A SOLID FRONT.
If. tM. Dougherty, of Mount Ver
non, U., chairman or the Uhio Ke
publican state central committee, is
in Washington for a few days.
"We've 'got a fight on our hands
in Ohio this year," said he to a New
York Tribune correspondent, "but I
cave no fear as to the result. The
Rcpublienns will elect their state
ticket and a majority of the legisla-
ture, and Senator Hanna will be
chosen to succeed himself. There is
no dissension in the Republican
ranks, and the party will present a
solid front against the opposition.
ai tae same time tue campaign will tion and despair. Every good citi
Jbe about as hot and exciting as any zen hopes for the former and dreads
in Tecent times. Both sides will have
me uess speaKing talent, ootn local
and imported, and every county will
be canvassed thoroughly. The
Democrats profess to be sanguine of
victory, but I do not imagine that
many of ihem really expect to win."
Mr. Dougherty is in Washington
lo consult with Senator Hanna and
other Buckeye leaders regarding the
'composition of the executive com-
, mittee,
chosen.
which has not yet been
uur. tYannamaKer snvs: "What a
- Tir . . i . . m .
Tw6nderful thing it will be if Provi
dence opens up to us in Alaska $250,
000,000 of gold, and thus settles the
money question." Mr. Wannama
ker's mind has gone to sleep. Sup
pose five times the amount stated
should be yielded by Alaska, what
proportion of it would , we keep?
While the Clondyke has furnished
the world $2,000,000, this country
has exported fourteen times that
much. The gold produced does not
- stay witli ns, but is divided with the
people of the worl J. The sum
stated divided among the people of
Europe wonld give each about sev
enty cents, -or among the pebple of
North America $2.50 each. With a
iper capita circulation 'of $25 it will
lake $25,000,000 a year to provide
tfor the increase of population in the
United States.
There are about a dozen steamers
advertised to leave Seattle for Alaska
"before September, and there will be
from' San Francisco, Portland and
other points probably five or six
more, or say twenty in all. These
will average 250 each, or 5000 men,
who will be dumped on io the cheer
less shores of Alaska, with only a
few weeks at most intervening before
winter sets in, Those who went the
first of August took chance enough,
but those who go the first of Septem
ber are taking none; they are run
ning up against a dead certainty. It
is quite probable that .the .steamers
now rushing as fast as steam can
drive them for Alaska, will continue
to do n profitable business this win
ter, bringing home those who failed
to get through.
The New York Sun prints some
figures to show the magnitude of the
pension payments. . It prints tables
showing the receipts from customs
and from internal revenue for the
past five years, also the amounts paid
for pensions. - It has taken, in round
numbers, all the . money collected
from either of . these two sources lo
meet the pension payments, which
amount to about $140,000,000 a
year. These figures are worth study
ing in connection with the proposi
tion now made to farther increase
pension expenditures byabout $40,
000,000 a year.
' Thursday silver took a decided
tumble; falling one and one quarter
cents on the ounce in the New Yoik
market, and selling at 55 cents. . At
this price the value of the bullion in
silver dollar Is 43 ceiits. There
are manv explanations eiven of thi&
sudden fail, but there seems tov be
onlv one that is reasonable, and that
is that the world's markets are over
stocked with it. The demonetiza-
tion of silver by the leading nations
a ,
0f tue , world has, no doubt, caused
113 aePreciation, out ine

does
not want it, the slump will continue
until it ceases to be a precious metal.
If it is not used as money, there is
no other use it can be put to that will
keep the metaf from being a drug on
the market. '
EVOL VTION OR RE VOL UTION.
There is no. material change in
the situation among the striking
coal-miners. ' So far the operators
have refused to concede anything
except that they will quit robbing
their employes by the use of dishon
est scales. It will not be long be
fore there will be developments.
The surplus stock of coal Is being
used ud. and the ability of the strik-
ere to support themselves in idleness
grows daily less. What the result
may be no man may guess, but it
will be one of - two tLingsconces
sions on the part of the operators
that will permit the miners to live,
I or an outbreak caused by despera
the latter,
Backed by the Jaw, the mine
owners bave steadily applied the
thumb-screws to labor, forcing wages
lower and lower, unheeding the cries
of anguish of the victim. Capital
and labor are so intimately connected
that neither can prosper without the
other, and it is sorrowful indeed to
find them arrayed against each other.
It is passing strange that capital can
not understand this; more t:ian
strange that it denies to labor its lair
share of the mutual employment, and
denies to it all the profits arising
from beneficent legislation.
Anarchy is a dreadful thing in-
whatever shape it comes, and capital
has become imbued with anarchistic
ideas. Let it beware the day when
labor shall take . to heart the same
lessen. Money has ascended the
throne and is the Ameriean king.
Little wonder is it that like other
kings it takes as true the legai fiction
that "the king can do no wrong.
Chailes u was tanght differently by
Cromwell, and Robespierre, Danton
and Murat taught the same lesson in
France. Every patriotic citizen
must view tbe situation in this coun
try not only with alarm, but it may
well awaken terror. Labor seeing
its earnings grow steadily smaller,
while the earnings of capital grow
steadily larger, protests by strikes.
The protests go unheeded. Behind
the Money king is the law; behind
the law the people. But are they ?
Up to this time, yes; but there is a
point beyond whi:h they will not be
behind it, but will overthrow it.
The policy of the corporation pur
sued to its legitimate end means
serfdom. It will be stopped before
it reaches that stage, either by wise
legislation or by violence. Contin
ued we must expect serfdom or an
arch', and Americans do not take
kindly to slavery. We will have
eyolution or revolution, for the evil
has grown to such proportions that it
must be corrected. The manner of
its correction rests with the employ
ers of- labor. Under our laws as
they exist at present, at least, every
employer has the right to employ
whom he pleases at wages fixed by
himself. On the other hand the
laborer has the right to work or re
fuse to work for such wages as may
be offered. ' - .
But beybnd this there is another
matter. . Our national legislature has
enacted a law, the avowed object of
which is to enable American manu
facturers to compete with .the cheap
labor of the world and pay Ameri
cans living wages. The nation is
not yet throughv rejoicing at the
enactment of ttie law. It was. con
ceived in justice, and was passed tor
the benefit of all the people. Labor
is entitled to its share, and capital is
not entitled : to all. It takes it, bat
it takes it in defiance of the law. The
law is good, but there are no means
provided for enforcing either its
letter or spu it. There is no penalty
attached for violating its spirit and
intent. The tariff laws should have
another clause providing that labor
niU3k be paid a inven per cent more
j than like occupations in other coun
tries, and the employer failin; in
- this should not . be illowcd to carry
on the business, for if protection
does not mean protection for all, it
does not mean anything. -
Congress adjourned some time
ago, but still the Congressional Rec
ord is published, and, the worst - of
it is, is filled with speeches' that were
never made, but which the authors
are given leave to print as if they
had been made. The only - object
in this is to permit the congressman
who is Supposed to have made them
to send to his admiring constituents
thousands of copies of his alleged
speech, at the expense of the govern
merit. Congress should take oitv on
a long-suffering public and stop this
practice. There is no reason why
the public should be dosed with
speeches congress will not consent to
listen to
Joaquin jiinier, writing from on
board the steamer Mexico at Victo
ria, B. C, tells all about the trip to
the Clondyke, says that tLe dangers
are greatly exaggerated, and that
there are no hardships to speak of.
That there is no danger of food run
ning tbort, and advises everybody to
"come on. Joaquin having started
from San Francisco, Imagines he has
made a part of the trip, and having
traveled 1000 miles, thinks he- is ap
proaching the mines. He will find
things different when he tackles that
portion of the road between Dyea
and lake Bennett, for the trip does
not begin until one get? ashore with
a ton of plunder.
BIG GRAIN FIRE.
It Occurred Late SuturdnT Iffrfht Near
Adams The Lo Severe.
Late Saturday nig'lit Pendfeton people
were startled by a b'lf light in tbe east
ern horizon. It was soppoRed to be
wheat fire, and the supposition? proved
correct. Up near Adams there was a
blaze that oagbt to prove a warsing to
farmers in future as to the business wis
dom of wheat insurance.
The fire occurred between 19 sod 11
o'clock, and was fanned to fearfirf ftry
by a wind and duet storm that ratted
along the Wild Horse. - Parties who-witnessed
the fire from a distance of three
miles aay that a sheet of flame, Beam
ingly a mile wide, advanced rapidly
toward the northeast, its roar atrd
craskle being plainly liear.d, and tbe
odor of burning wheat perceptible to
the nostrils. VFhen a "Betting" was
reacbed the red demon of tbe fire leaped
higher and bigker still, aid mingled
wiih-huge volumes of black smoke. It
was a fascinating eight and yet a ecd
oner for thousands of needed dollars
went np in that smoke.
Jamea.T. Lieullen, formerly a mer
chant at Adams, suffered reach by the
fire. Jast southeast of the town a quar
ter section ot fiae wheat belonging to
Mr. Lieuallen bad. just bees harvested
and be lost it ail. The stubble was
heavy and buraed fiercely.. Tbe field
was dotted with straw stacks and pile
of wheat in easks, and these were re
lentlessly consumed. Oat of about ftOOO
bushels of wheat naught was left next
morning save smoking piles throughout
the field. V
The veering of the wind, and a long
strip of summer-fallow across the path
of the fire, stopped its progress. Bad
the wind been blowing south, it is likely
the flames wonld not bave stopped en til
they reached the TJmatilla, after licking
up miles of rich grain fields and a dozen
threshing outfits. ,
It is reported that the fire is supposed
to bave occurred from sparks dropped
by Mosgrove's steam threshing outfit in
Bergevin Bros.' fieid near by. These,
no doubt, smoldered and were fanned
into flames when the wind storm oc
curred. Bergevin Bros, lost by the fire
part of a 160-acre field, and Charles
Marsh also lost some wheat. The chief
loss falls on Mr. Lieuallen, however.
The crop lost was insured for $1560 in
tbe Norwich Union, Lee Moorhouse hav
ing written the policy. This does not
near cover the loss. East Oregonian.
The ladies of St. Peters church will
give ' a moonlight excursion on tbe
steamer Regulator next Saturday even
ing, leaving here at 9 p. m. and return
ing at 12. The profits arising from this
excursion will go into the fund for tbe
new church, and being a worthy cause, j
should be liberally patronized by the

PIONEER STEAMBOATING.
Recollections or m Man Who Kail id One
' of the FirBt Vessels.. -
Mr. James H. Elgin recalls to mind
early experiences of steam boating on the
Columbia that are amusing as well as
interesting, and illustrate how matters
were managed in early times. ' In An
gnst, I860, he was assisting in building
the steamer Wasco, the third that was
built above the Cascades. . The Fashion,
built in 1851, was first, but was taken
below ; to work the lower river. The
Mary was next, bnilt in 1853, by the
Brad ford 8, who, he. says, were- 39 brave
as enterprising and not afraid to face the
tomahawk of the- savage. Thev kept
men employed at good wages,' were easy
bosses, and the money was ready every
Saturday night. So wian wee ever
heard to growl about work or treatment.
- In August,' 1855,' the Wasefl was
launched ; the owners were F. G. Imans,
Capt. McFarland and son, Neil McFar
land. Capt. McFarland was a whole-
souled man, who made every man with
him feel good. I made many trips np
and down . tbe Columbia ' with tbe fast
sailing steamer VVaeco, says Mr. Elgin,
for she carried, sail as well as steam.
It then took from , early morning until
late at night to go from the Cascades to
The Dalles. She carried from five to
twenty passengers. ' They were Hud
sou's Bay company men, government
officials, prospectors or adventurers. ,
STEAMBOATING' C.S'DEB FIBK. .
In the fall of 1855, when boats went
up and down the river, they bad to keep
as close to the Oregon shore as they
could. Tbe Indians would secrete them
selves in tbe rocks along tbe river, be
low tbe Klickitat and White Salmon,
and wonld fire into passing boats.
don't think anybody- was every hit with
their leaden messengers, but the hatter
of the s bullets on tbe pilot house and
other parts of the boat made captains
careful, and passengers wonld hide their
beads in the safest place they could find.
None of us cared to stand on deck to
take observations when passing one of
ttiose rocky points, known as Indian
fortresses. The beautiful scenery along
the river had not sufficient attraction to
indues eight-seeing nnder tboee difficul
ties. -
The waters were often so turbulent
tbat tb little steamer of that dav bad to
hunt eocbo small barber along tbe rocky
shores, and lie there until tbe storm
abated. I bave known a steamer to lie
for twentj-four hours before it was safe
to resume tbe voyage. . While tbn wait
ing the turn of events there was- danger
of a night attack from savages, and con
tinual wate&and guard bad to be kept.
I rememberone trip, wben one of tbe
oldest pioneers at Tbe Dalles Mr.
Langhlin and bie daughter, now Mrs.
Lord took passage. They had- never
been west or the Cascadeaand intended
to visit Portland and have a steamboat
ride, never having bad one. But before
tbe Wasco 'reached Crate's Point the
wind rose, white caps flewvand tbe boat
began to roll- and pitch ioa formidable
war Fatherand daughter both beoame
very sea sick. Tbe perpeadicnlar wU
of rock on tbe- shore was lashed by a
heavy sea, and!', occasionally the waves
would rol entirely over tbe little Wasco,
making the Umbers and- the boat to
quiver with the continued? shocks. We
bad to keep 03 headway natil we reached
one ot the tittle coves ta.be found be
tween Mosiers-and. Hood, river, wJjere
tbe Wasco ran in . and anchored near,
shore. - We ware twenty miles from Tbe
Dalles, and the only road was av rode
trail along-tbe shore, brushy and rocky
by turns, anU very rough- to travel in the
best of wecther. Bat Mr. and Miss
Laughlin bad all they wanted of steam
boating, and resolved to leave tbe boat
and make their way back throcgb the
savage wilderness, witb all tbe chances
of savage men besides,, rather than take
the risk of finishing tbe trip on the
steamer Wasco. Tbey bad learoed tbat
no place was like home, and home they
went, afoot and alone. Tbe danger from
hostile Indians was great, but it did not
deter them.
STEAMBOAT EACIN& N THE MIJQ0LK RIVER.
With the McFaslands, father and son,
at tbe wheel and engine I always feH
safe, except once when tbey were bound
to beat the Mary in a trip from tbe Cas
cades to Tbe Dalles. Tbe two boats ray
at the Upper Cascades, and the captain
of the Mary bad been bragging of his in
tention to beat the Wasco to The Dalles,
fie bad gone to the length of promising
his passengers a free ride if they eame
into The Dalles after the Wasco did. It
was generally known tbat the two- boats
were to race from the Cascades to Tbe
Dalles.
We left our landing just above tbe
falls, a few minutes before the Mary did,
with thirty 'passengers on board. When
we pushed out we found that the two
tiller ropes bad been cut and the man at
the wheel bad no control of tbe boat.
This happened just above the falls, and
tbe unmanageable boat was drifting
down to the edge of the rapids without
means to handle her. There was cause
for alarm and all hands were anxious.
We had no yawl boat to carry a line to
the shore, and there was only one pole
that wonld reach bottom. ' The wind
came down stream strongly, and made
our situation more perilous. After some
hard work we got near enongh to shore
to get a line out and make fast. While
in this predicament Capt. Dan Baugh
man passed ns with all hands on board
his boat yelling and groaning at the poor
Wasco, and jeering us with "When will
you be at The Dalles?" . "
NIP AND TUCK,. UCT JTUCK AHEAD."
In half an hour we bad our rudder
ropes all right, and when the - Mary was
three miles or so up tbe river we made
our second start. -'And now for the race,
The Wasco, was fired np fierce) v: the
cook was down splitting wood ; our pas
sengers were aroused by the tiick tbat
endangered their lives, and all were
ready . to lend a band. Half an hour
showed wo were gaining ground and
closing the long gap. -The passengers
were much excited, and their excitement
raD so .high that men went wild at
least so a stranger wonld have thought if
be could have dropped in on the same
unawares. When the "Mary found we
were gaining 60 rapidly the officers and
passengers on board her became equally
excited and commenced firing up and
heating their boiler to the danger point.
But in spite of their efforts the Wasco
went by them, and the shrieking of
steam ; whistles was drowned bv the
wildest yells imaginable. We ran close
alongside, and all the throats on board
the Wasco grew hoarse with the strain
put on, the yells we gave being accom
panied by groans unutterable from tbe
passengers and . crew of the opposing
boat. .We passed tbem before reaching
Wind. river mountain, a distance of
twelve miles. Then the Mary fired np
afresh and passed us again. This made
! Real McFarland hotter than his boiler
He ordered tbe old darkey cook to
bring tbe resin barrel, and into tbe fur
nace it went. Then came the soap-fat
barrel, and in it went.'' Things were
getting hot and hotter. The old darkey
was hunting his pantry for fat thing9,
while we were running by the Mary.
Even the side of bacon went into the
fire. Bat by this time tbe Mary was
far behind, and fortunately for. us they
felt so discouraged that they gave up the
trial and went along at a steady speed.
Fortunately for us, I say, because we
had strained matters, and could not
have kept up our pace. Already a rivet
had started, and escaping steam hissed
ont a flerc" warning of danger. ;
- When the rivet-bead jumped1 off, the
passengers concluded to walk alt and give
the steam a fair ebance. Neal McFar-
laad stood up to his work, and watched
the steam biasinjrfrom many a. seam,
but he was not scared by a little sound.
It was only wben it was evident that the
Mary bad given np the race that he same
dowr to ordinary steam; but he-was
not sorry When it was possible to do- so.
He was a man destitute of fear ; even
on tbe- battlefield be bad proved super
ior to it.
Tbe Beit boat built' was the HassarO,
which was considered a very fine boet;
and was launched in July, 1856.. Al
most every year thereafter until the
railroad, went down the river, a new
boat waa built for tbe middle river.
TB3-. VIBST POETAGTjr.SAILEOAD.
The farst ear track ever tbe portage
was made in 1851. It was two feet
wide, with four-inch r scantling for
rails. The cars were battled by mnles,
had wooden wheels mads of fir planks,
and with wooden axles. In fact, there
was no iron in tbe construction of either
cars or road, except the nails nsed. Tbe
steamer Bell ran from Portland to the
Lower Cascades, to connect with the
portage railroad, and the steamer Mary
ran above to The Dalles. A staunch
built schooner took the- freight from
the BeU to the middle landing, when
the wind was np stream, which was
usually the ease for six--months, from
tober to April. When tbe wind was
down stream the Cascade-Indians were
employed to tow the schooner. Any
number of tbem were usually obtaina
ble at short notice. The railroad termi
nus was below- the big eddy, where the
Hadson Bay men had always hauled
ont their boats. The plaee was known
to old navigators as Clentchman's rock.
With a fair wind the schooner would
sail up in a few hours,, bat with wind
and weather unfavorable one or two
days were required to cordell up to the
landing, requiring the services of thirty
to forty Indians. That was wby freight
was $80 a ton from Portland to Tbe
Dalles in early davs. ?rom an old copy

The Instltate Closed.
The teachers' institote closed yester
day a. moat saccesBfnJ- meeting and today
most ef tboee who attended returned to
their homes delighted at having had the
opportunity to attend it. Notwithstand
ing the petulance of onr newspaper
brother oat at Dufnr, tbe teachers from
tbat neighborhood are well satisfied and
eoasider tbe $50 contributed . well
spent. The connty superintendent real
izing tbe expense incurred in attending
the institute, and the inability of some
to attend, has never thought of revokiag
certificates for non-attendance, behevisg
that all who could do so, would be pres
ent. From most of those not attending,
letters were received explaining their
reaeons for remaining away, and ex
pressing regret therefor. - Superintend
ent Gilbert simply took upon himself
the labor of a four weeks'- institute for
the benefit of the teachers, receiving no
recompense therefor other tcan nis
salary. The Dufur Dispatch seems to
think this a crime, but it will find none
to agree with it. - , . 1
