EDITORIAL NOTES.

Ex-Attorney General Williams, who
Is conceded to be one of the most far
seeing men in the state, propecies that
"the people OF the Omitted States are
determined to restore silver as stand.
ard money, and the political parties
will have to take notice of that fact"
The New York World says Hoke
Smith. ]. G. Carlisle, and William L.
Wilson of President Cleveland's cabi-
net have decided to support Bryan and
Sewall. President Cleveland has not
as yet expressed himself. When he
does speak he will probably "tell the
truth"
A few months ago the big republi.
can organs like the Oregonian we're
very severe upon Ambassador Bayard
because of his alleged liking for every
thing English. Now they love the
old gentleman just. as inuently as they
once hated him because he has de.
clared for the god standard platform
upon which Major Mckinley stands.
j. Sterling Morton, secretary Of Ag-
riculture. is out in Nebraska booming
himself as the candidate of the gold
standard democrats for president. He
says his only aim is to down the Bryan
''craze" and elect Mckinley. IT thisis
his object, he would appear more con-
sistent if be would enter thu campaign
as supporter of Mckinley, and quit
fooling around as a democrat.
The republican campaign for 1895
was opened yesterdayat Alfred, Me-,
by Hon. Thomas B. Reed, who is by
odds the bralniest man in the repub-
lican party today and who has accepted
the nomination of his party for repre-.
sentative of the first congressional
district of Maine. Mr.. Reed in his
speech held that the. money question
is the paramount issue in the cam.
paign.
Affairs in California offer an ex.
PLANTATION of the general situation.
The Southern Pacific company, the
leading corporation in the state, is
concentrating all its forces in the re-
publican ranks Not very long ago
the leading republican newspapers of
San Francisco were vigorously fighting
the funding bill, and the republican
state convention adopted plank de.
nouncing it. Today the republican
papers are saying nothing about the
funding bill and are praying republican
voters will forget it. This shows
clearly enough that the Southern
Pacific-is the dominating: inficence in
the republican party Of the state. A
similar condition OF affairs exists in
every other state.
A letter was. received by a promi.
nent democrat of this city this morn.
ing from Hon. E. D. Mckee, inviting
him to meet with the gold standard
democrats in Portland at,an early date
and arrange for sending delegates to
the sound money convention to be
held in Indianapolis on iAugust Z, to
arrange for nominating a gold-stand-
ard democrat for president. This prop
psition we believe is cnot accepted
favorably by single democrat in
Wasco county. Those who cannot
support the regular nominee of the
national convention do not favor mid
die grounds, and instead of advocating
a third candidate will simply go to the
polls and vote for Nc Kinley.

4 CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION

We are informed by the republican
press Of the land that from now until
the November election, this shall be
campaign conducted OF lines of educa.
ton; that the issues shall be stripped
of all sentimentalism; that personali-
ties will be laid aside, and that, by the
submitting OF facts and figures, the
voters of the nation will be convinced
of the falacy of q change in the money
standard Of the country. This Is be.
yond question the manner in which
the campaign should be conducted.
Americans are the most patriotic peo-
pie On earth, and as a rule they desire
that the government should be con-
Quoted on principles that will result in
the greatest good to the greatest num-.
ber. What systems will bring about
these results is. what the average
voters wants to learn, therefore he
welcomes the campaign Of education;
the one in which he is to be convinced
by facts and figures; but he demands
that he be fed on facts, not fiction.
Then if the press and campaign orators
will confne themselves to facts. the
voter may gain much knowledge dur.
ing the coming campaign, and when
election day rolls round win be pre-.
pared to decide what is best for the
country; but will they? Let us look
into thGsssfafng inns faS adapted-by1

far as farming purposes are con-
ceFned.
An artesian well may be made to
produce enough electric power to oper-
ate every piece of machinery on a
farm.
There is an artesian well near Cham
berlain, 5. D., for instance, operating
the electric plant from which cur
rent is obtained to light up the city at
night. This current could be used for
power purposes on the farm instead of
for lighting purposes. This well is
situated in what is known as The ar
tesian well basin Of South Dakota
Other wells are plentiful in all direc-
lions. and several more private electric
plants have been projected. Some OF
these viii be partly used for farming
purposes so that we may soon have n
