The plot -vhich District Attor ner Graham lias unearthed, whereby Holmes': lawyer, Shoemaker, hoped, by the aid of a fictitious affidavit, to eave his client' life, was a most diabolical one. and shows to what extent baman conscience may be deadened to gain coveted point. ; The exposure of the offending lawyer was complete, aud the people of Philadelphia will expect to see summary justice dispensed. A clean judiciary is one of the safe' guards of the nation, but such a condi tion will be bard of realization when discredit falls upon the bar from which the judiciary is taken. In the large cities it has become , common to look upon a lawyer who makes a sole business of defending criminals with feelings not altogether of trust, and it is such deeds as that of Shoemaker which has caused thisteeling. Not only do wo hope that the offender in this instance will be pun isbed, as he richly deeerves, but that others who may do similar deeds may be caught at it. The American bar contains some of the brightest, purest and most trust worthy of the nation's citizens, and any one who has noted the services rendered by these eminent men, dislikes to see the profession brought in any disrepute by the actions of unworthy members The lawyer is a minister of justice, and is under as solemn obligation to the state as to the client whom be serves The method of admitting attorneys to the bar has been too loose, and the re suit is that unworthy men have ob tained places in the ranks ot lawyers, The Oregon Bar Association is doing good work in trying to weed out men who are considered undesirable, and tbe work should be. aided by imposing greater instructions at the start. apparent. "The fact that the Argentine Republic heads the United States in respect of maize is not without significance. Thus the trade balance between the states and this country is moving rapidly against the former, and it would require a large and regular transference of secur ities from New York to London to re- rlresB this tendency and Testore the former position. And. with India, Ar gentina and Australia keeping up and even improving their position as pur veyors, of wheat to . this country, with Argentina sending more as the United States Bends less tallow, it will not be Miv for tha Americans to regain their old footing in our market." JENQLAND PROSPERING EXPENSE. AT OUR The English newspapers are furnish ing good campaign arguments for the re publicans. In noting the great revival in the manufacturing indastries of Great Britain they offer a marked contrast to the (situation in the United States Since the "tariff reform" legislation has been enacted English mills have been pushed to their full capacity while there is a disastrous diminution in tbe output of American factories. England has been built up at the expense of the workingmen of this country. The Anglian laooruig classes are enjoying the fruits of democratic legislation and the only unpleasant feature in the situa tion is the fear that the United States will repent of its folly and restore a pro tective tariff at the earliest opportunity. The following from the London Financial ,Sews shows bow England Is profiting by the Wilson bill : "The great prosperity of the wool trades has, fortunately, more than offset tbe retrogression in cotton, though that .reflection brings 'small consolation to .Lancashire. The total gain for the nine months under yarns and textiles is $16,- 288,375, and as the valne of woolen tis sues taken by the United States has been about $4,750,000 and of worsted tis sues nearly $15,000,000 greater than iin 1894, no further search for the origin of the improvement in the trade returns need be madi;. The lowering of the American tariff has been our salvation, and it cannot be said that we have shown much reciprocity; for, instead of taking the increased value of our ship ments across the Atlantic in kind, we sevm to have bought less American pro duce. It is needless to go beyond our own board of trade returns to find an ex planation of a good deal of the monetary trouble in the United States. "Practically ever7 penny that was subscribed here toward the recent American loan has been got back through the recent expansion in the exports ol woolens and worsteds;- but the United States has not confined her increased purchases to those articles. Last month she bought less raw wool than in Sept ember, 1894, but had to pay more for it. She took more cotton pieces, more iron, more alkali, and more of sundry articles which need not be specified. . In some instances the rapid growth of the pre ceding months resulted in a slight check in September, but ia all these cases the figures of the nine months show a big advance in 1894. On the other hand, we have paid a good deal less for American wheat, ' flour, bacon, hamB, cheeee, tallow and cotton, to mention only those articles in which the contraction is most . The rumor of the sultan's assassina tion causes little surprise. : Although the report lacks confirmation there are excellent reasons for believing it true. Tbe discontent and intrigues, which from time to time have been discovered within the imperial palace, indicated that opportunity was all that wae wanted for the deed to be done. Tbe assassination of Abdul Hamid will cause neither the consternation nor regret that the death of any civilized ruler would have occasioned. Turkey has long ago forfeited her place in the esteem ol nations. Her dissolution may be de layed, but it is no less sure in coming. The only thing that prevents an imme diate breaking up of the empire is that' tbe division of the spoils has not been settled. Salem Statesman : The board of directors of the Salem woolen mill held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the company's office on 12th street, the pur pose being to discuss the question of whether or not it would be possible to rebuild the mill. After investigating their resources and liabilities they find that they are not now able to build and equip another mill unless receiving out side aid. However, they are anxious to rebuild, if possible, and make a proposi tion to the people that they will increase their capital stock from $75,000 to $100, 000, and, if parties can be found who will subscribe and pay for the additional $25,000, thev will agree to build a "four- set" mill and equip it with three sets of machinery to start on. The old one was a two-set mill. HARDLY A POSSIBILITY. The report is out that Quay is after the presidential nomination. Like b news that the. sultan was poisoned it will probably be. denied , in the next issue.- Quay is too shrewd a man ever to think himself a presidential possibil ity. He has attained prominence aud political position not through any ability for handling weighty questions, but be canse he is a smooth politician, a manip ulator of men and a shrewd judge of character and events. This latter pos session has long ago enabled him to form a pretty good judgment of just what sort of a man Matt Quay is and just how lar he can impose himself upon the people. : Quay has never done anything worthy of a seat in the senate. He is as good a man- nfi Brice. Gorman. Smith or a number otner politicians, who have crept into places once honored by able men, but Quay can give no good reason tor his being a United StateB senator. His candidacy for the presidency exists probably in the mind of some newspaper correspondent. Were it true it would be a severe- reflection upon American politics tbat such a politician could be seriously mentioned for this high office. Quay may receive the complimentary vote of Pennsylvania, since, lamentably, it is true that politically he is the biggest dog in the puddle, but when Quay leaves the domain of politics and essays to be a statesman, his position is ludicrous. If ever the time comes that men of Quay's stamp rule in the White House, it is time to shut up ship and annex ourselves to Hawaii. The best of all.

If John Sherman writes many more books between now and next June, Wil ham McKinley will wish his campaign were fathered by someone else than the venerable senator from Ohio. If the prominent republicans who have felt Sherman's keen thrusts, believe that McKinley is his honest choice, they will be apt to sharpen their knives just to add another to the list of, Sherman's disappointments in connection with tbe presidency. While it is. perhaps, un fortunate that the venerable statesman did not wait a few years longer before writing bis memoirs, yet this possible indiscretion will not detract from the greatness of Sherman's name, nor pre vent the wish tbat there were more men in public life like him. Here are three facts and a conclusion which every voter should remember, They are taken from the Miami, Ohio, Helmet, and are more convincing than volumes of talk. "The deficit in the United States treasury for the first 20 days of October was $11,274,694.70. For the fiscal year, since July came in, $21, 157,352.91. For tbe term of President Cleveland since March 4, 1893, $133,- 765,836 57. That is,our expenditures have exceaJed our receipts by that much. Now the man who wants to con tinue this memory policy, in the future should vote the democratic ticket." Exports of English wool to the United States this year, to September 30, were 10,542,000 pounds as against 3,689,700 in the same months in 1894. The ship ments of foreign colonial wool, that passed through the United Kingdom in transit for this country, were 96.016,300 pounds this year and 26,085,466 pounds in 1894. The total increase this year was 77, 583,000 pounds, which eupplant a similar quantity of American wool. The Mitchell Monitor, which for over year has had a varied existence, closed its life with its last issue. The Dub- isher announces thatgetting out a news- aper in Mitchell is not what it was cracked np to be. The Monitor, under the resent management, was a newsy paper, devoted to tbe interests of the section where it was published. We are sorry to miss it from our exchanges The last grand jury made a right move in the direction of economy when it called attention to tbe manner in which justice court expenses were piling np. At the September term of the county court over $1,000 was allowed for expenses in the 'justice courts alone. Justice is rare in Wasco county, but the taxpayers pay enough to get a largo measure. ' LA GRANDE AND PENDLETON. East Oregonian : Pendleton is a live town. We want to increase its reputa tion in this respect among outside peo ple. We want a better Pendleton and a bigger Pendleton and for these reasons we want tbat manufacturing plant to come to Pendleton and give employment to at least twenty-five men. Enterprise and industry make towns; property owning and speculating in vacant lots and participating in the f-uits and spoils of peanut politics does not do it. La Grande Chronicle: It is not con sidered necessary to continue an appeal to tbe experience and good judgment of the people of this community as to the beneficial results that would come from an organization such as the one that is to be "completed at the meeting to be held this evening. Everyone must have a feeling deep down in'bis heart that this is tbe proper movement by which the interests of La Grande and tbe county in general is to be promoted. There is no other plan than tbat of united pur pose tbat will be productive of any good results. THE OBSTRUCTIONS DALLES. AT THE Moro Observer : Bah : Dooh : bosh ! Alexander Kunz, in Thursday's Oregon ian, discussing an open Columbia river, pays: '"The chamber of commerce in Portland should take the lead and in vite every other chamber of commerce or board of trade of the interior towns, such as The Dalles, Goldendale, Hepp- ner, Pendleton, walla walla, JJayton, Colfax, Moscow and Lewiston, to join hands with them and open a list of sub scriptions" Now stop, where you are at; Alex. We've tried that thing onst. You 'nns down there in the wehfoot me tropolis promised K of $5,000,000 to open this river A. D. 1891-2. When it was time to come to tbe scratch, instead of taking our freight Tom the foot of the portaze at Cascades as vou promised, you backed completely down, and com pelled The Dalles people to go to Port land and build The Dalles City steamer to ply in connection with Tho Dalles staemer Regulator and the O. P. Ry. built bv a -Dalles man within the limit of a paltry appropriation, which but few legislators who voted for it expected would accomplish the result. We don't want any more such aid from your chamber of - commerce, Alexander. Your "sermons" to our farmers read very nice irr print, but thev apuecr to lack sincerity. The employes of the defunct State In surance Company at Salem have chal lenged the men recently employed in the woolen mills, just burned, to a game of football. Tbe situation baa a sort of grim humor about it which is much better than moping over losses which cannot be helped. A little phil osophy is a good thing in the trying cir cumstances which have come to Salem. From the monthly weather report just issued by the government, it appears that one-rhalf the counties in Michigan did not receive a drop of rain during October. Tbe drouth has been general over the entire country .and though we are short of moisture in Oregon there are places much worse off.' '. Honors are even between England and America. - She has Dnnraven and we have Bayard. Neither is a credit to the country he represents. Goldendale Sentinel: To the Senti nel it has been somewhat amusinir to reaci in toe aitnerent naDers tbat corr e to our desk the obiections to the boat I railway proposed to be built by the gov ernment arouna tne oontructions in the Columbia above The Dalles, the comple tion of which would make an open river from Lewistown to the sea. Why any one should not concur in the recommendations of the government en gineers we fail to comprehend, unless it ue mat tiua is tne quickest and most practicable way of overcoming the ob structions to" the navigation of the up per Columbia, thus at an early day les sening the traffic of the railroad and to a noticeable extent the shipping of our products from present markets below these obstructions. We have had the experience of canal building at the Cascades; we know tho cost and the time it has taken to com- plete such a great undertaking, and that only for a short distance when compared with the length of canal it would require to go around the upper falls and rapids. The question arises when wonld the second canal' be finished, the first re quiring twenty years. It would be sur prising if the work would be completed and the river opened before the middle of the twentieth century. . The healing properties of De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve are well known. It cures eczema, skin affections, and is simply a perfect remedy for piles. Wanted. A girl to do housework. Annlv at this office. n22d3tw2. There is no beauty in bud or blossom until gazed upon with a loving eye, eo we suppose in the ancient of days the Indian plied his light canoe on the lordly Columbia and saw no beauty there, but at length some poet of nature on pleasure bent took a sail up her blue waters, saw and noted the charm of river, tree ard shore and then poured forth the whole in immortal story, and since then the most matter of fact individual has been un able to take the trip from Portland over the Rhine of the West to The Dalles without seeing beauty everywhere. A few mornings ago we stepped on board the Dalles City at the Portland wbari en route for The uailes. it was a few minutes before six, and Oregon's metropolis had not yet awakened to the full activities of tbe day. Tbe electric lights were Btill burning, while the sky wore a dark frown that told us we must not look for the sun for' a fill hoar. "All aboard, sir," was sounded at six sharp and we steamed away to be de lighted by the pleasing and varying shadow effects along the river. Many boats were crowded along the banks, each carrying its colored lanterns that in the gray dawn shone like the bright eyes of some sea monster,, while the electric lights from the city cast long trailing silver streams that seemed to be running between banks of golden gravel and to go on and on to where no man ever was certain. Afar on Portland Heights the electric lights flashed in jeweled beauty, and one involuntary began to look for Orion's shield, tbe bright Pleiades and the many other constellations that make the midnight eky so attractive to the observer. The steamer behind threw out a heavy black pillar of smoke in which tbe dancing red sparks frolicked and played, like children just out from school, then the breeze would catch tbe smoke, caress it lovingly for a moment and our pillar would be transformed into some dark genuii. But day dawn is approaching, for the red altar fires are burning on the mount ains in the eastern horizon, whilo the west remains dark and presents only rude charcoal pictures. Mt. Hood, the bride of the morning, has now caught the glowing flame, her snowy crystals are turned to gold, brighter and brighter she appears till the eye is dazzled with the brilliancy, and the king of day has appeared. His first command seems to be to send a troop of angels with burnished wings to throw a shower of spirit flowers over the blushing bride, making her eo fair and beantiful that wo , ij.i . . . noia me Dream in ecatasy, only lor a moment are we thus delighted, and then smiling most sweetly she wraps a white veil of mist around her and our bride of the morning retires with the king of day to a white palace of fog. At about 9:30 "the mists have rolled in splendor from the mountains and the hills and tbe sunshine warm and tender falls in kisses in the rills." The scenery along the banks is most pleasing, the forests are in their brightest autumnal foliage. Old nature has been at work with ber paint brush, .and seemingly has used either shore for her palette on which she has placed her. most brilliant reds, golds and crimsons. These bright colorB are caught and reflected in all their beauty in the river below. Booster Rock is one of the first points of special interest pointed out, we say special because all have been interesting from the first moment. The next is Cape Horn, a most peculiar handiwork of nature, composed of inaesive rocks that rise in palisades in abrupt and rugged grandeur from the waters below. They are gray and moss covered and rest on a peculiar formation not unlike piling and one is lead to fancy the crumbled foundation of tbe castle of some feudal king, but closer study into the twisted tiers of stone above tell of the angry rage of tbe volcano in earlier days. Tbe view becomes so fascinating that we long to be Argus-eyed in order to drink it all in. Ever and anon a white veil of mist is thrown over some scene that gives it a look of fairy enchantment. The Multnomah, Oneonta, Horse Tail and Bridal Veil falls each call out all the adjectives at our command and cause us to think of the.'snblimity and goodness ot God. Castle Rock stands out in feudal splendor, surrounded bv a strik ing background of dark green, fair and ragged cliffs. The fisLwbeels that are scattered all along the banks ot the river are most interesting and we so wish we could see them in operation. We are approaching the. rapids now, the waters seethe and boil and try to make us believe we are in the St. Lawrence, among the Thousand Isles. At the Locks we rest an hour and investigate tbe extensive works being constructed tbat are at present employ ing some 300 men. The undertaking is a large one to givean open river, but we believe the surrounding country will more than pay for it in a few years. We next board the Regulator. For an hour or more the scenery is seemingly more rugged and tbe mountains higher than before. The rocks become hills, tbe firs grow thicker and denser, and their needle pointed fingers sharper as they point upward to the clear pky, along the river banks the shore is sandy and trees with golden foliage grow that form a bright frontispiece to the shadowy fivs and mountains beyond. Memaloose island, tbe burial ground of the red man of the forest, is paet and we note the solitary grave of tbe one pale face, who was such a friend of the braves and de sired to be buried among them. Tbe mountains are growing lower, we have less timber, little stretches of grazing land appear, cattle are seen feeding and we realize we are coming into a different country. The colors of the hula are bo different, black, brown and burnt gold are tbe leading shades that are bright, ened with an occasional bit of purple and cardinal. The burnt grass tells of more sunshine than in the Willamette valley. Through the kind cdurtesv ol th captain we enjoy the sunset effects from the upper, deck. He shows us many points of interest along the way. Here, he said, was a petrified forest, trees had been dug out from 40 to 60 feet long and from 5 to "!. feet in diameter. It is thought that they were preserved by some rapid form of volcanic action. Where we were sailing the channel of the river was from 150 to 200 feet deep and the pressure so heavy that if you were to seal a bottle with wax and sink it to the bottom, the cork would im mediately come out. Many other each data cause the time till we reach The Dalle j to pass rapidly away. We have spent a golden day of deligbt never to be forgotten tor its beauty, while the kind courtesy and attentlou rendered by the officers of the Dalles City and the Regu lator will ever be remembered with iw terest. No beauty-loving tourist or res' ident of the Northwest should fail to par take of this rich feast that nature has so lavishly spread in the way of magnifi cent scenery along the Columbia from Portland to The Dalles. We would write more but dare not now, but may anon. Louisb E. Francis The Howe and Readlck Go. This excellent company opened a four nights' engagement at tho Baldwin opera house last evenmg.to a large audi ence and a better pleased one ft would be hard to find. This organization is not one of the usual cheap traveling companies, but is first-class and is play ing now at 25 and 50 cents for the first and last time on the road. The company numbers fifteen people and is too large for cheap prices. "Tony the Outcast," the bill of last night was a highly interesting play. Mr. Frank Readick, as the "Outcast," was a finished piece of acting. Mr. Readick has a fine ataga presence and very pleasing voice. The Oregonian re cently in the dramatic column, said he was "an actor," which speaks volumes. Messrs. Makin, Robs, McCullough and VanCleve are all actors of merit too, and played their respective rolea as they should have been played and did their share towards making the performance the success it was. Mies Essie Tit tell, an actress of wide reputation and a favorite in The Dalles, as the "Out cast's" daughter, was, as usual, perfect ia every look, word and act. Miss Milly Freeman, the soubrette of the company, is a very lively piece of humanity and acted her part with vivacity. Miss Ella Pardee,' who essayed the role of "Mrs. Nelson," an old lady, is an actress that attracted attention last night, especially in the third act where her acting had much pathetic power. To sum tbe whole thing up, the fact ia the company is first-class, the play a good one and the prices lower than The Dalles will ever have again for so good an attraction. Another noticeable thing ia tbe vocal talent in the company. Nearly every member is a vocalist and the songs during tbe play were a featnro. , Tonight "Monte Cristo" with special scenery, this should pack the theater to tbe doors and will especially at the popular prices. An AfterSoCB Piilf at Hrl. lord'f. Death of Mrs. Lrmke. Mrs. F. Lemke died this morning shortly after 6 o'clock. Her death was not unexpected, as since noon of the previous day she had been failing, and the watchers by the bedside feared lest she might not last till nightfall. About two weeks ago Mrs. Lemke suffered a stroke of paralysis, from which ehe never rallied. Since that time she has been unable to speak. Mrs Lemke was aged 43, and had been a resident of Tbe Dalles quite a number ofyears. She was a woman of estima ble qualities, and' leaves many friends who will mourn her loss severely. Her husband, Mr. Fred Lemke, and her son, Mr. John Hertz, survive her. The fun eral will take place Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from ber late residence.

Violets comprised the main theme of the afternoon and the prizes carried out the same idea. Mrs. Marden won, to console her for her success, av beautiful copy of Shakespeare's Sonnete, bound in violets, whilo Mrs. H. S.
