The city recorder's annual report,
which we published yesterday, is an
exhibit that reflects great credit on
the men who Lave conducted the
affairs of this municipality for the
.past year. The total income for the
year has exceeded the expenditure
by the snug sum of $2,523.54, after
paying 13,420 for interest on the ex
isting city debt. The city has 8,.
500 in the sinking fund, and this
money is loaned at iuterest and is
producing over $500 a year. And
all this b.is been accomplished, or is
in progress, under a 5-mill tax,
while cities like Salem, Albany,
La Grmde, Astoria, Baker City,
Vancouver and Walla Wulla are run
ning behind, or. barely keeping even,
on a levy averaging more than
double that of The Dalles. As our
esteemed and ellicient recorder sayf :
"There is no reason why this pros
perous condition of the city should
not continue so long as its officers
Jive up to the maxim that & public
office is a public trust." It only re
mains for The Ciihomcle to saj'
that the new administration will
-enter upon its duties next Monday
possessed of the conGdcnce of the
taxpayers that the affairs of the city
will be conducted in a manner that
will equally meet their approval.
has let it out, the journalistic field in
the future will no doubt be over
worked. This is how it happens;
A child is born; the doctor iu at
tendance gets (10, the editor gets 0.
It is christened and the mi lister gels
." and the editor 00. When it
marries, the minister gets 10 and a
piece of cake and the editor gets
000. In the course of time it dies;
the doctor gets from io to $100, the
minister perhaps gets another $5, an
undertaker from $25 to $75. The
editor prints a notice of death and
obituary two columns leng and gets
0000, besides lodge and society reso
lutions, a free card of thanks and 8
lot of poetry. No wonder the editor
gets rich.
When a New Jinglaudcr is a
fanatic, he is generally a thorough
one, says the Telegram. There is
George Fred Williams now, spouting
like a very lunatic for free silver at
16 to 1, and tor a specific, radical
declaration therefor, when every
man of cood judgment, whether lie
was for free silver in 1896 or not,
knows that this dead and shriveled
propaganda could not secure, ot and
by itself, one vote out of Cve in all
the country at least throughout the
northern states. The wonder is that
Bryan don't choke off these raving
political lunatics. But since be
doesn't it must bo presumed that he
is one of them.
JURY FOUND HIM GUILTY.

Under the name of the "United
.'States Monetary League," a lot of
"Bryan's fool friends are going to
meet at Kansas City on July 3, the
Jay before the convention, apparent
ly to charge the atmosphere with
.their free-silver-at-lC-to-1 folly,
says the Telegram, A partial list of
the speakers will disclose the nature
of this idiotic effort Allen, Altgeld,
"Coin" Harvey, John P. St. John,
J. B. Weaver, Anarchists Sulzer and
Lentz, and "Silver-Republican"
Towne. Such a meeting, with Bryan's
approbation and if he did not ap
prove it would not be held will be
a rude, needless and fairly insulting
notice to the majority of Eastern
democrats and to hundreds of
thousands in the West, too that
their votes are not wanted; that
Bryan desires no votes but those of
. populists, silver cranks, socialists and
.anarchists. If Mr. Bryan can stand
this sort of a performance, bis op
ponents certainly can.
Three years of republican misrule
have brought distress in nearly all
parts of the country. It is almost
impossible to get men to work, and
when they can be found such out
rageous wages arc demanded! The
banks have difficulty in securing bor
rowers though the interest rate has
lowered considerably. The farmer
does not receive low prices for his
flax and cattle and the laboring
man has much work to do and
wueat up several cents. 1-argo

At 10 o'clock Thursday night the jury
in the case of the state of Washington
against George R. A. Fame, a ceased
with tfiH murderof Abe Worrell, brought
in verdict of guilty in the fiibt degree,
which means death by the rope, (ays the
Goldemlale Agriculturist.
The case was tried before Judge Miller
occupying five days, two of which, how
ever, were spent in securing a jury and
with arguments of counsel. The case
on the part of the prisoner was weak,
his defense being almost childish. He
had undoubtedly had a quarrel with
Worn II previous to Iho murder over a
team of horses, which Worrell objected
to his taking. Farris insisted on taking
the hrsee, and it was during this time
that Worrell was killed. That is about
the way Fairia put it whim on Ihestand.
Others think that Worrell was shot
down without warning.
The prisoner went on at great length
while on the stand in telling, his story,
and corroborating in the main the case
as made np by the defense. The evi
dence all went to show that Farns had
p'anned the crime in advance; and the
evidence was strong enough to convince
twelve of the beet citizens as to its
truth resulting", after five hours' de
liberation in the above verdict.
The state's case was ably managed by
County Attorney Darch, with the assist
ance of Hiram Dustin and Hon. A. 8.
Bennett; while Farria' deftnee was
faithfully and earnestly conducted by
W. B. Pri-sby, of Uoldendale, and II. 8.
Wilson, of The Dalles.
to attend the Salvation army and
bitched their horse just back of Hugh
Gourlay's residence on the biurT. Upon
returning Mrs. Kelley and the two little
ones got in the wagou, wheu the horse
became frightened and started to kick.
In some manner the children were got
tan oat before the animal tore op the
road and around the corner toward L.
E. Crowe's residence, with Mrs. Kelley
holding on to the front seat, the back
seat having fallen out. The horse
turned and ran up over the rocky road
in front of Crowe's and finally was
stopped in the alley near Iijbt. Mays'.
Frightened almost to death, Mrs. Kelley
fainted away and was some little time in
coming' to; but fortunately no perma
nent injury was done, as seemed inevit
able to those who watched the runaway.
NEW CITY COUNCIL MEETS.

Council Meeting.
The Ne-v York Sun works itself
up to the following ecstatic period
'The Hon. W. Dennis Oldham, the
Nebraska statesman to whom has
been assigned the honor of speaking
the chief nomination speech for
Col. Bryan at the Kansas City con
vention, mokes a magnanimous and
high old Iioman offer. He will dele
gate the honor to the Hon. David
Bennett Ilil! and to no man else.
Here is a chance for the Snge of
Wolfert's Roost to show his altruism.
Also a chance for a glorious show:
Mr. Hill in silver chains, celebrating
tne Peerless. But Mr. Oldham wastes
his breath, for Mr. Hill will not care
to waste any in climbing these
heights of self-sacrifice. Yet what
convulsive sobbings of a hundred
Missouri brass bands, what screams
of triumph, what multitudes of
strong, medium and weak men weep
ing there would be. We hear the
tears. But it is too good to be
true."
Application has been made to the
courts of New Jersey, by the holder
of 100 shares of stock, demanding an
accounting of the affairs of the
American Sugar Refining Company,
otherwise known as the, sugar trust.
This is. the same concern to which
Senator Jones, chairman of the na
tional democratic committee, wanted
to refund upwards of 1600,000 of
duties which the trusts had paid on
imports of Porto Kicau sugar.
Astomns are getting alarmed it
the rapidly diminishing amount of
tlu salmon catch, and the News
warns the citizens of Astoria that if
the present condition is permitted to
exist the salmon industry on the
Columbia will soon be a thing of
the past. The News lays the whole
blame on the "traps, seines and
wheels," and insists that they te
abolished, and abolished at once.
Of course the nets that catch more
fish in a day than the wheels do in a
month must neither be abolished nor
restricted.
The East Oregonian objects to
Jim Ham Lewis for the vice-presidency
on the ground that "he is
about as fit to Le a candidate as a
spider is to spin yurns." But a
spider can spin yarns and Jim Ham
couldn't do anything else if be tried
to.
Jeff Davis has been nominated for
governor of Arkansas, and esteemed
democratic contemporaries deem it
needful to explain that be is no re
lation of the Jeff Davis that was
hanged on a sour apple tree thirty
five years ago.
If any sound republican cannot
carry New York this year for gov
ernor, the empire state should grow
pop whiskers and drop down to the
45-oent dollar, with an apology for
its gold standard plurality in 18DG of
2C8,4C9.
David B. Hill thought he was
presidential timber in 1 89G, and also
an opponent of 10 to 1. Now the
best he can hope for Is to be the tail
of the Bryan kite and classed with
Sewall, Towne and Tom Watson.
Mr. Towne is calculated to make
more trouble than Tom Watsoti did
as a bifurcated candidate for vice-
president, lhe Minnesota man is
combative and takes himself more
seriously as a politician.
The adjourned meeting of the common
council was held Saturday night, when
the following business was transacted :
Petitions from all the saloon keepers
in town eighteen in number were pre
sented, asking for license for the ensu
ing six months, and granted.
The bill of the Times-Mountaineer for
publication of the suwer-asBeesment was
referred to the committee on sewers.
The following claims were allowed :

Meeting of Water Commissioners.
At the first meeting of the new city
council last evening the following were
present: Couucilmen Kelly, Gunning,
Johnston, Keller, Wilson, Shackelford,
Jayne, Liebe and Letnke, and the new
mayor, Hon. E. B. Dufur, presided. So
far as we learned no especial initiation
was given the new members, but what
will follow in the future for these new
dads will be sufficient without any pre
liminaries, for I arely the life of a coun
cilman is not to been envied.
The mayor's first act was to approve
the treasurer's bond, after which hie
message, which is published elsewhere,
was read.
A communication from Fire Engineer
George Brown, recommending that the
city purchase a Aug for the bell tower,
was read and approved, and the national
colors will soon float over the engine
house.
Then was presented an abstract of
title and deed from Mays & Huntington,
covering the property on which the pest
house is located, 12 i acres iu all. The
city has contemplated purchasing the
ground, and the matter was referred to
the judiciary committee. If the title !
approved by them the purchase will be
made at f 250.
Councilman Wilson introduced a res
olution that whereas from the report of
the gross income of The Dalles postoflice
it is evident we are entitled to free de
livery, the mayor and recorder be au
thorized to make application to the pos
tal department for the same. The reso
lution was adopted.
The applications of James Maloney.
James Hannon, James Like, Charles
Jones and G. A. Phirman for appoint
ment as night watchman were read, and
upon balloting James Like received five
votes, or a majority of the council. He
is therefore nightwatchman for the en
suing year.
Mayor Dufur then placed before the
council the names of John Michell for re
corder and C. V. Champlain for marsba',
and on vote for confirmation by the
council, two votes were cast in favor of
each and seven against.
The council then adjourned, and will
probably be called in special eeesion be
fore the next regular meeting.

Sunday afternoon 8. Kelley and fam
ily came in from the Seth Morgan place
Save for the absence of fire crackers
and lemonade stands, one might have
thought the Fourth was already here
and the D. P. & A. N. dock the scene of
a celebration this morning. A goodly
number had gathered to see the ex
cursionists set sail for Astoria, while as
many more were boarding the Dalles
City, which, with the Reliance, were
lined up awaiting their cargo. Had the
number of excursioniets not been a
sufficient load for the Dalles City, it was
the intention to let her carry the Re
liance passengers, or in case she was
overcrowded, the latter would come to
her assistance; but when all was told,
171 were found to be bound for Astoria,
and all was in shape.
As they started out, to the music of
theD. C. &A.C. band, the little Re
liance seemed to have a slight difficulty
In moving off, so that the Dalles City
was quite a ways ahead ; but soon show
ing that the meant business, the little
craft gained on her, and when thev
turned Crate's Point they were almost
abreast, although the larger boat still
took the lead.
It Is the liitention to reach Portland

the train for Astoria and reach there
about 10:30 tonight. Returning on the
5th, they will got into Portland iu time
to take the lioat that morning, arriving
here in the eveninit.
Thope of us who perforce must remain
behind wish them a glorious time.
While to a casual observer Dalles peo
ple do not seem to be In an overly pa
triotic mood this year, yet when we con
sider the number of miles many of them
are traveling for the privilege of pulling
the eagle's tail, one must neces
sarlly change his mind on the subject.
However, while the city will le almost
