. ' The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
It will be difficult to keep the silver
question from becoming an imprtant is
sue in the coming presidential campaign.
It has long been taken for granted that
the present session of congress will at
tempt to pass a free coinage bill, and no
one doubts its ability to do so. In the
house the democrats have a majority of
three-fourths. In the the senate a suf
ficient number of far western Republi
cans are pledged "to free coinage to make
it possible to pass the measure in that
body. A free coinage bill has be"en al
ready introduced and it is announced
that the republicans will content them
selves with voting and speaking against
it Dut will attempt no speech-making to
kill time or filibustering or intriguing to
prevent a vote. They will simply act so
as to laave all the responsibility of the
measure on the democrats. If the
democrats assume this responsibility
the president will certainly veto the bill
And as they cannot command a sufficient
inajority to over-ride the veto the ques
tion will be carried into the campaign.
In that event it is hard to determine
what the result may be. Whatever
strength free coinage may have in the
tar west it will undoubtedly meet with
bitter opposition ia the money centers
of the east; but the democrats can pass,
a free coinage bill if they want to and it
will be interesting tn imtrli l,ot u.;ii
be done with the opportunity.
The gentlemanly agent of the Union
Pacific at this place, Mr. Lytle, informed
'the Chkosice man this morning that
'the Baker will make her last trip to the
Cascades today. The Chronicle has
-said some hard things about the com
; pany but at this moment it has no feel
ing uut mat oi grauiuae towards it.
'There is not local business enough for
both boats and the company will have
learned by this time that no induce
ments they could offer is sufficient to
buy up a -eomtnunity united almost as
one man in support of their own boat.
J.I the company gives us the river (and
we'll have.it whether or no) it can have
the railroad and our blessing with it,
which itself is no small thing.
One hundred citizens of Milwaukee,
representing a. capital of several mil
lions, have signed their names to a
:guarantee fund of $100,000 to pay the ex
penses of the democratic national con
tention should Milwaukee secure it.
A "booming' committee of 100 has been
chosen to go to Washington. ' The
members of tle committee will wear
-dark suits with cream colored triin
; tilings and one of the big breweries
- will send a ear load of beer to Washing
vton for free distribution. The attempt
:.to capture a democratic convention with
iree ieer is contrary to all precedent.

, Typhoid fever is raging in Myrtle
point, Coos county.
The farmers report the ground being
wet deeper at the present time than has
-been known for many years, at this sea
son of thb year. If Sherman county
doesn't produce a healthy crop this year
we will always think it ought to. H asco

D.C. Ireland & Co. have sold -their
newspaper plant to the Coming Century
Publishing Co., and have discontinued
their papers, the Expre and Alliance
Farmer. The new proprietors will move
their properly across the river to the 1
new Oregonian buildine as soon as that
structure is ready tor tnem.
Mrs. Cyrus Westlake, who with her
husband resided, in Linn ' county for
many years, died in her home in San
Jose, Cal., on the 11th inst. The de
. ceased and her" husband were Oregon
pioneers, having settled in Linn county
in 1360. They lived there until about
ten years ago "when they moved to Cali
fornia and engaged in fruit growing.
. It is not alwavs that honor and inter-
. est both pull together in Oregon politics,
but if they don't pull on the same ' line
against letting Simon step cat-like across
the threshhold of the federal judgeship,
it will be a cold day for both I The
momenc the shadow of Simon strikes
hat seat of justice, that moment the
honor of Oregon will point its snow
white finger in that direction, and ' the
voice of the honor of Oregon will be
heard crying "Infamy!" Klamath Star.
The libel suit of the Zambesi against
the whalebaek steamer ";Wetmore for
$250,000 is the. subject , of considerable
criticism, says the historian ; and. the
general .'opinion is that while it was
natural for the captain and owners to
set the amount as high as possible there
is not the remotest chance, for them to
get anything like the amount thay ask
for.
The wheat crop of 1891 is the greatest
in our history ; the tobacco crop is the
greatest. The. corn crop of 1891 it the
second greatest, and the cotton crop is
one of the greatest in quantity and the
equal of the best in quality.-, The veget
able crop pas never better! and the fruit
crop was never so prolific. The orange
crops of Florida and California are so
fine that importation . of oranges from
me jyieaiteranean is aDout emit out.
John Jordan, of Wasco county, who
was comumtea to ine - penitentiary a
few days since to serve a two yelirs'
sentence for horse-stealing, is but a lit
tie over 16 years of age, just too old to
get into the reform school. He has a
brother, also in the penitentiary, who is
only I8 years of age, and two of their
cousins not very much older, are also be
hind the same walls, committed for lar
ceny in Polk county. The state reform
school board, in securing authority from
the last legislature to refuse admittance
to this institution to any lad over 16
years of age have laid themselves liable
to the charge that they were more anx
ious to make it easv for the suDerfnten-
dent of the school than they were to re
form youthful criminals. Oregonian.
Parliamentary Sanction Not Needed.
London, Dec. 15. The Standard's
Berlin correspondent, referring to the
reciprocity arrangement between Ger
many and the United States, says:
,:The reduction in the duty on Amer
ican corn and the removal of the duty
on German sugar was effected by the
simple exchange of notes, and parlia
mentary sanction ia not needed."
They are now Free.
London, Dec. 15. ToUay Miss St.
John, through her counsel, applied to
the justice before whom the divoree case
was tried, asking for a judicial separa
tion from her husband", Marius. The
application was granted, and now they
are practically free. The court ordered
Miss St. John and Marius each to . pay
their own costs in the action undeoanter
action brought by them for divorce.
Tn n of the Toiee:
Among the-sznaJl things as- generally
considered, but great ones as I look at
them, is the use of the voices Here is- a
sample of a very common conversation,,
such as we hearin many homesr "Marlay
did yaa tell Tops to go for the milk?'
"Hehr'Did yora tell Tom whit I said?"
"What did you tell me to tell him?" To
go for the milk." ' No reply. Then comes
the question agamv "Maria, win you telK
me if you cent lomT "Yes, I did.""
Here is a great waste of both time ahd
strength, and generally of patience as
well. The habit with many people is
very persistent not to answer directly,
but to first comjiel a repetition of a ques
tion or a remark. In the course- of a
year such duplicate- remarks, if put to
gether, would make- a large - volume.
The habit should be- formed of careful
listening; and direct responding. Some
persons respond indirectly in order to -gain
time. They are. made tip with a
lack of straightforwardness. : They never
wish to commit themselves promptly
but most persons who indulge the habit
are simply heedless and indifferent to
others' rights. A few have preoccupied
minds, and a question has to be repeated J
two or three times to- get through the
Circumambient meditation. Mary E.
Spencer in St. JLoui3 Globe-Democrat.
Colors of Women.
, Balzac, the French author, says that a
woman is character finds- expression in.
her. favorite color. A woman who pre
fers orange or green gowns is, he thinks,,
quarrelsome. . Those who sport yellow,
hats or who go cladV in black without
cause are not to-be-. trusted. White
should indicate coquetry. Gentle and
thoughtful 'women prefer pink. Pearl
gray is the color of women who consid
er themselves unfortunate. . Lilac is the
shade particularly affected by .overripe
beauties; therefore- lilac hats are mostly
worn by mothers on their daughters'
marriage day and by Women more than
forty years old when they go visitingi--
