The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
FIRST, CAST OUT THE BEAM.
The following clipping from our ea-
teemed contemporary the Portland Tele
gram hits the nail squarely on the head
and describes the situation exactly as it
is. When this journal, opposed the per
fidy of McCoy in his successful effort to
defeat the Kaley bill, the- Times-Mountaineer
flew to McCoy's defense and when
the Chbonicle denounced the hirelings
citizens of The Dalles who would sell
themselves to the Union Pacific for a
little coin to cripple the peoples' boats,
it had to lift its voice alone, so far as the
the newspapers of this city are
concerned, says the Telegram.
The Dalles Times-Mountaineer criti
cises the governor for not calling an ex
tra session of the legislature to provide
for a portage around the dalles. While
the Telegram is as earnestly and as en
thusiastically in favor of such a road as
The Dalles people can be, it recognizes
the wisdom of the governor in refusing
to put the state to about 50,000 expense,
without being sure of having the desired
legislation passed. The proposition was
squarely before the last legislature in the
Kaley bill, and was beaten. It was
beaten partly by H. B. Miller, of
Southern Oregon, aided, among others,
by Representative McCoy, of Sherman
count-.
The Times-Mountaineer mmet ' know
these facts ; and so far it has given no
evidence that the same legislature would
act differently from what it did last win
ter. The governor would be hazarding
entirely t-o much in putting the tax
payers of the state to this expense with
out any reasonable evidence of a change
of heart on the part of the legislature,
especially the contingent from Eastern
Oregon, which the Times-Mountaineer
supported before, and probably would
again if the opportunity occurred, mere- j
ly because thev are of republican noli-
tics. ' -""-'". I011 I
Sy the way, it looks as if the Times
Mountaineer was not so consistent or sin
cere as a paper in that -section of the
state ought to be, in that it does not
seem to give the aid and support it
ought to to the men and the company
who have been instrumental in opening
Le river from The Dalles down. .All
ptlv friendly words we have seen in that
1...yr jui nuBKs, anu weeks too, when a
critical test was being made, have been
for the Union Pacific or its agents atThe
Dalles, and not one for the liberators of
the commerce of that citv and surround
ing country. It scarcely lies in the
mouth of a paper that bus this record to
criticise the governor for not calling an
extra session,.
There are mysteries about this silver
question that no man seems to bo able
to get to the bottom of. Silver has the
"queer habit of doing the queerest things
n the queerest, ways
imaginable. Not
long since-the financial . prophets were
telling us that the expansion of silver
coinage would flood this country with
foreign silver. Well, coinage . was ex
panded to an extent that made the
mono-metal ist s lift up their hands in
holy horror and now we are told that
the United States has become an ex
porter of silver and that in the month of
August. last 3,149,483 ounces left the
country, this being the largest shipment
in any one month since January, 1890,
when the silver agitation first began to
effect the market.
. The Wasco Sun is out in favor of Judge
A. S. Ben net for congressman from this
congressional district. The Chbonicle
is not in the business of nominating can
didates and is of the opinion that a dem
ocrat has very little chance of electidn
in a district so largely republican but it
is free to say, which it does-very sincerely,
that of all the democratic ' names ' that
have been mentioned for congressional
honors from the second Oregon district,
in every qualification befitting the office,
Judge Bennett stands head and shoulders
above all bis competitors. If this dis
trict should conclude to send a democrat
to Washington it will honor itself by
sending Judge Bennett.
Senator John T. Morgan, in the Nov
ember Forum sincerely bewails the wan
ing power and influence of the farmers'
alliance.' He says: "It is a melancholy-
thought that the pure purposes and
principles of the farmers' alliance should
be abused by selfish politicians who have
crept into its secret councils." - Senator
Morgan's grief is-suspicious. When he
draws an ideal pen picture of his own
party and sajs '.'These sincere defenders
of the people will miss the powerful
support of the alliance," one cannot re-
sist the conclusion that he grieves more
because of the, loss of an ally than he
does for that ally's personal success. .
President Polk delicately alludes to
the rumor that he and Senator Stanford
are going to be the name's on the al
liance presidential ticket. That is,
Stanford for president and Polk for vice
president. But it is evident the arrange
ment does not suit Mr. Polk for he is
reported to have said of Senator Stan
ford that he would not be able to get an
alliance vote for constable.
Now that the elections are over the
papers have laid tariff, free trade' and
the silver question temporarily on the
shelf while they are devoting their time
to gaessing.who is going to win in the
next race.
Stole His Quicksilver.
The Portland Oreqonian of November
15th contains an account of the break
ing up of a band of 'counterfeiters and
stage-robbers, which has been operating
on the border between Oregon and Cali
fornia, by the arrest of George Jones,
the last of the gang - The mention of
Tom Miles in connection with the ar
rest recalls to the mind of W. D.
Fletcher an experience he had with this
same gang which has been in existence
many years in the northern part of the
Laussen country, Northern California,
in 1870, where Mr. Fletcher was then
superintending a mine and mill. Un
der the floor of the shanty nsed as the
company's office he hid eleven tanks of
quicksilver, then valued at $1.50 a
pound, each tank weighing 100 pounds.
The hiding place became known to the
gang and Miles, their leader, engineered
a scheme to steal it, which was success
fully carried into effect. The losers
kept quiet and succeeded in finding out
all about the robberv and recovering the
quicksilver, six tank? being found
buried behind Miles bouse, four in a
creek bottom, and the last one under
neath a culvert. Three of the gang im-
Ciicatea in tne roDDery were convicted,
ut Miles, who was a very clever gentle
man and -succeeded in covering his own
trail, escaped punishment. Many de-.
predations have been committed by this'
old organization of law-breakers.

Bay City, Or., Nov. 18. The Bajt
City and Tillamook Telegraph wmpanv
formally opened its office for business in
this city yesterday morning.
A few days ago J. S. and J. G. Ken
nedy, brothers, living in Woods, Tilla
mook county, went hunting in the
mountains. They tramped together un
til about noon when they ate dinner.
When they started to hunt they separ
ated with the understanding that they
meet at a certain place, the dog follow
ing J. S. Kennedy. After being separ
ated some time, J. G. heard the dog
barking, and supposing he was on the
trail ot some animal went toward him '

There are many public men who claim
to be in favor of certain reforms, yet are
unwilling to sec those reforms carried
out Unless it is doi.e in their own way
and by their own party. Now the peo
ple are not purticular, to employ a vul
gar figure, how the cat is skinned nor
who 'does .the skinning. Do not then
such public men make a great mistake?
