SENATOR JONES REASONS.
The most sensational thing in the po
litical line that has hnppened (or some
time is the action of Senator Jones of
Nevada in renouncing his allegiance to
the republican party, in whose councils
he has held t- high a station. His ac
tion, he says, is caused bv his beliefs
concerning silver; beliefs which he
claims are not in accord with the policy
of the republican party.
Senator Jones is personally well
known by the writer, and a personal ac
quaintance and contact with him serves
only to give one a higher opinion of his
great abilities than can be found from
knowledge of his public life only. He is
an indefatigable student, and on the
silver question perhaps is the beat in
formed man in the state. That he
should have joined the populists, how
ever, is something hard to understand,
if viewed only as a matter of political
belief, for while the policy of the re
publican party mav be different from
his ideas on the silver question, he is in
harmony with it on all other matters.
On tha other hand, while agreeing with
the populists on the silver question, he
does not agree with them on dozens of
otiier questions. The solution must be
sought outside of the general political
question, and when so sought in the
local field the change may be accounted
for.
Nevada has a party of its own, known
as the silver party. It does not affiliate
with populisn, but is near that doctrine.
The one central object of the Nevada
silver party is to remonetize silver, and
to make It a legal tender for all debts at
the ratio of 16 to 1. No man can be
elected to the United States senate from
Nevada, who is not a firm believer in
this doctrine, and without meaning any
disparagement to the Nevada senator we
believe his action was taken berause he
wants to go back to the senate. Senator
Stewart of Nevada made the same change
and Senator Jones realizes the necessity
of making the same play. This
necessity is emphasized by the fact that
Frank G. Newiands, son-in-law of Sen
ator Sharon, has taken hold of the polit
ical helm in Nevada and is after Senator
Jones' place. Senator Jones' allegiance
to republican principles is as strong as
ever, but his desire to succeed himself
has caused a change of policy.
THE 3IINNES0TA FIRE.
The terrible fires in Minnesota con
tinue to do Incalculable damage to prop
erty, but it is hoped that no more lives
will be sacrificed. From latest accounts
the loss of life will be nearly 1000. The
heroic action of Telegraph Operator
Dunn, Engineer Root and the whole
crew of railroad men on the train at
Hinckley, saved the lives of not less
than 400. Dunn staid at hia post nntil
the building was burning, and tele
graphed for a train to come and carry
the in habitants away. He was caught
by the fiamet when only twenty yards
from a place of safety and burned with
his "rife and children. The engineer
and firemen remained in the engine,
throwing water on each other to put out
the fire on their clothing, and finally
succeeded in running their train through
the burning forest, over burning bridges,
and into safety. That heroism is not
dead is abundantly proven by the acts
of these brave men, who, weighing their
lives in the scales with duty, found their
lives the lightest.
Rain is falling in the burned districts,
nd it is hoped the end has about been
reached. Thousands of refugees are
gathered at Dulnth and other points and
are being taken care of by. the citizens
and the state. Contributions are pour
ing in from all sides, and the suffering
will be reduced to a minimum.
The old Sun plant baa been sold and
is being packed preparatory to shipment
to Goldendale. We looked in to the
familiar office today, where seven years
ago we lifted our scissors against those
of the Fates and threw wit, pathos and
hard horse tense into its columns. We
confess to a feeling of regret to see the
old type disappearing. They seem to us
to have some sort of claim on the com
munity, a relationship with it. What
record the faithful old type have kept
the births, the deaths, the weddings;
record of joy, of sorrow, of regret. Well,
well, they are sold and going, and so we
ay good bye, but that their little faces
may fall in "pleasant lines," and that
their power for good may be exerted to
the utmost, before, when worn with age,
and broken from too harsh contact with
the planer and the devil, they go the j
way ot all tneir aiuu to mm atmiiug ,
place at last in the convenient hcli-box,
it our most ardent with.
out1 charity is broad enough to foigive
even the editor of the !aleni Statesman
j for the unkind thiugs he said about us
the other dav. Nay more, the sponta
neous uprising of those generous ini-
pulses indigenous to our system, com-
pels us to congratulate our friend of the
Statesman upon the establishing of an
other industry at the state capital, and
this, too, without its being compelled to
be located there by a broken down cou-
atitution. The moving
The moving of the Keeley
institute from Forest t-irove to
Salem is
a move in the right direction, especially
so now that the legislature is atxnit to
meet. The institute was prosering
where it was, doing a good business on
the single standard basis ; but its change
of location is one of those delicate bits
ot flattery that only the tact of a Ward
McAllister and the keen perception of a
Tom Reed could have suggested.
According to the instructions received
from Washington Major Tost will soon
survey a route for the boat railway on
the Oregon side around the Celilo-Dalles
rapids, and will also purchase a right of
war if prices are satisfactnry. It will
no doubt be several years before this
work will be completed, but that an ap
propriation has been make gives prom
ise that it will be accomplished some
time. It is seldom the government
abandons any work of this kind it un
dertakes, though it is often dreadfully
slow about completing it. It is, there
fore, safe to presume that the road will
be finished some time.
Mr. Hugh Ciourlay, recently editor of
the Ooldendale Sentinel, is in the city.
He has purchased the old Sun plant,
which he is having boxed for shipment,
and will publish a republican news
paper in Goldendale, just as soon as the
material can be put in shape for the
work. His foreman, Mr. Murphy, with
several men, is at work packing the
type, and by Saturday night it ought to
be in its new home. Mr. Ciourlay is an
exceptionally strong writer, is well
equipped by education and experience
for the work .before him, and will issue
a paper that will be a credit to both
countv and state.
Rev. C. H. Heaton of New York, was
one of the witnesses examined by the
Pullman commission. He states em
phatically that there is no destitution
and has been none at Pullman. Gov
ernor Altgeld and others, among tnem
some 1600 persons mostly women and
children who are asking for aid, say
there is. We tear the Rev. Heaton s
zeal has out run his judgment. It
would be strange, indeed, if no destitu
tion should be found in Pullman after
the long and fruitless strike. The cir
cumstances tend to show that Mr.
Heaton is mistaken.
The question of feeding wheat to hogs !
has been taken up by all the papers in
the state. We hope that the agitation ;
of the subject will cause the farmers to
make the experiment. If the money
could be had to end East and bring in a
few train loads of "feeders" from the
country east of us where crops are a j
failure, not only would the experiment I
be made but wo believe that the fact i
would be demonstrated that with pork
at three cents wheat can be made to
yield from fifty to sixty cents per bushel.
Reports concerning the hop crop are
anything but encouraging. About Eu
gene it is said many yards are worth
less and the hops are rotting owing to
mould and lice. Many of those who
had made arrangements to pick the
crop have abandoned it on account of
the sudden change in conditions. Prices
are very low, and only the very best
quality will pay for picking. This will
prove a serious loss to the country
around Eugene, as well as to other por
tions of the Willamette valley.
It is aaid that Will Carle ton considers
the poem "Over the Hills to the Poor
House," one of the poorest poems he
ever wrote. It is seldom an author is so
close a measurer of his own ability. It
is not only one of the poorest lie ever
wrote, but at the tame time one of his
best. Will Carleton'i poetry is like
hash with the onions left out, or circus
lemonade or any other thing that is the
synonym, so to speak, for insipidity.
Latest accounts from the burned dis
tricts of Minnesota and Wisconsin indi
cate that the loss of life will be less than
at first reported. Up to date a careful
account has been kept, and the number
of known dead is considerably less than
400. Heavy rains have fallen in most
of the burned sections, and it is be
lieved the danger is over.
(iovernor Waite has been renomin
ated by the populists. This is the gen
tleman who was going to ride through
blood up to his horses' bite, but forgot
the way to Cripple Creek when the riots
were going on there. The centerboard
dropped out of his valor too.
Portland has a sensation in the shape
of a haunted call box, from which some
ghostly policeman sends in calls for the
patrol wagon, which he always wants in
hurry. From this latter fact we judge
that the spirit it not that of a Portland
policeman.
TllK IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
The irrigation congress is in tension at
Denver. We are a tirm believer in ir-
I rigation, having len raided in a eoun
i trv where nothing could bo grown with
out it. We believe that wherever small
' streams, or (or that matter large ones.
can be utilized to irrigate lands already
- 1 farmed, that is to raise alfalfa or clover
j to enable the farmer to raise his hay,
pasture, etc., it would be proper. With
the proportion for the government to go
into the making of reservoirs and taking
charge of the streams for the purpose of
extending the farming area, we are not
in sympathy. The time will come
when it will be proper to do so; but
with the present over-production of
grain and other crops, we do not believe
the country requires itor would he bene
fited by it.
There is no use in increasing the area
of producing lauds. What we need is a
larger market, not a larger production.
Irrigation on a email scale on lands al
ready farmed permits of a larger range
of crops, and so would tend to lessen the
congestion of the cereal markets. In
Kasteru Oregon it would be beneiicial
because it would permit the farmer to
raise hogs and cattle, and thus put him
in condition to feed his wheat and put
it on the market in a shape that would
not tend to the further lowering of prices
of the cereals. Irrigation on this plan
would be of great benefit ; but irriga
tion calculated to simply increase the
agricultural area and the growing of
still more produce would at the present,
at least, be a positive injury to the
farmer, who already has all the load If
can carrv.
RAISE HOGS.
The fact is being demonstrated more
forcibly every year that the world is
producing more wheat than is yearly
consumed, and some means must be de
vised to dispose of the surplus, or prices
must necessarily decliue. The United
States has found numerous competitors
in the foreign wheat market, and with
the completion of the new Russian
transcontinental railway, will have still
another which will pour millions of
bushels into the foreign market. The
steady and growing demand for pork
furnishes a means of meeting this com
petition and will have the advantage of
creating a firm and steady home market,
which is always a more formidable com
petitor than the foreign market. Wheat
raisers must breed hogs the same as
farmers in the corn belt do, and packing
houses will be established which will
take the stock, and the farmer will have
the double advantage of securing pav
ing returns for his wheat crop and the
benefit which accrues to the farm from
consuming its products and returning
the offal to enrich the soil. West Coast

FOR OFFICE ONL Y.
There is no need of a populist party in
California since both republicans antl
democrats are making their fight on a
populist platform. It is a case wherein
polities have gone niad. Principles
have lieen lost sight of, and the cam-
paign has degenerated into a wild scram-
ble for the offices. Each side advocates
free silver, each out-vies the other in
damning the Southern Pacific railroad,
These are the issues each party has with
itself, for they are both on the same
side. The tariff cuts no figure, and free
trade is not heard, but the orange groves
echo with the clamor against the rail
roads, and the orchards murmur in
silvery tones 16 to I. There is no abuse
of opponents, for they are all opponents ;
all populists except in name, and all all
things to all men in their inordinate de
tire to get office.
The craze has extended into Nevada,
only there republicans and democrats
have combined and are having a picnic
of their own.
SLIGIITL Y MIXED.
The Printer's Guide say a:
"A force of about twelve men are busy
in the office of State Printer Frank C.
Iiaker, at The Dalles, Or., in doing the
composition and press work on the
twenty-four Oregon Supreme Court De
cisions. It will not be many weeks be
fore this edition is out.
Unfortunately the Guide is mistaken.
Frank C. Iiaker being state printer, Is
located at the capital city, and very
properly so. The Salem Statesman is
urgently, but respectfully, requested to
let the Guide down easily, as it got the
facts as to where the state capital is and
where it ought to be, mixed.
It seems assured now that Corbett
and Jackson will not fight. They met
recently and had perfected arrangements
for a battle; but before the money was
posted Corbett lost his centerboard.
Iloat Hallway at Tha Dallas.
Instructions have been sent to Major
Post by the war department to make an
examination and report upon the right
of way for a boat railway at the dalles of
the Columbia river. If the prices are
reasonable in his judgment, they will be
accepted. Where unreasonable, the
attorney-general will be asked to begin
condemnation proceedings.

Sunday night there was quite a serious
accident. Henry Pitman, Henry Hin

to the threshing machine, when from
some unknown cause the horses became
unmanageable and ran away, tipping
the wagon over. The box follon Mr.
Pitman's hand, breaking it between the
wrist and first joint of the thumb and
dislocating the wrist. He was brought
to the drug store where Dr. Deitrich

Three of the Cascade Locks saloon
keepers, McDonough, Mclllaney and
Williams, having their applications for
licenses before the county commissioner
are in rather uncomfortable shape. The
law requires that the petitions shall con
tain number of names equal to a
majority of the legal votes cast at the
last election, and greater than any re
monstrance filed against it. There are
no remonstrances in the above cases but
the petitions do not contain sufficient
names to comply with the law. This
will compel them to get up new petitions,
republish them and make new applica
tion. At the petitions have to be adver
tised four weeks and the present licenses
have about expired it is causing con
siderable annoyance.
