ECHOES, OF THE LEGISLATURE.
The people of The Dalles and of Wasco
xmnty have a right to know the legisla
tive record of the men whom they have
selected to represent them. This record
in a legitimate subject for journalistic
comment and criticism. The represent a
tives themselves are entitled to the full
benefit of the truth, the whole truth,
wnnoui malice ana without envy, if a
truthful picture is galling to the subject
the fault is his and not ours. If it hurts
the cause of mere partisanship it is no
concern of the managers of this journal.
Truth has claims above partisanship and
the party that cannot' stand the truth
has no right to existence, while the
journal or the man who fears to tell the
truth has no legitimate mission in a
world of lies and deception. With men's
motives, with the secret springs of
action and conduct we have nothing to
do. We are not their judges. Their
outward acts alone a re ours. These only
we have a right to judge and approve or
condemn. We have already repelled the
baseless insinuation, that Senator Wat
kins was a party to the defeat of the
Dalles portage railway bill, but we have
not told ull that might le told in this
connection. We were present when he
gave instruction to the clerk of the joint
committee, of which he was chairman,
as to the character of the report to be
submitted to the house. He was strictly
charged to report only on the "feasibility,
. practicability, possibility and proba
bility" of concurrent action of the two
states. Nothing was to be said touching
the difficulties or cost of a road on the
Oregon side; and the senator gave for
his reason "Lest they should say I had
. .lone anyjthing to defeatthe bill," and
nothing was said. We remember well
the earnestness of the senator as he gave
these instructions to his clerk. His
language might not be that of the Sun
day school, but it was none the less
vigorous and intense. , Suffice it that no
member of the Oregon senate served his
constituents more honestly, more intelli
gently or more faithfully than did Sena
. tor Watkins. His record needs neither
upology nor concealment.
It is well known that the Dalles City
council framed a new charter bill for the
city, and a bill to amend the water bill
that became a law two years ago. Of the
merits of these bills we do not now
speak. It is sufficient for our present
purpose to say that they were both care
fully submitted to the council, read sec-
nuu vy suction ana endorsed bv approval
without a dissenting vote. The Dalles
Hoard of trade unanimous! v memorial
ized the legislature on their behalf, and
the owners of all of three-fourths of all
the real estate of the city signed a peti
tion to the same effect. The charter bill
was entrusted to the care of Senator
watkins, who introduced it in the senate.
8tory w soon told. It's dead, dead
as Hector, dead in the full vigor of its
young lite, dead of no lingering sickness,
iut by the hand of the assassin. Senator
Jiiiton killed it 1 We saw him do it and
His be the glory or the shame. After in
traduction the bill was regularly referred
lne committee on cornorations
. Hilton fought it in committee, fought ii
bitterly and with all his might. He
knew better what was good for the peo
ple 01 ine lialies than they did them
selves. Certain features of the bill
wouia iorsooth, hurt the saloons. So he
said, as if the bill was framed to hurt
anybody. In spite of everything the
bill was reported back favorably. In
due time it came up for final passage
when Senator Hilton moved that it be
referred to a committee of Wasco
senators. Senator Watkins earnestly
protested, but in vain. The "skids
were greased" and the Joe Simon con
tingent helped Senator Hilton to lay it
in its little bed.
Thus did the joint senator from Gil
liam and Wasco, the man whose home
and estate is in Gilliam, the man who
does not pay a cent of taxes in The
Dalles nor in Wasco county, openly and
defiantly ignore and contemn the wishes
of the vast majority of the taxpayers of
a city who helped to elect him to office,
but will never, never, while the grass
nourishes on the hill -tops of Gilliam,
elect him again.
and as there is on earth ; and vet this
splendid country, with a population of
about 5,000,000, has fallen, financially,
into complete ruin, and. in its fall it
threatened to drag two hemispheres
along with it. ' Its paper money is
abundant to satiety. There's plenty of
it for everybody; but it is worth less
than forty cents on the dollar. Better a
thousand times, to have one good dollar
worth a hundred cents, in every corner
of this globe, and under every possible
circumstance, than to have three dollars,
current only within a circumscribed
sphere, subject to rises and falls, under
the manipulation of brokers and. money
sharks and at no time worth more than
from a dollar to a dollar and a quarter.
Alas ! like younger children men . often
cry for that, which, if they possessed it,
would be their ruin. We fear this is
true of inflation and free coinage, and
we perfer to rather bear the ills we have
than fly to others that we know not of.
SUNSHINE A HE A P.
The prospects for good and prosperous
times in the near future, for this city and
county, were never brighter than they
are at this moment. Sufficient rain and
snow have fallen on. unfrozen ground to
thoroughly saturate the soil and give
promise of abundant harvests. The
mild winter has proved favorable to the
stockmen and wool growers ai.d thereby
increased the profits of their coming crop.
The promise of freight competition
through the portage railroad will increase
the profits of the farmer and producer,
while an open river, with The Dalles as
the head of navigation and a great dis
tributing point, if not the new terminus
of a line of railroad to the coal fields of
Gilliam county, are bound to make this
city a profitable place for investment or
business. Wrhile The Dalles is neither a
boom town or a boomed town, we believe
a steady, solid, prosperous future awaits
it at no remote distance.
0006 AND ENDS.
AN EXAMPLE.
The Argentine Republic possesses all
th" conditions that ought to make it an
excellent example of the effect of an un
limited amount of paper money, based
upon anything less flexible than gold or
silver reserves. Its immense abundance
of green-backs, if you will, ought to
make a greenbacker green with envy.
It has a paper money circulation of over
42 per capita, and a paper money , too
based on land valuations, and on as fine
Falrneaa Hurt Xo One.
The Dallks, Feb. 25, 1891.
Editor Dais Chronicle.
Notwithstanding the danger of ' 'reflect
ing upon the press of the city we reaffirm
that the time to pass sentence is after
trial. The suggestions before made by
us relative to the recent railroad disaster
were to the effect that until it was ascer
tained that the accident was the result
of the negligence of the company, fair
ness required us to suspend judgment.
The company may or may not have been
grossly negligent and that accident may
be the result of such negligence ; but
from the most authentic accounts there
is certainly room for a reasonable doubt.
The severe criticisms referred to by us
may all be true but we submit they were
not fairly made. We believe it is the
privilege and duty of the press to criti
cise the management of railroads and
a,ll other institutions in which the public
are so deeply interested, bnt we think
such criticism like all other criticism
should be fair. The Union Pacific and
its predecessors have manv times ex-1
posed themselves to just criticism ; their
treatment of our city has many times
seemed unjust in the extreme: in the
matter of transportation rates it has
been, and is, excessively exacting simply
because it can be. On the other hand
have the people and press always been
as fair as thev could tie mnsiotontw?
Have we always manifested the same
fairness toward the management which
the city's interests demanded? Was it
wise to defy and ridicule the removal of
the car shops? The Chbo.nicle has
never been and never will be the defend
em oi me union racinc bnt will use its
privilege and fulfill its duty to condemn
the wrong every where. But fairness
hurts no one. Sugar is more pleasant
even to corporation managers than vine
gar and where vinegar is not required
and is certain to do harm use' a little
sugar ; it will not hurt if it does not heln.
If the company is careless or reckless the
Chronicle believes in saying so with
such force and in such a manner as will
tend to correct the evil, but will endeavor
to treat all, even the railroad company,
wiin rairness. x. X.

Koukey Hoaw In Oantal Park.
The monkey bouse in Central park is tbe
favorite resort of that half million of chil
dren who live in and around New York.
Here there are fifty monkeys. In one big
cage there are a doxen new monkeys not
yet thoroughly accostomed to civiliza
tion. Their cage has to be tidied,
and so when the keeper enters with
bis broom tbe whole lot of them
squeal and scamper off to the oppo
site side of tbe cage, and huddle there. I
am certain they are not really scared, but
only pretend. In this lot of monkeys, one
two foot monkey has became the dear
friend of a very small one, and so when
ever tbey scamper from one side of the
cage to tbe' other the big one acts as a
horse for tbe little one.
All the monkeys are on intimate terms
with Mr. Jacob, the keeper, and some are
never happy nnless they get into his arms
or can hang about his neck. As the keeper
has to use his broom vigorously in sweep

THE VINEYARD OF OREGON.
The country -near The Dalles produces splendid
crops of cereals, and its fruits cannot be excelled. It
is the vineyard of Oregon, its grapes equalling Cali
fornia's best, and its other fruits, apples, pears,
prunes, cherries etc., are unsurpassed.
ITS PRODUCTS.
The salmon fisheries are the finest on the Columbia,
yielding this year a revenue of $1,500,000 which can
and will be more than doubled in the near future.
The products of the beautiful Klickital valley find
market here, and the country south and east has this
year filled the warehouses, and all available storage
places to overflowing with their products.
ITS WEALTH
It is the richest city of its size on the coast, and its
money is scattered over and is being used to develop,
more farming country than is tributary to any other
city in Eastern Oregon.
119 Bfcua.uun is unsurpassed! Its climate delight-
ful! Its possibilities incalculable! Its resources!
limited! And on these corner stones she stands.
