It any one tuing connecieu with this whole tariff controversy is clear it is that England is very much dissatisfied and has ample reasons for being' so. Our protective policy has closed Americican ports to numerous articles of British manufacture, has shut down hundreds of her mills and factories, closed many of her mines" or rendered their operation unprofitable and thrown thousands of her artisans out of employment. : Even Lord Salis bury, much against his will no doubt, is compelled to acknowledge this. In his speech at Hasting on the 18th of the present month he is- reported to have said "A danger is growing up. Foreign ' nations are adopting protection and ex cluding us from their markets and try ing to kill our trade. The important point is,-while other nations are negoti ating to obtain each others commercial favors, none are anxious about the favor of Great Britain because Great Britain has stripped herself of the armor and weapons with which the battle is fought." He complained most of the ' United States but fully recognized that . no retaliatory measures could be adopted against us because England could; not get along without "articles which are essential to the good of the people and raw material which is essential to Eng lish manufacturers." Here is a wail from the British Iron Trade Circular of January 7th, that is far from indicating British satisfaction with the American policy: vit is seemingly but a few . years ago that we made all the rails that America needed. It was the Welsh rail which linked the Puritan north to the Cavalier States of the South, which crossed -the great pampas and wastes, bringing the Mormon into control and -helping to subdue the impetuous red- -skin, and bringing, we may. add, the .granaries of Chicago and the great in dustries of Pennsylvania as tributaries to'European needs. What do .we now - make? Not a solitary rail goes from Wales to the States ! Ironmasters once thought that the Americans could not ' make steel rails. They have now beaten -eur record. We have dreamt that we -only can make tin plate ; that there is something in tne coal and iron we nave - IiiTerent to others.. This is only a 'dream. The shrewd American, a pro- -dnct of the keenest ot every kind many expatriated for the fact that their quick brains were not under moral discipline will be sure to meet home demands with home supplies." - . A well authenticated rumor is said to have been current in Portland a couple of days ago to the effect that the resig nations of Senator R. M. Veatch and" J. H. Slater, the -democratic candidates for congress, were in the hands of the dem ocratic state central committee, to be acted upon as soon 'as' a similar docu ment is forthcoming from Will H., Wal ker, the candidate of the people's party for supreme judge.. The deal is said to be a play of. Governor Pennoyer to catch the alliance vote for George Chamberlain,-the 'democratic .candidate for attorney-general and Judge A. S. Ben- uett, candidate for supreme judge. The people's party candidates for congress are said to' be acceptable to the majority of the democrats of the state. They will certainly draw their main strength, whatever it may " amount to, .from the democrats and Veatch and Slater would have nothing to lose, as there is noprob . able chance of their election; It is quite likely there is no real foundation for the rumor, but, on the other hand Pennoyer is shrewd beyond question and it would ' surprise nobody to find that he has been , quietly working his schemes while Her - mann is attanding to his business in Washington. ; ' ---'".'. -- - England, while generally spoken of as free trade country, 'collects over $100, 000,000, a year of taxes on imports. But England's idea of tariff is just the oppo site of our. ; She levies a duty" on arti cles she cannot produce herself. ; We, , on the other band, levy duties on arti cles we can produce, allowing those we cannot produce to enter free. Hence in England (he tariff is . always- a tax ' on the consumer, while in this country, unless the article taxed is an import, it is by rjo means ordinarily a tax. . . AT THE LONDON ZOO. HOW THE CHILDREN ENJOY THEM- SELVES ON" A SATURDAY. Hoe i ug; the Animals in London's Great - f Jarden" Take Their Daily JHeal Is a Weekly Attraction in the nig City. Watching the Creatures Eat. t " No day is more animated at the Lon don Zoological gardens than Saturday, when the children appear in full force," marshaled by "papas and mammas, who are doubtless glad enough to visit the scene of their own early "larks," but who try to look as if they came only as guides and guardians. The little pea pie begin to appear early in the forenoon, some of them bringing a lunch basket, wherein may be found not only' their own bread and butter but biscuit and buns for feeding the animals. :- Those who are to take their noonday meal in the "refreshment . room, how ever, need not be destitute of provender for their four footed acquaintances; a bun may always be bought for a penny, and biscuit are abundant on many a convenient counter. - . . First comes the preliminary ramble, and then a skurry back to the tish house, where at 13 o'clock the diving birds are fed." A large glass tank of clear water occupies one end-of the room, and into this precisely at noon an attendant throws a handful of 'tiny fish, a few of them still living. Then the side of an adjoining cage is removed, and down plunge the penguins to seize their prey. It must be confessed that their table manners are not fine. They literally gobble fish after fish, and then hurl themselves about in the water, evidently delighted with their bath, Another bird-a slender, graceful creature, familiarly called a "darter" is admitted alone to the tank, and his motions in eating his fish dinner are wonderful to see. He sweeps through the water like an arrow, and impaling each fish upon his bill lifts his head, and in some mysterious and lightning like manner catches the victim and swallows it. THB BIDS ON THE ELEPHANTS. Later in the afternoon the pelicans are fed in the little yard where they strut solemnly all day long. A small pond occupies its center, and into this bits of fish are thrown, in search of . which the birds rush pell mell, covering the water with a confusion of gigantic waving wings. As the attendant approaches to carry out this pleasing ceremony, the birds awaken from their drowsy calm, and it is a sight not soon to be forgotten if one can watch a stately old pelican lift his wings and begin an awkward curveting in token of his joy. In the bear pit, a deep and well lighted inclosure,dwell two bears, who are un wieldy with the fatpess produced by many buns. They hare been so per sistently fed Iry visitors that when one looks over the railing his bearship calm ly rises, holds out two entreating fore paws and sits in pleased anticipation of a feast." ". He catches bits of bun in his mouth with the unerring skill given by long practice, and will even climb the pole in the center of the pit, if one will but hold a bun over it suspended from a stick. "But how will ho know I want him to climb?" said a little girl, who had just been provided with this plummy bribe. "Just hold it near the pole where he can get it," said an attendant, "and he'll do the rest. Ho- knows as much as we do." ; So, heavily and with much panting, the awkward creature mounts Ids pole, seizes the bun, and descends to munch it in content. - The crowning joy of all perhaps for little visitors is that of riding the ele phants, which, provided with great sad dles, large enough for a dozen people, take their load of shrieking, laughing children and go lumbering off down the walks, waving their trunks this side and that-in the hope of receiving a stray tit bit from the neighboring crowd.' FEEDING THE LIONS. Later in the day comes one "great event, to which even the most serious grown person must be interested. At half past 4 the lions are fed! . Long before the time visitors begin to pour into the building where, in large cages against the wall, lions, tigers and leop ards are pacing restlessly up and down. The creatures themselves need no watches to tell them dinner time is near. - At the appointed moment a man en ters, pushing a barrow, of bleeding meat, and wheels it past the cages to the very end of the room. At the smell and sight pandemonium breaks loose. One terrible roar, made by many voices in awful concord, fills the, place. - At the last cage the barrow stops, a bar is thrown back, and two large pieces -ef meat are thrown in. The lion seizes them in his paws and lies contentedly down, to gnaw and lick them with the delib eration of a well fed animal. So the programme goes on, until one voice after another is silenced and the barrow is empty. One very interesting fact-is always, to be observed. ; The animals do not, on receiving their first piece of meat, retire to devour it; they wait for the second and "then turn away with both held " securely in their paws. They have evidently learned how much to expect-and can count up vto .that number. . Indeed the delights of the Zoo are almost- inexaustible to animal loving children. There is the monkey house, where those grave, wrinkled, half hu man creatures sit . picking fleas -.from each other with an air of funny: absorp tion. There is the chimpanzee "Sally," who will count five for her' keeper by passing him the requisite .number of straws, and who, at request, will eat witb-her fingers, as she "used to do," and then with - a fork, as she does now that she is civilized. "Queer old Sally," as one little boy said, and happy children who can see her! Youth's Companion. Fish swallow their food whole because they are obliged to keep 'continually opening and- closing the month for the purpose of respiration. - v NEW TO-DAY. TO THE PUBLIC It having come to our knowledge that a party in The Dalles in selling lime has made the assertion that be charges more for other brands than the "Oregon" because they are better, thereby implying that the "Oregon" is an inferior article, we desire to state that the "Oregon" is the strong est lime on the market ; that it will work more plastic and leave the work when set stronger and firmer than any other lime at present manufactured in either Oregon or Washington. Win. Butler& Co., Agents at The Dalles for the "-Oregon" lime, are instructed to furnish, free of charge, any and all Oregon lime, which does not fully come up to the stipulations above set forth. , The object of this notice is solely to defend our goods against the false im putations and statements of any person whatsoever.
