JAPAN's GOLD STANDARD.

~ W Abli htNiJAANii osAJ
The secretary OF the treasury is in
receipt Of information from the
United States minister at Toxic,
Japan, 10 the effect that during the
present session OF the japanese diet
a coinage bill will be presented for
the consideration of that body, which
will, IL is supposed, change the stand
ard OF value IN Japan from sllyes to
gold. IL is proposed to fix the gov
ernment ratio between the two metals
at 32 tol. The unit value will be a
gold yen, which will be one-half the
weight and value OF the old japanese
gold yen, which is Of the same weight
and fneness as the gold dollar OF the
United States. The proposed unit of
value will. therefore, be the exact
equivalent OF so cents In United
States money and approximately OF
the same value as the present unit OF
value in Japan, the silver yen, which,
at the current rate OF exchange, is
worth about 81 cents in United States
money. 1t is proposed that the
smaller coin minted shall be 5-yen
peice. The further coinage Of silver
will be limited to subsidiary coins.
The silver yen now in circulation will
be maintained at par with the gold
yen by the government being prepared
TO redeem them IN gold whenever
called upon to do so.
In this connection the following
statement is made at the treasury de-
partment.
"lt is important TO note that there
are about lI0, ZOO, 900 Of japanese silver
yen in circulation, OF which 1t is esti-
mated that about 20 100000 are in cir
culation as money in China, and the
English, French and other colonies
and settlements in the east. Should
the ratio between gold and silver be-
come greater than l TO 30, the tend
ency would seem to be TO drive the
outstanding silver coin back TO Japan
for redemption, The press reports
considerable dissatisfaction among
the commercial and manufacturing
classes with the proposed change OF
standard, and IT is reported that the
cotton spinners' association has pre-
pared protest against IL 10 the pre-
sent diet Those interested in manu-
factures In Japan are at present very
prosperous and satisfied with the re-
turns their investments are bringing.
They are, naturally, as class, not
disposed To view favorably proposed
change, the effects OF which upon
their interest they have no means of
determining beforehand. IL is gener-
ally believed, however, that the gov
ernmeut bin viii, In perhaps modi.
fled form, become law. IL is sup
posed that the principal object the
government has In view in bringing
about the change is to enable IL,
should measures become necessary or
expedlent, TO negotiate loan in
Europe on better terms than
would be poSSible, as tney believe, II
Japan remained on silver basis
The information given above came
o. the treasury department saturday,
but the Associated Press cable dis
patches have contained news later
than that OF the department, and
stated the bill has passed through
both houses aud been sent 10 the en-
peror for approval,

.aorr THE SOLDIERS.

| Il aln't MUCH vi q hiAiNS
though 1 did belong to a squad OF Vne
militia just long enough TO learn l"
walk straight. But l do Wisn we
could get some of their methods in'o
the heads of our people in the to"ns'
and some of their good order onto our
farms and even into our puoiIc
schools. The men are all re5pecUiui
to each other. their clothes are all
neat. their shses brushed, no one Is
allowed to spit on the floors or SIDE
walks. and no one smokes a pipe OF
cigar except in the open aiF ana OH
duty. The reservation has 700 acres
and is little city by itself. The Oh
fcers live in neat single and double
cottages. The men have taken one
OF the old fort buildings, built oy
General Harney in 1s49, the timoers
for which came around the Horn, and
made a very nice officers club room OF
it. There are twenty miles OF tine
Rrayelled roads as smooth almost as
cement walk.
1 wish the road supervisors OF our
county could see these roads. They
are graded with rounding surface,
are 25 feet wide, and covered with fine
gravel. or course this makes a smooth
rounding surface like whaleback
and no water will stand on such
road. This is a great drawback be-
cause if no water will stand, the
wheels won't cut gullies,and the roads
are good all winter; and horses don't
mire down and harness break and
wagons go to pieces like on bad roads,
aud tais makes less business for black
smiths and wagon makers and sad
dlers and printers, ETC., to say Moth
ing about reducing profanity
about one hundred per cent. An ln-
dian feels like white man on theSe
roads and a white man feels like an
angel spinning along on gentle curves
and sand-papered surfaces. We could
spare the sand-paper if we could get
onto their curves.
But if we had the fine roads we'd
need their military discipline to take
care Of them. / have neighbor who
would hitch four cayuses onto mar
row tired wagon and put on two cords
of green woOd and in one week of rainy
weather he'd cut those roads all to
pieces. He don't pay any taxes either.
They haul big loads Of wood over the
roads here with four big army mnles
but they have wide tires-nOt on the
mules but on the wagon wheels. The
first man that would drive a team
over those roads so as to cut them up
would be clapped into the guardhouse.
But in our town they'd elect him road
supervisor like as not. We need lit
tie military discipline injected tight
into home affairs and we ought to be-
gin in the public schools where chill
dren should be taught to walk straight,
bow to their superiors, not chew gum
black their shoes and brush their
clothes and hair and teeth.

FROM PORTLAND.

PoRTLAND, April LII spent a week
10 visiting friends in East Portland
and did not get to see much Of the
city. 1 spent one afternoon in the
Wolf & Zwicker Iron works, where
they have the contract 70 build two,
torpedo vessels for the government.
They are to be about $50 feet long
and are built round, like a barrel, with
kind OF whaleback deck, 20 run
mostly below water like mudhen.
The whole thing is to be covered with
steel only three-sixteenths OF an inch
thick. A rife ball would go through
that, but these torpedo boats are to
90 through the water at night and
carry few dynamite cartridges that
will blow up a man-of-war before it is
aware Of IT, and slip away again be-
fore shot can be fired from the big
guns. The engines and everything
are to be made here in East Portland.
They are also making two lighthouse
boats at this Iron works. The masts
and all are Of steel. About hundred
men are at work here, mostly foreign
ers. There were a few Americans
bossing them. 1t was 10 these works
that the Bull Run waterworks were
put together.
AT THE HOTELS.
I walked around one hotel, on the
ont side. It costs s4.oO a day inside
IL you sleep on cot, and some OF the
rooms / was told cost $40 a day.
When we get the improved farming
to going around Turner, and the
agricultural college introduces rails
ing peacocks and mushrooms, and Mrs.
Lord gets the fax crop to paying big,
I may come here. But didn't look
inside. l was afraid they might
charge me. l went to the Hoiton
house where and another fellow got
room the last time was here to a
veation for 50 cents But l found
IL closed up. The owner of the build
ing sat in the office watching few
palm trees grow and / suppose will
supply the guests with fans next sum-
mer when business gets good again.
AS heard the Perkins was going to
be sold out under mortgage L went
TO the imperial. This hotel Is only a
block from the Oreg0nian building
and block from Mr.. Corbett's art
gallery in the Portland library build
ing. Invent into it but as the books
are only for the members and 1t costs
Is cents to see the statuary L did not
90. The door-keeper said the average
number of visitors was two or three
daily and on free days 20 to 30. 1t is
beautiful building Of marble and
granite.
SOME EXPERIENCES.
| didn't go into the lower part OF
the city very much. 1t seems to be
all lower part between Chinatown and
the river. Police are very scarce and
the streets are not swept much.

the streets are not swept much.
They say Pennoyer is making a great
record of economy. Someo OF the streets
are as bad or worse than anything l
ever saw in Salem or Aumsville.
Down near the river several young
women acted as though they
were acquainted with me or
wanted to be and when l
asked the proprietor OF Jew cigar
store he said 1t was way they had.
They certainly were most polite and
approachable TO man from the
country whom they had never seeu
before. AT the hotel did not want
TO be green about the bill of fare as it
was in several different languages
did not know, SO for breakfast told
him just TO bring me good breakfast
and he did IL. At noon l told him
TO bring me good dinner, but he
said they served lunch then. AT night
told him 70 bring me some supper,
but he laughed and said that was
dinner. Well, he brought 1t all right
aud l knew what the hngerbowl was
for II was raised in the hills. The
waiter used TO be at the Willamette
at Salem and said fellow came in
one day TO get married and they all
went TO lunch afterwards, witnesses
and minister. The minister he put
sugar in his iinRerbowl because there
was little piece Of lemon and geran-
ium floating in 1t, and the two Wit
nesses fixed theirs up TOO, aud slipped
It with a spoon but the bride and
groom didn't; they caught on in time
as all the walters were laughing.
II the weather don't settle aud turn
warm shall not 90 back home for
week yet, aud may write you another
letter from here. l saw great deal
at Vancouver and must tell YOU some
more.

THE LEASE

The Charloale Observer says
"The Observers position upon this
is perfectly we'll defined, and
was reiterated no longer ago than
week before last. Wrile the matter
was pending and after it was accom-
plishcd We made a respectful pro-
test. The lease was made, however,
by a beard of directors composed OF
able aud representative business men
acting in what they undoubtedly
conceived TO be the States best IN.
terest, and it is a significant fact that
their action met the unanimous and
unqualified endorsement of the hold
era of the private stock. Those
having the largest aud mos, direct
interest being entirely satisfied with
the bargain, the Observer felt that II
and all Others having eacn the inter
es, of an ordinary citizen, and ne
more, could afford to be content
and discussion Of the question II
these columns came 10 an end. w
felt then and we feel now that tn
matter had better be lett where !
