A Higher Tariff Not Practicable,
Special to the New York World from
Ashland, o., Aug. 4:-Emmit Rittep-
house recently wrote letter to Senator
John Sherman inquiring what, in his
opinion, tile Republican party, il 1t came
into power again, would do to pay off
the existing bonds and interest thereon.
The senator replied as follows:
Mansfield, o., Aug. 90, 1896: Dear Sir:
The only way in which Republican adj
mlnistratlnn can correct the evils of the
past Is by increasing the revenue by a
new tariff law, and this, fear, is not
practicable. Very truly yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.
Prominent Republicans suppressed the
letter as soon as its contents became
known. 1t was written on senate
chamber letter head.

President Miller of the C. NJ. g. St.
Paul railway, il letter to w. D. Boies
Of Sheldon. Iowa, and through another
published statement, emphatically de-
nies that his company has in any man
ner attempted to coerce or influence its
employees to vote against free silver or
that 1t has sought to prevent the sale of
free silver literature on its trains. He
says these charges carry their own de-
nial in their absurdity and that 1t is not
deemed possibly that anyonecould credit
them. He further states:
"We believe our employees know this
we'll we'll enough, but inasmuch as there
has been. apparently, systematic at,
tempt to prejudice them by alleging
that, in effect, they are not free Ameri.
can citizens, and to prejudice the public
by alleging that this company is inter.
fering with the rights Of American citi
zens. have thought it best to give Off
cial and specific denial to the charges.
This should put an end to any more
charges of this kind 20 far as the Mil
waukee road is concerned.

Sioux City Tribune:-some of the Re.


Sioux City Tribune:-Some of the Re.
publican papers Of South Dakota keep
standing in their columns communica-
tion headed, "Why Is Tom Fitch Republi
can" The most important reason we
can discover in the whole article why
Mr.. Fitch is q Republican reads as fol-
lows:
Rather will I turn to the Republican
goddess the, same steadfast face that
bore when my locks, now whitening,
were black as the ravens wing, and say
to her as Ruth said to Naomi: Whittier
thou goest. will go; and where thou
lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be
my people, and thy God my God; where
thou diest will die, and there will be
buried"
In other words. the Republican party
can be for repudiation. or any other here
sy and Tom Fitch will be with it. The
party can favor any crime in the deca-
logue, but 1t won't faze Mr.. Fitch's 10y
atty. The party can vote to place mil
lion dollars in the pocket Of Mark Hanna
and Tom Fitch will do his share Of the
voting. And, to carry out his biblical
program, does Tom Fitch expect to meet
his BOaZ in the shape of a pOstoflice?

Mixed up with His Brother.

John Combs, sheriff of Crook county,
and Joseph Combs, sheriff of Grant
county, are brothers, but the former
has serious intentions OF making some
change in his name in the hope of es-
Gaping the newspaper notoriety he re-
ceives whenever he goes to Salem.
On Monday he took two prisoners to
the penitentiary, from Prineville, and
was also accompanied by two guards.
After delivering his prisoners to
Superintendent Gilbert, he presented
his bill of expense, 1928, to the
secretary of state, and received the
money. Yesterday morning he was
announced as 'the heavy charger"
and as sheriff of Grant county who
"had gained some notority last winter
by collecting sl445 for conveying nine
prisoners to Salem" 1t was the
Grant-county sheriff who made the
haul out of the state treasury; but,
whenever his Crook county brother
puts in an appearance, John is sure to
get all the blame for it, and now he is
getting tired.--Oregonian.

LOOKING FoR GOOD PRICES

| Wheat Condition Looked on as Promising
Liberal Returns to the Growers.
The West Coast Trade. published at
Tacoma, says of the wheat outlook:
The trend in heat continues not at
all ltisf tctory to those who haye an
ticipated immediate and permanent
advances of decisive character, crop
| news for the week has been all on the
side of more favorable condition, the
visible has decreased only 435, 800
bushels, as against six times that
amount the CORES poading week of
LAST year, while Russia continues a
heavy shipper, and there was an in
crease of 10000 quarters on ocean
passage for the week. However.
there is an abiding faith in reasonably
good prices for the coming crop,
with the prospective shortage of
the United States, Indian and Argen-
tine crops, and possible continuance
of the South African demands for
Pacific coast wheat, at least until the |
new crop from Australia commences
to move, while the development shown |
in demands for -four exports from the |
North Pacific will probably still fur /
ther increase the milling requirements.
There has been very small move
ment to this port for the past month,
but then the completion of seeding
which is now practically accomplished
should bring out the small surplus in
farmers hands and create a small in
crease during May, while a few COM
praratively large blocks of wheat are
held in strong hands and may be
brought out by developments of the
market or changing opinions on the
part of holders. Beyond the arrival of
the last wheat carrier of the season,
there is no change in the Puget Sound
situation, prices being maintained at
former figures, with practically
nominal business. The crop situation
hss shown manifest improvement for
the week.

Col. Sinnott this morning demon
strated that the assertion of Mr.. Dodd,
that silver is worth only so cents on
the dollar. is mistake. He went to
all the banks in the city this morning
and endeaYored to get two dollars in
silver for one dollar in gold, but met
with disappointment at every place.
The Col. thinks Mr.. Dodd is misin-
formed on the money question.
Cascade Locks will be invaded today

be good idea to furnish the whole

very sure there is no better way of
getting into the good graces of this

toward an open river. BY the bye,
this reminds us, that while the candi-
dates for congress are talking silver,

open river would be very acceptable.

A BUREAU OF MINES.
To Supply Investors With Accurate and
Reliable Information.

| To Supply Investors With Accurate and
| Reliable Information.
Col r. W. Mitchell, who arrived in
town several days since from Portland,
has been so busily engaged with the
land Office that he did not have time
to be interviewed on very import
ant matter largely affecting the in
terests of the people of Eastern Oregon,
and especially those connected with a
mining enterprise, says the La Grande
Chronicle.
Before leaving Portland, Col.
Mitchell, together with several very
we'll known gentlemen, organized an
incorporated bureau of mines. This
bureau starts out upon a solid basis
clear of all obstacles, and will in a few
days be ready for business. The in
corporators are John P. Marshall
cashier of the Ainsworth National
bank, of Portland, Chas. W. Knowles,
formerly proprietor of the st. Charles
hotel, and largely interested in mining
operations, and Col. r. w. Mitchell.
The bureau will in no sense be an Sex
change" The main business of the
bureau will be to collect information
of an accurate and trustworthy char
acter Of the different mines in Oregon
and throughout Washington and
Idaho, and to dispense such in
formation to parties desiring to
become interested or to invest
in mining properties. Reliable
experts have been engaged, and they
will be put under bonds and all reports
will be under oath. The manager of
the bureau will be F. H. Brigham,
we'll known throughout Eastern Ore
gon as an engineer of repute and
ability.
The first step of the bureau is to OBJ
tain the locality and full description
of every piece of mining property
worthy of name or entitled to con-
sideration.
1t is not intended to exclude pros
poets from consideration, but, ON the
contrary, all species of mining enter
prise will be Investigated for the pur-
pose of getting at its probable value,
and to decide whether or not the bu-
reau shall give it any attention. The
great trouble with bureaus heretofore
has been that they were not based or
had in their management persons who
did not command the respect of the
communities in which they were or
ganiZed.

method of designating the candidates
the elector wishes to vote for under

he votes for, the elector simply places
an x in the space between the number
ber and the name of the candidate
voted for. All other names are left
blank. For convenience we will give
an illustration;
