THE BAD HEART. The Oregonian says : "The Dalles .Chkoniclk must have a bad heart. It c-an only see wickedness in everything. It abuses all government officials and railroad corporations, esjiecially the Union Pacific," and then the Oregonian quotes a few lines from the Oheonicle in which this journal intimated that the old O. S. & N. Co. were accessory to the wreck of the Great Republic that was lost on a sand bar near the mouth of the Columbia, about twelve . or thirteen years ago. If the writer of the para graph in the Oregonian is old enough to remember it, lie will remember that the pilot of the Great Republic was . accused of criminal connivance at the wreck of his vessel and that the courts so far held hi in guilty that he was suspended for a year. No one thought for a moment that the pilot wrecked the vessel of his 'own accord. There was no conceivable reason for his doing so. Everything' in . dicated that he was hired to do it by the O. S; & N. Co., and that the company and its successors have reaped the bene fit of it ever since. If it is an evidence of .a bad heart to believe thus then the Oregonian had a touch of the same disease when it reported simple acts at the time of their occurrence, and it criminally transmitted the disease to the writer from which alone he learned Jthe facts of the wreck and the judgment of the court on the pilot. If it be. a proof of a bad heart to charge the government officials at the Cascades with criminal delay in opening up the Columbia river then the Oregon ' ian should know that the people this side of tne mountains have the disease in the form of an epidemic. A gentle man second to none in this community in cool judgment, intelligence and social standing was yesterday overheard by the writer addressing some half dozen acquaintances in these words-; "I Major Handbury should continue to superin tend the works at the locks for the next hundred years, and the appropriations continue to be made as they have been in the past the work would never be 'fin ished. Thus we all have the bad heart. It is the heart sickness of deferred hope and we have it in an advanced state of chronic development. The editor of The Dalles Chko.viclk is not made of the stuff that meekly bears insult and ridicule forever without kicking back. Scarcely a number of the Times-Mountaineet appears without some insulting reference to this journal. How long is this to continue? Is there not common deceucy enough left in the ed itor of the Times-Mountaineer to let a man alone who wants no fight with him? Before ever a number of the Chkoniclk was issued under our direction we per sonally begged of Mr. Michell to be al lowed to conduct a gentlemanly rivalry with hi ili. He has chosen his own path and we are most unwilling to follow him in it. Both he and us can find much more profitable employment than seek ing to belittle one another. .Whatever may be true of the readers of the Times Mountaineer those of the Chkoniclk have no interest in editorial fights. For ourselves we are sick and weary of them. Will the Times-Mountaineer let us alone to pursue the tenor of our way or will - it again force us, in common defense, to a warfare that we are egotistical enough to believe will bring no" glory to that journal. The Spokane Review,' a thoroughly . re publican journal and one as ably con ducted as any on the Pacific coast has earned the gratitude of all honest men with in or without the republican party , for its fearless and manly exposure of the corruption and dishonesty of acting Governor Laugh ton. It is refreshing in these days of truckling subserviency to party and party interests to find a man honest enough to boldly' rebuke the cor-. mption of the leading men of the party to which he belongs. The time has fully come when integrity and unswerving de votion to truth and righteousness should be the grand qualifications for political preferment and not the mere party badge that so often covers a multitude of political sins. The farmers' movement has a future of grand possibilities before it if it shall refuse to follow the ignis fatuus of third party political autonomy. So long as it remains non-partisan so long will it be feared and respected, a terror to evil doers and a priiise to them that do well. So long as it remains in this condition its power for good is incalculable. .The secret of its strength will lie in its inde pendency. Political conventions will dread a power that will inevitably crush corrupt nominations. To appoint bad men for office will be to court defeat. But ' let the movement descend to the arena of mere partisanship and it will become the pliant grain between the upper and nether millstones of the two old parties. CROP PROSPECTS. The follwing persons have been inter viewed within the past twq days as to the condition of the crops in this county lying between here and the Mutton mountains. The general concensus leads us to the opinion that in the country described, spring sown grain, where it was properly put in is in good condition and with a. good rain rny time during the next two or three will bring a good crop. Volunteer and fall grain sown too thick, is, (at least within ten miles 'of The Dalles,) a complete failure. The further one. goes south of the city beyond Eight-mile the better the prospect. Speaking for the Dufur neighborhood Mr. Willis Hendricks says that early sown spring grain, which comprises a large majority of the grain sown in that peipbborhood, has not suf fered from "lack of rain and will stand from two too three weeks more dry weather without being fatally injured. To insure a good crop, however, we must have rain. Mr. Corson on the Thompson ranch says he has about eighty acres of spring grain that presents the poorest prospect he ever had. It was sown about the 28th of March. Mr. P. T. Sharp informs us that his spring grain is in good condition and with such rain as ordinarily falls about this time a good crop is assured. Some of his fall grain, where it is too thick, is badly burned. F. C. Clausen, whose place is near the Deschutes r'ver beyond Nansene, says that his grain looks well and that a good shower of rain- will insure him a good croo. ' Some fields of late sown grain here and there has never come up, and without plenty of rain will amouut to nothing. '' Fall grain and volunteer, where it is too thick, have suffered from the present hot spell and some of it is past recovery.. The acreage, however, that comes under this head is 'relatively small and is chiefly confined to the countryjnear' The Dalles. Mr. P. P. Underwood says that in his country east of Dufur the grain pros pects are generally good. A good shower of rain fell Mondav afternoon. There is no fall grain in the neighborhood. Some early sown grain that was sown too thick is "fired" beyond redemption. " Mr. D. Farrington, of Lower Fifteen Mile says that in his neighborhood, and between there and this city volunteer grain is generally burned beyond recovery. Spring grain is looking well but we must have more rain to have a good crop. - .- Curious Animal Friends. Residents in the lower end of town are greatly interested in the curious affilia tions of a young calf and two terrier pup pies left to look out for themselves by .their-owners. The animals are insepar able, living, playing and sleeping to gether. Whenever the puppies are en ticed away in order that they may be giv en food, they return to the calf as soon as their repast is finished, and. lie down beside it. The tender regard of the calf and puppies for each other is as pathetic as it is remarkable, - and has excited much attention. East Oregonian. A water spout fell in the neighborhood of Sherar's Bridge which destroyed part of the toll road this side the Deschutes. At the old McAtee place, on the Des chutes hill the road is said to be washed out in some places to a depth of ten feet. To some people the clock's tick is as musical as the fiddlestick.

What is the 'dust destructor?" The dust destructor is a group of furnaces set in an inclosed space containing the requisite yards and buildings used for consuming the rub bish which is swept off the London streets, which amounts to many thou sands .of tons in a year. The furnace house is approached by an incline-driveway leading to a covered place above the furnaces. - In this place the - scaven gers' carts shoot their rubbish, which by simple apparatus is dropped into - the furnaces, where it is speedily converted into "clinker." This clinker is then re moved and broken up, Some of it is ground, some reground, and some ground a third time. In the ward are seen' piles of broken and ground clinker, some of course lumps, some resembling gravel, some looking like the finest sand. - For all this material there is a use. Some of it goes to form the foundation of roads; some, mixed with tar, is made into a durable pavement; some makes admira ble sand for mortar and cement, and some is made into imitation stone for sidewalks. In the Buttersea district of Loudon the parish wagon bouses, stables, blacksmith shops, etc., have been constructed entirely of this imita tion stone made from the refuse of do mestic dust bins and the streets. If any of the resideuts of the parish w;it any of ' the broken or ground clinker for any purpose they are per mitted to take as much of it as they can carry away in barrows or carts. Noth ing goes to -waste. The process of cre mation is cheap, and this method of dis posing of the refuse of a crowded dis trict has had a wholesome effect from a eanitary point of view. In Battersea the death rate has gone down from eighteen to eleven. New York Com mercial Advertiser. The Rugby Boys Busy Dsj. I give the everyday routine at Rugby just as my young "Lower Middle" friend rattled it off to me: "Well, the 6:15 morning bell wakes us, but we don't want to get up. Then another bell rings at 6:50 for five minutes. We've got to get in our places in chapel in that time to be 'called over, and if we are too lazy tomakeit.it means a 'licking,' that's all. After service we march in order to our different 'form' rooms and say les sons till 8:15. Then we have fifteen min utes to buy any little luxuries, like penny loaves the house bread's pretty dry and then comes breakfast. From 9:15 to 1:13.' lessons; and dinner's at 1:30. "We get a rest spell from dinner until S, and then lessons go on again until 6, except Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur days. - Them's naif holidays. Every boy has got to join the games then, unless he's got good excuse. Sometimes we get off by shamming a sore foot - and many other ways well known to us boys. But whatever we're doing at 6 o'clock, games, sauntering or study, everything's drop-, ped, and we give a grand rush for 'tea. After tea in winter, and after 7:15 in summer, comes . 'locking up.' . Nobody likes that. Then we have to pitch in 'on preparation' that's getting our- les sons for... the - next forenoon until , 9 o'clock, when they give us a very light supper that don't make anybody dream. Then it's go to bed, and no fooling, or it 'means another 'licking,' sure as fees and marshals, that's all!" E. L. Wakeman in Wilmington News. Th Sargcosaa Pea. The Sargossa sea is a region in the At lantic, about midway between southern Europe and America, extending from 21 to 23 degs. north latitude and between 29 and 45 degs. west longitude. It de rived its name from a Portuguese word signifying a grape, and was so called be cause the seaweeds characteristic of the region bear on their branches small air cells, which in shape are not unlike the grape clusters. The weeds themselves are among the most peculiar of vegetable productions, since they have no roots, nor any signs of fructification, and are propagated by division. They float in the water, sometimes in dense masses ex tending for miles. This portion of the Atlantic is a great eddy, - little affected by the currents which surround it on every side, and the stillness of the water, it is supposed, has contributed to the development of the weeds in the vast quantities in which they are. found. The floating masses were noticed by Columbus and bis men, to whom they were a source of uneasi ness, as the sailors supposed they indi cated shallow water. Detached masses of . the weed are often seen in the Gulf stream, and the long, yellow lines of floating weed are a sure indication of its close proximity. St. Louis Globe-Demo, crat. ' An KxpenalT Laugh. A railroad man who knows Senator Brice intimately told this story of him: Mr. Brice for some time wanted certain matters arranged at Sandusky, but his desires were prevented by two of the younger. Vanderbilts, and he finally went to them. They laughed at him, and Brice became quite angry. "Young men,' said he sternly, "you must not laugh at me; I won't permit it. Your father laughed atme once and it cost him nearly $9,000,000, and I Tcnow he had a great deal more sense than you have." President Brice in a month's time got what he asked for at Sandusky. Indian apolis News. Bad Tamper. Many people consider that "bad tem per" is entirely voluntary on the part of the person who displays it. As a mat ter of fact, it is often to a very great ex tent involuntary, 'and no one is more angry at it than the bad tempered per son himself. Of course every one, whether he is born with a bad temper or has acquired one from habit, or has been visited with one as the result of disease or injury, should at least try tc control it. But his friends should also bear in mind that bad temper may be, and often is, an affliction to be sympa thized with, not' an oiTeuse to Uj pun ished. New York Ledger. S. L. YOUNG, rSueoMor to E.
