THE ELECTIONS TUESDAY

In forty two states elections will
be held and what will be the result
A congress Is 20 be chosen. What will

question win the administration
be voted up or dcwny
In some states the money question,
10 some local state issues, and 10 some

pointments may effect the result. AS
a whole the election will not hinge on
the money question. That was de-
clded ia 1896. and viii not be ma
tIonal issue until 1900, and even then
it may be oyershadowed by greater
issue.
The election Tuesday will be on the
issue OF sustaining the war policy Of
the administration. Tue war against
Spain Is not yet over. The peace is not
made The great problems growing out
OF our victory over Spain are not dis.
posed OF. No one can say the Mckinley
administration is not seeking to meet
those problems energetically, promptly
and lntelligently. Whether with ul.
timate wisdom no mau can say, but
with a certain degree OF American
fairness aud courage surely.
That is the way the people will
accept the matter and they will up.
mold the president In his war policy.
They should do this. TO vote down
the administration would be to
divide the country and give COM
fort aud encouragement TO Spain.
II ls the wlshof all patriotic people
10 lay aside all party differences on
national issues and give the president
a congress that will enable him TO
bring the peace negotiations to firm
conclusion and then let the American
people shape the future policy Of the
nation.

SALEM OF THE FUTURE.


The people have no interest In city
charter tinkerlng. No patch work on
the present Salem city charter can
help matters one iota. All such
changes and amendments are adopted
ut the instigation OF some inter
ested party. The people are not con-
suited. IL was supposed that under
Mayor Gatch's administration the fee
system was abolished aud the people
gave Mr.. Catch great credit for abol-
lshlng fees OF city ofilcials aud putting
them on salary. But when the
charter wes examined IL was found
that the city marshal and recorder
still had large fees from criminal
eases.
That was sample OF dark-lantern
charter work. The people demanded
that all city ofiiclals be tut on q SAL
ary. When the charter emerged
from the processes Of legislative
wltcheraft behold the city oficlals
can run up almost unlimited fee bills
against tho county. The ring made
the charter. Tho taxpayers foot the
bill.
IL will be Just that way until the
people make their own charter aud
adopt IL at popular vote. Then
these tricks will stop. All legislative
patchwork OF charters will be In the
interest Of the city politicians endless
chain gang, who 1--we of bond issues
and warrant scalpIng, IL will not be
In the interest OF the people. This
may be set down as tnal. Unless
the people wake up aud take their
city government In their own hands
they must pay the bill.
Should the Salem OF the future be
conducted under a dark-lantern
sharters Certainly not. The Salem
OF the future should be 80 we'll gov
erned, its finances so well arranged
that some suburbs will be taken
into the city, aud city built with a
thrse mile river front, and running
back TO the state lands. with splendid
streets put through east and west
north and south, with permanent
grades and a city planned and built
rs II should stand 20 years hence.
But It is doubtful n the people, OF
salem, can do these things. IL Is d
fact, we are too engrossed Ia making
living, we can pay no attention e
real city building. Our rich people
must take care OF their riches. Oul
poor must get bread. Our middle
class must watch their own business,
salem will not wake up and apply hel
resources and arouse her energies un-

THE JOURNAL AND Mr.. BrNo.
HAM.

Lest our readers weary Of too mush
attention to Mr.. Bingham, It is
needful to state the case against that
gentleman, wh ich Is IN no wise a per-
sonal but a public, matter, aud 1t Is
only with him as public issue that
THE JOURNAL has any business.
Mr. Bingham is political manager,
He has only lately been Republican
city and county chairman. He is
legal and financial adviser OF the city
aud .county. His bills have been
smaller the past year or two because
The JOURNAL has kept the matter
agltated. But his manifold services
and political beverages enable him to
spring bills at any time and thsy can
not be ignored because he holds a
legal, political or financial club over
the officials elected to ONCE by the
people. His contracts reach into the
the past aud into the future. They
are never ending, Like the poor,
Mr.. Bingham is always with US. On
top OF the bills Of the sheriff as
tax collector, the district attor-
ney the attorney general come
the bills OF Mr.. Bingham. He
is not modest attorney who sits
In his Office aud waits for clients.
His agents ana cO-workers poll
tlcal and otherwise. are at
work, whenever there Is prospect
OF fees OF a public character, lest
Bingham should not get his share.
Now 1t is that aspect OF Mr.. Blng-
hams activities that make him a
burden on the taxpayers and sub
ject for public discussion and news
paper criticism. He says this Is i'm
proper. He has patronage aud he
sees to IL that not dollar goes TO
a newspaper that exposes his grabs.
II withholding all patronage from
newspaper will not silence IL, then
ne becomes a stockholder. This llt!-
CATION against THE JOURNAL will be
carried on for years. II must be
made an example OF or Mr. Bingham
must go down on a common footing
with the other lawyers OF the Cap
ital city.
Now we do not wish TO weary our
readers with this matter but 1t is
public matter. Because $4,000 OF
Just such fee bills as Bingham's we're
before The special session OF the
legislature, aud will be up again, and
because, no one knows what amount
Of bills OF Blngham's will come yet
before the city and county the people
might as we'll keep their eye on Mr.
Bingham. This is said In no spirit of
personal Ill will. IL is u duty for
some one 20 perform and THE JOUR
NAL is glad TO he able TO discharge
this duty fearlessly and conscien
tIously even though II be unpleasant

change OF our entire monetary system
from a blmetalic to monometallic
basis, is TO be accounted for by that
simple statement, Is it9
Why we're not the gold coins all

stead OF being reduced In size They
were underyalued by the ratio Of 10 TO
/, and had "long ceased TO be coin Of
circulation" They we're then in ex-
actly the same position as was the
silver dollar Ia 1879. But our law
makers we're then too wise to discard
the blmetallic system, so they re-
duced the number of grains OF gold
necessary to make dollar, as an In
ducement for gold TO seek our mints.
II they had been just a little
wiser, and had.made the ratio l5l TO ]
to conform with that OF other free
coinage countries, there would have
been no more trouble. But they,
foollshly clung to Hamllton's dogma,
that the ratio was commercial prob
lem, merely, and they made II l6 to ].
Then, as the balance OF trade was
against us, and we were obliged TO
constantly ship bullion in settlement,
we shipped out our silver because 1t
was underYalued by our laws, and IL
became scarce.
In few years IL was necessary TO
pass another law, TO remedy this
condition. Now, why did they not
adopt the Oregonian's lnvinclble logic
and drop all silver coins from our
mintage? Instead OF doing that,
they reduced the size OF all silver
coins except the dollar, changed the
ratio, In fact, TO conform with that
OF other free coinage countries; and
thereafter the gold and miner silver
coins circulated side by side. Had
our Solons then been gifted with the
ordinary common sense OF the present
day, they would then haYe learned
their lesson, and would have made
our. mint ratio conform To that of
other blmetallc countries; gold and
silver would have calculated side by
side, even In the dreams OF latter-day
money gamblers, aud the stupendous
blunder of.ls73 would never have been
perpetrated,
10 remained for the wlseacres OF
1873 TO revolutlonIZe our entire
monetary system under the' plea
that our only silver coin which had
access TO the mlnts was OF no use, be.
cause IL was not In circulation, and
might as we'll be dropped.
That excuse, however, was never
given on the floors OF congress. No
excuse was given. rhe matter never
was discussed there, There can not
be found between the covers of the
congressional record, which gives
every word uttered, a paragraph TO
Indicate that the dropping OF the
silver dollar FROM the list OF coins
was ever mentioned while the bill
was under discussion. The man who
could flnd such a paragraph would be
rewarded beyond the dreams OF
avarlce. IL Is not there,

Our Soldiers Praised.


criticisms of the American soldier
have appeared from the pens of Eng
lish war correspondents with the Ar
my of Invasion. Correspondent of
the London Times says:
"For fighting purposes, then, the
United States private has nothing to
keep clean except his rife and bay
onet. He carries no contrivanccs for
polishing buttons. boots or the dozens
of bits of aceoutrement deemed es-
sent1al to a good soldier in Europe.
In Spain, for instance, the private
though he may have nothing in his
haversack. will. nevertheless, carry a
clumsy outfit of tools for making his
uniform look imposing"
AS to discipline. the correspondent
writes:
1.-THE firing discipline during the
three times we have been under fire,
has been excellent; the obedience of
soldiers to their officers has been as
prompt and intelligent as anything I
have seen in Europe and as to cool
ness under fire and accuracy of ai1l,
what have seen is most satisfactory.
The men evidently regard their off,
GERS as soldiers Of equal courage and
superior technical knowledge. To the
Yankee private West Pointer means
what to the soldier of Prussia is con.
veyed by noble rank. In my intimate
intercourse with officers and men
aboard this ship / cannot recall an
instance of an officer addressing a
private otherwise than is usual when
a gentleman issues an order. | have
never heard an officer or non-commis-
stoned officer curse man. During
the engagement of Cabanas orders
were issued as quietly as at any other
time and the men. went about their
work as steadily as blue jackets on a
man-o'-war
There are numberless points of re-
eembIance between Tommy Atkins
and the Yankee private, and the Sand.
hurst man has no difficulty in under
standing the West Pointer. But to
do this we must go little beneath
the surface and see things, not on the
parade ground, but in actual war.
For dress occasion the American
uniform is far and away the ugliest
and most useless of all the uniforms |
know. The helmets and cooked hats
are of the pattern affected by theatre
cal managers, the decorations tawdry,
the swords absurd, the whole appear
anee Indicative of a taste unmilitary
and inartistic. The parade uniform
has been designed by lot of unsold-
iery politicians and tailors about
Washington. Their notion Of mill
tary glory is confused with memories
of st. Patrick's Day professions and
Masonic installations. They have
made the patient United States Army
a victim of their vulgar designs, aud
to-day at every European army man
ouyer one can pick out the American
military attache by merely pointing
to the most unsoldierly uniform In
the field. On the battlefield, however
there are no political tailors, and rne
Washington dress regulations are
ruthlessly disregarded."
