OFFICII I AXAKCHISTS.
We would be pleased imieed to note
onie iniltea;ioii
corporations and
somewhere that tne
wealth of the country
are not above the reach of the law. We
have diligently watched the course of
congress, only to fiud that tlie trust
controlled It. Turning to the president
we find that Ilavemeyer epenks, and
his lips, once eloquent in defense- of the
common people, grow dumb. The
United States courts are brought into
prominence with questions in hich the
citizen and the corrationa are loth
before it. and.the citizen goei to the wall.
As a last resort, a commission is ap
pointed to examine into these same
questions of labor ond cnpital, both be
ing charged with the same offense
boycotting; but t'ue lalnir is tritJ, while
the corporations are asked no questions.
If there ever was an unholy conspiracy
in this country, it was that of the Amer
ican board of railway managers, yet
none of these are tried.
Coriorations
that have flagrantly violated every para
graph of the interstate commerce law ,
from the day it was promn!gate!, ac
knowledge the existence of that law
only when it is invoked to protect them.
We do not believe in anarchy ; we do
believe in the strict enforcement of the
laws.
Let the railroads, pause, und the
United States courts and congress
change their course. Let them be law
abiding before their example is followed
and the jeopIe also become anarchists.
The worst anarchy in the United States
is that whose doctrines arc promulgated
by congress, the courts and the corpo
rations. Let them beware when their
example is followed by the people.
THE OM.Y SOLITOX.
The price of wheat has steadily de
creased for a number of years and now
it haa reached a point w here production
except under the moet favorable circuni
stBtces is unprofitable. There is one
remedy for this and only one. Under
present eondAions the larger proportion
of the wheat belt cannot be used for
other crops. It is true that Eastern
Oregon produces the finest of melons
and fruits bat the whole country cannot
be nsed for that purpose. It is a natural
wheat country and should be used in
producing that crop. The remedv lies
in the disposal of it. It must be sent to
market, not in the shape of breadstuffs
but as meat. Oregon has never raised
the hog products she consumed but the
preaent prices of wheat are going to force
her to do so. Now the cost of getting
the wheat to a shipping point, is the
largest portion of the expense. The
bills for threshing, sacks and hauling
taking np all the profile. When all of
these items are dispensed with, and a
couple of men can drive the whole crop
to market in one or two days, there will
be something left for the farmer, but
under present conditions the crop eats
itself op on the way to market.
OF GREAT FAITH.
Professor Falb'a predictions of earth
quakes and tidal waves have their amus
ing side. We are reliably informed that
many persons are leaving the seaside on
this account, showing that some people
are prone to believe. Without intended
slight to the great professor's scientific
attainments, we mnst confess to a spirit
of unbelief in his dire prognostications.
Of course it is a serious tbiog when
Jupiter and the other big fellows get in
conjunction with Uranus, but we don't
see why this should give our good old
mother eartb the cholera morbus. We
think the professor is wrong in his
diagnosis. The situation reminds as of
what an old miner said of the geologist.
"That they reminded him of gnat on
the back of an elephant, formulating an
opinion concerning the internal con
struction of the animal from the appear
ance of the hide." Jupiter with his
moons, isn't going to affect us, and if
Satsrn goes fooling round too near,
Havemeyer and the sugar ring will
absorb him. The only damaire that will
oe aone oy me proiewor collection of
stars will be to break the seaside hotels,
TO T.E A CITY.
Hood liiver today publishes notice
of ber intention to incorporate. This ia
n excellent move and one that ia being
bandied judicioualy, the boundaries of
the city-to-be being lufTicient for ber
growth. We believe that the future of
that charming little town ia full of prom
ise. SurTonndtd by prolific soil,
located on the grandest river in the
orld, a 8witierland tor scenery and a
olUtiul lor prolifu'iie, her psihilitie
are incalculable. I here the apple is in
Idigenous, which i only one of the
' reason whv we believe it to be the loca
tion of the original sardcu of K.den. It

- The oftice of nperintendent of water
linea for the O. R. -V N. haa been ubol -
ished, and Captain IVgram.who held
that nosilion. ia on the retired liat. He
j js taking a uincli-needed rest, and giv-
( BS the

Itout lines a chaure. Captain
came here from the East, hav-
I ju- fcn jn tu0 steamboat business for
number of year on the Mississippi, and
was well quaiitied for the poaition be
cause lie was a relative of the superin
tendent. He knew nothing about the
Columbia or what was required on it,
and it was through his management that
the middle Columbia was left without a
company boat. The captain says he is
pleased to 1 released from the heavy j
duties of the office, a pleasure that will
be generally aud generously shared by
the traveling public.
The dispatches announce the engage
ment of Miss Florence Pullman, daugh
ter of the sleeping car highwayman, to
the Prince of Isenburg-Birstein, "eldest
son of Prince Churlee of Isenburg-Uir-steiu
and the Archduchess Marie Louise
, 0f Austria, and cousin of the emperor of
Austria." It may lie possible that aome
of the elite of the effete East iaur be
interested in snch news as the above,
but the great mass ol the American peo
ple have no more interest in Miss Pull
man's niahei than they have in those
of the coffee-colored descendants of bet
ter men than Pullman, down in the
cotton belt. The fact that an American
girl has used her father's ill-gotten
wealth to purchase a title is i:ot calcu
lated to awaken anv enthusiasm.
Thu president is still at Gray Gabies,
and has given no indication of bis inten
tions concerning the senate bill. Secre
tary Carlisle has shown what his opin
ion is by sending out circular letters of
instructions to the collectors of customs.
He evidently has a pointer. The sus
pense will necessarily come to an end
next Monday, for at 1 :30 o'clock on that
day the time in which the president
may sign or veto the hill will have ex
pired. It is generally conceded that the
bill will not be vetoed, and the only
question is whether it will become a
law with or without the president's sig
nature. It makes no difference which
course is pursued, but it will probably j
be the latter.
The Oregonian today gives a general
review ot the business situation. Iroin
which we gather that there is n distinct !
improvement in all lines of business.
A canvas of the wholesale hou.e ni
Portland shows that trade ia much bet
ter than a year ago, and steadily im
proving. About the only line in which
unusual dullness is reported ia that of
agricultural implements. With wheat
at thirty cents a busbel, or less, the
farmer does not feel like putting any
money into machinery ; in fact he can't
and so he learns from necessity to get
along with what be haa.
It is no doubt true that Weather Ob
server Pague knows more about hand
ling tbia Oregon weather than any man
living. ' He is at present in Washing
ton, and his place ia being occupied by
Mr. Plan lord. The latter is a clever
gentleman, but he no sooner gets hold
of the weather valves than trouble com
mences. When he orders a cold wave
fresh from the Japan gulf stream, it
gets here a sweltering steam bath from
the mouth of the Ganges. The weather
gets away from him every time, and
rtina nntil it overheats itself.
The curious old Latin phrase "Ilabet
bovem in lingua," ban pazzled many
good Latin scholars. It is translated
"He has a cow on bia tongue." The
expression originated with the late Sen
ator Nesmith, who when he crossed the
plains with an ox team, on losing one of
his oxen yoked np a cow and worked
her on the otT wheel, and of course
hitched to the tongue. On being asked
concerning bia outfit the great linguist
osed theqnotation which we have noted,
"Ilabet bovem in lingua."
The first thing the legislature should
do next winter ia to pass bill increas
ing the salary of the assessor. The office
is real It the most imnortnnt niu in lh
county and tbn hardest to fill. Its duties
are disagreeable, and ita work dim!
The assessor should be paid as much or
more than the clerk or sheriff.
Goldendale is to have new paper

but it has passed a war bet-mine the

lit SAVED
HIS BOOTS.
Col. J. M. Winstead klaed himself at
Richmond, Virginia, yesterday by jump
ing from one of the towers of the city
ball, the jump measuring 170 feet, all
down. Tho colonel showed that he ap-
predated the magnitude of the leap,
j and considerately removed bis boots be
fore making the effort. The dispatches
arc wofully deficient as to the causes of
the colonel's leap, or as to why he re
moved his galligaskins and shoes before
taking the fateful plunge. It matters
not, however, but since the colonel and
his title both became obsolete at one fell
plunge, an obsolete word will describe
the appearance (decidedly the last one!
of the remains. The resultant corpse,
with the colonel knocked out of it. was
a gashful sight.

they are doing at a very rapid rate, and
every day the bill remains unsigned is
adding thousands of dollars to their
profits. Ia it possible that the president
is keeping faith with the whiskey trust
as Gorman did with the augar combina
tion? It certainly looka that way.
It ia said that the champion jaw-
smiths, Corbett and Jackson, have at
last agreed upon the terms and place for
meeting to settle a little difference of
opinion between tbemselvee aa to which
is the better, man. It may be the de
lirium tremens of n-stheticism to draw
the color line between two terriers, but
it see ma to us Jackson ought to be above
putting himself on a level with that
class of vhite trash.
The Pendleton Tribune tells of a dog
being run through a threshing machine
near that place and concludes the state
ment by saying the half minute's run
cost $100 for concaves, and $100 for dog,
and the dog disappeared backwards.
From this the query naturally arises
was that dog annihilated without injur
ing his bark?
That silly question "Is marriage a
failure?" is again being debated in the
newspapers. Without giving the mat
ter any extended thought, it strikes us
there can be but one answer. As far as
we are concerned it seems to us that it
was quite the proper thing on the part
of our parents. What do you think of
the proposition as concerns yours?
The Chinese claim to have whipped
the Jape at Ping Vang, and also at
Chung Ho. This does not necessarily
mean that they had a fight. Under the
China-Japanese rales tho only thing
that may be properly classed as contra
band of war is the telegraph dispatches.
That's what all tbe fighting is done
with.
Congress will probably adjourn next
week. The tariff bill will be settled
Monday afternoon, and tbe minor mat
ters pending will be dropped as soon as
that is done. It will be a relief to know
that they are done, and to find some
thing besides the dispatches from Wash
ington, in the newspapers.
IT
THE MARKETS
I'kihav, Aug. 24th. There ia a quiet,
steady tone to bunlneas in nearly all de
partments of the' merchandise trade,
with conditions not materially changed.
The feeling ia that the settlement of the
tariff will help conditions somewhat by
ending the uncertainty that ha Pre
vailed ao long, noil thus iniliieing more
activity in general biiiinc.
The market for drv rood i telv.
and a fair buaineaa la done.
In groceriea there is a luir movement
with steady prices.
There is a sluggish tone to the grten j
and dried fruit market, with downward j
tendency. J
Produce in geueral is in large supply i
and prices nominal. Potntov are
quoted at 75c per lOOlbn. .
Hay quotations vary according to the
disposition of buyers. The market
ranges from $7.50 to 8 per ton for baled
! wheat hny ; timotbv 1! to 2 per ton
! baled. ' .
The poultry market ia exceedingly
dull and prices range nominally from
$1.40 to $2 per dozen.
The market for egga ia not attractive
as the demand is limited on account of
the warm weather, and 10 to 11 cents
per doen ia the range paid in trade.
There is a complaint made that the
market is nearly bare of gilt edge butter,
and it is firm with a tendency to ad-

is unconditional!- quiet and dull. The
Prairie Farmer claims that the crop for j
lSlMwill be 51X1,000,000 bushels in the
United States. It ia estimated that the
world's visible supply 17-.400,00 j
bushels against 178,074,000 for the same '
date the previous year. In Europe and j
Asia the crop reports show a much i
better average than last year, with the
exception of Koumania and Itulgtiria,
whose averuges have fallen olf some
what. In the Argentine country the re
ports received of their harvest, which is
over and on the market, the crop is the
largest ever gathered and the quality
is first class. After a careful
study of the breadstuff question the
Clapp company speak of it as specu
lation aud bullish in scutiment. East
ern millers are buying wheat without
stint, while there is no imn.ediate en
couragement for any favorable advance
there is a slight bullish tendeucv. Our
own local market is much depressed and
buyers are offering only SO to 32 cents

The Salvation Army services are well
attended, their hall being crowded and
doorway jammed with people anxioua to
see what is going on. The brass horn
and big drum gather the crowd, and
when services begin it sounds like an
old fashioned minstrel show. The music
is of the modern variety, and it sounds
decidedly queer to bear tbe words of
some good old bymna sung to the music
of "Two Little Girls in Blue," "Down
Went MeUinty" and "Annie Iiooney,"
but it attracts the boys and that is what
is desired.
