The trail Of the serpent ct plutocmcy mar
be plainIy seen in the South Carolina con
stitutional convention. That body has not
only COPIED IN substance Mississipprs educa-
tional qualifications for suffrage and provid
ed the frame work for a chapter Of infamous
election laws but it has also substituted a
$500 property qualification for manhood.
Referring to this unholy scheme Of plutoe-
rucy to substitute the dollar for the citizen
Tom Watson says:
There was no $500 Limit to enlistment in
Me Revolutionary war; nor in the Me1ican
war; nor in the aivil war.

not have been an immortal name--uor wouls

would have remained a cranky professor,

poker-player.
"In the blind hatred Of the negro. why
should Southern statesmen forge the chains
for their own kith and kin
"It than wrong, and Il can no more stand
than any other house built on sand.
"The $500 limit would have disfranehised

The Advance OF Silver.

For the past week silver has taken
an unusual advance from its position
for the past year. Its quotations
have ranged from G3 to G3! for the
past three days. Mining men are of
the opinion that inside of 80 days
silver will be up to 50 cents. The
cause of this prediction may be at
tributable to the fact that compro-
mise is imminent, whereby Germany
will join with the Monetary Confer
ence for silver coinage, and that the
apan-China proposition will be
effected. In case of this movement,
we may feel confident that our silver
interests may advance at once.
Montana, Utah, Idaho and Colora
do will be the states in the Union
that will receive direct aid by this
change. Montana and Colorado, es-
pecially, are the two states whose
silver mines are to be benefited -

day, after having attended confer

pistol at him. The bullet sped

no more than to infIict a wound in

sending this dispatch it is impossible
to learn whether or not the wound is
serious. The attempt to assassinate
the representative of the emperor of

cltement and on every side there
were expressions of deep regret.

WILL NOT OBEY.
Attitude Of Manitoba as to the Par
Ochial Schools,

A special to the Minneapolis Trib-
une from Winnipeg, Man, says:
The remedial order of the governor
general in council, calling upon the
government of Manitoba to restore
to the Roman Catholics their par
ochal, or separate schools, has reach
ed the city. 1t was addressed to the
lieutenant governor and by him was
transmitted to the legislature, which
was sitting in readiness to receive it.
The Legislature was crowded with an
intensely earnest gathering when the
important document was delivered.
1t was voluminous and reviewed all
the evidence taken before the privy
council of England, which body de-
clared that the Catholics Of Manitoba
had grievance and that the govern
or general in council had power and
authority to grant redress by rem
edial order. The tenor and langu-
age of the order leaves no opening
for compromise. 1t is command to
Manitoba to submit and plainly says
that if the Legislature does not obey,
the governor general, or, more acur-
ately speaking, the dominion govern
ment, will enforce its authority. No
definite action has been taken. After
the order had been read it was laid
on the table for future consideration.
That the order will be rejected may
be taken for certain.
Premier Greenway, being inter
viewed said: "We earnestly desire
to act within the constitution. but let
all people know that this trouble is
not of our own making. We claim
the right to make our own laws and
this right we will not give up with
out struggle. The governor gen
erals order will be rejected in its
entirety. A long step will then have
been made in the perilous journey
upon which the government of Otto
wa has set out. The dominion par
lament will then be armed with
jurisdiction to impose upon Manitoba
Inv to which an overwhelming
majority of its people are opposed.
1t will be wise for parliament, as Mr..
Gladstone said, to think twice be
fore coercing loyal and law abiding
community. Few in number though
they may be, they will never submit
to this unjust coercion. This is a
struggle for our rights. We are a
free people; we will not be made
slaves. We will not have the laws
) which we have passed, deliberately
and with full knowledge of our own
conditions destroyed by body to
whom these conditions are unknown,
i acting without inquiry and without
adequate consideration

Gold Stock of the World.

Opponents of free silver are never
tired of asserting that the world is
in danger of being overrun with sill
yer and that its abundance and not
it's demonetization is the cause of its
depreciation. The answer to this
argument is found in the last report
of Director of the mint, r. K. Pres
ton, who gives the total gold stock
of the world as s3,90l 100000, and
of silver as 81, 93l, 100000.

them to build up gold arstocracy.
"Neither of the two old parties has
succeeded for the last fourteen years
upon its own merits, but its success
has depended upon the shortcomings
of its adversary. Each party has re-
lied for success upon the wickedness
of the other, and the outs have al
ways had an unlimited capital in the
misconduct of the party in power.
The reason is you have controlled
both parties and made them instru-
ments of fraud and oppression until
the name of both has become a
stencil in the nostri!s of honest men.
CHANGE THE NAME.
"lou are right. Change the name.
Call it "gold party" and come for
ward to do battle. You have dis
graced those honored names. But
II you think that the name of gold
monopoly can be made popular with
the masses, your estimation of the
manhood of the American people is
an insult to all who have fled from
the oppression of the old world to
plant the tree of liberty in the new.
"Your condemnation Of the stealthy
methods employed by the Shermans
and the Hoopers, which deceived
Grant, Thurman, Blaine, Holman,
Bogy, Conkling, Allison, Voorhees,,
Beck, Hereford, Howe, Cannon,
Burchard and Garfield, in 1878, and
secured the demonetization of silver,
is severe. Your repudiation of the
Janus-faced platforms, goodLord
good-devil leadership, and shifting,
lodging, trimming and time-serving
presidential candidates, is timely.
Your description of old party plat
forms, old party leaders anl old par
ty presidential candidates, is accur-
ate. Your advise to let silver men
choose who of their number to fol-
low. DO not fail to follow your
own advice, to let the single gold
standard men choose of their number,
and then let the American people de-
eide. Relegate to the rear the
Shermans, the Reeds, the Harrisons
and the McKinleys of the republican
party, and their counterparts easily
found in the democratic party. They
may have been useful to you in the
past, but none of them come up to
your high standard of the leader of
the gold monopoly.
"President Cleveland is your man.
No other man in either Of the old
parties answers your description as
the commander in chief of your
ealthabsorbing armies. lie is your
friend, and the friend of every mem
Der of the gold combination on both
sides of the Atlantic. His name is
the household word in the privy
councils of monarchs, and in the
counting houses of money changers.
The people have felt his heavy hand,
and his name is dreaded in every
humble household. His power for
evil is we'll known. He is more to
be dreaded and feared by the toiling
masses than any other of your num-
ber. In campaign of intimidation
and oppression no known leader can
be compared to him. He would not
falter until the power of aristocracy,
and the resources of money were ex-
hausted."

boy or girl that sends in the best essay on
"What Should Oregon Give the Oregon?"

However, it will publish the best ones. Get
them in as early as possible and do your best.
Probably almost all of you have never seen
a battleship, or even cruiser. Some have
never seen the ocean, near as it is. But the
eyes of Imagination are sometimes as good

in Cory Ills yesterday on his return from
Yaquina, where he had been inspecting the
government works. During the afternoon
he met a great many citizens OF Corvallis
and Benton county, with whom he discussed
various matters in which both had mutual
interests. An impromptu and informal re-
ception was rendered Mr.. Hermann at the
Occidental hotel in the evening.
A large crowd gathered in front OF the
| hotel and were entertained with band music
until Mr.. Hermann could leave his many
visitors, and in response to calls for speech
he talked few-minhtes.
| Mr.. w. E. Yates introduced the speaker.
who confined himself principally to matters
that were Of particular interest to his audi

from the national government in the ini-
Iprovement of the Yaquina harbor and the
! Willamette river.
Mr.. Hermann waxcd eloquent in discrib.
ing the benefits to the nation in the improv.
ment of her water ways, and some splendid
comparisons between the shipping OF the
United States and the old world. Mr. Her
