The Silver Vote in Oregon.

A careful analysis of the vote of
the last election on congressman
shows that the silver vote in Oregon
predominates over the gold by
about 2 10 1 or over. In the first
district the lines were not distinctly
drawn on silver, but it is fair to
assume that the votes cast for
Myers and for Vanderburg were
silver votes, while part of those
cast for Tongue were also silver
votes. But call the Tongue vote a
gold vote and the result shows
27, 1887 silver votes in the first dis
trict as against I9,2S2 gold votes.
In the second district the lines
were plainly drawn. The gold
men had all independent candidate
solely on that issue, and it is fair to
assume that he polled the gold vote
of his district. His vote was
$500, and the vote of the prohi-
bitionist, who had also declared
himself for gold, was 764, or a
total vote of 9, 800. All the other
candidates in the second district
we're avowed free silver men, and
theirs would be silver vote. The
total Of their vote was 32,o77 or
nearly four times as many as the
gold vote. The to,al gold vote in
the state was 28,S56 and the total
silver vote was 59,464, that is. if
all OF Tongue vote is considered
a gold vote. But it is fair to pre-
sume that large number of re-
pubilcanS who voted for Tongue
were also in favor of silver. In
tact the silver sentiment is stronger
n the first district than in the
second. The vote cast for Tongue
;alls only about 1000 below that
cast for Ellis and Northup both, in
the second district. The ratio
there stood about one and one-half
silver votes to one gold vote. The
same ratio in the first distric,
"oniI make Tongues vote con-
''>. ot ahou. 1880 silver votes
aal q, 100 gold votes. This would
Dc'ease the silver vote in tie state
"L+h-i and cut the gold vote down
~ o,5oo, and that is probably
''oHt their relative standing.

Nhen the pisciculturist will be
a''e to tell us the truth about the
Nalmon and its habits is very I'M
certain. Every time theory is
advanced, along comes some fact to
overthrow it. One of the Astoria
,anneries a few days ago received
a salmon, caught in trap in
6aker's bay, with the shaft of an
Indian spear sticking through the
mead, which it is though, had been
there for six or eight months. 1t
could not be determined from lust
where the salmon came, or where
1t had been speared, but it was
thought that the implement was
that of All Alaska Indian.

For Free Silver.


ilege of writing a few lines for
publication to the voters of Lincoln
county, who are of the same mind
of myself in regard to the financial
question, and who wish to see
president elected who is for free
silver, as we'll as a tried man and a
statesman. To all of those l would
say that now is the time to organize
free silver club in every precinct
so that we may be in fighting trim
to advance the cause of silver. All
men have some influence, and if
well organized we can win next
November, as the republicans will
surely adopt the gold standard.
So fellow citizens, arouse from
slumber and go to work to win,
for if we do not now work we shall
lave the chains OF slavery so
securely riveted pom usSthat we
will not be able to free ourselves
without revolution, and perhaps
the loss of thousands of lives, and
the country deluged in blood.
With all these things that may
arise before US it is time in my
opinion, to be up and at work. for
l can't believe that the voters of
Lincoln county want to see their
children enslaved, turned out of
doors and made friendless and beg
gars. Put your shoulders to the
silver wheel and we will win in
November. So organize at once,
is the advice of poor voter.
Yours to Serve,
]. NJ. LAWRENCE.
Eddyville, June II, 1896.
The republican tariff plank is
not nearly 50 radical a protection
declaration as we have been led to
believe it would be. 1t has not
much of the Mckinley ring about
it. Indeed, there is but little in it
that could not be endorsed by the
democrats, and was evidently made
to catch democratic goldbugs. 1t
is as follows: I'VE demand such
an equitable tariff on foreign i'm
ports which come into competition
with American products as will not
only furnish adequate revenue for
the necessary expenses OF the gov
ernment, but will protect American
labor from degradation to the wage
level of other lands. We are not
pledged to any particular schedule.
The question of rates is a practical
question to be governed by the con-
dition of time and production. The
ruling and uncompromising princi-
pie is the protection and develop
ment of American labor and in
dustry. The country wants a right
settlement, and then wants rest"
If this is not a declaration for
for a revenue tariff, trimmed UP
with republican platitudes, The
Times is not able to judge.-Jack-
sonville Times.

MRS. DAyIDSON'S STORY.
The Alleged Blackmaiier Relates Her
Career to N Police Court Judge.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. when the pre-
iiminary examination OF Mrs. Mary A.
Davidson, charged with extorting 500 from
Rev. DIR. G. o. Brown was resumed in the
police court this afternoon the court room
was crowded with women, many of them
members of the First Congregational
Church. Mrs. Davidson was first placed
on the stand in her own defense. She tes-
titled that she was born I'm Bangor. Me.
When she was eight years old she moved
to Buckport, Me. She was married there
to Franklin Pierce, who was, during the
civil war, major. When he went TO the
front she, too, went and volunteered her
services, working on the field and in the
hospitals. After the war was over she
returned with her husband to Buckport,
Me-, but not Immediately. He had resigned
from the army just prior to the close of
the war. He died in 1869. She subsequently
married Thomas Y. Davidson. She came
to California on Jan. 8. two years ago, to
show corsets at the m!dwnter fair, and
had lived here ever since. She became ac-
quainted with Matte Overman at Rev. Mr..
Aliens mission. About two months ago
she met her at DR.. Browns. She never was
"a member OF DR.. Browns church. but at
the solicitation OF DR.. Brown and the
superintendent OF the Sunday school she
took a Bible class, and he had praised her
work i'm that capacity both before and after
the date on which he paid her the 500.
He had also eulogiZed her to the other mem
bers OF the Sunday school and of the
church in her presence. She narrated her
intimacy with Matte Overman, whom she
accuses Jointly with DIR. Brown, and told
how she had secured the girls confidence.

Sir Edward Clarke's Advice to His
Fellow Englishmen

LONDON, Jan. S.-The Times this MORN
ing publishes four columns explaining the
historical origin Of the Monroe doctrine.
Sir Edward Clarke, speaking at Plymouth
last evening, in referring TO Venezuela, said:
1--WE must not be too impatient or angry
with the Monroe doctrine. II we refuse to
arbitrate, except outside the Schomburg
line. We should have war with the United
States and war in which we should not
be right. Each side must yield to some ex-
tent. We must ignore the American COM
mission. but TO say that line fixed in 1910
was unalterab.e was to adopt as unrea xon-
able an attitude as the United States adopted
in President Cleveland's message" He hor ed
he said. that the government would resume
negotiations with Venezuela direct and
that some mediator would be found whose
judgment could be accepted with honor by
both countries. In that case, he continued
we might be called upon to bear taunts both
here and i'm America. 1t would not be pleas
ant TO hear that we had yielded after Presi-
dent Cleveland's message, but he did not be-
lieve in a bastard honor which feared to do
justice because justice had been demanded
with insult or menace. 1t was our business
especially to face the fearful calamity OF
war with America. TO make up our minds
TO what was right, and TO do the right CAM
ly and quietly, regardless of taunt and con-
tent that we had helped TO preserve peace
by the only conduct worthy of a great ma
ton The close of Sir Edward Clarke's re-
marks was greeted with cheers.

TOO MANY SALOONS.
New York Excise Board Takes Steps
to Reduce the Number.

NEW YORK, Jan. THE excise board
to-day increased the fee for hotel, saloon
and storekeepers licenses about - per cent.
This was done because the board believes
there are too many saloons in the city.
Subsequently it was decided by the board
that no place the license "of which shall
be revoked after this date after. hearing
by the board shall be reicense1 except on
the closing of two existing places and the
surrender of the licenses thereof"
Mayor Strong sent his annual message
to the Board of Aldermen to-day. After
review of the city's finances the Mayor
refers to the police department and he ex-
difficult problems that faced The rcnmis-
sioners Of police was the enforcement OF
excise laws, and that for the reasons
that the people Us a rule were unfamiliar
with their exact PROVISIONS and had grown
accustomed 20 a kind OF enforcement witch
led them to believe that the laws were dit,
ferent from what their wording SHOW ed
them to ne, or that the abuses of such ,sws
had grown into sIcn custom that ire
enforcement thereof was judged, not by
been. However we may differ upon the
propriety os tie laws up N tie statute
books howsyer we may diftcr Gpun the ,, ma,
our views may vary upon the privileges TO De
granted ON one or another day OF the week.
the primal principle must be observed that
the laws enacted must be enfored until
they are repealed. In no other way can
police force be properly organized, dis
ciplined and maintained. and in no other
maner can law and order be established
and maintained in a crowded community or
otherwise.
PERSONALLY, 1 do not believe that the
enforcement of our excise laws will ever
fail to breed more or less discomfort until
the question of the Sunday opening Of the
saloons is established by vote of the
people themselves. and ! would gladly see
the question submitted for decision at the
elections as to whether or not the people
desire the opening of the saloons on sun
day. and If they do so desire it, what period
of that day shall be allowed for that pur-
pose / do not believe that the most health
full enforcement of the law can De had,
however great may appear the necessity
therefor. by the employment of a system of
espionage that creates suspicion eithe- as
to it's fairness or the manner in which 1t
is exerciSed."

ward +. Cragin. chairman of the Chicago
executive committee to aid the Armenians.
thanking him for his suggestion of coloniz-
ing these people in New Mexico. and offer
ing to supply the necessary land free of

idea the happiest solution of the Armenian
problem that has yet been advanced. He
has looked into the character of the Ar
menians, and regards them as very de-
sirable class of citizens. In western Va
lencia county. along the line of the At
lantic & Pacific railroad Mr.. Chaves has
extended landed interests. and he proposes
to place at the disposal of the Chicago Ar
menian Association, free of cost, all the
land they may desire to colonize.up to 500, 900
acres. Or, il the committee deems best to
locate the colonists on public lands, Mr..
Chaves offers his services to enable the
people to secure such locations.
