The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
There is no question but what the
merchants of The Dalles will do. all of.

land or Astoria as an outlet. AYe hope
the farmers- of the interior will unite in
. their'patrouage of the boat company and
give the line the supttort which it de-.
serves. By a union of the merchant;
and farmers of this section the new yen- !
: ture can be made successful and sure of !
being continued as a regulator of freight
. rates on the Columbia.
... Selfinhuess, not money, is the root of
all evil. All the great schemes for the
improvement of mankind fail from ig
noring the natural selfishness of all man
kind. The theories of the nationalists
sound beautiful, and their arguments
are convincing until you take into con
sideration the humanity of man, and his
humanity is selfish. Socialists and com
munists lose sight of this, and of an
archy, selfishness is the keystone. The
successful man, the man who piles up
bis thousands long after he has piled up
, more than lie can possibly enjoy, is but
giving play to his selfish instincts to
keep from the less fortunate all he can
and make his own,- The man who ac
quires wealth may not be more selfish
than other men, but he has with his sel
fishness the faculty of gratifying it to a
greater extent than others.-'.. Turn what
ever way he will, the theorist is con
fronted by, the insurmountable wall of
individual selfishness, and until the na
ture of man is changed his hopes mast
fail. '
The decision of a great many, last fall,
with regard to the farmers' alliance
movement, was that it was only transi
tory and would soon pass away, but as
time advances and the alliance keeps
gaining strength, with such rapidity as
has been teldoiu witnessed in the history
of any movement, they are beginning to
reverse their decision and are becoming
alarmed for the old parties, especially if
they are receiving favors, or expect to in
the future, from them. And well they
may be, for the alliance has started to
obtain an object, and it is a good one :
that of making the government better
for all classes and. they are bound to
win. As fast as it is properly, presented
to the people they indorse it and enter
into into the work of helping it on.' Al
ready the alliance has leen organized in
thirty-six states and before another bix
months shall pass; it is expected it will
be organised in every state and territory
in the Union.
The state of Washington has a bonded
debt of 1300,000, on which It pays
per cent, interest, and a floating debt of
$325,000, drawing 10 per cent, interest.
Its papers are advising the issuance of
bonds, by which about $40,000. a year
could be saved. Oregon is sometimes
called slow, but there is one thing to its
credit, It don't owe anything. With the
exception of Texas, Oregon is perhaps
the only state that is . completely out of
debt. ' -
Another county seat fight will soon be
in full blast in this state, this time in
Snennan county. The people of Moro
have inaugurated the fight by purchas
ing the Observer, heretofore published at
Wasco, and will move it oyer to their
, town to advocate their interests. The
location now lies between these two
towns, and until the last meeting of the
legislature Wasco had the best of the
fight, and sneered at her rival. . Affairs
have changed since - the Hon. E. O
McCoy, who is an owner in the Moro
town site and also a member of the Ore
gon legislature, put a spoke in Wasco's
wheel by adding a considerable slice ta
ken from Wasco county to the southern
boundary of Sherman, thus giving: it a
majority of the votes. The moving of
the county paper from the county seat
to Moro indicates what the result of the
'next election is expected to be. Wiisco,
however, proposes to die fighting. ' It
has bought a newspaper, hired an editor.
and the war of words may be expeeted
to Dreak out at once. (Jregonxan.

It may be positively asserted now that

"But rm not able to buy." said tue
captain. : ' .
There' was in Weldon's employ at this
time a green looking boy by the name of
John Bell, who overheard the conversa

John slipped into his employer's " office
and said:
"If yon please. Mr. Weldou, what
i' will yon sell the Golden Gate for?" - h
"Well." said Weldotv "I offered her
to Captain Bontly for $800 But why
do you ask?" -
"Will yon sell her to me for 600f
asked John.
"Why. of course, since 1 offeredher to
Bently for .that sum but yon have no
money. John. I told Captain Bently 1
would sell for cash."
'Consider her sold to me." said John:
"if yon please, and I will bring the
money at once." - --
When the Golden Gate waa pulled up
at the wharf John Bell happened to be
there, and he heard a man remark:
"She' is badly jammed up. but she is
worth $1,800. -.1 -will give that for her
as she is.. But Weldon can fix her up
at half that Expense and have a new ves
sel." - . ... .

Footstools In Theaters-
There is an arrangement in most Eu
ropean theaters which 1 am astonished
to see our theater owners neglect so long.
I refer to footstools. If you go to the
theater and - take a look at the ladies
present yon will notice that after an
act or two many of them, especially
those who are diminutive in stature, are
j evidently very uncomfortable. Their
discomfort is owing to the same cause as
that of the man who was hanged their
feet cannot reach the ground. After a i
short time you may be certain that many j
of the pedal extremities are in the arms
of Morpheus. You - will - notice that
many ladies put the toe of one foot on
the ground and raise -the heel in the air.
Upon the instep the' other foot is rested
and a momentary relief obtained.
European managers recognize the fact
that a seat that is comfortable enough
for a man of average size ivery unsuit
able for a woman, and accordingly at
the entrance of the theater you can al
ways find a woman who keeps little
stools which she rents for a trifle. Any
lady who has rosed them is surprised at
how much the ease afforded adds to the i
enjoyment of the play. Many own
their own stools, and bring them to the
theater as regularly as they - do their
opera glasses. They are made of carved
wood,- with the legs - hinged so as to be
folded back, and can be carried with
little more inconvenience than that en
tailed by taking a good sized prayer,
book to church. They are' -inclosed in
handsomely embroidered bags with a
handle, and if adopted here could not !
fail to be popular. Interview in St
Ijoaia Globe-Democrat.
Making- Minutes Co ami.
A poor girl, who works all day in the
mending room of an embroidery factory,
told me how the girls used their spare
minutes. There were thirty of them,
and whenever a piece of embroidery
came from the great looms it went into
their hands to be looked over and mend
ed, so what they did was "piece work,
and any minutes they gave cp were
deducted from their time at the end of
the week. After thinking it over they
decided that each one could spare ten
minutes a day, and the one who ' was
having her ten minutes read - to the
others. In . this way they got 300 min
utes a day, 1,800 minutes a week, and
whoever among you is a good arithme
ticiancount how many minutes a year,
that would be for them. Doesn't this
make you, who govern your own time, a
bit ashamed? Ruth Ashmore in Ladies'
