SHIP BY THE "REGULATOR:
As rapidly as men and means can
' posh the work is the Regulator approach-
-' ing completion, and shortly after the
first day of August the handsome craft
will turn her prow toward the Cascades
loaded to the guards with wool for Port
land. The portage railroad at the Cas
cades will be finished and a gallant
steamer from below will meet the first
load from the Regulator and give it
quick transit to its destination. The
day that the first trip of the staunch
little craft makes the first trip will be
. the day on which a new era of commer
cial supremacy will dawn for The Dalles.
But to achieve the best results the mer
chants and shippers as well as the en
tire traveling public should give their
patronage entirely to the boats of The
Dalles, Portland and Astoria Navigation
company. Hot a pound of merchandise
lo or from Portland should be shipped
by the Union Pacific road or boat. The
freight rates will be dollars and dollars
per ton leas by the new line than by the
railroad as at present operated, but the
U. P. will undoubtedly meet the re
duced rates and no doubt in many in
' stances will give shippers better terms
than the Regulator folks can. But
such terms should not be accepted. To
a man our merchants should stand by
-the home company. No person who de
sires to live and do business in The
- Dalles can afford not to ship by the river.
If a merchant continues to patronize the
railroad after the home line is in opera
tion, the fact should be made known and
the patronage of the entire public be
'withdrawn from him until he comes in
" to line and does his share toward build
ing up the business of The Dalles. The
new boat line means cheaper freight
rates, and that means cheaper groceries
and goods for this section of the country
- and- higher prices for wheat, wool and
produce. That can only be accomplish
ed by giving the new line the patronage
it deserves and of right should have.
The line can not be ran if it is not pat
ronized, because the stockholders do
not expect to operate it for the mere
sport of running a steamboat, and un
less it can be made to pay it will not do
- the good to The" Dalles that it should.
.Let's all unite to make the line a suc
cess and everybody in this city and
the country tributary thereto, will gain
thereby.
The 'merchants of Portland as well
should give their patronage to The
Dalles' company's line. " It means in
. creased trade for the metropolis, in that
" theap rates will bring business there
that would go elsewhere. The wide
awake men of that city have subscribed
liberally to the capital stock of The
Dalles, Portland and Astoria Navigation
company and. will therefore throw all
.the business they can, to that line.. The
outlook seems to be very bright for the
company. '
The Salem Journal is reading is read
ing the riot act because the county court
of Marion county has refused to award
tne publication ot tne county com mis
sioners' proceedings to tne newspaper
having the largest circulation. The
Journal plainly intimates that the court
has matters which it wishes kept secret
or the printing would be awarded. We
are glad to say that Wasco county has a
wise and enlightened official in Judge
Thornbury, who held that the new law
went into effect on July 1st, and he with
the consent of the commissioners,
awarded the printing until the first of
January. There may possibly be some
question as to the legality of so doing,
but there is 'no question but what the
people should have complete knowledge
of the action of its board, and the only
way to make that known is by publica
tion of proceedings in some paper of gen
eral circulation, and the Chronicle
thinks the end jusifies the means. The
court is to be commended for its action
Ifshould be the work of a genuine and
noble patriotism to raise the life of the
nation to the level of its best privileges
to harmonize its general practice with
its abstract principles; to elevate in
struction into knowledge; to deepen
knowledge into wisdom ; to render that
knowledge and wisdom complete in
righteousness, and to make the love of
country complete in the love of man.

An alliance orator told the farmers
bedgwiclc, Kan., that "there was no
more reason why they should be repub
licans because their fathers were repub
licans than the should be bachelors 1
cause their fathers were bachelors."
There is no question but what the
merchants of The Dalles will do all of
their shipping from Portland by the
home line of steamers. They recognize
the fact that it is necessary to give the
company a substantial patronage. The
farmers of the interior should do their
share toward the support of the line,
The reduction in rates brought about by
the putting on of the boats means at
least three cents a bushel more for
wheat to those who ship from The Dalles
than would be possible if the boats were
not running. In order to keep the line
on and obtain the added price on - wheat
The Dalles, Portland and Astoria navi
gation company should be given every
pound of wheat to carry that seeks Port'
land or Astoria as an outlet. We hope
the farmers of the interior will unite in
their patronage of the boat company and
give the line the support which it de
serves. By a union of the merchant
and farmers of this section the new ven
ture can be made successful and sure of
being continued as a regulator of freight
rates on the Columbia.
Mosier Jottlings.
Mosieb, July 13.
Editor Chronicle. We have had
some pleasant showers which have done
much good.
The Fourth has passed with all its joys
and happy anticipations.
We hear of grand dinners partaken of
in Mosier, one at the residence of Mr,
Sellix. The repast was partaken of by
eighteen persons and was pronounced
superb.' A gentleman said it was by far
the best, with the greatest variety, that
he had ever sat down to in Oregon. A
picnic was also had in this vicinity which
seems to have been very luscious, for
even the tables groaned beneath the
beautiful fruit, the pies and cake, and
everything else that was good, but Oh,
dear me, the poor.
M. C. was in The Dalles partaking
largely of sand and dirt, being blown
hither and thither. But it is the Fourth
and we must not complain. All this
hurricane of dust did not prevent our
bearing and enjoying the beautiful mu
sic of the band to which much thanks is
due.
Mr. Easterbrook has left here for his
old home in Rhode Island, where he will
probably spend the remainder of his
davs. He takes with him the best
wishes of his friends here.
Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Sherman, of Mitch
ell, made a flying trip to Mosier, calling
on Mr. and Mrs. Root.
Our much respected friend, Mrs. Mo
sier, is quite out of health and has been
for some time. We hope she will recover
soon. jm.. J.
BONDED INDEBTEDNES.
The custom followed by many of the
counties of the neighboring state of
Washington in bonding their indebted
ness, has its merits, says the Jackson
ville Time. It relieves the present
generation from bearing alone the bur
den of developing the country, and
makes posterity, or its equivalent, pay a
certain proportion of the cost of the
many benefits they derive rrom the
labors of the pioneers. It has the effect
of making current county warrants pass
at their face value instead of at a ruin
ously heavy discount to which they are
often subjected under the system followed
in this state, and the county derives a
direct benefit from the fact for all ser
vices rendered it gets the benefit of ac
tual cash rates and cash competition.
A CHAPTER ON HUMAN NATURE.
An experience of over forty years has
: convinced ns that after all human na
ture is a queer thing. Each one sees in
each other the special vices or weak
nesses which is in himself. Thus if a
man is a natural prevaricator, he accuses
. every other person with whom he comes
.in contact with being a liar; if he
is at heart a thief he thinks every other
man a robber. So well is this truth rec
ognised that it has grown into a prov
erb that you must "set a thief to catch a
thief." You can tell in what a man's
weakness consists when he gets mad or
is engaged in heated debate. A cow
ard always accuses his opponent of be
ing cowardly, and if the accuser is a hyp
ocrite he accuses every other person
with hypocrisy; if he lacks charity no
one else posses that virtue. How many
times have we all seen men strongly un
der the influence of liquor accuse every
sober man they meet with being drunk.
. How well the Bible understood human
nature when it said, "Out of the full
ness of the heart the mouth speaketh."
A heart filled with love toward all man
kind sees beaming from every face he
meets the love and good fellowship he
feels toward- all people. If a man is
. looking only for kindness from the world,
as the reflex of bis own heart, he gener
ally gets it, for he is not looking for
lights or coldness, and people seeing the
love shining out of bis own face give
. Tove in return. - After all is said and
: done people : most generally in this
' world get what they are looking for.
Governor Pattison in vetoing the bill
on compulsory education, passed by the
Pennsylvania legislature, takes the
ground that the state has no right to
force an attendance at school where it
may interfere with paternal and individ
ual rights. The advantages of the free
school system are beyond question but
compulsion in educational matters is not
likely to be productive of the best results
Freedom of action in education when all
possible inducements are presented will
lead to greater advancement thaiwa law
compelling merely its outward observ
ance. The law cannot make a child
learn any more than a man can make a
horse drink when it is not dry. Create
a thirst for knowledge in the child and
it will then take advantage of the oppor
tunities the law provides. The driving
method of teaching has long since been
abandoned by the leading educators.

Mount Vernon, Wash., states that the
principal business portion of town has
been destroyed by fire. The loss will be

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS,
Seattle, July 14. The steamer Henry
Bailey which arrived here todav from
Mount Vernon brings the first news of
tne aisastious hre which occurred there
yesterday morning. The lire broke' out
in the Washington hotel. The hotel
was entirely consumed with fifteen other
business buildings, and two residences,
causing a total loss of forty thousand
dollars. The fire was caused by the ex
plosion of a lamp in the upper rooms of
the hotel which contained nearly one
hundred guests 'at the time, many of
whom escaped with difficulty and many
lost their clothing. For a while a panic
reigned. No fatalities occurred what

bureau was on a scientific basis, have
done it invaluable service. They do the
work for the sake of science and are paid

not always accurate press that ex-President
Hayes was going to pieces ; that
hiajnemory had failed him and he was
intellectually a wreck. The lie is given
to such statement in despatches which
say the distinguished Ohioan and ex
president addressed 25,000 people at Be
atrice, Neb., on the 4th. His theme was
the growth and achievements of the Am

two hours, closing with a grand perora

The Great Seal is affixed to nothing

seal, which had been in use since the
foundation of the government, was worn

early part of 1886. It is a curious fact
that the old-one which was used so long
was imperfect and never did answer to
the description set down in the statutes.

its improper use is so tremendous, it is

The farmers' allianee organization ef

the fact remains that the new party is a

uisiuroing iacior in me pontics oi me
country. It may not be a useful politi
cat organization, and it may have a
short life, nevertheless it is a power. Its
strength does not lie entirely in the ear
nestness of its members. The truth is
the alliance is a powerful political ma
chine and is today better organized and
better equipped for campaign work than
either of the old parties. In Dakota,
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska.
it is really the dominant party, for it is
in a position to dictate terms to the
other parties. In Wisconsin, Michigan,
Illinois and otner central western
states it really holds the balance of
power, while in the local politics of
many of the southern states its power is
absolute.
The alliance may not make such head
way in Oregon as it has done in states
farther east, for the simple reason that
such a feeling of unrest does not prevail
among our farmers. There is no section
of the Union where agriculture is so
prosperous as it is here in Oregon. Our
farmers are in better condition than
their eastern brethren, yet the burthens
of the McEinley law and other oppres
sions of the billion-dollar congress are
beginning to have their effects here.
The Pacific coast farmers are beginning

Another county seat fight will soon be

location now lies between these two
towns, and until the last meeting of the

McCoy, who is an owner in the Moro
town site and also a member of the Ore

wheel by adding a considerable slice ta

boundary ot Mierman, thus giving it a
majority of the votes. The moving or

Hop Lice In the Willamette.
The Salem Journal says that Ed C,
Harran has shown that journal hop
leaves from the Beardslev yards at
Eola that were literally covered with
lice, and it is certain that these Eola
yards, about as large as any in the
state, are badly infested, and not liable
to have half a crop unless spraying can
check the pest. All delusions about
there being no danger to the crop are
pernicious. The farmers better realize
that their crop is liable to be destroyed,
and go to spraying to save it. The fact
all talk of no possibility of injury
from, hop lice is for the purpose of taking
down prices, and the outlook in the
eyes of some of our best posted hop men
is that there may not be half a crop.

The Murdered Sailor.
San Diego, Cal., July 16. An inquest
wae began yesterday afternoon on the
remains of the sailor of the Charleston
killed on Tuesday. Evidence developes
that the officers who claimed to be V. S,
deputy marshals were not deputized by
marshal Gard and therefore had no
authority to arrest the sailors.
At the inquest this morning the evi
dence was even stronger than yesterday
that the attack of the officers was crimi
nally brutal. It was developed this
morning that a well arranged plan to
lynch the deputy marshals hung fire last
night. Sixty citizens fully armed were
up until 2 o'clock this morning debating
whether or not the prisoners Bhonld be
lynched. Better counsel prevailed and
it was at last decided to await the result
of the inquest. There is an apparent
determination on all sides to see justice
done. The inquest is being held in the
superior court room. ;

the history of Ohio democrats met this
morning in tms city, xne JNast music
hall, in which the convention was held
was packed to its utmost capicity long
before the hour of meeting arrived.
Chairman Norton formally opened the
convention in a brief but stirring ad
dress. At its conclusion Allen W. Thur
man, temporary chairman, stepped for
ward and addressed the convention
Thurnian, after a few preliminary re
marks, launched forth with a denuncia
tion of the republican party and its
methods.
ine louowing resolutions were pre
sented to the convention today : The
administration of Governor Campbell is
endorsed for its honesty and economy
and the last session of the general as
seuibly is commended especially for its
having provided for the secret ballot,
The majority report reads: "We are
opposed to all class legislation and be
lieve in a tariff levied for the sole pur
pose of producing revenues sufficient to
defray the legitimate expenses of the
government economically administered
We accept the issue tendered to us by
the republican party on the subject of
the tariff. We favor a graded income
tax ; we denounce the demonetization of
silver in 1873 by the party then in power
as an iniquitous alteration of the money
standard in favor of creditors aud against
debtors, tax-payei s and producers, and
which by shutting off one source of sup
ply of primary money continually in
increase the value of gold, depressed
prices, hampers industry and disparages
enterprises, and we demand the rein
statement of a constitutional standard
of both gold and silver with equal right,
each to free anfi unlimited coinage."
"We denounce the republican billion
dollar congress which by its extravagant
expenditures has exhausted the surplus
in the National treasury left there by a
democratic administration and created a
deficit."
"We favor closer commercial relations
with our Canadian neighbors."
We favor a liberal and just pension
to deserving and disabled soldiers and
sailors and their widows and orphans."
The minority report gives the follow
ing as a substitute of a silver plank in
the platform.
We believe in honest money and the
coinage of gold and silver and having
the circulating medium convertible into
such money without loss, and we oppose
all legislation which tends to drive
either gold or silver out of circulation
and we believe in maintaining the coin
age of both metals on parity."
It also recommends that the resolu
tions declaring for a graduated income
tax be stricken out of the platform.
The minority report was rejected by
399 nays to 300J yeas, and the plat
form as reported by the majority of the
committee was adopted.
Ex-Congressman LeBlond has been
selected as permanent chairman.
On motion the picture of a victorious
rooster was adopted as the device to des
ignate the democratic ticket in accord
ance with the ballot reform law.
The first contest in the convention
arose over the report of the committee
on credentials. A dispute in the 25th
ward of Cincinnati and the Hamilton
county delegation was the subject of a
wrangle. The minority report was over
whelmingly defeated, and the majority
report on the credentials committe was
then adopted.
.Nominating speeches for governor
commenced at 10:00 o'clock." Follett of
Cincinnati placed Neal in nomination,
at the conclusion of which the conven
tion went wild. Michael Ryan of Cin-
cinni ti, nominated Governor Campbell.
On behalf of Cayuhago county, Dodge
leader of the Kline men said : "I move
we make the nomination of Campbell
unanimous."
The motion was quickly put and de
clared carried on a viva voce vote.- The
Neal men failing to demand the yeas and
nays, the Hamilton county men. voted
no" in chorous. however, and as if to
emphasize their opposition repeated "no,
no, no, for half a minute following the
announcement.
The motion prevailed and they hissed
loudly, and repeatedly notwithstanding
cries of "shame, shame, shame," from
Cayuhago county delegation.
