For a good statement ol tbe contrast
between the present democratic admin
istration and the preceding one nnder
Harrison, we are indebted to the New
York Advertiser. The democrats have
been in power long enough for a fair
comparison to be made and after noting
the results to the industrial life of the
country which the present regimen has
brought, it will be hard tor an intelli
gent man to vote for the continuence in
' power of the free trade, bond-selling
party. Under the head of ''Six Frozen
Facts" the Advertiser prints the
following:
" During the four years that Benjamin
Harrison occupied the presidency, fed
eral revenues exceeded expenditures
nearly $210,000,000. During the last two
years, under Grover Cleveland, federal
receipts have fallen $112,628,309.87 be
hind expenditures.
When Benjamin Harrison stepped
down from the chiet magistracy of the
nation in 1893, the interest bearing debt
of the federal government was substan
tially $535,000,000. On June 1st, last, a
little over two years of Cleveland finan
ciering, and free trade tariff tinkering,
the interest bearing debt has swollen to
$716,202,000.
During the fiscal, year which closed on
June 30, 1893, most of which year a re
1 publican president tenanted the White
House, this country built 4,879 miles of
railroad. In the following year, under
the withering blight of Clevelandism, it
built leas than half that number, or to
be exact, 2,247 miles.
In 1892, the first year that the ben en
- cent effects of the McKinley tariff law
began to manifest themselves, the people
-of the United States sold goods amount'
ing to $1,015,732,011 to people abroad
Durinz the last fiscal year, ten months
of which the iniquitous Wilson-Gorman
tariff law was in operation, the exports
of this country had shrunk to $793,
553,018.
According to the census of 1890 the
total amount of wages paid in the United
States that year, a year when the repub-
lican party controlled the executive and
law making departments of the nation,
reached the magnificent sum of $2,282.-
833,265. In 1894 under Grover Cleve
land, and a democratic congress, only
the beggardly sum of about $1,200,000,000
. was paid in wages.
In 1890 the value of the manufactured
products of this country was $9,380,107,
625. Four years later, thanks to the
malign influence of a democratic presi
dent, and a democratic assault upon the
factories, shops and mines and farms of
this republic, the value of these products
had dwindled to a little over $5,000,
000,000. Theee are statements of facts, and can
not be denied or explained away. They
embody a truthful presentation of the
case. The six facts taken together, show
at a glance why a change is needed, why
the people have been voting for republi
canism and against democracy, and why
- they should continue to so vote. It
' demonstrates the supreme importance of
next year's national campaign and
points to the necessity of making ade
quate preparations for the coming battle.
Of all the cities in the United States
San Francisco, just at present, has the
most unsavory reputation. A "carnival
of crime" has been and still is . being
enacted which is horrifying and disgust
ing in the extreme. The Durrant case
was bad enough and the world patiently
waited till it was through and a convic
tion secured, hoping that there would be
a cessation of crime in San Francisco.
But . the city seems to be sunken into
rottenness and the very air pregnant
with crime. If there is a place upon the
earth which is in need of cleansing, that
piace is ban francisco. ice city got a
. wrong start with the riots in the early
'50s, which necessitated Beveral lynch
ings and seemingly it hasn't been able to
get on the right track since.'
The tragic death of young Green in
' Portland is almost too sad for comment.
But one of tbe chief lessons that can be
learned from it is that modern fashiona
v ble society is not the best school for tbe
instruction of either young men or
women. A society that considers pleas
ure the chief end and all and puts relig
ions devotion into a space of time com
prising the forty days of Lent, cannot
expect its devotees to take broad or
healthy views of life.

BAYARD AND
TRY MEN.
HIS COVN-
It is not only the -privilege but the
dntv of Mr. Bayards to make himself
agreeable in all appropriate ways to the
people among whom . he is officially
stationed, says the New York Tribune,
His readiness to deliver a speech when
ever he is invited to lend his presence
and his voice to a social, charitaole or
educational enterprise may be reckoned
a legitimate means of popularity in
England, being indicative of a courteous
temper and an amiable inclination to
employ , for the. pleasure of others
talent which appears to be more highly
valued abroad than at home. Inasmuch
as Englishmen like to hear Mr. Bayard
speak,-it is to his credit that he is will
ing to speak go often.' But, unhappily
he does not always make a wise and In
coming use of the opportunities which
he embraces. Neither on his own
axount nor on acconnt of those whom
he is supposed to represent is he to be
congratulated upon his frequent expres
sions of dis'ike and contempt for the
American people and their institutions
A different tone would probably be more
acceptable to Englishmen whose ap
plause is worth having, and it assuredly
would be more satisfactory to his fellow
countrymen.
Even in the days when they surmised
that Mr. Bavard might be a statesman
Americans never were infatuated with
his kind of statesmanship, and they
have not revised their estimate of it
since his transferrence to another sphere
of activity. If his views of their char
acter and politics actually resembled
those which they themselves now hold,
they, would nevertheless not be al
together pleased by his description of
the degradation and imbecility in which
they were lately wallowing. But inas
much as they have repeatedly and by
enormous majorities declared, during the
period of Mr. Bayard's residence in En
gland, that they approve and mean to
uphold the protective system, they
seriously object to his telling tbe British
people that "the insatiable growth'' of
that system "has done "more to corrupt
public life, to Danish men of "independ
ent mind from public councils and to
"lower the tone of national representa
tion than "any other single cause";
that it is "an engine for selfish profit,"
and that it has been tbe means ot re
placing statesmen with "jobbers and
chafferers." This is the picture of a
leading American policy and of Ameri
can public life which Mr. Bayard has
just drawn In Edinburg. It is radically
false; but if it were essentially true,
Mr. Bayard onght to be the last man to
put it on public exhibition in tne
country to which he is accredited as
Ambassador from the United States.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
There is a merry rate war between the
O. R. & N. and the Southern Pacific for
San Francisco business. The Southern
Pacific began the figtit by reducing the
fare from $25 to $20, on trains leaving on
dates corresponding with steamer days.
The rates have tumbled till now tbe O. B.
& N. steamers will carry people between
Portland and San Francisco for $5 first
class and $2.50 second class or steerage.
The prospects for a bitter war are ex
tremely good and travellers will rejoice
while the rival companies stick the knife
deeper into one another. The present
lowering of fares recalls the days when
the Great Republic ran as an opposition
steamer between Portland and San
Francisco sixteen years ago. Tbe Great
Republic was a large side wheeler, capa
ble of carrying many passengers.- She
came to an untimely .end by being
wrecked at the mouth of the Columbia,
where for many years part of the
machinery was exposed to view. '
The present war will probably be of
short duration, as both companies will
soon realize that financially, carrying
passengers for next to nothing is not a
success, however pleasing it may be to
tbe travelling public.
Those, people who are industriously
talking about the United States going to
war with Lngland, or any European
country should read General Miles' re
port upon the condition of our coast de
fenses, supplemented "by Admiral Walk
er's statement of our deficiency upon
the sea. It is a good thing for the peo
ple of a country to keep up a proper
spirit of independence, and to promise
in advance to resent any insult shown,
but there is no good in reasoning from
false premises. The United States is
not in a condition to fight any first rate
power and if we intend, keeping up with
tbe progress of the world greater atten
tion should be given our army and navy.
As Admiral Walker says, "Tbe greatest
protection against war is to be fully pre
pared for it." It is useless to talk of in
creasing our navy and providing better
cpast defenses till a party is in power
whose policy will provide sufficient
revenues to meet the demands of govern
ment. It is clearly proven the demo
cratic party is not euch a one.
"To be or not to be," is tbe great
question before tbe people of Eastern
Oregon just now. When Hamlet spoke
that rather famous line he wasn't think
ing of the Cascade locks, but the words
are applicable just the same. Will the
locks be completed by March 1st or will
they ' not, is a 'query made many times
each day.' We wish the question were
as easily answered as it is asked
Another month or two will tell the tale.
MR.
Although the contest before the com
ing Republican National Convention
will be spirited it will be free from any
acrimony or bitter contention. Reed,
McKinley, Allison and Harrison (if he is
a candidate) will all have ardent sup
porters, but a de9ire to see one man win
will not mean sulking if the wish is not
fulfilled. Any of the candidates men
tioned will prove acceptable to the great
body of republicans in the land. There
is jao such condition confronting the
party as in 1884 when the nomination of
Blaine caused tbe disaffection ot tne
mncrwninDs. and thus gave -Grover
Cleveland entrance into the white house.
More than likely one of the four men
tioned will be the standard bearer and
the Dartv will carry on an enthusiastic
campaign. - , - .
All petty rivalries and jealousies have
been lostln the one great desire for the
triumph of republican principles. There
is no faction which promises" to s'ufti if its
demand is not gratified. Encouraged by
the great victories of the last two years
and undisturbed by any internal dis
sensions, the prospect of republican
success was never so bright as now.
Salem is meeting with some hard
blows. Following the suspension of the
Williams-England bank and the passing
into the receiver's hands of the State In
surance Company comes the burning of
the large woolen . mills, which had been
the pride of Salem for several years. Of
the three this latter catastrophe is much
the most to be regretted. The citizens
of Salem showed much enterprise in
securing the establishment of the woolen
plant; its citizens gave a $20,000 bonus,
besides at all times rendering hearty sup
port to the concern. - The mills in turn
have prospered and done much .for
Salem. Throughout all the period of de
pression they have worked a large force
and distributed a great sum in . wages.
The Salem people will think misfortunes
never come singly. They will act wisely
if they take immediate steps for the re
building of tbe mills.
TWO NEIGHBORING CITIES.
La Grande Chronicle: Experience
proves that luck is a mighty remote ele
ment of success. Where one man gets
rich purely through luck another gets
killed by lightning, and La Grande
stands just 8B much of a show of being
destroyed by a thunderbolt as it does ot
attaining any marked degree of pros
perity through the channels or luck, it
usually requires effort to secure success,
and effort that is properly directed.
That is what the commercial organiza
tion is for. It ia not a scheme to boost
up or hold down anybody or. class, but a
plan for tbe general good of all. It is,
therefore, worthy of the support and
encouragement of everyone. And if
there is six-bits worth - ot entnusiasm
added to every twenty-five cents worth
of actual cash involved there will be
substantial returns on the whole in
vestment. East Oregonian : The proposition to
establish a manufacturing plant, foundry
and machine shops here is a favorable
one. Favorable because if the terms of
the proposition are not carried out and
all that is promised is not forthcoming
it will not cost the people of Pendleton
in excess of $300. If the terms of the
proposition are fully carried out it will
be a mighty good investment to Pendle
ton, and in entering into it the people
take no risk whatever, the subscribers
the fund having full power to make the
contract and enforce tbe terms of the
same before making good their promises.
If the special article to be manufactured
proves to be as practical as it promises.
instead of forty men being permanently
employed to operate this plant there
will be nearer, two Hundred, in any
event the magnitude of the enterprise
and the future of its products fully justi
fies Pendleton risking $d()0 to test the
faith of the promoters of it, and after
one vear, to give property worm faow
in case they do as they propose.
LOCAL BUSINESS POINTERS.
Mitchell Monitor : Tbe Mitchell mill
isj-unnine night and day, and is turning
out from twenty-five to thirty barrels of
hret-ciass every twenty-four hours.
Skamania Pioneer: The new scow
Thompson, is now taking on her first
load of wood at the Nelson creek flume.
She is a well built scow equipped with
all the latest improvements, and is a
credit to her builders. We understand
that Capt. G. W. Thompson, well known
on the river ever since scows have been
run here, will have charge of her.
Antelope Herald : It is thought by
all stockmen that "hay will be hay" this
winter. As a result of the unusual
drouth the past summer, the range is
almost entirely bare, and stock will
enter upon the winter with scarcely any
thing to eat but the hay which is given
them. Then, if there i& much snow falls,
it ia liable to cause Buffering among
sneep, cattle ana norses. it is Hoped
tnese predictions will not be realized.
Klickitat Agriculturalist : The county
commissioners met in special session on
Friday, the 8th inst., Messrs. Woods
and Nesbitt being present. The session
was for the purpose of opening bids re
garding the exchange of legal county
warrants ior funding bonds. Three bids
were on hand and the bid of R. M. Hard
being the best, was accepted. Mr. Hurd,
agrees to accept 6 per cent., payable
semi-annually, and further, will pay all
costs of issuing bonds and cost of test
suit in court. The petition of A. Berg
for a new road put in Camas, was
granted. This road starts at. tbe nw
corner of sec 3, tp 2 n, r 12 e, then to
Bird creek and thence by tbe best route
to the bridge over the outlet creek on
the Camas Prairie and Goldendale road.
The Wasco . Warehouse Co. have on
sale at their warehouse Seed Wheat,
Feed Wheat, Barley, Barley Chop, Oats
and Hay. Are sole agents in The Dalles
for the now celebrated Goldendale roller

and sold oa!y m ton lots or over. jB-tf
FROM VARIOUS PAPERS.
Evening Telegram : England's all
eged determination to maintain the in
tegrity of Tui key will not prevent her
from grabbing a portion of the bird if the
other powers should insist upon its dis
memberment. Mr. Bull has already
done his best to maintain tbe rotten em
pire, but he has never neglected to share
in the spoils every time it was minimized
territorially. ,
Spokesman-Review"; A merciful
Providence carried the blundering con
ductor down to death with the other
.victims of the Cleveland street car hor
ror. To live and bear a responsibility
so awful would be infinitely morS' ter
rible than quick death and the charity
that falls open the grave..
La Grande Chronicle: A good and
proper support of the commercial organi
zation does not entail any severe exac
tions from the people. - What it needs is
the good will and good words of the
citizens of the community. It needs
this in order to become a sort of a rally
ing standard around which all the people
dan gather for united and harmonious
work. Nothing can stop the community
from making progress, when such a
spirit ot unity gets hold of, the. people.
Those who cannot afford a membership,
can afford to give their good-will.
FLAG DAY EXERCISES.
TJie Public Schools Capture the Town
The Armory Crowded to Witness
the Exercises.
Yesterday the city was turned over to
the students of our public schools
Long before tbe hour for the exercises
to begin people were wending their way
to the armory, and by the time the
children were in their seats the large
building- was taxed to its utmost capa
city.' Many' seats had been ' provided,
but as it was, a great number ofjpeople
were compelled to stand. The stage
was beautifully decorated with Ameri
can flags, while upon the platform were
seated the members of the Relief Corps,
with the president of the state corps,
Mrs. Myers, and Dr. Gue, who bad been
invited to deliver an address. The au
dience was in high anticipation of an
interesting afternoon, and when Prof.
Gavin announced the first number upon
the program there was quiet in every
part of the building. - '
The exercises opened with the' song
"Our Flag and Union Forever." Misa
Ethel Deming sang the solo, assisted
in the chorus by the high school quar
tette. Walter Reavis recited "The
American Flag" in a manner that
brought rounds of applause from the
audience. In expression of feeling, in
voice, gesture and . pronounciation the
young gentleman was well nigh perfect,
and brought upon himself the warmest
commendation from his hearers. A song,
"Patriotic Glee" by four small girls and
a recitation giving the history of the flag
were pleasing numbers upon the-program.
The singing by thirty-five prim
ary pupils of the "Red, White and Blue"
stirred the deep impulses of the audience.
To bear the little tots singing the grand
old anthem and see each one waving the
stars and stripes was enough to stir the
blood of the most lethargic. To the old
soldiers present the song had especial
significence. Tbe recitation, "Devotion
to the Flag," by six boys and "the
Flag Drill" by twenty-four boys and
"The Flag of Our Ancestors,"pleased the
audience immensely. The pleasant task
fell upon Mrs. Mary Scott Myere, state
president of the W. R. 0., of presenting,
in behalf of the corps, the flags to the
B:hool. Mrs. Myers' address of presen
tation was exceedingly felicitous in ex
pression and delivered with fine effect.
Prof. Gavin received the flags on behalf
of tbe schools in a well expressed speech
of thanks. When Prof. Gavin had con
cluded, Dr. Gue, of Portland, was intro
duced and was compelled to remain
silent for some time till the applause
bad subsided. Dr. Gue spoke only a
short time but although brief bis address
was eloquent. He told of how the flag
was being . honored today ana now
different the ' scene was when in 1861
tbe stars and stripes suffered dishonor.
Dr. Gne's address was well received.
After the chorus "Home Sweet Home,"
melodiously sung by the High School
Quartet, came the costume dialogue,
"Liberty Seeking a Home," which was
a very pretty tableau. Miss Ann Mann
took the part of the goddess of liberty,
while the. remaining impersonations
were as follows: America, Virgie
Cooper; China, Grace Hobson; Spanish,
Pearl Dean; Ruseia, Hattie Marden;
India, Myrtle Stone; Germany, Beulah
Sterling; Scotland, Florence Sampson;
France, Maud Gilbert; Ireland, Lilian
Snell;' Japan, Hattie Cram. The old
lavorue "Mar spaugied uanner" was
sung and then came a pleasing recita
tion "The Schoolhouse and the Flag" by
Grover Young, which was followed by a
sweet recitation by little Lena Sexton.
ine tash drill ' by seven girls was a
very pretty movement and the grace
and ease with which the figures were
gone through with showed natural ac
complishments and careful training.
The participants in the drill were Edna
Glenn, Bessie French Bessie Rowland,
Lizzie Schooling, Georgia Sampson,
Hattie Marden and Eda Fisher.
In a few well chosen' words Mrs.
Briggs extended a vote of thanks on the
part of the Relief Corps to those who
had assisted in making the day what it
was a grand success. With the sing
ing of "America" by the audience, the
exercises were over and one of the
pleasantest days in the history of' The
Dalles came to an end.
New lot of raisin seeders just received
at Maier & Benton.
The people of IThe Dalles cannot com
plain for lack of amusements and places
of entertainment this week, the Howe
Readick Dramatic Company at the
Baldwin Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday and the Jdercbants' Car
nival at the armory Friday and Satur
day evenings. As a brisk Social town
The Dalles will compete with any place.
Miss Louise EFrancis, a correspond
ent of the San Francisco Examiner and
Few York Tribune, was in the city Sat
urday, having made the trip from Port
land to The Dalies by boat. She spoke
on high terms of the scenery along the
river and the readers of the Examiner
will hear of the Columbia river, the
rapids at the Cascades and points of in
terest on the trip. .
The case of tbe State vs. Julius Bother
mel is now on trial in tbe circuit court,
The morning was spent in securing the
following jury : David Creighton, J. M.
Filloon, H. Mahear, ; G. W. Rice, E.
Schanno, O. L. Straban, Peter Mobr,
Jasper Ensley, Peter Risch, S. D.
Fisher, Ernest Scherer and W, T. Wise
man. The state is represented by Pros
ecuting Attorney Jayne and tbe defenso
by Huntington & Wilson and Dnfur &
Menefee." The opening atatemerita were
made this afternoon and evidence is now
being introduced.
The case of R'chard Palmer vs. Aleck
Strachan was on trial Saturday before
Judge uradsliaw. ine action was one
brought for damages which tbe plaintiff
claimed had been done him by the de
fendant's breaking down a fence belong
ing to the plaintiff. A jury was called
and tbe evidence for the plaintiff put in
when the case came to an abrupt termin
ation by tbe granting of a motion for
non suit made bv defendant's attorney,
The motion was granted on the ground
that the plaintiff had not proven that
the fence was a lawful one according th
requirements of an act of a recent legis
lature.
The Merchants' Carnival which will
occur Friday and Saturday of this week
promises to be a grand affair. The ladies
are. working very hard and everything is
moving satisfactorily. Over fifty firms
will be represented and many
unique features introduced.. An enter
taining program will be given each night,
Mr. G. L. Stewart, an elocutionist
of
merit, will give' four recitations each
evening. Those-who have heard Mr,
Stewart recite..-credit him with much
elocutionaryability. The carnival will
be held in the Armory hall-, which will
be decorated for the occasion. Thoee
who wish to see something good should
not fail to attend the carnival.
The minstrel performance given by
Maharra'B Minstrels Saturday night at
qhe 'Baldwin was attended, by a large
audience. Every seat in the building
was taken and behind tbe chairs were a
crowd of people standing up. Tbe sing
ing waa very good while the dancing and
clog work delighted the audience ex
ceedingly. . The contortionist work was
about the finest ever Been in The Dalles,
Many of the selections called forth en
cores. Ine company left yesterday
morning and this evening will begin an
engagement; at Cordray's theatre in
Portland.' The performance was very
satisfactory to tbe audience and tbe box
receipts large.
Mr. A. D. McDonald, one of tbe Sher
man county road commissioners, has re
turned from tbe place where the road is
being built and gives a very favorable
report of the way things are progressing,
There are now about fifteen men at
work which number will be much in
creased within a few days. - The work is
being done in the rocky part of the
grade, much the worst on the hill. S.
B. Adams, the other commissioner, is
now at the grade. If this good weather
continues any length of time a great deal
of the grade will be finished before the
new year. Some of the work, especially
in the 'dirt part, must wait till spring.
From the vigor with which, the under
taking is being pushed the successful
completion of tbe Rattlesnake road is
assured.
Tbe lecture course instituted by the
ladies of the Congregational church
seems to be meeting with general favor.
A large number of tickets have, been sold
and but a small number of people been
seen. The course is gotten up for those
people who care for something else be
sides whist parties and dances and enjoy
intellectual food. It is the first ex
periment of the kind ever tried in Tbe
Dalles and we hope it will be an unquali
fled success. It is not a money making
scheme but the admission is to cover
the expenses of the men who are to lec
ture. An opportunity to hear such a
man as George H. Williams should be
grasped by everyone. Ex-United States
senator and attorney General in Presi
dent Grant's cabinet, he has been in the
midst of statecraft at a most important
juncture. What be says about "Recon
construction" will be in a large measure
from personal experience. Judge Wil
liams is but one of the able men who ap
pear in the course. The movment should
be heartily supported.
A great deal of snprise was occasioned
last night by the intelligence being
brought to town that Solomon Houser of
Tygh Valley was dead. Mr. Houser was
not known to be in poor -health aud tbe
news has caused a great shock to bis
friends. Mr. Houser was very well
known in Wasco county, having lived
near Tygh Valley for sixteen or seven
teen years. By careful foresight and
economy he had accumulated quite a
competence and was classed among the
prosperous men of the county. He was
twice married, tbe last time four years
ago. He lives a widow aud two children.
Mr. Houser was aged about 50 years and
seemed bale and hearty. His death will
cause much regret In tbe neighborhood
of his home. -

To the Editor : The occasion was
a pleasant one, a gathering of a large as
semblage of 'friends and relatives that
met at the residence of Joseph H. Hay
nes, Nov. 14, 1895, to witness the mar
riage ceremony of Herbert H. Haynes to
Alias Effie Wilson, both of Nansene.
Mr. A. J. Brighain of Dutur, in select,
well-chosen words pronounced tbe happy
couple man and wile, after which the
guests were shown to the dining room,
where they were sumptuously served to a .
wedding feast such as only Mrs. Haynes
knows how to prepare. The company
broke up, after tendering their wishes
and congratulations to the bride and
groom. May a long life aud much hap
piness attend the union of the young '
couple, with just enongh clouds to make
a beautiful sunset.

BUDS, Society

wisest care. ,To

must have perfect
health, with all it
implies a-clear .
skin, rosy cheeks,
bright eyes and
trood spirits. At
this period the
young woman is
especially sensi- -tive,
and many
nervous troubles,
which continue
through life, have
their origin at this
time. If there be
pain, headache, backache, and nervous dis
turbances, or the general health not good,
the judicious use of medicine should be
employed. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion is the best restorative tonic and nerv
ine at this time. The best bodily condition
results from its use. It's a remedy spe- -cially
indicated for those delicate weak
nesses and derangements that afflict wo
menkind at one period or another. You'll
find that the woman who has faithfully
used the ' Prescription " is the picture of
health, she loots well and she feels well.
In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic dis
placements common to women, where there .
are symptoms of backache, dizziness or
fainting, bearing down sensations, disor
dered stomach, moodiness, fatigue, etc..
the trouble is surely dispelled and the
sufferer brought back to health and good
spirits.
