"-..After an interregnum of one week
again assume editorial control of the
columns of the Chboniclk. Neither my
resignation nor resumption involves any
change in the policy of this journal
which, it is hoped, will always be fonnd
on the right Bide of all questions, social

it a generous support, under my former

that no effort of mine will be spared

At the late meeting, in Minneapolis.
- of the National Editorial Association a
. -number of excellent womgn from Mary
land, Virginia and Pennsylvania had
-paper read urging that action ought to
be taken towards the suppression or om
mission of all details in reporting such
crimes as suicides, scandals and breaches
of faith and honor. We cannot help
- thinking that these good ladies display
an over-squeamishne88 and false modesty
that will hardly meet public approval
There is, however, a very proper limit
. to such things, that all newspaper men
I who desire to run a clean and respecta
ble sheet will observe. Nothing should
- be allowed in a news-paper that would
bring the blush of shame to the cheek
of the most modest. Nothing should
appear that a refined and cultivated gen
tleman would be ashamed to utter in the
presence of an equally refined and cul
" tivated lady.
There are frequently details in connec
tion with the crimes mentioned that no
. respectable journal will publish. There
-are others that are just as proper sub
- jecta for publication as any matters of
news that mav be published. The trou
ble sometimes lies in a surfeit of these
. things. Who does not get tired of see
ing the dispatches filled with every de
.tail or the latest slugging match or of
. the training and hourly condition and
.movements of the sluggers, to the exclu
sion of good, wholesome and important
news. In a word, itmay .be said with
truth, as a contemporary observes, that
"the publication of word pictures of vice
and . crime is pernicious only when it
holds up vice and crime in a pleasing
- and tempting manner or when a journal
: gives too much of its space to these
- matters and thereby confesses its inter
act therein.
xne prospective value, to tne unitea

vohm. at reciprocal mae connection
with the countries of Central and South
America may be gathered from the fact
that William Eleroy Curtis prepared a
statement on trade, and transportation
for the use of the late International
American Conference, in which he
enumerates as many as 425 different ar-
wl1eta-i tf-tf mAMirtaniDA wrtiiri ft a tV--i r-1 trn
the manifests of vessels bound for south

list reveals the fact, that of these 425
all bat about twenty-five are produced
in greater or less abundance in some
portion or other of the United Stages.
Not long ago the Brazilian mail steam
ship company traced to its source every
article that composed the cargo carried
by its steamships to Brazil and it was
found that the freights on one south
ward voyage of the Finance were derived
from no less than twenty-five states of
the Uniou, extending from Maine to
California and from the Canadian .boun
dary to the Gulf of Mexico. , In another
vessel which sailed from New York on
April, a year ago, for the same port,
thirty-six states and territories contri
buted to the cargo, which was valued at
1301,417.41 ; even Oregon had $1,183
worth in it. . These remarkable figures
may help to show the immense possi
bilities that cluster around the reciproc
ity scheme of the McKinley bill.
After all a town is surprisingly little

by no means lose sight of the many im
portant advantages we have reaped. The
country has been developed in a way
could never have otherwise been, but
the population of The Dalles has not
been increased and if the volume of bus
iness is larger, as it undoubtedly is, it
not the railroad we have to thank for it
The day the Regulator will be able
start on her trip to the Cascades, and
make connection with boats on the lower
river, will be a more important one for
The Dalles than was the day this city
made connection with the east by
trans continental railroad. A more im
portant day still, will be the day when
this city shall become the terminus of
railroad system that shall send out its
feeders to Sherman, Gilliam and Crook
counties, and gather here for shipment
east or west, the products of a territory
as extensive, if not more so, than all the
New England states. When that day
comes, other factors of development in
the line of manufactories will take care
of themselves and this city, so long half
dormant will wake up to a new life and
energy she has never known before.
May the day be hastened.
The one peculiar fatuity that follows.
as the shadow follows its substance, the
life and work of the editor of the Timet
Mountaineer is his implacable and un
reasonably bitter hatred of every person
and thing that do not fall in line with
his peculiar notions or contribute to his
avarice. The attack on Mr. G. J. Farley
yesterday evening is of a piece with Mr.
Michell's whole character. It is spitful
and vindictive to the very verge of im
becility. Mr. Farley owns a saddler'
shop, and at one time, we believe.
worked in the company's blacksmith
shop in this city. What of it? Do these
things disqualify him for being superin
tendent of construction of the Cascade
Portage railroad? Mr. Farley was not
appointed by the governor, but by the
state board and he was appointed only
because his excellent and numerous cre
dentials, proving his competency and
experience, were superior to those of any
other applicant. Mr. Michell knows
this, or ought to know it ; yet he con
tinues, ungenerously and undignifiedly
to hold Mr. Farley up to ridicule,
merely to satisfy a depraved and morbid
personal spite. Mr. Michell had better
far devote his attention to presenting
proofs of Mr. Farley's incapacity. Any
fool can sit in an editor's chair and
growl ; and all this growling comes in
bad taste from the pen of a man who
has never to this hour contributed
dollar to an enterprise, whose manage
ment he feels specially called upon to
criticise and censure.
These be the days that try men's souls
and women's too, and make one even
wish that be were off fishing. All
the poetry and romance of life is knock
ed out of one adown whose burning cheek
and heated spinal column there flows
scorching rivulets of briny sweat. What
matters it that the harvest sun is paint
ing the grain fields a golden hue, or
clothing forest and dell with varying
tints of autumn beauty, or fixing the
russet on the ripening peach, or staining
the purple on the . luscious grape, or
stamping the gorgeous coloring on
thousand flowers, we only know that
that same sun is squeezing the liqefac
tion out of us, as the deft mixologist
squeezes a lemon for a bu miner drink.

The directors of our disirict fair have
done everything in their power and will
continue to do.everything in their power
to make the next fair a success. They
have most anxiously and carefully
studied to place such premiums as they
were able to offer so as to meet the
wishes and conditions of exhibitors. If
in any important respect they have
failed in this regard we are confident
they will make amends, if it is possible
or convenient to do so. It remains with
the farmers of this section to make the
fair a success or a failure. ' The fine
crops of this season, in every department
of agriculture, leave no excuse for a poor
exnioit. iet us an worK together ana

A story with a very fishy savor about
it comes from Rio Janeiro to the effect
that a contractor, who had been en
gaged to tear down the old castle of San
Antonio, discovered in the vaults a mass
of gold and precious stones worth the
fabulous sum of over $70,000,000. The
contractor promptly notified the Brazil'
ian government, which, by the terms of
the contract, is entitled to the half of the
discovery. His memoranda enumerates
the following articles taken from the
vaults:-.
One hundred and twelve wooden boxes
with iron clasps, weighing 856 kilos
each ; four cast-iron chests, weighing 015
alios eacn ; sixteen leather sacks, sewed,
weighing thirty-nine kilos each: 806
packages of parchments, with a total
weight of 1457 kilos : three boxes con
taining papers, twenty-six packages,
siighMy damaged. -
The twenty-six packages are said to
contain a variety of precious stones
whose value cannot be stated as they
have not been appraised, but which is
believed to be something enormous.
A forcible illustration of the folly of
human greed and the inability of wealth
to confer happiness comes to us through
paragraph now going the rounds of the
press to the effect that John D. Rockfel-
ler, the great Standard Oil King, who is
rich beyond the dreams of Avarice, itself,
has completely lost his nerve and is a-
fraid he never will get well ; the care of
his vast wealth having used him up com
pletely while as yet he is by no means
an old man.
It is intimated that in a short time
two of the most famous gambling insti
tutions in the world will have ceased to
exist. The Prince of Monaco, it is said,
has concluded not to renew the lease of
his establishment and the movement in
Louisiana, to abolish the lottery com
pany, may prove successful. The Mon-
oca institution is a blot on the civiliza
tion of Europe as the Louisiana lottery
is on that of America.

ported to that country. These articles
consist of resin, tar etc. ; pickled pork
and bacon ; sewing machines and wood
and its manufactures ; mining and me
chanical tools, implements and macbin
ery, which are all included in the recip
rocal agreement. Of these articles there
were shipped to Brazil, from the United
states, during the month of May 1890
an amount valued at $164,716 ; while for
the month of may 1891 the value rose to
f634,098, making an increase of $569,382,
or nearly 40i) per cent: This showing
undoubtedly justifies the fondest expee
tations of the friends of reciprocity.
The news papers that have been cen
suring Governor Pennoyer for ousting
Dr. Lane from the position of superin
tendent of the insane asylum, appear to
have been doing so in complete ignor
ance of the facts. It is asserted by the
Dispatch that only two ballots were taken
by the state board, which has the ap
pointment, and that on the first ballot
the governor voted for Dr. Williamson
"a thorough and reliable democrat," and
only on the second ballot did the gov
ernor vote for Dr. Rowland. As the
other two members of the board were in
favor of that gentleman and could have
elected him without the governor's vote,
it is only natural to suppose that the
governor voted for Dr. Rowland to make
the vote unanimous. In any case we
really see nothing to make a fuss about.

A million people pant for a breath of

Here fa au interesting bit of history
about the Royal Ann cherry which is
vouched for by the Spokane Review.
"It was brought to the Pacific coast
around Cape Horn by a fruit grower
named Laaa, of unampoeg, ur., thirty
five years ago. During the long sea voy
age the cotton twine, with which the la
bels were tied to the voung trees and
bushes, rotted awav, and Mr. Ladd was
at a loss regarding two of these labels
one irom a cherry tree and the other
from a rose push, ne guessed erron
eously, and gave the rose s name to the
cherry, and the cherry's to the rose. As
a matter of fact the Koyai Ann cherry
is the Napoleon Bigarcau. But the dis
covery of the error was not made until
many years later, and the magnificent
cherry, has since retained the rose's
name."

thirtieth anniversary of the first battle
of Manassas, and. Lexington, the quiet
agricultural village in which was spent
the lifetime of Stonewall Jackson, the
most picturesque figure of the Southern
Confederacy, is brilliant with life and
color, while ten thousand strangers have
assembled within its environs to partici
pate in the exercises incident to the un
veiling of a monument symbolic of re
spect and veneration felt for the great
soldier.
The procession first moved to the
campus of the Washington and Lee Un
iversity and halted at the platform, which
was handsomely decorated. Rev. Dr.
M. C. Hopkins, of West Virginia, who
as chaplain of the 2d Virginia regiment,
was with Jackson in nearly all his fights,
opened the ceremonies with prayer.
Gen. Wade Hampton introduced the
orators of the day, Gen. Jubal A. Early
and Col. Thomas M. Summer, who read
two poems entitled "Stonewall Jackson's
Way," and "Over the River."
The procession re-formed as soon as the
proceedings at the stand were over, and
marched to the cemetery 'n which the
statue stands. Little Julia Jackson
Christian, from an t leva ted platform,
pulled the cords which .sustained the
veil over the statue and exposed it to
view, while the Rock Bridge "battery
fired a salute.
The weather was fine, a fresh cool
breeze tempering the 'rays of the sun.
The streets and buildings were appro
priately decorated. Three beautiful
arches extended over Main street. Ban
ners with the names of Jackson's differ
ent battles printed on them swung with
in a hundred yards of each other across
the line of march. On one appears
Jackson's noted telegram after the battle
at McDowell, "God blessed our arms
with victory at McDowell yesterday."
Long streamers of Confederate states
flags, and battle flags set off w 1th na
tional colors decorated many houses.
Lee's mausoleum was covered with ever
greens and cut flowers.
The statue stands on an eminence in
the center of the City cemetery on Main
street, well set off with giant trees. It
is of bronze, heroic size and portrays
Jackson with uncovered head leaning on
his sword and left leg and looking ont
upon the field of battle. In his right
hand is a field glass. The figure is in
full uniform. The scabbard of the sword
bears the letters "U. S." It is a histor
ical fact, as it was modeled from Jack
son's sword. The statue proper meas
ures eight feet and surmounts a granite
pedestal ten and a half feet high.

mander Marthon of the United States
steamer Palos, writing to hia wife in this
city from Kiang Kiang, China, under
date of June 8th, says that the Palos
reached there June 6th. Learning that
a riot had taken place at Wusick the
night before he immediately visited the
scene and found the body of Mission
ary Argent lying where he fell in the
gateway at the door of a church which
had been pillaged by the rioters,. The
body of Customs House Officer Green
was found lying in the street several
squares distant. The cause of the riot
he states was the fact that Missionary
Argent had picked up four little orphans
in the country and was conveying them
to Bunkow in the usual fashion, in bas
kets borne on the shoulders of coolies.
A street lounger asked one of the coolies
what was in the basket, and the latter
refusing to answer, the fellow raised the
lid of the basket, disclosing the children.
The crowd which had gathered raised
the cry that the missionaries were tak
ing the children away to dig their eyes
out and forthwith attacked the church
killing Argent and plundering the place.
Customs Officer Green was met by a mob
and killed while on his way to assist the
wives of missionaries. In closing his
letter, he says, "the Chinese do not
want religion."
WON'T LET THEM FIGHT.

St. Paul, Minn., July 22. The city is
full of people interested in the big fight
between Fitzsimmons and Jim Hall, the
two Australians, and from the best in-
fotmed persons the fight will surely take
place. "Sheriff Bean met Governor Mer
riam this morning and received instruc

says be can do nothing but stop it. It
seems probable that both principals will
be arrested, and give bonds for their ap
pearance and then the fight will proceed
to finish.

the British army which it claims oc
curred in the second battalion of Cold
Stream guard- quartered at Wellington
