The State Journal is exultant over the
feet thai the Conference Committee re
fused to sustain the eotion of the
Senate in increasing the appropriations
fur Oregon, and facetiously asks;
"Does an appropriation in the river
and harbor bill, when it is in ths shape
fan amendment backed up by two
able Democratic Senators, appropriate?'
The organs of Hen, M. C. George hare
been apologising for his failure to e
oere adequate appropriations for
Oregon, on the ground that it was an
vtter impossibility for him to have a
larger amount inserted in the approp
nation bill than was recommended bv
the Beard of Kngineers. Mr. George's
position on the committee that report
ed the appropriation bill, made it pos
sible for him to get larger appropria
tions for improvements in this State,
had he so desired, put influences were
brought te bear that made him a little
lukewarm both in committee and on
t he floor of the house.
The "two able Senators" refet red to
by the Journal proved that it was os
sibis by dint of exertion to get lsrger
amounts inserted in the appropriation
bill than were recommended by the
Board of Engineers, and increased the
appropriations for this State upwards
of $100,000 when the bill was being
liderod by the Senate. Had the
of our able Democratic Senators
been seconded by Mr. George, there is
no question but that the appropriation
i t i ii
wouio nave remained as iney were in
creased in the Senate. Tbe Journal
mast remember that both the house
and Senste are Republican, and that
Mr. Oeorge is in better position to do
effective work than Graver and Slater,
yet he has failed to do as well.
The Democratic press and a good
portion of the Republican press con
gratulated our Senators on tbe result
of their united action. They are in no
wise In be reproached for the action of
the conference com caitiee in refusing to
sustain them. The Democratic paper?
have no correction to make, notwith-
the fact that the Journal de-
i it, but rather let the Republican
r why Mr. George did not do
better and increase the appropriation8
in the house, then the conference com
mittee would have sustained both
branches of congress, and could not
have pointed to the bill as it passed
the house as a guide for their action.
In answer to the Journal we will say,
thus "an appropriation in the river and
harbor bill when it is in tbe shape of an
amendment backed up by two able
Democrat tic Senators' in a Rspubiican
Senate, will appropriate provided, first;
thai their efforts are seconded "by
one Republican in the hauW controll
ed by a Republican majority; second, I
that the bill after it has passed is not
vetoed by a Republican president

TETOLU
President Arthur has sent his rues
sago to the house vetoing tbe river
and harbor appropriation bill. As
yot tbe text of the message has not
reached as. Perhaps be will defend
his action by calling the measuro un
constitutional; that Is the usual ate
feneejjof shysters and poltroons. The
Cast is, he fears the nressofa few of
the Eastern cities. No wonder the
reading of his message excited mirth
in tbe house when that portion ef it
was reached which said: "Thus as
a bill becomes more objectionable it
secures mere support."
Arthur is a good judge of such mat
ters. His powers of discrimination
between right and wrong are very
fine He has been kicked out of a
New York custom house for objec
tionable (not to say questionable JJ con
duct by a Republican president, and
when a measure comes to him with
the sanction of the majority of both
branches of Congress, he ought to bo
a competent judge as to whether
neb a measure is objectionable. This
bill had much in It to develope the
West, and the eyes of the western
people have been watching it with
intense Interest They are doomed
to see It die at tbe hands of the great
Accident. When this accidental
vetoist offers himself for a second term
perhaps the west will not remember
the Chinese bill and this appropria
tion bill. He will find out that as ho
becomes more objections! he will not
secure more support, and the people
along th western slope wld let him
down as easy as he dees the appro
priaiion bill

er. WAR IN XfcTPT Xn ITS ORIUIX.
MBI pa - ..nfc. :
Many eausei have been at work for
some years pass cumulated to culminate
in a conflict of arms between Kgfpt and
England. During the early part Of 1881
great discontent in the ranks of the
Egyptian army began to mike itself
manifest, because of an attempted re
form in the army system sought to be
brought about by the Khedive and his
Minister of war. Beinga Circassian,
this Minister gave preference to men of
his own kith and kin, and to the Turks,
over the Arabs, and removed many of
the latter from coinmand. notwithstand
ing the f ict that thoy were largely in
majority. This action aroinvd a spirit
of indignation in army circles. The
native soldiery at Cairo mutinied and
in February, 1881, sent a deputation of
three Colonels (Arahi Pasha being one
of the number) to wait upon the Khe
dive and to protest against the proposed
reform and demand the removal o( the
Minister of War. These messengers
wero at once arrested, but released by
the guard, who drove away the obnoxious
Minister and niado such threatening
kI .a.i e a
demonstrations mat tne Kiieuive was
forced to submit end appoint a now
Minister of War. Arabi, who then had
almost exclusive control of the armv,
set himself to work to better its condi
tion. and when in September of the same
year he was ordered to remove from
Cairo to Alexandria, he was strong
enough to march to the palace of the
Khedive and demand the Jisuiiriattl of
the Ministry and other important
changes, threatening that unless hi de
mands were complied with ho would re
move the Khedive himself. The Khe
dive yielded, appointed a now Ministry
with Cherif Pitsba i who was most dis
tasteful to the foreign bondholders; a1
its head, named Arabi Pntha as Minis
ter of War, and Glitd the other offices
with men of Arabia own selection, and
the party thus formed whs sUled the
national party. Upon the accession of
this new Ministry to power, says an ex
change, "a reform in the general gov
ernment was effected, the most notable
feature-being the formation of an As
aembly of Notables, compose I of leal
ing men of the various provinces. Tbi a
body was convened on the I'tith of
December, 1881, and pro'Mieod to estab
lish the principles of ministerial
response Uility, to allow no legislation or
taxation without its consent (while con
firming the inviolabiittv of Egypt's fi
nancial and international engagements),
and to form a Council of State to pre
pare new laws and settle all claims.
England and France had been w itching
t'ae prog re s of e vet's with anxiety be
cause of the largo interests which their
subjects had as hal lera of Egyptian
bond, and on the S'.h of January last
they united in a joint note to the Khe
dive informing him that the two Gov
ernments "consider the maintenance of
His Highness on the throne under the
conditions sanctioned by sucesstvo fir-
mans of tha Prte, and which they have
officially accepted, as being at present
and in the future the only postiMe main
tenance of order and the development
of the genera! prosperity of the c mn4ry
This, however, had no effect on the
Notable, and on 2d of Febiuary Cherif
Pasha resigned, deeftniog to sign the
draft of the organic law prt j arc 1 by
the Notables. Under the pressure of
Arabi and the military, the Cbumhcr
indicated Mahraoul Barouni to the
Kbedie as the n-w President .f the
Council.
The next important event and the
one which ultimately produced the
present cris:, was the discovery about
three months ago of pretended conspir
acy among tbe Circanian ofllcrs in the
army .against Arabi. They were charg
ed with conspiring to take his life, and
weie tried beset a eoivs SSaitial oi his
Mentis who sentenced Otfman !lxki
and forty others to be degradf I and
Bent to tho extreme Soudan region,
where the climate is so unhealthy that
few exiles ever return. A similar sen
tence was pronounced against Ratio
Pasha, who had followed the ex-Khedive
to Europe, while Ismail Pasha was
branded as the instigator of the plot
against Arabi, and the Government was
'instructed to cease jasv ing bis civil liat.
The Khedive, acting by order of the
Sul'en, refused his sanction to the 'sen
tence, and ornmiil the punishment
to a mere exile out r.f Egypt. Arabi
and his party protested against this acti
and a nronuuciaraeut'i was iaod in
Cairo. The Khedhe was informed bv
Arabi, on the tenth of Aly, that he
would be deposed it he persisted in re
fusing his sanction, in epos quence of
these threats and the danger to public
order, the Consuls general of England
and France telegraphed to their Gov
ernments for ships of war to sustain the
authority of the Khedive. Meanwhile
Arabi hand decided to convoke the Cham
ber of Notables and ddpesethe Khedive,
but they refused to assemble utiles con
voked by the Khedivejbimself. English
and French ironclads soon ai rived in
the waters of Alexandria, and tho Con
suls general, believing themselves sufflc
eutly supported, presented an ultimat
um to the Khedivo, demanding Arabi's
deposition as Minister of War and his
exile of one year from Ejypt; the other
eolobifs to go in Oarruon in Upper
Egypt; After some demur Arabi
resigned "and a new ministry was form
ed wiih Cherif Pasha at the head, but
tho very next day the army foi cod the
Kbedive to reinstate Arabi as Minister
of War and virtual head of the. Gotein
ment. ' .
England and France now sought to
.have the Porte restore order, and a
Turkish Commissioner, Dervisoh Pasha,
was sent to Alexandria earlv in dune,
but he did not succeed in accomplishing
anything. Within three days of his
arirval, Juno 11th a terrible riot occur
red in Alexandria, with the apparent
connivance of the military, in which
scores of Europeans weru massacred.
Since then a state of anarchy has pre
vailed. The Khedive has wielded prso
tically no authority, while Arabi grow-
daily more iusolcnt and dictatorial. The
great Kwors of Euroje finally convened
a conference at Constantinople with
view, if possible, of securing a satisfac
tory settlement, but the meeting was
delayod by fut;le attempts to tecure the
cb-operation of the Porte, and after it
was decided to procoi'd without a rep
resentative of Turkey, little wna accora
piiahed. Meanwhilo Aiabi had taken
fresh courage from the delsy and hesi
tatiou of the Europeans, lie proceeded
to strengthen the fortifications of Alex-
e . a
amuis, and continued this work even
after ho had been warned that the Hrit
ish fleet would open fire unless he stop
pod." The British fl?et, constating of
eight ironclads, was stationed in the
western of tho two harbors of Alexsn
driu, from which position they com
monced tho bombardment of that air
ciont city on the 1 1th ult. Tl.o desrtuc
tion which was begun by Bntitdi guns
was complete I. by the rabble as they
fled, and Alexandria was enveloped in
flames before a landing Was effected by
the English troops. Arabi on two
separate occasions during the ige
availed himself of tho tUg uf truce for
the purKs of gaining time, and it was
undercover of that tl tg that he and his
followers wero able to conceal their re
treat from tho city. Arabi with his
followers have retreated into the
interior and it is said that his availibte
military power will number lo0,00
men. What will be the result of this
struggle canuot be foceeseo, but the
indications are at pretunt, tint Eypt
will in tho near f.ilura Is added to the
long list of British dependences.

'It's an ill wind that bluws nobody

first results of the Anglo- Egyptian war,
is tbe closing of the Suez. Canal, the

some time past to encourage tho drvel

have been projected, and tho facilities
for transportation of bread -stuff foster

of tbe last year Ins shown that England
is reaping the fruit of the jwliey thu

grain shipments from India to England

former years, was leading the English
to hope that the d-pendence uon

THE FATE OF KOlM.
The victory which President Gar-
fieid achieved, In the beginning of his
brief administration, over lloscoe
Conkling, marked an era in the his.
tory . of bossism. By gaining a sip-,
nal triumph ever ttie recognized
central figure of the whole system, a
blow was aimed at the very citadel of
bossism that is now threatening its
overthrow. Bossism is on the decline,
and those, who by fraud, treachery,
and eorruption, have guided the
destinies of States for many yoars
past, are beginning to realize that the
day oT Reckoning it near at hand.
Conkling's overthrow waa complete.
In his desire to rale or ruin he has
struck a eath blow to his own high
aspirations, and has undermined the
vcnal( system that has buoyod htm up
snd placed him In position to control
the official patronage of New York

Pennsylvania has been tulod with
an Iron hand by Boss Cameron and
his clan for a long tlmo by tho uso cf
money and the abuse of power. By
throats of war on tho tarlffjhe has
secured tho assistance of the sclftVh,

methods of bossism, but, from policy
and self Interest, have heretofore
calmly submitted to dictation. By

By the use of monoy nnd force, he

THS. WHEAT Mil ITlov
The center n farmer, while supply
ing the current wants of r0,000,000
people, has to meet tbe equally urgent
requirements of about half that number
of Europeans, and the only question
with him is whother he can fully meet
this demand tion bis resources in a
season when his wheat crop is not a
particularly large one, and when his
corn crop falls "ery much below an
average. In tho same way the Pacific
coait farmer during the present cereal
year will have sooner or later to supply
every inward bouud vessel with her
outward cariz . and as the d -rt this
sw
year promises to be a larger oio, and
a little prompter than uanal, tbore is a
little fuar that his crap will become a
dtug tton his handrt, as during the
last two seasons. For tho first tijae in
a long number of years both the Cali
fornia and Oregon farmer may exjiect
an open freight matket throughout the
whole of tbe present season, and the
result is already seen in a relatively
larger supply ef tonnage and a better
demand and higher price for wheat.
Freights and wbett will now be gov
erned by the law ef supply and demand
and as speculators will bo unable to
make a handsome profit on cargoes
while selling thorn at large discount on
their nominal cost. California wheat
will no longer act as a dead weight on
tho markets of the world. Shipping
coals to Newcastle, or, what is about
tbe same thing, shipping wheat to
the eastern states and Australia must
consequently cease. It may be differ
ent with regard te superior qualities of
flour, which are relatively cheaper here
than in the east, but net unless tbe
railroad reaches its absurd discrimina
tion against the manufactured article.
The key to the wheat situation this
season is the small crop expected in
England. To offset this there should
be better reports from the continent
and from India, but it is now certain
that the crops in both places have been
exaggerated and that they are smaller
on the whole than in 1881. India
especiaHy is not likely to be near so
much of a bugbear as she was last sea
sin, even if the closing of the Suez ca
nal should prove to be only temporary.
If closed for any long period the conse
quent scarcity and advance in freights
would naturally cause a great reduction
in the shipments of wheat, or possibly
shut them off altogether unless in the
event of high prices in England. As
or Australia no shipment of any im
portance can be expected from that
quarter till she reaps her harvest in De
camber ties'. Of late the colonies
hare been imp... tit g wheat from this
coast, and, with a proper eya to busi
ness, confining their own exports al
most exclusively to flour. Tho coarse
ef the who; m trkot in California snd
in Oregon must depond very much on
the extent of the crop, of which far
mers just now are likely to be the beat
judges. The Oregon crop, of which so
much was hoped, is now acknowledged
to be a small one, (not so small as the
reports of two or three weeks ago on
which this statement was based appear
ed to show Ed. Ortyonum. while the
California crop, although greater defi
cient, is evident!; turning out much
better than was expected. Oregon's
latest estimate ef her surplus is 4,600,
000 centals, and if California can ship
10,400,000 centals she will probably
do well. This would give a combined
total of 20,000,000 centals, r one third
less than the surdus ! last tea
ton, which wan augmented by a large
oarr) over from the bonanza crop of
IboU But from all indications this
is to be the farmer 'a teal bauuua sea

Mr. J. D. Wlrtsbough recently
from tbe east has Iocs tod In the prac
tice ef Isw In Lebanon. He is a
young man ef good ability and will
gat a full share of the legal business
in this part of te county.
Ooblast Sabbath as Sylvester Bur
rell and two other boys were return
ing from Bedavllle campmeeting
they concluded they would have a
little fun by running their horses.
The horses were scarcely under way
when young BurreU's horse became
unmanageable snd threw him,
on the head and snooiciers. At last
accounts he was still uncontcious and
some fan are entertslned of his re
covery.
The crowd that started last Satur
day for the mountains was the
largest that has ever gone at any one
time. It reminded ono of an army
quarter-roasters train when under
wsy. It was rather amusing to see
tbe hurry and confusion, though
meat of them bed been preparing for
n week or more. When ail was
ready once, tha command given to
farewell move, two span of bones re
fused to go and a wagon broke down.
After a good deal of coaxing and
some gentle whipping tbe horses
started and when the wagon was
repaired the happy crowd disap
peared to be gone for some three
weeks. J. L. Cowan was he cap
tain and led the advance. J. L. Gil
bert bred? at up the rear. Mat Red
path aod Elmer Montague acted as
guards, while Dr. Ballard as surgeon
general kept within reach so as to be
on hand In case of an ao idenf.
Justice Crusan will be called on
this week te try his first Iswsuit.
Two of tbe citizens are of the opinion
that a two year old heifer belongs to
eaeb of them aod being unable te
come te a satisfactory arrangement
nave decided to have tbe question
set lied by law. Mr. Wirtseeugb our
new lawyer appears for the plaintiff
and F. M. Miller for tho defendant
Hew it will turn out Is tbe general
query of all.
Joseph fTsssom baa again been
employed by J. L. Cowan as clerk in
his store. There are hot few better
and more reliable clerks than Joe
nnd Mr Cowan was fortunate In se
eming him again.
Tha Warehouse Comoany has let
out already several thousand sacks.
From present appearances the bouse
will be mare than trued.
. W. Wheeler and sens are en
gaged In building a saw mill j ist
above the Lebeoon Flouring Mill on
the ditch. They hope to have It
ready this fall for work. It is a
much needed enterprise and will un
doubtedly proven financial success.
Moat of the threshing machines
will be running the last ef this week.
Some few have threshed, the yield
is better thsn expected and the grain
4s large and plump.
