The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
The Times-Mountaineer eays: "We
do not wish to criticise the appointments
of Governor Pennoyer on the arid land
commiaion." Of course not. We are
all right now since the editor of that
journal, himself has been appointed,
but before that event we were lacking in
brains, and were not representative
men. Now, howeverjt is with the rep
resentative part we are solid on brains.
You bet!
The Walla Walla Journal advocates
the free use of straw for repairing streets
and roads and contends that where this
plan is presisted in, it ultimately results
in the finest roads in the world, solid,
yet springy, furnishing the horses fine
footing and being completely free of dust.
The Journal may be a little over enthui
aetic but there is not a doubt in the
world that straw could be used to very
great advantage on roads leading to this
city that in the fall of the year and dur
ing grain hauling become almost impas
sible. PROSPECTS OF RECIPROCITY.
Under reciprocity treaties made and
being made with foreign countries, the
United States will get exceptional ad
vantages in one fifth of the world's avail
able trade.
The world's trade in 1889, according
to Mulhall's dictionary of statistics, was
$15,885,000,000; two-thirds of this is in
Europe, or $11,570,000,000 and no sane
. man looks on the trade of Europe as in
any sense available. England,, with the
advantages of 500 years of manufactures
und accumulated capital, has one-third,
or $3,700,000,000 and nearly all the rest
is protected by tariff.
There remains in the world at large,
says the Philadelphia Press, as the field
of growing and increasing trade $3,715,
000,000, divided between Asia, Africa,
Australia, and North America, outside
of tho United States. Of this field
which is the world's open market $730,
000,000, or one-fifth, is in South America,
Mexico and the West Indies. This is as
large a commerce as that of India, as
large as Canada and Austral put to
gether. It is at our doors, and it is the
only great tract in the world's trade to-day
lving open to our advance.
ritECOCIOlTS GENIUS.
How Little Sayre Illnehari caught a cat
With a Fish Hook.
Little Sayre Rinehart, the eight year
old son of Dr. Rinehart of this city is
developing a precocity of inventive gen
ius Mint, it the boy is spared will one
day make him a man of mark in the
world. A short time ago be spent a
while at the residence of his grandfather,
, in Suunnerville, Union county. While
there his gran If at her and uncle used to
frequently give the lad small pieces of
money which, of course he religiously
devoted to candy, of which, like all other
boys, he is very fond. One day he ap
proached his uncle for . a "bit" where'
with to buy his favorite relish, when the
uncle, to get rid of him carelessly said
"O, I have got no bit for you. If yon
want a bit go and catch one of those cats
and sell it," pointing to a litter of half
grown cats that belonged to the house
and that were as wild as domestic cats
could well be. The uncle thought noth
ing more ui the matter till about an
hour after when the boy approached
him with a suck in his hand and said
"Here uncle, here's a cat, now give me a
bit for it." Tho uncle said "I don't
want to buy a cat," and thinking to
have some fun with the boy, he added
"There's a man over the way wants to
buy a cat. you go there and he'll give
you a good price for it. The boy went
as directed, only to find' that the man
"had just bought a full supply of cats"
but there was auother man, a little far
ther down the street who wanted a cat
and hither the boy went, to meet with a
like disappointment. - At last the lad
was diivt ted to go to the tin store of a
good naturvd German, named Barney
Hubert. :md lis he entered the store he
said "Mister do you want to buy a cat?"
. . liarni-y e:jid "How much do you want
far tbv i-r.C!'' The boy answered "A bit"
"That'f too mi ieh," said llnrnpy. for a cat,
' 1,11 j:ive yi;i a nieUIe lor it " . "All
right" "ud the boy us he laid down tiie
rack. "I'll tnkf it out if vuu want' to"
No," said Barney , "You're a good little
fellow; I'lL take it out myself;" and
then he handed the boy the mckle.
After the boy had left Barney attempted
to unload the sack but the wild thing
tore a dash down the back of one of his
hands and then lit on his head and re
peated the operation with her hind feet
on his face. Then she escaped and
jumped on the shelving of the store
scattering Barney's tin ware right and
left and finally wound up in a corner be
hind a heavy stove where she temained
for. three days without food, mewing
everv little while as if in pain. At last
Barney, fearing the thing might die with
hunger, got the help of a neighbor to
move the stove, when he. discovered for
the first time that the cat had about half
a yard of string hanging out of her
inouth. This led to an investigation
which resulted ia the discovery that the
boy had baited a fish hook, on the end of
a string and throwing it in the way of the
cat she had snatched it up in her mouth,
only to be snatched in turn on the end
of the hook. After the boy had caught
the cat in this fashion and finding it
impossihle to go near her without being
scratched, he drove a nail in a slanting
position into a neighboring wall and
placing the string back of the nail he
wound the cat up till he had her swing:
ing in the air. Then he took a hitch on
the end of the string and getting a sack
drew it up round the cat and after she
was safely enclosed in the sack he cut
the string and there she was. Barney,
not wishing to kill the poor thing, good
natpredly called in the aid of a neigh
boring druggist who put her under the
influence of chloriform while the fish
hook was cut out of her jaw. Sayre's
uncle remonstrated with the boy for his
cruelty out ne only answered with sur-
prise "Hurt her?
them wild cats."

Harriet Francene Crocker.
Dr. Chalmers, after listening to an
eloquent address upon the evils of in
temperance, is said to have exclaimed,
'Sir, we know the evils well enough ; in
God's name give us the remedy." For
years we have been working , for the
remedy to answer this wail, which comes
from thousands of hearts and homes,
Of all the remedies yet given none is
more practical than the use of the public
school, where the children of all classes
and nationalities are instructed in the
physical effects of strong drink. . Preven
tion through education. In the public
school are found the children of the na
tion ; the only place where the children
of foreigners can be reached. These
children should be taught just as thor
oughly the nature and effects of alcohol
upon the bodies as they now are spelling,
geography or history. No teacher should
be granted a certificate to teach in the
schools who has not passed a satisfactory
examination in physiology and hygiene,
with reference to the effects of alcoholic
drinks, stimulants and narcotics upon
the human system.
Dr. Holland once said: "The more
thoroughly we can instruct the young
concerning this dominating evil of our
time the better it will be for them and
the world. The women of our land are
wise and practical teachers of childhood
and youth. They have secured for our
young the best idea of Germany's most
excellent teachers, instruction in regard
to the effects of alcoholic and 'narcotic
stimulant, in our schools.
Next week we expect to see our teach
ers in council in our city. We hope that
parents and all interested in the welfare
and improvement of the rising genera
tion will make it a point to attend the
sessions of the institute, and so encour
age those who have charge of the most
precious material we have in our homes.
Miss Willard says "Do not let it be said
that our schools are Godless while they
teach health, which,, is physical holi
ness." This teaching is made obligatory
in thirty-four states and in all of the ter
ritories.
Liquor dealers and anti-prohibitionists
who are constantly harping on the
blighting effects of prohibition upon the
prosperity of a city will not be able to
draw much comfort from the experience
of Des Moines, Io. Des Moines is a city
of sixty thousand people and has not an
open saloon within its limits nor within
the county in which it is situated, and
yet it is just now enjoying an era of the
most' remarkable prosperity. 'Such a
thing as a house or store room to rent
cun scarcely be found at any price, while
more than a thousand new residences
and more than a million dollars worth of
new business blocks, some of them the
finest in the west, are in process or ereo
tion. Bank clearances run from twenty
five to fifty per cent, higher than a year
ago : its manufactured products for 1890
exceeded those of 1889 by more than
$5,000,000. Every kind of business is
extremely prosperous, and the actual
statistics ot the transfer companies snow
that the population is increasing, by new
arrivals alone, at the rate of a thousand
per month. A good many other cities
would like to be killed in the same way
that prohibition has killed Des Moines
The recent yearly meeting of New
York Friends passed these ringing reso
lutions : "As there is a law in New York
state with a penalty, protecting our chil
dren against the use and influence of
narcotics, we feel the importance of en
deavoring to have this law maintained,
and to extend our efforts in educating
our members in regard to the injurious
effects of narcotics, both physically and
morally. Realizing the terrible curse of
the liquor tramc, we again indorse the
position of the yearly meeting of last
year, as unalterably opposed to license
in any form, and we believe that abso
lute prohibition is the only way to deal
with this gigantic evil. Whilst we grate
fully acknowledge the decieion of the
supreme court in the original package
law, we desire to express our sorrow at
the recent action of the state depart
ment in its efforts to extend tne interests
of the brewers in foreign lands."
Archdeacon Farrar in his address at
the recent Band of Hope adniversary in
London, urged the temperance workers
to be of good cheer, for theirs was the
most Christlike work undertaken in
these days. The best patriots were
those who did most to defeat the power
ful machinations of the enemies of their
country, and that was their work. The
great Moltkc had said that beer was
greater curse to Germany than the
French. Wellington used to send men
forward to the villages through which
his . men would pass and buy up the
liquor that his soldiers might be kept
sober, and Prince Leopold had said that
the great thing England had to tear was.
