then the imperative need of the silyel
coinage of the constitution will become
apparent to all. just SO long as the
money kings of the world can make
more by maintaining the feyerist
boom they will keep it up; but wher
the time comes when they cau make
more by squeezing the life out of the
poor and the producers, they will &c
that. The panics of the past have
been money panics, and the money
kings have not suffered from them
Money panics can be produced by the
money kings at pleasure when the
worlds supply of money is made.

1t is inevitable that the Filipinos
are to be subdued. They cannot hold
out many months longer against the
overwhelming forces that are being
sent against them. Then after they
are whipped and the United States
takes full control what are we going
to do with them? Can we govern
them with out drifting into timper-
ialism?. Can republican govern
ment pursue successful course in
controlling colonies?
People who imagine The Dalles is
''doomed" just want to keep their
eyes on it for the next twelve months.
The probabilities are they will see q
big coal mine opened within mile of
its corporate limits, the portage road
completed connecting the upper and
lower river, with The Dalles as its
western terminus, and railroad
started thai will lead from the city to
the California line. Then just watch
The Dalles grow and prosper.
A year or two ago our republican
friends declared that the sugar indus
try must be protected by tariffs and
bounties. Now they declare that we
must annex Cuba, as we have Hawaii
and Porto Rico, thus allowing the pau
per PLANTATION labor OF those islands to
furnish us with sugar to the detriment
of the home producer. The average
republican who keeps up with his
party's flip f1ops will be in the air
about three thirds of the time.
Will Governor Geer prosecute that
man Plummer for circulating the re-
port that he gave the governor $1,000
to appoint him superintendent of the
penitentiary? Will the governor even
deny the statement? Oregonians are
waiting for him to do something. |
They are smarting under the disgrace
heaped upon the state by the accusa-
tions OF Plummer. They do not want
the story that their governor would ac-
cept bribe to go forth to the world
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has
been bought, it is presumed by Senator
Hanna, though Don Lamont, vice
PRESIDENT of the Northern Pacific, was

,lace until December l, but in all
it will support Mr.. McKin-

lively tilts may be expected between

Now Secretary Gage proposes to go

1t Is stated that the people of Wood
urn are considerably exercised over
,e fact that two Mormon elders are .
oldinp meetings in the city. They "

lem as the five were treated who
sited The Dalles last summer. Here -
le people simply did not attend their
eetings, but allowed them to talk to
lcant space, aud they soon folded .
leir tents and stole away. The way
get rid of such people is simply to
