The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
THE SENATOR MUST TRY AGAIN.
Whether the communication, in last
evening's TiiMt-Mountaineer, is intended
as s justification of Senator Hilton, or a
covert attack upon A. G. Johnson, and
Senator Watkinn' other "clerk of com
mittee" is hard to tell. It reminds
us a good deal of a ailor, manj years
ago, in Portland who hired a horse froni
. a livery man, and after he wan saddled,
jumped astride with his face to the tail.
The etable keeper remonstrated, but the
sailor only answered. "Young man you
don't know what direction I am going."
Mr. Johnson is abundantly able to take
.care of himself and we hope he may do
so, but the Ciihoxiclk has a few words
to say about the "other clerk.".
It is a little singular that, notwith
standing alt that we have written on the
record of Senator Hilton, during the last
. legislature, he should single out this one
solitary paragraph for attack. We sav
, "he" for the letter we are commenting
on was either written by the senator or
'. written at his dictation. Were all the
other charges some of them gravely im-
peaching his very manhood, true.and this
only false? It would, indeed seem so,
for the senator is not slow to appear in
print in his own defense, when he has
anything to defend. A few days ago, we
clipped from the columns of the Fossil
. Journa l and published in the Chhomclk,
a few lines reflecting on the Gilliam
county representatives for not making
an effort to have a bill passed to fix the
wages of the stock inspector, which the
people of that county considered to high.
We, of course supposed the charge was
true. In the next copy of the Journal
there was a letter by Senator Hilton ex
plaining that, a bill, introduced by him,
to effect the end desired by the people
of Gilliam, had actually passed both
houses and was now a. law.
Assuming the letter to be true, we
promptly made amends in the Chboni
clk of hist evening, in the following
words :
Senator Hilton has written to the Fos
sil Journal, in answer to charges made
in that paper that the representatives
from Gilliam county would find it hard
to explain their action in regard to a
bill for the regulation of the salary of
the Gilliam county stock inspector. "The
senator explains that he introduced a
bill, which has become a law, which
provides that the county court of Gil
liam county may regulate, the salary
themselves. "
This is our answer to the charges of
"complete unfairness in this, as well as
in other criticisms of our delegation."
We say now, once for all, that we never
-wrote a line concerning the record of our
representatives, that we did not then,
-and do not now believe to be true,
-and. when we discovered that the
-charges of the Fossil Journal were,
-without foundation we promptly pub
lished a correction. We go further:. if
3 any essential manner, we have said
xme word about the record of our repre
sentatives that is not as true as it is true
that the heavens are stretched above the
earth, the columns of the Chronicle
are at their service.and we are more than
ready to make reparation.' It is said,
"the editor of the Chronicle knows, or
should know, better than almost anyone
else, whether the bill was enrolled and
sent to the Governor." The editor of
the Chkoxiclk did not know, and it was
none of his business to. know anything
about any bill, except such as were plac
ed in his hand for enrollment ; and Sena
tor Hilton knows this as well as any one.
It was the business of the chief clerk
alone, and as many as from ten to twen
. .. ty sub-clerks were at one time or another
employed. , ;
The apologist of Senator Hilton really
must try again.
Its dollars . to -doughnuts, now that
California has a world's fair fund of
$300,000 at her' disposal, that we may
look to see her borrow, the. thunder of
Oregon's reputation for producing the
best deciduous fruits in the world, in
order to uphold her own declining rep
utation in that particular line. Ah well ;
we have no use for easily earned reputa
tion, and of our more enterprising neigh-
bora are inclined to fill up their exhibi
tion cars . with Oregon . fruits, labeled
"The Unparalleled products of the Gold-
. en State," let them do it. Let us en
courage enterprise in others, even though
we may not practice it ourselves. Dem
ocratic Times.
The foolkiller is guilty of an excess of
mercy in sparing the editors, preachers
and politicans. who are in the habit of
speaking of the president as the "ruler
of this great nation.". This nation is
not subject to the one-man power.
A warm place . has no fury like a
"prominent society woman" who is
snubbed-
RECIPROCITY.
" The reciprocity clause in the McKin
ly tariff act is undoubtedly popular
among the manufactures of the United
States. , It is expected to greatly in
crease our export" trade' with those na
tions which may embrace its provisions.
The late announcement of a reciprocity
agreement between this country and the
government of Brazil has thoroughly
roused the English manufactures, at
Manchester, who declare that the meas
ure will inevitably result in cutting off a
large part of their trade, unless they are
given similar advantages. Under the
reciprocity clause, the president is em
powered to decide whether the tariff laws
of any foreign nation are unfriendly or
the reverse. If he decides ' them to be
unfriendly, in that case, the law imposes
a duty on articles of commerce, which
may be on the general free list, when
thev come from a countrv whose tariff
- . t . i -
system is hostile to the introduction of
American products. In the case of
Brazil an agreement has been ' entered
of duty, or at modified rates, imports
from the United States of wheat, corn
and other grains, flour, meal, potatoes,
hay, salt, pork, hams, lard, coal, aggi
cultural implements, nearly all kinds of
machinery, leather, manufactures - of
cotton, manufactures of iron and steel,
wagons, carriages, and manufactures of
india-rubber. In exchange for these
advantages, granted by Brazil,' the
United States admits from that country,
free of import duty, sugars, molasses
coffee and hides." Hitherto this country
has been buying "nearly one .third of all
Brazil had to sell, "and nearly all her
coffee crop. Of the articles she .' now
proposes to admit, free of duty or at
modified rates, Brazil has been import
ing from all countries, on the average,
sixty million dollars worth yearly, while
of this sum the United States only
received an average of about six millions.
Of cotton goods alone, the Brazilian duty
which is reduced twenty five per cent
in favor of the United States, Brazil has
been buying from European manufac
turers twenty million dollars worth an
nually, while from this country she only
received half a million. The advantage
that this system gives to our manufac
turers is apparent, nnd unless Brazil
makes similar arrangements with ' other
nations the United states will have an
advantage over all European countries.
A Cat's Toes.
"How many toes has a cat?" This
was a question asked of a class in one of
the schools last week. It appears simple
enough, but difficulty was found answer
ing it. For a wh'le everyone in . the
school was stumped, when one of the
teachers, determined not to be beaten
by so simple a question, hit on, the. idea
of sending out a delegation of boys to
scour the neighborhood for a cat. When
this idea was announced the whole lass
wanted to join in the hunt. Several
boys went out and soon returned suc
cessful. ' A returning board was at once
appointed, and the toes countedwhen,
to the relief of all, it was found that, a
cat possesses eighteen toes, ten on the
front and eight on the hind feet. Agtor-
Thn Best Cough Medicine.
"One of my customers came in todav
and asked me for the best cough medi
cine I had," says Lew Young, a promi
nent druggist of Newman Grove, Neb.
"Of course I showed him Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and he did not ask to
see any other." I have never, yet sold a
medicine that would loosen and relieve
a severe cold so quickly as that does. I
have sold four dozen of. it within the
last sixty davs, and do not know of a
single case where it failed to. give the
most perfect satisfaction." 50 cent bot

Yop UremUir; Cinsa tsnds,
A trial was made of spreading nanure
upon the ground late in the fall, also of
leaving it in small heaps on - the land in
the fall and spreading it early in the
spring. , A third trial was made of haul
ing the manure, and spreading .the last
of April just before the. grass started.
Thp manure, was! spread as evenly as
possible and bush harrowed. The. befit
result was. front the land on which the
manure was spread the last of April.
The poorest result was from the manure
left in heaps over winter and spread in
the spring. . , '.
Not realizing satisfactory returns from
either of these experiments, a. portion of
my land was planted two years to fodder
corn. The spring following the same
quantity of manure as ufiedin top dress
ing was spread and plowed under and
the land laid down to grass. With the
grass seed, was sowu a sufficient quantity
of oats to smother -the ' weeds the first
season.' The result was. that. the crop of
oats and gras the lirstyearwas of more
value than the.best.crop of grass realized
from top ' dressing. It continued to be of
much better quality and quantity in the
four succeeding years.
Another ; experiment for producing
grass was made upon land broken up in
Augxi8t. The manure was spread upon
the sod, thoroughly harrowed under and
the land laid down to. grass. The result
of this experiment was fully as satisfac
tory in quantity and quality of grass as
from the land planted ' two years to fod
der corn and then laid down to grass.
These experiment!!, which have been con
ducted .through a series'. o ten years,
lead to the oonclnsipn t&at therajumuch
