THE SENATOR MUST TRY AGAIN.
Whether the communication, in last
evening's Timet-Mountaineer, is intended
as a justification of Senator Hilton, or
covert attack upon A. G. Johnson, and
Senator Watkins' other "clerk of com
mittee' V is hard to tell. It reminds
us a good deal of a sailor, many years
ago,- in Portland who hired a horse from
a livery man, and after he was saddled,
jumped astride with his face to the tail,
The stable keeper remonstrated, but the
sailor only answered. "Young man you
don't know what direction I am going.
Mr. Johnson is abundantly able to take
care of himself and we hope he may do
so. but the Chronicle has a few words
to say about the "other clerk."
It is a little singular that, not with
standing all that we have written on the
record of Senator Hilton, during the last
legislature, he should single out this one
solitary paragraph for attack. We say
"he" for the letter we are" commenting
on was either written by the senator or
written at his dictation. Were all the
other charges some of them gravely im
peaching his very manhood, true,and this
only false? It would, indeed seem so,
for the senator is not slow to appear in
print in his own defense, when he has
anything to defend. A few days ago, we
clipped from the columns of the Fossil
Journal and published in the Chbonicli,
a fear lines reflecting on the Gilliam
county representatives for not making
an effort to have a bill passed to fix the
wages of the stock inspector, which the
people of that county considered to high.
We, of course supposed the charge was
true.. In the next copy of the Journal
there was a letter by Senator Hilton ex
plaining that, a bill, introduced by him,
to effect the end desired by the people
of Gilliam, had actually passed both
houses' and- was now a law.
Assuming the letter to be true, we
promptly made amends in the Chboni
cli of last evening, in ' the following
words:
Senator Hilton has written to the Fos
sil Journal, in answer to charges made
in that paper that the representatives
from Gilliam county would find it hard
to explain their action in regard to a
bill for the regulation of the salary of
the Gilliam county stock inspector. "The
senator explains that he introduced a
bill, which has become a law, which
the county court of
regulate
the
Gil-
of
provides that
ham county may
themselves. .
This is our answer to the charges
"complete unfairness in this, as well as
in other criticisms of our delegation.
We say now, once for, all, that we never
wrote a line concerning the record of our
representatives, that we did not then,
and do not now '-believe to be true,
and ' when '- we discovered, that . the
charges- of the Fossil Journal were
without foundation we promptly pub
lished a correction. We go further: if
in any' essential manner, we have said
one word about the record of our repre
sentatives .that is not as true as it is true
that the heavens are stretched above the
earth, the columns of the Chboxiclb
are at their service,and we are more than
ready to make reparation. It is said,
"the editor of the Uhboxiclk knows, or
should know, better than almost anyone
else, whether the bill was enrolled and
sent to the Governor." The editor of
the Chronicle did not know, and it was
' none of hia business to know anything
about any bill, except such as were plac
ed in his hand for enrollment ; and Sena
tor Hilton knows this as well as any one.
It was the business of the chief clerk
alone, and as many as from ten to twen
ty sub-clerks were at one time or another
; employed.
The apologist of Senator Hilton really
must try again.
mense. They buy up judges and juries,
till tha difficulty of a poor man getting
common justice, where a railroad com
pany is defendent, has, in many instan
ces, become proverbial. If judges and
juries cannot be bought, their corporate
wealth secures delays that the poor man
cannot brook. Their hired attorneys
and lobbyists are in every legislature,
and in every committee of every legisla
tore, where work, in their interest, is
needed to be done. It is scarcely so
true that they buy up legislatures as it
is that they own them. No measure
beneficial to the masses can possibly be
carried, if it is, at all disadvantageous
to them. Is it a railroad commission,
or legislation tending to increase a com
mission effectiveness for good; then
they will demand and obtain, not open
ly, it is true, but through the secret
working that they know so well, either
a good law with a corrupt commission,
or a good commission and an inefficient
law. The one will serve their purpose
quite as well as the other, and one or
other they must have. Their influence
is all pervading, from the political prim
ary to the White House. Is it a ques
tion of competition, then, their immense
moneyed power will crush, where it can
not by off. Is it the opening of a great
river to free navigation, where they have
monopoly and control then heaven and
earth must be compassed for its defeat.
There is a monotony in this obtrusive
ness. The massess are sick and weary
and disgusted. No wonder, therefore,
that the more radical, always the Tan of
the army of reform, are demanding gov
ernment control.
RECIPROCITY.
The reciprocity clause in the McKin
ly tariff act is undoubtedly popular
among the manufactures of the United
States. It is expected to greatly
crease our export trade with those na
tions which may embrace its provisions
The late announcement of a reciprocity
agreement between this country and the
government of Brazil has . thoroughly
roused the English manufactures, at
Manchester, who declare that the meas
ure will inevitably result in cutting off a
large part of their trade, unless they are
given similar advantages, under the
reciprocity clause, the president is em
powered to decide whether the tariff laws
of any foreign nation are unfriendly or
the reverse. If he decides them to be
unfriendly, in that case, the law imposes
a duty on articles of commerce, which
may be on the general free list, when
they come from a country whose tariff
system is hostile to the introduction of
American products. In the case of
Brazil an agreement has been entered
into, bv which that country admits free
salary 0f ditty, or at modified rates, imports
from the United States of wheat, corn
and other grains, flour, meal, potatoes,
hay, salt, pork, hams, lard, coal, aggi
cultural implements, nearly all kinds of
machinery, leather, manufactures of
cotton, manufactures of iron and steel,
wagons, carriages, and manufactures of
india-rubber. In exchange for these
advantages, granted bv Brazil, the
United States admits from that country,
free of import duty, sugars, molasses,
coffee and hides. Hitherto this country
has been buying nearly one third of all
Brazil had to sell, and nearly nil her
coffee crop. Of the articles she - how
proposes to admit, free of duty or at
modified rates, Brazil has been import
ing from all countries, on the average,
sixty million dollars worth yearly, while
THANKS.
It is due to Major Handbury, the gov
ernment officer, in charge of the construc
tion of the Cascade Locks, to say, that
ever since he was first consulted, by any
persons having authority in connection
with the portage railroad, he has mani
fested . the utmost cordiality, and his
perfect willingness to co-operate with
the state, in the furtherance of that
- work. ; When the joint committee of the
two states met at Portland, his full
knowledge of all matters relating to the
depth of water below the lower gate of
the locks, where the western terminus of
the portage must be located, the diffi
culties connected with securing a good
wharfage, and the practicapability, and
probable cost of the road, were of great
service to our committee, in settling all
difficulties raised by those who were
apparently working in the interest of
parties opposed to the portage railroad.
He" even went beyond this in suggesting
that ' the general government should
build the road, because of the advantages
they, themselves, might derive from it ;
and when the portage commission lately
conferred with him in Portland, he con
firmed these assurances of his good will
. by suggesting to them also that the gov
ernment build "a good substantial
. standard gauge road," so that the $60,000
appropriation might be exclusively de
voted to wharves and rolling stock. For
these courtesies Major Handbury de
serves the cordial thanks of the people
who expect to profit by the portage road,
and so far as the Cuboniclb may be per
mitted to speak for them, he has them,
of this sum the United States only
received an average of about six millions.
Of cotton goods alone, the Brazilian duty
which is reduced twenty five percent
in favor of the United States, Brazil has
been buying from European manufac
turers twenty million dollars worth an
nually, while from this country she only
received half a million. The advantage
that this system gives to our manufac
turers is apparent, and unless Brazil
makes similar arrangements with other
nations the United Mates will have an
advantage over all European countries.
The local market review is devoid of
interest, business has continued quiet
and transactions of any magnitude have
been very limited. The roads into the
interior are in fair condition for this
season of the year. The farming class
are industgously making preparations
for a large acreage of grain.
- Real Estate. We note increased
activity in outside property, new addi
tions to the city being laid out. At
present the attention of investors is be
ing attracted to the western part of
town where a large new addition' has
been laid out on the George Snipes
tract. Several transfers of lots in the
military reservation addition have been
made during the past few days at good
prices. All inside property remains
firm with no changes to report.
The stock market is quiet, as
is the grain. A large number
of vessels are arriviug in . Port
land in quest of wheat cargoes for the
United Kingdom. Prices have made a
slight advance since our last report.
Eastern Oregon wheat is quoted at 130
to 1.35 with a steady market. Whether
that means a further advance dealers are
very reticent about answering in the af
firmative or negative. The Dalles mar
ket quotations are nominal, say from 58
60 cents.
In New York and Chicago the
fluctuations are of the same old re
port, as well as the European quo
tations, which are governed by the num
ber of cargoes off the coast and in sight.
The live stock market is not as active
as it was for the week previous for ship
ment. The demand is easily supplied
with prime beeves arid mutton for the
home market. Our dealers quote an
advance . of cents per pound for fat
cattle, and of a cent for prime hogs.
Veal is in good demand at 5 cents for
heavy to 7 cents for light, with a good
Inquiry as the supply is insufficient.
The vegetable market is still very strin-.
gent with a very limited supply in sight.
Cabbage is not in the market and sells
freely at 22J cents per pound. Pars
nips and turnips are in demand and the
market is almoet without supply. A
greater inquiry is made each day for all
kinds of table vegetables, than formerly.
Chicago and New York grain quota
tions are as fluctuating as formerly,
with encouraging futures. Chicago's
May delivery quotation is 1.03; New
York, 1.06.
Portland's market reports an advance
with a firmer tone. Its quotations for
Valley is quoted $1.3T(ai.37) ; Eastern
Oregon, 1.301.35.
Dalles market has been more quiet
with a slight advance since last week,
quote, .60 for No. 1 ; .58 for No. 2.
Oats The oat market is very quiet
and offerings limited at quotations with
an upward tendency. We quote, extra
clean $1.50 per cental and inferior $1.35
1.40 per cental."
Barley There is nothing doing in
barley. There is none offering. Quote
prime brewing $1.051.10, feed $1.00
1.05 per cental, sacked.
Flour Best brands $3.75(51400 per
barrel.
Millstcffs The supply is quite suffi
cient for the demand. We quote bran
and shorts $20.00 per ton. ' Shorts and
middlings $22.50$24.00 per ton.
Hay The recent storm has effected the
market somewhat and hay has met with
activity in sales, and the stock on hand
is reduced, with a limited supply in
sight. An advance is looked for in the
early spring. Quote, timothy, $17.00

RECORD
Last words of John B. Cough.
CARRIE E. WALTON.
"Boys, keep your record clean."
The lips of the speaker arc mute.
Mat hix words are still warning the boy
To stop in their mad pursuit;
To stop, I say. In their mad pursuit
Of wealth and honor and fame.
To think of the devious winding way
By which they shall reach the same.
Boys, keep your record clean, '
Your lips unstained by sin,
Your lips as the lilies arc.
And a heart as pure within.
Fair as the rlnrln suow,
Spotless and pndefllcd,
Though around you the world is bright.
Or the pitiless storms beat wild.
As yon go out into the world,
Uo with a purpose true,
io with a sturdy, resolute will:
Be one of the manly few.
Ever do that which is right,
Scom to do that which is mean,
And as you go through peace and strife,
"Boys, keep your record clean."
THE PINKERTONS.
It is said that New York is about to
pass an act making it unlawful for the
Pinkertons to do business in that state,
We presume ft is intended to prohibit
them, not from acting as detectives, but
from exercising the functions proper to
a state militia. This is in every way as
it should be. No private armed force,
not tinder state control, should ever be
permitted to supercede, or exercise the
function of a legally constituted militia.
Too often the Pinkertons have been used
bv corporate power, for the purposes of
oppression. TBe bare possibility, of a
body of men, irresponsible to the consti
tuted authorities, arid not nnder their
control, being so used, is a simple out
rage. The states are, everywhere able,
on all ordinary occasions, to maintain
the peace. But if not, there is a
remedy, and this remedy is not the hir
ing of a band of irresponsible mercen
aries to do a work, as it often happens,
that no state militia would stoop to do,

the failure of the potato crop and the

Districts in which the disease appears
comprises about half of Ireland and is due
to planting old champion seeds in light,

distress is aggravated by the reluctance

A gentleman of the Yankee persuasion

the allusion to the "Kilkenny Cats," in
the letter of "Subscriber," published in

answer was as follows :

And they clawed and they fit

And the tips of their tails
Instead of two cats there warn't any."

Editor of The Sun : .
f lease permit me, through the columns
I of your paper, to call attention to some
notable facts connected with the war
which has been coiner on between nnr
respective dailies.
For the first time in the history of our
great country have two foreign powers
been known to engage in warfare over
American productions. And what is
still more surprising is to see a thorough
bred Englishman hoist the white flair at
the first volley, (after having skirmished
along the line for several days humming,
"Fefofum. I'll have the blood of an
Irishman,") and leave the brave Irish
man master of the situation, weilding
his powerful sword, ready to purify Ore-
gon politics, and if Her Majesty's gov
ernment wishes to arbitrate the Behring
sea troubles, lie will settle them to the
tune of "Johnny Come Running Home."

A Great Lady.
A great lady, in two senses, is Mrs.
Villard (Miss Garrison, of Boston), who
is now residing fn Berlin. She was in
vited recently to assist in the fair for the
charitable foundation patronized by the
crown princess of Prussia, and was asked
to fill the part of a barmaid. There are
numerous shining examples of Ameri
cans in London having been "cast" for
such a part in that city, for the sale of
"American 'drinks" so called. Mrs. Vil
lard, being on sufficiently friendly terms
with the crown princess to state her ob
jections, did so. and declined to assist in
such an occupation, even for charity's
sake. It is said that an apology was
made to her, but for that we do not
vouch. She afterwards took her place
in the fair at a buffet, where there was
nothing objectionable in the service,
and it was noticed that the crown prince
and princess were frequent patrons at
her table. How many "spoiled Ameri
cans" there are who would have been so
flattered at the request of royalty or so
anxious to be noted among the serene
highnesses in attendance as to lose sight
altogether of the part they were required
to play. A lady lending herself to the
sale of American drinks to any comers,
recommending the "virtues of mashes
and cobblers," is, unfortunately, not an
impossiuie sigui at, an cuusn iair,
Mrs. Villard has set the fashion of de
clining to. be barmaid either in the
American or English line of business.
The Christian Woman.
Mrs. Villard, who is a daughter of the
celebrated philanthropist, William Loyd
Garrison, is very kindly remembered by
the members of the W. C. T. U. because
she donated one hundred dollars to the
free reading room of The Dalles.

Seattle, March 10. The report that
the steamer Buckeye had been lost near
Edmoud's with twenty passengers aboard
was disproved this morningby the arrival
of the steamer safe and sound. The non
arrival of the vessel when due and the
washing ashore of a quantity of vegeta

rise to the report. It iiOw transpires
that when the storm arose, the Buckeye

not make the return trip until yesterday
morning.

John SI. Palmer Elected Senator from
Illinois Today. -
Sprisgfield, III., March 11. General
Palmer was elected United States senator
today on the first ballot to succeed Chas.
B. Farwell.
A verification of the roll call showed
that every republican voted for Iindlcy
and every democrat for Palmer. "On
this 154th ballot," said Speaker Craft,
"the whole number of votes cast are 204,
necessary to choice 103, of which John
M. Palmer has received 103 votes, (dem
ocratic cheers) A. J. Streeter one vote
and Cicero J. Liiwlley 100 votes and I
hereby declare John M. Palmer duly
elected United States senator."
Palmer was then introduced and spoke
ns follows: "Gentlemen of the thirty
seventh general assembly, I feel more
like saying, 'ain't I glad to get out of
this wilderness.' 1 thank you 104
members for vindicating the rights of
the people by a pleurality of the votes
that expressed the desire of the people to
select a senator and the election is his
torical. You men who bave labored so
long to elect your independent candidate
also deserve my thanks (applauseO My
republican friends, I thank yon too. I
thank you that the contest has been free
from personalities." (Applause.)
When the vote was progressing, Rep
resentative Tanbereck, the only one of
farmers who did not vote for the demo
crats, said : "I vote i for A. J. Streeter,
the nominee of the 'F. M. B. A.,"
and dropping into his seat burst into
tears. It was sincere sorrow, nobody
doubted, and cheer after cheer from the
republican side rewarded his loyalty to
his party nominee.
John McCaulley Palmer, was born in
Scott county, Kentucky in 1817. In
1831 he emigrated to Madison county,
Illinois, and during the summer of 1838
he commenced the study of law. He
was admitted to the bar the following
year. At the commencement of the reb
ellion he was elected colonel of the 14th
Illinois infantry, and during the war
took an active part in many of its most
important engagements. For gallant
services under General Sherman he was
made major-general. Palmer held the
office as governor of Illinois froni 1809
to 1872 as a republican, but his political
course during the term was such as to
alienate him from his party and his ac
ceptance as a democrat, which he lias
been ever since.

When you run up the bunting, remem
ber that it was the steady going old Puri
tan Sabbath that hatched te Fourth of
Julv. The day we celebrate, dearly be
loved was not born in a Chicago beer
dive on a Sunday afternoon." Patriot.
