The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
The Oregonian has today vindicated
its reputation as a great newspaper by
writing a perfectly fair and impartial
report of the sentiment of the people of
this city with reference to the charges
made against Superintendent Farley in
the columns of that journal by some
sneaking coward who stole another
man's name to do it with. Speaking for
himself the editor of the Chronicle
thanks the Oregonian for the article
because it has given the outside world
an opportunity of judging impartially
of matters in which the Chronicle has
been largely interested, which the Ore
gonian never had a chance perhaps of
placing in their true light before. The
Chronicle is perfectly willing to abide
by the judgment that fair minded men
will form after reading the article in
question.
A government that guarantees the
greatest liberty to the individual, social,
civil and in-lustrial, consistent with so
cial order and equity and interferes the
least with private affairs", is a govern
ment of the people and for tho people,
and is undoubtedly the best form of gov
ernment and the only form in accord
with the natural laws of human life.
It is based on the individual consent of
the governed, is a government represen
tative of the people, and is good or bad
in its laws and in its administration just
as the people ore good or bad and intelli
gent or ignorant. . It should never be
forgotten that the people make the gov
ernment are the government, in fact
and not the government the people. '
Dr. Willford Hall, the editor of the
Microcosm, claims to know of a new
electric telephone which for the first
time steers clear of Prof. Bell's patent,
For years, nearly ever since the Bell
company lias been organized, numerous
parties have started telephone com
panies hoping not to encroach on Bell's
rigbtB, but invariably the courts have
stopped them. Bell's invention, as fin
ally decided by the United States bu
ipreuie court, consists of an undulating
current over a closed or ' unbroken cir
-cuit. But the new telephone permits
. conversation over a wire cut in a dozen
places ! There are millions in it, and the
doctor proposes to have a slice of the fat
-disooverv.
Under the reciprocity treaty with Cu
Ta we. send them wheat, flour," corn,
xmeal, meats and fish of all kinds, lard,
fallow, sewing machines, coal " oil, ice
etc., all of which we produce in abund
ance. In return for the free admis
sion of these articles into Cuba the
United States grants to that island the
free entry for her special products which
do not compete with American indus
try. Call this policy free trade, if you
will, it matters little, so long as it gives
ns a better market for what we have to
sell and lower prices for certain things
we need to buy.
If the holy coat at Treves has only
been able to perform twelve miracles of
healing among two million pilgrims, and
even these twelve are not such as the
authorities there are careful to endorse,
It may well be believed that the virtue
is gone out of it; that is, if it ever- had
"any. There are millions in it," however,
for the cathedral and clergy.

The little sis-yenr-old child of Richard
Toni, living on the Lnckimnte, Polk

was thought no serious results would
follow, but on Sunday the little sufferer
died.
It is reported that when "Sandy"

he will open a saloon in Portland. He
apprehends that the notoriety he has

stood so closely' to him whsn his life
hung in the balance.
Corvallis issued $10 000 in bonds for
building a city hall. The contract was
let and work begun on the hall. Now it
is learned the issuance of the bonds was
illegal and the successful bidder will not
take them. It seems that the charter
simply authorizes the people to issue
bonds for water works, electric light,
bridce and seweraze. and with these four
objects the power to float bonds stops.-

For two nights the arc light on lower
Alta street, in Pendleton, failed to burn,
and the company electricians were at a
loes to account for its strange behavior
until the casing of the arc was removed
by Superintendent Burgess. He found
a spider snugly ensconced in the arc
which had woven a web so strong and
thick amidst the internal economy of the
machine that the mechanism was pre
vented from working and the "light
wont out." Why that spider happened
to climb the big pole which supports the
light, and crawl through the casing to
select such a queer abiding place, where
no flies come into his parlor, is a ques
tion for an entomologist to study.
A TRIBUTE TO SMITH.
Ertn His Political Opponents Recognize
His 'Worth.
New York, Oct. 11. The London cor
respondent of the Tribune says: "The
death of William H. Smith, first losd of
the treasury, is a real misfortune for
Lord Salisbury's government. He was
one of those men, of whom during
their life time some evil was spoken
from purely political motives, and after
his death nothing but good, - This final
testimony is due him. No English
statesman need desire a better eulogy
than is bestowed on Mr.. Smith by his
opponents. They recognize not gener
ously but fully, his sterling worth, his
good traits, his sense of honor, his devo
tion to duty, his able conduct of difficult
affairs and total absence of rancor in bis
dealings with party matters, his fairness,
his moderation and his invariable cour
tesy. To replace him will not be easy.
Probably no successor will be appointed
just yet, perhaps not until the house re
sumes next January. If Balfour could
be spared from the Irish office he would
be the next leader of the house. But to
govern Ireland and to lead the house of
commons at the same time is a burden
too heavy for any man. Balfour cannot
well quit his present post until be has
carried or failed to carry, his bill for
local government in Ireland, one of the
most complex of measvres, bristling
with difficulties in every clause. The
chances are that Sir Michael Hicks
Beach will succeed Smith. He is a per
fectly . competent man but with a
temper not always under control.
Various estimates have been made as
to the number of persons who witnessed
the demonstration. The Daily New
places it at 200,000. The Chronicle says :
"The demonstration was a spontan
eous, irresistible surging from all parts
of Ireland to Glansnevin. The mighty
wave would have swept away any bar
rier the police or politician could have
put up to stop it. The Catholic demo
cracy thus pay their last tribute of hom
age to the protestant leader, in defiance
of a majority of their own representa
tives in parliament."
MONTANA'S PRECIOUS STONES.
London Market Asked to Subscribe
HeTily to the Recently Incorporated
Company.
London, Oct. 11. The correspondent
of the New York Herald sendB the fol
lowing telegram : "A huge American
enterprise to be launched in the coming
week on the London market is the
Sapphire and Ruby company of Montana
which will ask the public for $2,252,000,
on. the declaration that the company
will secure 4,000 acres in Montana, on
the right bank of the Missouri river,
about twelve miles northeast of Helena.
The prospectus says "
On the lands acquired by the company
careful prospecting has demonstrated
the existence of sapphires and rubies,
chiefly the former, in quantities unpre
cedented in the history of gem discovery.
Piecious stones are found on the bed
rock of an ancient river channel, nowa
days an elevated terrace skirted-by the
Missouri river, and covered by a deposit
of gravel. '
It is asserted that . 35,000 carats of
sapphires and rubies, now in London,
were procured during a trial run of the
machine separator, which was put in to
separate the gems from gravel. The
prospectus gives an omciai report irorn
Edward W. Streeter, the gem expert, in
which he says: j
- Excepting- onlv two South American ;
diamond fields, 1 consider tne sapphire
and ruby mines of Montana to De the I
most important discovery of modern j
times. ,
The language of the prospectus is j
bound to create a sensation, and the an- I
nonncement mat an me company nas to
do is to Bet the machine to work on the
gravel to have the rabies and sapphires
separated from the rubbish, has already
