BOUNDARY COMMISSION.
PRESIDENT DISCUSSES THE NAT
TER WIN OLNEy md HERBERT.
Work of the Commission Difficult and Re
sponsible-Course of the President
When Their Report is Received.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-Secretary Oh
ney and Secretary Herbert Lad a long
conference with President Cleveland to-
day about the present and probable fu-
ture aspects of the Venezuelan situation.
Mr. Olney and the President. 1t is UNI
dorstood. discussed the appointment Of
the Venezuelan commission authorized by
Congress
According TO the wording Of the resolu-
ticn authorizing the commission. the
commissioners are directed TO ascertain
the true divisional boundary between
Venezuela and British Guiana. This. of
course, makes their work so much more
difficult and increases their response
mlity.
WHAT CLEVELAND WILL DO.
1t was said to-day that when the report
Of the commission IS received, the Presi-
dent will adopt one OF two courses. He
will either send the findings of the COM
mission to Congress with a request for
action or else issue a proclamation de-
claring the true boundary 10 be that as
certained by the commissioners. What
would follow this latter action can only
be surmised but it is probable that the
President would use il as the basis for
another attempt 10 secure Great Britain's
agreement to arbitration before taking
any radical step: provided. of course, that
the commissioners did not sustain the
extreme claims of the British Govern
ment to the disputed territory.
BUNCE'S SQUADRON.
Mr.. Herbert's talk with the President
related. it IS understood to the projected
visit OF Rear Admiral Bunce's squadron
10 the vicinity of the Venezuelan coast
Ii cannot be ascertained whether any
change was made In the itinerary. Adj
miral Bunce win have an interview to-
morrow with Secretary Herbert on the
subject.
PARIS. Dec a.-General Guzman
Blanco. OF Venezuela. said to-day that IL
would be easy to prove that England
was wrong in her dispute with Nene-
zuela.
When Sir Robert Schomburgk marked
out his boundary line, he said, venezuela
protested against it. and England replied
that the line was only geographical one
and afterward removed the boundary
posts. which had been set upon Schoih-
burgks line.

Birth Places of Calhoun and Lincoln.

To the Editor OF The Times:
Sir.-In trying TO determine TO which
! States belong the honor of having given
birth to some Of the most prominent ana
distinguished men in American history.
] am at a loss, as to how to reconcile
some conflicting statements / have seen
and heard with reference 10 two names
inseparably linked with the history Of
the United States. Those names are
Calhoun and Lincoln. in the order of
their chronology.
1t is stated of CAlhouns father. that he
entered and owned trac OF land in this
(WytLO county about the time or just
before this part of oil Augusta county
became Wythe; and. that when Cahoun's
father sold out here and removed 10 South
Carolina. John g., was born I'm Grayson
county, Va. while the family was en-
route TO their destination in South Caro-
Ina.
As to Mr. Lincoln. it is stated i'm
Fitzhugh Lees admirable book on Gene
raj Lee. on the fifteenth and sixteenth
lines from the top of page 90. that both
Mr.. jefferson Davis and Mr.. Abraham
Lincoln were born in Kentucky.
N1w, no invidious distinctions whatever
are sought to be made, as the result OF
this inquiry. nothing is expected indeed.
but a vindication OF the sacred truth OF
history, not tnat II Is or mucn moment,
at this day, whether these two most pic
turesque figures were born at the birth
places thus claimed for them, or not.
IL is thus elaine !, that Lincoln was born
In Kentucky and Calhoun's birthplace is
stated TO have been in South Carolina
Would | be In order in stating that
from what has several times been reiter-
atcd the belief exists in good many
quarters that Calhoun was really born I'm
Virginia an1 Lincoln in North Carolina
is there no way by means of our care
ful conscientious journalists in all these
four States by which the exact truth
can be arrived at with reference 10 these
questions?

From the Beloit COURIER lrepubIlcapl.

Who are the bi-metalists OF the
present day? They are not the free
silver advocates, for these men will
listen to nothing but 16 TO l ratio.
None Of the silver leaders claim that
gold can be kept in this country by
adopting their methods In the Ian
guage Of Senator Teller in his recent
speech in the senate: 1.-THE gold
from the treasury is bound to 90 to
Europe; il we could get to a silver
basis with the mints open for silver,
we would be infinitely better off than
we are on gold basis with no gold
to do our business" 10 other words,
Mr.. Teller and Mr.. Stewart, and the
other silver leaders, want to reduce
us 10 a silver basis, like China, Mexi-
co and the South American states.
True, bi-metallsts want both metals
to remain at a ratio founded in
reason which will insure their parity.
Topeka Mail.
Will our friend Capper be kind
enough to tell us just what is meant
by the word "psrity," as used by the
gold monometalIst2 OF course we
understand the meaning Of the word
as defined by the photographers, to
be equality that is of the same
value, relatively speaking. But what
we want the Mail to do is to say with
what standard of value it wants silver
to be equsled. We know, certainly,
that it means with gold dollars as a
basis. Bu this, it seems to US, is I'M
fair, from the fact that the gold dol
lar has suffered two or three changes
which brands it with icklspess. The
silver dollar, which was the dollar Of
the United States Constitution, suf-
fered no change in q hundred or
more ears, hut vt WAS murdered out
right when IT did not serve the pur-
poses Of the usurers and money
bsrons.
Senator Teller, in onr Judgment,
was right. Let us get back to the

1t is needed in fact, only to transact
about four per cent. of the bushes of
this country with all Europe, outside
Of bond interest and principal. And
we say to the snobs who want Euro
pean goods, get your gold to pay for
them the best way you can, but don't
wsylay the poor people Of Americas
and rob them Of their money to make
your gold the "honest" money. That's
a paradox, anyhow, to call gold the
only honest money, when it got that
appellation by numbering its compan-
ion, silver. Therefore, the true
bimetalists" OF the Mail are not in
favor Of the parity of silver and gold
on a just basis.
By the free coinage Of silver we
would be simply dong that which
this country ought to do, 1t would
forever destroy the speculative fea-
lures which gold entrees And re-
move speculation and gambling from
our money, it would resolve itself
back into its proper function Of me-
dun OF exchange. Silver, as coined,
would be returned to the deposiIor Of
the bullion, as money. No more pur-
chsses would be made by the govern
ment, nor pile up any more of it in
it's vaults. The depositor would pay
it out in some way, rs 1t used to dc,

Coin silver and make it legal ten

The rest of tho world could and would
trade with us. So we say that Sena-
tor Teller was just right. Let gold

portant factor, by speculation.

A LETTER FROM OREGON,
HUBBARD, OREGON,
january 10, 1896.


EDITOR HERALD;--
Thinking that few words on i'm.
migration to the Pacific Northwest,
and especially to Oregon, might be Of
interest 10 your many readers, / am
tempted to write a few lines express,
ing the conditions as see them.
Oregon, it appears, Is going to put
forth strong effort to attract a por-
ton of the immigration in this di.
rectlon that is expected from the
Eastern states, and especially from
the drouth-stricken region of '94.
Many newspapers and real estate
agents, especially the Journal of Sa'
lem, and the Oregoaian of Portland
are gong to make a wonderful push
to induce Kansans, Nebraskans and
Iowans, to come to the Willamette
valley.
This is a subject about which there
IS some difference of opinion, and
should require great care In handling.
The people of Iowa or Kansas, or Of
Phillips county, must not be deceived
any more than the people Of any other
state. The man who undertakes to
induce people to come to the Will
Jeanette valley, or any other part Of
the coast, should be very careful OF
what he is about. 1t is a serious
matter to advise people to sell their
property and come to this valley
There is but one class Of immigrants
that Oregon has any use for at pres
ent, and the people of the East should
thoroughly understand this before
they sacrifice their property and spend
their money in travelling to the Pa
cific coast.
If the people Of The East are com
ing here in the expectation OF secur'
ing work at good wages, they hat
better stay where they are for the
present. As sure as they come fol
this purpose they will be disappoint
ed. There are hundreds of people il
this country who cannot obtain day.
work at any price for their labor Th'
truth should and must be told. We
have far more laboring people here
without means than we can take care
of now. 1t is positively painful to e
out on the streets Of Salem or Port
land and see the number of poor fel
lows who are "out of a joD" anC
would be willing to work for almos
anything, but can find nothing what
ever to do. There are ten men fol
every piece of work to be done. Ore
gon has no use, at present, for this
class. She would rather they would
not come, for they would likely be-
come charge on the people.
There is a class, however, that Ore.
gon needs, and needs badly. ] mean
an enterprlslDg, industrious class Of
men with some money in their peck
cts. Unless tLey have means they
will likely fare badly. II a man car
bring money enough with him to buy
q farm, a hop yard or fruit ranch
be is safe in coming
Here the crops never fail, Prices
are low and may continue so, but be

20 in debt for a farm, with the ex-
pectation Of ever lifhnd the debt, at
the present low prices Of products, IL
he has no other resources than the
purchased farm.
If a man can bring sufficient capl-
tai to build a factory Of some kind,
a tannery, a fruit cannery, a pork.
packing establishment, creamery or
starch factory, or something of that
nature, he will stand a good chance
to make some money for himself, and
becoming a blessing to the commu-
nifty. Oregon has need for such men.
Oregon requires factories and enter
prises Of various kinds. She also
needs good farmers with some capital.
But at present she doesn't require
laborers without capital and without
means.
In all seriousness | would ask, what
could a blacksmith, a barber, a sad
dler, printer, a brick-layer or a
butcher do in Salem, or any city in
the valley, at the present timef There
ia not room for a single mechanic Of
this kind. Those who are here already
have a hard time to live. None Of
them have all the work they can do.
II others were to come in they would
80 divide the work to be done, that no
man could live at all. We have,
therefore, all the mechanics we need,
all the merchants and all the laborers.
What we need, If we need anything,
10 men with means, men Of enterprise,
industry and pluck. / hope the peo-
pie of the East will not allow them
selves to be deceived. We want i'm
migrants in Oregon, but We want
those Of the right stamp. To such
people we should give hearty well
come. The man who induces people
to come 10 Oregon at this time, with
the expectation that they can fnd
employment at remunerstive wages
is humbug and deserves the execra-
ton of all right-minded people. We
must be careful that we do not create
expectations that cannot be realized,
that we make no promises that can
not be redeemed.
When people come here to make
homes for themselves and families, l
want them to be satisfied, (many are
noD. This Is grand country, and
the Willamette valley IS the grand
est part Of it. There is no need of
overstating the case. We want i'm
migrants, but unless they eau be ln-
duced to come without resorting to
deception, they had better not come
at all.
Wishing the people Of Phillips
county a more prosperous year Of '95
than the one just past has proved to
be, I remain your friend,
T. u. MITCHELL.
