Address all eommnnleetlon to " THE CHRON
ICLE." The-DaUee, Oregon.
SENATOR JOHN H. MITCHELL.
There is no doubt but that Hon. John
H. Mitchell will be here, to address the
people of The Dalles, at the Court house,
on the 26th, on the political issues of the
day. Mr. Mitchell's presence at that
time will insure the largest meeting
ever held in this city.
THE FACTS ABOUT WOOL.
Justice, Bateman & Co., a firm of
wool-buyers, not desiring to see the
wool-growing industry ruined by the re
moval of the tariff, are supplying the
country with statistics on the price of
wool which give Mr. Springer, author of
J!he free wool bill in the last house, deep
concern. Mr. Justice has shown , that
during the past twenty-five years Amer
ican wool has been worth on the average
61 per cent, more than the same grades
have been worth in London, and a part
of his figures have been taken from
Springer's own report. Mr. Springer
attempted to reply to this showing in a
speech at DeKalb, Illinois, a few days
later, and while admitting that the
quotations on American wools were
taken from his own figures, urged in
reply that the London quotations were
false and misleading. However, he had
: no London quotations of his own to offer
in rebuttal and fell back on his report to
the house. In that report he said :
It was clearly demonstrated that the
experience of the past quarter of a cen
tury of high protective tariffs in wool
and woolen goods has proved the policy
to be disastrous to the wool grower, dis
astrous to the wool manufacturer, and
disastrous to the American consumers.'
These are wild and random utterances,
incapable of substantiating and un
worthy a man of national prominence.
Reference to the statistical abstract of
the United States shows that in 1867 (25
years ago) the United States produced
160,000,000 pounds of wool ; in 1891 the
home production was 285,000,000 pounds.
' This does not look much like "disaster
to the wool-grower." In 1867 the woolen
mills of this country consumed 197,231,
350 pounds of wool ; in 1891 the con
eumption had increased to 411,373,603
pounds. That does not sound very "dis
astrous for the American wool manu
facturer." Here in the west, where the people
are offered . free wool and protected
manufactures, the plea is raised that the
removal of the tariff would stimulate
American manufacture and provide , a
still better market for the home product.
This is entirely fanciful, and finds no
substantiation in the statistics compiled
by the government, or elsewhere. Prior
to 1861 the tariff on wool was merely
nominal. In 1860 our total consumption
-was only 85,334,876 pounds; or a little
more than a fifth of the present con
sumption, and the home production that
year was but 60,264,913 pounds, or one
fifth of the present yield. In the same
jear the United States imported but
26,125,891 pounds, againBt importations
last year of 129,303,658. In other words :
Since the tariff was adopted in 1861 the
United States has increased its product
ion and importations of . wools and its
manufactures of woolens 500 per cent !
And yet Mr. Springer has the hardihood
to stand before an American audience
and affirm that the protective policy has
"proved disastrous to the wool-grower
and the manufacturer."
Hon. M. C. George, chairman of the
Portland bridge commission, has re
signed because of a league in the com
mission that had come prepared to let a
contract to build a bridge for $280,000, to
be completed in 15 months, when there
was another offer to build the same kind
of structure for $255,000 to be completed
in 12 months. He did sot propose to
have a hand in a transaction tHat would
needlessly and recklessly throw away
$25,000 of the people's money. He did
not wish to antagonize the other mem
bers of the board, for he had been
treated very kindly. "In consequence
of thia," said Mr. George, "I tender my
resignation as chairman of the commis
sion, and ask that it be at once ac
cepted." ' .
"It is perhaps early for Thanksgiving
dinner announcements, but the M. E.
church ladies of Eugene are in the field.
They have decided to erect a new par-
; eonage. To secure funds to aid them
they are going to give a thanksgiving
-dinner, and are anxious that the other
. denominations and the kind public of
Eugene patronize them. They will
have an excellent dinner, and a - good
time may be expected. '

MAKE A NOTE OF THIS.
You are hereby requested to take
general charge and direction of the exe
cution of the statutes of the United
States touching the appointment of su
pervisors of elections and special deputy
marshals, and the performance of their
duties and their compensation, so far as
these subjects are, by the constitution
and laws, under the supervision' and
control of the executive branch of the
government.
This is an exact copy of an official or
der issued and signed by the president
of the United States. It was addressed
to the attorney general. It relates to
the enforcement of the United States su
pervisors law, sometimes referred to by
democrats as the force bill, and it di
rects the attorney general to "do what
ever is necessary to carry out the pro
visions of the law. The order is unique.
No similar one was ever issued from
the White House before or since.
In order that democratic papers may
not make the mistake of jumping on to
President Harrison for issuing this or
der, they are respectfully informed that
it was signed Qrover Cleveland, and
issued by him on October 5, 1888, just a
month before the presidential election
in which he was a candidate. Pursuant
to the order Mr. Cleveland's attorney
general, Garland, issued instructions to
the United States marshal of Tennessee
to select none but reliable men to serve
on election day, and the marshal issued
orders to his deputies to aid and assist
the United States supervisors in en
forcing the law and securing a fair elec
tion. All this was done in the eighth
month of the fourth year of the first
term of Grover Cleveland, who thus de
serves the honor of being the only presi
dent that ever issued a general order for
the execution of "the force bill."
A dispatch from Yankton, South Da
kota states that Judge Smith has issued
a writ of mandamus to compel the com
missioners of Charles Mix county to es
tablish voting places on the Yankton
Indian reservation. This is in the in
terest of the people's party. The board
of commissioners are endeavoring to
prevent the Indians from voting. There
are 700 on the reservation who have
taken land in severalty but who are not
considered qualified voters. The com
missioners were petitioned to establish
voting places, but declined. The In
dians, however, acting upon .the advice
of consul, decided to compel the commis
sioners to take action.
The Hungarian and Italian miners
who have for years had numerous fac
tional fights in the Pennsylvania mines,
had a serious conflict on Monday. The
dispatch says blood flowed like water,
a continuous fire from pistols was kept
up by both sides, but 'stilettos and
knives played an important part and
they were used with telling effect. The
noise of the combat soon startled the
whole mountain side, and men arrived
from everywhere. Fully twenty min
utes' work of catting and slashing was
kept up. How many Italians were
shot cannot be told, but injury only
seemed to add to their ferocity.
It has developed that the Santa Fe
road is hiring operators to take the
places of the strikers on the Gulf, Colo
rado and Santa Fe. Forty operators
passed' through Kansas city yesterday
on their way south, twenty-two from
Chicago and eighteen from St. Louis.
It is apprehended that this means a sus
pension of negotiations with the strikers,
and it will, result in a strike on the
whole system. -
Lucy Stone says the statement that
Mrs. Martin, Victoria Woodhull, is the
candidate for president of the National
women suffrage association, is wholly
without foundation. "The association
has no presidential candidate," she
says, "and we do not even know the
person who is said to have nominated
here
in the Presbyterian synod yesterday,
members of the judicial committee were
appointed to pass on the complaint
against Dr. Briggs, the alleged heretic.
After it is considered by this committee,
it will come before the synod. The com
mittee is considering it this afternoon.
Dr. Newman Hall, the great British
divine, preached his last sermon from
the text, "God so loved the world!"
This, he told his congregation, was the
first text he ever learned, the text he
first preached from, and should now be
the last text of their pastor.
The executive committee of the Na
tional Negro tariff reform association or
ganized at Indianapolis yesterday. They
are engaged in preparing an address to
the colored voters of the United States.
They will urge colored voters to vote
the democratic ticket. "
Bernhardt scorns the cholera microle
as an absurd illusion. She haB offered
to go to any one of the so-called cholera
stricken towns and give a benefit in
favor of the alleged victims of cholera.

Spanish minister affixed their signatures

AN INCREASE jOF RESP0N8I-
-; BILITY.
It is asserted by many men of science
that electricity will in time supercede
the horse as a means of traction power.
Not only will he disappear from the
street cars, but it is quite possible he
may also resign his monopoly of cart
pulling and other plebian branches of
employment. No scheme of electric
application, however, dispenses with
him altogether. On the contrary, the
very fact of bis fiel3 being closed in the
directions mentioned only widens it in
others. These includehis pre-eminence
as a racer, his use in equestrianism, in
the circus and such adaptions as may be
represented by the family carriage and
the social drive. If the horse hereafter
lives out his destiny on these lines it
will be interesting to note the influence
of these new conditions on the novel of
the future. Readers of lighter literature
cannot but have observed the part - this
animal has ever played in romance.
From the wooden horse of Troy down to
the latest successful story, his agency
has always been prominent and in most
cases all important. The number of in
stances in which the hero becomes, ac
quainted with the heroine by valiantly
stopping her runaway steed is countless
as the sands of the sea, while the plots
where the villains are conveniently dis
posed of by their horses dashing over
precipices, rearing and falling upon
them, etc., would give the multiplica
tion table a time of it to calculate. Suf
fice it that he is one of the most needful
tools of the story writer. Not without
reason was Pegasus taken by the an
cients as the finest type of imagery and
invention.
Hence, as has been said, it will he in
teresting to study the horse in litera
ture under the new state of affairs pre
dicted by science. . With the broaden
ing of his activities as an agent of so
cial pleasure, he must almost necessar
ily appear more frequently in the novel
of the future in his various capacities as
the friend of the hero and the Nemesis
of villainy. With what degree of orig
inality he will discharge his increase of
responsibilities it rests with our authors
perhaps to say, but it will be at least
something to have got him out of the
street car. - And one must appreciate
that, with every visit to Portland. Su
peranuated Jo Holliday's bob-tail ar
rangement is the only existing relic of
hosB cars in Oregon, and it is pitiful in
a whole city full, passengers he has
none. It is a shame and disgrace to the
consolidated city. But just wait till
Tom Wood gets a hold on it. -
Official statistics of the barley crop of
France show a yield of 17,626,4333. hec
tolitres, against 26,523,978 last, year.
Of oats the yield is 35,858,580 hectolitres,
against 106,627,396 in 1891. ,
