Are the manifestations made over
rrineess Eulalie proof that royalty is
the natural condition of mankind?
Periodically Americana po wild over the
appearance of some old-country mui
Ttdual of kinply attributes and fawn
onsr him with all the enthusiasm of a
subject. Eulalie is being flattered and
feted, and her idiotic speeches are suffi
cient to throw her fair American lis
teners into transports of delight.
Should the conclusion be drawn that a
monarchial government could be easily
substituted for the present republican
form? We think not. While the dis
tinguised ladies and gentlemen who
are entertaining her in the United
States are showering upon her every
courtesy and take the opportunity pre
aented of overdoing it a little, thus show
ing their preference for a gay court life,
the brawn and brains of the country,
the vast body of the people who control
that very powerful, even if changeable
thing called public sentiment, are averse
to make any more of Eulalie than any
one else, and hardly so much. They
like heroes better, somebody who has
done something else than having been
born, and petted and pampered, and
allowed to spend fortunes for baubles
which represent the sweat-drops of
thousands of subjects. A greater num
ber of people in The Dalles will pav
reverence to the heroism of "Billy"
than Eulalie could secure in a chariot
with six white horses, over a roadway
strewn with roses.

The German is slow to complain of
high-handed action, bnt there have
been indications of late that even he is
beginning to show the temper which
"militarism" breeds, of which tlie fol
lowing is a recent utterance:
"Look here ! Paring the Franco-German
war, on both sides, there were slain
250,006 of the flower of Euroe for
what? In the Crimean war there were
killed S00.000 men ! In the Italian war
of 18o9 63,000 men lost their lives. In
the war between Austria and Russia, in
18ofi, 50,000 men laid down their lives.
The wars of "apoleon 1 eost Europe
6,000,000 men ! A la presse vout lee
fout! France has taken up arms for
some fool or tyrant 20 times Binee
1815! Twenty millions of the fairest
lives in Europe have been lain upon the
battle-field during the last century.
But is this the only curse attached to
this militarism? Let us see. During
the past 25 years the cost ot the arma
ments of Europe have been $3,000,000,
000 per year! France spends HOO.OOO
every day of her life on her army and
navy. The wars of the past century
have cost the people (140,000,000,000,
without counting the value of each life
lost. It is military mania, isn't it?
Costly! Cruel! Inhuman ! Stupendous
idiocy! The gross annual revenues of
the five great powers of Europe cost the
. people of Euroi $1.328,000,000 ; 391,
000,000 of this goes to support the armies
and navies of those five powers! Mili
tary service from five to 20 years in
harness is universal ! No man can es
cape it."
Deleware. O., has suddenly acquired
national reputation, and that of the
worst sort. It was known in a general
way that Monett Hall and the Ohio
'Weslevan universities were located
there, but it never came into real promi
nence until the action of the female sto
dents outdid their brothers by burning
the rounded arms and tender bosoms of
various students with lunar caustic to
prevent the victims from appearing
decollete at an approaching social func
tion. Scarcely had the reading public
bad time to shudder when it was in
formed that the male students had gone
far beyond the female students in that
line of cruelty. Four members of the
junior class were set upon by members
of the lower classes and beaten w ith a
redhot shovel and marked in a horrible
manner on the cheeks, chins and fore
heads with a strong solution of caustic.
"Disfigured for life" is the verdict of
the doctors. The legislature has taken
up the matter and passed a law making
hazing a felon v. Nine students have
been expelled, and now civil suits for
heavy damnges are ending. and crimi
nal indictments are promised.
It is a great pity that the Oregon Na
tional Guards could not have shown the
old soldiers tiie trifling honor of escort
ing them to the cemetery, on their mis
sion of decorating the graves of their de
parted comrades. Of all times and
plai-es this was pre-eminently where
they should have been yesterday. The
men who fonglit, bled and died that the
nation might be saved fur these grace
less scamps, have a right to expect more
than that. They are passing away; in
a few vears they will have all been gone;
a great number of them are tremulous
with age, or nnfeehled by wounds and
suffering. Company A, Third Eegiment
O. X. G. may well blush for shame that
the handful of men in The Dalles who
have survived the struggles of the war
of 'Gl-'65, inarched alone to the ceme
tery, the lessos of their patriotism so
soon forgotten, Whither are we drifting?
Memorial day was fittingly observed
in The Dalles. Besides the uu er"
vices, of the G. A. K. post, the people
generally observed the day, flag flying
at half mast in all quarters of the city,
the stores remaining closed during the
afternoon aud the newspapers suspend
ine publication for the day. The citi-
gens needed not to be reminded that the
dav was not a jubilant holiday, even the
children appreciating the saeredness of
its meaning and their usual boisterous
demonstrations were hushed during the
march of the handful of veterans, who
with martial tread preceeded by a drum
corps, took their solemn march to the
burial ground in reverent love and es
teem for the gallant men who offered
their lives in defense of the 1'nion and
the flag, and who are now bivouacked
forever.

This is the day which John A. Logan,
the old grand commander of the G. A.
R., twenty-five years ago designated for
the purpose of strewing with flowers or
otherwise decorating the graves of com
rades who died in defense of their coun
try during tlie late rebellion, and whose
bodies now lie in almost every village
and hamlet churchyard in the land.
Year by year the living ranks are being
decimated by death. Few there are now
who would be accepted for service in
another war, and soon all will roes to
that silent shore to join those gone before.

If the state boundaries are to be
changed let us not increase the siie of
the state, which is already too large, but
rather diminish it. Eastern Washing
ton added to Eastern Oregon would
make a stretch of country aliout 500
miles long by air line north and south,
with an average width of 300 miles east
and west. This is too great an expanse
of territory, in view of the rapid settle
ment, to be presided over by one seat of
government. The Columbia river is a
natural boundary and the preponder
ance of opinion, when it comes to a vote,
will urove this to be true. Eastern
! Washington are not even as willing for
! the combination as Eustcrn Oregon,
! while the clash of interests of the Pupet
! souitd with tbose of the
and its ocean harbors will as effectually
prevent a unification of territory on the
w est. Hence the question of Ismndanes
will he left for each state to solve, and
will not be one foT their joint considera
tion. "The treasury today purchased llfi,
500 ounces of silver." So say u Wash
ington dispatch of yesterday. N"W, :il
any one explain why, wit.li million of
ounces of silver on hand, the treasury
bought these 41C.500 ounces and pai l
for them in notes that are practically
redeemable in gold. Astorian.
We will try. There was an act passed
in 1890 called the Sherman act, w hich
provides that the government shall buy
4,500,80 ounces of silver each month,
paying for them in treasury notes.
There are several newspapers w ho have
lieard of this and at odd times have com
mented on its wisdom very caustically, j
We will save some of these clippings np I
and send them to you the next time we j

MARKET REPORT.
Thibsway, June 1, 1893. There
been a decided improvement in the
ferent lines of trade during the week.
Business has been given a new impetus
by the wool movement, although few
sales have been made np to date. Mer
chants are replenishing their stocks and
are getting np to activity in the daily
routine of trade. Prices in general lines
remain steady, excepting that of sngar,
which Iras advanced of a cent on all
than during the past few weeks, it is en
tirely due to the low prices that have
been accepted. Some large lines of wool
have been cleaned up, but it has not
been liecause manufacturers were hun
gry for supplies. The latteras a rule are
taking only what they need, but In the
cases noted the seller accepted bids that
the buver considered safe and the latter
got the wool. Of these sales noted, the
one of 100,000 pounds Michigan delaine,
which was cleaned np at 2"'sc. was the
greatest surprise to the trade. The bal
ance of the lot sold two months ago at
32c to the same buyer, who cleaned np
the last of it this week. The trade feel
that the price obtained was very low,
but the wool was to be sold, and the
holder was doubtful of getting as good
price bid if the wool was held until new
fleeces began to come in with any free
dom. Reports from the west note conditions
very unsatisfactory there. Some local
buyers bought wools early at prices that
stand them a sharp loss on the present
market, and they are consequently try
ing hard to hold values up.
Ohio fine wools are very dull, and
while but few are held here these have
to I sold at a low price to find a buyer.
One lot of XX and delaine was cleaned
up at 2" i "8c, while other lots of XX on
the market are offered at ".'Sc. Any lots
to command above L'Sc would have to be
very fancy, and to find a sjecial buyer
who wanted it. For X Ohio the market
is nominal at 26c, with X Michigan at
25c, hut any free offerings would have
to lie at concessions. Combing fleeces
are verv dull, w ith No. Is scarce and
nominal. No. 1 clothing fleeces are also
j scarce and nominal in price. Unwashed
tine fleeces are slow of sales with fat

1 For t.:' and 38 blood wools, the market
' is very dull, with prices quoted lc lower.
The f.-eling at preent is that in the Cue
i wool sections of Ohio, ala.ut -'Uc w ill be
all that buyers can pay, but the growers
! at present are not lovt n to that figure,
i Some eastern dealers claim that 18 to
l!lc is all that they will risk, and the
niot unfavorable feature is that every
day their views apcar to grow more
depressed instead of lietter. A large op
! crator who sent his limit to buy out the
' firt of the week, notified his agent, yes
: terday, to cut prices 2c, as he did not
j care to run the rii-k of loading np at the
figures he had named previously.
The trade have got money as a rule,
and do not promise to run great risks of
losing it, w hen the prosjiects of success
are so unfavorable. They will take a
limited amount of wool at a price, but
it will have to be well down to the "free
wool" basis, as the chances appear
great that much of it. w ill have to 1
held over till the tariff change is made.
The woolen manufacturer is not going to
make anymore goods than he lias a sure
market for nntil the tariff change has
been effected, and consequently will not
require the amount of raw material of
ormer years. The wool held over will
have to go at the "free wool" basis, and
no one desires the pleasure of carrying
it, except at a price that will make him
safe.
Pulled wools are dull and gradually
working down.

J. Cooier, commission salesman of
horses, 1'nion Stock Yards, Chicago,
says :
"The receipts for the oening of the
week fell considerably short of the pre
vious couple of weeks, and as there were
many new buyers on the market, prices
stiffened at least 10 per cent, over last
week's quotations. Drivers, as usual
of late, commanded most attention and
sold at prices generally conceded the
equal of the highest prevailing so far
this spring. Good ssiooth chunks,
lHHViyOO lit., also sold well, aud
streetera, so much depressed for two
weeks back, sold freely, $10 to 12.M)
per head lietter."

The produce market is in lietter con-' some sellers might make concessions

, quite adequate for home consumption,
j Eastern Oregon potatoes are very scarce
; and are at a premium, being quoted at
; $2.50 to $3.00 per 100 pounds. Valley
are in fair supply at $2.50 per 100 Ils.
i New potatoes are found in a limited
! supply in the market at 5 and 6 cents
I per lb. Green peas are seen in several
places and find sale at Band 10 cents per
lb. Green gooseberries are plentiful
and have a limited demand. Straw-
berries, that Is home grown, are becom
j ing more plentiful in the market and are
quoted by the crate at 15 to 17 cents per
box.
Livestock that is fit for the block, has
declined and 2'4' to 2' cents per pound
on foot in about the regular market for
grass fed beef. Mutton sheep are in
good supply and the market is some
what depressed. $2.50 to $3.00 per head
is the present range with a probable de
cline on these quotations. Live hogs,
fit for slaughter, are scarce in the face of
from this price if they could g"t a Wter
bid. No one h-els disposed to hold wool
w here they can sell it, as they feel that
a low price this week may mean a good
sale a lew days hence from the ay the
market is working. I'.ut few new Texas

nominal. The stock of old Montana

the prices domestic wools are quoted, a
buyer cannot pay the duty on the former

price is firm, from the fact that the
