1 " THI INDIAN SITUATION.
Measures In the House and Senate for a
Railroad Commission.
Olykpia, Jan. 14. The senate passed
its first bill to-day. It was Dyer's,
authorizing nine jurors to render a ver
dict in a civil case in the superior court.
It was bill day in the house. Seventeen
were introduced.
The farmers of the state are unani
mously in favor of the enforcement of
section 13 of article 12 of the constitution,
which declares all transportation com
panies to be common carriers and subject
to legislative control, and gives all rail
roads the right of intersection and con
nection and the rapid transfer of freight.
They complain that railroad companies
are continually discriminating against
many shippers and shipping points, and
have refused to supply the demand for
cars, thus forcing down the price 01 grain
10 cents a bushel. The farmers' alliance
has taken the subject in hand, and every
subordinate alliance in the state will pass
a resolution urging the legislature to en
force the constitution. Petitions and
resolutions were presented to-day from
the Spokane and Garfield county alli
ances.
HER TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT.
Present
Fine
Condition of Affairs
, , Rid re Agency.
Washington, Jan. 16. The comnris
' aioner of Indian affairs to-day received
from Mrs. Goodall, supervisor of educa
tion at Pine Ridge, a report on the bat
, tie on Wounded Knee. She says her
information is chiefly from the Indian
prisoners engaged in it, and persons who
afterward visited the scene. The sur
- Tivors of Big Foot's band are unani
mous in the statement that the Indians
did not deliberately plan the resistance.
The demand for their arms was a sur
" prise to the Indians. But a great ma-
ferity chose to submit quietly. Some
yJL already been" searched and a large
number of guns, knives and hatchets
.confiscated.
When the searching of the persons of
the men began, the women say they too
were searched and their fcnives which
they alway carry for household purposes,
were taken from them. A number of
men surrendered their rifles and car
tridge belts, when one young man, de
scribed by the Indians as a good-for-nothing
young fellow fired a single shot
This called for a volley from the troops
and the firing and confusion became
general. ,
' . I THE STRICKEN NATION.
the
A Startling Pamphlet Sent Around
Capitol. t
' "Washington, Jan. 14. A startling
- looking pamphlet was sent around the
capital to-day. It was entitled "The
Stricken Nation," and recounted the
terrible fate of the country at the hands
of the malignant Britishers in the year
1893. The story is intended as an awful
warning to congress on the subject of
. coast defences. . The front of the book is
devoted to queer and vivid pictures of
: the destruction of New York. In the
foreground a very demoralized statue of
liberty, armless and tottering, looks
out despairingly on every ship that
passes by. And there is a number of
them on the bay and river sending np
xheets of flame, while New York city
' itself presents the appearance of a volcano
in active operation. On the rear cover a
- till more depressing picture represents
Washington city sinking under the
shells of our neighbors over the sea.
The. capitol is very far gone. The statue
of freedom on the dome has toppled
, over, while sheets of flame are issuing
from the apex. The building itself has
lieen turned completely around by the
force of the bombardment. The poor
Washington monument has been broken
off like a stick of candv. if this para
phlet does not have the desired efiaet our
legislators are not susceptible to fear,
A Pennsylvania Girl Gives Birth to
Quartette of Illegitimate Children.
CoNNKLsvnxK, Pa., Jan. 15. Maggie
Robeson, aged nineteen, a servant em
ployed at the Dean House, has given
birth to a quartette ol boys. iney are
all healthy and well developed. The
girl is the daughter of George Robeson,
a coal miner who works at Bradford for
Frick & Co. When Robeson heard
of the affair he attempted suicide,
William Gray, a neighbor, discovered
him in the top of a tree with a razor in
his hand, about to cut his throat ; but
Gray succceeded in dissuading him from
taking his life. Robeson drove bis
daughter from home and threatened her
life if she ever returned. The young
mother and her babies are now at Dun
bar, where they are being cared for.
Miss Robeson has sworn out a warrant
before squire Col ton of Dunbar for the
arrest of James Kane, whom she charges
with the paternity of her children,
Kane is an iron worker and is thought
to be in Pittsburg.
The Telegrapher's Strike.
Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 16. Just
seventy two operators and station agents
employed on the line of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul system, quit
work to-day. General Manager Earling
says that at every station where operat
ors quit work another stands ready to
take his place, so that the telegraphic
business of the road has suffered no de
lay. The men involved this affair really
had no grievance and were deceived by
the order of railway telegraphers. There
has been no reduction of salaries put
simply equalization.
Chicago, Jan. 16. The grand chief
Theuston of the order of
Bills have been introduced in the
Oregon legislature asking appropriations
for the improvement of wagon roads,
which in the aggregate call for $49,000,
So far the matter of making an appro
priation for the Columbian exposition
has not come up, and it is safe to say
that a bill to appropriate $250,000 will
not pass. There is too much money re
quired for internal improvements, wagon
roads and portage railroads that the
people demand to help them. There is
a growing sentiment that advertising
Oregon is not going lo help the farmer,
and the farmer is the man who of all
Oregonians needs help the worst. Ad
vertising Oregon will bring the peeple
here, but that is not what is wanted
just yet, so much as transportation
facilities by those already here. With
an open river we have unlimited room
for immigrants, but with the present
transportation facilities immigrants are
not wanted. The railroads are unable
to carry to the seaboard the produce
raised in Eastern Oregon and Washing
ton now. What would be the result
with double the amount produced? We
want an open river, we want good wagon
roads, we want our mountains made
passable and communities connected,
we want many things for the benefit of
"we the people" who are here now. It is
not to be doubted that a good exhibit at
Chicago would redound to Oregon's
credit and benefit. No manjno news
paper man especially will gainsay the
power and profit of advertising. W
certainly do not, but at the same time
we assert that Eastern Oregon at least
is not prepared for any extended immi
gration, until the river is open, and
abundant transportation facilities fur
nished. When we have these we are
ready to advertise,but not nntiVourgoodi
are on the shelves, and we are ready for
business. The following telegram from
Tacoma on the 13th is apropos :
Tacoma, Jan. 13. A large percentage
of the wheat raised in Eastern Washing
ton is being shipped east to Duluth and
Minneapolis, because there are no facili
ties on the weastern coast to handle it
All the eidetracks between here and
Pasco are full of wheat cars, and so are
the vards here. The railroad hasn'
enough cars to haul it because the ship
pers cannot unload them after they get
here. Most of the wheat has left the
Palouse country, though it will continue
lo come into iacoma tor some time yet,
It will be seen that the Northern
Pacific has flooded Tacoma with wheat.
and the immense surplus is glad to seek
a market at Dnluth or bt. Paul even
though the long haul cuts deeply into
the profits. In the face of such a condi
ti n do we need to advertise?
Silver is in the saddle and is riding

it fell on ears that cared not to hear it.
and whose owners were already detir
mined to have free coinage. Ingalls of
Kansas made a bitter speech, arrainging
the independent politicians, and the bill
of 1873 demonetizing silver, for being
responsible for all the evils financial
political and otherwise with which the
country has to contend, but he voted for
the bill and against his own convictions
too, in order to appease the wrath of his
constituents. There is pot much time
to work the bill through the house, and
it is barely possible that it may get its
death blow there. If it does not, Presi
dent Harrison's back bone is going to
get a severe wrench, for it will take gen
uine grit to veto it. With the present
sentiment of the people, we do not
believe he will dare do so, and if he
does, the republican party will have as
hard a fight on their hands as the dem
ocracy had on Cleveiands position on the
tariff bill.

A Bloody Duel Fought In North
Una With Knives.
1 -' Chablotte, N, C, Jan. 16. One of
the boodiest duels ever fought with
knives took place yesterday afternoon
eight miles from) Morgan town. For
some time past Joe Harris, a young man
of some promise, suspected John Aiken
of being too intimate with his wife.
Yesterday afternoon they met in a pub
lic road. Harris at once informed Aiken
that one or the other of them must die.
Aiken tried to explain , saying the
reported criminal intimacy was nothing land i8 vith pArneii aad that
tion incapacitates all who have it from
labor, and it is worse with children.
Fortunately the duration of the ailment
is but a few days, and those who have
recovered say their eyes are unimpaired.
The doctors have no name for it, as the
disease is seemingly new and unheard-of
in this region.

General Miles has About Determined to
Shell the Camp of the Hostile.
Pike Kldgk, Jan. 16. This morning
it is reported on good authority that
General Miles ordered the civilians to

intended to disarm the Indians if he had
to shell their camp to accomplish his
purpose. .
- Adjutant-General Corbin was asked if
General Miles had issued such an order
but he would neither admit nor deny
that such determination had been de
cided upon. So long, he claimed, as

Indians there was no necessity to nee
force.

It is a hopeful and healthful siern of

all classes are giving serious thought to
the great social evils that deface our civ

raid upon the treasury. VV e tail per
haps to catch the drift of Mr. Samuel's
idea. If he means the female applicants
for clerk ship are buzzards, he is ungal
lant, and untruthful. We know of no
reason why a lady shall not apply for a
clerk ship, that would not apply with
equal force to the male applicant. The
remark is not flattering to the legisla
ture or the legislators individually,
since buzzards only gather around a
carcass after purification has taken
place, and putrification (this for Mr.
Samuels information) means rottenness.
On the same principal it might be said
of the West Stiore when its agents can
vass a town, that the buzzard desired
(for a consideration of course) to publish
a series of illustrations of the carcass.
We believe the ladies of Oregon have as
much right to the clerkships in the leg
islature, if they can get them, as their
brothers, and we fail to understand the
distinction which the gentleman under
takes to make, and at any rate consider
a she buzzard, just as fine a bird as a he
buzzard. w
Goldendale has passed an ordinanceli-

do not care what Goldendale does, but
we know that under the old law there
was about as mnch drinking done as if
the saloons were in full blast. The
Sentinel says the Mayor "will veto
the ordinance and that it will be impos
sible to pass it over his head, and thinks
the people should have a right to express
their opinion on the subject, and to this
end that the ordinance should not pass
until an election has been held and this
saloon question made an issue. It seems
to us that the whole question is "shall
the city have liquor sold within its limits,
with revenue or without."
THE GOVEKXOR'S MESSAGE.
The Oregonian backing Pennoyer for
the president has developed a sarcastic
vein of humor not customary in its col
umns. Robbed of verbiage, it recom
mends Pennoyer to the Democratic
party, because his views and ideas are
antiquated and circumscribed enough to
make him peculiarly fitted to represent
that party. In spite of this sarcasm, we
warn the brother to desist unless indeed
he desires to see a conflagration, for he is
fooling with a fire that may get beyond
his control. The sarcasm is patent
enough, but some folks wouldn't see
through a ladder, especially if they did
not care to know what was on the other
side. As a dark horse Pennoyer will cut
no small figure, and barring the question
of geography he is the most available
candidate his party has.

Congressman Hermann has made a

The Dalles, but failed. The house com

brief time remaining in the session will
probably prevent anything being done
with the bill.

The governor's message is too long for
us to reprint, but we give a synopsis,
which shows the principal ideas advanc
ed. After a tabulated statement of the
states expenditures, and a showing that
the state of Oregon did not owe a dollar ;
he further stated that the school fund,
per capita, had already increased from
75 cents in 1885, to $1.45 in 1890, and
the fund from $868,735,16 in that year to
$2,203,504.86, in 1891, and that the Agri
cultured college fund was now $130,289,
82, and the University fund $102,109.18
He recommends that the legislature pro
vide for the management of the reform
school, and that no further money be
given to the University or to the Agricul
tural college, for the reason that they
now have funds enough to maintain
tnem. rie asks the legislature to urge
our congressmen to procure an appropri
ation for building the portage railroad at
The Dalles, and for improving the chan
net of the lower Columbia, and suggests
that the legislature provide for purchas
ing the Willamette canal and locks in
1892, as per arrangement at the time
they were built. He recommends that
but one mode of catching salmon should
be allowed, and that by nets. He sug
gests that whatever assessmentlaw is
adopted that it should provide for
sworm listed statement rrom each prop
erty owner of all his property real and
personal, with adequate penalties for
refusing. That a sufficient state revenue
could be raised by a poll tax of $2 and a
graduated income tax of all incomes ex
ceeding $1,000, and a tax upon the gross
receipts of express, telegraph, telephone
and insurance companies. Indorses the
exemption law as it now is, and the mort
gage tax law he thinks is a just measure,
He believes that if any change is made
in the usury laws, that it should only
be to provide a lower rate of interest.
He suggests that there is no need of com
missioners, and that the boards of
railroad commissioners and fish com
missioners be abolished. He thinks it
would be wise to make all county offi
cers salaried, and provide for their turn
ing their fees over 10 the counties. He
calls attention to the fact that the three
political parties were pledged to the
adoption of the Australian ballot system
and insists that it should therefore be
ed unanimously. He also gives
rortiana a small reminder by saying
that the proposition to issue non-taxable
bonds was settled at the last elec
tion, fie advises the passage of a
registration law. He is of the opinion
that the taxing of the people to pay
premiums at the district fairs is unjust,
and while it is within the power of the
legislature to grant the appropriations
that it shouid not be done ; and that
while it is unjust to tax the people for
this purpose, it would be much more
unjust to raise money to be expended at
fairs outside of the state, and he there
fore does not think the state should ex
pend any sum at Chicago. Laws should
be passed fixing the maximum rates
which railroad and telegraph companies
may charge, and asserts that a provision
should be made for arbitrating differ
ences between railroad companies and
their employes, and preventing railroad
companies employing armed forces to
intimidate employes or strikers. The
governor digresses to haul the United
States courts over the coals in a manner
pleasing tb himself, and harmless to the
courts, and concludes as follows:
As the people of Oregon are as ma
terially affected by federal as by state
legislation, it is perfectly proper that the
legislative assembly, by joint resolution,
give instructions to our delegation in
congress concerning measures of federal
legislation affecting the people of its
commonwealth, especially in regard to
the loiiowing matters ot great import
ance : More stringent legislation for the
exclusion of the pauper hordes of China ;
the imposition of a graduated income
tax by which the wealth of the country.
now entirely exempted, will be compelled
to bear its just share of the public burden ;
the farther adjustment of our revenue
laws by which all tariff taxation shall be
removed from the necessaries of life and
placed alone upon luxuries ; the forfeiture
01 ail railroad land grants not earned
within the time required by law : pro
visions for the forfeiture of the charters
of the several bond-aided Pacific railroad
companies for their non-compliance with
law, and for either the sale of such roads
to realize pavment of the debt owing to
the united btates or lor the assumption
of ownership and management thereof
by the government ; a postal telegraph
bv which the government by the exercise
ot its constitutional functions can relieve
the business of its own departments and
the business of the country from the ex
actions of a most unscrupulous monop
oly ; unalterable opposition to the grant
ing of subsidies upon any pretext what
ever; unyielding resistance to the control
of the ballot box by federal judges : the
abolition of federal inferior courts, or the
verv material restriction of their juris
diction : the free coinage of silver ; the
issuance of the government direct of all
money of the country; the denial to the
national banks of the special privilege
now granted them 0 being furnished
with money without interest ; the dis
continuance of the unjust policy by the
last federal administration, and 'followed
by the present one, of placing with the
banks a large portion of the surplus,
wrung frqm the people by unnecessary
taxation, without any charge for interest ;
the providing for the loaning of money
by the government upon the improved
farm property of the country, as is now
successfully done with more than $2,000
000 of the educational funds of Oregon,
at a low rate of interest, for the benefit
of the many, and the discontinuance of
loans to the banks upon what the govern
ment owes, without interest, for the en
richment of the few.
There can be no more commendable
way for us who have been entrusted with
the law-making power of this common
wealth to show our gratitude to our con
stituency for the trust confided to us
than the enactment of wise and un
necessary laws. Let us act in the fear of
God and without the fear of man, always
mindful of the cardinal rule, that no tax
should be laid upon the people that is
not equal, or for any purpose other than
a frugal administration of the govern
ment in its full conservation of the
general good. Sylvester Pennoyer.

THE LATEST STRIKE.
Both Sides Claim to be Gaining Strength.
Chicago, Jan. 17. The striking tele
