The Salem Statesman cllnches the
silver squestion by gravely stating
that ia Australia enough silver is
mined to make dollar for 10 cents
Did IL ever strike the Statesman man
that gold is often mined at very
small per ceutage of the dollar
value
If the metal is dollar, whether
gold or silver, and must cost a dollar
TO produce IL who would be so foolish
as to open and develop mines.
1t would be as potent an argument
for the friends of silver to claim rec
ognition for the white metal on ac.
count Of mines having been developed
and worked for a short time where
every dollars worth of silver obtained
cost s.. Mining for the precious
metals is In the nature Of gambling
venture, and the failure or success Of
mine owners In realizing from their
interests has little or no bearing on
the correct determination OF the
money question.-Eugene Guard.

Kiao Chau bay:the railroad monopoly
of Shan Tung province, and the occu-
patton of Kiao Chau bay as German

the murder of the missionaries and
for the damage done to the mission

The attempt to sneer at the oppos-
ition as Bryanites.in the city election
will not succeed. That name is not a
party name, or worship OF Mr.. Bryan,
but is a term that Is applied by Re-
publican politicians to whatever
opposes Them. Mr.. Bryan is
at the head OF a successful state
government in Nebraska that has
restored order In public finances,
reduced taxation aud promoted good
government. There is no evidence
that Nebraska has suffered from the

means honesty Oand responsibility TO

The restoration OF city credit,

people, can only be promoted by elect
ing a staight-out Bryan man for city

Famine in Dawson and Other Points Ia.

SEATTLE, Wash Nov. 3O.-Twenty
five men arrived yesterday on the City
of Seattle, direct from Dawson City,
They were divided into two pariirs
the last Of which left Dawson City,
OctoDer 10. The various members of
the party are reported TO have brought
out gold and drafts TO the aggregate
amount Of s5OO,OOO.
All tell stories of food shortage 10
Dawson that is almost a famine. The
last person TO leave Dawson was
Jack Dalton. When Dalton left the
steamers Alice and Bella had reached
there, loaded light. 1t is said that
the Bella's cargo consisted OF whisky
and billiard balls She brought no
provisions. The Canadian mounted
police chartared the Bella aud gave
all who wishes free passage to Fort
Yukon. The Bella is reported to
have left about October y, with 200
men.
When the party left Dawson moth
ing in the line of food could be pur-
chased there except sugar, baking
powder and a little dried fruit, and
every restaurant in the camp had
closed.
Thomas Magee, sr., the well-known
San Francisco capitalist, gives
graphic account the perils and
hardships encountered by his party in
coming out by way of the Dalton
trail to Chilcat. Jack Dalton, one of
the best.known characters of the
Klondike, piloted the party through,
and it was probably due to his guild
ance that the trip was safely accom-
plished,
Two hcrses periShed Of starvation
on the way, and the men OF the party
had several close calls from suffering
a similar fate, arriving at Dalton's
various food catches along the route
in the nick of time. In addition to
Mr.. Magee, sr,, and Jack Dalton, the
party which came down on the City

THE JOURNAL promised itself some
time since to devote little space tC

know that IL is risky for daily news.
paper writer, where all must be done
in haste and with a dash, where
leisure is forbidden, to attempt crit
icism. We assure the faculty regents,
and young people of State University
that we have no desire TO ridicule the
specimens of English sought to be
criticised, but to bring out the weak
ness of construction and carelessness
of diction that seems to US apparent.
If they will all agree at the start to
consider criticism lmpersonal we shall
proceed IN the beginning TO analyze
some faulty sentences. In the class
oration of 1897, "OreRon Literature, {"
the speaker, addressing an oak tree,
uses these words: "But IL Is as a
monarch we approach 1t, with revtr-
ence that our name is upheld by 1t,
that we are associated with it,"
The dliTculty arises in the use Of
the word monarch. Is the person or
thetree tn" "monarch?"It 1t Is impossible
to take the sentence TO pieces and dis
cover any relativlty or'fitness what
ever. Such defective sentence
should not be found in an oration on
"Oregon In Literature"
Next we quote a sentence from the
Failing prize $3.50 Grafton. The prize
was awarded for writing and de-
livering the best Grafton" When il
is considered that there is ample time
To finish an oration, to perfect each
sentence, tn round each period, TO
choose the right word to be used in
the right place, this sentence is cum
bersoine, careless 'ly constr ucted and not
clear In its meaning:
But from these lessons nations have |
Cleaned the truth that the supreme |

om that courage, self-respect, and 1
Independence which constitutes ro-
bust manhood.
Beginning with "but," followed
with numerous "and nots," mot

nigh impossible to extrlcate the real
meaning from the string OF big words,
and the involved mass of.verblage.
We haye asked several good writers,
and newspaper men of experience, t,i

We challenge all the professors of all
