Address all communication to "THE CHRON
ICLE;" The Dalles, Oregon.
A coward, and God hates a coward,
writing over the psuedonynr of "Jo
tice" in last Sunday's Oregtmian takes
the relief committee to task because it
has not published a statement of what
has been done with the money contrib
uted bv Portland and other cities to the
relief of the sufferers by the great fire.
This is well enough and might pass.
The committee owe it to themselves to
publish such a statement and in all
likelihood will indue time, but "Jus
tice" knows he lies deliberately and
with malicious purpose; when he talks
of healing of only two persona obtainicg
relief. The coward dare not present
such a statement for publication to any
newspaper in this city. It's gross and
malicious falsity would make him
ashamed to do so. He has sent it to
Portland that under the cover of a nom-de-pluine
he might conceal a name he
would not dare to own where the facts
are known. Eut the animus of the
communication is perfectly apparent.
The writer is some low hound who got
all he could out of the committee and
then because he could rtet get all he
wanted he takes this revenge. While
the committee may not have always
acted with the best judgment, and pos
sibly do not make pretsnsions that they
did, they performed a great deal of hard,
thankless work and we have no doubt
afforded relief in every instance where
they thought it was needed. .
It is leeomine more doubtful every
day that any free coinage bill will be
naaeed bv the present congress. Demo
cratic opinion is said to be changing
verv raDidlv not simply as to toe wisdom
of the measure but as to it? merits. It
is perfectly evident that this change is
being effected less from principle than
nolicv. The nartv that so vigorously
denounced republican demonetization
when in the minority now find them
selves in power with an elephant on
their hands. A free silver plank in the
nlatform would break the party in two :
so it is said. They would have to say
good-bye to Jew tngiana, to tne nnauie
states and to such states as Wisconsin,
Illinois, Iowa and Michigan. Then, too,
leadine German papers have served
notjice that the German vote will leave
in a body on a free coinage issue. So
principle must be sacrificed to exped
iency as it is more important to hold of
fice than to be consistent, and easier to
bear the charge of a stultified record
than to be ousted from power.

The Denver News, a paper that is an
earnest advocate of free trade us a na
tional economic policy, with an incon
sistency that is delightful to a protec
tionist thus argues in favor of fostering
the industries that lie nearest to us.
The same principles applied to the na
tion which the Neun applies to the state
are all that the most ardent protection
ist could ask.
It is for the general interest to patron
ize articles of home manufacture in every
line of trade in which a supply can be
had, because we thus increase the labor
employing capacity of the state and keep

we give preference to goods that must be'
ordered irom distant localities, we turn
the cold shoulder to home enterprise
and help thoso who do nothing for the
state in return. We equally retard the
general prosperity when we loose an op
portunity to promote the development
of the state's natural resources. Co-relation
and interdependence so permeate
our modern society that industrial activ
ity of a marked character in any line is
far-reaching in its influences and bene
fits. Multuomah county- has added two
mills to its tax levy, which will raise a
fund of $50,000 to be devoted to the im
provement of its public roads. ' Th
county court has gone still farther and
has secured by right of purchase several
rock quarries and gravel beds and two
stone crushers, and with these equip
ments and material it is expected that
the money spent upon the county roads
will not entirely disappear in the winter
mud. The two mills added to the tax
levy of this county will not do much, it
is true, relatively, where so much is
needed to.be done, but the sum that
will accrue, if judiciously expended, as
we trust it shall be, will afford immense
relief to some sections and the precedent
once established of making special pro
vision for county roads in the annual
tax levy will not be hastily abandoned
bj county courts in the future.
When the Reform Journal went out of
ita wav to characterize the strange as "a
dead cock in the pit so far as any good
in reforming anything is concerned,
as a thing that has "gone to seed, out
lived its usefulness and should be gath
ered to its fathers" it bit off considerably
more than it will ever be able to masti
cate. The grange was ne ver in a health
ier or more vigorous condition than it is
today. As an educational force among
the tillers of the soil, and as a permanent
place for consultation and social inter
course it has exercised a pewerfuf. and
benificent influence upon farming com
munities for more than a score of years,
and it is a safe prediction that it will
continue to maintain a vigorous and
useful existence when some of the crack
brain theories advocated by this Reform
Journal, shall be remembered only to be
laughed at.
No wonder the great civilized nations
of the world-are slow to adopt the arbit
rament of war in settling their disputes.
The progress of improvements ia inven
tions for the destruction of life and
property is such that they are incentives
to peace rather than promoters of strife.
The new German artillery, which will
shortly be introduced, is said to be the
most terrible war instrument ever pro
duced. Experiments made at the Inter
bogk ranges deeply impressed the ex
perts, the Kaiser being present. The
first shot fired at a target placed fifty
Eaces from a wood, missed the target,
ut ploughed its way through the wood
for 1500 feet The splinters of a shell
burst by the new powder over a circle of
900 feet. A shell fired at an enormous
target, constructed by the emperor's
orders, covered it with tens of thous
ands of holes. A battery of the new
artillery would, it is assured, annihilate
an entire division, once the range was
found.
Whatever one may think of the gen
eral sanity of Emperor William of Ger
many there can be only one opinion as to
the soundness of his views on the liquor
question so far at least as they re'late to
two measures he is seeking to incorpor
ate into the laws of the Empire. One is
a provision that no spirituous liquors'
shall be 'sold to any lads under sixteen
years of age except in the presence of their
parents or guardians, the other is that
no intoxicating drink shall be sold to
any habitual drunkard. The fact that
the statistics of German insanity show a
direct ratio to those of intemperance
(twenty-eight per cent, of, insane per
sons in the Rhine provinces having lost
their reason through excessive drinking,)
is evidence of the necessity of some leg
islation ou the subject.
The democratic members of both
houses of congress will not strengthen
their party in Oregon and Washington
by opposing Senates Dolph's bill for the
refunding to the settlers on even-numbered
sections of land within the limits
of the grant to the Northern Pacific
which was declared forfeited, the differ
ence between the price paid of $2.50 an
acre and $1.25, which is the difference
between lands within and without rail
road grants. Every democrat on the
senate corn in ttee is said to be opposed
to the bill and will fight it. to the bitter
end. If it pass the republican senate it
will be killed in the house. This may
be a sample of democratic economy, but
It is a piece of flagrant injustice to the
first settlers, who had to pay $2.50 an
acre while the later ones are allowed to
secure the lands lying alongside at half
that price.
A classifaction of the poor of New
York City by the secretary of the So
ciety for the Improvement of the Condi
tion of the Poor shows that nearly one
Juilf of the large number of cases of
poverty are the direct result of exces
sive dram drinking. Next to this it
was found that' habitual dependence on
charity had sapped the independence of
a number estimated at twenty per cent.,
while of the entire army of the poverty
stricken of the great city only twenty
per cent, are classified as "meritorious
poor."
One of the most powerful implements
of war ever invented is the Hotchkiss
rifled gun recently tested at Hartford.
Conn. It is capable of throwing a des
tructive conical shell a distance of ten
miles and of piercing the armor of the
strongest ironclads afloat. In its silent
strength it will preach as persuasive a
sermon on "peace on earth" if not good
will to men as could possibly spring
from human effort or as ever fell upon
the ears of the nnregenerate sons of
Adam.

A touching story comes oyer the wires
from San Diego county, California. A
Mrs.' Mary Gregory, postmistress of Vil-
jas, falsined ner returns to procure
means to buy food for her children.
She was tried for the offence and fined
$50. Friends furnished the money to
pay the fine and the woman was libera
ted. There are 100,000 panpers in the city
of London alone while the Salvation
Army people estimate that to provide
for the helpless "tenth" throughout
Great Britain would, at an estimate of
sixteen cents a day, require a charity
fund of $365,000,000 per annum.
The, New York Prest tells how a
woman reformed her husband from the
smoking habit. A contract was entered
into, the prime condition of which was
that she was to buy the cigars. He
smoked one and quit.
Portland will strongly resent the ac
tion of the Astoria chamber of com
merce in sending a set of resolutions to
congress urging that instead of appro
priating money for deepening the chan
nel of the Columbia from Portland to
the sea the money be given to the Cas
cade locks and the Dalles portage. And
yet if the greatest good to the greatest
number isagoodleconomic policy, Astoria
is right. The deepening of the channel
would benefit Portland the opening of
the river would benefit three states.
It is now positively asserted"that not
withstanding all report to the contrary
there never was any question of the
postponement of the wedding of Miss
Mattie Mitthell, daughter of Senator
John H. Mitchell and that that event
will take place as announced on the 11th
instant. The bannt of marriage between
Francois Alfred, Duke de La Rochefou
cauld and Mies Mattie Elizabeth Mitch
ell have been already announced in
Paris.
The tax levy of Baker county is 32
mills. A man over there who has to
pay 3 2-10 per cent, tax on the face value
of a mortgage (and the borrower always
pays the tax directly or indirectly) will
appreciate a law that was intended-for
the capitalist but which alas! invaria
bly cinches the wrong man.
Clatsop and Jackson counties, like
Wasco aad Multnomah,, have ignored
the findings of the state board of equal

the basis of the county equalization
boards' figures.
Twenty-five lumber manufacturers,
mostly from the south, have issued a

Slit. HOLMAN'S ECONOMY.
I. .
Liable to Expand When It Cornea to an
j Tndian Appropriation.
E. V. Ayres In the Kansas City Times:
Mr. Holm an, of Indiana, chairman of
the appropriation committee, has won
great reputation as an economist.
There are few bills he does not want
reduced, and many come in for a square
fight for their lives. So Holman has
gained the sobriquet of "The Watch
dog." But it has been noted on some
occasions with rage, on others with
mirth, that an Indiana appropriation has
a much better time with Holman than
those of others States. "The Watch-,
dog" is warmly given to his own State,
and public moneys ment for her decor
ation and delight make quite a hit with
Holman.
On one occasion, just after the Rep
resentative from Indiana had sat upon
and crushed the puling life out of some
baby appropriation from some other
state, along come a bill which sliced off
something over a million to Indianapolis.
"Now this, . gentlemen," said the
"Watchdog" with a sauve, ingratiating
air, '.'I take to be a very meritorious
measure."
The sharp contrast between IIol man's
bitter-opposition the little alien appro
priation and his smooth greeting of the
one which was to fill the Tap of his own
state urged Dockery, of Missouri, to
smiling sarcasm.
"The chairman's sudden change of "
tone," said he "when brought from the
contemplation of appropriations meant
for other states to those aimed at Indi
ana reminded me strongly of the lines
of Byron where one reads :
" 'Tis sweet to bear the watchdog's honest bark
Bay docp-nmuthed welcome as e draw near
"home."
The roar of committee delight which
followed killed the Indiana appropri
ation. By such sleights are laws made .
and public money spent or eaved.
A Proaperoua Year.
Tiie winter has been a remarkable one--in
many respects ; the rainfall has been
unusually heavy and every drop of it
penetrated the soil. The lowest temper
ature has been about 25 degrees above,,
and this only for a few hours. The snow
fall has been light and remained on the
ground but a few days. Fall grain is
looking splendidly, and the fruit pros
pects are fine, though tho strawberry
vines have suffered slightly in places
owing to the alternate freezing and
thawing of the ground to a depth of an
inch or two, which lifted some of them.
With no heavy frosts in the spring the
peach crop should lje the best ever
raised here, and the orchards snouio
yield abundantly.' It does not seem
nopsible that the ground can dry out be
fore fall, for at present it is thoroughly
saturated. Taken all in all, the outlook
for our fruit-growers was never better
than it is today. Hood River Olacier. ,
The following sentiments of a veteran
of the civil war have been handed us for
publication": ' "Intemperance is the
greatest curse of modern times. It robs
us of our ablest and best men. It
blights our homes, fills our asylums and
almshouses, takes from the lips of thou
sands the common necessaries of life,
and annually consigns thousands to a
drunkard's grave and a drunkard's hell.
It is a blot upon our boasted civilization
and gives the lie to our pretentions of
being a Christian nation. The temper
ance question is the gravest question
before the American people today. It
has come to this shall law and order,
industry and sobriety, or rum, with all
its damning, blighting influence rule
the country? Ed Calkins,.
Hood River.
The winter is quite severe in Malheur
county, snow two feet deep, and the
ranchmen have been feeding for two '
months.
It is now thought that Lawyer Gilbert
of Portland will be the successful man
in the contest for the judgeship of the
ninth district.
