A dispatch from Wellington is to the
effect that the appropriation (or the
rant! at the cascade of ths Colombia
river was raised to 14!39.03O instead of
1S6!I,000, ati before. This waa on
motion of Mitchell.
Thia artion, though in line with the
government policy in giving the job to
contractor ami hastening the comple
tion of the lock, makes assurance doubly
anre, and will quicken the pulse of Kaat-
rn Oregon aa a whole. The work at the
locks haa progressed at a snail's pace
for nearly a quarter of a century, and
the end haaseemedlikethe Canaan never
to be reached, an unatainable phantom.
a will-o'-the wisp, now within grasp,
bow in the distance, ever promising,
ever elusive, until hone deferred hath
made the heart sick, and here and there
a stately head has bowed beneath the
dust in the Ions years vainly waiting for
the consummation devoutly to be wish
ed, bnt apparently never to be realised.
Men have grown suspicions of their
representatives, through ignorance of
the fact that they wero impotent before
the vexing circumlocution at Washing
ton. The senators have had to endure
open aspersions and secret distrust ; like
Hawthorn's spy, have battled loyal
ly and with stout hearts in the people's
interests, butever presenting themselves
in the guise of the enemy, as a target
continually. At intervals they have
come back and put to rest these doubts,
satisfactorily explaining their conduct
and the reason of the delays, but in the
minds of many suspicion lurked, ready
to again leap into active life at the
first provocation. We do not say
all have doubted, for many have been
staunch, knowing tiie character of these
great men of Oregon. Bravely have
they worked, and now they should reap
their reward. All honor to Senator
Mitchell, Senator Dolph and Senator
Hermann, who have erected a monument
to themselves more lasting than marble,
that of patriotic regard to honest states
men for all time, from all people of
Oregon.
If we take

Hawaii we shall own a
it is something. It is said
to have the largest eontinuoualv active i
rater in the world. We .l.onld alao I
.. :. ivtn
active craters in the person of Chinese
to whom we couldn't well deny an elec
tive, and that is something too. Fx.
Armour, it is mid, has a hundred dol
lars placed on his desk every morning,
rhi:n he distributes in charity during
ihe coarse of the day. Excluding San
lays and holidays, this makes f.31,200
rear, which, for a monopolist, is not
javl, especially aa it is in addition to the
Billion or two which he occasionally
lrops into a free training school or some
hing of that sort.
Not only is there no such thing as an
riah National League in this country
ww, bat there ha not been such an or--anization
for year past. The League
raa destroyed at tire convention held in
Chicago some bait doxen year ago when
t fell into the hand of the Triangle
ang of professional Irishmen led by
Jexander Sullivan, John Finnerty, Pat
!gao, and the rest, who traded upon it
l the presidential campaign of 1888 and
jcght to make it a tender to the repub-
can machine, with theexpectation that
nllivan would be called Into Harrison's
ibinet, Egan go abroad, and the other
sefciv relative reward. Except that
gan waa given the mission to Chill
iey were all cheated. The league, how
,'er, went to it death all the same, and
aa buried beyond reach of resurrection.
The Utiea Herald say that "the tak
g of the Sandwich island wouldn't af
rd the United States It firt insular
Mtmion. The purchase of Alaska
-onght us a group of island extending
to the Pacific 20 degree of lengitade
rther east than the Sandwich group
id 10 degree further than Samoa,
onoluln i nearer Washington than i
tka." Bat the Alaskan or Aleutian
ands are not our only' island poeses
ms. Few people know that there is a
lited State colony on the island of
tvasea en the coast of Hayti. First
,xed by Yankee squatters in 1871, that
sure has apparently been ratified and
oGrmed by the action of the United
it court in trying persons accused
committing crime on the island. It

jenerat Cornpson la accredited with
-or ing two appropriation for the Ore
National Guard at the hands of this
klatnre. Th Galllxaon bill, glvitff
na 40,000, ha passed both boose
rr the governor' veto. The Fori
I, to give the National Gaard 10,000,
1 in lieu of the mill Ui, also passed both
! . iri . I -...-. ... H i a
nouses. jniTtnii "" -
cool hundred thousand dollar to oper
ate with the coming two years. The
governor cannot well veto the Ford bill
without restoring the null tax ot twin
the militia and atate university, and
adding considerably to what they will
now receive. Ford claims there was an
understanding that 'A he would increase
the sum carried in his bill from $15,000
to 930.000 a year, the governor' veto of
the (iullixon bill should bo sustained.
Hut tiullixon and his friends went back
on that and the result is a double
appropriation through combinations.
When the matter came before the House,
of passing the Oullixson bill over the
veto Ford denounced it as being in bad
faith and an outrage on the tax payers
of thia stats.
There ha recently been published in
Germany a remarkable pamphlet which
gives with minute detail a statement of
the comparative military strength of the
five great powers. Coming from Ger
many it may bo assumed that the figures
have not been twisted to exaggerate the
strength of the unfriendly nations. Vet
this document, while confessing that In
1870 Germany waa far the stronger
power, alleges that France, has now sev
enty battalions of Infantry and 276 guns
more than her enemv on the east, the
cavnlry forces being about the same on
both sides. When the conflict which
finally proved so disastrous to the
French was waging Germany's forces
were superior by 104 battalions of in fan
trv. 130 sauadrons of cavalry and 400
guns. Furthermore, the pamphlet de
dares that in case of an outbreak today
France and Russia together could put
into the field l.Oi (0,000 men and 1,700
more guns than are possessed by the en
tire triple alliance. Allowing that the
figures are only true in part and that the
pamphlet may have been scattered with
a view to breaking down opposition to
the new aruiv bills, it is evident that
France is desperately prepared to at
tempt the recovery of her former pre
cedence in Kurope. Meantime she has
been extending her littoral fortifications
along the Mediterranean, and despite
Halve great fleets could give vicorous
battle for the supremacy of that inland
sea.
This is to lie a year for aluminum.
It is no longer a thing of mystery. Al
though America has taken the lead In
manufacturing ihe sheet metal, Ger
many lias come to the front in adapting
it to many uses. The first aluminum
works were started in England in 1 ."!,
bnt thev were never successful and
were closed in The same year j
Germany started works, which have
since flourished. The Cowles process in I
vear " P""""" ' 1 "
tes. The Cowles company of Cleve-
land and Lock port now has a
branch at
Stoke-on-the-Trent in England. Under
the Cowles patent the metal is reduced
from alumina by the intense heat of j
electric currents. Xo one haa yet dis- t
covered how to extract aluminum from I
common clav Dy any cheap process..
Aluminum is nevertheless becoming
so cheap that it can be used in place of
steel, iron, tin and bras in many in
stances. When the first researches
were made in 1807 the metal was valua
ble beyond calculation. It waa simply
curiosity until ib.x, woen it was
shown at the Paris exposition. At that
time the market value was f 100 a pound.
Next year the price dropped from H to
$27 a pound. Since then there baa
been a steady decline until now it may
be obtained at 70 cents a pound.
A recent dispatch from London report
that Prince Kaiulani want her throne
back. Sheay: "Four year ago, at
the request of Thornton, then Hawaiian
cabinet minister, I waa sent away to
England to be educated privately, and
fitted for the position which by the-con-titution
of Hawaii I was to inherit.
For all these years I have tatiently,
and in exile, striven to fit myself for my
return this year to my native country.
I am now told that Thurston is In
Washington asking you to take away
my flag and my throne. No one tell me
even of this officially. Have I done
anything wrong that this wrong should
be done me and my people? I am
coming to Washington to plead for my
throne, my nation and my flag. Will
not the great American people hear me?"
The Poet-Intelligencer is opposed to
the rhododendron a a atate flower, and
says: "A a matter of common sense
something should have been selected
that waa generally distributed through
out the state, something peculiar to the
flora of this coast and something that
would be pleasing to the eye from Its
habit of growth when worn on public
days. A simple sprig of some one of oar
splendid timber tree peculiar to this
coast would have been far better."
The aad new come from Kentucky
that In the recent contest in the legisla
tors of that state over the choice of a
accessor to Mr. CsrlUle in the United
Bute senate, the Hon. Henry Watter
eon waa once more compelled to march'
through a slanghter-honae to an open
grave.

The Influx of the Russian Jews In the
last year shows that these people are not
coming merely to improve their condi
tion, but to flee from persecution. It isan
established custom in the old countries
to acquit criminals of various charges if
they will but go to America. This is
cheaper than sending them to Siberia or
keeping them within prison wall.
An exchange says that recentlv a
schnoliiiarm in the backwoods district
was teachiug a selling class. When
the word "husband" was put on the
blackboard none of the children could
pronounce it, and In order to help them
out the teacher asked : "What would I
have if I should get married?" The
answer was prompt, but not what she
expected, and she blushed such a bril
liant red that the sunlight paled.
The recent controversy between Ir.
Briggs and the church will only lead to
a new church being formed, composed
of the follower ot the two factions.
Neither the world, the church nor Ir.
Briggs has profited by the learned dis
cussion, and the devil gloats as he sees a
new field opening up for his operations
in the rivalry.

The Boston Operatic Concert Company
appeared last night before an audience
that filled every Mat in the. theater, and
left hundreds standing, and still other
unable to gain admission. That they
fully deserved the patronage bestowed
was demonstrated before the curtain bad
been up thirty minute. The musical
part of the entertainment is of especial
excellence, being far ahead of anything
hoard of in this city before. Mis Bertha
Hainan' coronet solo waa deservedly
applaaded to the echo, while the solo
upon the xylophone, by ber twin sinter,
pleased equally well. The musical pro
gram a a whole, nnder the directorship
of Mis Irene Haman, was rendered
with rare taste and intelligence. Albert
Hawthorne the basso cantanta, haa a
voice that for clearness and depth of tone,
easily bold rank among the pest bassoe
of this generation. Hi rendition of the
"Arrow and the Song" waa simply grand.
He waa recalled time after time, and it
began to look aa though the delighted
audience would keep him singing Indefi
nitely. Dolph and Susie Levi no, in
their act which they aptly style "Rival
Art," furnished th mirth and pathos
of th entertainment. Their effort have
a novelty and originality that Is well
nigh indescribable, singing, harp play
ing, drawing and story telling, all so well
and briskly done, that one hardly know
where to begin. Laughter and tears,
astonishment and constant surprise
keep the listener' mind In constant
action. The two features, however,
which seemed to stand out particularly,
was the singing of Mis Levino, with
the harp accompaniment, and the crayon
ketches of prominent men by Mr.
Levino, while the lady eulogise the
subject In song, th gentleman make
life-like crayon sketch of the feature.

At this season of the year, while the
ground is so thoronghly water-soaked,
our brother fire boys are placed in a
most hsxHrdou position, and we trust
every precaution may he vlgnwusly put
in force to prevent any sorious accident.
However, we are aware of the (act that
many accidents occur which seem to be
wholly unavoidable and no cause can
practical ly be arrived at. Few people
outside of railroad circle fully lealixe
the dangerous position in which firemen
are placed. Many time nn accident
occur at the moment the fireman is
putting in a fire, and for this reason an
escape would lie uiirnculou. However,
the great confidence placed in the engi
neer give them a much freer and easier
state of mind, and you seldom see any
one in the w hole crew in better spirits
than the fire Imy.

A pitiful story comes from Cathlamet,
Wash. : Last Monday evening Mr.
Cardinell, living a few miles out in the
country, went to the spring to get a
pail of water. While stooping over she
lost her balance and fell headlong Into
the spring. The water was only about
two feet tleep, bnt the hole was so very
gmul! that the woman wns unable to
extricate herself. The children, who
hail accompanied her, saw their mother's
predicament and graed her feet and
tugged away w ith desperation, hut they
diii not oset strength equal to the oc
casion, and after exhausting themselves,
they abandoned the attempt and dis
tractedlv returned home, not knowing
what to do. Next morning the eldest
girl decided to walk to Cathlamet and
serureaxMstauce. Alter trudging through
the deep snow some distance her
strength gave out, and becoming fright
ened she returned home. So from Mon
d.iv until Saturdav the three little ones
remained in the lions, with the dead
body of their mothor a short distance
away. The cold provisions mai were
left were soon exhausted, and not know
ing how to cook or provide for them
selves the cliliuren were in a pumu
plight when found by their lather, lie
arrived just in time to save himself
Irom being childle aa well as a widower.

The suit of A. 8. Collin and Mr. A.
S. Collin against II. Herbring. of tbi
city, which wa to come before the jury
yesterday morning, wa again post
poned. This suit against one of our old
est and well-known dry nod mer
chant create considerable comment in
commercial circle. It appear that
Mr. and Mr. A. 8. Collin obtained
under false pretense and promise at
the end of the year 1891, goods to the
amount of J50.HO from the defendant;
but instead of paying the bill, a agreed,
they shortly left the city by night and
moved to Caliurnia. Last spring Mr
Herbring heard that all their household
good, etc., were in the hand of the
sheriff of Wasco county, and consquently
placed a second attachment upon the
good held by the sheriff. A portion of
these goods were sold last (December by
the sher if of Wasco county, as no com
promise could be obtained by defendant.
And now come the plaintiffs and sue
through their attorney, Judge A. S.
Bennett, the defendant, for the sum of
f 175. We will watch this suit when it
comes before the jury, as we think it ia
one of great interest to storekeepers.
