"a NEWSPAPERS INFLUENCE.

The influence of great newspaper and
the value of an intelligent. broad-minded
and discreet correspondent have been
again strikincly shown within the past
few days in tho evident change Of public
opinion in England toward America
brought about by the London Chronicle
and it's special Washington correspond
ent.
Tho English have more regnrd for the
uttcrnnces of their great newspapers
than the Americans generally accord TO
their metropolitan Journals. The pre-
tensions of the New York World that
its frantic ''peace measures" had q great
effect on American sentiment are mere
brag. Every Intelligent American en-
tertains today the same sentiment and
views he entertained when Mr.. Cleve-
lands Venezuelan message was first pub
lished. In England, however, II is
openly admitted that public opnion has
undergone change, that there is a
growing disposition evon in government
circles to see good points in the American
position and that arbitration with Vene-
zucla is becoming almost assured.
For this change the letters of Mr..
Henry Norman, the Chronicles commits

said that the bureau wds chasing down au-

little has heeu sail about n. however, the
Objection would not come from tho railroad
people. for some OF them have already eN-
pressed themselves in favor OF tho plan,
without knowing that the commission had

ID. J. Cooper arrived from The
Dallcs on Sunday. When asked how
the people Of Eastern Oregon were
pleased with McKinley's nomination
his reply was, that Mckinley was the
idol Of the wool growers, farmers and
laborers. AT least three-fourths OF
the people wanted Mckinley but not
more than One-f0urth wanted the
bosses gold plank In the platform.
The ambiguous term "the great civil
lized nations OF the earth" agreeing
as 10 what kind OF money we shall use
Is very Objectionable, and something
new. About l2O years ago the civil
lized nations OF the earth undertook
70 dictate terms 20 us, and we OBJ
jected. The great nation undertook
TO force us 10 comply and after long
struggle gave II up as a bad Job.
Thirty-slx years ago this spring there
was an attempt made 10 break up this
Union, TO prevent which cost many

great civilized nation OF the earth

conflict aud failed. Now since by

ness we have grown 20 be, In point OF
wealth aud numbers by far the

nations say what kind OF money we
shall snse II and not before, IL remains
to be seen whether our people will be
dictated 10 by those great nations or

iury of five. Sol NJ. Stock being eN-

HAYDEN opened the case to Tie Jury,
nrefacing his remarks by saying that
while the sum sued for was very
small amount, but the principal in
yolyed was very importanti lie reau
the pleadings and contract tp the
Jury. and commented thereon Drleny;
Mr.. Mckinney had not canVaSseu
as he agreed, not using his enort 10
IsOlicit subscribers as he agreed, ana
not making settlement on Une
tenth OF each month as agreed. II
Mckinney had been wronged ne mao
an action for damage. He could not
carry on his suit over the head OF Mr..
Diley as he was trying TO do.
Mr.. Holmes stated the case TO the
Jury. Mr.. Mckinney had been
wr0nged. This was tacitly admitted
by counsel for plaintiff, but they said
he had chosen the wrong remedy. The
turning point in this case was In that
clause giving Mckinney h1 right + o
renew If he had complied with the
contract he had a right to renew 1t.
The statement that he had not set
tied promptly on the 10th of each
month would be shown untrue. He
might have failed by day or two at
times but 1t was not claimed he now
owed anything. He had applied for
reward, had kept his contract to the
letter. and they had offered to renew
IL for six months or a year, II he
would strike out the renewal clause.
