EAGLEISM
' SEED.
GONE TO
Tlio finest sample of unadulterated
spread-eagleism the country has been
treated to for many a day is the . pub
lished speech of Hon. Patrick II. AVIiint
ston, delivered at Tacoma last Thursday
at the opening of the industrial exposi
tion of that city, Here is a feather from
this eagle'w wing: "The story of the
wars which we have waged, of the hard
ships we have endured and the courage
we have displayed has been told in
many . languages and in many lands.
But to my mind the Crowning glory of
the rcpuplir lies in the fact that no
American has ever raised his arm
against a fellow countryman, save in de-.
fense of the Union; p Union whose flag
and honor for the hundred years that
stretch from Bunker Hill to Appomattox
is without a stain.'" This is very pretty
and might contain a good deal . of truth
were it not for the little disturbance
which began at Fort Sumpter and did
not end till a goyd many arms .that had
been raised against fellow countrymen,
for no other purpose than to destroy the
Lnion, had been leveled in the du
t. j
Mr. Whinston's liver, however, seems
to have been in such fine condition that
he forgot all about the civil war and it is
no wonder therefore, that he adds:
"This is a theme ujHJii Which a' man
can think and talk, for all ages and all
time," Then the calamity orators came
across the colonel's vision and he gave
vent to this thrilling specimen of opti
mistic oratory that ought to utterly para
lyze Potior and sink Sockless Jcrrv into
the obscurity from which he sprang:
"No class of men anywhere in the United
States is oppressed by authority of law.
I here.and now pronounce the declara
tion, by whomsoever made or wherever
made, that this government is oppress
ing any claws of citizens, as a libel on
the natipn. Since Abraham Lincoln
put aside the pen with which he signed
the proclamation of emancipation no
man, no matter what calling he follows,
no liirtor wliuf foil .....f,.,.
" ' . ' iic jji vic-aoce, no
matter what complexion the sun has
burned upon him, no man within the
limits of the stars and stripes has been
oppressed by American law." It is
very evident Mr. Winston never had his
family cow put in the pound and it is
.-still more evident, as the Spokane Re
view suggests that Sockless Jerry sits on
one end of the teeter board of extravagant
utterance while Colonel Winston has
.-limed as! ride the other.
FAVTS OF THE FIRE.
llow much our evening contemporary
knows about what rook place at the
vomniencement of the fire may be gath
ered from the fact that he says: "We
vim get a dozen men to say that at the
East End, at the beginning of the fire,
the water soon gave out. Sunday night
it the Peter's fire, from some cause, the
NVater was not sufficient en two occasions
for the hose to throw a stream." If the
gentleman' refers to the cistern at the
intersection of Second and Madison, we
beg to inform him that "at the begin
ning of the fire" the water did not soon
give out. It did not give out at all, for
the simple reason that there was noth
ing to pump it with. The pump gave
out because f the criminal carelessness
of the man whose business it was to see
that it was kept in good repair. At the i
Peter's fire the wnter (tava nut Tinf I
cause the main was not full, not because
there was not sufficient water, but be
cause of the criminal carelessness of the
same official who allowed the pipe that
conducts the water from the main to the
cistern to become eo filled up with rust !
that when taken out, as it was after the j
fine, it was found that the aperture was J The modesty of The Dalles- which
scarcely large enough to admit a lead j prevented her people from asking for
pencil. Our contemporary knows this aj,i i8 not commendable. Here is a
if he knows anything, and he knows too i great rich city anxious to send assist
why he has never been manly enough to j ance to their suffering neighbors. It
tell the truth about it. - j wa9 the duty of Xhe Dalles to eay that

seven and a half miles from the city and
some say, nearly twice that distance.
Viewing the matter impartially, and
with no disposition to criticise the man
agement of the tire department, we have
always felt that that the first great evil
lay in the fact that the engine was so
far from the place where the fire started,
that by the time it got there and com
menced to jlay, no one stream of water
was fit to stay the progress of the flames,
for this delay we may well excuse the
fire department. We presume they
could not well have made the distance
sooner; but what excuse can be offered
for the fact that when the hand pump
was attached to the cistern, at the inter
section of Madison and Second, it was
found that the pump would not work by
reason of a broken suction. As it was, the
machine was absolutely useless. Had it
been in a condition to work the fire need
never have crossed Second street on the
north, and might, in that case, with the
wind at the time blowing from the north,
been confined within much narrower
limits. .
Our evening contemporary, after hav
ing published false and misleading
statements on the water question for
nearly two years and having thus de
ceived certain exchanges, as the Albina
Couxier, the Koseburg Plaindealer, the
La Grande Gazette and others, which
have never had a chance to hear the
other side, and know nothing about the
controversy except what they have
learned from the Times-Mountaineer, now
amuses his leisure moments by repub
lishing his own falsehoods as they have
been printed in these exchanges. It is
new style of arguing in a circle.

Muller Ury has just painted a beauti
ful portrait of Mrs. Toeodore Haveme-
yer. I. ry, it will be remembered, is the
young Swiss artist who painted the suc

exhibited in New York last winter.
The Duke of Norfolk has beeu on a
visit to. the famous shrine of Glaston
bury, in hope of benefiting his crippled
son, on whose - behalf he has prayed,
probably, at every well-known holy spot
in Europe. The duke ie, next to "the
marquis of Bute, the wealthiest of the
Catholic peers in England, and his visit
to Glastonbury has been followed by a
rej)ort, which is probably well founded,
t hat the ruins of the grand old abbey are
to be purchased and made habitable for
the settlement of monks of the Benedic
tine order. Three-fonrths of the visitors
to Glastonbury are Americans.
Michael Davitt has been living in Oak
land, Cal., for a few months, and he is
going to return to Ireland to his life

a few years."
Hon. S. C. Pomeroy occupied the seat
in the United States senate vacated by
Jefferson Davia in 18(0. He found in
the desk the manuscript of the last ad

president of the Southern "Confederacy,
and retained it as a inomeato. 1
General William II. F. Lee is a bigger
man than his father, the late Confeder
ate leader, but he has sense enough to
know that he has neither inherited his
sire's fame, as an orator nor his honors
as a soldier. The result is that he is a
sensible, satisfied and plodding congress
man. Some German friends of General Franz
Sigel are considering a plan to raise a
fund for the old soldier by popular sub
scription. The general has been very
unfortunate during the past few years,
and at present he is living on a pension
of $100 per month, which was awarded
him by congress, a few" months ago.
M. H. De Young, the California editor
started his first newspaper in San Fran-
cific.0 in 1865 on a capital of $20 and
that loaned him by a more prosperous
acquaintance. Bret Harte was at that
time a clerk in the mint and did his first
writing for Mr. De Young's paper, never
asking for pay for his contributions.
Within a few weeks after the paper was
started its advertising receipts were
$1000 a month.
