Troy Shelley Corouer William Michell The Chronicle is . the Only Paper in The Dalles that Receives the Associated Press Dispatches. HOSPITA LS VERS US.. PENITEN TIARIES. The East Oregonian seems to think that all crimes are but the evidence of a dis eased state of mind and that criminals, instead of being confined in the peni tentiary should be sent to some kind of an hospital. That paper seems to think that it is very bad to take a cold blooded murderer and hang him. The poor dear jnau should bo taught "economy and thics"' as a means of reformation and hen graduated turned loose again. The paper of course rejoices that Sandy Olds got off so cheap, and must have a high conception of the ethical and economic erudition of the Hillsboro jury, whose only qualification for the office of jurors, as it seems to one untrained, we suppose both in ethics and economics, was a fftolid, stupid ignorance of passing events, mh dense as that of an inhabitant of an African jungle. The man capable of thinking that crime is always evidence of disease and that it should be treated remedial y rnd never punitively well, we suppose the Almighty made him for tiome purpose but to use an Irish bull, if we were hanged we couldn't see what that purpose is. MORE VETOES. Governor Langton ' of ' Washington seems to have vetoed about every bill passed by thelast legislative assembly, whose object was to give the people any relief from the railroads." He 'has also vetoed what was known as the anti Pinkerton bill, which provides that no person, corporation or association or their agents should organize, maintain or employ an armed body of men' in the state for any purpose whatever, under a penalty of from $1000 to $5000, and a like sum for each day they should con tinue to offend. This latter measure is one being demanded by lalxjr ' associa tions throughout the whole United States and is perfectly just and fair; and should bar been approved. It is to "be hoped that the farmers and laboring classes will take care of Governor Laughtotv if be ever asks anything at their hands again. A YEAR'S FOREIGN TRADE. From a valuable article in the March number of the Youth's Companion we extract the following : The exchange of products between this wountry and lands beyond the sea in creases steadily. The returns showing the extent of the foreign trade for the calendar year 1890 have recently been issued, lhey show that goods were im ported to the value of eight hundred and twenty-three million dollars ; the value of domestic goods exported was eight hundred and forty-six millions. Of tho importations of the vear 1890 rather more than onerthird .of the value consisted of goods free of uuty. The v value of free goods was two hundred and eighty-eight millions ; of those subject to duty five hundred and thirty-five million. The largest single item ot importation was coffee, of which more than eighty four million dollars' worth was received during the year. This, however, was but one million dollars more than the value of sugar and molasses, which has heretofore always held the first place On the list. The value of texile goods imported is also very large, in spite of the efforts made to secure the market of these goods to domestic manufacturers. ' Woollens and worsted goods imported were worth fifty-four millions; siik forty-one mil lions ; cotton thirty-three millions ; linen, hemp and jute twenty-seven millions. ' Other important items of importation are chemicals and drugs forty-six millions, and iron and its manufactures forty-four millions. The articles we have mentioned represent quite one-balf of. the total value of imports. There are no other articles of nearly so much im portance as any one of these. ' , On the export side the trade is even more closely confined,- in its large items, to a few articles. ' Not less, than two hundred and fifty-four millions of dollars was the value of cotton exported, and tins alone stands for thirty per cent, of the total. - .i . v . : Provisions is second on the list, one hundred and forfy-tbree millions ; bread- stuffs third, one hundred and forty-two millions; and petroleum, crude and re fined, fifty-one millions, is next. There is no other class of goods which repre sents as much as forty millions. - But the merchandise enumerated 'includes nearly three-fourths of the : value of American exports. i ..i '..'.:-. Where do we buy, and where do we sell? The returns f trade by countries are not complete, but the character of the foreign commerce does not "Change much from year to year. -' ;:- ---.' - . By far the greatest amount of trade is with Great Britain. .. One-fourth of all " the imports are from that country, and one-half the exports are sent there; Germany is second and France third, counting the trade both ways ; but the imports from the West Indies are greater than those from France. There are three things which public men are now trying to effect, in connec tion with the foreign trade, namely, to increase the amount of exports of manu factures, to augment the trade with Central and South America, and to restore a part of the carrying trade to American ships. -.- - During the year 1890 less than one-seventh of the imports and less then one-tenth of the exports were carried in American vessels FKDEBAL MONK Y FOK OREGON. Senator Frye Thinks This State Beats All for Getting Appropriations. Washington, March 24. Senator Mitchell sat in the same restaurant a few days ago with a party of friends, when Senator Frye, chairman of the senate committee on commerce, entered and sat down. After the senators bad ex changed greetings, Mr. Frye asked Mr. Mitchell when he was going home. -"In a month or two," remarked Mr. Mitchell. I have some cases in the supreme court, and am at work prepar ing briefs." ' "When is Dolph going' home?" asked Mr. Frye. "T-"Oh, he will be here for some time yet, responded Mr. Mitchell. '"Well, the treasury of the United States will not be entirely safe until the Oregon men have gone home," remarked Mr. If rye. "lhat state has away of get ting money in appropriations which beats anything I ever saw." "We ' nave been rather successful at this session," replied Senator Mitchell, and, turning to his friends, said : "I am afraid they are laying this up against us, and in future congresses we may be met with the assertion that we have been well treated in the past, and must not expect so much in the future. ' However, we will try and keep the things going that are under way, and get as much more as we can." It is a fact that the success of Oregon in the matter of appropriations during the present congress has caused a great deal of talk at the capital. Rev. Willard Scott, of Omaha, thus sums up the outcome of the work of the majority of the late Nebraska legistature : A residence of sixty days at the capital has wrought a transformation which was not expected by the alliance men them selves nor by others, and the prompt withdrawal by investment companies of all money offered for loans has made the transformation permanent. . The legis lators do not now think as they, did in November when they were elected, es pecially those who have come from the outlying districts. The atmosphere of a city of 65,000 people, with four universi ties and scores of professors and profes sional men, has been wholesome and corrective. . Many of these teachers are students of social and political science, and have developed the thoughts of the city and neigh boi hood to their was of thinking. A dozen other special schools in this section of the state have done the same'. Entering upon this atmosphere, the alliance men have first begun to doubt their own ideas, and then to change them, and before the local strifes oVer state officers was settled sufficiently, to enable them to come to the considera tion of new .laws, they were unwilling to carry out the plans they had come to the city to make. Visitors sitting in the gallery could see a change from week to week, and the men themselves felt it. The legislature- has ceased to be a radical body. -,i - ,:; Is Disease a Punishment? The following advertisement, published by a prominent western patent medicine house would indicate that they regard disease as a punishment for sin : "Do you wish to know the quickest way to cure a sever cold? We will tell you. To cure a cold qickly, it must be treated before the cold has become set tled in the system. This can always be done if you choose to, as nature in her kindness to man gives timely 'warning and .plainly tells you in nature's way, that as a punishment for some indiscre tion, you are to be afflicted with a cold unless you choose to ward it off by prompt action. . The first symptoms of a cold, in most cases, is a dry, loud cough and sneezing. The cough is" soon followed by a profuse watery expectoration and the sneezing by a prosuse watery dis charge from the nose. , In - severe cases there is a thin white coating on the tongue. What to do? It is only necessary to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in double doses every hour. That will greatly lessen the severity of the cold and in most cases will effectually counteract it, and cure what would have been a severe cold within one or two- days time. Try it and be convinced.'' Fifty cent bottles for sale by Snipes & Kinerstey, druggists. The Cincinati Timet-Star teils a story of a wealthy westerner whose wife died a few days ago.

One of the more prominent of the younger men of the Philadelphia bar had been talking about the various methods pursued by young men to save money. "I chanced npon an odd case of saving the other day," he continued, "and the general uniqueness of it warrants my telling it to you. . - "I was spending Sunday at the home of a young friend of mine, a law student. I noticed jn his room a child's saving, bank, and upon picking it up the merry jingle from within -told me that bank had not re cently suffered a 'run.' Knowing that the father of my friend was a mam of means I could not .conceive what, tbe young man wanted to save small coins for. so I asked hfm."' And here ts the answer he gave me: 'Well, you see, father allows me $25 a week pocket money and gives it to me e cry Sun day. -.. Frequently when Tuesday morning came I was "broke." The rigidity of fa ther's rules kept me in this undone state for the remainder of the week, for not an other cent, could I.. get till the following Sunday.- .H . ?...?: -; !

If I return home at night penniless, all right, for I have, enough -money for the next day, and the next, and for every day till tbe following Sunday. But if I don't spend all that $3.57 my iron rule is to place the balance in the bank,. Some days that bank gets $3 and some days it doesn't get a cent. Then at the end of the month I open it-and have cash galore. Ijtat year that bank averaged $48 per month. I am never "broke" nowadays.' "Philadelphia Press.
