Press Dispatches.
A WILD SCHEME.
Those who advocate the purchase and
operation, by the general government,
of railroads, steamboat, telegraph and
telephone lines may well pause at the
magnitude of the undertaking. The
property, if obtained at all, must be ob
tained by purchase. As Senator Car
lisle said the other day " In order to buy
them, theeople inustpay for them, and
to do that they must tax themselves.
The railroads, telegraph and telephone
lines and steamboats of the United
States represent an invested capital of
about ten thousand million dollars.
Four tlKUiaand millions is bonded in
debtedness and must be paid." The to
tal interest bearing bobt of the United
States in the year 18(17, three years after
the suppression of the rebellion was two
thousand two hundred and forty eight
millions. The purchase of these lines
means a national deal about sixteen
timeH greater then at present and nearly
four and a half times greater than that
of 187. Is it possible that the nation
would ever consent to tax itself to pay
this indebtedness? And if not the pur
chase of these lines in the crazy dream
tf senseless lunacy. The men who talk
of this purchase are the men above all
others who complain of high taxes.
Can they seriously and intelligently
mean to adopt a measure that would in
crease taxation, for the purchase money
only, by more than four hundred per
cent?
But this is not all. As Mr. Carlisle
Bays : "After you have got these prop
erties are you ready to tax yourselves to
operate them? For the government
never yet succeeded in doing business at
a profit. Then again this plan would
perhaps add one million two hundred
thousand men and women to the roll of
government employes. How would you
ever succeed in turning out of power an
administration with such resources at its
command? The more corrupt it was the
more difficult it must be to displace it."
It is easy to see tliat the result of such
a measure would be a slavery- ten-fold
worse man any me countrv has ever
conceived of.
LIBERALISM ILLIBERAL.
A so-called liberal union society at
Wbodburn, Marion connty, has lately re
fused to allow Col. Bain, the temperance
lecturer, the use of their hall on the
ground there "has been enough of them
blanked fools around here we are going
to stop it." This is quite in keeping
with liberalism. The most illiberal men
On .earth are to be found among
those who are calling themselves liberals.
The man who, today, would dare in pub
lic print to defend old fashioned forms
of thought that, stripped of unimportant
nd unessential accretions that time
perchance has wrapped around, will re
main true when suns and stars have
ceased to roll must expect to be branded
with every epithet that contumely and
ridicule can divise. It is the fashion of
these enlightened days forsooth. There
be things in the form of men who strut
in the garb of scientists mouth learned
words, like a pied parrot and boast of
liberality and' scientific research who
know as much of science as a Digger
Indian and are, in their way, as illiberal
as those who kindled the fires of the
Spanish inqusition. There be men who
are mentally and morally incapable of
understanding the truth upon which
they sit in judgment. No more illiberal
words have ever dropped from human
lips than those which fall from modern
liberalism and ignorance and illiberality
always walk abreast.
ENTERPRISE.
The Pendleton East Oregonian an
nounces that in the near future it in
tends to increase its telegraphic service
in order to give its readers "more and
fresher news." We congratulate the
East Oregonian on its enterprise. , In
these days of 'speedy transmission of
news, and delayed trains, a daily paper
that has to wait for the arrival of the
Portland Oregonian, or other papers that
take the associated press dispatches, for
the latest happenings, had better eon
fine itself to a weekly issue. A daily
paper that cannot afford to take the dis
pttches cannot afford to live. Besides it
is not a newspaper ; it ia only a copyist
and news pirate.
The fact that Washington never told a
. lie has been' satisfactorily accounted for.
He never-went fishing.
A ROYAL ROUE.
An exchange says "the Prince of
Wales is a direct descendant of King Al
fred, by the thirty -third great-grandson."
We don't care if he is. If the blood of
all the great men that ever trod the
earth coursed through his veins he is
nothing but a gambler and a scapegrace.
He is no longer a youthful prince Hal
with'a long life of better deeds before
him but a grandfather and -arrived at
that period of life when men seldom
change their former habits for" good or
evil. The London baccaret trial has re
vealed him as a spendthrift and con
firmed gambler while his past life is
that of a debauchee and rake. It is poor
material, this, to make a British king of.
LATEST FROM CHILI.
Another Effort to Be Made by Balma
ceda to Kring Iqniqur to Surrender.
London, June 4. A Valparaiso cable
says that the president is about to make
another effort to bring Iquique to sur
render. The rebel general, Urrutia, the
only Chilian general who proved un
faithful to the established government,
is scouring the provinces held by the
rebels for recruits, and in many Instances
men have been shot for refusing to enlist.
The rebels J. re attempting to organize an
army with a view to a forlorn-hope
march on Santiago. Balmaceda, how
ever, has within immediate call for de
fense of the capital a force of about 25,
000 men, including 1200 cavalry and six
batteries of field artillery. The Balma
ceda government has promised compen
sation for foreign vessels injured during
the recent attack on the Maggalanes, an
insurgent warship at Chanaral harbor.
Sill Hunting for Hancliette.
Chicago, June 4. Mrs. Hanchette, of
Los Angeles, telegraphed Lieutenant
Kipley, of the central station, this morn
ing, that she would pay a reward of $300
for the location of her husband alive. A
dispatch was immediately sent to Sheriff
Cogley, at Flandrean, S. ., who believes
he has located the missing man selling
organs. Mrs. Hanchette says her hus
band is a skillful organist, and the fact
that his brother, C. D. Hanchette, oi
Hancock, Mich., once sold organs, lends
a significant appearance to .the theorv
entertained by the South Dakota officers'.
THE PORTAGE ROAD.
Satisfactory Progress Being Made. Mr.
Farley to go East.
Mr. G. J. Farley, superintendent of
portage construction of the Cascades
portage railroad, is in the city. He has
just let a contract to the Columbia
River Lumber and Fuel company for
600,000 feet of lumber to be delivered
within thirty-five days on pain of a for
feit, free on board the cars at the Cas
cades for f 9.87 a thousand. This
price is 62 cents lower than the Union
Pacific company has to pay for the same
class of lumber delivered free on the
cars at Portland. The delivery of this
lumber is to commence at once. The
requisite amount of steel rails have been
ordered from the east and are to be
shipped within eight days from last
Monday.
Mr. Farley will go east on the 17th
inst., and visit the principal car and
locomotive works, for the Duroose of
selecting and purchasing the rolling
stock.
Fifteen men are now employed grad
ing the road bed. After the material
arrives it will be a short job to finish the
work, and Mr. Farley hopes to have
everything ready by the time the new
boat is finished. Considerable difficulty
will be experienced with the western
incline and no good, permanent job can
be affected at that place till the water
falls.
Waaco Independent Academy.
The annual entertainment given by
the students of the academy will occur
Tuesday, June 9th, at 8 o'clock p. m. in
the opera house. All are very cordially
invited to be present, as a thoroughly en
joyable evening is assured.
The exercises will be varied, compris
ing recitations, declamations, songs, etc.
One of the features will be a very pleas
ing tambourine dull by a company of
young ladies in costume.
Don't forget the hour as the exercises
will begin promptly, and those who come
at 8 :05 will lose the opening selection.
The types, yesterday, made us say
that J. C. Murphy, of Antelope, was
going to Portland with twenty-one head
of Knox "cattle." We, of course wrote
"horses," but we suppose the compositor
who set up the paragraph has 'been
studying etymology and has made the
discovery that the term cattle generic
ally means domestic quadrupeds and is
only provincially limited to animals of
the equine species. Be that as it may
we have since received notice by Messrs.
Murphy and Dickerson that after they
have disposed of their "Knox cattle"
they are going to ship to this city a car
load of Percheron hogs and another of
Clydesdale roosters.
Fishing is still a poor business with
many of the owners of fish wheels.
Charley Hall's wheel caught only 225
pounds last night and only 150 pounds
all day yesterday. Winans Brothers on
the Washington side did a little better.
Their three wheels caught, last night,
nearly two tons.
F. C. Sexton, ofDufur, has just return
ed from the valley whither he had taken
a number of fine horses to sell, a few
weeks ago. He says there are ten horses
to one buyer, and that horses are on an
average cheaper there than here. Tom
linson, the well-known horse buyer, of
Portland, says that horses are thirty-five
per cent cheaper now than they were
sixty days ago. Mr. Sexton saw a good
fair span of mules, with wagon and bar-
ness, sell for $160. One of the smaller
horses Mr. Sexton took with him, he
sold to a Dalles man. Notwithstanding
all this, Mr. Sexton was lucky enough to
obtain fair prices. He sold one horse for
$250 and the cheapest brought him $75.
