Very mmy tilings inny be said against Governor IVnnoyer, but it must be admitted Mint lie is de termined in his own way lo sus tain t lie dignity of his office. If the office mide every incumbent feel as big as it does his excellency, there would be no further ques tion as to the ..competency ol the salary alt aching to the position. The interchange of telegrams be 'tween Secretary Gresham and governor, published last week, brings to mind I he position of the latter whan President Harrison visited this slate in 18'Jl. He re fused to meet I lie president at the state line, and expressed his no tioti of the relative position of governor and president in the fol lowing words: "President Harri son represents in his official ca pacity the official power and dig nity of the federal government. I, as governor of Oregon, repre sent the state of Oregon in the same way. We are equal. I have no business to go to pay homage to him. On the contrary, when he visits Oregon he should rather pay his respects to me as its official executive." So when President Cleveland expresses the hope, through his secretary, that the governor will prevent violence to the Chinese when the exclusion act takes ef fect, he replies: -I will attend to niv busin3ss. Let the president attend to his.. Almost all the papers throughout the east score the governor in unmeasured terms but out here where we have had a good many years' experience with the covernor. and would know what to expect from any interfer- ence wiui uie sacreu rignis oi ws excellency, we can not take the matter seriously to heart. The president perhap3 did not know that the Chinese and state rights were near to the governor's heart; and it may be that the president Iidirt know that Mr. rennoyer is not in love with him. Anyway, it is probable that the "state de parlment" will hereafter handle our governor wiih soft gloves. On the subject a Washington dis patch says: 'There is a disposition in all -Quarters to-dav to smile over the brusque message Governor Pen nover. of Oregon: dispatched to Secretary Gresham. "The ordinary individual in Washington is rather inclined to the belief that Governor Pen noyer's language may have been bluff, but that his idea3 in this re spect were just about right. The opinion here seem3 to be al most general that some one at this end of the line seriously blundered in permitting any such instructions, to hive baen sent from the state department to the governors of California, Oregon and other slates. No valid reason for the in structions can be discerned by those who know the situation. The stale department, it is thought, has no grounds for be lieving that the taw-abiding citi zens of these great common wealths were going to take the law into their own hands. The officials of these states, had there been an indication of any such action, would have been abso lutely able to cope with any di( ficully arising in their states. No authentic reports came to the proper sources here that there were likely to be any anti Chinese riots in any of the Pacific coast 3tates. or in any other section of the country. All rumors of im pending trouble were brought to the attention of the slate depart ment officials by attaches ot the Chinese legation, and it is pre sumed this was done either to create sypathy for the Chinese who refuse to comply with the law or to pave the way for securing indemnity from the government, if any Chinamen were killed." Ix July, 1885, Mr. Thomas F. Bayard was secret ary of state and M. Phelps was minister to England. Mr. Phelps wanted to be ambassa dor, but Mr. Bayard objected, and wrote these words: "The question of sending and receiving ambassa dors, under existing authorization of the constitution and the statutes, has on several occasions had more oc less formal consideration, but I cannot find that at any time the benefits attending a higher grade pf ceremonial treatment have been deemed' to. out weigh the incoven iences- whicli,.in.our simple social democracy,, might attend the re ception; in. tin's country of an es traordinarialy. privileged foreign elass." Nevertheless,! a 1893, not withstanding "our simple social democracy," Mr. Bayard . is to be found representing the United States as ambassador to England.. THE PRESIDENT RESPONSIBLE. The execution of the Geary law has been badly managed without doubt, and Governor Pennoyer re ferring to the failure of the Chi nese to register, says "the refusal is most undoubtedly the result of collusion between the president and the Chinese minister to disre raid the laws. If the president had insisted that, the law must be enforced there would hare been no lailiire to legister. "It is a most humiliating fact that citizens of Oregon first leard ed ol this unholy compact from : hieroglyphic proclamation of the Six Companies posted on the wall of Chinese washhouses in Astoria Cleveland has thus become respon sible for whatever trouble may arise. If lie had declared his pur pose to enforce the law there wouh have been complete registration 'The Chinese minister has ap parent l.y dictated the policy of (he administration, and he was proba bly not aware of the fact that state governors are not presidential sat raps. Articles of impeachment have been preferred against a pres ident for less offenses than Cleve land's refusal to strictly enforce the exclusion law." The proclamation referred to vas posted in Portland and Asto ria o;i t he 3rd inst., and was trans lated as follows: rrom the .ix Companies to our Chinese Brethren in Astoria: You are lorbiuuen to register witn ine white officials, or to have a lathing to do with them. Our iinpena government is watching this mat terand protecting our people. We have engaged Sir. lliordan, the San Francisco lawyer, and another in San Francisco, one in Washing ton, the United Stales capital, .and one in New York. May 5th four prominent Chinese brothers in New- York are to be arrested by the gov eminent for not registering, and their case will be tried by one of the high courts in the country May 12th. Our minister has asked the president of the United Stales not to arrest any other Chinamen in this country because they did not register until this case is tried The American president has gra ciously said: ''Let this be so.' You will, therefore, not register under the heaviest penalties if you disobey. A great deal of fuss is being made about the proposition to stock the Willamette river with black bass, one of the gamiest of hsh known to anglers. 1 hose who are howling against it may as well hush up and save their wind, lor the mischief, if mischief it is, is al ready done. In Ihe month of No vember last ihe United States Fish Commission dumped into the Wil lamette river near Salem 500 lively young ba., which in three or four years will begin to make their presence known. But in truth there is no danger for alarm, even granted that the black bass is a most voracious fish. The only fish in the Willamette are chubs, suck ers, carp and bull heads. Ihe last two named can burrow in the mud and take care of themselves, and even the Chinamen will gladly -ex change tho first two lor so tooth some a fish as the black bass There is no danger whatever to the trout. The bass never go up ihe cold mountain streams to the spawning ground ot the trout. opted I fie day when the bass are as plentiful in the Willamette and Columbia as are now the worth less fish. Portland Chronicle. The international monetary con ference, which adjourned to assem ble in Brussels on the 30th inst. will not reassemble on that date. The general feeling was expressed by representatives of the leading powers that the end of May is not a suitable time lor recommencing the labors of the conference and as a result a consult .tion was held between the president, Sec retary Gresham and some dele gates of the United States recent ly. It was determined to cable ihe announcement that the re- issembling of the conference would be postponed until some time next November. Governor McCreary, of Kentucky, who is in ihe city and who, as Well as Sena tor Jones, ot Nevada, will con--linue to serve upon the com mis-: sion, expresses much gratification at the change of date and believes it will increase the prospect of the conference accomplishing some solid results. The United States is very ably represented before the Paris court of arbitration, and Mr. Carter made a profound impression. He is now being followed by Hon. F. 11. Cou- dert. This country has merits of the controversy over the seal ques tion on its side, and the counsel employed will not miss a single opportunity to present this in the most favorable light. Great Brit ain, of course, will make a show ing in the case; but her only inter est in the matter is that which per tains to Canada. This industry should be protected, not only as a matter of commercial justice, but for the proper regard for the life of these animals. AN OPEN RIVER. The importance of freeing the Willamette from all obstruction is not generally appreciated by our citizens. With the increased manufacturing that is being done here more attention should be given to the condition of thn waterway both above and below the city. The Telegram notes the necessity lor improving and says: "The upper Willamette is not in the condition that the section of country through which it flows demands. There is enough wa ter in the river at the ordinary gauge to permit of much traffic upon it if the channel was only kept clear of obstructions. It is not so much the lack of a regula tion depth of water as the occa sional forming of sandbars and the lodging of snags here and there. Water transportation is so much cheaper than rail, and ship ments in bulk can be made so much more easily in the bottom of a boat than in a freight car, that the former method should be as unrestricted as possible for the good of the Willamette val lev farmers. Portland has a good reason for taking especial interest in this necessity. All (his valley country is so tributary to it that any improvement which facili tates trade relations is quickly felt both here and in the country. If the government appropriations are insufficient, the expense that Ihe shipping interests might them selves incur lo clear the channe and keep it clear would be more than repaid by increased traffic, growth of the upper-river towns, development of Ihe farming sec tions and accompanying advant age to merchants here!" HARRIS I'XECUTED. Carlyle W. Harris, the murderer of Helen Potts, to whom he had been secretly married, was electro cut n ted at Sing Sing, N. Y., May 8. Harris was a young physician and won the love of Miss Potts when she was 17 years of age. He in duced her to consent to a secret marriage. The following August, 1890, she became very ill. and her mother discovered her secret. Helen had been sent to her un cle, Dr. Treverton, of Scranton, and to him she told her pitiable story of damnable wrong and cowardly crime on the part ot him who had promised to love and safeguard her till death. Instead of informing her husband oMTieir daughter's true condition, Mrs. Potts listened to Harris' sugges tion that after Helen had again attended school, so as to polish the roughness in her character, he and Helen should be openly married. Helen recovered and attended the school suggested by Harris. When all danger was ap parent' over, the seducer won tonly went back on his word. He promised that the engagement should be announced at the holi days, but when the time came he refused. He wrote to Mrs. Potts, as she testified, that all ques tions of marriage must be defer red for two years longer. The mother, however, would" not give up Ihe light. She- again wrote Harris, and finally prevailed upon him to agree that the religious ceremony should take place Feb ruary 8, 1891. Before the expi ration ot this time, however, liar lis contrived to poison his wile and accounts of his trials have been before the public continual ly. There has been no sadder story tola for years than that-of the ill-starred Jove and sorrowful death of Helen Neilson Potts, nor a greater illustration ot the base less of nfan than that of Carlyle XV. Harris. A RIFT-RAFT FLOOD. rr i rn i . . ine leiegram gives its opinion on the subject of immigration, in the following well-written article Ihe floodgates ot immigration are open, len thousand Italians lave just departed from Marseilles on eleven steamships, all of whom will have reached New York in a few days. This is only one lot, now many more mere are no one T T M 1 on this side of the Atlantic seems to know.

Careful investigation shows that they are not a desira ble class. Some few hundred in each 10,000 are worthy; the re mainder foreign powers are glad to send to our shores. After May 8th there is some hope. All im migrants leaving European or other ports on and after that date will be subjected to the new set of questions asked by the new board of inspectors. - As these may be more stringent than a good per cent of these steerage riff-raff can satisfactorily answer, the steam ship companies are crowding their quarters with anxious rabbles, and packing them over here like so much" rough and-tumble freight. Probably not less than 75,000 im migrants will land in United States ports during the two or.-, three weeks previous to May 8th.

It will be opened without formal action or formal an nouncement. It has been tire rule to hae them open Sunday, and chief Tucker, of the bureau ol ad missions, receiving no orders to the contrary will continue the cus tom. He has made arrangements accordingly, ordering all ticket takers and guards on duty. La ter news is to the effect that the grounds were closed on last Sun day. Congressman Outhwaite, of Ohio, is the latest to verify the re port that congress will convene in extra session in September next. Outhwaite does not lake any slock in the statement that immediately after the appointment of the house committee a recess will be taken until the first of December. . "It is my opinion," said the Buckeye statesman, "that congress will be in continuous session, barring the usual Christmas holidays, from September until the following June." A Vienna dispatch of .May 4th says the town of Ivowal, Poland, eighty miles south of Warsaw, population 3,500, was swept, by a conflagration.. One hundred and sixteen houses, including the hos pital and asylum, were destroyed. Three hundred families are home less and destitute. Eighty people perished in the flames. BAD ECZEMA ON BABY Head one Solid Sore. Itching Awful. Had to Tie His Hands to Cradle, Cured by Cuticura. Our little boy broke out on his head with a bad form of eczema, wIiod lie was four months old. AVs tried three doctors, but they did not help him.

SURROUNDED BY MYSTERY! A Great Mistake. A recent discovery Is that headache, dizziness, dullness, confusion of the mind, etc.. are due to derangement of tho nerve centers which supply the brain with nerve force: that indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia, wind in stomach, etc., arise from the derange ment of the nerve centers supplying these or gans with nerve fluid or force. This Is likewise true of many diseases of the heart and lungs. The nerve system is like a telezraDh system. as will do seen by the accompanying white lines are the nerves which convey the nerve foive from the norve centers to every part of the :ody, just as the alectrlc current id conveyed along h e telegraph wires to e v e r y station, laree or small.
