HIN. w. J. Bryan will address the
ne,,ple OF Ashland, Salem and Port
land on his trip through Oregon IN
JuIy. The Salem JOURNAL says
"Wben Bryan was here year, last
state fair, the managers Of the state
fair did not exert themselves TO let
the crowds get near Bryan. If he
comes to Salem again there Is
no power on earth can keep
the people from hearing him. People
will come hundreds Of miles to hear
WIN. Bryan, the young champion
az tae West" Nothing strange
about people coming hundreds OF
miles to hear Bryan this year, MT.
Hofer. BY defeating Bryan for pres
jdent and clectlng Mckinley. the
reople Of Eastern Oregon can now sell
their sheep for 81 per head, while two
years ago they could not get 80 cents
per head. The people will have
plenty Of money to go and bear Mr.
BRYAN this year. and have a rip roar
ing. high old time. 1t Is Republican
rule. sou know Dallas Observer.
We are glad our Republican friend
across the river feels 50 kindly toward
Mr.. Bryan. But we do not agree that
the people helped themselves very
much by defeating Mr.. Bryan. He
represented the cause OF independent
bimetalllsm and abolition Of monopoly
finance. He opposed further bond
( ssues and deals with gold syndicates'
10 chain down the industries and
enslave a free people to the dead, idle
aud .untaxed capital OF Wall street
and Great Britain.
That cause is not dead. The Nc
KInley commissioners are abroad TO
negotiate an international coinage
law, or agreement. The various
countries or Europe tell them, seer
tainly, II England consents" Does
any Republican with intelligence
that rises above mere appetite for
spoils believe England will consent?
IL we believe in bimetallism and
know England will never consent to
restoration OF blmetallism what re-
mains TO be done? Why not become
an independent bimetallists and not
keep hunting for pot OF prosperity
at the end OF a. British rainbow that
you know you will never find.
The average mans political sagac-
ity extends beyond his partisan preju-
dlces. lie Is not animated by hatred
and bigotry against sound principles
merely because they are advocated
and supported by the Peoples party
and the SILVER Democracy.
We do not believe our people are
satisfied with mere" Republican'rule," "
They want money in their purses,
meat In the pot, and employment at
good wages. So far Republican rule
has not helped matters much. 1t
may In time; but we are not going TO
abandon independent blmetallism on
the promise OF being tarlfred into
prosperity.

UNION,
But Is Opposed to Fusion
Editorial Views of the ScIo
Press"

While nearly every true patrlotlc
reformer may be in favor Of a union
of all reform elements, but very rev.
indeed, aside from Office seekers, are
in favor of fusion. There is vast
difference in the reformer who is ac-
tuated by principle and a desire TO
benefit the masses of the people, and
he who is actuated from selfish pur-
poses, or has fat-office as the goal OF
his desires. Reformers first alluded
to, are generally in favor of union;
while the latter are the advocates OF
fusion. 1t makes but little difference
to the patriotic Teformer who is Tree
from party prejudice under what
name reform is brought about;
whether it is republican, de mocrat,
peoples party, bi-metallic union or
American. 1t is the principle that
he edesires to have Incorporated into
the laws of our country, while under
what name it is accomplished, makes
but little difference. Every man, who
has the good of our common country
at heart; who is working for the great
mass Of American humanity; who be-
lieves in the principle of the"greatest
good to the greatest number" is will
ing to afliliate with any party, under
any name whatsoever, to accomplish
that result. But he is unwilling to
connect himself with any party, even
should it masquerade under the name
of Peoples party, which will fall
short of that accomplishment. An
effort Is being made to organize an
entirely new party from what now
exists, to bring about this union. If
such new party was necessary ad-
junct to success, we would say "All
hail" But we.do not think new
name is at all necessary; nor is it good
politics for the peoples party to 1sac-
rifice whatever progress has been
made during the past six or eight
years. We know it patriotic to as
sert that the party name makes no
difference. Granting that to be true,
what objection can there be, or what
better name can be invented than
that of the Peoples Party? What
other name than this can get nearer
to the hearts Of the people?.
We certainly wish the very best Ie'
suits may accrue from the bimetalliC
conference that meets in Albany next
month. We hope that wise counsel
may prevail and that united front
may be presented at our next election
to that arch enemy Of humanity, Of
prosperity and human liberty, the
gold standard may be presented.
Butas we see the signs of the times,
temper of the people, etc, it will have
to be accomplished under the folds of
the peoples party banner. The peo-
pies party will concede much for the
sake of union and harmony, but, in
our opinion, it will refuse to abandon
its party name and organization. Be.
fore another campaign is fought, new
managers in county and state will be
selected. Join our ranks and assist
in selecting those managers and man,
ing our candidates. This you can do
without humiliating yourselves in the
least. This is the only road to success
in the state campaign Of 1868, or the
national campaign of 1900. The speo.
pies party will do much for union;
but when it has made its platform
broad enough upon (which you can
stand, it has gone as far as it consist
emily can go.

Mr. Charles Fulton is said to have

and sound judgment,-qualities es-
sential to political leadership and sue

call him. and would advise him not to
announce beforehand, with drums
beating and flags flying, what he is
going to do with the enemy, before
he has captured them. What, how

Fulton has undertaken the job OF
furnishing politically the opponents OF
Mr.. Mitchell, and his success in this
direction is to be measured by his own
political ACHIEVEMENTS; he had better
drop that job at once, while he has
some credit left, and better cause is

The grand victory of the modern
Democracy at Chicago over the gold
standard hosts, and the ceaseless
campaigns of the Populists for reform
that we must yet have, prevents the
expectation that either will desert
and 90 TO the other. They must
unite against common enemy.
Nominating conventions called in
the heat of campaign are unfit to
make a declaration Of principles. Cool
headed common sense away from the

packed committees or enunciated

Fusion is a political deal without
principle. Some states have laws
against 1t. There is an overwhelming
desire among the plain people for a
primary union of the silvera and reform
forces all over the state. If either
party is afraid to trust the people the
people should be afraid to trust that
party.

100000 to 100000 gallons Of water at the
old works TO fall back upon in case Of an
emergency. Mayor Medium said that II
the water commission IS unable to make
the expenditure from its budget that he
had no doubt council would make an APP
preparation for the purpose.
That the present water supply is sur
ieient for ordinary purposes, waste in
cluded, was demonstrated during the stay
of the party at the works. At 10 O'Clock the
indicator showed seven feet of water in
the wet we'll BY 1870 o'clock the water
had risen to 81 feet and was almost over
flowing into the drain leading TO Musgrove
creek. The pumps were barely moving, the
big wheels pausing slightly on every revo-
luton. 1t is a common thing for the wet
well to overflow into the creek at night,
when the flow from the conduit exceeds
the amount being pumped into the city.
Mr. Johnston will make a thorough in
spection of the works this morning and
will report the results Of his inspection at
meeting of the water commission this
afternoon.

President A. r. DAILY of the Bruton and

on business. When seen at the De Soto
hotel last night by a representative of
the Morning News he said that Engineer
Connolly, who went over the line of the
new road, had made a report upon his
work. but that nothing definite had been
done with regard to it yet
There are two or three routes, Mr.. DAILY
says, by which the line might be ex-
tended, but the officers of the company
have reached no decision as yet with re-
gard to what they will do. He is of the
opinion, however that the line will be
built directly from Bruton to Pineora. ON
the Central, as originally contemplated
as the company owns all of the right-of-
way over this route, and has a good deal
of it already graded
President DAILY said there is no truth
in the report that the company will build
on to a connection with the Central in
the other direction. That matter, he
says, has never been discussed, and moth
ing whatever has been done with regard
