' Captain Moffit, editor of the Portland
Telegram was arrwtexl 1 Saturday nigbt
at the. inBtam-e of . 1.. . ugntner,
. charged with- criminal libel. . Tbe
ground of complaint was an article
which appeared the same evening in tbe
Telegranij which asserted that Lightner,
Bob Smith, Chief Parrisb, Captain Wat
son and Ira R Powers, had met Satur
day. morning in Chief Parrish's private
offica for the pnrpose of devising means
for raising campaign funds, and had de
cided that tbe demi monde should be
assessed, and as a result, that two hacks
had been ordered and two assessors
started 'out to gather in the shekels.
Tbe statement further alleged that the
Wbitechapel women, and men, too,
responded with alacrity to the call for I
"stuff," for they were informed at the
start that they must either put up or
shut. up, and immediately, too.- Each
of the .person s named in the Telegram
article emphatically denies that there is
a fabadow of -foundation for tbe charges
made, and the prompt arrest of Captain
Moffit would indicate that they are not
afraid of a legal investigation. If the
Telegram article is- made out of whole
cloth, as it seems to be, it would indi
cate that, tbe citizen reformers of the
webfoob.metropolis are sadly in need of
reforuiHtion themselves.
. The Weston, Leader claims to liave
learned -one thing by the Australian
ballot system, .namely: "That there
should be an educational qualification
in the present general election law.
A citizen -who doesn't know the difier
ence between-A" and "Z" and signs
bis name with an X-mark should not
have the -right of suffrage in this en
lightened .age'' ..Apropos to this we are
reminded Of. an incident that happened
in this city at the Jato county election.
A "worker", brought to the door of the
voting place a man- who claimed that be
could neither, read nor. write. The man
bad a marked ballot in his hand. Two
judges of election accompanied him to
- the booth where be told them that be
-wished to vote as his marked ballot in
dicated, lie then stood by while the
judges marked his-ballot. The voter
was in full view of the- "worker," who
waited at the -door of-the .voting place
and who may -or .may not have been
watching to eee ' that the ticket was
voted according to contract. The cir--cunulances
looked suspicious enough to,
at least, suggest how a vote might be
bought and the jroods -delivered with
rtaintv. '
.' ? That the-extension of the British fran
chise" is effecting a quiet revolution
among the masses of the Englisn people
is evidenced by the following from the
London Christiana paper of extensive
circulation and reference and of conser
vative tendency : It is no exageration
to sav that we are living in the midst of
one of the greatest revolutions that the
English people have ever passed through.
Its magnitude is apt to be overlooked
because its progress is as subtle as it is
all-pervasive. With no manifestation of
popular excitement," with no building of
barricades, or. sacking of -palaces, or
sanguinary conflicts in the streets, like
those that ushered in the' French revo
lution, a movement is on foo. among ns
which is involving as certain a transfer
ence of power, and as decisive results.
We refer, of course to the rapid progress
of tbe Labor Party. What the com
ing dissolution and election may bring it
is impossible to say. But evidently
even now there are striking symptoms of
the rapid 'development of the power of
working-men. The Prime Minister and
the Leader of tbe House give a patient
hearing to their representatives, . and
evidently shrink from meeting their de
mands with an unqualified negative.
The members of the London City Coun
cil, sensible that their position is largely
effected by the votes of the working
claseee, are conspicuously attentive to
their interests, and quick to provide for
them, as in the recent arrangement .for
working-men's trains. " A peer of the
realm, who is generally credited with
the sagacity that can read the signs of
the times, says that working-men will
no longer be content, with the crumbs
which fall from the table, but will de
mand to sit at the board ; and he admits
that they are justified' in their request.
It will take 599 or two thirds of the
HUH votes-of the Chicago, convention to
nominate.' The friends of Hill claim
209 for their candidate and allow Cleve
land 4G1, with the remaining votes
pretty equally divided between Palmer,
Carlisle, Boies, Gray and Gorman.
Whatever may be the result Cleveland
bas no walk-over. The great managers
are out for his scalp. Brice has no use
for him and Colonel Higgins iloves him
not. -Watterson makes no effort to con
ceal his antagonism and Col. Rickey of
Missouri, says Cleveland' is not in it.
Then there is Dick Crocker and Billy
iJheehan and all the rest -of the Tam
many gang who are for Hill and will
etop ,at nothing to humiliate Grover. If
it were iiot for the two-thirds rule
. Cleveland would stand a good show of
being nqminated on the first ballot.
The Portland World (deia.) denies
that monev is scarce in Portland. It
says: "There is plenty of it to loan.
There is eastern money, San, Francisco
money and lots of Portland money in
the hands of bankers and money brokers.
'Money to loan' is the most prominent
advertisement in the daily press, aud it
is being offered at from 6 to 10 per cent,
according to the security aud length of
time. All. that is necessary to get all
the money one wants, and at low inter
est, is to own an eight-story building on
one of the principal business streets of
the city and give a first mortgage on it.
Money is not scarce, it is the inability
of the needy to furnish gilt-edge collat
terals." This probably sizes up the
situation everywhere.
It is understood at Washington that
the president bas strongly urged Cbaun
cey Depew to accept the secretaryship
of state made vacant by the resignation
of James G. Blaine. A gentleman on
intimate terms with Depew claims that
it is absurb to suppose that Depew would
sacrifice his important business interests
for a federal office, no matter how high it
might be. It might be answered that
the exalted character of the office would
more than compensate for a temporary
loes of income, to a man already well
supplied with this world's goods'.
It is already known to tbe readers of
The Chboniclb that on the morning of
the 16th of June, instL,' anticipating the
report of the disagreement of the com
mittee of conference on the river and
harbor bill, Paul Mohr- had placed on
the desks of senators and representa
tives a type written document which
contained a strong protest against the
boat railway scheme for overcoming the
obstructions at the dalles of tbe Colum
bia. The document eon tains 1(5 pages of
closelv tvno written matter. A careful
reading of it proves that Senator Dolph
was only partly right when he said that
Mr. Mohr's opposition was not for the
protection of the rights of anv one but
for the purpose of preventing the open
ing of the river. Molir has another
motive. He wants to sell bis r igh t of way
to the government at a big price. We
infer this from-bis manifest desire to
magnify tbe value of the work done by his
company- in grading a short piece of road
near Columbus.- 'Mohr says his company
bas spent $400,000 in the road already.
This must be a colossal lie; but let it
pass. Mr. Mohr is so dreadfully anxious
to prove that the boat railway is not
practicable that his zeal gets tbe better
of his discretion. He says the sand
drifts are so bad that they would block
ade the boat railroad almost constantly.
That "there are drifts now upon the
ground intended to be occupied by the
boat railroad sixty feet deep, which have
formed in a comparatively short time."
Then in another place Mr. Mohr says, .
"This boat railway scheme is to be
built over ground owned and occupied
by a private .corporation, the Columbia
Railway & Navigation company, which
owns all the right of way." Thus be
makes it eloar, if one-bad any respect for
bis word, that ' a ' portage road on the
Washington side is as impracticable as a
boat railway. If the sand drifts are an
insuperable barrier in the one case they
are in the other. It is not our intention
to follow Mr. Mohr through his twenty
three objections to the proposed boat
railway, nor his five "commercial, finan
cial and physical reasons why a boat
railway is not desirable." False aud de
ceptive as they are they will undoubtedly
succed in defeating, for the present, at
least, the boat railway scheme, and this
will all the more commit tbe people of
eastern Oregon to the Oregon . portage,
as a temporary relief.

It having been charged that Senator
Squire, of Washington,, was not aware
of the existence of the Columbia river.
a friendly paper disproves the slander
OU9 statement by quoting a brief refer
ence to the Columbia in a recent argu
ment bv Squire in favor of the lake
Washington canal. It is therefore
evident, it says, that the senator knows
more about the Columbia than was
known by Jonathan Carver, and quite
as much as was known by William Cul
len Bryant when he wrote "Thana-
topsis."

father's .presidential candidacy and took
hie defeat .much to heart." He was con-
fined to bis bed. short lv after his return
from the convention. His death is an
other sad blow to his parents who are
reported utterly prostrated with sorrow.
According to advices, from Turkestan,
the cholera is making fearful ravages in
Persia and Afghanistan. The streets of
Tnrhatyahant are strewn with unburied
corpses, and the inhabitant, as many
as can, are fleeing from the town, while
the Mollahys, Koran in hand., parade
the streets at the head of thousands of
the populace, beseeching Allah or de
. liveranee from the scourge. -
. That was a wise and seneible decision
of the Pope in regard to what is called
ihjs Cahensly agitation fn favor of foreign-born
bishops of different nationali
ties foreign-born Catholics in America.

. Now that Governor Pennoyer has
avowed his faith in the doctrines of the
peoples' party, like all new converts, he
is a little hard on his quondam brethern
of the old democratic faith.- He styles
Cleveland a "mugwump," in a manner
that leaves the.impression that he thinks
a mugwump is one of the most horrid
things in the world ; says the stuffed
prophet is an "bid fraud," and hopes the
Chicago convention "won't put him
up," calls Hill "another failure and
thinks it would be. a pity if the party
couia not onng out better men.
farmers and horticulturists should

.their products for exhibition at the com
ing district fair. Tbe list of prizes will,

ceed anything ever offered before, and
those who do not take the trouble to en
ter as competitqrs will regret it when
they ee others carry off valuable prizes
that they themselves might have won.
And now Mike Do Young's paper, the
San Francisco Chronicle, gravely an
nounces that the leaders among -the re
publicans were awfully vexed because
the Californian had not expressed a de
sire for the presidential, nomination,
telling him he could have had it just as
well as not. What a fortunate thine it
was that Do Young didn't want it.
The Monsoon commenced blowine
throughout Bengal and a large part of
Madras yesterday, less heavily than
uflaal, but sufficiently to remove anx
iety as to crops and cattle.' Ten thous

prices are falling.' Rain is still wanted
in Bunjau b and "Rapb japutana.
Some weeks ago a .resolution was
passed in the United States senate in
quiring as to the practical effect of the
reciprocity negotiations. In a lengthy
reply sent to the senate last Monday, the
acting secretary of state said, while the
"practical effect" could not be measured
bv the commerce of a -mouth or even a
year : "It is gratifying to note there has
already been a considerable increase in
onr exports, and there is good reason to
expect it will be permanent. It is
equally noticeable, too, that the exports
from Great Britain to the Latin-American
countries are falling off with even
greater rapidity, so much so as to excite
the apprehension of her commercial
organizations and impel them to seek
protection from the government. In
conclusion, the acting secretary says the
act has not only brought about the re
suit of securing the repeal of the prohibi
tion of American pork, which for ten
years had practically excluded that pro-1
duct from most of the continental coun
tries of Europe, bat has enabled the
executive to negotiate a reciprocity ar
rangement of a . highly satisfactory
character with Germany and Austria.
No satisfactory results have yet been
obtained in the negotiations with
Mexico."

nated he will "be heartily supported by
the workingmen of the state ae he has
done much for the canse of labor. On
the other hand, Dowling says the labor
organizations are opposed to Cleveland,
irrevocably, and if he is placed ia the
field they will nominate a candidate
of their own. The interests of the work
ingmen of this nation would be quite
as safe in the hands of Cleveland as in

Whatever opinion men may entertain
of the value and practicability of The
Dalles boat railway scheme it is beyond
question that Senator Dolph and Mr.
Herman have both fought earnestly for
the passage of the bill. If any blame
is attached to its defeat the blame will
rest on Goyernor Pennoyer and Paul
Mohr.
Today or tomorrow probably, says the
Walla Walla Journal, the public will be
given an opportunity to view the great
