Oregon at the W.irl.l's I air.
Oregon is one of the few States
that is not represented at the World's
Fair by a State building: This far
western State's World's Fair appro
priation was made at so late a date
that it was decided impracticable to
attempt the erection of a building.
Oregon is, however, represented in
the several great department build
ings of the exposition by displays
that do credit to the State.

BILL ARTS LETTER.
Silver and gold. I wish that I did
understand it. I have said so much
about bimettalism and demonetizing
and free coinage and the Sherman
act and the purchase ot bullion and
what Congress should do and
shouldn't do that it all makes my
head swim, and I lose confidence in
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle and
everybody else. The whole thing
seems to be in a tangle. Have we
no great statesmen, no great finan
ciers to back up to ? Are the editors
of the papers to box the thing about
forever and ever and keep the people
in a quandary ? Is partisan politics
to curse the country while it is suffer
ing from a financial panic that is par
alyzing every industry and creating
a general distrust. There is not a
Republican paper but what would
rather the Democrats would make a
blunder than to bring relief. They
are a heartless set these politicians.
They are everlastingly machining
around to keep in office or to get in
and the Democrats are nearly as bad
as the Republicans. I have heard so
much in the last two. weeks about
machine politics that I am sick. I
'never conceived how many bargains
and trades had to be made to get an
oltke ; how many traps and triggers
and how the patronage and spoils
and perquisites had to be divided out
to suit the Congressmen and keep
them .in office. Not all the Congress
men, of course, for thank heaven we
have some there who have no ma
chine and who would not fear to have
every act of their political life laid
open, to the people, but with some of
them a public office is a private trust.
They say, "This is my office.- I
worked lor it, stooped for it, lied for
it; and I'm going to make all I can
out of it." It has been that way al
ways I reckon, and we can't help it,
but I do wish that we had some great
statesmen like there used to be
some great thinkers and leaders like
Calhoun and Webster and DeWitt
Clinton of the olden times. I wish
that we had Justice Jackson in Con
gress, for I do behve that a man who
could untangle the Central railroad
as quickly as he did could untangle
all this monev business and tell tne
country what to do to restore confi
dence. That is all that is wanted
they say. Confidence! ' I want some
myself. . Confidence is a plant of slow
growth in an aged bosom. My old
friend Cicero Strong told me the
other day that the way to settle the ;
trouble was to take the $100,000,000
of reserved gold that was in the treas- j
ury and use, for it had been there for 1
years and years doing no good and !

is the use of the gold being locked
up so long when it is needed so bad?"
"Maybe that's been done already," i
said I. "Maybe the gold Isn't there, 1
but it is only bags of lead." Maybe ,
them Republicans did change it
said Cicero, and he looked so.emn,
like he, too, had lost confidence. ' j
j During the last great political ex
citement when the people's party was
cavorting around, a little preacher
over in East Tennessee mounted a
wagon body at a justice court ground
and harangued the boys on the silver
question. "Free silver !" he cried.
"Free silver ! Blessed be the pros
pect. When our party gets in power,
my brethren, there will be no more
want, no more poverty, no more
hands to hang down or feeble knees
to shake, but everybody will have
silver. Bless the Lord ! We will
run every mine to its full capacity

every road, and as the wagons move
along we will shovel it out andcatter
it far and wide, and even the women
and children will get some, bless the :
Lord ! Free silver : come quickly
and buy without money and without
price, oh ye of little faith," and the
people said "amen."
That wasn't much worse than a
speech that I heard George Francis
Train make at Rochester about
twenty years ao. He grew sub
limely eloquent about the government
issuing millions and billions and tril
lions ano quintnllions of paper money
and lending everybody just as much
as they w.mted. . "Keep the paper
mills running day and night and the
printing machines, and let the bright,
new bills flood the land, and then I
will have a pocketful and feel like a
eentleman. and mv country friend
over there will have his saddle bags 1
full, and that good old woman will
have her apron full, and we will build
docks and canals and railroads and
meeting houses and ships and lacto
nes, and everybody will have plenty
to do at big prices, and the poor will
become rich and those who are now
rich will become poor, for their old
fashioned money will be good no
more, and we will all be happy as if
the millenium had come."
"Hold on Train," said one of his
hearers; "hold on a minute." "What's
the matter ?" said Train. "Wouldn't
the whole thing collapse and bust up
after awhile ?" said his hearer. Train
looked at him with sovereign con
tempt, and said : "Why, of course,
it would ; any lool might know that.
There would be an awful bust up,
but all these hotels and canals and
railroads and factories wouldn't bust
up they would be there. Don't you
see?"
There is some truth in all this, even
if a crank did say it. Go to Decatur
and Anniston and Boyce's and Shef
field and Florence and Bridgeport.
Go anywhere where there was a boom
a few years ago and see the big
houses and stores and factories that
are empty. They are all there, but
the collapse came and the builders
have scattered to parts unknown.
You can't force prosperity by a
boom, neither can it be forced by
legislation at Washington. Thev
may grease the wagon so that it will
run easier, but no permanent relief
will come until there is a demand for
the products of industry, whether
they come from the factories, the
mills, the furnaces or the soil. There
has been an 1 over production in al
most everything, and there has been
too much extravagance at home. If
a man gormandizes himself he gets
sick and has to take medicine. Just
so most everybody has been living
beyond their means buying too
much on a credit because credit was
offered and goods were cheap, and
now when the shut down comes we
are not prepared for it. That's the
way it is at my house, and all 1 can
do is to lay it on this financial busi
ness, and tell mv folks it is lack of
confidence. It is all right, and we
are taking our medicine. Chicago
has gone up; the spout at niy house

to reorganize the Georgia Central rail
road is to be abandoned,: A circular

Striking Thirty Thous
and Spectators,
Chicago, July 10. The fear that has
existed for months in the minds of
nearly all the citizens of Chicago a
fear that none dared to utter to his
fellow, but all felt found realization
today in a frightful occurrence at the
world's fair that claimed nearly two
score of victims and, for a time, threat
ened the destruction of the entire
White Cit-. ;
A tlimsily erected building by the
Hercules Iron Company of Chicago,
used as a cold storage warehouse and
ice skating rink, and situated near the
Sixtyfourth street entrance to the Ex
position grounds, burned to the ground
in a little over an hour this afternoon,
sending to death, as far as is known at
least eighteen men anil injuring nine
teen others.
The full extent of the death wrought
may never be known, as the building
collapsed totally in so short a time
after the fire, started that many people
who entered the building to render aid
before the peril under which they were
placing themselves was realized, 'were
caught like rats in a trap. It is said
that but four Columbian guards are
missing.'but there are many vacancies
in the different companies scattered
about the grounds and . their captains,
while refusing to commit themselves,
fear that their men have been cre
mated. There were thirty-five firemen on a
high tower, with every avenue of es
cape cut off, conscious of the fact that
a jump to the roof ninety feet below.
meant instant death. Some took the
awful leap, others sank down with
the building into the awful ill ey fur
nace. The scene of horror was witnessed
by many thousands of people and
strong men wept and women fainted
as one life after another was swept
out in their full view, but beyond hu
man aid. -
