The Dalles, March 7, 1891. ' Editor Chbonicle. Among the dis patches of the 6th is the following : f ';The rejection of the slavery resolution has earned 'a tremendous sensation" in Brus sels. King Leopold is greatly incensed." This will usually be passed unnoticed by "the reader and never' be apprehended as having any connection with an American and yet this matter exhibits us before all civilized- christian nations, in the most selfish and humiliating position possible to concieve of, . It exhibits us as having an utter lack of high moral pnrpose and philanthrophy. TheT findings of the Brussels convention, in " which America, as well as other civilized nations, took active part for the suppression of tlie slave trade and selling of liquors in Africa, has ' been rejected by our con gress on the grounds of "entangling alli aricesand interference with commerce." Examine this for a ..moment. AH other nations unite in active or moral support In these objects.5" Our alliance must, therefore, be with some semi-civilized, half naked tribes,' on the coast of Africa as against every christian nation, and for "what purpose so we can - sell liquor." ' "- - " Qlt 'has been broadly affirmed that every missionary ' sent there goes in a 'ship loaded to the hatches with New England rum. This great article of commerce, the support of which isolates us from the country of nations in promoting the wel fare and opening to commerce the new world of Africa. While other nations are spending-time, "money,-or at least active syhipatny in:" the elevation and regeneration-of these people, we conclude forthe sake of a few merchants and rum distilleis, to put the most serious obsta cles irr the' path and thai iri H,heirWouths which steals away'their brains, and also is the greatestXIatige "to explorers,' mis sionaries and merchants. The deplora ble TOffenngTnisenrand death it causes is famUiar to any reader of recent litera ture 6h African travel and explorations. Ours is the'only1 civilized, ria'tioii" which does not lend active , and moral support, and worse 'still,- iei risea J.eitheiv i?The blush of shame comes over us as we re flect how much the' American" Sentiment is misrepresented by the action of bur so-called representatives and' will yet 'add another count in the daily growing senti ment that "the day 'of retkorifeg is-.'fast approaching," in which these men who so'dare interpret the gre'af moral respon sibilities of the American people' will get kicked out and that, let us hope, for ever.

When the west bound ' passenger ar rived at The Dalles, between ten and eleven ' o'clock this forenoon,' Sheriff Cates had 'a hurried whisper with con ductor Coleman, who informed him' that his man was aboard. Curg immediately entered the "Samoa," : and arrested the colored porter", "sure enough, but con ductor Coleman insisted that the' sheriff had the wrong man,' but positively re fused to point out : the criminal. ' Curg says there were . 'forty niggers" aboard the train and unless he - arrested the whole outfit it was impossible for him-to find the guilty one,' :he was 'very reluc tantly obliged to' give up the job and let the man escape. Sheriff Cates feels very indignant at -the action -1 of conductor Cfeleman.'in'thus frustrating the' ends of justice and hopes, one ' day, to get his fingers officially of course) 1 in his auburn locks when there will be ah offi cial hair pulling matinee, 'sure, and we don't blame him a. bit.
