ANOTHER CRANK.
The Rev. Dr. 'Carrindane recently
went from St. Louis to New Orleans and
, became pastor of the Centenary Meth
odist Episcopal church, the wealthiest
Methodist church in the city. He has
. made one or two sensational moves
since his pastorate began but Sunday he
laid all previous attacks in the shade by
preaching a strong sermon, and an
nounced that he intended to make a
vigorous war on secret societies, which
he declared to be the curse of the age.
He has made a national reputation by
his two year's fight against the Louis
iana lottery, and, we presume, feels that
he is able to win any battle he may take
a hand in. He is sadly mistaken, and
will soon discover that he has collided
with-' something harder to knock out
than a lottery ticket, though it is hard
enough of course to beat any gambling
game. The Rev. Dr. is talking about
something of which he knows nothing,
for if he belonged to those secret
societies he would not fight them, and if
he does not belong to them he does not
understand his subiect. He makes an
ex-parie case, and having set up a series
of imaginary premises, he forms concln
sions therefrom. He is like a gnat on
the back of an elephant trying to form
an opinion as to the interior construc
tion of the animal from the phenome-
- non of the hide. The greatest curse of
the age is not secret societies,' not by
several rows of apple trees. The great
est curse of the - age is the egotistical
mouth organs who imagine they know
. it all, and that they have a mission to
correct all the imaeinary evils of the
age, and run mundane affairs with
crank by a rule of their own. The Rev,
Dr. Corrida ne will not injure the secret
socities, but he will probably cause dis
sension and bickerings in his church
and effectually destroy all possible use
fulness for himself.
A SERIOUS DRAWBACK.
It is a misfortune that the O. R. & N
road selected the Columbia river route
for its line east of this point. There are
many reasons why it would have been,
would now be, better if the line had
been located twenty miles or more south
of the river. It would have avoided
the drifting sands of the Columbia which
are a source of perpetual annoyance, it
would have developed a strip of country
twenty miles further south than is now
' settled,' or double the amount now set
tled south of the river. But of more im
portance than either of these it would
nave exhibited to immigrants tne extent
and productiveness of Eastern Oregon
They would have seen had the road been
so built waving fields of grain , and bunch
grass hills covered with cattle. The
country would have been thickly settled
duce. As it is the immigrant sees noth
ing but the forbidding cliffs which rise
from three hundred to six or seven hun
dred feet above him as the tratn sweeps
clear across the Columdia. At the sta-
turn he sees piles of grain but he cannot
understand where it comes from, and
, will .not believe that the tops of the hills
he sees around him aro all good farming
land. He sees nothing to induce him
to stop off as he passes through and
certainly nothing to induce him to return.
THE EXCLUSION ACT.
Senator Mitchell has introduced a res
olution for the purpose of getting the
opinion of the judiciary committee as to
' the time the Chinese restriction act ex
pires. This act was passed in 1882, and
was to in fnrcft ten vearo. Tn 1 SK4
the act was amended, and the Scott or
exclusion act was passed in 1888. Sena
tor Mitchell is of the opinion that the
acts all expire in 1892 and that further
legislation will be required to perserve
the present order of things. It is proper
-that the law should be continued in
force, and that its provisions should in
clude some other nations as well. The
Hungarian and Italian labor introduced
by capitlaists in the coal mining regions
of the east is of a character that makes
it if anything worse than Chinese labor.
If the doctrine of protection means any
thing, it means protection to American
labor, because that is the cry of protec
tionists in both parties, and it is impos
sible for American labor to be protected
while the cheapest, and worst degraded
class of foreign labor is admitted duty
free to compete with it. The exclusion
act should be continued in force, so
amended as to make it exclude, and to
include in its provisions such other for
eign labor as that we have indicated, re
gardless of nativity.
Senator Dolph has been interviewing
Secretary Noble concerning the forfeited
railroad lands, and has received official
assurance that the matter has been fully
examined into, and that rules governing
the locating of these lands will be issued
so as to reach the registers and receivers
of the IT. S. land offices inside of two
weeks. If this is true the dispatches
should contain the notice within the
next few days, certainly by New Years.
The granting of titles to these lands al
ready occupied, will add largely to the
list of taxable property and will mater
ially benefit both the school and road
districts, both of which have suffered
severely by all the odd sections escaping
taxation.
' The Attorian says that the Southern
Pacific company are going to build from
Albany to Astoria to connect with the
Oregon Pacific, which it thinks the
Southern Pacfic will purchase. Follow

the magnificent intervening valleys to

to a connectionfwith the Central Pacific

President Polk, of the National Farm
er's Alliance, has named Friday, Feb
ruary. 6, 1891, and Washington, D. C, as
the place of holding the first meeting of
the National Legislative Council which
is composed of the national president
and the presidents of all the staet
alliances.
A newspaper correspondent tells a
pretty story about Mrs. Senator Stan

poor poet who could not bear the expense
of the publication. Poor, unhappy Mrs.

If the people of The Dalles, and the
press of Wasco county, were more in
earnest and determined in their demand
to liave the locks at the Cascades
pleted, there is no doubt they would hav
long since been open to the public. There
seems to have been too much fear that
the annual or semi-annual allowance
will not be made in the river and harbor
bill if the truth is told. If a committee
were demanded and an honest one ap
pointed bv congress, there is no doubt
but these locks would be completed
two years. The thing is a most infam
ous fraud and there is no use disguising
the fact any longer. The locks ought to
have been built for half the money al
rpadv expended, and thev should have
been open ten years ago. Procrastina
tion may be good for a few people who
get a suck at the appropriation every
year or two, but it is runious to the peo
ple of a large section of -Eastern Oregon
and especially of "Wasco county. The
locks have become such a necessity that
the delay in their completion is an an
nual expense to Wasco county alone in
the difference of freight and passenger
traffic equal to fully $200,000, and we
think the next legislature ought to do
something substantial, not wind or po
litical bucomb, towards a demand for an
immediate completion of this work
Let the truth be told, and let it hurt
whom it may. A matter of such great
public importance should not be delayed
any longer in order that a few men may
eet rich at the general public expense
The Glacier, published at Hood River,
only about ten miles east of the locks,
strikes the mark pretty squarely in
following :

About four years ago, the writer, in
company with a United States senator
visited these locks. The senator was
thoroughly familiar with such works,
and after he had viewed the excavation,
the condemned material and the general
surroundings, remarked : " Well Major,
it looks very much to me as though this
work is not being prosecuted nor was it
begun with any direct purpose to open

' THE POLITICAL PROMISE.
The political promise, or more properly
speaking the senatorial political promise
is now ripe. The crop is large, and of
more than average quality, and reports
from all our broad domain show that
neither blizzard nor snow, frost nor
drouth has deteriorated eithet the qual-
ty or the quantity of the harvest. For
a length of time to which the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary, the
political promise has been a power in
the land. The canal and locks at the
Cascade have had political promises
enough io have excausted them, and
completed them, but still another con
signment will be sent us this winter.
Moody in Dakota is sowing his broad
cast. Ingalls.is putting his in with a drill,
Squire is sending his through the mails,
and Dubois has already cut his green
for hay. There is no. tariff on the polit
ical promise, it is a free trade article,
free for all, all wool and generally made
of whole cloth. Ono would think the
great American people would get tired of
the political promise, but they don't.
They take a dose for an adult every year
and just when they would naturally be
expected to gag, they cry for more. The
political promise is a sort of mental cas
toria, the young American taking it early,
and prescribing it later on for his child
ren. It is like the celebrated rubber
omnibus, there is always room for one
more. It is the lever that lifts many a
dead weight into the senate, the leaven
that lightens the political dough, the
salve for sore-heads, the specific for all
complaints, and withal so sweetened, and
compounded of harmless ingredients
simple sirup and rose water, that it is
pleasant to the taste beautiful to the eye.
and harmless to the stomach. We all
like it, all take it, and all vote for the
fellow that administers it on the alo-
pathic plan. It is indigenous to the
United States, and flourishes like a green
bay-tree. It is a daisy, and would fill
the bill for a national "flower.
READ THE NEWSPAPERS,
In the search for something to read,
the home paper is too often overlooked,
and yet is one of the very best papers
that can possibly be laid before your
children. It contains local news which
they can understand and appreciate,
and it will teach them to read and to
inform themselves. The country pajers
are often weak sisters, yet almost in
variably as strong as the coinunity where
in they eke out their existance will allow
them to be. When yon find a good live
newspaper you will find its corollary a
good live community reading it support
ing it, and profiting by it. Again you
find family where the country paper
is a welcome visitor and the news of the
day is appreciated, and you will find an
intelligent family group, any member of
which can converse intelligently on
almost any topic. Novels and story
papers are all right in their place, but
we wish to say to our young lady friends
that they are neglecting the greatest aid
to conversational perfection, when they
ueglect to read the newspaper. If you
have not the inclination, cultivate it,
read the telegrams, post yourself on the
issues of the day, teach yourselves to
think, to take an interest in the affairs
of the great busy world,' and you will
find in a short time that yon will miss
your daily paper almost as badly as you
would vour meals.
Secretary Noble, Mondav, in reply
to an inquiry from local land officers at
Oregon City, Or., holds that an appli
cant who, prior to the act of August 30
last has perfected title to 320 acres or
more, under the geueral land laws may.
under that act, acquire title to 320 acres
more. That is to say, the act is not re
troactive, and hence "the limitation ap
plies only to the amount which may be
acquired after passage of the act.
In view of the fact that it is impossi
ble to acquire any of the forfeited land
under any circumstances, the ruling of
the distinguished secretary has a flavor
of sarcasm, and the statement that "the
act is not retroactive" when it is not
active at all, would provoke a smile if it
were not for the fact that profanity takes
precedence. The secretary finds time to
decide all knotty points connected with
the forfeiture act except to discover and
decide that the act is sn force. The act
is not in force, why then decide hypo
thetical cases. Wo have played the
part of Shacabac long enough! We
will no more of the Bannecidal feast
Our good host the secretary, has carried
his iest far enough! We have washed our
hands with invisible soap in imaginary
water,5and feasted in a hypnotized state
on that which was not. Let him beware
lest his puests become drunken on his
idealistic wine, and put a large sized po
litical head on him.
AN OLD TIME ACT.
A few days ago when a sick neighbor
was confined to his bed at lairhaven
the neighbors made a "bee," furnished
the seed, and put in twentv acres of
grain in one day for their afflicted neigh
bor, then collected enough money to
oav the sick man's taxes, and made the
family comfortable with things they
needed. Oregonian.
These good neighbors were practical
christians and without doubt realized as
they contemplated their good work, the
joy and comfort they brought to
their sick neighbor and his tired and
worried wife, that "it is more blessed to
give than to recieve." A man is better
for having performed such work, and
the man for whom it was done, can
never under any circumstances get very
wicked. It is a genuine specimen of old
time neighborism, such as our grand
fathers practiced when they cleared up
th forests of Ohio and Indiana, the "far
west" of those days, a specimen unfortu
nately too rare, in these bustling days
These good people made for their neigh
bors a glad Christmas, and filled his
heart, along with their own with the
divine spirit, expressed in the glad
Dean "Peace on earth, good will to
man."
THE CORRECT PLAN.
If the dispatches yesterday are correct,
Custer's death, and that of his gallant
command has been in part avenged
Three hundred of the treacherous and
brutal savages have paid the penalty of
their murderous attack, with their lives,
and the gallant Seventh cavalry has
avenged the death of the brave boys
who fell victims to Indian treachery, on
the Rosebud. The particulars of the
battle so far are meager, but if the state
ment is correct that 300 of the sullen
and murderous wretches are dead, the
public can dispense with the details of
their taking off. It is sufficient to know
that they are gone. Subsequent to the
main battle s gang of thirty Indians
undertook to capture a provision train
of the Ninth cavalry, and the Ninth
gives a satisfactory account of each and
all of them. They are dead. Humani
tarians will be shocked at the fate that
has befallen these poor misguided
wretches, but they deserved just such
treatment as they received. Indian
nghting can be conducted on but one
one plan and that is to kill them just as
you would a snake. It is fortunate that
the soldiers opposed to them understand
their duty, and knowing it performed it.
We take pleasure and pride in calling
attention to the Chronicle's. dispatches
yesterday. They were important, and
placed before our readers more than
twenty-four hours before the Oregonian
with the same dispatches reached them.
As a matter of fact that paper has not
yet arrived. . We intend to make this
paper as good as any small daily can be,
and we are not ashamed to have it com
pared with any of the dailies in the state
except the Oregonian. The moral of all
which is that if you have not already
subscribed for it you had better do so at
once. It will please your wife and it
will benefit you. Try it for a month and
see if you can get along without it.
Diphtheria is prevalent at Pendleton
though it is now thought to be confined
to a. limited district, which is quaran
tined, and it is hoped its spread may be
prevented. We sincerely hope our fair
sister may speedily stamp out this dread
disease, and in the meanwhile suggest
to our authorities the utmost vigilance
that the disease does not get a foothold
here. It is also reported that this dis
ease is raging in the Coppei district near
Walla Walla.
A correspondent asks: ''Why don't
the road supervisor who has charge of
the road that crosses Three-Mile at the
Bettingen place have the same opened?
All the damages have been paid and the
road ordered opened long ago." Not

that the supervisor might throw some
light on the subject.
Senator Ingalls wooing the Kansas
granger, is a sight to make even the
average citizen of that dry state smile.
The great public, which rejoices at
individual embarrassment, plays Ther
siles to his Troilius, while the giddy
granger does the Cressid act to perfec
tion. The republican press as Pandar,
deserve an encore, while democrats strut
proudly as the dashing Diomed.
The Mount Carmel airship does not

isn't built that way.
The Oregonian may be correct in its
editorial in Wednesday's issue wherein
it says, "gold is king," but it does not
look that way. The dispatches the same

the probable defeat of the election bill,
on account of the silver bill. ; Silver,
just now, is king. j .
Special from the Indian Quarters
Friendly Indians Joining- the Hostile.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 31. A Bee special
from Kashville says : A blinding snow
storm which is last assuming the pro
portions of a blizzard, is raging here and
at the agency since 9 o'clock this morn
ing. Advices are that a desultory fight
was kept up nearly all night at the battle
ground within a few miles of the agency
until by reason of the suspicious actions
of alleged friendly Indians in camp near
the agency the troops were called in
from the field.
The question on every hand is "what
has become of the supposedly large
number of friendly bucks located south
of the agency until yesterday?" A
half-breed courier who was through that
camp last night reports that nearly
every able-bodied Indian in this outfit
had quietly slipped away after dusk and
joined the hostile forces. The friendly
Indians at Pine Ridge now, he says, are
principally squaws and those not able to
fight.
Up to 11 o'clock this morning every
thing was reported quiet. That further
desperate fighting will occur there seems
no doubt. During this storm the In
dians would have great advantage.
Danger is that the Indians will now
break away to their strongholds in the
Bad Lands and will be reinforced by
the Rosebud, Standing Rock and other
Indians.
Eight more dead soldiers were
brought to the agency after dark last
night.
THE INDIAN WAR.
General Miles Gives the Amount of Our

telegram from General Miles dated
Chadron, Neb;, Dec. 30. I reported
yesterday statements received from Col.
Forsythe through General Brook, and I
am now informed that losses in that s trouble in filling the places of the disaf
affair were Captain Wallace of the 7th i fected. A committee from the strikers

Lieutenant Garlington and thirty-four j disclaimed having any grievance against
men wounded. Lieutenant Haver-! the i.auor and admitted i hat the" fnr-
thorne of the 2d cavalry reports about
three hundred Indians that were at or
near the agency at that time are now

men now belong to the hostile element.
I expect to be at the agency to-morrow
morning and will report more in-detail

Omaha, Dec. 31. A. temporary injunc
tion has been granted on the petition of
Ernest Stall of Omaha, to prevent $100,-
000 in bonds voted by the city to aid the
Union Pacific R. R., in the construction
of a Union depot here, from being turned
over to that company. The injunction is
based on the ground that the Union
Pacific should allow all roads access to
the depot on reasonable terms, and it
now shows a disposition to violate the
contract. Hearing is set for January 5

Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 29. The Star
this evening says : Chairman Buchanan,

prevent, if possible, the alliance men
from caucusing. If they go into caucus,
he said, the man thev nominate will be
elected on the first ballot. A dispatch
from Topeka, however, says a caucus
will be called for the evening before the
assembling of the legislature. Ingalls

March, when eight miners were impris
oned. After repeated efforts to secure
the bodies, two were recovered to-day,

He Wage Vigorous War on All Secret
Fraternities.
St. Louis, Dec. 28. Rev. Dr. Carri-
dane recently came here from New Or
leans and became pastor of the Centenary
Methodist Episcopal church, the
wealthiest Methodist church in the city.
He has made one or two rather sensa
tional moves since he arrived, but has
capped the climax by preaching a strong
sermon and finally announcing that he
intended to make a vigorous war on the
fraternal societies, which he declared to
be the curse of the age. He has said
very many harsh things, and Freemasons
are in a state of great agitation. Many
prominent Masons are members of his
church and, while they were reluctant
to express themselves, have felt bound
to speak, and have done so in very plain
terms. John H. Deem, an officer and
one of the oldest members of the church,
is secretary of the United Masonic Relief
Association. He expresses his indigna
tion in very strong terms. Fully half
the members of the church are Masons,
and there is a general expectency of
serious trouble, as Cariadane is known
to be a fighter. He is the man who
made a national reputation by his two
years' fight on the Louisiana lottery
while he was in New Orleans.

They Object to the Employment
of
Man in Good Standing.
Tacoma, Dec. 28. Yesterday the fore
man of the Globe composing room gave
out a case to a young man, a member in
good standing in the union. This action
was objectionable to a few of the printers
for personal reasons, and to-night they
took advantage of the absence of most of
the regular force and, through the
chapel, demanded the young man's dis
missal. This being refused a portion of
the force walked out, leaving the paper
temporarily crippled. The office is con
sidered fairly 'fat," and there will be no

At a late hour to-night the executive

Montague, Cal., Dec. 28. Miss Kate
Dignon of San Francisco, who is visiting
Mrs. B. F. Butler's place, had a most
exciting experience last evening. . Re
turning from the Arcade hotel to' her
private apartments, she heard a noise in
her room, and looking under the bed
she discovered a burglar. Seizing him
by the foot she held him until her
screams brought help. He was safely
secured. He refused to give his name.
Miss Dignon's hands are bruised fear
fully from the kicks of his nailed boots.

TluU'a What Judge Dysart, of Central ia,
WU1 Do.
Tacoma, Dec. 28. A great deal has
been said lately as to the senatorial
preferences of the members of the legis
lature from Lewis county. . In a recent
interview with Judge Dysart, of Cen
tralia, a Spokesman correspondent quotes
that gentleman to the effect that the
delegation would vote for Squire. Judge
Dysart indignantly repudiated the inter
view, and to-morrow the Globe will
print a letter from him in which he
states that he believes his colleagues are
unpledged, but as for himself he shall
"vote first and all the time, for W. H.
Calkins for United States senator."
