THE LESSON OF OUR REPRE
SENTATIVES. The lesson taught by the success of the
anti Moody ticket yesterday should not
be lost upon our representatives whether
state or national. At the last legislature
nothing passed current except it was
coined in the Moody mint. Anything
that Moody asked was granted, anything
that the people demanded was denied.
The humiliating sight of fifteen citizens,
representing fairly the wealth and worth
of The Dalles at the last legislature,
begging and entreating the creatures
whom their votes had made their repre
sentatives to grant them the passage of
bills endorsed by the common council, by
the chamber of commerce and by the
representatives of three-fourths of the
city's wealth, will never be forgottenf by
those who were eyewitnesses. We re
member the rude denial of redress with
out the Moody council and "concurrence,
the refusal of the legislature to grant us
common justice, its readiness to believe
a lying and contemptible scrap of an ir
responsible newspaper, because Moody
approved it, while it turned a deaf ear
to the letters and petitions of a hundred
of our best citizens all because, for
sooth, the petitioners and lobbyists were
but the representatives of a faction at
once insignificant and uninfluential. Let
our representatives know that what was
done yesterday could have been : done,
with proper organization at anytime for
the past five years and that what the
city has done the county will endorse
'at the next state election. Even at the
last state election, without any special
effort whatever being made against the
bossism of M. A. Moody be was unable
to secure a solid delegation from a single
precinct in the couri ty. While he carried
The Dalles primary by the same ' nefar
ious methods he adopted last Saturday
night, he was unable to control nearly
the half of the men he was obliged to
put on his ticket. Our representatives
will do well to note that the people of
The Dalles and Wasco county want no
more of Boss Moody. They have had
all they want of him already. They
have weighed him him in the balance
and found him wanting in everything
but an unswerving devotion to his own
selfish interests. When a house is about
to fall wise men will stand from under.
The men defeated yesterday were de
feated because they were his nominees
and for no other reason. Not a breath
of suspscion taints the character of any
of them. The city would delight to
honor the names of such men as Judge
Condon and Judd Fish and the same is
true of all the rest. And the city would
honor itself in honoring them, while all
their personal popularity could not elect
them, as the friends of Malcolm A.
Moody.
YESTERDA VS VICTORY.
We have met the enemy and they - are
ours The issue was squarely Moody or
anti-Moody and the freemen of The
Dalles have ' risen in their might and
routed Moody, horse, foot and dragoons.
It was no question of the character of
the men on the Moody ticket. They
were all, without exception, honorable
and honest citizens, men who would
have adorned any position to which the
people might have called them ; but they
were Moody men and the people did not
wan't Moody and they said so yesterday,
in terms not to be mistaken. It is more
than a defeat, it is a rout,' it is more
than a victory it is a triumph, it is more
than a conquest, it is a Waterloo.
Every man on the citizens' ticket is
elected. ' The pride of bossism is broken
and the imperialism of the dictator is
rebuked. The damning ou trage of stuff
ing the primary with stockmen from
Crook county, sheep herders from Ante
lope and boys yet in their teens from
Dalles has been resented. The infamy
of delayed public improvements, a peo
ple robbed of the use of a hundred thous
and dollars through frivolous and im-
' pertinent vetoes while a bank was en
riched, a defeated charter bill and a
water bill amended to suit the erigen
cies of a selfish im'perealism, a deaf legis
lature and an insulting representation,
all have been remembered and the prime
mover in the infamous drama with all
his abettors has been hurled into the
vortex of a political grave while twice a
thousand voices in The Dalles-and Wasco
county exclaim, may there never be a
resurrection.
The Times Mountaineer sees the hand
writing on the wall.
The organ of the defunct reminiscence
when it began to sniff defeat in the am
bient air of yesterday afternoon com
forted itself with this ' reflection, which
is abotit as' near the truth as it ever gets":
"There being nothing at stake the peo
ple were apethetic- regarding - the
election." No statement could be farther
from the truth. There never was an
election in this city more hotly contested
and the number of votes cast completely
demonstrates that the people were any
thing but apethetic. In the very same
column and refering also to the election
these words are used, "The greatest
excitement prevailed in the city today."
This paragraph was evidently written in
the morning when the brother was
flushed with the hope of victory. NoSv
you pay your money and take your
choice.
Notwithstanding the predictions that
our protective system' would handicap
American maunfacturers in competing
with European products in the markets
of the world our exports of mowers and
reapers for the month of March last
were valued at $427,115 as against $353-,
909 in the same month of 1890, and our
exports of manufactured products
amounted to $14,726,817 against $11, 030,
379 in March 1891.
The Times-Mountaineer referring to
yesterday's election says : "The faction
in every instance attempted to hide their
animus in the municipal fight that of
controlling city affiaira." And, pray,
what did the defunct reminiscence
want?
A LETTER FROM HOBO.
A Chatty Letter from "Dick Doe" New
Paper Talked Of, Etc.
Mobo, June 14, 1891.
Editor Chronicle Quite a number
take the Chronicle but your reporter
fails to glean all the news.'
Mrs. McDanel and daughter, Miss
Katie, of Oakland, are visiting Mr. H. S.
McDanel.
Mr. John J. Schaffer has a brother
from Iowa visiting him.
Miss Pearl Rust has just returned
from a six months' visit to California.
Messrs. W. H. Pugh, of Wasco, G. C.
Com stock, of Kent, Frank Jams, of
Grass Valley, E. Peoples, of Monkland,
and L. K. Moore, of Erskineville, are
some of the carpenters working on the
new buildings under construction at this
place.
E. O. McCoy has been having a lot of
work done on his property here which
has helped the looks of it and gives the
town a better appearance.
We hear Messrs. McDonald & Ginn
are to use the McCoy building with a
line of hardware. They are also agents
for Knapp, Burrell & Co. for Sherman
county.
Mr. A. C. Sanford, Filloon Bros'., head
traveling man and collector is making
Moro his headquarters. Filloon Bros.,
are always up to the times ; they are
putting a branch house in at this place.
Mr. F. M. Hampton has teams hauling
lumber for a livery and feed stable ; we
are glad to see it as a good stable is badly
needed.
Moore Bros, have nearly completed a
neat two-story building across the street
from their store. We believe it is to be
used as a harness store below and a pub
lic hall above.
We also hear rumors of a newspaper
in the. near future but don't tell any
body, as it might be all gas, but there is
a big lot of lumber being hauled and
piled on lot 8, block 2. Peoples & Moore,
contractors say they are going to erect a
fine two story building. Time will tell
what it is for. ,
Mr. Kaseberg is building a new black
smith shop. ' -
Peoples & Moore intend building a
store for their own use in which to sell
furniture, undertaking goods, etc., be
side several dwelling houses.
We had quite an excitement the other
day. The town is furnished with water
from a large cistern on the hill above
town. The cistern was built about four
years ago and unbeknown to the citizens
and also to the cattle around town, the
timbers that supported the top had be
come rotten, and when one of Mr. Uriah
Servise's large steers walked over it the
top gave way and let about 1500 pounds
of beef down into the cistern. Mr. John
Mason saw the catastrophe and spread
the news. About fifteen men headed by
W. H. . Fulweiler made haste to the
rescue After much hard work by the
wise ones it was decided to make a raft
out of some logs close by which, was
done. The steer, after some urging, got
aboard the raft and was floated to the
low side of the cistern and his oxship
walked off.
N In talking with- J.B. Morrison, Chas.
Belchie, A. D." McDonald, J. A. Thomp
son, W. C. Rutledge,' Geo. ' Mader and
others from different parts of this end of
the county, we are glad to know they all
think the crop prospect is good as could
be asked for; - ' Dick Doe.

Election Day In Greece.-? -i.,4 "
Election day is an exditinK one- iri
Greece. The last one was' especially bo :
in Athens. The people-were totetei-tor '
members of parlianie"nt:-sTlieVBljcioii"
occurs every four ears?'f Fr- week
previous to the potting; all: the men" aria
boys were parading? the streets,-headed
by a band. The Greeks ar.blesteffwTth
most powerful lungs; aoa thetr shouts of
"Viva!" fairly drowned the braying of
the ..donkeys. The interest was so in
tense that the young children sharecTHV
and' an American lady, passing a "mite
of dpof" -oti'the stretet, whowas escort
ing a ; little girl, home from school, gal
lantly '-carrying' her books! heard ' him
ask her if she had a vote! . - - ' ' ' v -'
The voting takes place in the churches
on Sunday, consequently the customary
service is dispensed with. . In the church
to which an Amtrican gentleman suc
ceeded in finding ' access there were
ranged round the church forty-two
boxes, that being the number of the
candidates.
These boxes were something the shape
of a tea box, one half painted white,
with "Yes" on it. and the other half
black, with "No" on it.
Tin tubes projected from the front
outward. Looking through these tubes
one could see that the boxes were divided
into two compartments. Beside each
box stood a representative of the candi
date, and over the box appeared the
candidate's-picture: Each voter, as' he
entered the church, had his name and
address registered, and a check given
him. The above mentioned representa
tive then gave the voter a bullet, or
vote, made of lead.
Formerly the dishonest voter would
slip another bullet up his coat sleeve,
and as he raised his arm to the tube the
bullet would roll down, and two votes
instead of one be cast; but the repre
sentative now watches to prevent cheat
ing. Negative votes as well as affirma
tive must also be cast; that is, if a voter,
objects to a candidate, he must cast a
negative bullet. The voter, of course,
casts one vote at each box, or forty-two
in alL Cor. Youth's Companion.
! Th Chinaman's Pnrclme.
The Chinese are not supposed to have
much talent or liking for humor,- but a
little story related by the author , of
"Three Years' in Western China" shows
that they are not altogether deficient in
that respect:
Several of my followers were opium
smokers, and one of my bearers had con
tracted a great craving for the drug. He
was somewhat disreputable in appear
ance, but a willing worker. - His bag
gage consisted of the clothes on his back
and a small bundle containing his opium
pipe and the necessary paraphernalia for
smoking.
On leaving a certain village 1 noticed
that the" bundle had' assumed larger di
mensions, but - my speculations as to its
contents proved to be wide of the mark
A few miles to the west of Yang-lin a
halt was called for rest, and the cakes on
the roadside stall were quickly bought
and ''devoured. Thd opium' smoker,
meanwhile, sat apart on the edge of the
stone road. - '- '' "
"How ia it that you are all eating and
drinking'," said he to one of his comrades,
"and I haven't a single cash to follow
your example?"
The other man put his thumb to his
mouth,' and pretending to inhale, pro
nounced the single word, "Opium," at
which the smoker smiled and was silent.
. On ' the following day we- were - sud
denly overtaken by a sharp 'rain storm;
and when the other bearers were search
ing for shelter the smoker solemnly pro
duced his . bundle, gravely undid the
cover, and proceeded to unfold and put
on a first class waterproof coat which he
had wisely purchased in the village to
which we have referred. The astonish
ment on the other men's faces and- the
look of triumph in - which' the - smoker
indulged were a study.
The First Horse Car.
It was in 1831 that I devised the first
street car; or omnibus, as it was then
called. This car was composed of an ex
tension to-tr-coaqb body, with seats
lengthwise instead of crosswise. - On the
outside of the vehicle was printed "Om
nibus," in large letters. People would
stand and look at this word and wonder
what it meant. "Who is Mr. Omnibus?"
many of them would inquire. I had a
shop of my own at this time; and there
1 built the first horse car. It was run for
the first time in 1832, front Prince street,
in the Bowery, to Fourteenth - street.
This car had three compartments of ten
seats each, entrance being had from the
sides. On the top there were also three
rows of seats, facing . back and front,
seating thirty persons. John Stephen
son in Ladies' Home Journal -: -
Salvation Army- and the Crmwdes.
It is obvious that if we would find any
analogy for the growth and force of this
movement of- the. Salvation Army, we
must go back to the enthusiasm exerted
by the preaching of the Crusades, to the
work of Francis and Dominic in founding
the mendicant orders, 'to the Protestant
Reformation,' to the' preaching' of George
Fox, or to the growth of Wesleyaxnsm
at the close of the last century.' Further,
no attentive student of early church
history - can - fail to-see- many striking
points-'of - analogy' between the methods
adopted and the results achieved by the
Salvation Army and those which aston
ished and, disgusted the pagan world in
the rapid success attained by the early
missionaries of the - Christian church.
