A man who claims that congress
clothed the creditor with authority
to refuse silver in case of stipula-
tion in the contract, is simply talking
nonsense. AS well might it be
claimed that the sixth command
ment made it crime to murder. AS
the sixth commandment simply de.
clared what was already an offense
against both God and man, so con-
gress, in the law of 1873, simply de-
clared what was always the law, and
what will, by the courts, always be
declared to be the law, that where
parties agree as to the kind of money
in which contract shall be paid, a
judgment shall be given accordingly.

bank which is not prepared to pay
gold or secure gold payment would
be placed In the hands of receiver,
and every depositor would then be
paid in deprecated silver. Every
debtor who had property would be
forced to pay, and crash such as
has never been known in this coun-
try, would follow. These are just
the reasons why every banker, bust
ness man, manufacturer, and ma
jority of the farmers and laborers,
are opposed to Bryan's election.

in the price of wool in Boston.
When Bryan was first nominated and
there was some anticipation of his
election, there was very rapid ad-

was in the wrong direction.

"The bankers caused the financial
crash in 1898; now they are seeking
to cause another" So say the great
prophets of Popocracy. The banks
were the first and greatest sufferers
in 1898, as they are in every financial
disturbance. Then come the manu-
facturers, merchants, laborers and
producers in their turn. If Bryan
could be elected every depositor who
has funds in the bank, including our
Populist friends, who have not al
ready drawn out their funds, would

More About Roads.

EprroR rELLER-- Your paper has
been II cosisient advocate Of good coun-
ty roads upon aud to and from the
new farming districts on the reserva-
tion. II YOU will permit, will try to
encourage the county commissioners
to move In this matter. The means of
access aud for transportation are all
important to all communities, united
by commercial ties. An effort has been
made to divert both travel aud trade
away from Lewiston to all the aspiring
rivals on the borders Of these new set-
Elements. More money has l~en ex-
pended by the friends Of other towns
than by the public for road purposes,
within the past year. The natural out.
let of this country IL to aud through
Lewiston. There could he roads built
on easy grades from every scttlementin IN
the district to the head If navigation at
the junction Of the rivers. The private
roads have invariably been over un-
natural courses for the advancement Of
private ends, ana against the best in-
terests Of the country and your fair
city.
The efforts made TO establish legal
thoroughfares have, In some ii.stan.
ces, been defeated by technicaiities. II
the laws are 40 incxorAble M to defeat
justice they should be of no effect.
The breach of such n law IL hetter than
its observance. The question Of ecoIi-
omy Is not to be considered when the
benefits are so far reaching as are the
blessing Of good reads. The difference
between good roads aud bad roads can
not he measured IN dollars. The only
time for the establishments! Of good
roads for long distance, through any
country, Is while that country Is IN the
stage OF development. When fields,
orchards aud homes have uren pernla-
nently located, public condemnation
is not practicable. All the good road
ways are now free offerings without
recurrence TO the constitutional pre-
rogative of eminent domain. l.cono-
my demands prompt action, aud i'm.
mediate acceptance OF the road rights
ofway that are free offerings
| The construction of roads will not bc
Il burden upon the county. The f,r-
NAL locations are the crying needs OF
the hour. The settlers are ready tu do
nate above the lawful tax IA large
amount Of labor which should be ac
cepted ty the county AS u matter of
economy. The business men of Lew
iston are interested parties IN this mat.
ter. Their loss is not immediate and
1t may not be 80 vital rs the damage
to the struggling settler, but it is far
reaching In its effects. Commercial
ties are being established as davs of
delay go by, that may not he readily
broken. Lewiston Is now losing trade
. the profits of which would have built
before this date, the principal roads
required to bring it to your doors.

Home Manufacturing.

The fre-proof buildings that will
be erected in The Dalles during the
summer will call for large quantity
of brick. Recognizing this, and be-
lieving that home demand should be
supplied with home produces as far
as possible, City Marshall Blakeney
has purchased the Max Blank brick
yard, and will at once begin making
preparations for burning all the brick
that will be required for the buildings
here. Mr.. Blakeney's enterprise in
this direction is certainly commend
able. His plant will give employment
to from twelve to fifteen men all sum-
mer, and besides will keep large sums
of money at home that would otherwise
go abroad. Mr.. Blakeley has sent for
Il 3. Reed, an experienced brick
maker, to take charge of the plant,
and as soon as he arrives active opera
tions will begin on the yard. If others
would display like enterprise, and
establish plants for manufacturing
such articles as can be successfully
made here, The Dalles would soon be-
come the manufacturing center of the
Northwest.

Senator Mitchell also enclosed the

Washington, D. c., March I, 1896.
Hon. Danp s. Lamont, Sec. of VAR.
Sir: I understand the canal and
locks at the cascades of the Columbia
river are about completed and in con-
dition to be opened to the passing of
boats at an early date. 1 understand,
furthermore, however, that in order to
protect that great work against inflow
from the river at certain points, in
case it is opened to traffic, a certain
amount of work in the way of revet-
ment or filling in. should be done at
once.
The interests of the people of that
country imperatively demand that this
canal should be opened to traffic at the
earliest possible moment, and, al
though there is unused certain unap-
propriated money, as / understand,
am informed it can not be used for the
purpose have indicated. I should be
pleased to have at the earliest possible
moment, statement from the depart
ment as to the exact condition and the
necessity for some immediate action
by congress to the end, that the OPEN
Ing of the canal and locks may not be
delayed, and if such necessity and
emergency exists, then the precise
character of the legislation desired,
and the amount of money necessary to
be appropriated, SO as to justify the
opening of the canal and locks at an
early date to the traffic of the country.
Very Respectfully,
JOHN II. MITCHELL.

Commanding G.: Regt::''
St. Patrick,s Day Entertainment.

The assembly rooms of St. Mary's
Academy were filled to their utmost
capacity Tuesday night to witness the
entertainment given by the students of
the academy. The stage that had been
arranged was beautifully decorated
with potted plants and ivy, and inter-
woven among the decorations were the
notices s'Erein's Champion, Saint All
Hail" and "Caed Nellie Faithe." The
stage presented pretty appearance,
though no prettier than were the bevy
of students who composed the chorus
rendering the opening piece, "a Gar
land Gay We Twine." The pro-
gramme, which has been published in
these columns, was rendered through
out in a manner that bespeaks much
for the instruction received at the
Academy. The students rendered
their various parts so perfectly as to
indicate that they have recei we'd the
most careful instructions, and dis
played a thoroughness that is rarely
observed. The drama Through
Clouds to Sunlight" sad story of a
child's devotion to an elder sister, was
well rendered, and TIE happy ending,
in which the the one wronged is proven
innocent, and the erring one is for
given, was well received, but the final
number. a tableau representing
Christ Blessing Little Children" was
the most pleasing event of the evening.
No prettier subject could have been
conceived, or no more fitting termina-
tion of so pleasant an entertainment
could have been chosen.
