THE FOREIGN MINISTRY., 1 The proposal of the New York Her ald that our foreign ministry be abol ished and a perfected consular service be substituted therefor, while its de tails are not yet known, probably pos sesses much merit. There is something un-American and incongruous with re publican simplicity in this high-priced system of having ambassadors extraor dinary and ministers plenipotentiary at the courts of monarchies where they perform few duties save those social in their nature, the giving of dinners, at tending fetes, entettaining American society people abroad, and the like. The system is antiquated anyway. It originated in the days of monarchy, when a subject could not leave one country to visit another'without a pass port and its accompanying red tape; when ministers or diplomats were em ployed by one monarch to lie to and deceive another monarch as to his inten tions in respect of war, and to keep a close watch on the movements of the other. The diplomat was a kind of dig nified spy. Language was given him to conceal thought ; the subtleties of inter national law afforded him ingenious di version in the way of demanding redress for fancied injuries, the redress being in the shape of coin or territory if the di plomat's country was powerful enough to enforce the demand, and it was also his duty to intrigue and plot against the peace and security of the govern ment to whose court he was assigned if that government was antagonistic to his own. The whole system was a fraud, a sham, a deceit. That we should have imitated it was bad enough, but the height of the idiocy was reached some years ago when it was seriously proposed to invent some gorgeous uniform to be worn by our ministers abroad to distin guish them from the lackeys and flun keys, and the driveling American toad ies who might be abroad without a uniform, such as General E. Burd Grubb wore at the court of Spain. There is little excuse for this system in these days of railways, steamships and telegraphs. The consuls do most of the - work, anyway, for which the ministers extraordinary, etc., receive the pay and credit. Any American citizen who may be unjustly treated abroad could, and gen erally does, apply to the nearest consul for relief, and the consul can, and gen- erallv does, take the case in hand and cable the particulars to our Btate de partment, where its merits are exam ined and from which our protests and ultimatums are sent. By all means perfect the consular service, for it is of some utility and has a place in the re publican form of government. The "extraordinary" ornaments had best be abolished. The room' In disorder. The cat's -on the table. The flower-stand upset, and the mischief to pay: And Johnny is screaming As loud as he's able, -For nothing goes light when mamma's away. What a scene of discomfort and con fusion home would be if mamma .did not return. If your wife is slowly breaking down, from a combination oi domestic cares and female disorders, make it your first business to restore her health. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription is without a peer as a remedy for feeble and debilitated women, and is the only medicine for the class of mala dies known as "female diseases" which 13 sold, by 'druggists,- under a positive Guarantee from the manufacturers that "it will give satisfaction, in every case, or the money will be refunded. It is a positive cure for the most complicated cases. It's an invigorating, restorative tonic, and a soothing and strengthening nervine, imparting tone and vigor to the whole system. It's a legitimate medi cine, too carefully compounded by -an experienced physician, and adapted to woman's delicate organization. A Cure for Cholera. There is no use of any one suffering with the cholera when Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy can be procured. - It will give relief in a few minutes and cure in a short time. I have tried it and know. W. H. Clin ton, Helmetta, N. J. The epidemic at Helmetta was at first .believed to be cholera, but subsequent investigation proved it to be a violent form of dysen tery, almost as dangerous as cholera. This remedy was used there with great success. For sale by Blakeley & Hough ton. 1 Please Report.

Cornwall company has at last struck the coal vein it has been prospecting for within the city limits of Whatroin for nearlv a year. They sank ten holes, and at the tenth attempt at depth of 410 feet found a J5K-foot vein, -of -which HJa feet is good steam and domestic coal. This is undoubtedly the old Bellingham bay vein, which fur nished the coast with coal years ago, and which 'was abandoned while being worked under Bellingham bay because of a flood of water. The discovery is at the head of Walnut street in a flat coun trv, and the vein lies nearly horizontal Scientific men predict that coal can be found at less than 500 feet depth in this vicinity. Why cannot a company be formed to try and obtain a coal supply at or near The Dalles?. The Fence of the Future. There are a number of strong points ia favor of the Tuna Hedge as the fence of the future, the advantage of this kind of a fence may be briefly inumerated as follows: It becomes a perfect barrier against all kinds of domestic animals after three years growth ; does not sap or impoverish the ground, being a strict ly atmospheric plant, and will not grow from the seed or by cutting the roots hence will not spread, it grows only to a certain uniform heignt and tnereiore does not require trimming, it has been thoroughly and successfully tested in northern climates and does not kill out in the winter time, it serves the double purpose of usefulness and ornamen tation, as it is an evergreen and blooms during three months of the year, an in vitation is extended to thoroughly test its merits, and every one will be con vinced that it possesses all the advant ages claimed for it. Messrs. Johnson & Payne are now taking orders for the Tuna Hedge and have met with uniform success. Any one wishing a living grow ing fence something that will not spread and will be a fence tor all time to come should give their orders now and get their fence started this fall. The coming legislature has a duty to perform in that it should devise some progressive general system of road laws It is doubtful if there is another state in the anion with as deficient road laws as we have. We hail the coming of rail roads and are always ready to grant them liberal subsidies. They are held to be absolutely necessary to the up bnilding of cities and the development of the country ; but a system, a practi cal all-the-vear-round system of wagon roads ; roads that would be good winter and summer alike, would be of ten times more value to the people than any line of railroad possible. It is recalled that- Benjamin Harri son's grandfather, William Henry Har rison, was elected president in 1840 by a landslide as big as the one whicade f eated the grandson in 1892. Then there was another ancestor who was promi- - nently mixed up in the landslide which severed the American colonies from England, and another, further back in history, in the landslide which deposed Charles Stuart for the great commoner Cromwell in England. The Harrison family seems to run to avalanches. . THE DALLES MERCANTILE CO. SOLE AGENTS FOR THE DALLES.
