THE Oregonian now admits that
Illinois is doubtful State. 1t has
conceded Indiana to Bryan. At this
rate, it will have to throw up the
sponge long before the day of election
rolls around. The reason for the Suck.
er State changing front is the uneasy
condition of the labor question, des-
pite the claim nf prosperity. Then
the German population. which is
large, have been terrified by the I'M.
pending signs of imperialism, and
they know, from experience, what ON
autocratic rule is. Then the State ad-
ministration has been unpopular. and
adds its weight to the causes of dis
content. Unless something is done,
and done quickly, there is danger,
says that paper, OF loss OF the State
from the Mckinley column.

Another Attempt to Hoodwink.

A lie, it is said, in political chican-
erv, when we'll stuck to is good as the
truth, and that is probably what the
Gorham Manufacturing Co., of New
York, Ga trusD thought when they is
sued a campaign token silver dollar,
for kindergarten uses in swaying ten
der brains in the present campaign.
1t is the size, shape. fineness and
weight of silver dollar. 1t is in
scribed, "This price of silver is the
size and weight of q government dollar
containing 4l2I grains of silver 900
fine, and its value, July 9Th, 1900, was
As cents-coinage value, at the rate of
1G to is 100 cents"
There you have the terrible goldbug
indictment against silver. Now let US
consider on what foundation this as
founding disparity is based. What
makes gold of value for anything ex-
cept art or ornament, outside of its
adaptability for passing as medium
for expressing mandate of Law that
it shall represent specific value
in measurement of other values. 1t 10
this quality, impaired by law, which
makes it the unit OF value, and the alb
sence of that law-giving power that
makes the metal of the silver dollar
fall in relative value to less than half
the gold unit. In other words, Gold
is king, enthroned by law; silver the
vassal, made so by withdrawal Of Off
cial favor. Gold passes as legalten-
der for everything by command of law,
and it is itself the unit of value for
everything.
The token dollar issued by the Cor
man Manufacturing Co. is worth only
4S cents, simply because it does not
bear the government imprint declar-
ing that it shall equal the standard
unit of value in exchange for other
values.
The ingot fails to fairly carry the
lesson intended, because it has only
oae.half of the essential characters.
tics of money-the more important
half being totally wanting-a decree
of the government declaring that ii
shall possess a certain value. Silver
discs, like the Gorham playthings,
with the government stamp pass for
payment of certain class Of debts and
are readily exchanged for commodities
at the same ratio as gold, for the rea'
son that they possess limited legal
tender value, and are, for convenience
receivable for gold coins in trade al
par by authority of the government
stamp upon them. Necessity in max
change, as we'll as q certain degree oil
policy, has demanded this concession
from the goldbugs, and it does not, in
the least, interfere with their project
to handle the currency in a way te
control property values as may sui,
their greedy souls.

plague reported, II OF which proved
fatal. Since that date five cases have
been discovered The most important
and alarming was that of a white
woman, the wife of George Borman, an
old resident. This case was reported
the 9Th. The woman fingered for two
days and then succumbed. This case
created great alarm among the white
people here, and citizens meeting
was called and active steps were taken
to district the city, and now house.
to-house inspection is made twice a
day and each occupant must be &C
counted for. 1t is believed that this
plan will do more to stamp out the
trouble than any steps yet taken. The
board of health still continues to burn
all infected buildings. About one.half
OF Chinatown has been destroyed by
fire. Before the month is out it is ex-
pected that this plague spot will be en-
tirely reduced to ashes.
The town OF IIilo has come out in
open rebellion against the government,
and threatens to resist by force any at

Hawaiian town indicate a condition
bordering ON panic among the people,
who seem ready to offer mob violence

COMMISSION MAY GOVERN.
President Now Has a New Plan for the
Philippines.

fnliIpplueSs
New York, Jan. 27.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says: The
proposition made by the Filipino leader,
Senior Mabini, for civil cOmmi ssiOn
to treat with the Filipinos will not be
considered by the administration until
AguinaIdo srrrenders, and in official
circles the general disposition is to re.
gard Mabini's request as another play
for delay.
1t ia the purpose of President Mckin-
ley to inaugurate civil government to
supersede military rule in the Philip.
pines at the earliest possible moment.
and he is favorably inclined toward u
commission in lieu Of governor-gen-
eral, and is discussing the question of
available men for such commission.
If his present plans are carried out the
Filipinos will have all OF the commits.
sions they want to confer with, for in
addition to commission for the gov.
eminent OF the islands, it is not un.
likely that congress will appoint n
joint commission to investigate the is
lands next summer and report to the
next session as a guide for future legis-
lation.
A great deal OF interest was mani
tested in congressional circles in the
communication from Senior Mabini.
There is some diversity of opinion over
the proposition and its feasibility.
Senator Hoar, leader OF the anti.admin.
istration forces in this fight, was deep
~ interested in the proposition.
'That sounds fair AMI just" said
he. land do not see how such propo-
sition can we'll be declined. As un-
derstand, all the Filipinos ask is that
congress listen to them before deciding
their fate"
Senator Lodge, who represents the
administration views Of the Philip
pine question, sail:
''It will be time enough to talk of
commissions when these people lay
down their arms and stop fighting our
soldiers"
Senator Beveridge, most pro-
nounced annexationist, regards Mabini
as the equal, as a conservative states.
man, of any man in public life in
America. OF his proposition, how
ever, the senator said:
II would have to study it more
closely before giving an opinion that
would be of value, but ii were to an.
swer off hand, would say that it
seems to me his suggestion has been
anticipated by the appointment OF the
civil commission which visited the
islands and which did everything pos
sible to bring about an understanding
with the natives"
John Barrett. former minister to
Siam, said:
whatever comes from Mabini is
certainly worth considering. am
inclined, however, to think it is too
late for nything to be done on the line
he suggests. The only thing to do is
to go in and complete American victory
and then get to work and help the Fill
pinos develop the largest amount OF
self-government OF which they are capa.
ble.'

ROBERTS SENT HOME
House Voted Not to Admit
the Utah Polygamist.
MAJORITY RESOLUTION CARRIED
Closing Day Of the Debate-votes o.
the Two Pr"positions-Result Re.
ceived with Cheers.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The case Of
Brigham II. Roberts, the Mormon
representative.elect from Utah, which
has occupied so much of the attention
of the house since the assembling OF
congress, was decided today by the
adoption of resolution to exclude him
by vote OF 1858 to 80. The exact Ian.
guaye of the resolution was as follows:
"That under the facts and circum.
stances of the case, Brigham II.
Roberts, representative elect from the
hold seat in the house OF representa-.
tives, and that the seat to which he
WAS elected is hereby declared vacant"
The amendment to expel Roberts
without seating him, offered by Lacey,
was ruled out on a point of order, and
the house only voted OH the resolutions
OF the majority and minority OF the
committee. The latter-to seat and
then expel Roherts-was defeated, 81
to 244. An analysis Of this vote shows
that ITO Republicans, ~ Democrats
and two Populists voted against 1t, and
~ Democrats, six Republicans. two
Populists and two Silver. Republicans
for it.
The affirmative vote on the majority
resolution-to exclude Roberts and de.
clare the seat vacant-was divided As
follows: Republicans, 1888; Demo-
Gratis, 90; Populists, 4. The negative
vote: Democrats, ~; Silver-Republi.

ity.
The announcement of the result OF
the final vote was received with cheers.
Roberts was present throughout the
day, and left the hall after the result
of the last vote had been announced.
As he did so, he gave out a statement
justifying his retention OF his plural

obligation was more binding upon his
conscience than technical obedience to
statutory laws. and saying that there
was little excuse for the extraordinary

Old slavery Question.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Just at the
close OF today's session of the senate,
"A speech delivered by Money, of Mis-.
sissippi, on the race question III tn,
South precipitated heated colloquy
between him and Chandler, of New
Hampshire. in which the latter alleged
that the Southern senators, by intern.
perate statements, were reopening the
whole Southern question in the senate,
after it was supposed to be dead. The
charge which Chandler particularly
noticed vas made by Morgan, OF Ala.
bama, who is absent at present, but as
it had been reiterated substantially, in
Chandler's opinion, by other senators,
he declared he did net purpose to per
init it to go unreiuted. The charge
was made that the civil war had been
precipitated by deigning politicians OF
the North for the purpose Of putting
the slaves on political and social
equality with the Southern whites.
Chandler's refutation OF the statement
was made with chara vehe.
mence and aggressiveness. but rs no
reply was offered. the incident ended
there.
The urgent deficiency bill, carrying
about $4,000, 900, passed without di'
