JJHELWRATH OF HILL STIRRED UP.
Murpby to be Elected in Spite of Cleve
: land or his Friends.
CBF TALW1 OF THB 1KCIDKNT.
Cleveland's;. was .a Distinctively. Per
sonal Victory Last November,
and Tmmuy May
Special to The Chbosicuc.) - ; '"-
Albakt, N. Y., Jan. 12.- The recom
mendation of the. presidential electors,
after casting the vote of New York for
Cleveland and Stevenson that Murphy
of Troy be elected to take the place of
Hiecock ia the senate, was the red rag
and mad bull parable renovated. Mr.
Cleveland still objects, and his particu
lar friends in the state also object.
This stirs up the wrath ot the Hill men
who are also Murphy men, and they. go
.scowling about the business of electing
Murpby in the teeth of the president
elect. -'"
Mr. Cleveland is a . private citizen,
and since he does not like the eminent
Trojan, it would, seem to be quite the
proper thing for him to say so. If Mr.
Murphy -can get elected without Mr.
Cleveland's good opinion that is an ex
cellent thing for Mr. Murpby. To be
disapproved of by a large fleshy gentle
man who is soon to dispense patronage
from the white house may have a de
pressing effect on the spirits, yet the
chances are that Mr. Murphy will not
grieve and go into a decline. But the
rich crimson rage of" Mr.- Murphy's
friends, because of Mr. Cleveland's lack
of delicacy in. refusing to pretend to
like their favorite is highly interesting.
Of course the chief value of the inci
dent to the country at large comes from
the light it throws on the course of the
executive who will shape the policy of
the next administration. His election
last November was distinctively a per
sonal victory. The democrats who de
manded his nomination at Chicago knew
well that if elected he would not respond
readily to party dictation; if they did
not know this they had studied his for
mer administration to little purpose.
While anything like an open rupture
with his party may be nearly or quite
ontof the question it is more likely
that he will do its bidding against bis
inclination.
This probable adjustment of party to
president, particularly with the senate
almost ' a tie and the two democratic
senators from New York inimical to the
executive, will be watched with much
interest and some solicitude. Another
such equibble as the Garfield-Conkling
affair is certainly not to be desired.
Banking- Profits.
Bankers' Journal. A bank in a small
town derives profits from the following
sources' : From interest on its capital
invested in bonds ; Iro'A interest on its
circulating notes loaned to the public;
from interest derived by lending a por-1
tionof its deposit fund; from profit in
buying and selling drafts or exchange on
New York and other cities. The same
js true, of course on a much larger scale,
with the large metropolitan banks, ex
cept that while the relations of small
banks are local, those of the large banks
reach .to all parts of the world. In im
ports and exports, the office of the
banker is almost as important as that
of the ship or the railroad. - In amounts
involving millions of dollars, not more
than eight per cent is settled by the
direct shipment of money. Bills of ex
change are used which, in reality, are
nothing more than methods of barter
so much .flour, - for instance,- sent- to
Scotland in exchange for burlaps and
bags. ' The banker is generally regarded
as . a dealer . in money, but this in only
incidental. Primarily he deals in credits
and instruments of exchange. For in
stance, a Chicago bank received in one
day from depositors $5,400,000.- Only
five per cent of this was cash ; the re
mainder was made up of checks, drafts,
bills of exchange and clearing house
exchanges.
When the steamer Telephone '. was
leaving the dock at Eagle Cliff last Tues
day, Max Young.who was bidding his
boys goodbye, got his fingers in between
two piles that were shoved together,
and they were crushed flat. Fate seems
to follow Max, he has been mashed up
several times.
.THK SAN JUAN MINES.
Memories of Pikes Peak and Leadvill.
'.. . Recalled.
Ogden, Jan. 12. Special. Memories
of '48, of Pike's peak, of Leadville and
the Black hills are recalled by the San
Juan gold excitement. . Reports differ
widely concerning the extent and profit
ableness of the new placer diggings, but
there seems to be good reason to believe
that there has been an important dis
covery. The fact that this discovery is
in a region comparatively new to gold
hunters will intensify Interest and aug
ment the belief that another El Dorado
has been found.' 'The fact that a new
gbld field is near the Carrizo mountains
will lead to' a thorough exploration of
the mountains' by gold hunters. This
will settle the question1 as to whether
there is gold in the mountains or. not.
An important gold discovery would be a
most excellent thing for the world at
large.; It might prevent the further pal
ling apart of the relative values of gold
ana silver. .-
Tne Dalles Markets.
Thobbday, Jan. 12. This week ia a
repetition of the former in business cir
cles in the , city ."'A general complaint
comes in from all quarters of the dull
ness of the season. The only activity is
in the land department where there ia a
rush of persons ' for their final proof on
lands, and especially so of securing titles
to forfeited railroad lands. Which is
limited to the 3d ot next month.- The
inquiry for money on that account has
been met with some difficulty on account
of a stringency that prevails outside of
the bankB. - In some' instances large
bonuses . have been paid. The mer
chandize situation" continues steady
without any material change in prices.
Provisions and staple groceries are in
good stock and prices are steady with an
upward tendency on quotations especi
ally in bacon, hams, and lard, which is
higher than formerly owing to the light
corn crops and the small stock of young
hogs raised the past year in the east.
This staple willrnle high throughout the
coming, season. . A suggestion comes
that our farmers would do better to put
wheat into pork than to put into market
otherwise.
Eggs are in better supply - with a de
cline in quotations in a few days. But
ter remains Bteady at former prices.
Potatoes are in good supply and but
few are moving from outside. Quota
tions are unchanged, other .vegetables
are in -fair supply, and prices more firm.
Poultry of all kinds is in fair supply at
former prices.
The beef and mutton market is quite
steady. The demand for fat beeves is
easily supplied with a good quality.
Mutton sheep that are really fine, find a
ready market for home wants, and. a
better demand for export with firm
prices.
The grain market in Portland is
fluctuating more or less,' having nothing
to report worthy of encouragement
to holders. The eastern and foreign
markets are dull, with occasional spurts
of activity, bat on the whole is weaken
ing in tone. .
The Dalles market is lifeless on former
quotations.';'; . . - '
Condon has decided to incorporate as
a city. The citizens are all down on a
petition for it. -
The Moro band boys are expecting
their instruments . every, day, so as to
make life wearisome and not worth
living to an outsider. , . ' j
''AX. Baker city a shipment of fifteen
carloads of beef cattle is teing fed on
account of the failure of a Puget sound
beef company to come up with the
purchase price of the cattle, the owners
refusing to allow the shipmerit to be
made without some guarantee that their
money will be forthcoming.
The Portland Cracker company which
owns the cracker factories of the north
west, and has recently created consid
erable interest among the trade by cut
ting quite a swath in the confectionery
business, continues its work of absorp
tion, having purchased the candy fac
tories of the Bernheim, Alisky Candy
Co., and J. N. Mathscheck & Co., thus
crushing out competition and becoming
a combination of formidable proportions.

immbla. '
Salxmv, Jan. 11. A flood of bills
again Introduced today, some good, so in
bad, some -indifferent, a great many
these will of course be sacrificed in com
mittee, but every introducer seems- ta
have faith in his measure.
In the senate this morning among th
bills read first time were the. following:
By Bancroft, to regulate assessments ;
by Willis, to establish the port of Colum
bia ; by Matlock, creating an. Oregon;
world's fair commissioner ; by Bancroft,
to punish tampering with railroad tracks ;
by Cameron, establishing a state mining
bureau ; by Weatherford, exempting
homesteads; by Maxwell, fixing salarie
of county treasurers; by Cross, regulat
ing the payment of court clerks.
In the house bills were introduced
and read first time, offered by Merritt
to amend the law on fees of county
officers; by Coon, to prevent sale of
diseased fruit trees ; to define certain
powers of horticulture ; by Baughmanr
to create county boards' of mineralogy;.
by Duncan, for a state board of miner
alogy; to regulate assessment of prop
erty for taxation ; by Brown of Douglas,
to regulate width of wagon tires; by .
Hobbs, to amend law relating to terms
of county officers ; by Northup, to pre
vent sale of unwholesome foods; by
Wright of Marion, to appropriate $60,-
000 for the worlds fair; by Paxton, re
lating to appeals in justice courts ; to
amend the constitution ; to amend the
law relating to the selection of grand
and trial jurors ; by Lamson, to amend
the code relating to assessments, road
law ; by Miller of Linn, relating to text
books for schools. '
Joint resolutions were introduced by
Northup : One to amend the constitu
tion relating to aliens holding property,
adopted; one to amend the constitution
relating to free negroes or mulatto.
adopted ; one to amend the constitution,
relating to suffrage, striking out the-
word white, to change the time of resi
dences of foreigners from one to three-,
years, and - for" a registration law.
adopted. - '
A bill will be introduced in the Olvm-
pia legislature abolishingpoll tax ; also
one that in incorporated cities there-
shall be but one assessment for munici
pal, county and state taxes. Such alaw
would no doubt operate well in this
state. Take it in The Dalles, for in
stance, ' we - have three assessments;
county, city and school. And the poll
tax arrangement as it is worked is a .
fraud of the biggest sort. Wasco county,
with a population less than, one-third as
large as that of Multnomah, pays mora
poll tax than does the larger eoanty,
while others with far less population
than The Dalles have more polls assessed
than does Wasco county.
A new "nickel in the slot"' machine
was on exhibition at The Umatilla a
few evenings since which is quite a.
curiosity. By expending five cents and
turning a crank one is dealt a poker
hand by the machine, the cards turning
on a cylinder. The player can then
discard by touching buttons, and an
other turn of the crank completes his
hand. The machine, of course, "deals
on the square," and the ' result is di
rected by pure luck. ' The apparatus is
designed to provide amusement ' only.
