THE NEW ERA.
The river and harbor bill, carry
ing a 150,000 appropriation for the
completion of the Cascade locks,
opening the river to navigation,
which passed both houses of congress
over the president's veto, removes
the last obstacle to the great com
mercial oppoit unities of the Inland
Empire. Millions of pounds of wool,
hundreds of thousands of bushels of
wheat, our enormous yearly salmon
-output and our great and increasing
yield of fruits of the tree and vine
-will hereafter have the advantage of
-the cheapest possible transportation
that of river steamboating. "This
places 1 The Dalles in the same caie
gory as the big commercial cities
along the Mississippi river, cheapen-
. ing our imports and lessening trans
portation charges on our exports.
Twenty-five years ago the foremost
citizens of Oregon, appreciating the
vast resources- of the Inland Empire,
tributary to the great Columbia
river, re"Ources as vaiied as vast, in
cluding stockraising, grain, fruit, fish,
and general farming, began an agita
tion for the removal of the obstruc
tions at the Cascades, to enable these
ereat meicantile commodities to
Lave the advantages of water trans
portation. The fqur or five years
which they then considered ample
to complete this improvement length
ened to ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-
two, twenty-three, and now in the
close of the twenty-fourth the dream
attains realization, mere remains
but a 6light amount of work to be
done to complete a piece of work on
the middle lock. A sufficient
amount has been appropriated to
complete it, and the appropriation is
immediately available. The present
season will see the work completed,
and the Inland Empire will take its
proper place in the great world of
commerce.
terpretation of ( the courts, which
rarely sympathize with such restric
tions. The main provision of - the
bill is harmless, because it presents
no real check to desirable immigra
tion. Those who wish to come will
soon master the arts of reading and
writing, if they have them not al
ready. Neither will it check the
undesirable immigration of anarch
ists and socialists, who are generally
educated up to the higher average
of the working classes cf northern
and central Europe.
TEE RECORD OF CONGRESS.
WILL BE AN END.
A week's work of congress is
summed up in the advancement of
- three appropriation bills, the final
passage of one, and the adoption of
the bill to exclude illiterate immi
grants by the house. The act to re
strict immigration in . the case of
males of mature age to persons who
can read and write the English or
some other language was first amend
ed to exclude aliens who retain their
homes in some foreign country.
This is aimed at the French Canadi
ans, who flock into New England and
the cities along our lakes, to earn
and save the high wages we pay, and
then return to their villages in
Quebec. It will involve some nice
' distinctions as to what constitutes a
home in a foreign country, and prob
ably will break down' under the in-!
Gen. "Wej'Ier's embargo against the
exportation of Cuban tobacco is
likely to put the finishing touches to
what was once our flourishing trade
with Cuba, says the Salem Statesman.
Our exports fell from $23,604,000 in
1893 to $12,809,000 last, year,
though at the same time the trade
totals for 1895 were being made the
devastation of the island had hardly
begun.
Cuba depends wholly on sugar and
tobacco. It is with these that it
pays for the flour, provisions and
articles of manufactured goods it
has bought in large quantities from
the United States. This season,
however, it will have neither sugar
nor tobacco. The sugar industry is
already ruined. The Associated
Press reports have shown that there
are now nothing but blackened rums
to make the sites of the sugar mills
which once gave the island its largest
revenue. Add to this the suppres
sion of the tobacco trade under Gen.
Weyler's order of embargo, and the
misery of Cuba is complete.
By what right docs Spain protract
a barbaric war to such extremity ?
For how many years may a stronger
power inflict the direst calamities on
a weaker one whicb it is unable to
subjugate by force of arms? How
can Spain expect that the people of
the United States will view with in
difference the misery thus wantonly
visited on Americans? A cuckoo
organ says the "news that an admin
isti ation will make a vigorous protest
against this barbaric and unfriendly
act is very welcome."
But this proposed protest will give
no relief to the struggling patriots of
Cuba, and it will not affect the busi
ness interests of this country at
which the orcfer of Butcher General
Weyler is aimed. Time was, though,
when the protests of the authorities
at "Washington were listened to with
respectful attention by Spain, or any
other country against whose acta they
were directed. They were, acted
upon with indications of profound
regard by this same Spain during
General Grant's administration in
the early seventies, while the Cuban
revolution was in progress.
The time is coming again, though
it drags all too slowly, when the pro
tests of this country will have weight
with Spain. They will be received
with respect after the 4th of March
next, or if they be not so received,
respect will be enforced with the
ministerial offices of our army and
navy. Then there will be an end to
these outrages.
The adjournment of congress is
expected to occur this week, With
the passage of the river and harbor
bill over the president's veto, the
congressmen and senators, who 'are
serving their country for pay, think
they have discharged all obligations
to their constituency and have
earned a rest.
The record made by the present
congress, taken as a whole, is decid
edly unsavorj'. Very little positive
legislation has been enacted, and of
that little a part has been vicious.
The administration has been bitterly
opposed by its party In the house
and senate, till it was compelled to
ask aid of Republican members.
It is to the credit of " the Republican
party that its members rose above
partisan prejudice and aided the
president in sustaining the national
credit.
There will be an attempt upon the
part of Democratic papers to place
the blame upon the Republicans for
the failure of the congress to perform
the acts expected, and yet this is not
just. The record of the house of rep-
The support which that gentleman
will receive from Eastern Oregon de
pends upon how things are conduct
ed at the Cascade locks. If this
leng delayed work is completed this
summer, as we are promised it will
be, and boats are running by
fall, Senator Mitchell will have
grounds to ask for our people's sup
port. But if the contrary proves the
case, and the miserable farce is al
lowed to be longr enacted, then the
votes of the Eastern Oregon legisla
tors will, in self protection, go to
some Eastern Oregon man. Ihese
things' had better be understood at
the outset. The people of Eastern
Oregon have cut some eye-teeth in
the last six months.
Off For a Holiday.
If McKinley be not nominated at
St Louis, the will of the people shall
have suffered defeat. But along
with McKinley's nomination must
go a sound money platform, else the
country cannot endorse the work of
the convention. Oregon can be
counted upon to do hei duty, both
as regards tbe man and the platform.
-Portland will be the: most talked-of
resentatives, which contains a heavy .city in the country for the next-two
Pendleton is going to celebrate
the Fourth. Is it not time for The
Dalles to agitate the matter? A
Fourth of July celebration is a good
thing. Push it along.
Republican majority, has been a good
one. When the enormous defi
ciencies, which the policy of the
present administration had created,
were made known, the Republican
house immediately passed a bill to
increase the tariff duties upon wool,
manufactured wool and o.her arti
cles which would provide for in
creased levenues to the government,
at the same time aff aiding protection
to an industry badiy needing it.
That this bill failed in the senate was
not the fault of the Republican party,
since it was opposed by a combina
tion of Democratic senators and
silver fanatics, among the latter be
ing five senators at one time Ri-pub
licans, but who bad long ago forfeit
ed all c.aiins to that appellation.
The combination succeeded and tbe
Dingley bill died "a bornin'."
The Republican party is not re
sponsible for the acts of such men as
Teller, Dubois, Jones et al, and it is
to the credit of Republicanism that
the effort was made to telieve a dis
tressed country when that distress
was brought about pure and simple
by a Democratic administration.
Had there been a Republican major
ity in the senate, the country would
have received the benefit of this
emergency tariff legislation. :
On the other hand, the Republican
house saved the nation from the
workings of the bond resolution,
which the Populist-Democratic sen
ate tried to foist upon the people.
In both these instances the lower
house showed they were in touch
with the best needs of the country,
and that the Republican party, now
as ever', when put in . power could be
trusted to perform its duty.
It is easy to see where the blame
for present conditions should rest.
Tbe silver senators, who, deep in
their own selfishness, were blind to
the country's welfare, are the cause of
the present congress' record, and the
lesson for the nation and the Repub
lican party to draw is that more care
must be shown in the choice of na
tional servants.
The result of the recent election
has left the matter of Senator Hitch
ell's re-election one of uncertainty.

Tbe state weather report received
day eays :
The Snake river is falling, and tbe
Columbia above Pasco continues to rise.
The nee was produced by the warm
weather from Mav 23 to June 4. Since
the latter date cooler weather has pre
vailed over the country east of the Cas
cades, ami especially over the country
drained by the Clearwater, Snake and
tributary rivers; hence thei- decreased
height. The reuorts at this office do not
indicate that an excess of snow fell dur
ing the past winter in the mountains,
hence it is not supposed that any great
or phenomenal rise will result. The great
est damage lies in the tact that the
temperature has beea low during April
and May, and this has prevented the
usual slow melting of the snow in the
mountains during these months. Should
the temperature rise and the weather
continue clear and warm for several
weeks, then higher water will naturally
ensue than should tbe weather continue
cool, or the temperature even be normal.
Many of the smaller streams will rise to
their usual or possibly higher stage be
fore the middle of July, but from pres
ent conditions and appearances there is
little danger of any unusual flood in the
Columbia, Snake or Lower Willamette
rivers. For those who may not be ac
quainted with conditions.it should be
said that the Jane rise in the Willamette
river is not caused by conditions along
or tributary to the river, but is produced
by the melting of tbe snow in the moan-
tains in the country drainedby the Col
umbia audits tributaries east of tbe
Cascades; tbe rise in the Colombia pre
vents the Willamette from flowing into
the Columbia, hence the Willamette
backs up to a height equal to tbe height
of the surface of tbe water in the Colom
bia, and this backing affects the Willa
mette np as far as the Willamette falls
at Oregon City, some 15-miles sooth of
Portland.

The Regulator was captured this
morning without resistance by a large
bevy of Atnazons, who trooped down to
the landing shortly before 8 o'clock and
directed the captain to point the prow
of the boat toward Stevenson. With
the captain subdued, the conquest of
the crew was easy, and the Regulator
was theirs. At Stevenson they landed
and devoted the day to pleasure. They
chose an Eden-like camping ground in
point of scenic attractions, but minus
the hitherto inevitable Adam. Just
how they amused themselves we are un
fortunately unable to state, and it will
perhaps never be known, for women
never tell a eecret, and reporters were
barred. Whatever the manner of their
entertainment, if it attained their expec
tations, tbe day must have been a happy
one, for before leaving they dropped
many significant hints that they were
going to have fun, and fun was what
they were going for. When the boat
palled far enough away from tbe pier so
that it was impossible to jump aboard
they shouted "We won't be home till
morning," and tbe reflections on the
part of the worser halves' left behind
were more or less miserable in conse
quence. But when they do return,
with faces possibly tanned and with the
vivacious spirits of girlhood once again
shining out of their bright eyes, what
ever they have done will be forgiven
and forgotten, and the memory of their
day off will be among the pleasant
things to reflect upon for many years to
come.

TIIE BUSINESS MAN'S LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion go
Hand in Hand.
, Concentrated thought, continued In, robe
the stomach of necessary blood, and this ia
also true of hard physical labor.
When a five horse-power engine is made
to do ten horse-power work something is
going to break. Very often' the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
office will "bolt" his food in a few min
utes which will take hours to digest Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a keg of nails would be in a
fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and "ready
to break," because they do not get the
nourishment they require from' the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest in bed. . '
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en-
ioyment of life and healthy digestion whea
ic takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve a bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The " Pellets " are tiny
sugar-coated pills made of highly concen
trated vegetable ingredient which relieve '
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be takes
for a short time to cure the biliousness,
constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of
the liver; then the "Medical Discovery"
should be taken in teaspoon ful doses to In
crease the blood and enrich it It has a .
peculiar effect upon the lining membrane
of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not ,
deadened, or put to Bleep, as the so-called
celery compounds-and nerve mixtures d
but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi
gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can curt
you rself with Dr. Pierce' Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store in the country.
Marvelous Result.
From a letter written by Rev. J Gan
derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are
permitted to tnaka this extract: "I
have no hesitation in recommending Dr.
King's New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvelous in the case of my
wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist
Church at Elver Junction she was
brought down with Pneumonia succeed
ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of
coughing wonld last hours wHh little In
terruption and it seemed as if she could
not survive them. A friend recom
mended Dr. King's New Discovery; it
was quick in its work and highly satis
factory in results." Trial bottles free at
