The Evening Oregon ian, a thoroughly
reliable free trade paper informs. us that
a large force of men .has begun work
within mile of Norristown, Pa., pre
paring a plant for the first foreign tin
plate manufactory tocrossthe ocean and
locate in this country. There was no
flourish of trumpets to announce their
coming. Kichard Lewi, manager for
W. II. Edwards, the owner of a number
of tin mills at Swansea, VValee, says it
is an experiment that must ail'ect hund
red of mills now stretched along the
Swansea valley, in which the tin plate
of the world has been manufactured for
years. Mr. Lewis arrived in America
on May 18th, and immediately set out to
select a site for this plant. He picked
out'an abandoned manufactory at Ear
nest station, on the Pennsylvania road.
This site is selected with the ultimate
purpose of moving the entire plant from
Wales. The factory vill begin opera
tions with a capacity of 140 tons of tin
per week. Nine workmen from '.Swan
sea arc there putting the machinery in
place, and in six weeks' time it is ex
pected that its product will be put out.
E. W. Moore & Co., another large tin
firm, lias sent a representative to this
country, and he has decided to locate at
. Elizabethport, N. .1.
If this state of afluirs continues a little
while the entire tin import trade of the
TTnited States will be ruined. If the!.
tariff reformers do not throw themselves
into the breach, and that right suddenly,
the heretofore extremely profitable busi
iefcs of tin importation will be snuffed
out like the light of a tallow dip in a
Kansas cyclone. If tariff reformers do
not come to the rescue, home competition
will have reduced the price of the poor
man's dinner pail so low that he will be
compelled to use a more expensive ma
terial to save his reputation. Down
with McKinley I If tin; man and his
till are allowed to live much longer every
poor man in the country who combines
frugality with industry will have become
rich and comlortable in spite of all we
-can do to the contrary. j

The Washington special correspondent j the sencrai belief on the river. The

-everything in Ins power to ueieai uib

.and prevent the opening of the Colum

bia river. Senator Dolph says Mohr is
not there for the protection of the rights
of his company, but for the purpose of
preventing the opening of the river and
continuing indefinitely the burden of
excessive freight charges paid by the
ipeople of Eastern Oregon and Washing
ton. All of which we can very readily
believe to le true.
The columns of our newspapers aie
now being disfigured with old stock por
traits of alleged statesmen. Most of
these portraits are in outline, and very
properly so, for only an outline portrait
.ran represent an alleged statesman as
possessing no character. After the con--v
eution season these newspaper cuts will
.be distributed among the weekly papers
throughout the country, and so from a
bad beginning these libels upon art will
proceed to a bad end. We . want to be
-tlistiuctly, understood as saying that Tim
CiiKONicm to-day presents bona fide
portraits of Harrison and Keid. They

"The abomination of desolation known
as the Lane county jail is soon to be
torn down and replaced by a new one.
That jail has been "cussed" by prison
ers, denounced by sheriffs and con
demned by grand juries, almost since
Joe Meek first discovered the hole in
the ground, where Mount Hood now
rnrls. It is evident, "the world do
move" when Lane county has concluded
to build a new jail.
It is said that Gail Hamilton (nee
Abigail Dodge) has already begun an ar
ticle for the North American Review up
on the subject of Indiana statesmanship.
She is writing it with oil of vitriol upon
the business side of a fly-blister. Nobody
; an step on cousin Jim's corns without
exciting a whoop from Abigail.
Cleveland will certainly be nominated
as by acclamation. Hill will receive the
nomination on the first ballot. Xeither
of the leaders' can be nominated, but
there will be a compromise on a dark
horse. That seems to be a fair and im
partial summary of opinion at Chicago,
today. ' ' -
Whatever may be the fate of the river
and harbor bill after it learcs the. con
ference committee the indications are
.that the boat railway project is doomed.
ABOUT THE PEOPLES' BOATS.
The following letter, which appears
in this weeks' issue of the Klickitat
Leader, scarcely requires an explanation
to make it intelligible. The evident
friendliness of the writer to the peoples'
boats deserves a courteous answer. Still
it appears like trying to prove that the
snn shines to try and prove that The
Dalles, Portland and Astoria Naviga
tion company has not sold out. The
company has not sold out to anybody
and, what is more, the boats are not for
sale. No proposition of sale was ever
made to the company ami no proposi
tion, no matter what the consideration,-
j would be entertained for a moment or
passed upon without being submitted to
the people. Not only has a proposition
of sale never been made but no proposi
tion is ever likely to be made. The
boats were put on the river by men who
never exacted to reap a dollar, directly
by the enterprise, and they were put on
to stay, and lliey v:ili glay.
At the time the boat company was
compelled to stop making through con
nection it had 1,000 tons of freight iri
sight, and was on the eve of having
more business to do than it could possi
bly manage. The Dalles City stopped
when the captain gave it as his opinion
that the boat could not safely make the
landing at the Cascades. A council of
steamboat captains, held in Portland,
conffirmed Captain Stout's "judge
ment. The company could have got a
captain to undertake the command, but
they feared the riskj holding as one of
the directors said to, the writer, that it
was better to have to tie up till August
next than lose a 20,000 boat. (It
should be known that no insurance can
be procured against marine risk, on
river craft.) Efforts were made to find
a landing below the rapids, intending to
transfer freight by wagons, but the
scheme was considered impracticable.
It was too late for this seasons' trade
to commence to build a boat,. staunch
enough, and there was nothing left for
the company but a reluctant and most
annoying tie up. Just as soon, however,
as the water is agaiu low enough to
make it safe, traffic will be resumed, and
when it is resumed it will stop for noth
ing less than a winter freeze up. The
company will see to it that they are
amply prepared for any stage of water
next year. ,
Letter to the Kkickitat Leader.
Editor Klickitat Leader: I see in
your last week's issue an article entitled
The People's Boat, and do not know
whether this able piece was written by
the editor or by some one for the new
company. If it was written by the lat
ter it is a false misrepresentation, for
the future at least, for the old enemy,
the Union Pacific, bought the Regulator j
j rates from the new company s late
! charges. It will be very easy for them
to tie up the new boat and start the old
Baker and charge the same old rate that
we have groaned under for the last ten
years. Now we do not give this as facts,
but we believe it is, and all the settlers
along the river believe it as well.
I do not think that anything would
make the people happier than a denial
of the above, with an assurance that the
' new company still owned the Regulator
and would operate it in tne mture as in
the past, in the interest of the people.
But the indications goes to show that
the change was made when the old
Baker crew took charge of the Regulator
some two months ago. As for the peo
ple sticking to the new line, I do not be
lieve any company ever had a better
support. I have waited on" the beach
for the coming ot the new boat until
nine o'clock at night, and then drove
seven miles in the woods in the dark
rather than patronize the old Baker, and
I know of lots of others that have done
more, and would still do more, if it was
possible to keep the U. P. out of suck
insr our life's blood. Now if this is not
j facts, let The Dalles, Portland and As
toria Navigation company come to tne
front and give us the facts of the case,
aud you will see a broad smile on the
face of every man in White Salmon
when it is contradicted, and your cor
respondent will beg a thousand pardons
for writing this article. Wood Rat.
It will hot be at all surprising if the
electioh in Portland today results in a
victory for the citizens' ticket. Simon
and Lotan are no longer bossing the re
publicans and as a result the central
committee of that party is said to be
left without funds to pay legitimate ex
penses. The party of "reform" are well
provided with funds which they have
placed in the hands of men who know
how to use them to the best advantage
and money "talks" in a Portland elec
tion. The "coldest" joke of the season is re
lated in Chicago, where the Cleveland
i men say that if they can't have Cleve
land they 6hall at least demand a candi
date who is capable of sweating in hot
weather. ' '
"The bond holders and money sharks
are all in favor of Cleveland's nomina
tion," saya the Dispatch, and yet there
are a hundred chances to one that the
Dispatch will be hurrahing for Mons
ieur Dc Buffalo before a week closes. -
If one desires to Bee eastern life in the
most picturesque and startling phases he
is advised by the Spokane Review to
visit the Coeur d'Alene Indian reserva
tion and behold the sudden glory of
Parisign and London modes when trans
ferred to the home of the North Ameri
can Indians.' It will be remembered
that these Indians recently received
nearly half a million dollars from the
United States in exchange for a portion of
their reservation.. They number all told,
fewer than 500 souls, and the distribu
tion of the cash gave every man, woman
and child more than $1,000. This sud
den advent of affluence, added to the
natural wealth already possessed by. the
tribe, has made these-primitive people
perhaps the wealthiest community in
the. United States. For weeks after the
payment of the money the merchants on
the border of the reservation did a rush
ing business in Parisian bonnets, gor
geous carriages, swift roadsters, silver
mounted harness, sealskin sacks and all
the finery of modern civilization. One
squaw came into town, says the Review,
riding her cayusc in cavalier fashion ;
and when she drove homeward she was
the very picture that would have created j
a sensation even in the parks of the I
great cities of Europe. She had a fash-.
ionable dogcart of tan color, a three
minute trotter, a $27 bonnet, 10-button-kid
gloves, and the cayuse was hitched
on behind. A family of 'five rode in
upon caynses and went home in a blaze
of fashion, occupying a $600 carriage,
and the five cayuses tied on behind, the
head of one attached to the tail of the
other. . From all of which it is Eeen that
sudden wealth like whisky, seems to
have pretty much the same effect "upon
the Indian as upon the white man.
