The council met on Monday night and

present and continued until IL O'Clock.

payment to the city treasurer of $1,000

Thirteen years ago the city made a
conditional purchase of 20 acres of land
from ]. H. Thomas for park purposes.

The city attorney was instructed to
draft an ordinance requiring physician q
certificate before burial permits will be
issued. This means tax of $3.50 or
more On death, which promises soon to
become a luxury which only the rich
can afford.
The sexton reported the receipts for
the month to be SAL, and those OF City
Justice Taggard we're $3.50.
An ordinance is to be drawn up by the

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

Cbas. A. Towne has declined the nomi-
nation for vice president rendered by the
populists and in his letter of declination
he advocates and urges the support OF
the democratic nominees. The following
day BRYAN aud Stevenson were formally
notified at Indianapolis, under suspicious
conditions and before a great and dis
tnguished assembly OF people, of the ac-
ton of the national democratic conven-
ton. These events have practically in
augurated the campaign ami in his speech
of acceptance Mr.. Bryan reiterates that
the paramount issue is the maintenance
of our national integrity in opposition to
militaryism and imperialism.
1t is easy to understan the relative
compared with that of abandoning cher
ished traditions and forcing dominion up
on an alien race by the sword. The
money question is an economic, one and
should there be error in judgment it can
be corrected. But the policy of conquest
which the present government has enter
ed upon strikes at the foundation and
fundamental principles of our govern.
ment and is an issue involving the re-
affirmation or rejection of the Declaration
OF Independence. 1t is challenge as to
whether we shall remain a nation of free
men and tree states where all are equal
before the law, or shall we repudtate the
able document OF 1776 and enthrone that
of brute force, and establish colonial
system which is to be maintained by
great navies and enorm Gus standing
armies. Other questions may be Kept in
the back ground until this is decided.
The decadence of the moral character Of

mad course Of OUT government should be
stayed by the voices and votes Of the PEG.

The republican papers keep harping
over the reduction of the number of far m
and other mortgages during the present
administration but they give no currency
to two very important and undeniable
facts. First, that the loan companies
foreclosed on thousands of farms and
other holdings, thus Withdrawing them
from the statistical list of mortgaged
properties and second that providence
favored the American farmer with boun-
tious crops at time when crop failures
in other countries provided market at
remunerative prices.

These are Senator Turner's racers, and
are said to be fine lot Of horses. They
will put in training here for the Salem
races and return to complete the circuit.
The track is now in fine condition.
Secretary Gum has issued licenses for
various concessions and has applications

tions on the ground every afternoon dur.

circuit this season. They are supposed
to be the best specialists in their line on
the coast.
The secretary is corresponding with
the state officials and other prominent
men in Washington and surrounding

The gold standard may be the para.
mount issue with some men in the pres
ent campaign. Every age and every ma
ton has had men who subordinated ev-
erYthing in life to the dollar, and it need
not be surprising if few such should be
found in this country. Yet in the pres
ence OF an attempt to overthrow the free
government founded by the fathers, the
number of Americans who will decide
that they prefer an empire with an APP
preciating dollar to republic under the
bimetallc standard that was in vogue
until 1873, will be very few indeed.
