THE GOVERNMENT BENEFITTED.
Work - More Efficiently Accomplished,
Regardless of Congress.
HOUR OF DELIVERANCE AT HAXD.
Activity Shortly Looked for t the Ca-

" - The Dalles. ,
Washixgtos, April 11. In answer to
an inquiry from The Dalles, concerning
the speedy completion of the Cascade
locks under the contract system, Eepre
sentative Hermann says : "The effect
of the contract system is : That the
contractor undertakes to do the wofk
according to the plans and specifications
within a certain time, and at a certain
price, and takes his chances on the ap
propriations. As congress appropriates,
he is paid, but the work goes on all the
same, appropriation or no appropriation.
But of course the liability of the govern
ment is fixed, and it is known that the
payment is sure. It is to the contrac
tors interest to do the work as soon as
possible. The war department reports
to congress that it could expend $1,500,
000 during the next fiscal year, and $245,
000 the-year following, to complete. If.
this could be done by the red tape and
slow process of the government engi
neers,' a contractor can do it so much
sooner, and of course so much less in
cost, for this has been fully demonstra
ted by our recent experience with the
contract system at Galveston, Balti
more, Philadelphia and Sault Ste Marie.
Gen. Casey tells me that he has saved
twenty-five per cent, by the cod tract at
Baltimore, which is dredging ; and Genv
Pbe, who has charge of the Sault Ste
Marie canal and locks, tells- us that he
will Bave $1,000,000 on the $6,000,000 es
timate for that work. The hour of de
liverance is now at hand. . Our next
move can be on the dalles rapids, and
we can consider in another congress not
a temporary and costly transfer road
therei- but . a great permanent work,
which we can insist shall likewise go
under the contract system, and thus
open npthe great Columbia all the way
along its navigable water course. Next
year the people of Tennessee and Ken
tucky will insist on- putting the' great
Cumberland river under the contract
system, which opens np 600 miles oi
contiguous navigation. - This was tried
this time, but we could not safely in
clude any more great works, and hence
excluded the Cumberland."- -
- Recognition of Mormons.- '
Springfield, Mass., April 11. In one
of the churches of this city' yesterday, a
very remarkable incident in the jour
ney of the eastern delegates to the gen
eral assembly of the Presbyterian church,
which is .to meet in Portland, Or. , May
19th, was alluded to. - It appears that a
number of the delegates, who go by the
Union Pacific,' have accepted invitations
from the latter day saints to break their
jtrip by spending Sunday at Salt Lake
city, and-worship on that day in the
Mormon tabernacle. Grave doubts are
expressed as to the propriety of this act.
It is generally felt that this is an .atten
tion which the Presbyterians, could not
possibly reciprocate-and that It involves
a measure of recognition of the Mormon
church, which , is wholly inconsistent
with Christian .principles ; some Presby
terians declare that it will be a serious
disgrace te their body. .'
Harrison and Cleveland.
' . Buffalo, N-- Y. -"April 1 1 .In the
long run fair-play in politics brings the
only success worth having. ' There are
increasing signs of a Whitelaw " Eeid
boom for vice-president, but it must ' be
clear as the noon-day sun, that the presi
dential candidates for nomination., on
the' democratic and republican' tickets
will be Cleveland' and Harrison respect
ively. North Dakota has been added to
the list of states which have Instructed
for Cleveland, and it is noticeable that
every convention since Hill's New York
job, has been"" '.Cleveland, convention.
There have Wen six of them, and 'they
send fifty-four delegates. Interviews of ,
Got.- McKinley and exrGov- Campbell
place both as expressing the opinion that
Harrison and Cleveland wonld be the
presidential nominees.' The "number of
persons who hold the same opinion ap-pears-to
be increasing. - ,
' The American Citizen.
"Washington, April 11. Tn a report
accompanying the bill to change the
naturalization . laws, the ' house com
mittee says: "The name ' American
citizen should be esteemed as that of a
Roman when Borne was mistress of the
world, . Snch pride can never be felt by
our foreign-born citizen until the pro
cess of conferring this great boon upon
him is attendedwith great solemnity
and scrutinized 'more, closely than, at
present," It is no ordinary combination
of circumstances that has given rise to
this demand upon congress for a revision
of the naturalization laws. ' Here is a
case where even the . uncompromising
foes of -paternalism : will admit the
necessity of federal protection . against
the abuse of naturalization ' privileges.
It is true some states are more to blame
than others for opening the flood-gates
for undesirable citizens, but the tighten
ing of federal restrictions in the future
will have a beneficial effect upon all
The abuse of prevailing laws governing
naturalization is wholly the work of un
scrupulous politicians. When the latter
are scurrying for . votes they are un
mindful . of the spirit of the law and
occasionally disregard the letter of it,
The high prerogative of American citi
zenship is thrust upon individuals with
no. conception of an American citizen's
duties, and with , absolute ignorance of
American institutions. Is it any wonder
that ; the unlettered, perhaps vicious,
recipient of American citizenship values
it lightly when its donors treat it with
contempt? :. Congress will do well to
seriously set about the task of making
American citizenship a prize to be striven
for, and valued when obtained. .
Electric" tight Combine.
Chicago, April 11. The combine
against the Columbia fair committee by
the great electric companies, promises
to become as great a source of trouble as
the Illinois Central railway trick. Fifty
manufacturers were invited to bid : for
the lighting, and the specifications were
made purposely so the ; smaller firms
could bid on the same basis as the larger
onesi Only two responded the' Thomson-Houston
and the "Western " Electric ;
and instead of a rental by the exposition
of $60,000 for the 6,000 lamps needed the
best bid was for $232,000, by the Thorn
son-Houston company. . The committee
was so thoroughly convinced of the fact
that a combination exists that it rejected
the bids and ordered advertisement for
new proffers. In explanation,' and to
account to some extent for the unwilling'
ness of the ; electrical .. corporations to
compete, it is said that the large manu
facturers are determined to have a voice
in the management of their power plants
if they are installed as exhibits. Under
the rules for " this department the big
electric power plants will ' be controlled
and conducted by the construction -department;
Mr. Edson, the Thomson
Houston company and others, it is said,
have given notice that if they furnish
machinery for power as exhibit it will
be after their own designs, and not ac
cording to the designs of the construction
department. It is thought yesterday's
fiasco was intended as a warning to the
exposition company that the" electricians
of the country propose . to have some
voice in the arrangements for electric
power ana iignt.
. Life In' Creede. . v
. Denver, Colo., April 11. A year ago
Creede was- a mining camp of" about
twenty men. Today it has a population
of 10,000, and ranks as the newest and
most phenomenal boom town of the
west. At any moment the creek along
which the town is built may become a
roaring torrent before which everything
will go rdowh to - terrible destruction.
But the'speculators, careless of this pos
sible fate, intent only upon the gains of
of the hour, keep up the whirl of excite
ment and the cardboard city, is pushed
merrily forward. ' Sanitation and every
thing else except the grabbing and ex
changing of. locatiowsTire neglected. The
gamblers - say the , 'suckers haye .no
money," yet the bubble may not burst
this year. The Leadville boom lasted
quite a while; that of Creede may do as
well, but its growth is . unhealthy and
there is bound to be a reaction. "When
it comes it- will not be the real estate
boomers who will' be caught. They will
havegone elsewhere by that time. 1

Baker City, April 11. Company F,

the murder in Malheur county, and it is
expected will reach Vale in time to pre
vent the lynching of the prisoners in
custody of Sheriff Fell at that nlapa
These are John and William Bailey,
and Lee Mullen, murderers of ' Wil
liam Humbert, April 5th, while on
bis way home from the democratic
primaries held at a little school house on
Bully creek fiat that day. He was shot
and killed in the road, about a half mile
from his residence on Dry creek, between
Vale and Westfall. They had all been
attending the primaries, and during the
evening Humbert and John Bailey had
a quarrel about voting. Afterwards
Bailey was around the polls with his
arm cut, claiming that it was done by
Humbert. Humbert left for home in
the evening and had come to the hill
within sight of his house when John
Bailey, his brother William, and a young
man, Lee Mullen, who was hired by the
Bailey boys, overtook him. The Baileys
opened fire at close range, so close that
their victim was powder burned. Hum
bert was unarmed.- He was shot four
times through the back and fell dead
from his horse.. The Bailey brothers
were arrested that evening, and are now
in jail at Vale. Talk of lynching in-
aucea bnena ieu to put a strong guard
in the jail. Nothing was done, however.
At the coroner's inquest, the jury found
the killing had been done by the Bailey
brothers. Humbert's little daughter
saw the shooting and ran to her father,
but when she reached him he was dead.
Excitement-runs high in that Eection
and strong threats of lynching are in
