A prominent man who followed
John II. Mitchell out of the repub-
ican party last year on the silver
question, but, unlike him, was con-
sistent enough to stay out, related
his silver experience to us the other
day. Said he: II was always a
staunch republican, and I had un-
bounded faith in the judgment of
Senator Mitchell. So without seek
ing very deeply for reasons, | fol-
lowed what he said in his speeches,
and felt confident he knew what he
was about. [ became a free silver
16 to l, and believed I was right.
In the state election in June '96 we
talked it freely as good enough re-
publicanism, because all of our del
egation in congress were republl-
cans, and all of them but one were
pronounced free silver men. When
the national convention met, adopt
ed the gold standard and repudi-
ated silver, I thoguht of course they
were wrong and that Wall street
had controlled the convention, but
l firmly believed that our free silver
delegation in congress with Mitchell
at their head, would stick to theil
text and that Oregon would be thus
carried for free silver. You can i'm
agine how bitterly I felt towards
them when they went square back
on this record and left me in the
populist camp. Now I am out o.
politics forever. I see that free sill
yer is a humbug and I seem to have
lost faith in everybody"

The CIOndyke.

Late news from Alaska is not
cheerful, nor encouraging for those
WHO want to rush there at once,
and the outlook for those who have
gone there late is not very hopeful.
Miners and others who are &C
quainted with the situation in the
interior, are coming down to the
coast before the streams and lakes
are frozen over, when it will be next
to impossible to get provisions in
there. The stock of provisions now
on hand there they fear will not be
sufficient to feed those already
there, and starvation seems staring
them in the face. There seems to
be no doubt but that misery, hard
ship, and even death is in store foI
many of those who ventured over
the trail to the Clondyke so late in
the season. And still vessels are
taking up hundreds of passengers
every trip. Warnings are useless
to the man who has once acquired
the craze for gold; his Judgment is
paralyzed, and they will continue tc
go even though they walk over the
corpsese of those who have gone
before.

San francisco, Sept. THE Bull
leSin has a letter from Charles
Haines, dated Dawson City, July
Is. Mr.. Haines is a we'll known
newspaper writer, and his letter is
the first written by trained news
paper man to come out of the Klon-
dixie gold regions. He says:
"The rich diggings have been
comparatively idle during the sum-
mer, although the output from Ell
dorado and Bonanza creeks was
enormous, and there is plenty of
gold in sight. There is every pros
pect of an immense output of gold
from the district next spring. The
total output this season as near as
/ eau judge is, about 81 100000,
but very little ground has been
worked and the dumps will, like
some Of the tailings of old California
placers, pan out thousands of dol
lars when worked with improved
machinery. The placers are the
most puzzling and deceiving I have
ever seen. Imagine man working
on good color and finding the
ground worth only a few dollars per
day, and then turning to a waste of
mud and moss, with no surface in
dications, and unearthing bonan-
"a. That is the situation here and
all over Alaska.
Dawson is merely a collection OF
log huts, saloons, and a mass of
tents, about 600 in number. When
the long nights come and the glass
goes down to IS degrees below zero,
there will be intense suffering here,
and [ shudder to think of the re-
suits. Provisions are going to be
very scarce, and there is very little
doubt that the entire town will have
to 60. on short rations during the
winter, and that scurvy will .be
rampant. The man who comes
here to mine does so at the expense
of health and happiness, and it is
with him a question of making a
fortune quickly or taking chances
with death"

Farmers need not be alarmed be-
cause wheat goes up. one day and
down the next in the Eastern
boards of trade. They don't see
wheat there; it is nothing but gam
bling in wheat for future delivery,
and has little to do with present
prices. The actual condition of the
wheat market is, that the worlds
crop is short, and this country is
the only place on earth where they
will have a surplus.

The democrats of Pennsylvania
had a hot time at their convention
lately. The free silver wing carried
everything their way. They ousted
Mr.. Harrity as member of the
national committee and endorsed
free silver and the Chicago pla form,
and congratulated "W. J. Bryan for
his glorious championship of a
righteous cause There is no use
in talking otherwise, the democratic
name will stick to the Chicago
platform, and popnlism will finally
founder in there to stay.

The outlook for Oregon products
continues brilliant. Wheat is stead
lily moving up, and the demand for
it is sharp. Wool, hides, leather,
hops, hay, beans, potatoes, provis-
ions, dried fruit, livestock, and, in
fact, almost all the products of the
farm, are selling well at living
prices. This has led to an improved
feeling in country real estate.-Ru-

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Governor Rogers, the populist
governor of the state of Washington
says that mortgages on farms will
not be paid off, and that when a
mortgage is once placed on a farm it
sticks there until ii takes the farm.
Now, with due respect to the intel
ligence that the governor should
have, we want to say for our county
that they are being paid off here
>rapidly; SO fast that money loanars
don't know what to do with the
money that is now accumulating on
their hands.
It is significant, when two such
widely separated agencies as the
Orange Judd syndicate of American
! agricultural papers and the Hun
garian ministry Of agriculture agree
in reporting European deficits, not
only in wheat, but in rye, barley,
and oats, greater than have been
known before since the famine year
of 1891. If these reports shall prove
true, this is likely to be the post
profitable season American agricul-
ture has ever known. The wheat
crop is not SO large as in 1891, but
it probably is lar ge enough to sup
ply all the de mand for wheateo
bread at the high prices that will
rule this year.--Oregonian.
To serve ones country in any ca
pacity is unquestionably an honor
able thing; but to be persistent
and everlasting Office hunter is not
an honorable thing, nor are their
methods usually honorable. In
this state as in every other state in
the Union, there are hundreds Of
men who have no other occupation
but office hunting. In the selection
of men who have the distribution
of state or federal patronage, fitness
is entirely lost sight Of A mar
must be elected with whom the
office hunters have a pull. More
than once in this state a good mar
has been defeated and an inferior
one elected because the latter coulC
be counted on to stand in with tht
boys. The scramble which has
been going on in Portland for q
couple of weeks past, is, we believe
without precedent in this state, ant
for the credit of the republican par
ty it is hoped that it may be unique
in the party history. The best mer
to fill these Offices and, with few ex
ceptions, the most deserving, ar
never heard of, but the persisten
pusher is always on hand, and tn
rule is that the best men are no
always nor often appointed. 1t i
utterly useless and foolish to tall
about it though, for there is onl,
one means to get rid of the chroni
Office seeker, it is provided by ma
ture>>and is called death. Let u
hope that before a new crop ma
lures civil service or some other eff
fective procedure may kill the III
dustry for good.

The Body of Missing Mrs.
Miller Recovered Yes
terday.
EVIDENTLY IT WAS SUICIDE.
Discovery Made Up Academy Creek, At
Three Prongs-No Inquest Held.
Had Threatened.

The search for missing Mrs. Miller
came to an abrupt end yesterday morn
ing, when the news was rapidly circu-
lated that the body had been found in
the river.
AT the moOring- place of the steamer
Pope Catlin crowd gathered to see
the mortal remains of the unfortunate
woman.
The body was found by James Har-
ris and his two sons. They were out
fishing, and at that portion of Aoad-
envy creek designated by the name
Three Prongs," they saw the body of
a woman lying on mud bank. They
made closer inspection. The body
was we'll preserved, and the only
marked popularity was a bandage
tied around the head and hiding the
eyes. Mrs. Miller had evidently blind
folded herself and walked into the
river, the blindfolding being a pre-
caution to prevent any weakening of
her suicidal purpose.
The body was floated to the Pope
CatlIn's wharf, and Coroner jennings
was sent for. He deemed an inquest
unnecessary. Undertaken Moore pre-
pared the body for burial.
The suicide theory was evidently
the correct one, Mrs. Miller having
several times recently threatened to
take her life.
The funeral occurred yesterday af-
ternoOn at o'clock from the residence.
Mr.. Will Miller, the grief-strfcken
son, has the sincere sympathy of the
community.
