Nine Kinds of Money,

Nine different kinds of circulating
medium-just think of it-gold, silver,
nickel, copper, legal tenders, national
bank notes, gold certificates, silver GER
tificates, treasury notes, and all called
money, about 81, 200, 600, 900 Of which
relies on the faith and credit of the
government for sustenance and rests
on the vacillating. sensitive business
disturber and breeder of panics, turmoil
and strife-yiz, the gold reserve, which
varies more or less from day to day and
runs up and down the scale from $40,-
900, 600 to $3.50, 900, 900, the minimum
being little more than 3 per cent Of
the liabilities and the maximum about
IL per cent thereof! Can any sane man
convince himself that this is a safe con-
dition of affairs, and can be maintained
indefinitely?
Owing to certain conditions prevail
ing at this time, we are for the time
being lulled into feeling of false se-
curity and our efforts to adjust the
finances of the government seem prac-
tically abandoned. Present conditions
cannot be expected to continue in
definitely.
A very slight increase in imports or
sales of our securities by foreigners
would largely increase the flow Of
gold in that direction, and, as usual,
the unprotected government vaults
would be called upon to supply it. Then
we will have repetition of the endless
chain farce, further issues of bonds,
business conditions seriously disturbed
and an abundance of material for the
enemies Of sound finance.
Therefore, why not take the matter
up without delay and dispose Of it in a
manner that will forever eliminate from
politics the questions that were so Bit
terly contested during the last cam
paign, and not wait until we are forced
to do so. In times Of ease prepare for
stringency, and then there will be no
stringency. William G. Little Of st.

Electric BitterS.

Electric Bitters is n medicine suited
for any season but perhaps more gen
orally needed when the languid, ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of u tonic and alternative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the malarial poi
son. Headache, Indigestion, Con-
sumption, Dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters. Fifty cents and Sl.o0 per

Did you ever notice how cheer

we heard a summer or two ago at
Yaquina Bay. In a confding
moment we believed the honery
devil that rented abbreviated raj
ment when he told us the water
was fine" and in company with
fifty or sixty other idiots took a

No greater farce was ever en-
acted in Washington than the i'm
prisonment of Chapman, the sugar
broker, which was begun this week.
He is supposed to be in prison as a
punishment, but there is mighty
little punishment about it. He has
a costly fitted mp bedroom and an
office adjoining; his meals are pre-
pared at swell hotel, and has a
waiter from that hotel detailed TO
wait upon him. He receives
callers and entertains them all the
time, and can do about anything
he could do in a hotel except to
leave Jail. This is an injurious
farce, too, because it increases the
belief, already too prevalent, that
there is one justice for the wealthy
and quite another for the poor
Exchange.

For nerve, gall, and downright
shamliness, the N. w. Aver news
paper directory people surely take
the prize. They send out blank
to newspapers asking that.a. circu-
lation statement be made to them.
They frankly state that if the cir
culation reports seem too high thai
they will be reduced by the editor
OF the annual. Or in other words
they will give you a circulatioii
report of whatever they wish 10, nos
matter what you say about it.
The thought naturally occurs to,
the publisher that if the editor of
the annual is competent 10 give an
honest rating why bother the pub
Usher at all. Or if man by reason
of intelligence, ability and rust
ling" makes paper that is superior
to his competitors and thus secures
a greater circulation, it all goes for
naught with these wiseacres that
edit the annual three thousand
miles away, and they give the
paper whatever rating they wish to
give it. Iti, species ofswindling,
and it is carried to such extremes
that we believe that the law is
broken in many instances.

DECORATION DAY
Was Duly Observed in Toledo Last
rlOnday.

post OF this place decided to hold
decoration services on Monday the
3Ist. Memorial day was observed
by the G. A. R. post and w. r. C.
OF this place, by meeting at their
headquarters on Sunday morning
and marching in a body TO the
court house where religious services
were held, the memorial sermon
being preached by Rev. Tonkins,

for text the following: "What
mean ye by this day." "and delivered
very able sermon from it.
On Monday at O'Clock the
members of the G. A. R. post and
w. R. c. again assembled at their
headquarters and in company with
several visiting comrades, headed a
large delegation that marched out
to the cemetery to decorate the
graves. Arriving there the beauti-
tul ritualistic service of the Grand
Army was rendered. The deposi-
ting OF the flowers by the old COM
rades upon the graves in memory
of their comrades who have an
swered to the last bugle call, and
the decorating of The graves of the
unknown dead by the ladies of the
Relief corps and the children were
very beautiful and touching cere-
monies. These ceremonies were
interspersed with music by the fife
and drum and singing.
After the ceremonies by the Post
and Corps recitation was rendered
by Bert Ewing. The ceremonies
were then adjourned till two o'clock
to meet at the court house. At
that time the Post and Corps again
assembled at their headquarters
and marched to the court house,
where the following program was
rendered:
Music by the Toledo band.
Prayer, by Rev. Ellsworth.
Song, by the choir.
Recitation, by Miss Eva Ewing.
Solo, 1.-The Soldier Boy OF Gettys-
burg" by J. H. Ross.
Recitation, by Jonathan Butler.
Solo, by H. Denlinger, Jr.
Recitation, by Alberta Hobart.
Grafton, by Rev. c. R. Ellsworth.
Music, by the Toledo Band.
The program was interesting and
well rendered. The address by
Rev. Ellsworth was only a brief
one, but was earnestly delivered
and was listened to with profound
attention.

pated in the exercises of the day:

ing" had he chosen to do SO. Falling
to do that he might have referred to
the decision of the district court in
the custer case Of Peacock vs.. RaIcom
which declares that Peacock was
elected and entitled to all the fran
chises. salary and emolumentS of the
office of county superintendent for
the term of two years beginning on
the 18th day of January, 1897. This
is also the status of Mr.. Barclay and
the county printer by reason of Bar
clay's action in the election of the
later.
Mr. HutZel might have referred the
board to the recently decided Smart
Riggs contest caSe-the facts of which
are as follows: Smart and Riggs were
opposing candidates for the Office of
district judge. The republican was
declared elected. The fusion candi-
date contested the election before the
state senate and was successful. The
salary up TO this time was claimed
by the republican or de facto officer
who presented his voucher for the

Jure also presented Il voucher cover

claim was allowed by State Auditor
Morris backed by Attorney General
Boyle, regardless of the date of the
senate decision. How does this COM
pare with the advice of Attorney
General HutZel who attempts to draw
the line at March 10, in the case of
the superintendent and commissioner
and practically decides that the coun-
ty has had no official paper on either
side of that date.
The opinion of the county attorney
when boiled down is simply this: He
found no law or decisions that would
answer the questions as he and his
friends would like to have them an
Swered and as they could not collect
the salaries in question a dog in the

vice directly contrary to the decision
OF the court which he cites but does

ed to miSlead the commissioners and |
retard the payment of tire salaries to
the persons rightfully entitled to
them.
An attorney who has any pride in |
his profession would rather be right |
and finally sustained by the courts |
than to gain some temporary, parti- |
san advantage. Our commissioners |
have the satisfaction of knowing that |
their action in this matter is in ac-
