WHAT CAUSES IT.
, In answering some of the attacks made
upon the present tariff bill which hangs
like a millstone around the country'
neck, the Tacoma News contends that
new industries are springing tip through
out the United States as a result of demo
cratic legislation. F.ot the purpose of em
phasizing its declaration by local llluetra
tion the News points to the establishing
of the woolen mill at Pendleton an one of
the benefits directly due to the Wilson
bill. But the Peudleton Tribune takes
away the force of the illustration by say
ing that "whilo it is true that Pendleton
is to hare a woolen mill, thanks to the
enterprising spirit of ' her business men
, no one, except a hide-bonnd.dernocratic
prevaricator could see any connection
between the Wilran bill and-the pro
posed Pendleton woolen mill." The
Tribune' declares ,that if the people of
Pendleton were not .perfectly satisfied
that the Wil?on mnnstrcsiiy whs soon to
be replaced by a common-sense . tariff
measure, and that ."the party now in
power was doomed to be turned down by
a humiliated but determined populace
it is doubtful if a man in Eastern Oregon
could be fotind willing to chance $100 in
the establishment of any kind of in
dustry, let alone a woolen mill."
The re.isonJ.that the discouragement
among the sheepmen of Eastern Oregon
that existed so plainly a year or so ago
is not found to such an extent at the
present time, is not due to the beneficent
workings of the present tariff system or
any future good that may come from it,
but is found in the returns of the con
. gressional election of 1894, when the
' American people declared that when in
the course of events, the chance would
come to wipe 'out the results of the
Gorman, Brice, Havemeyer - manipula
- tion, now ratified by Prof. Wilson, the
votes would not be lacking to do it.
The importation to our . bunchgraas
ranges, of blooded stock, show that the
sheep raisers believe that "light is break
ing in the East" and that the worst 'of
the storm has been weathered.
The late elections demonstrated which
way the country was tending and that a
year, or at the most two years, will see
the United States again prospering
under a protective system designed in
the interests of the working1 man, the
farmer and the manufacturer. Upon
the prosperity of these depends the wcl
fare of all lines of trade.
The conclusion reached by many
people of Jlate years is that the jury sys
tem, as now conducted, is a failure.
While it is true that juries oftentimes
fail to reach what may be called intelli
gent verdict ; yet it cannot be taken as a
demonstrated fact that the system is not
a success. In most cases the judgments
rendered by the twelve picked men are
righteous ones, and all the more praise
worthy because the truth has to be
gleaned from out a mass of chaff pre
sented as evidence. The fault that so
. many criminals escape just punishment
lies oftener with the courts to whom
appeals are taken than with the juries
who rendered judgment upon the primal
facts. This opinion does not lie only in
the opinion of .the laity but is supported
by the declarations of eminent jurist.
Tn nn nrlrlrp.Rfl. renentiv rialivprad. .Tnar.tp
Brewer, of the United States supreme
court uttered the following statement:
"I say it with reluctance, but the truth
is you can trust a jury to do justice to
the accused with more safety than you
can an appellate court to secure protec
. tion to the public by the speedy punish
ment of a criminal. Tardy justice is
often gross injustice. Better an occa
sional blonder on the part of the jury or
a justice of the peace than the habit of
protracted litigation." -
Mr. G. W. Barzee of Sherman county
is in the city and has with him a sub
scription list for the building of a new
road down Rattlesnake- canyon, which
will make traffic to The Dalles easier.
It is to be hoped that the citizens of The
Dalles will respond as liberally aa their
means will permit to this request from
Sherman county. The Dalles at present
is eminently a commercial town . What
ever it may obtain in the way of manu
factures in the future, it doesn't possess
them now sorry as may be the admis
sion. It is plain to everyone who gives
the subject even a careless thought that
our city must make every effort to secure
the trade with the territory adjacent to
The Dalles. Nature has done much for
oE and we have helped ourselves and at
the same time aided the people of East
ern Oregon by the establishment of the
boat line. Our transportation facilities I
to the sea are unequalled ; let ns extend
them to the interior and the future of
The Dalles is aasurred. Mr. Barzee
comes to The Dalles presenting a request
for aid from the people -whose trade this
city needs- ,' A generous response will be
the best investment we can make. ,' . ;''.
:AN ABLE PLATFORM.
The. Massachusetts republicans have
declared their political convictions in a
platform which will meet with approval
by the party1 throughout the nation and
commend itself to fair-minded people,
.IrresDectiveof Dolitical affiliations. - Free
from anv narrow-mindedness or un-
trammele'd by any measures forced upon
it by any clique or faction, the conven
tion declared itself with unmistakable
clearness upon the issues which concern
the nation. The platform reiterates the
demands of the republican party for the
protection of all industries and con
demns the discriminating tariff legisla
tion enacted by the democratic congress.
Upon the silver question the conven
tion was equally clear and says the gov
ernment should not permit the free
coinage of silver at any, ratio not estab-1
1 1 .1 V i V... !nta.nntinnal snroamonf onri '
advocates legislation to protect the
metallic reserve from the concerted at-
tacks of speculators. The plank con
cerning the enforcement of the Monroe
doctrine will strike a responsive chord in
the hearts of true Americans. -
- Tle convention is also decisive upon
the immigration question and advocates
the admission to our shores only of those
who are capable of becoming worthy
American citizens. : This declaration re
garding the immigration question is
forerunner of what soon will be one of
the leading political issues of the country
and Massachusetts, in this as in other
matters that bode no good to our exist
ing institutions, promises to be well in
the lead.
In referring to the religious troubles
which for some time have disturbed the
peace of the state the platform depre
cates the race and religious partisanship
which has been manifest in the demo
cratic party of Massachusetts, and which
has weakened that "sentiment of pure
Americanism which ought to control all
public action, and result in counter
irritation and antagonism. Church and
state should be separate and indepen
dent in fact as well as theory." A plea
is also entered " for additional laws
against prize fighting and demands
made for road improvements.
Taken as a whole the platform is better
than the usual emanations from political
bodies and will appeal to the intelligence
ot the voters in the state. In its choice
of its candidate for governor the conven
tion was wise. Governer Greenhalge
has made an executive that brought
credit to the old Bay State. Of his
triumphant re-electiou by a large
majority there can be no doubt.
These soft, bright October days com
plete the hundredth year since the birth
of John Keats. The instance is a re
markable one, of an interest confined at
first to but few, that has grown, widened
and' deepened ever since in 1823 he
found his grave in Rome, beside the old
Anrelian wall. The love and admira
tion were confined then to a few, but
such a few ! That young man's life
would be reckoned rich indeed, who
could claim' a dozen such friends as were
Keats'. The-first memoir was published
in 1S48 by Lord Houghton, but since
then the story of Keats' life has been
told over and over again, and most sym-
pathizingly told. The centenary of his
brth makes occasion for the illustrated
magazines to pay a loving tribute to his
name; pictures of the graves in the
Protestant cemetery at Borne ; of Keats
and his friend, hia "one devoted friend,
till death," Joseph. Severn; of the mon
ument with his chosen inscription, "Here
lies one whose name was writ in water;
a picture of the house where he died, on
the wall of which is a tablet to his mem
ory ; of Ins bust in tne parish church ol
St. Johns, Hampstead, .with this inscrip
tion: "To the Everlasting Memory of
John Keats, this Monument is Erected
by Americans;" ot" his death mask both
front and profile view; of his house in
Hampstead, fac similes of his exquisite
letters, evervtbing is done that can be
done to show that hia name is "writ"
and "writ" large in loving memories, in
sympathetic appreciation of lovers of
true poetry. By one of his biographers,
Mr. Sidney Colvin, he is called "the
most Shakespearean spirit that has lived
since Shakespeare."
Since the Examiner has taken to
printing shorthand reports of the Dur
rant trial, W. R. Hearst, its millionaire
proprietor, has found the field too con
tracted for his vaulting ambitions. He
has just completed the purchase of the
Morning Journal, a respectable sheet of
New York and will run it in connection
with his San Francisco paper. Hearst
intends giving the people of the metrop
olis a taste of journalism as it is found
in the West and will compete with the
New York World for the place of chief
among sensationalists. The evil influ
ence of Durrant has reached across the
continent and the people of New York
will have cause to regret his existence.
The able journals already in New York
need not fear their Western rival.

FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY,
The friends of Pacific University have
just finished celebrating the 50th anni
versary of the founding of that institu
tion.' An event which lent impression
to the occasion and which will cause the
day to be long remembered by the
alumni and those interested in the uni
versity, was the dedication of Marsh
hall, named, in honor of Rev, Sidney
Marsh, for twenty-five years the college
president. -
. Pacific University is one of the oldest,
as well as one of the best equipped in
stitutions of the Northwest. The date
of its founding runs away back to 1845,
when the fit st. scholastic exercises were
held in a little log bouse. The next step
was the forming of Tualatin academy
from which grew the present influential
institution, Paci6c - University. The
first graduate from the college depart?
ment was H. W. Scott, editor of the
Orezonian, who received his diploma in
1863. Upon the anniversary occasion
Mr. Scott was the orator of the day, and
delivered an address, replete with worthy
suggestions. During bis'- remarks he
touched upon one thought which Thk
Chbonicle has sought to impress, viz :
the importance of aiding tho colleges of
the West and making them the equal in
advantages of the Eastern institutions.
Any youth who graduates from any of
the leading colleges of Oregon or Wash
ington and has done. his work well is
fully equipped tb take his. place beside
the graduate of the more famous colleges
of the East. Or, if he isn't he should be.
Upon this question Mr. Scott's remarks
are pertinent and a portion of them, we
publish : . ' ., ." '
"I fully believe, said Mr. Scott, "that,
as a rule, the education that will best fit
us for duties among the people with
whom we must live and work is not to
be had far from home. I believe that,
aa a rule, our young people will have
juster and broader views of the world of
anairs it educated in uregon tnan it sent
to Harvard or Columbia. From our
station .here we can see the just propor
tions of things more clearly, and we
avoid the risk of losing our adaptability
to our situation and to the work it re
quires. 1 think it a mictaxe not to stand
by our own colleges. We occupy heights
here from which we can cue our vonth
a survey of literature, science, history
and tne world of anairs.
"We need, must have, must BUBtain,
these local institutions, to create an at
mospbere of culture at home. This
quality never can be imported. It must
be home made. The agencies that pro
duce it are always local. ..They issue
from our academical centers. They are
felt throughout the country inversely aa
the square ot the distance, anc this is
the reason whv I can not think, as some
do, that we have too many of these local
colleges. .
"We can. indeed, no more depend on
the distant college than on the distant
newspaper. A lournal published in
New York or Boston might be more sat
isfactory to some of us in a certain way,
but these never would be found in it
what we moat wanted. It would lack
the touch, the quality of life, the adapt
ation of universal principles, to our sit
uation and surroundings."
Battered around from pillar to post,
Sluggers Corbett and Fitzsimmons bave
settled npon the Indian Territory as the
place to settle their differences. If the
people of that section have been making
the progress in civilization it is reported
they have, they will probably "post the
notice, "no admittance" at their state
borders.
The great issue of the next campaign
will be the tariff. The democrats can
not dodge it and the republicans do not
want to.
BUSINESS POINTERS' FROM THE
NEIGHBORING PRESS.
Grant County News: . Grant county
will be represented in the Portland Ex
position. Mr. Peter Kuhl has shipped
an assortment of fruits and vegetables
which will occupy a place in the agri
cultural department, and which we are
confident will compare favorably with
the products from any other section of
Oregon. . - -
Condon Globe : The 308 bead of full-
blood Merino bucka that J. W. Blake re
cently sold to sheepmen in this county
arrived here this week from the Baldwin,
Sheep & Land Co. of May Creek for de
livery. Geo. Perry and Lewis Miller of
I-ons Rock and Wm. Smith from the
John Day river were in town Tuesday to
get some of them.
Oregon Blade : Superintendent Mc-
Nally, of the Virtue -mine, came to
baker City last baturdav moriung and
brought with him $12,UUU in -gold, the
output of a twenty-two day 8' run on low
grade ore. The Virtue ia one of the
largest producers in the Northwest, and
the output of large-amount ia regular.
Mr. McNallv expects the output for Oc
tober to be larger than usual, as the mill
is running on good ore, some of it being
very rich.
A telephone line will soon be in opera
tion between union and La Urande.
Union county is not behind the times.
Now let the line be extended to the east
end. East Oregon Republican.
Messrs. Sam. Gover, W. D. Nash and
Thomas Pierce, Eagle valley stockmen.
arrived in this city last evening with a
band of 4U0 head of cattle, steers and
cows, which they delivered to Mr. Ed.
Willard, the purchaser, who will ship
the cows to the Portland market and put
the steers into winter feeding in Union
county. Baker City Democrat.
The Northern Pacific railroad affairs
are very badly mixed, in consequence of
litigation, and the road will soon be
worse than bankrupt. There are two
sets of receivers, and a clash of authority
all around. It will probably require
many months before the legal complica
tions are disentangled. La Orande
Chronicle. ' .
Walla Walla Statesman : Had it not
been inevitable that William Mahone,
being alive, mast sooner or later die,
and that his death or the approach to it
would serve to remind the country that
he bad lived, be might have slipped out
of view aa silently as did the policy of re
pudiation for which be stood.
Salens Statesman : Talk about short
campaigu! It started when the people
began to get hungry nearly three years
ago. : - ' . : "
Independence West Side : If the Cu
ban revolutionists never succeed ontil
they-receive recognition from Mr. Cleve
land they will never succeed. -
Oregon Progress: The greatest factor
in the success of the farmer and the
farming community is good roads. The
only good roads are the macadam
ized roads, and the convicts have been
put to work in California to make maca
dam foi the building of roads.
-Albany Herald : The Texas legisla
ture has" passed. a law prohibiting prize
fighting, and the pugilists are now look
ing for other grounds for the Corbett
Fitzsimmons slugging match. When
Texas, supposed to be the toughest and
most lawless state in the Union, will not
permit the spectacle of a prize fight
within her borders t is about time for
the pugilists to hunt up a respectable
occupation. Chopping cord wood would
be an improvement.
What Might Bnt Been Said.
To Thb Editor: The
Moro Observer
of the 26 instant raises a timely warning,
relative to the proposed road down Rat
tlesnake in expressing an opinion solic
ited by "Borrower." In addition to what
bia article claimed he might have said
something about the advantages gained
by- the entire community of Sherman
county from the building of this road,
He might have said that this road, be
ing eentrally located, would accommo
date the people better than any other
route.. That the cost of the grade would
not exceed perhaps one-half the amount
paid annually for toll across the Des
chutes and that many more would avail
themselves of the accommodations af
forded by Tho Dalles and Wasco county
in the way of lumber, milling, and mer
cantile facilities, which practically we
are either lacking or possess in a limited
degree, were it not for toll rates and bad
roads. Such an enterprise as this one
spoken of will be the means ot compell
ing the O. R. & N. Co. to grant us better
transportation rates (for we can haul
to The Dalles and when tbe locks are
open the world's market ia accessible at
that point). The Dallea ia willing to
give all that was asked from them to aid
in the construction of the grade and the
Observer might have eaid that the
"manipulators" propose to build the
road by subscription.
These things might all have been said
in answering "Borrower," but there are
some things which the people know and
any attempt to make them appear other
wise does not change the facta.. The
people know that there will be men ap
pointed to view the road and report its
practicability ; that bonds will be filed
for the cost of building. Justice demands
that Wasco county discontinue her end
of the free bridge, -if Sherman county
does not raise her toll and keep np her
part of the bridge, with 97 per cent
warrants.
A road can and will, in time, be built
down the Deschutes and up the hill
reaching to the old Dalles Military Road
thence down Ten mile to the Miller
Bridge road, making a very even grade
from Deschutes to The Dalles. Further,
we are afraid that the answerer in the
Observer is. not in the interests of the
common people else he would adviee the
discontinuance of the false economy of
the "penny wise and pound foolish" plan
of paying from $3000 to $5000 annually
for toll, when we can get access to Wasco
county, with its wood, milling and other
facilities, without the useless expense of
toll. In conclusion we will Bay that if
Sherman county belittles us . enough to
deny us tbe Rattlesnake road, we will
build it just the same. The Dallea will
furnish the cash and the people to be
benefited, have the grit and muscle.

Off for Hood Kiver.
The upper deck ot the Regulator was
crowded thia morning with excursion
ists for Hood River. The cheap rate
offered by the boat company and tbe

the throng. The day has been a levely
one and the trip up and down the river

surroundings. Among those noticed on
