The Chronicle is the Only Paper, in

Press Dispatches.
Uneaty lies the head that wears the
night cap of a pension commissioner,
Tanner's reign was short, and now the
story coes that liaum's head is soon to
be out oft" and ex-Senator Blair appoin
ted as his successor.
The Northwest Pacific Farmer is now
under the management of Frank Lee,
late of the Klickitat Leader. It is
bright, clean, honest, well conducted
paper, just as we would expect it to be
when Frank has a hand in making it.
May the Farmer and its new editor live
long and prosper.
Neat Dow wants the liquor sellers of
Maine to be punished by whipping. It
is safe to say that lie won't succeed.
And even if lie should get a law passed
to this effect, its very seventy would pre
vent its infliction. If the people of
Maine only believed such a law was
right it would not be necessary to pass
it. The business would be so unpopular
that it could not be carried on profit-
The manufacture of beet sugar in Cali
fornia appears to be n complete success.
I he factory at China has been making
40,000 pounds of sugar a day during a
part of the present month, and the fac
tories at Watsonville and Alverado have
also begun operations. All the sugar
tested thus far is reported as first grade
and entitled to the full bounty estab
lished by the government. If California
can produce first-class sugar beets, there
are certainly some parts of Oregon that
can do the same; and the addition of
sugar making to the other industries of
the state would be a very important ele
ment in the general prosperity which
the future seems to have in store for us.
The circular that the "green goods"
men send out over the country to induce
dishonest persons to purchase their
counterfeit money contains these words:
"God never intended that one man
should have millions while hundreds
toil in poverty all their lives; so why
not deal in my goods and restore the
equality of wealth belonging to man by
reason of his inherent rights." These
words bear a remarkable similarity to
many of the socialistic speeches that
now teem from the press and platform
of thousands of so-called reform politi
cians. They have but one tendency, the
entire overthrow of the present social
fabric. A man has a natural right to
every dollar he has earned or inherited
honestly, 4ind no more. Any other doc
trine is anarchy aud destruction.
The democrats of Massachusetts have
"come out squarely in favor of ' an "hon
est dollar." In the convention held yes
terday they adopted a platform declar
ing in favor of "honest money." They
hold that all dollars coined by the Uni
ted States Bhould be of an equal intrin
sic value, and that all paper currency
issued by the government should be re
deemable in either gold or silver, at the
option of the holder, and not at the dis
cretion of the secretary of the treasury.
The platform opposes the free and un
limited coinage of silver and all "dan
gerous" silver legislation enacted by the
last congress. Such is the difference be
tween tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee.
Were it not for the last five words it
would iruike an excellent republican
platform.
If there is one thing mof e tnan another
that brings liquor selling into contempt,
even with men who are in no sense en
titled to be called temperance or prohi
bition cranks, it is the practice of some
saloon keepers of selling whiskey to hab
itual or periodical drunkards after they
have rilled up to stupidity. There is
perhaps no town anywhere that has not
"a number of men whose appetites for in
toxicants are so depraved that they can
not smell alcohol without getting drunk.
A saloon keeper " should not .sell such
men liquor, much less should they do so
after they are already foil . of it. The
law is against it; common decency is
against it; and every impulse of human
ity suggests that men whose self-control
is lort and gone thiough drink should
not have the weapons placed in their
hands for the utter completion of their
destruction. '
The opinion of the Washington attor-
ney general that the reading of the Bible
in the public schools is in direct viola
tion of the state constitution may be all
right from a legal standpoint, but if so,
it is all the worse for the constitution.
So long as the constitution of the United
States remains in its present form it is
very questionable if any power can ban
ish the Bible from tne public schools or
anywhere else so long as its use does not
involve a tax upon the public funds. The
Book from which the best men of the
American nation, from Washington to
Lincoln, drew their inspiration, and
whose moral teaching isjthe basis of the
nation's greatness, deserves a better fate.
We may not force its use upon others.
To do so is un-American. It might be
left to local option. In any case, put
ting it under the ban is retrogression
and not progress.
The impression seems to be generally
prevalent that this country is on the eve
of very prosperous times. The stimlus
that reciprocity has given to our export
trade, added to the immensely increased
European demand for breadstuff's, has
already started a gold movement in this
direction, the effects of which will son
be felt through all the arteries of the na
tion's life. A comparison has been
drawn between the present period and
that immediately following specie re
sumption twelve or thirteen years ago
After a period of liquidation, which, how
ever, was far longer than it has been
now, good crops here .and poor ones in
Europe sent the total of our exportations
at that time up sharply and started a
gold movement in this direction which
gave the country two or three vears of
increased business activity and conse
quent prosperous time. All signs indi
cate that we are on the eve of another
period of business extension and diver
sification. The first estimate of cost of the canal
and locks at the Cascades was made by
Major Michler in 1875 and called for
$700,000 to complete the works. The
second estimate was made by Major J.
M. Wilson in 1878 and called for $1,753,
767. The third estimate was made by
Captain Powell in 1882 and called for
$2,460,400. The fourth estimate was
made by Captain Powell in 1887 and
called for $2,992,500. The fifth estimate
was made by Lieut. Burr in 1800 and
called for $3,623,000. The first appro
priation of $90,000 was made in 1876 and
the worlf commenced in October, 1878,
and now after nearly thirteen years have
passed one can scarcely hope that thir
teen years more will see it finished.
This is simply an illustration of the
superiority and efficiency of governmen
tal methods, and yet there are thous
ands who desire to turn over to the con
trol of the government our railroad.
6teamboat and telegraph lines under the
misapprehension that they woukl be
managed more efficiently and more
cheaply than it is possible to do by pri
vate enterprise. The fact is, the gov
ernment is too slow for this fast age.
The work at the locks is fine beyond con- j
troversy. It will be a monument to the
engineering skill of Major Handbury
and Lieut. Burr. The trouble is the
people want a canal, not a monument.
When we start to build monuments
Major Handbury won't be in it. '

Isaac Coy, aged 60, one of Marion
county's most prominent farmers, was
thrown ont of his wagon by his team
running away. An hour or so later he
was picked up unconscious and taken
home. His limbs were paralysed from
the effect of iniuries to his some, bnt at
last accounts he was slowly "reeoverine.
ews irom tne 1'oorman mine is very
encouraging. New silvered plates and a
fine screen arrived at Brownsville for the
company, and Thursday Messrs. Ell
wick and Blanchard started with then
for the mine. A good report is looked
for when they get the mill in shape
again, although it is now saving some
gold.
Horace Cline has brought suit in the
state circuit court at Eugene against J.
C. Goodale, asking for the annulling of
a contract entered into between the
plaintiff and defendant on March 10,
1891, which was for the sale of the Co
burg sawmill, lumber and water privil
eges, the consideration of which was to
be $20,000, and for the sum of $4500
paid on said contract.
J. A. Warner, who has been engaged
in surveying the lands that, are being al
lotted in severalty to the Siletz Indians,
says the Indians are quite indifferent as
to whether they receive th land or not.
The most of them have no higher am
bition than to have the government pro
vide them plenty of food and blankets.
A tew, however, are good farmers, raise
good crops and want to farm their own
land. - .
John Wink, of Pendleton,, will sue the
Union Pacific for damages. Wink is the
young man who was thrown, with others,
from a handcar which left the track near
Hilgard, and badly hnrt. His eyesight
was affected and he was rendered tptally
deaf. As it is claimed the accident was
caused from spreading rails, Mr. Wink
wants remuneration from the companv.
It is understood that he was offered 500,
but declined to settle on these terms.
Dr. Meek and V. H. Spease, the two
men arrested a short time ago in Pen
dleton for procuring an abortion on the
person of Mrs.' .Weaver, a widow "whose
husband was drowned at Arlington some
years ago, had an examination on the
28th which resulted in both being bound
over to appear before, the grand jury in
tne.eum of flOOO each. They were un-j
able to furnish this amount and werei
again remanded to. jail. j
