THE IDAHO CAM PAWS.
In the absence of anything at home
interesting in campaign work, it may
not be inappropriate to call attention to
the vim displayed at the beginning in
Idaho. The campaign opened on the
Dart of the republicans at Sand Point
yesterday, and our dispatches show
that it was rightly opened. The point
made tljat the peoples party is a part of
the product of anarchism is rightly
taken, and it is curious to know whether
the farmers of this country are prepared
to receive its dictation in the future,
Farm strikes would indeed be some
thing new ;' and they may be looked for
if the third party succeed in placing a
few anarchists in power. That is what
it is intended for, beyond doubt.
The democrats of Idaho are totally
demoralized politically. There has ap
peared on the scene in Idaho democratic
politics a lot of political adventurers
who have combined for the purpose of
retiring the old party workers whom
they term mossbacks. Such men as
Hailey, Ainslie, Stevenson, Wilson and
others who have sacrificed the best days
of their lives in advocacy of what they
term Jacksoniun democracy, have been
eat down upon, and Tammany methods
are to be Substituted. Certainly the
friends of these gentlemen who have
been so ruthlessly retired do not feel
very sympathetic toward those who are
in the combination. Then again the
action of the recent democratic house in
repealing the tariff on lead has not had
a tendency to stiffen the backbone of
those democrats who are Interested in
the mines. It is predicted that they
will make a very email showing when
the polls are counted in November.
THE LOTTERY POISON.
There are three. mliarmbnibue factions
in the Hawaiian legislature, and that
aucust Lodv is hivinsr a' very- serious
fp ' -
time over the proposition of the Louis
iana lottery comnanv. , A bill waB read
in the legislature August 30th, granting
an exclusive franchise to P. H. Cross,
of Chicago ; S. W. B. Davenport, of St.
Louis; and John Phillips, J. J. Will
iams and Dr. Gilbert Foote, of Hono
lulu, for a term of twenty-five years ; the
company to pay for the franchise $500,
000 each year in quarterly installments.
The minister of the interior is to dis
burse this sum for the following pur
poses : An ocean cable between Hono
lulu and any port on the North Ameri
can continent connecting with tne
American telegraph system, $100,000
per annum ; a subsidy for the construe
tion of a railroad around Oarra island
of $50,000 per annum ; subsidy for a rail
road through Hilo and Hamadua,$30,000
per annum; roads, bridges, -landings
and wharves in the Hawaiian kingdom
$175,000 per annum ; improving Hono
lulu harbor, $50,000 per annum; en
couragement of industries in the king
dom, $50,000 per annum. If, however,
the reciprocity treaty with the United
States is abrogated, the last two items
are to be applied to building drydocks,
The last item is $2o,000 for the en
curagement of tourists travel and im
migration. The capital stock of the
company is nxea at o,uw,wu, ou.uuu
shares, which may be increased to $10.
000,000. The bill provides that two com
missioners snail be appointed dv tne

queen at a salary of $6,000 per year to
reside at all drawings or tne lottery.
'he grantees are to be exempted from
all taxes and license fees and to have
the use of the Hawaiian mails. The bill
has created much disscussion, and
thouch there is a strong opposition pre
sent appearances favor the passage of
the bill.
It is reported that President fllll of
the Great Northern has taken another
important step. He has filed a notice
of withdrawal from the western traffic
association. This was not unexpected,
as his contempt for that organization
has always been evident, and his ulti
mate withdrawal at a time when he was
fully able to hoe his own row was regard
ed as a matter of course. A glance at
the railroad map and a knowledge of
rate-making will show that the Union
Pacific cannot remain a member and be
hampered by the association rules when
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific are free lances. It is confidently
believed that the Union Pacific will with
draw this week. When this inevitable
result occurs, there can be no further
thought of continuing the association in
its present form, nor in any other so far
proposed. Chicago officials see no hope
of any new agreement until the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific come
to an understanding. Until then
through traffic will go by the board, and
every energy will be bent toward foster
ing local business.
It is gratifying upon reaching a half
way station in the national canvass to
observe that some of the most optimistic
predictions concerning it are being entirely-
fulfilled. Up" to the present,
with but few exceptional instances, the
batting has been right along the
line of the main issue.- From coast to
coast there has been abundance of ora
tory and proselyting. Sir. Reid has his
coat off and Is working as if he earned
wages by the piece; Mr. Stevenson is
scurrying hastily about in high-tariff
districts; the presidential candidates
are conducting - themselves discreetly,
and Messrs. McKinley, Reed, Boies and
others are directing the steam of their
persuasive talk into willing ears. And
everywhere this campaign, is "being
lougnx intelligently, considerately,
coldly even politely on the question
of the tariff. Of personality there is but
little; of blackguarding none . at all.
The inevitable result of tins state of af
fairs is that no voter need go to tho polls
next November without a clear, -conviction
'as to bow he is going to vote and
why. No flying rumor or belated per
sonal diatribe should be able to deflect
one degree the convictions made up in
weeks of calm study of the situation.

Lieut. Totten, the millennium crank
of .Yale college, says in a recent letter:
"The time will come when you hear of
some person, it may be in your own
family, who is gone and no trace can
be found of them. You will wonder,
and the first you know some other
person in eome other fumTly will also be
missing. Disappearances will become
common, and no one caiVexplain them."
If Totten will only inaugurate the move
ment he Mill .receive the thanks of a
long-suffering people. But, professor,
can those who are to remain and do the
wondering select the wonders?

Not one of the inhabitants of this
country who has its best interests at
heart will deny the justice of President
Harrison's arraignment of the steam
ship companies, which are still bringing
immigrants from infected ports.' Mr.
Harrison properly characterizes it as an
outrage, and intimates that in case the
offendini? comnanies nersist in it. we
"may be compelled to turn back their ! party will carry
pest-laden vessels." The particular of
fender at the present juncture is the
Hamburg-American company, which,
knowing the freedom from taint en
joyed by this country, has been sending
over cholera-stricken - pilgrims from
Hamburg, the very hotbed of the pest.
If the officials of this line have not con
science OT sense enough to slop this
jeopardizing of i he inhabitants of this
continent, they should be made to stop.
By everv law of decency" they should
not be allowed to bring any more infec'
tion to onr shores. If they do not rec
ognize this moral bond, Mr. Harrison
will be justified in taking any measures
in his power to . punish them for their
infamous conduct.

The East Oregonian has a theory that
- disease exists in ratio to the ignorance
- of the masses of the people. We be
lieve that with the coming of universal
intelligence and freedom, disease and
pain will decrease until humanity is
comparatively free from its ravages.
'The cholera scare of tho present time
bears us out in this statement. The
dreaded disease hails from the most
poverty-stricken districts of the world,
where the ignorance of the masses is
more denso than anywhere elee on the
face of the earth. Now look at the dif
ferent ways of handling the disease, in
telligently in America, and so lacking
in intelligence in other portions of the
. world.
The fools may not all be dead, but
thev are- killing themselves off at a
lively rate. The latest is "Pretty Lulu
Godfrey, a 16-year-old tvpe writer of
San Jose, who killed herself yesterday
for the following "gentle" reproof of
conduct by her mother. She had been
with a young man to witness a fire.
Her mother met her at the door on her
return, and in the preeence of the young
man upbraided Lulu for remaining out
so late. '"I have telegraphed your step
father, and when he comes he'll thrash
you till your flesh falls off," said the
angry mother. The girl, overcome with
grief and mortification, went to -her
room and fired a bullet into her brain
The mother is prostrated with grief,
The affair has created a great sensatiou.
as the young lady is well and favorably
known among a wide circle of friends.
' Yesterday began what promises to be
the best state fair ever held in Oregon.
The exhibits are varied and complete
and more fine stock is shown than ever
before. The races also promise to be an
excellent feature of the fair. But it is
a question yet to be decided, whether
any fair can be run successfully without
the aid of a little home production
printers ink.
The East Oregonian cites as an in
stance of what thrift and industry will
accomplish in Eastern Oregon, the case
of a farmer near Pendleton who came to
that section nine years ago a poor man.
He now owns 1,000 acres of the finest
farm lands, not more than one acre of
l-!t. : a e . m. ....

one instance among hundreds in the In

Two thousand men at work along the
line of the Great Northern west of the
Cascades. The work on the big tunnel
at the summit has not yet been com
menced, but switchback is being built
up the side of the mountain. Only
about ninety miles remain to be built to
join the two ends of the line, but as the
unfinished portion is all heavv rock
work, the road can hardly be completed
before April. Everything used by the
men and teams has to be freighted up
on wagons from Snohomish, and costs
enormous prices. Hay is $100 per ton,
and potatoes 6 cents per pound, with
other necessaries of life at similar figures,
The regions now known as Wasco,
Sherman, Gilliam, Grant and Crook
counties were famous for their gold
product forty years ago. And today the
vast mineral belt which stretches east
ward from the Cascade mountains to
the boundary line of Oregon has just as
many mines, and jest as famous for
richness of its gold and silver-bearing
specimens as formerly. The only thing
is men are too busy to prospect.
There are some very queer things
found in the Cascade mountains. Near
the summit of the range, east of Rose
burg, were recently found porphyry
boulders that so' closely resembled
watermelons in size, shape and color,
that it would puzzle an expert to tell
the difference without putting his hands
on them.
The Yukon river, which is now navi
gable for steamers of 14-foot draught for
300 miles, can, with very little improve
ment, be made navigable for 1,600
miles. The region lying along the river
is marvelously rich in minerals and is
attracting much attention. -
Can any region duplicate the quality
of the grape crop of vineyards near The
DaheS? Samples from Mr. Cushings
from Seuferi 8, and from the Columbia
river fruit company's Mill creek ranch,
lead us to positively say, No.
And this is the opinion of Professor
Lorant, the French chemist, who is
preparing Wasco fruit. for exhibition, at
his room over A. A. Brown's store on
Second street. The size of the Wasco
county grapes is a wonder, but the size
is not its only special recommendation
The dry hilly soil of Mr. Cushings'
place is proof that thia region is adapted
to the production of grapes every wav
superior to those of the choicest lands
of California, or the more favored vine
yards of France. The climate here is
so dry, and. the freedom from
fog so uniform, that all the grape
has to do is- to grow and
mature, and ripen - with all the
desirable flavor and solidity for which
the grape is noted under the most
favorable circumstances. A simple test
is all that is required to sustain these
statements and while we regret our in
ability to furnish the practical test to
all of our wide circle of acquaintances,
we take pleasure in the dissemination of
the facts by publication so far as they go.
and follow up the publication as much
possiDJO witn tne samples, winch are
sent to a few friends in Portland and
Astoria, to let them understand that
what Tiik Chronicle may say about
Dalles fruit is equally as reliable as what
may be said -for other abundant re
sources of the Inland km pi re and an
open river. -

A Chance For Protest.
Telegram. Now is President Harri
son's chance to manifest his interest in
foreign affairs. The introduction of the
lottery bill into the Hawaiian legislature
gives opportunity for a first-class protest
from this government. The lottery has
been weeded out of this country because
of its demoralizing influence. If it gets
a foothold at Honolulu it will continue
to prey upon Americans. Practically
there is but little difference between the
lottery being established at Honolulu
and New Orleans.
