in the
case of United States VS.. Mrs. Stanford
has been sustained in the U. S. circuit
court in San Francisco. This probably
ends the case in the lower court, and un-
less the decision is reversed by the ap-
pellate courts, will end the controversy
and leave the property now held by
Stanford University intact, result
greatly to be desired by all who believe
that opportunities for higher education
tend toward bettering society and the
strengthening of the nation.
Men who invariably denounce wealth
and hate financial success, who believe
that to him who hath not should be
given what others have, will continue to
curse Mr.. Stanford. But the world gen.
orally will rejoice that Stanford's plan
to increase opportunities for thorough
and practical education is not to be
thwarted. We do not think that con-
gress ever intended that the stockholders
of the Central Pacific should become
personally responsible for the loan made
to the road; but if it did, and the stock
holders are under legal obligation to
repay the loan, it would strike disinter-
ested people as more just had the
United States sued the living stock
holders and left Stanford University az
