THE Louisville Courier-Journal
of last Wednesday, in long, la
bored editorial, says; 1.-The free
and independent coinage of silver at
the ratio of IS to 1, or any other ra-
ito, is as dead as the institution of
African slavery" Then why does
not Col. Watterson give his atten-
ton to live issues? Why, nearly
every day, does he devote column
or more of his valuable editorial
space, to this dead subject?

THE double strength of the coal
barons is in the starving process
and trial by injunction. They have
not only enjoined the strikers from
marching and singing near the
mines, but now another hireling
Judge has enjoined preacher from
holding divine services. OF course
these iniunctions will not stand the
test of the courts, but it shows the
danger of the injunction process
when corruptly used.

Philosophy at the Zoo.

Two youth looked into a cage of
monkeys.
Through their nostrils putfs of
smoke came forth at regular in
tervals from white-wrapped cigar
cites.
Their heads were nicely balanced
by wealth of hair parted exactly
in the middle.
Light bamboo canes grasped
firmly in the middle showed they
were full grown men.
See" said one, what we have
descended FROM"
And they looked into the cage of
monkeys and laughed.

AT Richmond, Va, a few days
since, a mob lynched white man
charged with assaulting a young
lady. The next day it was clearly
proven that he was innocent and alb
solutely ignorant of the offense, and
the leaders of the mob were of
course very penitent over their "mis-
take" Now if the law would hang
every man connected with that mob,
there would be fewer such mistakes
in the future. Mob law is murder at
best, but the most terrible part of it
is that a large per cent of the men
hung by mobs, are innocent, and
are not unfrequently better citizens
than those who hang them.

NEARLY every city and town in
Alabama has within the past twenty
four hours quarantined against
Ocean Springs, New Orleans and
other yellow-fever infected districts,
and most of them are enforcing their
guarantees at the point of shot
guns. Persons from anywhere near
the infected places are hustled
through the State without being per-
mitted to leave the cars. A large
number of North Alabama people
who have been summering at Ocean
Springs and other Gulf points are
shut off by the quarantine and can
not get away to go anywhere, be-
cause all trains are now running
past those points without stopping.

OUR North Columbia correspond
ent in his items last week stated
that the new grocery starting there
would have saloon attachment.
Our correspondent had been mis-
informed, and in his notes this
week with pleasure" makes the
correction. The time has passed
when any good community will give
any sort of welcome to saloon. In
fact, it is the opinion of some good
lawyers that where any man invades
a new territory and starts drink
ing dive, adjoining property owners
may recover damages for injury to
their property. Public opinion is
fast outlawing the saloon, and of
course the law makers will soon or
late follow public opinion.

Now your Uncle Josiah is trying
to hedge some more. Last week he
said that, just in order to be regular,
he voted for Bryan. The Bryan
men didn't believe him, and his Nc
Kinley cohorts didn't like the in
formation little bit. So this week
he says that he will never again
vote for the principles contained in
the Chicago platform. Good! Now
if Josiah will only keep his last
promise, and by no sheepish pre-
tense ever hereafter attempt to
enter the Democratic fold, we move
that his past offenses be all forgiven
him.

ONE of the ludicrous features of
these piping times of peace" is to
hear men who call themselves
Democrats, but who never did vote
for Bryan, swear that they never
will. What if they never do! They
are so pitifully few-in this neck of
the woods at least-that they never
will be missed. All we ask of them
is that if they do not intend to sup
port Democratic nominees, they
should stay out of Democratic pri-
maries.

PERUVIAN FINANCES
National Debt Paid But the Country
Is Bankrupt

NEW YORK, Sept 2O.-A dispatch
from Lima, Peru, to the Herald says:
The Chamber of Deputies has agreed 10
appoint a special commission Of five
supporters Of the government and five of
the opposition with full authority from
the government to inquire into the fail
ure Of the Peruvian Corporation to fui.
fill it's obligations.
A distinguished lawyer. DR.. Alexandra
Arenas, and the Minister Of Finance will
be consulting counsel Of the commits
sion.
The Peruvian Corporation, Limited,
was formed eight years ago and took
upon itself Peru's national debt Of forty
million pounds in return for control of
the railways Of Peru and the big guano
deposits, which had not passed into the
hands of Chile.
In addition, the Peruvian government
undertook to pay to the corporation an
annual subsidy of 80, 000, 900 pounds from
customs receipts with the understand
ing that the corporation should con-
struct a certain mileage Of new rail-
ways. AS this obligation remained un-
fulfilled the government stopped the
annuity. The contract between Peru,
the corporation and the Peruvian bond
holders, released Peru form her foreign
debts therefore. When the corporation,
owing to decreased railroad receipts,
and the practical failure Of the guano
deposits, found itself unable to meet its
obligations, Peru was free Of her ma
tional debt, though none Of the railroads
provided for had been constructed.

SOMEWHAT PREVIOUS
Special Patrolman Was Too Handy
With His Gun

Special Patrolman Gus Bayer, who
shot man Sunday morning for refusing
TO halt when called upon, was severely
censured around police headquarters
yesterday. The affair occurred on Ala
media street. The patrolman saw a man
carrying a pair of whiffletrees and sup
posing that he had stolen them called
him to STOP. The order was disregarded
and Bayer fired twice. One bullet took
effect in the thigh. The man was
brought to the police station and proved
to be a Frenchman by the name Of Pierre
Bertrand. He lives on Douglas street
near Center.
Yesterday afternoon Bertrand's wife
called for her husband in hack When
he came out Of the receiving hospital
supported by two policemen Bertrand
was seen by a reporter. He does not
understand a word Of English. The
Frenchman vigorously denied that he
was thief. He said: II was going to
work early the other morning and wait
ed to get bottle of wine to take along.

wear a uniform and 1 did not know he

Bertrand had been charged with
petit larceny and his wife put up $50
for his appearance for trial. A neigh

GRIST MILL BURNED
Roller Mills at Pendleton, Or, Totally
Destroyed


PENDLETON, Or, Sept. 20.-The
Pendleton roller mills, 500 barrels capac-
ity, owned by w. S. Byers, were destroy
ed by fire this morning. Loss 5000, 900.
The fire Is supposed to have started in a
small room in the first story in the south
end of the building. The fire spread
rapidly, and when the Fire Department
responded the building was a mass Of
flames and nothing could be done ex-
cept to save adjoining property At one
time the $50, 900 Court House on the block
opposite was smoking, but the mill walls
fell in and the f1remen were able to save
the Court House. The contents Of a
stone warehouse near the mill were
greatly damaged and almost ruined. A
corrugated iron warehouse was totally
destroyed. In the mill elevator $4,000
bushels of wheat were burned, and in the
stone warehouse 25,000 bushels of wheat
and 1000 barrels of flour. There was no
insurance save $4,000 on the mill build
ing and machinery. The stone ware
house was supposed to be fireproof, but
the intense heat fired the contents. The
fire Is supposed to be due to spontaneous
combustion.
