A writer In the Willamette Col
leglan suggests that Oregon Is but
little represented I'm the literature Of
our country and "can point out no
ono who has gained national repnta-
tlon either In prose or poetry At
most Oregon can claim Samuel l..
Simpson as the author Of "The
Beautiful Blue Willamette" classic
OF the school readers and found In
many collections Of verse. II Is more
than likely Oregon can claim TO be
the home Of Bert Harte and Joaquin
Miller quite as well rs California.
The Offering Of q $500 prize to slim
ulate some one 20 produce n merit
orious literary work, as is suggested,
would not hasten the ripening OF any
literary fruit on the tree OF letters.
The study Of English literature as
such will alone produce men and
women Of literary tastes and ability.
At present the subject Is little more
than trihcd with in our schools and
colleges. The subject is worthy Of
more attention and aside from Pres
idcnts Ilawley, Of the willamette,
and Chapman, of Eugene, Oregon can
scarcely boast Of "A person capable Of

IL was while the advlsability of at
tempting TO secure u pledge Of support
was under consideration that the sill
yer question came up. II was sprung
by the question as to what the silver
Republicans would do in case free
silver amendment should be offered on
the tariff bill In the senate.
Senator Mitchell or Oregon, was the
first to respond to this inquiry. He
said he would join the silver forces In
an effort 20 secure the adoption Of a
free coinage substitute for the house
bond bill, but that with the silver
question disposed Of in that connec-
tion he would advise the silver Re-
publicans to refrain from participant
ing in any effort which might he
made to amend the tariff bill by add
ing y free coinage provision.
Senator Carter followed in the
same line ofargument, advising united
action on the part Of the silver Re-
pubiicans in opposition TO such an
amendment in the event OF the prev
ious passage Of a silver substitute for
the bond bill.
He said that he thought their action
on The bond bill would be suniicent
indication to the country OF their at
titude. He did not say that he would |
oppose such an amendment by his
vote in case OF the failure to secure
concerted and unanimous action by
his silver colleagues, but he urged
them to strenuuusly agree to this line
of action.

OUR DRUNKEN FIREMEN

Frederick A. Hoar, a Jersey City news
paper reporter, was attacked last night
and murderously assaulted by a number
of steamship arenen on Hudson street,
Hoboken. Hoar was writing in his office,
No. 50 Hudson street, until two O'Clock
this morning. At that hour he left his
office and started to walk home, along
Hudson street. On the other side of the
street from him were four drunken fire.
men from the steamship st. Louis. max
ing the night hideous with their howis.
AS soon as they caught sight of Hoar
one of the men, a ~strapping big fellow,
ran across the street and struck Hoar in
the face As he did SO he said, Let me
see YOU face, Hoar said, There's my
face" The fireman glared at him a mo-
ment and then hit him again, knocking
the reporter to the sidewalk. By this
time the other three firemen ran across
the street and all took a hand in kick
ing and beating the PROSTATE man. Hoar
managed to gain his feet and ran, bleed
ing, into the middle of the road. in front
of the firehouse on Hudson street. One
of the fremen followed him, and, Selling
the newspaper man, dashed him to the
ground. and all four began to kick and
peat Min AGAIN. lHey dragged 1OdT
along by his coat, showering kicks and
blows upon him.
Fireman zimmerman and School Trus-
tee Henry Hess were attracted by his
yells for help, and ran to his assistance.
They tried to surround him and get him
away from the Infatuated firemen, but the
drunken sailors were too powerful, and
seizing Hoar they brutally carried him
down Hudson street keeping up their muir
derous assault.
John Clark, ex-Manager of the Lyric
Theatre, ran to Hoar's assistance, and
with the help of Hess and Zimmerman,
managed to drag Hoar away from the
grasp of the firemen. AT this point the
tardy police arrived, and after a desper-
ate struggle, arrested the -four frernen
and locked them up. This morning Re-
corder McDonough fined them only SO
each, and allowed them to go.
Hoar was able to be about this morn
ing, but he is badly bruised about the
body. He says that when the assault
was first made. his coat flew open and
the men saw his badge. This seemed to
~infuriate them, and they all set upon him
Ike mad men, He thinks they either mis-
took him for somebody else or cherished a
grudge against him for some newspaper
allusion. They would give no explana-
ton for their action in court this morn
ing and maintained a morose and drunken
silence When fined
