TOOK IT SERIOUSLY.
The Pendleton Tribune printed a two
coluran article recently nnder a "scare
bead," giving the details of seven differ
ent distinct and appalling accidents, all
caused by the horrible sidewalks. In
concluding the article the Tribune gives
it away that the accidents were invented
for the occasion and to illustrate what
might happen if better sidewalks are not
provided. The skit was a good one, but
the funny part of the story is to come,
The Portland Chronicledid not catch on,
but took the matter seriously, and thus
vents its indignation :
"The chapter of accidents at Pendle
ton, Or., recorded in the Tribune as
happening in that city on Tuesday, is
the most terrible and appalling that has
ever come to the notice of the Chronicle,
That seven people, all in the prime of
life, youth and activity should, either
lose their lives or be maimed and made
cripples tor the remainder of their days,
by falling on the broken sidewalks of the
metropolis of Eaetern Oregon, is a dis
grace and a calamity that will reflect
upon that city's fair name forever. And
to cap the climax, the superintendent of
streets in a letter to the East Oregonian
in speaking of one young lady, who fell
on the sidewalk and drove a broken
spike into her cheek, tearing out her
tongue and maiming her for life, says :
'I am very sorry for the bereaved parents
of the unfortunate children, and wish to
state through your paper that I will pay
all the funeral expenses. That's all I
can do. I have little sympathy, how
ever, for the woman who got ber tongue
split. I think it would be a blessing to
humanity if about fifteen hundred more
could lose a part of their tongues.' The
accidents were bad enough without this
man, who is eminently responsible for
them, making light of them. The
Chronicle has no comment to make, it is
not our affair, but a coat of tar and
feathers would be a good doee of medi
cine for the people of Pendleton to apply
to their superintendent of streets, who
glories in the misfortune of others."
BETTER TIMES AT HAND.
Henry Clews writes as follows :
"The restoration of wages, which is
gradually going on, is an evidence of not
only an improvement in business, but
curries with it the faith of employers
that the change is of a substantial, per
manent character. Such testimony
comes from many mercantile interests.
especially cotton and woolen factories
i can cite no oetter corroDorative in
stance than that of the Washington
mills, which during the depression about
a year ago stopped their works, which
comprised machinery a mile in length.
These works are now tunning night aad
day to keep np with the orders for the
goods they manufacture. It is well to
note in this connection that the goods, of
this mammoth concern are of the finest
quality of woolen fabrics made in this
countiy, showing that the present de
mand represents a return to more ex
travagant outlays from a quarter that
has been exercising rigid economy for a
prolonged period. There are a larger
number of buyers of goods now in New
York than ever known before in any
previous month of April. This is the
reason why the jobbers in dry goods,
hardware, groceries and in all other
lines of trade feel so much more jubilant
than they have done for over a year.
People in trade will soon begin to real
ize as of old that success begets success.
It takes a return ol prosperity, however,
to bring it about, which is now generally
felt to be forthcoming.''
content to use home products. Let all
work in harmony in advocating the pat
ronage of home industry, and the bene
ficial results that will accrue to the state
at large will create a prosperous condi
tion that will bring happiness and con
tentment to even the most humble home
in all our fair state.
If Japan has a sense of humor she
must enjoy the protests of Germany,
Russia and France against her taking a
slice of Chinese territory. Russia sets
up that her objections are caused by a
desire to gobble the territory herself.
France wants a slice of the same pud
ding and Germany wants anything that
France does. Along with England the
countries named have apportioned most
of the continent of Africa among them'
selves, and Germany has gobbled all the
islands of the South Pacific. None of
them have ever refused, or even hesi
tated about swiping as much of the globe
they could get, yet all of them take
exceptions to Japan taking enough to
pay herself for the costs- of the war.
Germany took Alsace and Lorraine, from
France, as a part payment of her own
debt, but objects to Japan profiting by
Ler example. About all the reply that
Japan need make is to return to France,
Germany and England a map of Africa,
and to Russia a map of Asia.
The dancing spectacular preacher in
San Francisco, who has been amusing
sinners and charming saints by his
peculiar antics in the pulpit, has a
whole lot of trouble on his embrvonic
mind, owing to the fact that he had
some very large and handsome litho
graphs distributed throughout California
ornamenting the dead walls and shop
windows, announcing himself as the
three-ringed, two-horned, incomparable
and stupendous aggregation of talent, in
tellect and beauty. The leading feature
of the said lithographs was the announce
ment that said minister was "The Amer
ican Oscar Wilde." Now he is going
broke employing a Email army of boys to
gather up and destroy those lithographs.
He says he is not so much of an Oscar
Wilda as he thought he was, and agrees
with us sensible newspaper writers that
he is an esthete, with the "thete" left
off.
CLEVELAND VS. DEMOCRACY.
President Cleveland did a bold thing
and a foolish one, when he published
his letter declaring that the government
officials must either indorse his financial
views, or be punished. The president of
the United States seems to have profited
by England's action in the Nicaragua
cases and presents his ultimatum with
the threat to open fire if it is not com
plied with. The one act is as offensive
to Americans as the other. We are dis
posed to speak respectfully of the man
who occupies the presidential chair, re
gardless of his politics, but such actions
as the above absolve the citizens from
any further efforts in that line. A bully
is simply a bully whether in the presi
dential chair or not.
"Patronize home industry," is the
watchword of the newly formed manu
facturers' association, says the Portland
Sun. It is a doctrine that must be
practiced as well as preached in order to
achieve good and lasting results. At one
of the meetings held to effect this organ
ization a few days ago a manufacturer of
Oregon woolens canvassed the men pres
ent and found that but one of the num
ber had on a suit of clothes made of cloth
manufactured in this state. Oregon
boasts of the superior quality and great
quantity of its wool product, and yet
only one member of the manufacturers'
association, which advises ptople to
"patronize home industry," follows this
advice in the matter of personal attire.
Oregon has wonderful natural resources,
and much that is consumed in various
necessaries of life could be produced here
with profit if the rjeonle would onlv be
The London Globe thinks this coun
try has been taught a lesson in Nicara
gua. That may or may not be true ac
cording to the point from which the sit
uation is viewed. One lesson though
has been taught the world, and that is
that England is a bully that jumps onto
mailer nations and acts as judge and
jury in settling her affairs with them
A course she does not pursue with
country of her Bize. If England wants a
quarrel with this country she can have
it on short notice, but that is not what
she is looking for. She tried it twice
and got her full satisfy.
The half-breed uprising in North Da
kota has been terminated without blood
shed. The Indians were disposed to re
sist arrest even after agreeing to sur
render, but the firm action of the deputy
marshals over-awed them. Red Thun

men for advocating a surrender, and
when arrested he fought like a tiger un

We received today a copy of Every
where, a new paper conducted by Will
Carleton. As its first page contained an
alleged poem by that language distorter,
there is nothing really mean left to say
concerning it. We were of the opinion
that William was dead, and perusing a
few lines of his decayed blank verse, we
are not entirely free from doubt upon
the matter vet.
"Our republic would be bankrupt in a
week," is what Eli Perkins predicts in
case this government should undertake
to double the price of commercial silver
and that even protection could not save
us. It should be remembered that Eli
Perkins is a professional liar.
The hearing of the income tax cases
began before tbjs United States supreme
court this morning, Justice Jackson hav

is probable the whole question will be
gone over, and that it will take a week
to complete the arguments.
The British evacuated Corinto yester
day, and all the ships left the harbor ex
cept that of Admiral Stephenson, which
remained for the purpose of saluting the
Nic&raguan flag when the troops re
turned to Corinto to raise it.
The latest dispatches show that the
emperor of China has ratified the treaty
of peace, but that the decree announcing
the same has not yet been promulgated.
When President Cleveland was first
elected the democracy had been out of
power for twenty-four years. A great
many democrats at once concluded that
it was not the principles of the party,
but the man who beaded its ticket had
won the victory. Unfortunately for the
democracy this opinion had no more
firm believer than the president him
self. It did not dawn on him all at
once, and so drown mm in tne sea 01
his own greatness, but permeated his
system slowly, but steadily, by what is
known as capillary attraction, and its
effect was the same as usually happens
when a large amount of moisture is ab
sorbed by some solid substance that is
the substance doing the absorbing be-
comes too large to remain nemmea in
by the surroundings and boundaries
which held it before. In other words
it swells. In 1889, the process being
reversed, the water dried out of the ex
president, and he was again selected as
being able to fill the gap at the head of
the democratic ticket. Instead of profit'
ing by one case of swelling, the party
tried the same timber for the third
time, only to find that its power for ab
sorption had increased so wonderfully
that instead of believing himself the
servant of the public, he imagined him
self the owner of his own party and the
country too.
There were wise men before Agamem
non, and certainly wiee democrats be
fore Cleveland. He was the creature of
circumstances, not the creator of them
He imagines he has succeeded in mate
rializing the grim-humored idea of
Diogenes, who, upon being put upon the
block for sale, and asked what he was
good for, or could do, replied : "Sell me
to some man who wants a master for
himself," and so imagining, kicks the
platiorm on which be was elected to
pieces, turns his back to the ladder by
which he has climbed into place, and
spurns as ignoble dust the common peo
ple who placed him on his pinnacle of
greatness.
A few figures may serve to dispel, not
Mr. Cleveland's idea of the power of his
leadership, bnt that of the people who
yet imagine that it was the man and
not the party that won. Let us look at
the result, as shown by the popular
vote: Lincoln was elected by a popular
vote of 1,866,352, against 2,226,920 for
Breckenridge and 1,374,157 for Douglas,
the latter two being both democrats.
Lincoln was re-elected by a vote of 2,
216,067 against 1,808,725 for George B.
McClellan.'a majority of 400,000 votes.
Grant was elected in 1868, by a vote of
3,015,071 over Seymour, with 2,709,613.
a majority ot 300,000. He was re-elected
over Greely by a vote of 3,507,070
against 2,834,079, a majority of 700,000,
and this increase was due to democratic
refusal to support the man, instead of'
the party. In 1876 Rutherford B.
Hayes received 4,033,950 to Tilden's
4,284,885, and was only declared elected
after the famous fifteen commission,
and yet Tilden had 250,000 majority.
In 1880 Garfield - was elected, having
4,449,530 to Hancock's 4,442,350, almost
a tie. Cleveland was elected in 1684,
his vote being 4,913,248, Blaine's 4.848,
150 ; a majority of 65,000. . In 1888 Har
rison had 5,441,423 to Cleveland's 5,536,
224, a majority against him of 5,000.
In 1892 Mr. Cleveland, for the third
time, asked the greatest favor a party
can bestow, from tne bands of tbat
party, which Is too small for him, and
received 5,556,918 votes to Mr. Harri
son's 5,176,108, a majority of 380,810.
This result was largely due to the ma
chine politicians' disgust with Mr. Har
rison, .who, like his successor, was
larger than the party ; and it was not
due to Mr. Cleveland's popularity. On
the heels of the war Tilden had as large
a majority in proportion to the vote as
Cleveland in '92. i
A calm survey of the figures does not
show that there was aDy wild scramble
to vote for Cleveland. He carried only
his party strength, neither more nor
less ; nor more nor less than any other
candidate would have had. The in
creaseoivoienn inepres dential eke lis
is from 700,000 to 900,000, and . a gain
either way is always possible. Yet the
ures show that the democratic party
has always been almost as strong as the
republican, and Mr. Cleveland's candi
dacy did not add to its strength.

game is put np between the big ones to

scooped to the queen's taste. Bad as
gambling is, it is a small vice compared
to that class of business known bb deal
ing in stocks, and which is different from
common gambling only in that the deal
is not a square one. We venture the
assertion that where cards or dice have
led to one man's downfall, the stock
market has ruined fifty.'
Gambling is an evil, but the way to
stop it is to begin with the big fish, not
the minnows. To stop dealing in stocks,
close the wheat pit, and make the using
of the necessaries of life as articles to
gamble with a felony. Until this is
done, the pulpit, the press and the peo
ple should have but little fault to find
with other games of chance.
The Passing of the Horse.
A prominent electric company has col
lected some startling figures, which show
the almost incalculable influence of the
introduction of . the electric car, taken
merely on its one basis of replacing the
horse for traction purposes. It is esti
mated tbat electric cars have already dis
placed 1,100,000 horses, and this esti
mate is manifestly far below the actual
number. The feeding of these horses
would entail the consumption of $500,-
000 bushels of corn or oats a day. The
animals are now back on grass, and the
enormous decrease in corn and oats con
sumption caused by tbeir withdrawal is
sufficient to appreciably affect the prices
of these grains. In round figures, it
amounts to 180,000,000 bushels a year.
There is another view ot this subject,
the significance of which will probably
be more apparent a few years hence than
it is even now. The loss of commercial
demand for these coarse grains in the
cities means an enormous decrease in
the tonage of the railroad. freight traffic.
This failure is already put at a minimum
of 250,000 car leads. But it is not only
in public traffic that the day of the
horse is waning. In some cities the
electric car lines have been so judiciously
distributed, and give such excellent ser
vice, that many private families have
given up their carriages, and use the
electric cars instead. In many places
the business of the liverymen is practl
caily mined by the electric car, and, as
at Niagara falls, the formerly arrogant
and extortionate hackman has become a
comparatively civil and temporizing in
dividual. The electric car. and the bicy
cle has sounded the knell of the horse
as a commercial factor.
Weather Crop Bulletin No. A of the
Oregon State Weather Service
for Eastern Oregon.
- Following is the report for the week
ending Monday, May 6th :
tooier, ciouay weatner witn rain
showers has prevailed since May 1st,
The maximum temperatures ranged
from 58 to 75 degrees: the minimum
temperatures fell from 12 to 15 degrees,
the minimum remaining stationary.
The rainfall was heavy and general,
ranging from one-half to three-quarters'
of an inch. At The Dalles it was .75 of
an inch, which is .11 more than the
average for May. In Umatilla county
ana to tne south thereof, tne average
May rainfall is from l.S to 2.5 inches, of
which 20 to 30 per centum has already
fallen. The rainfall was especially heavy
on Saturday and Sunday. ,
The rainfall was badly needed and its
coming most opportune, the ground is
now in' good condition for plowing and
fall seeding and in excellent condition
for the growth of the cereal, hay, fruit
and berry crops. ' ' Some correspondents
are of the opinion that the present rains
have insured a full cereal crop, but past
experience has shown that the product
depends more upon the June weather
than upon the May rainfall. The rains
have been of inestimable value and ben
efit and with favorable June weather,
will make a large cereal output. Straw
berries are ripening at Hood River and
The Dalles; a few having already ripened.
Green, pears are in the market at The
Dalles." Fruit prospects continue excel

The pulpits of Milwaukee, Wis., Sun
day were all used for a single purpose.
to make a combined attack on "the
gambling evil in Milwaukee." The
ministerial association has had 'detec
tives employed to gather evidence show
ing that gambling was prevalent in the
city. 1 Of course tbat was a matter that
no one(in Milwaukee doubted, nor is
the other assertion of the ministers,
that the gambling games were nnder
police protection, at all doubted by any
person acquainted with the ways of
cities generally. It exists, not only in
Milwaukee, but in eyery other city in
the United States, and to an extent tbat
the evidence does not disclose. Every
body knows of its existence, but the
question is, what are they going to do
about it? How are they going to draw'
the line between one kind of gambling
and a hundred other kinds? Good peo
ple raise both hands in pious horror at
the idea of a poker game. They roll
their eyes in an ecstacy of deprecation
at the mention of a faro lay-out, and
