THE
LESSON OF OUR
SENTATIVES.
REPRE-
The lesson taught by the success of the
anti Moody ticket yesterday should not
be lost upon our representatives whether
state or national. At the last legislature
nothing passed current except it was
coined in the Moody mint. Anything
- that Moody asked was granted, anything
that the people demanded was denied,
The humiliating sight of fifteen citizens,
representing fairly the wealth and worth
of The Dalles at the last legislature,
begging and entreating the creatures
whom their votes had made their repre
sentatives to grant them the passage of
bills endorsed by the common council, by
the chamber of commerce and by the
representatives of three-fourths of the
city's wealth, will never be forgotten by
those who were eyewitnesses. We re
member the rude denial of redress with
out the Moody council and concurrence,
the refusal of the legislature to grant us
common justice, its readiness to believe
a lying and contemptible scrap of an ir
responsible newspaper, because Moody
approved it, while it turned a deaf ear
to the letters and petitions of a hundred
of pur best citizens all because, for
sooth, the petitioners and lobbyists were
but the representatives of a faction at
once ineignificaut and arLinfluential. Let
our representatives know that what was
done yesterday could have been done,
with proper organization at anytime for
the past five years and that what the
city has done the county will endorse
at the. next state election. Even at the
last state election, without any special
effort whatever being made against the
boesism of M. A. Moody he was unable
to secure a solid delegation from a single
precinct in the county. While he carried
The Dalles primary by the same nefar
ious methods he adopted last Saturday
night, he was unable to control nearly
the half of the men he was obliged to
put on. his ticket. Our representatives
will do well to note that the people of
The Dalles and Wasco county want no
more of Boss Moody. They have had
. all they want of him already. They
have weighed him him in the balance
and found him wanting in everything
but an unswerving devotion to his own
selfish interests. When a house is about !
to fall wise men will stand from under
The men defeated yesterday were de
feated because they were his nominees
and for no other reason. Not a breath
of suspscion taints the character of any
of them. The city would delight to
honor the names of such men as Judge
Condon and Judd Fish and the same is
true of all the rest. And the city would
honor itself in honoring them, while all
their personal popularity could not elect
.them, as the friends of Malcolm
Moody. v , , ;
YESTERDAY'S VICTORY.
.We nave met the enemy ana tney are
ours.' The issue was squarely Moody or
-anti-Moody and the freemen of The
. Dalles have risen in their might and
routed Moody, horse, foot and dragoons,
It was no question of the character of
-'the men on the Moody ticket. They
were all, without exception, honorable
and honest citizens, men who would
- have adorned any position to which the
people might have called them ; but they
were Moody men and the people did not
wan't Moody and they said so yesterday,
in terms not to be mistaken. It is more
than a defeat, it is a rout, it is more
than a victory it is a triumph, it is more
than a conquest, it is a Waterloo,
Every man on the citizens' ticket is
elected. The pride of boesism is broken
and the imperialism of the dictator
rebuked. The damning ou trage of stuff
ing the primary with stockmen from
Crook county, sheep herders from Ante
lope and boys yet in their teens from
Dalles has been resented. The infamy
of delayed public improvements, a peo
ple robbed of the use of a hundred thous
and dollars through frivolous and im
pertinent vetoes while a bank was en
riched, a defeated charter bill and
water' bill amended to suit the exigen
cies of a selfish imperealism, a deaf legis
lature and an insulting" representation
all" have been remembered and the prime
mover in the infamous drama with all
bis abettors has been hurled into the
vortex of a political grave while twice
thbhsand voices in The Dalles and Wasco
county exclaim, may there never . be
resurrection.
THE WIRE WORM.
Some time ago the editor of the
Chronicle sent to Professor Washburn
the state entomologist a few of the cat
worms that play such - havoc on our
spring grain. A letter just received says,
"The worms you have just sent me are
wire worms' or the larvae which will
'. produce the 'click beetles' or snapping
beetles, so called because if yon place
tbem upon their backs they will throw
themselves over on their feet with
clicking sound. They live in the larval
stage (L e. as wire worms), for two
years. They abound in sod and clover
land and are pests not easy to get rid of.
The adnlt beetles lay their eggs some
time between March and September.
It is practically useless to sow a crop
after they have destroyed one. Burning
. the stubble and destroying by burning
alt rubbish stacks, etc., in a field in the
fall will doubtless destroy many eggs.'
The professor advises the farmer to ex
amine a field in the spring before plant
ing it and if worms are found there,
either to summer fallow or plant it in
crop distasteful to the worm. The
trouble with the first suggestion is that
summer fallowing does not seem to di
minish their numbers. A writer in the
American Agricullurut recently said that
"you . may summer fallow land for
twenty years and you won't destroy the
worm." For fields the professor has no
practical remedy suitable to the con
ditions prevailing in Eastern Oregon.
For gardens be suggests cutting potatoes
into pieces two inches square, and after
catting out the eyes, sticking the pieces
of potatoes on small sticks, six inches ;
A HOPEFUL SIGN.
One of the most hopeful signs of the
times lies in the fact that the party badge
sits lightly on the shoulders of the voter
of the present day. He is doing con
siderable thinking on his own account.
The chain that binds the people to the
old party bosses are no longer made of
steel but of sand. The result of the elec
tion in Portland and The Dalles last
Monday is but one more illustration
what is going on everywhere. No more
important event in the interest of the
state has happened for many a day than
that which happened when Joe Simon
and Jim Loton were both hurled into
one common vortex. Let the good work
go on. If the republican party desire to
maintain supremacy in this state they
must finish, at the first opportunity,
what the consolidated city has begun
Let that partv repudiate both Simon
and- Loton by reading them outside.
The party will then breath easier and
will have a rieht to live which thous
ands else will not accord to it.
WE OWE PORTLAND NOTHING.
Just how much Portland wants
open river may be gathered from the
fact that she has Quietly sat at the
mouth of the Willamette , and allowed
the Union Pacific to circumvent every
effort to eet connection on the lower
river for the boat now being built atth:
place. When The Dalles had gone be
vond her means to eet connections with
Portland, we would not have thanked
Portland to have built a boat to make
this connection. Well, we will have
boat on the lower river, in spite of the
Union Pacific and Portland's apathy
and when she gets her steam up she
mav sret her back up. at the same time
and run past Portland and on to Astoria.
At any rate she will owe nothing to
Portland and can go there or to Astoria
as suits her best.
AN IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN.
The most critical campaign in the his
tory of Ohio politics opened on Tuesday
when the gavel fell on the convention
that nominated by acclimation, William
McKmley for governor of that state,
The result of the contest will be watched
with very great interest by all parties,
The name of McKinley is so associated
with the protective principle that his de
feat will be accepted as the condemna
tion of that principle so far as Ohio is
concerned. The republicans enter the
campaign with the advantage of unity
and enthusiasm, and no doubt every de
vise known to modern politics will be
used by both parties to win a favorable
verdict from the people.
The organ of the defunct reminiscence
when it began to sniff defeat in the am
bient air of yesterday afternoon com
forted itself with this reflection, which
is about as near the truth as it ever gets
"There being nothing at stake the peo
ple were apethetic ' regarding the
election." No statement could be farther
from the truth. There never was an
election in this city more hotly contested
and the number of votes cast, completely
demonstrates that the people were any
thine but apethetic. in the very same
column and refering also to the election
these words are used, "The greatest
excitement prevailed in the city today,
This paragraph was evidently written in
the morning when the brother was
flushed with the hope of victory. Now
you pay your money and take your
choice.
Notwithstanding the predictions that
onr protective system would handicap
American maunfacturers in competing
with European products in the markets
of the world our exports of mowers and
reapers for the month of March last
were valued at $427,115 as against $353-,
909 in the same month of 1890, and onr
exports of manufactured products
amounted to $14,726,817 against $11,030,
379 in March 1891.
The Timet-Mountaineer referring to
yesterday '8 election says : "The faction
in every instance attempted to hide their
animus in the municipal fight that of
controlling city affiairs." And, pray,
what did tne defunct reminiscence

A New Arrangement.
EditorXhbonicle : For sometime
it
has been evident to many of our citizens
that our town needs another night
watchman as one is not enough to pro
tect lives and property. Our town is
strung out over a large area of hillsides
rock bluffs and river bank varying in
altitude as high as three hundred feet
above the' river level. One man, to 'do
his best, unhindered by disturbances,
cannot patrol even the business portion
of town of a night as other cities of our
size are. now, while times are dull, sup
pose our council appoint another night
watchman and do. away with the office
of street commissioner, making the day
officer act as street commissioner, to re
port needed repairs or improvements
and hire workment to do the work as the
council may direct. Certainly the addi
tional duties of the day officer or citv
marshal will not make his work very
arduous as the additional force, at night
will tend to preserve better order and
fewer offenses will be committed at night,
each man being in different parts of the
town and crossing beats, no nre can
occur without the alarm being instantly
(riven. At train time one officer can be
at the train while the other keeps his
beat. The same can be done when one
makes an arrest and leaves his regular
beat. This is business.

A BOY OF HIS WOKI).
Yon may sing of the heroes of yore.
You may speak of the deeds they have done.
Of the foes they have slain by .he score.
Of the glorious battles they've won ;
You may seek to eternize their fame.
And It may be with goodly success:
But it is not the warrior's name
That my heart and my spirit would bless,
Though oft at their mention my soul bath been
stirred,
Yet dearer to me Is the boy of his word.
You may speak of the great ones of earth.
Of prelates, of princes, aliasings;
1 doubt not there's something of worth
In the bosom of all human things:
But dearer to me than the whole
Pageantry, splendor and pride,
Is the boy with a frank, honest soul,
Who never bis word hath belied.
Yes, prized above all that this earth'ean"anbrd,
Though lowly and poor, is the boy of his word.
The eeneral committee of work for
boys in the United States and Canada
have issued an appeal to the benevolent
people of America for practical sympathy
and aid in the work of saving the street
bovs in the cities. This work has been
in operation now three years and a half.
Over 13,000 boys have been gathered
into the rooms. The work is among the
most neglected class. The rooms are in
charge of a superintendent and are sup
plied with attractive games and inter
esting books, and admission is free to all
the boys of the city. There are classes
in carpentry, wood-carving, clay-modeling,
etc. The saving of boys who have
been brought before the police courts, is
the especial object of the society. The
superintendents visit the courts daily in
pursuance of that object and where it is
possible take charge of the boys and fur
nish them employment. This
committee is composed of prominent
men from different parts of the United
States and Canada. They are desirous
of establishing similar agencies in as
many localities as possible.
Rev. Dr. R. S. Storrs, -of Brooklyn,

How to Decline a treat.
The following conversation was heard
between two collegians, who were dis
cussing a class dinner :
"Of course," said one (with a conse
quential touch of self complacency and
patronage which students call 'fresh,'
and which only length of days can cure),
"if a fellow basn t wit enough to know
when to stop, he'd better be careful at
first. Some heads are built weak, you
know."
"Careful in what?" interpolated I,
and both laughed.
"W hy, drinking of course, said the
speaker. "A fellow has to take his seas
oning sooner or later. Some stand it.
Some can not. Some ran not, at least
for a while."
He was. as I have intimated, a fresh
man. His friend, a bearded senior, the
only son of a rich man, slapped him
eood-houmoredly on the shoulder:
"When l was your age, oia leuow, my
father said to me, 'If I had my life to
live over, I would never take a glass of
wine or smoke a cigar.' I answered. It
would be foolish not to proht by' what
such a sensible man says.' I have never
tasted wine or touched tobacco, and
am glad of it gladder every day I live,
I might have been 'built' with a strong
head and then, again 1 might not."
"What do you say when you are of
fered a treat?"
'I say, 'No, thank you, I never take
it. Generally that settles the matter
quietly."
"And it tney poke fun at your"
"I let them 'poke,' and then stand
ready to put them to bed when their
heads srive out."
There are for the comfort of mothers
be it said many "fellows" strong
enough to maintain this stand, and sen
sible enough to see that the risks are not
worth taking. It is the fool who meddles
with fire-arms, the "coward who carries a
loaded revolver. Home Maker.

Successful Grafting of Skin.
Kansas Crrv, Mo.. June 14. A suc
cessful grafting of skin sufficient to
patch up two legs was completed here
yesterday. A year ago A. C. Fulkerson
stepped into a vat of boiling grease.
The flesh of both legs from the knees
down was cooked away. The only
method of repairing the damaee was bv
grafting skin from human beings upon
the injured members, one hundred
nd sixtv persons. Odd Fellows and
Knights of Pythias, of which organiza
tions Fulkerson wss a member, .contrib
uted portions of their, anatomy to be
used in piecing up Fulkerson 's wounds.
The grafts were about 1000 in number
and a majority of the cases were success
ful. Fulkerson was out today enjoying
the use of both limbs.
The Company Disbands.
It now appears that the Pendleton
militia company is defunct for good and
all. The company was disbanded this
morning by Colonel Houghton, who
came up from The Danes tor tpat pur

place was a failure, since so little inter

presented and adopted.
me committee on permanent organi
zation reported the name of General
Bushnell for permanent chairman.
The convention nomination was then
declared in order and ex-Governor
Foraker rose to present the name of
William McKinley for governor.
When he appeared the delegates fairly
went wild with enthusiasm. He said
"in part this, contest upon which we
are about to enter is in some respects of
unusual character. The contest involves
more than the governorship of Ohio. It
reaches into the national politics of the
United States. A senator will depend
upon its result. It will also determine
whether Ohio is to go into the great
national contest of 1892 at the head of
republican or democratic column. (Ap
plause.) We are proud of that conserva
tive, patriotic man, General Harrison,
who sits in the white house. (Applause)
We are proud too of that brilliant, mag
netic statesman who has taught law to
Europe with respect to America, James
G.Blaine." (Prolonged cheers with hat
tossing and fan waving for over a
minute.)
roraker moved that the rules be sus
pended and McKinley be nominated by
acclamation. The motion prevailed
unanimously amid the wildest cheering
and waving of hats. McKinley was
then presented to the convention as the
next governor of Ohio."
McKinley made a stirring speech
thanking the convention for the honor
of the nomination.
Senator Sherman was then called for
and spoke in eulogy of the republican
party and the McKinley bill.
The committee on resolutions then re
ported the platform which was adopted.

riage of General John M. Schofield, com

as consistent with the high rank of Gen
