The Express, with childish glee, pub

Oregon Republicans last month won a
victory. Now will it publish the financial

won victory in 1885, and tell its readers

change in Republican sentiment on this
coast? The Express approved of the

Some Of our alarmed Republican con-
temporaries affect to regard the coalition
of parties for a common purpose In the
nature of crime. They ait least refuse
to recognize 1t as legitimate, and are
prone to question the political morality
Of all who countenance 1t. When resort
ed to by their own party in the south, as
it was for a dozen years, the morality of
it was not questioned. Populists are
patriots when engaged in pulling Repub-
lican chestnuts out of the fire.

No bimetallist of distinction, in Europe
or America, ever claimed that the price of
wheat was affected by the price Of sill
yer, except when the latter enjoyed equal
privileges at the minis and was full legal
tender in the payment of all debts, pub
lie and private. Prior to 1873, and for
five hundred years, wheat went up or
down as silver appreciated or deprecated.
This is not mere assertion. 1t is history.
and Mulhall is authority. If the Ex-
press had amy regard for the truth, it
would not repeat the silly statement that
bimetallists have ever made a claim
which cannot be verified by the record.

THE CANAL HALF BUILT

An important amendment to the sundry
civil bill, just passed by the senate, pro-
vides for commission to settle the in
debtedness of the government growing
out of the assistance in the construction
of the Pacific railways, and providing fur
Their that "the funds shall be applied to
the construction of ship canal through
Nicaragua"
If this amendment, as seems likely, COM
templates the employment of the funds
already received from the sales Of the
Pacific roads. as we'll as the proceeds of
sales deferred, the work of building the
canal will at least not be delayed for
want of the wherewithal.
The adoption of the amendment is sig
nificant in that it commits the senate
to the sanction of the construction of
the work by the government, upon lines
hereafter to be defined.
1t will doubtless have the added effec.
Of fastening a report by the committee
which has long had charge of the matter
as we'll as the special committee lately
raised by senate resolution to examine
into the status of affairs in Nicaragua
and the relation to it of the Maritime
Canal company.
Congress Is making history very fast.
Dirt may be flying on the big ditch before
long. without waiting for the conclusion
of the war. More than half the expense
Of building 1t, according to the latest
estimate, has been paid into the treasury,
although the amount appears to the credit
Of the general account. The adoption of
the Morgan amendment will doubtless
have the effect of segregating 1t.

THE COCONINO SUN.

The house committee on labor. after slightly amending the GrosvenOr bill for the arbitration of disputes between railroads and their employees, reported the bill favorably. As the measure now stands the commissioner of labor and the chairman of the interstate com merce commission are to constitute board of cOnciliation in controversies as to wages. hours of labor or employ ment conditions, the duty of which shall be to seek to bring about an amicable settlement. When that can not be done. the arbitration of the dis pute by board of three persons. one named by each side and the third by these two, is provided for, this board to begin hearings within five days from the selection of the third arbitrator and to file its report within twenty days. Similar bills have twice passed the house in other congresses, never in time to get acted upon by the senate.

A bill for the regulation of marriage has been introduced into the Ohio leg islature. It provides for state board of three examiners. to be appointed by the governor, and board in each county. appointed by the probate court. Persons making application for mar riage license will be required to sub init to physical and mental examina- tion by the board of the county in which they live. The examination will touch the following subjects: Strong tendency of the applicants to hereditary insanity, habitual drunkenness. crim- inal record, tendency toward crime. or liability to inherit criminal inclina- tion, imbecility, mental or physical constitutional diseases that might be transmitted to the progeny, consump- tlon, blood diseases. etc. The presence of any of these diseases, or the discov- cry of hereditary liability to them. will bar the applicant from the right to marry. This will give the doctors a chance to organize marriage trust.

BELT Is ALL RIGHT.

Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Belt, Nov. 3.-As election day draws
near and the scheme and subterfuges Of
the pcpullst and the two republican
parties comes to be more clearly recog-
nized and understood by the people. the
assurance of an overwhelming demo-
cratic majority in this camp grows n

whole state. there are practically but
two parties In the ield-the democratic
party. which stands firmly for silver,
and the republican party. which just az
firmly advocates goidbueism. The Lead
ers OF the populist and the so-called sill
yer republican, parties, realizing that
they cannot hope to elect a single cam
didate, have displayed a willingness to
barter away the votes OF their followers
for a single piece OF Mark Hanna's yell
low money They are especially inter-
ested in the Belt vote. Inc judging by
their actions and the utterances they
make they look upon the vote OF this
camp as a sort of commodity which
they are privileged TO trade way or
sell to the highest bidder. on the sth
day Of this month they will know how
fruitless have been their unholy efforts.
The vote of this camp will be for the
straight democratic ticket. the only free
silver ticket in the field. The rank and
file OF the voters here. whatever may
be their views upon other issues em-
braced in the campaign. are for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and they
will support only men who stand
squarely upon that platform.
