district. The two important points
upon which Judge Roes bases his deci
sion are that the provisions of the law
permit private property, to be taken
without giving to the owner any right to
be heard in the matter, and that, under
the provisions of the act, there must be
a taking of private property for public
use.
The principle applying to an irrigation
district the judge says, is different from
that of a public improvement, in which
the benefits sought are to be for the
benefit of the entire public. In the case
of the irrigation proposition one may
raise' such crops as require irrigation,
while the other may not. Under the
Wright act thirty districts have been
QUAY'S GREAT VICTORY.
Viewed in any light that may be
thrown upon it, the spectacle that has
just been witnessed in Pennsylvania is
a striking commentary upon .the power
of a single mind over many. Matthew
Quay has achieved a victory seldom
given any man .to obtain. He has
.broken a combination which for months,
and even years, has been laid against
him, and to ail appearances did it with
out much inconvenience to himself.
But a few days ago the very men who
yesterday thronged his .rooms eager to
shake his hand, were denouncing him
vehemently. . His past record, his mis

MUST
United Slates Judge Caldwell of Kan
sas, in declaring himself in favor of free
silver, says: "What is the nse of paying
any attention to foreign countries, any
way? Are - We not capable of managing
our own affairs? I think we are, and if
not, I am in favor of annexing the
United State9 to Canada, or some other
convenient " country." The judge is
without question, an able man. If be
were not, he would, in all probability
; not be holding a federal iudgsbip : but
his idea, carried to its logical result,
' would build a Chinese wall about our
country. If we are to deal in the metals
used as a medium of exchange, and un
dertake to fix their values independ
ently of other nations, we can and
should fix the value of wheat, corn,
wool, cotton and all other products in'
...dependently of foreign countries. ' What
is the use of 'paying any attention to
foreign countries, any way? Why not
fix the price of wheat at a dollar a
bushel, and let Liverpool fix the price
there as Englishmen choose? Why not
fix the price of wool here at twenty
cents per pound, and let GLondon have
its own price? Why not fix the value
of silver here at 16 to 1 of gold, and let
England and France fix it as they
choose?
If the United States government goes
into the business of fixing values it can
do one just as well as the other of these ;
and when it has succeeded in all that,
we will ask to have the services of a
, newspaper 'editor fixed by the govern
ment. Of course, - when the theory is
applied to any other product of our
country than silver, it appears absurd to
everyone. But why silver producers
should be preferred to wheat farmers,
cotton farmers or wool men, we do not
clearly see. The world is now trading
with the world, and the world's supply
and demand must determine the values.
If two commodities are used as standards,
then the relative values of those two
will vary according to the same rules
that cause their values, as related to
other commodities, to vary. As it ap
pears to us, there is nothing magical
about silver or gold which places them
outside the rules of trade.
the East and abroad. The subject of
irrigation . is every day becoming of
more vital importance, to the people of
the West, and the decision of Judge
Boss has been awaited with interest.
The matter will be" taken . to the
United States supreme court for final
adjudication, and if the decision is bub
tained, the .people of California, and
other states possessing arid landd, will
have to seek some other means of ob
taining extensive irrigation.
HO W IT AFFECTS HARRISON.
The result of the Pennsylvania re
publican convention will bring lit
tie . comfort ' to ex-President Harrison
His one-time friend, but now open
enemy, senator juay, nas tne entire
machinery of the Btate under his con
trol, and will not only lead, but name
the next delegation from his borne state
to the national convention. The break
between Harrison' and Quay, which oc
curred shortly after the election of 1888,
has never been healed, and any effort,
except complete surrender, on Harri
son's part would be futile. Quay is not
without friends in' his rupture with Har
rison, and there are many who believe
that the ex-president was ungrateful,
and while willing that Quay should do
a great part in turning the election the
right way, was yet loath to give bis pub
lie acts the endorsement of the adminis
tration.
.With Quay riding in the saddle in
Pennsylvania, and the friends of Gover
nor Morton, under the leadership of
Thomas C. Piatt, actively working in
New York, the prospects of Mr. Harri
son do ' not at the present time seem
dazzling. If the rank and file of the
republican party demand his re-nomin
ation, as the body of the democratic
party demanded Cleveland three years
ago, he can overcome the machinations
of the politicians; otherwise he will
remain a private citizen, respected
for his honorable worth and distin
guished career.
for ends, were all rehearsed in the press
and by word of mouth. Some of the
most influential men in the state were
arrayed against him, and openly de
clared their ability to drag him from his
high estate.
Not only did Quay succeed in holding
his own ' and getting himself elected
chairman of the central - committee,
but he haB made himself, the dispatches
say, "the idol of the republican
party in Pennsylvania." ' That the
party in that state is in a bad way
for idols, goes without saying. . Between
Dan Cameron and Matthew Quay, both
of whom serve in the capacity of idols,
there is little choice in the way of states
manship. ' Cameron has distinguished
himself by truckling to the free silver
men at a time when they seemed . the
most powerful, and Quay won everlast
ing senatorial lame by preserving a
masterly silence" when the .news
papers of the land were denouncing him
for his unscrupulous method. Their
hold on the politics of the Btate is
strengthened the firmer by the outcome
of yesterday and there seems little hope
of release from their domination. The
republican party in the Keystone state
has made a grievious mistake when it
set the, stamp of rfpproval upon Quay
and held him up to a wondering world
as the idol of its choice. Statesmanship
is at a discount and the arts of the
Pennsylvania politician are triumphant.
it was worth about 35. Whereupon
Mr. Wiseman and the gentleman of the
borrowing turn of mind went down the
street. Negotiations were renewed and
Mr. Wiseman agreed 'to lend the
stranger $20. The latter reached in his
pocket and pulled out what purported
to be the same sione. Mr. Wiseman
took it and handed the man a check.
Later on Mr. Wiseman went into Gar
retson's again and eaid: "I don't be
lieve this is a diamond." Mr. Garret
son glanced at it and said, "Of course it
isn't. . The fellow has changed stones on
you." As a result, the officers began
looking for the man . who so deftly
handled precjona stones, and found him
near the east end of town. He gave his
name as Brown, but .lias an alias. ' He
was placed in the county jail. - There is
a second man in the transaction, whom
the officers are seeking.

and grain growers in order that he may

LET EVERYONE HELP.
The outlook for wheat is not now very
encouraging. A short time ago prices
went up with a violent jump, but ever
since have been tumbling down. Yet
the total yield of all the wheat-produc
ing countries is estimated Dy all stu
dents of the subject to be considerably
less than last year,' and (he surplus in
this country, at least, is said to be small.
We shall not yet abandon the hope that
better prices will' prevail.
The business men who met at the
council chambers last night decided
that every endeavor should be made to
give The Dalles and the surrounding
district an agricultural and speed exhi
bition that will be a "rouser." Those
who are at the head of the movement

. In every way the fair should be sup
ported. It is the one great time in the
year when people can get together, and
those from the country become ac
quainted with those in town. "-
The arrangements this year will be
- upon a more elaborate scale than ever
before ' attempted in this county. The
agricultural exhibit and specimens of
handiwork and commercial display will
be held in the Vogt Grand opera house,
where a promenade concert will be given
every evening by the orchestra. The
$1500, which is available from the state,
will be- spent exclusively for premiums
on exhibits, and none of it will be used
for any other purpose. This makes it
necessary that other means be provided
for meeting the expenses of putting the
track in order and offering suitable
purses to attract people from abroad
Our merchants and citizens can afford
- to give liberally for the fair fund.
With the prospects of a good harvest,
our friends from the country will want
to visit the town, and we should provide
the entertainment.' The Dalles needs
the fair, and every effort made towards
having a worthy exhibition is a step, in
the right direction to hasten onr city's
growth. We had a successful Fourth of
July celebration this summer; the
fair next October should have a similar
hesitate to present these boycotted notes
to us ; as to them, national bank notes
are not boycotted.
Four men were lynched by a mob in
Yreka, Calif., Sunday' night. If such
a thing were necessary in that county,
it is an exceedingly poor recommenda
tion as an abiding place for law-abiding
citizens. If it were unnecessary, it is a
worse recommendation. Such offenses
against the law, in the name of justice,
ought never to be necessary.
THE IRRIGATION QUESTION. .
The' decision of Judge Boss, of the
United States court, for the southern
district of California, in declaring the
Wright irrigation act unconstitutional,
is causing great excitement throughout
the state. This act, which was approved
by the California legislature March 7,
1887, and since amended, enabled irri
gation districts to be formed, and bonds
issued generally running twenty years
and constituting a lien upon all of the
land lying ' within ' the bounds of the
If rich Americans, will insist upon
spending their money for - European
jewelry and nicknacks, they must ex
pect to pay a tax upon them when they
return. ' Smuggling is as great an offense
when committed by a rich New Yorker
as when committed by a Chinaman.
The latter may be punished worse, but
he ought not to be.
There is almost nothing which will
drive Pennsylvania into the democratic
ranks. If there was anything to do it,
the chances would now be favorable for
democracy to gain another nothern
state. But PennsylvaniaNepublicans,
like Texas democrats, are generally in
harmony when the voting time comes.
Within a few months the long-talked-
of opening of the Columbia river from
thia place to the ocean will be an event
in the past history of Oregon. Jtor
nearly twenty-five years, ther people of
the eastern portion of Oregon and Wash'
ington have begged . and pleaded and
resolved, and now and then the people
of the western portion of Oregon have
ioined'us in pleading for this improve'
ment. Western Washington has never
aided us in any manner, and, of course
does not desire, and would gladly pre
vent, the opening of the river. But the
answer to our prayer is almost within
our view. -

more powerful than all the others, to
the chorus of voices then demandipg the
completion of the Cascade canal. The
prediction haB been fulfilled. When
the great benefits resulting from the
completion of the state portage road and
the D. P. & A. N. Co.'s boats began to
be appreciated, the work upon the canal
was placed in the hands of contractors
who have an interest in the early com'
pletion of; the canal, and now the end is
in sight. The largest lock gates in the
world will soon swing open to the in'
creasing commerce .of the two great
states of the Northwest. The steamers
Begulator and Dalles City should be the
first to pass through ihem, and the men
who for years gave of their time and
money to unite the people in urging on
this work, and later who established and
have maintained the boat line, should
be their passengers.
' We believe the day when the canal
is opened will be the commencement of
a new and better era for our city. But
to avail ourselves of - the advantages
which are promised, we must unite and
work in harmony.

A COMMENDABLE ECONOMY.
Governor Lord has announced his in
tention to disallow all bills hereafter in
curred by sheriffs in traveling to and
from Salem to procure requisition
papers. The applications can be exam
ined and acted upon as well it presented
by mail as by sheriffs in person. Sher
iffs will of course lose something, because
they generally travel on passes and yet
charge the Btate railroad fare ; but the
state will save expense and the laws
will be enforced just as well.
A very large expense bill can be cut
off by refusing requisitions altogether,
except in extreme cases. The state is
well rid of the fugitive who has com
mitted larceny or lesser offenses, and if
the fugitive continues bis career, it will
not be long before the law will place
him where he belongs without a requi
sition and the accompanying expense.
Film-Flammed Oat of m Diamond. '
This afternoon a stranger asked W. T.
Wiseman to advance him a loan upon a
diamond. When Mr. Wiseman was
shown the stone, he and the stranger
went to W. E. Garretson's jewelry store,
where Mr. Garretson examined the
stone and pronounced it genuine, eaying
at our district fair, which will be held
early in October, and see for himself the
exhibition of our resources and make ar
rangements for the taking of the beBt of
them to Portland. From all indications
the Portland exposition will be wisely
managed and be a credit, not only to
the metropolis, but to the whole state
and the Northwest. ' Wasco county took
the first premium one year for the beBt
supply of fruit and the opportunities for
her to again lead are better than ever be'
fore. Mr. Pague has also written to Mr,
Scbanno, who 'is well acquainted with
the fruit interests of the countv.and was
instrumental in making the big fruit ex

among the trees and shubbery in town.

Sweet Wine Industry.
San Fbaxcisco, Aug. 29. Official re
turns have been received at the internal
revenue office, San Francisco, wrych
show that the sweet, wine industry of
California is increasing faster that any
enterprise fostered by the federal govern
ment, and that California - leads all
other states in this industry. Fresno
and Los Angeles are the great sweet
wine centers, and Fresno vineyards show
an increased output of sherries and
ports. Indications point to a -shortage
of California sweet wines in the local
market this year,' because sweet wines
are now in great demand throughout the
East, vineyardists finding no difficulty
in selling them as fast as manufactured.
If the demand for sweet wines continues,
it is probable that the wine combination
will soon advance prices.
