The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
LET US BE FAIR. .
The partisan press 1ms a busy time of j
it. AVhat with enaay8 on tin-plate, j
nominating candidates for the presi-1
dency and besmirching everybody and j
everything tliat does not belong to its
ow n side of the heuse, there is little time
or .space left for giving the current news.
The worst of it is, much of what is other
wise finely written is. absolutely silly
and valuless to a man who simply wants
to know facts. Who'cares whether the
last congress made' appropriations
amounting to a billion or , twice that
sum if so be the money was spent
wisely? A' miserly, parsimonious con
gress is surely a greater evil than one
that may err by-an honest extravagance.
After all is there not a great deal of
truth in the aphorit-m that this is a bil
lion dollar country? The population of
the United States is constantly increas
ing; so are its revenues and so, of neces
sity, must its expenditures. We
are 1
not defending extravagance, but we are
not to be deceived by a word that sounds
big to the ear when there is a studied
concealment of facts. What we want to
know is not how much did the fifty
first congress of the United States ap
propriate during the term of its exist
ence, but how much did it appropriate
foolishly and corruptly? As a matter of
fact the report of the secretary of the
treasury for expenditures for the year
ending June 30, 1800 shows a sum of
f3.ri7,888,550.1(i; ior 18SS) it is $338,355,-
151.60; for 1888 it is f 31 1,657,351.13 and
for 1887 it is !f315,835,4-.8.12. On the
other hand the report shows that the in
crease of revenues have kept nearly an
even pace with the increase of expendi
tures. The total revenues for 1887 were
f 371, 403,277.66; for 1888, if 399,260,
074.76; for 1889, ?387 ,050,058.84 and for
1890, $403,080,982,63. The river and
harbor bill was in no sense extravagant
and we presume the greatest leak was in
the increased number of pensions. We
are most decidedly of the opinion that
this pension business has gone lieyond
the bounds of all reason or common
sense and that some day in the near
future, the country will wake up and
say: What fools we have been. But
just so longas there is demagogy enough
left in political parties to make "liberal
pensions" a part of their platform, just
so long will this thing continue. Before
any state or national election, for the
past ten years, both of the old parties,
alike, advocated liberal pensions. Now
when they begin to see what ' fools they

is believed that the government has de- j
cided to accede to the request of Minis- i
ter Reid to remove the embargo on j
. , , I
American pork, as it is known that the
government has agreed to introduce aj
bill niodifvincr the sreneral tariff law of
May 1881 and fix the duty at 20 francs
per hundred kilos on all salted pork,
ham and bacon itnjKjrted from the Unit
ed States. This would mean a tariff
duty of less than two cents a pound
which is by no means prohibitory. It
would alwo mean a largely increased
market and better times for the pork in
auslrv of the United States, especially,
too as it is likely to be followed by the !
opening of the German markets to the i
same product.
MORE HANGING OR FEWER MUR
DERS. It is a sad commentary on the admin
istration of justice in the United States
that only 102 persons were legally exe
cuted for the 4,290 murders committed
in the year 1890 while 126 persons were,
lynched. Statistics clearly show that
the man who commits a mnrder has a
better chance of escaping than the man
who steals a loaf of "bread. There is
surely something wrong when the execu
tions by lynch law are twenty-five per
cent greater in number than by organ
ized justice and all the hangings put to
gether are not three per cent of the
number of murders. There ought to be
more hangings or fewer murders.
A new candidate for. presidential hon
ors has jnst been announced in the per

friends think that the man who was big
enough to beat Ingalls, is big enough for
a presidential candidate.
GOOD EDITORIAL J UDGEMENT.
The leading editorial in the Oregon

sue is another half colunih article,
from the, samer source;- without credit.
We admire the Biads't taste but have a
poor opinion of its honesty.

Mr. Keiiftal's Stupidity.
The nienilers of the Four Hundred are
enjoying a story at the expense of a promi- ;
nent society lady of this city who is famed
for her loud dres.ses, her elaborate dinners
and her faux pas. It seems that while the
Hernials were playing in this city a dinner
was given in their honor, to which this
lady was invited The Kendals were in- :
troduced to those guests whom they had
not met before by their own name Grim

When the time for the company to go to
the dining room arrived Mrs. X., who
had been told that she was to be escorted
to the table by Mr. Kendal, was amazed
when a certain Mr. Grimstone was pre
sented to her, who thereupon offered her
his arm, and before she had an opportunity
to protest, led her to the adjoining apart
ment. She w;is so furious at what she
; thought was the deception practiced upon
'
replying to bis polite speeches with mono-
syllables and addressing most of her re
marks to her neighbors on the opposite
side of the table.
After the dinner was over and the guests
had reassembled in the drawing room, she
approached her hostess and said indig- i
nantlvr "That was a oretty trick vou !
that Mr. Kendal was going to be here, and
that he was to take me to dinner. Instead
of that you palmed off a mere nobody on
me and the stupidt person I've met this
winter. I was hardly able to be decent to ;
him." i
"1 am very sorry." replied the hostess':
sweetly, understanding at once the situa- i
tion, "that you found Mr. Grimstone stu- ,
pid. lie is generally considered very Intel- !
ligent and interesting. Besides, my dear, !
he really isn't a nobody. Grimstone is his j
family name, but on the stage he is known
as Mr. Kendal." !
Then she sailed away, leaving Mrs. X. In I

"Drat Surh Luck!"
Ridicule it as we may, there is some
thing in lack, and if there isn't yon can
not break the faith of some people. " Th(
other day a young English friend of
mine picked up a two and a half , cent
Colombian silver 1 coin probably the
smallest silver piece in.the world. ' .
"That's luck," saic) the -yormginan,
who has an English syndicate 'deal on
his hands; tHe"feU'" more confidence, is
the coin as "the day .advanced, for-, htl
showed it to several friends', all of; whom ftp '
curiously examined the piece and smiled'
with its possessor. He finally went joy
fully home late for dinner, and found hit
wife fretting and with red eyes. He be
gan to cheer her op by pleasantly begin
ning the topic of his afternoon and ex

"Luckt Luck! Don't you talk to me
about luck!' she fairly shrieked, plung

Treatment of Bores.
The redoubtable' Samuel Parr proved'
as great a bore to De Quineey as the dip-1
lomatist did to Coleridge. The opium!,
eater, sensitive little spirit that he was,'
did not often put himself in the way of j
being bored. He was completely taken
by surprise, on hi3 first meeting with !
the scholar of prodigious fainfe. to find
him no better than a slander mongering
"old babbler." '
Byron's'-method of dealing with the ,
gentrjr was even more . ingenious than !
Scott s, who himself assumed the ardu
ous tsuJi of boring his bore. Byron used
to set Monk Lewis (whom he found
as great a bore as Scott did) on to some j ,
"vivacious person." " who peculiarly ah-'
horred the tribe as. for example, he ' .
leave the pair to fight it out together,
while he quietly enjoyed his revenge.1-' '
But even this was more humane than
the conduct of those who, like Douglas
Jerrold, leave their bore k the lurch.
"Well, what's going on today?" asked
the bore, full primed for a siege. "I
am," returned the wit, hurrying remorse
lessly past.. ...
"Do not dull people bore you?" one of
his companions at the breakfast table
asked of the autocrat. "Madame," was
Dr. Holmes' suggestive replj-, "all men
are bores except when we want them."

A Talk with a Bird Fancier.
Mocking birds come from Texas chief
ly. Albany in that state is the head
quarters for them. One trapper there
sends me from 50 to 100 mocking birds
every week in crates. I forward nearly
all of them to New York, exchanging
them for other stock. The system of ex- j
change is carried on to a great extent in
the fancier's business. Most of the stock
that we get from boys is negotiated on
that plan ; so many rabbits make a squir
rel, and so on.
. I do a considerable trade in peacocks,
which customers who have country
places buy for ornamental purposes.
Fanners raise them in Maryland and
Virginia. Goldfish are propagated by
regular breeders in Maryland, Virginia
and 'Pennsylvania, who send them to me
in cans, but the fancy goldfish, with
double tails, are imported from japan to
San Francisco and reshipped from that
city.
. Those stuffed birds are pets. . Their
owners bring them here for the purpose;
four legged beasts, too, of all sorts. A
squirrel is one of the most difficult ani
mals to stuff successfully. Food is an
item in caring for such a menagerie as
this; it costs me nearly $1,000 a year.
Interview in Washington Star.
Takiuic a Qirl'a Arm.
The young man who lifts his girl
along by her 'elbow is to be seen every
few yards on Broadway. . Nor is this
style of locomotion confined to any par
ticular class, ft is one of those fashions
that occasionally starts up !in the crude
society of the country -'village, and, re
versing' the usual . rule of social con
tagion, spreads to the metropolis. Being
simply a recorder and not an arbiter in
such matters, 1 am not prepared to say
that, it is strictly fashionable in New
York, much less proper or in good form.
If the girl likes it I withdraw my nat
ural objections. Where the sex is con
cerned it is pretty safe to follow the
rule that obtains in euchre "When in
doubt take the trick." New York Her-

Force of Bablt.
A lady who wished. to weigh her baby,
two months old, but who had no scales
at hand suitable for the purpose, took
the child to a neighboring butcher shop.
The butcher put the baby in his spring
scales, looked at the dial, and remarked:
"With the bones and all, mum, it's
fourteen pounds and a half. Shall I?"
"How dare you make such a sugges
tion," screamed the womaii, as she
snatched her baby and rushed out of the
shop. Youth's Companion.
Two Boys.
A neatly dressed boy fell into the
Harlem river just below the bridge yes
terday morning about breakfast time.
He was pulled out and went home cry
ing. In the afternoon a smaller boy fell
into the river from a boat house float.
He got out without assistance and went
out in the sun to dry. "1 don't want
the 'old man' to get on to me." he said.
