IS THE END NEAR AT HANDt
Interest in the locks at the Cas
cades has revived because of the
announcement that work will be
begun upon the inner walls within a
short time. Opinion differs as to
whether or not the task will be com
pleted and the canal ready tor the
operation of boats before the present
year has passed Of one thing we
are sure, there is but little to be
done, and -if the will is present the
way can be easily found.
The national government has act
ed very generously in acceding to
the results made by the people's rep
resentatives, which requests were
based upon the estimates made by
supposedly competent engineers.
The money last appropriated, and
which is now on hand, it is intended
shall be sufficient for the completion
of the locks to navigation. Nothing
but chicanery and jobbery cau pre
vent such a realization, but judging
faom the past, the people of Eastern
Oregon have no firm faith for the
future.
"We believe that at this time a
special effort should be made tow
ards preventing any repretition of
former delays. The locks are on the
verge of completion, and a set back
now would mean that the intention
exists somewhere that the work
shall never be finished.
Congressman Ellis and Senator
McBride are in the state, and Sena
tor Mitchell will soonj be here. It
would seem a good plan if a meet
ing of these gentlemen with the
citizens., of The Dalles could be ar
ranged and the situation freely and
frankly discussed. The matter is of
such overwhelmingly importance to
Eastern Oregon that it should be
clearly understood just what the sit
uation is, and a declaration made by
our delegation in congress would
serve to dissipate any existing
doubts.
THE WOOL OUTLOOK.
Here is a dispatch which describes
the situation existing at Heppner.
Its parallel can be found in The
Dalles:
Never before in the history of
Eastern Oregon has there been
time when woolgrowers could not
get money on their wool, either by
selling or consigning; but since Sat
nrday evening there is not a buyer
that will purchase at anv price or
advance a dollar on clips in storage.
One prominent buyer said today that
if the best clip in town were oflfered
at two cents per pound, he could not
buy, as his orders were not to buy at
any price. Unless there is a change
soon, hard times are only commenc
ing in this county.
A year ago wool was selling freely
in Eastern Oregon cities, and where
competing circumstances were pres
ent the price reached a fairly remun
erative figure. Now there is none
selling, nor likelihood of any. A
year ago the prospect for Republican
success was brighter than it is today,
and that is why there was a market
for our wool. The agitation for
free silver, which has reached great
proportions, has caused many Repub
licans to leave their party standards
and forego one of the chief issues in
the contest.
It is purely a maUtr of opinion
wuicn - is tue issue ot greater mo
ment in the present campaign. Pro
tection and sound money are of equil
importance; one is useless without
the other. Whether one be more
vital than the other depends greatly
upon the eyes through which the
view is taken; but this much is
sure: ihe object lesson which is in
dicated by the dispatch from Llepp
ner and by the condition in The
Dalles should prevent any Republi
can, because of an honest belief in
free silver, forsaking the equally
important question of protection, and
voting with the party that has
brought about the present conditions.
Political history affords some in
teresting data concerning the nom
ination of presidential ' candidates.
It is not necessary to go back farther
than 1856, at the time that the Re
publican party practically came on
to the political stage. Fremont was
nominated on the first formal ballot
by unanimous vote. Buchanan was
nominated on the 1 7th ballot. Pres
ident Lincoln hud on the first ballot,
in I860, 102 votes out of 465. He
wr.s nominated on the third ballot by
300, to KIo for Seward of New York.
Lincoln's second nomination . was
practically unanimous.
THE DEMOCRATIC BOLT.
It is none too soon for the Repub
licans of Oregon to prepare for the
camnaign, which in a short while will
commence in earnest. There is need
of great work to be done in Wasco
county, where, we are sorry to say
there are some free silver Republi
cans who intend voting for Bryan
By organizing clubs in every pre
cinct and carrying on a campaign of
education, Wasco counts- cau be
made to roll up its accustomed Re
publican majority.
All flesh is weak, and Candidate
Brian, wbo started out two weeks
ago as the opponent of corporations,
is now a victim to their blandish
inents. At the time of his nomina
tion he was so unknown to fame
that he bought an ordinary railroad
ticket like other, people when he
wished to travel. Now he rests in
the luxury of a special train. How
will that strike his Populist boosters ?
With envy probably.
lue case or. the branch insane
asylum is' up in the supreme court
for the third time. The suit is to
restrain the state treasurei from pay.
ing a warrant or $2d,uou, issued in
payment of a site purchased by the
state board of building commission
ers for the erection of a branch asy
lum at Union. The suit has been
twice decided against the state, and
its re-appearance at this time seems
to illustrate farther the law's delay,
What has Mr. Bryan ever done to
entitle him to a place among the
presidents of the United States? He
is a good Fourth of July orator, but
the country at this critical moment
needs a man of sober thought, of
wide experience and tried character.
Bryan possesses none of these quali
fications. As a stampeder Bryan
would be a far greater success than
a president.
There has been .a cessation of
Bryan speeches for several days. Is
it possible the "boy. orator" has ex
hausted his stock of pretty phrases ?
The intelligence of the country is
turning against the Democratic ticket
and platform. Many of the most
influential and reputable Democratic
journals of the East are declaring
against Bryan and favor the election
of McKinley in no uncertain tone.
Among these is the New York Sun,
which has published an address to
its Democratic readers which is well
worth the perusal of everyone. The
Sun says:
It is impossible to bolt the Demo
cratic national ticket next Novem
ber, for there is no Democratic na
uonai ticket to Doit, mere are
Populist-anarchist candidates . nonv
mated on a Populist-anarchist plat
form. Such a ticket and such
platform bind no Democrat who
does not confuse names with princi
pies. The name of the Democratic
party is assumed by a lot of persons
who have foisted into the platform
principles utteily repugnant to Dem
ocratic principles, strange and dan
gerous doctrines, threatening alike
the honor and the prosperity of the
United States. Rotten money, class
legislation, restrictions upon the
freedom of contract, freedom of riot,
and the dependence of the supreme
court are not Democratic principles,
and should be opposed by them by
all means in their power.
Democracy is not a transient col
lection of persons who may misrep
resent or misuse it ; it is a collection
of beliefs, a whole history of political
dogmas and traditions. When the
attempt is made to supersede these
by a mass of alien and hostile opin
ion, as revolting to the Democratic
creed and practice as to business, to
the security of property and good
order, and to the spirit of American
liberty, the Democrat 13 not the man
who servilely consents to the violent
changes in the party and in the coun
try, but he who opposes them by all
the means in his power.
The sane and loyal Democrat will
maintain his allegiance to the state
organization, wherever that has not
bowed to anarchy. He will not
cease to be a "Democrat. For the
ultimate recovery of his party from
the power of the madmen who con
trol it, for the present he will pre
pare the way for the only safe and
sure mears, by votms for William
McKinley. Such a vote is a vote
against anarchy and Populism, and
such a vote is also the duty of a
good citizen, for only. by severe de
feat can the anarchized Democratic
party be brought back to its senses
and to genuine Democracy. v
The patriotic Democrat bos a duty
to perform which his - conscience
should not allow him to shirk..
Here is a truth which is worth re
membering. In speaking of the
issues present in the campaign the
Oregonian says: "Everybody can
not think alike, and there will be
some to whose minds the tariff ques
tion will appeal moie strongly than
the money question. McKinley is
still the candidate of all who believe
in protection to American industry
Bryan is still the free trader he has
always been."

The action of the D. P. fe A. N.
Co. in keeping their line running to
Portland while so many obstacles
exist is woithy of high praise. The
boat company is the best friend The
Dalles ever had, and the people
should never be forgetful of their
duty towards it. The Regulator
should have the continued and en
thusiastic support of our people.
The Democratic party would seek
to legislate into office judges of the
United States supreme court who
would render decisions according to
tenets of the party. One of the
safeguards of constitutional govern
ment would thus be destroyed.
