THE COMING CONTEST.
Repetition of Minneapolis Contentions
and Tnrbnlances.
GROVER HAS NO INDIVIDUAL RIVAL.
The Opposition Simply Arises From
Personal Dislike of him.-
HE ACCKPTS NO CORRUPT TRUCE.
It is . Said ' Cleveland is not a Man
. Win Favors From.- Professional
Politicians. '
Chicago, June 17. Signs in the polit
ical heavens indicate that the demo
cratic convention to assemble in Chicago
on Tuesday next, will have much the
same characteristics as the turbulent
and contentious gathering at Minneap
olis. It is perhaps true that rivalry will
not be as bitter between any two aspir
ants. There are no two men in the
democratic party so nearly matched as
were the two heated , rivals for the re
publican honor. Ex-President Cleve
land is, in many respects, so far as his
popular strength goes, comparable to
Mr. Blaine. But he has no individual
rival. The opposition to him does not
arise because his fellow-democrats ad
mire some other democrat more than
they .admire him. It is because they do
not like him. His methods are not
their methods. Looking at it from an
independent standpoint it is needless to
say that the opposition to Mr. Cleveland
is to his personal credit. It once called
forth the declaration : "We love him
for the enemies he has made."' ' It comes
from his unwillingness to accept a truce
from the corrupt men of his party, and
especially of his own state. - The antag
onism of these men , with their treach
erous practices, might not be effective
against him in November, but it will
exert a powerful influence in conven
tion where the men who are to determine
issues sit under the same roof in actual
contact. As a rule the supporters of
Mr. Cleveland are not great politicians.
He himself is not enough of a politician
to win the favor of men who make poli
tics a profession. His strength at the
convention will be made up of an almost
universal sentiment in favor of his nom
ination. ' It may not be as uproarious as
the Blaine enthusiasm at' Minneapolis,
hut it will have a deep and significant
earnestness that will impress the entire
atmosphere of the convention, - '.
' CHICXOO MOSAIC, '
Opinions Centering; Upon the Dark Horse
'Possibilities. -
Chicago, June 17. There is nothing
in the democratic situation that is signif
icant of coming events.' The shadows
which cast the horoscope seem to be in
ambush, lacking opportunity to make
its power felt. As . an Oregonian, yoq
might suggest that Gov. Pennoyer, with
a little necessary whitewashing, would
make a quite presentable dark-horse.
The possibility of a third candidate is
limited by the fact that but two candi
dates are likely to be voted for on the
first ballot, and a selection is apparently
inevitable.' If, however, a third candi-
! date should be ' voted for on the first
ballot the possibility of a dark horse
nomination would be greatly increased.
If the silent walls could speak the
echoes of the whispers uttered in secret
conferences and darkened chambers of
I Chicago for the next few days, the world
would be astounded .at - the revelations
of the ways of political conventions and
the means that are employed . to create
the popular sentiment that makes or un
makes the destinies of men and parties.

referring to the recent storm here says :
;i'That five-and-a-half-pound meteor
that crashed through a roof in Chicago
should serve as a hint. . Sodom , had a
preliminary intimation. ( .'.' -The
Pittsburg Times has this to say :
"A schooner, white as milk landed at a
dock in Chicago, and when her captain
returned to her twenty-four hours later
she wa9 black as tar. The gas, it is ex
plained, which rose from the delightful
river water acted on the paint. This is
what helps along Chicago's boom as a
health resort."
The Minneapolis Tribune replies to
the Chicago News' references to rum
ana rowdyism alter tne convention in
the flour city as follows : "Talk about
your rum and- rowdyism! Just wait
until that reform convention assembles
in Chicago. Then we'll show you a
spectacle that'll make you think you've

DALIES Bt'ILDINO ASSOCIATION.
Some of the Benefits Which
May be
Derived From it.
Why cannot The Dalles have a Build
ing and Loan - association r We think
we can show decided advantages both to
city and citizens from such an organiza
tion. - Such institutions enable people of
moderate means to acquire homes on
easy terms. In a growing city, such as
The Dalles, there is no risk in depositing
money with the association, or in its
making loans on realty. Many people
are paying rent who could, acquire full
ownership for themselves and families
by means of such associations. They are
no longer an experiment. . They have
been tested in, old cities, such as Phila
delphia, and in new ones, such as .Min
neapolis, and have stood the test suc
cessfully. They enable people to invest
small sums with advantage to themselves
and their neighbors, who benefit by
every homestead that is established
among as. The Aetorian tells what the
association has done in Astoria. It
says: . "We have in Astoria ample bus
iness capacity to manage successfully
many sneh associations. Their success
depends on prompt-payment of dues,
and on brisk demand for the money. . In
a thriving association, there is a constant
influx and overflow of money. . As the
profits result from the loans, it is ob
vious that this lively demand for money
is needed to meet current expenses
(which ought always to be so jail) and
pay fair interest to those who invest in
the association. "The principle on
which these associations are founded
may be extended so as to benefit farm
ers -and merchants who need loans on
reasonable terms. Of course, houses
and lots form the most tangible security,
but money can also be advanced with
perfect safety on other forms of security.
In France this has been done on a large
scale bv the crdit mooilier, .which is
practically a great banking institution
that makes advances upon merchandise,
bonds and the like. We do not need in
this country a collossal concern 'of that
kind, but we do need mutual associa
tions that will enahle people to acquire
loans at low interest. This will be done
when some plan is devised by farmers
and mechanics which will place their
spare cash at the service of those who
"need it, receiving of course, proper se
curity. There are many concerns called
mutual, that have failed to merit fully
that title. To be as beneficial as the
building associations, they must, like
them, be local, and be managed openly
by the people who are directly interested
in their success. - - "

Reporter, It will doubtless surprise
many people who have lived here nearly
all their lives and never known or.
thought anything about it, to be told
that within three miles of McMinnville
as a bird would fly, .there . is a massive
and inexhaustible ledge of granite. We
have never seen the ledge, but Mr. C.
A. Berry, on whose farm it is situated,
in part, brought some specimens of the
rock to town one day this week that
were ' unmistakably- good, It is pretty
dark in color, and he estimates that the
ledge, though not fully expoeed, would
have a perpendicular face of 200 feet, by
possibly half a mile in length . -' It is also
distributed -over the surface in massive
boulders. It is more than probable that
Mr. Berry has a valuable resource on his
place in a form that he never realized.

EMIN PASHA IS DEAD.
GonfinnattioBi of Recent Rumors From
Central Africa.
SUPPOSED VICTIM OF SMALLPOX.
Sketch of His Governorship in The
Equatorial Province.
WOl lD NOT BEKESCl'EI) BY STASLI
What Kgypt Did to Kaise Kmin Key to
The Kan it of Pasha ami Aid a Ke
ller Expedition.
London, June 17. Dispatches con
firming recent rumors of the death, in '
the interior of Africa, of Emin Pasha,
are at hand. It is supposed that he
died of small pox, from which reports in
April stated he was suffering. In 1878
Dr. Emin Bey was sent 'by Gordon to
the equatorial province of Africa as gov
ernor. ' When he took the post there
was an annual deficit of 39,000. In ISSt'
he sent down 8,000. surplus revenue.
In 1882 he was in Kartoum and offered
to the authorities to try and make peace
with Mahdi. They refused his help ami
told him to go back to his province, de
velop it and protect its frontiers.
From that time nothing was heard of
Etnin Bey for several years. It was un- I
der stood that lie was hemmed in by
hostile natives in equatorial Africa and
prevented from reaching the coast" or
communicating with the outside world.
In 1885 the various geographical so
cieties of Europe began to agitate the
question of sending an expedition to the
relief ot the brave explorer. About the .
same time Stanley wrote to somc.friends
in England offering to lead a govern- -
ment expedition for the relief of Emiu.
His services were offered gratuitously,
and he . also said that should another
leader bo chosen he would give 500 to
the expedition. The British" govern
ment considered the different memorials
and were forced to take action by events
at Cairo. Unknown to them .Dr.
Schweinfurth, the African traveler and a
friend of Emin, brought great pressure
to bear upon the Egyptian government.
The raised Emin Bey to the rank of -pasha,
thus recognizing bis position and
their responsibility. They also voted
10,000 to any relief expedition. The
British government then accepted the
offer of certain private individuals to-i
equip a relief expedition, with Stanley
as the leader, the Egyptian grant to be---,
given to that expedition. Stanley's ex
pedition to central Africa, the finding of
Emin and that doughty explorers' re-
fusal to be rescued, are all matters of
such recent date as to be fresh -in the
minds of all readers of the newspapers.
A few months ago it was reported that
Einin had become blinds
GoTersment Canteens. '
Madison, Wis., Juno 17. The aglta- -tion
of the liquor traffic at. the Soldiers"
home, is blowing a breeze which will be-
pretty fresh in political circles by De
cember. But few people know what this
expression means, but it means in plain ,
language that the government has gone
into the business of running a saloon at -every
army post; that a West Point'
army officer, who has cost the govern
ment about $14,000 to educate, euperin- .
teuds it, and enlisted men who arc paid
by the government to serve as soldiers
are. detailed to serve as bar-tenders. .:
This beats Bellamy's socialistic dream
all to pieces and the administration un
der which this outrage is perpetrated
has proven itself more progressive than
even Dr. Rainsford,' for they ate using
the timg of government employes and
the prestige of the government' to 'edu
cate and encourage the liquor traffic. " A
correspondent at one of the army posts
writes that their "canteen'" buys beer
by the carload and the ''canteen" is do
ing a rushing business. -
