the Pacific coast mountain states.
Before Senator Mitchell is elected
the people should know where he
stands on this question. AS he may
not be In Washington when this
funding bill will go to the senate, if
it shall pass the house, his views
should be known as soon as possible.
The deliberate fraud practiced by
the Republican politicians of Oregon
last spring is bearing fruit in the dis
Indignation of the party. That fraud
was consummated by a secret combi-
nation to overthrow and defeat the
two silver congressman and senator
Mitchell in the intesest of the gold
obligarchy that has effected pro-
tectorate over national Republican
ism. Herman and Ellis were to be
retired or defeated, and gold-stand-
ard legislature to be chosen. This
was carried so far by the gold-con-
spirators to make an open fight on
three prominant Mitchell bimetalists
in Marion county, Barkley, Chapman,
and Craig. But the plan failed on
these men. BY the loyalty of the
silver Republicans Ellis was saved
and Republican legislature chosen.
Thomas II. Tongue, if he hold his
seat in congress, will be as completely
tool of the gold power as Cleveland
or Carlisle, representing not much

owed by these railroads to the govern
ment are now in round numbers $780,
100000, and the proposed bill is a
thiply disguised scheme to relieve the
railroads OF the obligation To pay
them.
Ought not Oregon representatives
aud senators help to prevent the pass
age of measure so unfair TO the gov
ernment and so Hnfavorable to the
people of the Pacific coast? The bill
does not propose TO give the govern
ment even the interest that must be
paid on the debt. The government
is now paying 81 per cent interest ON
its loans. BY the terms Of this bill
the railroad companies are not to pay
in any year sum equal to per cent
upon the debt. The payments were
from 2.95 per cent on the debt to I.27
per cent, but by calling part of it
repayment of principal and part of
it "interest," the debt is supposed to
be "extinguished" in something less
than 100 years. The government will
each year have to make up def
cheney in interest unless current rates
fall greatly, and at the end of the
time will still have TO pay the princi-
pal of the debt that the railroad COM
panies have eyaded.
The plea that the government must |
take this settlement or nothing is
obviously false. Two years ago the |
promoters of the present bill offered |
the government per cent interest |
and repayments to settle the indebt-
e lness in 90 years-an offer which the
53rd congress rejected as unjust to the
The net earnings of the |
Central Pacific for the past five years |
have, by its own reports, averaged |
above S5,OOO,OOO a year. The net |
of the Union Pacific last |
year, by its own books, were 81, ,735, 900.
The Southern Pacific Company as the
lessee of the Central Pacific, is depre-
ciatlng the value of the Central line
as far as possible by diyerting traffic
to the Southern Pacific line, yet, even
at this the net earnings of the road
ire now between s4,OOO,OOO and $780,
700. The net earnings of the two
roads under the present unfavorable
conditions are about SO, 900, 900 a year,
which, after deductions for non-aided
portions of the line, is sufficient to
pay the present government rate of 81
per cent interest on the first mortgage
lebt, and the full government debt,
and still leave something for sinking
fund.

Griggs Strong in Calhoun.
Referring to the recent visit of Judge
Griggs to Morgan, the Monitor, publish
ed at that place, says:
Judge Griggs is in the race for con
gress from the second congressional dis
trict, and if he secures the prize will
make true and faithful representative
of the people. He knows what they want
and need, and has both the address,
pluck and ability to further their inter
ests. We believe that the leading issue
in the coming campaign will be the f.
nancial question, and it cannot be gal n
said that nine-tenths of the voters of this
bailiwick are fully and unchangeably in
favor of the dollar of our daddies.'
Judge Griggs is heartily and earnestly
with them on this squestion, and the
Monitor believes tina. he can carry Cal
houn county against any man, be he
ever so loved and honored, who proposes
to wander off from the party with Cleve-
land"
Squarely in the Race.
The Triton Gazette refers to Judge
Griggs in the following complimentary
manner:
1.-The resignation of Judge J. NJ.
Griggs, of the Pataula circuit, places
him squarely in the race, and his oppo-
neats will find him no mean foe. His
record as jurist is among the first of
the state, and his servic es to the demo
cratic party of his district and state have
been of the best, as all who remember
his ringing speech and effective work for
harmony at the congressional convention
in Albany in 1892, and his services at
forwards in the closesfght, well know.
He was also one of the vice-presidents
of the Chicago convention in that year,
and one of the ablest defenders of its
platform"

National Congressional Commit
teeman Apsley Will Ad-
dress the Meeting.
THEIR WORK IN COLORADO.
They Bearded the Lion in HIS Den
and Held Overflow Meetings in
Two Places There.

Congressman S. w. Mccall of Massa-
chusetts and L. d. Apsley OF the same
State, vice-chairman of the Republican
National Congressional Committee, will
speak on the issues OF the campaign this
evening at the Auditorium, corner of
Eddy and Jones streets.
Congressman Mccall has achieved great
reputation as a speaker. He represents
the Eighth District of Massachusetts,, in
(which Harvard College is situated, ana is
the originator OF the expression, "press-
ing a crown OF thorns upon the brow OF
Labor" which expression was stolen by
Bryan, and used by him with great eclat
at Chicago.
Mr.. Mccall is a forceful and logical
speaker, and has but few equals in the
United States. He and Mr.. Apsley
bearded the silver lion in his den, and had
overflow meetings in Colorado Springs
and Colorado City, at which they were
granted not only respectful attention, but
liberal applause. This arose from the
fact that more than one half OF both
audiences were Republicans and support
eTs'of Mckinley and protection to Ameri-
can abor.
The meeting tonight will be held under
the auspices of the Republican State Cen
traI committee. george a. hnlgnt Will
preside. The gallery will be reserved for
ladies and their escorts.
IheeXecutiYe committee of the National
Republican League will meet this evening
IN tbejr headquarters Pioneer building.
Business of portance will be transacted
and all the members are requested to
i, attend.
The executive committee of the Repub-
lean State Central Committee will hold
a meeting at the latter end of this week
TOR the purpose Of filling the vacancy on
the electoral ticket.
Francis A. Tee ex-D strict Attorney OF
MADEIRA County, one of the brightest law
yers in Central California, was in the City
to-day. He expressed the opinion that
MADEIRA County would give majority for
Mckinley and protection. The rasin-
growers, sheepmen and laborers in that
part OF the country have been impover-
lshed by the Wilson act and they declare
that they have had enough of Democratic
hnancering. A few of the gold-miners in
the mountains in that county are for free
coinage OF silver. and state as their reason
that the increase in the number OF silver
dollars will send gold TO premium, and
that they would benefit in that way.
That explains the paradox of gold miner
being in favor of the unlimited coinage of
silver with gold at a ratio which almost
doubles the value of silver.
