CONGRESSMAN ELLIS.
His Effort to Get on the Gold Standard
Plank Was HumiIiating.


Plank Was HumiIiating.
In his speech at opera house Tuesday
night. M. Ellis talked for little over
an hour to fairsized audience. There
were many vacant seats, and more than
half the crowd were women and chill
dren. He spoke pleasantly, and told
| three or four very funny stories. These
were well received. In fact the prin-
cipal applause of the evening was in
response to the stories. -
He did not take any ground on the
silver question: In fact, he did not
seem to know "wbere he was att. on
that question. Most, of his argument
was devoted to a:sort of an implied
apology upon his part for ever having
voted for free coinage. He opened
up by congratulating the gold. stand
ard democrats who had left their party
because it favored free silver. He
seemed to think it was greatly credit
able to them that they should follow
their convictions'and leave their party.
He did not seem to realize that accord
ing to that reasoning he should have
left his party, and should now be advo-
eating free silver. He tried to make
the audience believe that the tariff was
the paramount issue. In this, of course,
his argument was squarely in the face
of that of Geo. Fl. Williams. and, en-
tirely inconsistent with the speeches
of Mckinley, in which he places the
money question as the paramount
issue.
Altogether, with the exception of
his stories, the speech was very eooly
received. The free silver people did
not seem to appreciate the address, be-
cause they did not like Mr.. Ellis
change of front. And the gold stand
ard advocates in the audience were
still more unresponsive because they
never have liked Mr.. Ellis personally.
and because he does not seem to be
quite enough of gold bug for them.
The friends of Mr.. Ellis were very
sorry to see him placed in such hui
initiating position-very sorry that he
did not have the courage of his con-
victions-the courage to come out
openly and advocate the cause of the
common people-free silver.
Mr.. Ellis seems to be an honest man,
and a friend OF the people. 1t is pity
that such men should place party
above patriotism, and their political
organization above their country.

THREE TELLING SPEECHES.

Smith, Noland and Bennett Argue for
Silver.
The joint Bryan rally at the Bald
win Wednesday was success in every
respect. The hall was filled to its ut
most capacity, and when the drum
corps arrived with the picture of Bryan
on transparency, the cheer that went
up fairly "raised the roof"
When Mr.. Smith was introduced he
was greeted with hearty applause,
and his address of 20 minutes was
frequently interrupted by outbursts of
enthusiasm from the audience. The
speaker took the position that the con-
traction of the currency resulted in
q decline in the price of all else ex
cept money. By a concise line of
reasoning he proved beyond contradic.
tion that this is true. Mr.. Smith is,
indeed, close reasoner, and his argu-
ment to substantiate his position was
most convincing
Following Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Noland
took the stand, and after a few intro
ductory remarks submitted telling
argument. proving the absurdity of the
idea of international agreement.
Three international conferences. he
said, had been called for the purpose
of establishing parity between gold
and silver and each had been dismal
failure, hence nothing could be hoped
for fr. m that source. Disposing of
that subject he next turned his at
tention to the question, is the United
States powerful enough to establish
bimetalic system Independent of other
nations? Quoting from the statistician
Mulhall, he showed that this country
did one-third the commerce of the
world, had more than half of all rail-
roads, produced go per cent of all the
cotton, so per cent of all the corn, 20
per cent of all the wheat, had more
universal education than any other
nation of like population and required
one-third of the money of the world to
transact its daily business. From the
statistics he drew the conclusion that
we we're of sufficient importance in the
worlds trade to adopt and maintain
an independent financial system. II
conclusion Mr.. holland appealed to

IT WAS INCENDIARY.
The NIL at Lyle Was Evidently Set on
Fire


Further particulars of the fire at
Lyle Wednesday night, which destroy
ed Rowe & Co.'S. saw mill have been
received and indicate the fire was OF
incendiary origin. A political meet
ing was held at Lyle that evening and
the crowd dispersed about 10 o'clock.
The man who has charge of the Mill
was awakened by the people passing
by his residence, and at that hour no
light was seen in or about the mill. A
short time afterward the mill was all
ablaze, and by II o'clock was snould-
ering heap of aches.
The mill had not been running for
some time, and there had been no fire
in the boiler for SO hours previous to
when the building was discovered to
be in flames. The mill was valued at
about S., 900, and was insured fer 81 200.

To Sell the short Line.

A press dispatch today says: The
American Loan and Trust Company
has filed its application for permission
to foreclose and sell the Oregon Short
Line and Utah Northern road This is
virtually the first important step taken
looking to the sale of the Short Line
and its divorce from the UnioI.
Pacific system. The reorganization
committee of the Short Line was
formed several months ago, and it
is generally conceded that it has made
such progress that, after the granting
of the petition OF the trust company,
the road will be foreclosed at once and
bid in by the bondholders, and the re-
organization plans will be put into
operation. 1t is asserted that the date
for its leaving the Union Pacific is set
for January /.
