MEMORIAL DAY.
Memorial day was fittingly obseryed
in The Dalles. Besides the usual ser
vices, of the G. A. R. post, the people
generally observed the day, flags flying
at half mast in all quarters of the city,
the stores remaining closed during the
afternoon and the newspapers suspend
ing publication for the day. The citi
zens needed not to be reminded that the
day was not a jubilant holiday, even the
children appreciating the sacredness of
its meaning and their usual boisterous
demonstrations were hushed during the
march of the handful of veterans, who
with martial tread preceeded by a drum
corps, took their solemn march to the
-burial ground in reverent love and es
teem for the gallant men who offered
their lives in defense of the Union an
the flag, and who are now bivouacke
forever-
"On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac of the dead."
This is the day which John A. Logan,
the old grand commander of the G. A.
K., twenty-five years ago designated for
the purpose of strewing with flowers or
otherwise decorating the graves of com
rades who died in defense of their coun
try during the late rebellion, and whose
bodies now lie in almost every village
and hamlet churchyard in the land.
Year by year the living ranks are being
decimated by death. Few there are now
who would be accepted for service in
another war, and poon all will aross to
that silent shore to join those gone be
fore. If the state boundaries are to be
changed let us not increase the size of
the state, which is already too large, but
rather diminish it.- Eastern Washing
ton added to Eastern Oregon would
make a stretch of country about 500
miles long by air line north and south,
with an average width of 300 miles east
and west. This is too great an expanse
of territory, in view of the rapid settle
ment, to be presided over by one seat of
government. The Columbia river is a
natural boundary and the preponder
ance of opinion, when it comes to a vote,
will prove this to be true. Eastern
Washington are not even as willing for
the combination as Eastern Oregon,
while the clash of interests of the Pnget
sound with those of the Columbia river
and its ocean harbors will as effectual h
prevent a unification of territory on the
west. Hence the question of boundaries
will be left for each state to solve, and
will not be one for their joint considera
tion. It is a great pity that the Oregon Na
tional Guards could not have shown the
old soldiers the trifling honor of escort
ing them to the cemetery, on their mis
sion of decorating the graves of their de
parted comrades. Of all times and
places this was pre-eminently where
they should have been yesterday. The
men who fought, bled and died that the
nation might be saved for these grace
less scamps, have a right to expect more
than that. They are passing away ; in
a few years they will have all been gone ;
a great number of them are tremulous
with age, or unfeebled by wounds and
suffering. Company A, Third Regiment
O. N. G. may well blush for shame that
the handful of men in The Dalles who
have survived the struggles of the war
of '61-'65, marched alone to the ceme
tery, the lesson of their patriotism so
soon forgotten. Whither are we drift
ing? "The treasury today purchased 416,
600 ounces of silver." "So says a Wash
ington dispatch of yesterday. Now, will
any one explain why, with millions of
ounces of silver on hand, the treasury
bought these 416,500 ounces and paid
for them in notes that are practically
redeemable in gold. Astorian.
We will try. There was an act passed
in 1890 called the Sherman act, which
provides that the government shall buy
4,500,000 ounces of silver each month,
paying for them in treasury notes.
There are several newspapers who have
heard of this and at odd times have com
mented on its wisdom very caustically.
We will save some of these clippings up
and send them to you the next time we
come across aay of them.

Chicago Horse Market.
J. S. Cooper, commission salesman of
horses, Union Stock Yards, Chicago,
says :
"The receipts for the opening of the
week fell considerably short of the pre
vious couple of weeks, and as there were
many new buyers on the market, prices
stiffened at least 10 per cent, over last
week's quotations. Drivers, as usual
of late, commanded most attention and
sold at prices generally -conceded the
equal of the highest .prevailing so far
this spring. Good smooth chunks,
11001300 lbs., also sold well, and
streeters, so much depressed for two
weeks back, sold freely, $10 to $12.50
per head better."
Heavy draft horses in very limited de
mand, and common, thin horses as
usual, hard sellers at low prices.

A Literary Sensation.
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" has certainly
broke loose!" The copyright on this
most famous of American novels, by
Mrs. Stowe, has recently expired, which
frees its publication from the monopoly
of the high-priced publishers, and
though in anticipation of this fact they
have within a few months greatly re
duced its price, now that it is really
"unchained" the consequences are
something surprising. John B. Alden,
Publisher, of New York, issues several
editions, selling them only direct (not
through agents or book sellers) ; one in
good type, paper covers, for 5 cents, sent
post-paid, or the same bound in cloth
for 10 cents with postage 7 cents extra ;
also an excellent large-type edition, on
fine paper, handsomely bound in cloth,
for the price of 25 cents, postage 10
cents. Surely a copy of "Uncle Tom's
Cabin" will soon be found in every home
where it is not already. t Mr. Alden
sends a 32-page pamphlet describing
many of his publications free, or a cata
logue of 128 pages of choice books, a
veritable "literary gold mine" for book
lovers, for 2 cents. Address John B.
Alden, Publisher, 57 Rose St., New
York.
