The practice of carrying concealed weapons received another criticism yesterday. We have stated dozens of times in the course of a few years newspaper work that the convenient . pistol has gotten a hundred men into trouble, where it got one out. That was the case yesterday, and the prac tice of carrying a pistol yesterday re sulted in lodging one man in jail and putting another's life in jeopardy. With the merits of the shooting this article has nothing to do. Opinions may and . will vary on that subject, but if the pistol had not been handy, the results would not have been seri ous. ' And yet we must confess that there is some excuse for carrying . concealed weapons, even though it be against the law, and that excuse is in the law itself. Assault and bat tery cases are dealt with too lenient )y. One man, because he has the strength, beats another, and that other, appealing to the law, finds that the chances are even of his assailant being acquitted, and be discovers. also, that the jury of his assailant's peers measures that opponent's at tack as an assault only. The wound ed feelings, soiled clothes and bat tered face have not weight enough to be classed as a battery, and the judge in accordance with the verdict, meas nres the damages at a nominal sum, . say $5 to $20. Neither the judge nor the jury own the black eye. and swollen nose, consequently it does not appear serious to them, but it is an ineontrovertiblefact that when man gets a swollen nose or a black eye he fancies be has the biggest and blackest specimens ever produced He thinks he has at least a hundred dollars' worth, and he has. Then, instead of him getting any part of the line, the state thinks revenge salve enough for him, and devotes the money to its own purposes. This causes a good citizen to feel that the law does not protect him, and he, going back to a state of nat ure, de termines to protect himself. The Dalles has had entirely too much of this kind of thing, and it is to be hoped that the affair of. yester day will serve as a warning to those who go seeking quarrels, and also serve to point out to those who have the enforcement of the laws, both judges and jurors, the necessity of .8 wife, sure and severe punishment of those who indulge in the luxury of thumping someone else. There are whole lots of American people who do not enjoy being thrashed, and who will defend themselves when the law fails to protect them. Until the laws concerning assault and bat tery are enforced, people who are not athletes are going to go prepared to save themselves a beating, even if someone else has to ornament a fun eral procession. , The most emphatic assertion of returning prosperity is contained in a dispatch from Chester, Fa., which says : "The employes of George C. Hazel fc Co., manufacturers of worst-' ed goods, have been notified that the wages paid in 1892 will be restored September 'Gib. There is no gain saying that kind of a statement. . . W. J. Jones, U. S. commissioner to Alaska, assigned to St Michaels in a letter dated at Dyea August 4th, and addressed to the interior depart ment, says that the miners are throw ing away their packs and rushing headlong to the mines, taking barely enough to carry them in. This does not correspond with later statements ; The strike in the coal mining re gions serves to show the variegated nature of American citizenship. The strike is not an Arrerican institution, nor is it one that Americans take to kindly. Most native-born ; citizens have been educated in' the doctrine that an American laborer can work at any job he can secure; and can quit whenever and wherever be likes. He has been taught that the employer may hire whom he pleases, when he pleases, and pay such wages as he pleases, and can discharge his employes when he sees fit to do so. That the man with labor to sell can not force any one to buy it, and the man with money to buy labor with cannot compel any one to work for him. . That, in fact, . capital and labor are on an equal footing with regard to their rights and liberties. The strike in the coal mines is not an American strike, out a foreign one, most of the coal miners being Hungarians and Slavs. They were imported by the coal operators, some of them in violation of law, for the reason that their labor was cheap, and there are few, if arty, of them now striking but that are receiving better wages than they did before they came to America. The trouble is that tfiey have forced the wages of the American miner down to a point where he cannot exist on them. The strike ' so far has been free from bloodshed, and ' it is possible that it may be ended without it, but not probable. There is a vase cle ment of uLeducated men, mostly of foreign birth, engaged in the strike; men who understand k not American faws or the principle of American government, and trora these the trouble will come. The strike, though, shows a vast number of men, the larger portion of whom cannot speak the English language, carrying on a fight with American mine owners. HOPE'S STAR IN THE WEST. expect. . The masses of the Spanish people had neither the education nor the training which would have fitted them for self government, nor have they now. Of course a double re bellion, or an uprising of the Repub licans and Car lists simultaneously, under able leaders, would be a seri ous menace to the present unpopular house. ; But the Republicans never had able . leaders, though they: had an abundance of good talkers and writers. In the matter of leadership the Carlisls have always been poorly equipped, except during their, first rising two-thirds of a century ago. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. . can side of the line.

Hope's star, is rising in the West; to the discredited, villificd and lam pooned West the East turns its ex pectant and hopeful gaze. "The demand for freight cars on western roads is still larger than the supply," says a New York daily. ''They are wanted to bring East the prosperity which has not been supplied from Washington." All the hopeful, cheery talk now heard in eastern financial centers turns around the great things the West is expected to do for the coun try. The West is to yield enough gold for the wants of the people ; the West is to blockade the railroads with its abundant crops, and thus enable the carriers to show increased earn ings; i he West is to send in big orders for manufactured goods, and thus set the idle mills a-running; the West is to provide near and profita ble openings for idle and timid cap ital, and give labor and wages to the unemployed. It is well that the country has put away . the delusion that prosperity must come from above and filter down among the people; . that the way to bring back prosperity was to coax the men holding the strong boxes to bring out their money and lend it to the farmers and manufact urers. That way prosperity would never have been found. Prosperity starts from below and works upward. It begins with the farmer, extends from the farmer to the country dealer, from the country dealer to the citv merchant, and from the city merchant to the manu facturer. It has no other course. Spokesman-Review. Silyer continues to fall in price, and a dollar now only contains forty cents in silver, , Its end as a money metal has come, except as it may ' be used as a , subsidiary coin. The writer has been a silver man, though not a rabid one. . He has believed that the price of silver might be maintained at something like its coin value. . Had the world chosen to make the attempt and .agreed upon a ratio, it might have been done; but the world did - not elect to do so. hence to discuss the ought-to-bes or might-have-beens is simply a waste of time. " What the : world , wants it will have, and what it does not want it connot be forced to take, for the reason that it is so large that its nose cannot be held while the dose is ad ministered. It is useless to cling to the idols of Baal, for they are broken m the tem ple, and it is folly to kick ngainst the inevitable.' Silver is done for, and that is ,all there is of it. ' The logic of a Bland and the eloquence of a Bryan , may' for a moment sway the crowd, but against their pens mid tongues is opposed the resistless weight of the financial world. Silver is dead, and the tact may as well be acknowledged and acquiesced in. The mourners are many, but the funeral will go on just the same, and those of us who felt friendly to the white metal might as well attend the last sad rites and get rid of the sur plus tears. An old sailor going through a graveyard came across a tombstone with the epitaph "I am not dead. but sleep." "Well, I'll be blowed," said he after reading it, "If I was dead I wouldn't get into my grave and lie about it." And that's the way we feel about it.

A Pittsburg man is the latest to come to the front with a proposition to secure places in advance for hundreds of respectable girls and transport thein to the gold fields. They would be located near each other,"so that they would have the benefit of each other's advice and society. Two objects, says the Pitts burg philanthropist, would be se cured.. The Klondikers would get better food, and the girls, being gathered from New England, where the market for them is over-stocked, would give the balance of the girls in that country a chance and send the stock up. ; The Pittsburg . man would, of course, expect all money advanced by him to be returned by the employer "or miner who should marry one of the girls, and would, no doubt, also receive- a handsome donation from the lucky fellow who located one of them. There is no patent on the idea, and western girls are not prohibited from making the venture on their own account. Dame Nature is ic a kindly mood, and now that the gold standard is assured for the world, the old girl seems to be sweating gold at every pore. The Klondike stories are as an Arabian Night's tale, but they are almost equaled by those from Cali fornia. Rich strikes are reported all over the ' state, while here in our grand old Oregon, without much be ing said about it, the gold output is being doubled.

The decision of the supreme court compelling the secretary of state to audit claims against the state, is a blow to Governor Lord, whose perquisites will be reduced by it $1800 a year, as tbe decision says the secretary shall draw warrants "only for such expenditures as are clearly authorized by the statutes." It appears that the governor's "sal ary" is made up of the following items : Salary, authorized by the constitution, $1500; prison inspector, $500; asylum trustee, $500 ; domestic animal commis sion, $2o0; trustee mute school, $250; trustee reform school, $2o0; expenses asylum trustee, $100; supervising pub lic works, $1000. Total $4350.' The three items, supervising public works, -$1000; asylum trustee, $500; prison inspector, $300, are not "plainly authorized by statute," so it is said that the governor will loss them unless he consents to 'call an extra session of the legislature to meet the requirements.
