THE ENGINEERS MOVE.

CHICAf.OASKKDTO TAKETHE LEAD
Public Sentiment Need to be Cultivated
to Realize Folly the Existing;
Evils Other Note.
Chicago, June 30. The association of
stationary engineers finds unlimited
fault with the easy-going and free
handed , manner of issuing engineers'
licenses to those who do not understand
the work of an engineer. The engineers'
organization assert that many men are
being licensed who are' unfit to be left
alone with a steam engine. The organi
zation draws a frightful picture of the
dangers which menace property, life and
limb from the employment of incompe
tent engineers. As a remedy for the
evil the association Have petitioned the
council for a stringent restrictive ordi
nance It is undoubtedly true that
much cause for complaint exists, and it
is also possible . that a new ordinance
would do much to remedy the evil.
But, after all, , the matter depends on
public sentiment. Those persons who
employ incompetent engineers should
be held rigidly accountable for accidents
brought about through ignorance or
carelessness of their employes. If,
when indicted they are not permitted to
escape merited punishment, then there
will be less need of iron-clad ordinances
and penetrating ' inquisitions into the
mental capacities and practical knowl
edge of would-be licensees. When it
becomes thoroughly dangerous econ
omy to employ half-skilled engineers the
era of competent service will be near at
hand. .
A Word for the Preachers.
. Christian Standard. If your preacher
is not quite up to the measure of the
statue of your ideal ; if he is not so ele
gant as Robinson, or entertaining as
Beecher,' or eloquent as Brooks ; if he
lacks somewhat on the social side, and
ia a little 'slow and awkward in making
friends, the poorest of all remedies is
criticism and censure. For all ordinary
ministerial failings an ounce of co-operation
is worth a pound of criticism ; a gill
of sympathy worth more than a gallon
of censure.; Any sincerely pious man of
of ordinary talent, can be made into an
efficient, successful pastor by a congre
gation ; and any man, however good and
gifted, can be made a failure by the
same congregation. A congregation
may be known by the sort of pastors it
makes. .
First Peaches of the Season.
Walla Walla Statesman. Dr. N. G.
Blalock, president of the Columbup fair
commission received today a box of the
first ripe Walla Walla peaches for. this
year. They are grown on the fruit farm
of Mr. B. F. Simmonds,' which is located
in this county on ', Snake river. . The
flavor of the peaches is excellent, and
they are .fully one month earlier than
any ever grown in this section before.
They were of the variety known as the
Amsden June peach.. Mr. Simmonds
informs Dr.- Blalock ' that he will have
over 200 boxes in Walla Walla on the
Fourth of July to supply the! visitors
who will be here that day.
The Tygh Hill Grade. .
Wasco Sun. Mr. T. J. Driver. aiiDer-
intendenfof construction of the Tygh
hill grade, is in town and reports that
the grade is completed with the excep
tion of two needed turnouts, which will
cost about two hundred dollars. As the
appropriation . is exhausted we, trust
there will be no difficulty in nrocurirn?
the money needed. The grade ia a
splendid one, easy and light, is ready
for travel and now in use. Mr. Driver
has done his work well, and deserven the
approbation of the entire community for
his faithful and efficient work. ; The
Tyeh country has been brought rjraeti-
cally nearly half a day nearer the city
and cannot be cut off now from all ac
cess in bad weather, as was formerly the
case. .

Convention of the People.
Omaha, June 30. Numerically one of
the greatest political conventions ever
held in America assemble here Friday,
and on Monday, July 4th, it will nomi
nate a presidential ticket representing
the principles and policy of the peoples'
party. That the results of the conven
tions at Minneapolis and Chicago have
encouraged the leaders and the rank and
file of this ambitious and . exceedingly
active and agressive, though raw young
organization is quite obvious. - Mr.
Jerry Simpson talks bravely of what the
peoples' party will 'do in November, and
Chairman Tanbeneck, not less sanguine,
promises to wrest from tlie democrats
part of the solid south, capture the sil
ver states, retain Kansas, and give the
republicans a hard fight for 'supremacy
in the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa.
On the silver issue the people's party
universally believes that it will become
an important factor in the present cam
paign. Both Mr.; Harrison and Mr.
Cleveland are clearly on record touching
that question, and that bitter feeling
against each of them is widespread in
the west and the south is perfectly ap
parent. Their opposition to free coin
age has set former adherents against
them. -If the election were to be held
tomorrow both the parties would prob
ably lose a state or two.
But between now and November the
believers in free coinage may find 'them
selves sucked into the great maelstrom
of the tariff fight. The tariff is bound
to be the dominant issue, and whether
the people's party will or no, it must
face that issue and be subject to its
influences. Those of its members who
believe in tariff reform will feel the im
pulse to join with the forces making for
that end, while those adhering to the
idea of McKinley, rather than see the
protection walls torn down by hostile
hands, will drop silver; and rally to the
defense of what may seem to them the
more vital thing
In the south the force-bill issue will
dominate and tend to drive would-be
deserters from the democracy back into
the party lines. But the Omaha con
vention with its 1,776 delegates is going
to be a big and a yery important affair.
It will be representative and earnest,
enthusiastic and perhaps turbulent, and
in session it will present a spectacle at
once picturesque and suggestive. The
old parties will look upon it with "more
than passing interest. Those who are
inclined to look upon - the leaders as
mere dreamers should reflect that they
desire to nominate, as their candidate
for president so conservative and sin
cere and a man as Judge ' Walter Q.
Gresham. -
Warm Weather Inland.
Kavelstok Star. The thermometer
has been alternating between 80 and 90"
in the shade throughout the week,
the average being 82. But the
river brings down on its troubled surface
some refreshing breezes from tht up
country pine forests, so that the heat is
never oppressive. ' The snow line on the
mountains is forever moving upward,
and very soon only the glaciers will be
wearing their usual summer garb. The
river, too, is going up, has already passed
the record of last year, and will go much
higher yet. What was earstwhile a vast
waste of sand below the bridge is now
the broad river. The Columbia will es
tablish a record this year.
That's Oar Tam-tam.
Montesano Democrat. The editor of
this paper has known Dr. Blalock ever
since his advent into the then territory
of Washington, andean truly say that
he has always found him to be a man of
unquestioned probity and a gentleman
in every respect. The Washington
democracy could go further and find no
better or abler candidate for governor
than Dr. N. G. Blalock.
Don't Give It Away.
Frankfort .Chronicle. There are a
good many secret movements on this
side of the Columbia river, and it looks
as though we may wake up some morn
ing and find ourselves in the midst of
startling realities. Something, more
than usual ia in the wind, and time will
tell what it is. '-
The watermelon will soon begin its
nefarious work of corrupting the south
ern voter'B conscience. .

A BIG DAY FOR THE ICE DEALERS.
The Hot Wave Came so Suddenly That
People Are Frantic.
A COOL WAVE SAID TO BE COMING.
The Bane of the Perspiring Pedestrian
in Choker and Handkerchief
Stuffed Collar.
Chicago, June 30. It was hot yes
terday, but not so hot as some drug
store thermometers, indicated. One of
these industrious recorders frightened
people at the corner of State and Mad
ison streets yesterday afternoon with the
figures 108 "in the shade," when the .
official thermometer in the Auditory
tower never got within five degrees of
that temperature. Some people eat
that the business thermometer is built '
on the spring balance principle and reg
isters more or lees as the exingencies of
the case may require. This hot spell is,
part of an immense heat wave spread
over the whole continent from Pacific
to Atlantic. The temperature may be
more oppresive today, but the next day
the government weather man says a
cool wave may be expected.. He says
also that there is no danger ot a return
of the wet weather. The school girl in her
cool white dress and variegated parasol .
and the man proud and resplendent in '
lavender pantaloons, linen vest and
straw hat jostled along the shady side of
the street with the fat man, the points
of his steaming suspenders showing
through his linen coat and the perspir
ing pedestrian in a choker, with a hand
kerchief stuffed in his collar. A steady
stream of male humanity poured into
the beer Baloons, and individuals with
ideas of t their own attempted to drive
out the inward heat with copious drinks
of dark red liquor. Soda fountains and'....
ice-cream stands were hidden lxshind-,
dense crowds of men, women and child
ren. Candy peddlers, with wares in a
molten mass of sweetness on the trays, .
sold fans, and the hot-tamale man gave
up in disgust. All Chicago took- to the
shady side. Hammocks were swung in .
every nook where a shadow fell and a
breeze played, and citizens in mother
hubbards and shirt sleeves lolled in neg
lige and nodded over 'books and ices.
Those who could not find shady places
went out into the streets and boarded
cable cars for the parks, to get away
from the smell of dripping tar roofs and,
rooms stuffy as ovens. On the street
cars men rode bareheaded and with.;
coats on their arms, and returned attet -the
sun had gone down. .
Why Heppner is Avoided. '
. Gazette. Of all the stage lines in ex
istence, the Lucky Baldwin branch,
from Canyon to -Monument, takes the
bakery. The rigs and stock are a dis
grace to a civilized community. No
wonder the people will insist in going
by the way of Baker city. .It is to be
hoped that the line will; pass into the :
hands of Joe Keeney, who owns the
Monument-Heppner line.' Mr. Keeney
will then have an opportunity to put on
coaches and new stock. Until that is
done we- cannot expect the travel to
come by the way of Heppner.
Oregon The Asylum.
' Klamath Star. - The cyclones that -waltz
through the Mississippi valley
start more immigrants this way than
all the boom circulars in the land. They
whisper to the people that an asylum
from the wrath ot the heavens should
be hunted up, and the whisper is mighty
loud sometimes. The fact that Oregon
is that asylum is "made impressive by
the voice of cyclone, and the alarmed in
habitants do the rest.
