MR. GLADSTONE.
England is just now in the midst of
one' of its frequent changes of adminis
tration, the liberals having suffered de
feat Friday in the house of 'commons.
According to political custom this ne
cessitates the resignation of the liberal
cabinet and the formation of a cabinet j
from the opposition. Only a few months
Mr. Gladstone, the greatest leader the
liberal party has ever had, retired from
its leadership because of infirmity and
age. When be left parliament the great
est man in Europe, in respect to states
manship, literary attainment and force
of character was supposed to have per
manently laid down the great labors and
: responsibilities of English governmental
affairs; but now the party be has so
long led looks to him for counsel and
leadership.
' Mr. Gladstone was born in 1809, and
is therefore 86 years of age. He entered
parliament very early in life, at the
time when Sir Robert Peel was a great
leader, and, in the words of Macaulay,
has been a dlstingued debater in the
house of commons ever since he was 21
years of age. He began as a tory, giv
ing promise of becoming one of tbeir
greatest leaders. He closed bis career
as the most efficient and boldest oppo
nent the royalty of England has thus
far known. While his career has not
been consistent,, that is, not governed
throughout by tne same yiews of public
policy, no one has ever accused him of
dishonesty of purpose or inconsistency,
as that term .is usually applied to the
ac's of politicians
; Notwithstanding his constant atten
tion to governmental affairs, he has been
able to contribute much to the study of
classical literature and mythology, and
his literary work will stand as long as
literature is studied, a splendid monu
ment to a great intellect. Though a
politician from boyhood, and although
so much of his time has been given to
the study of classics, he has found time
for careful study of religious subjects,
and bis broad conception and true in
terpretation of the spirit of the Chris-
. tian religion has placed him among its
greatest advocates and writers, and his
work' in this direction has done much
to recommend ' Christianity to the
thoughtful students of all nations, and
place it the foremost of religions in in
fluence for good to men.
In view of his long service, his age and
feebleness, it will be most remarkable
should he again accede to the wishes of
his old followers and re-enter public
..life. Were Mr. Gladstone twenty years
younger, there would be a strong proba
bility that he would live to see home
rule In Ireland and the abolition of the
house of lords, two things which he
aimed at during his last years in parlia
ment. .''
NEW YORK POLICE COMMISSION.
Not before within the present century
has the New York police department
been in the hands of men of , national
repute as leaders in civil service reform
and administrative ability. Theodore
Kosevelt, who resigned a position on the
national civil service board at Washing
ton to accept the appointment of police
- commissioner of his-owa city ; Col. Fred
D. Grant, formerly minister to Austria ;
Mr. A. D. Andrews, a graduate of West
Point and a lawyer of prominence, and
Mr. A. D. Barker, constitute the new
board.
' If the iniquity of the police service of
New York is not wiped out under the
management of these men, there will be
little use of attempting to secure an
honest service. It is certainly a clear
indication that municipal reform has
made rapid strides in the right direc
tion in New York City, and that the
agitation commenced by Dr. Parkhurst
has not been in vain.
FOOLS ARE NOT ALL LEAD YET.
The price of wool keeps going up, and
lias readied ten cents at The Dalles
This is lough on protectionists who have
been preaching that tree trade in wool
would rnin the industry of wool growing
on our public lands. iiooa Kiver Vila
cier. : . '
Yes, the price of wool has been going
up at The Dalles, and has reached the
unheard of price of . ten cents (unheard
of since the Wilson bill went into effect)
and if the price advances a. cent or two
more in the markets of Boston and Phil
adelphia, there will be a flood of foreign
wools poured into this country to meet
the demand; -so says the latest market
reports from those cities. Yes, It is
rough on protectionists. (All wool rais
ers are now protectionists.) We have
been preaching that free trade in wool
would ruin the industry.
Before the democratic party went into
power wool sold in The Dalles (and The
Dalles was not then a competing point
among transcontinental railroads, as
now, and was not the best market on
the coast, as new) for 13 to 20 cents;
now it is from 7 to 10 cents. Sheep sold
at from $3 to $4 per head ; now from
$1.50 to $2. A large sheep raiser from
Crook county, a life-long democrat and
who voted In 1892 with his party, re
cently sold his clip of extra fine and
light wool here for 10 cents. He said to
us that the protection and free trade
controversy was forever settled last fall,
and no party would ever again be fool
enough to advocate free wool. If the
Glacier is in line with its party, and
we suspect from the above that' it is,
our Urook county-friend is mistaken.
But one thing is certain, there are no
more free ; wool men among the sheep
raisers. - f " ' ' '
The democratic orators employed by
the national committee, are actually
coming to this coast. They will avoid
discussing the silver question, and con
fine themselves to "preaching democracy
pure and simple." We are somewhat
surprised at this proposed plan of cam
paign, for we have lately wondered
whether any two democrats in the
county could ; agree what "democracy
pure and simple" is ; yet here are four
men coming to tell us what it is. It will
be well for no two of them to address
the same audience, for we suspect they
ill be very much like the blind men
who went to visit the elephant; each
atterward described him as being like
the particular part they had touched.
We shall await with interest the coming
of these great teachers. There are a
host of ex-democrats in this state who
will be glad to hear described what they
were before the Wilson bill went into
effect democrats pure and simple.
BASEBALL SEASON OPENED.
The Dufur and Hood River Ninas Play
at the Fair Gronads The Scon -
Was 33 to 9.
Yesterday the baseball crank and the
small boy were in their glory; - A game
of ball had been announced to come off
at the fair grounds and in spite of the
wind and dast quite a number climbed
the long hill and proceeded to watch the
contest. It could hardly be called a
league exhibition though the coaching
was loud and terrific, but there was an
airy smoothness with which the ball
would glide from out the player's hands
that would cost .some releases in the
days when Bobby Geis and the other
stalwart players used to make the crowd
howl with delight whenever The Dalles
nine was in the diamond. Still the
Hood River nine put up a good game
and the Dufurs would have done better
if they had practiced more and used
team work to better advantage. , From
the start the reBult of the contest could
clearlv be seen and naturally the sym
pathy of the crowd was with the losing
nine. Some of the visitors from Hood
River did not like the encouragement
which the Dufur boys received, but as
Hood River had the victory it won't be
grudge any shouts which the Dufur boys
received. Some of the plays were very
neat and were appreciated by the
"cranks," but there will have to be a
closer contest to cause much genuinjr in
terest in the game. . The Hood River
boys show careful training, if not this
year, in other years and play together in
the proper way. When the Dufur nine
has practiced more they will be worthy
to meet any foe as some of their players
are individually very good.
The manager of the Hood River club
wishes to challenge any team in Wasco
connty to play the Fourth of July in The
Dalles. . We have the talent . here to
accommodate the at ' if somebody will
agitate the matter. The Chronicle
hopes this challenge will be met.

Chicago Musical News.
The following advertisement has been
given a prominent position in the daily
papers -of Washington, D. C, and has
been printed in the Chicago Musical
News and the American Hebrew News,
of Portland. We desire to call the atten
tion of the public to it.
The unfairness of the assertions it con
tains needs . no emphasizing, for they
will appear at once to the sense of right
inherent in every legitimate dealer in
pianos all over the country :
Next Tuesdav will be a special bar
gain day on pianos at our store. We
have found some grand bargains in new
Upright Pianos (not the celebrated Kim
ball pianos), and propose to give the
public a chance to secure new pianos
next Tuesday at manufacturers' .whole
sale prices.
The prices Tuesday next for these new
elegant Upright pianos will be only $149
and ?lou each. .fart time given it de
sired. ' These pianos will be on exhibit
at our store all day Monday, but no sales
will be made from this lot until Tuesday,
and will continue that day only.

The Kimball Company may regard
such methods as fair and honorable, but
they are open to the severest criticism in
attempting to destroy the piano trade in
Washington after many years of honor
able work to promote it.
The unfairness of the card lies in the
assertion that the pianos which are to
be sold at sacrificial prices are not made
by the Kimball company. Therein is
the poison.
This whole scheme is perpetrated to
give the Kimball pianos a position to
which their merits do not entitle them.
Although the Kimball advertisement de
clares these are not . Kimball pianes
which are to be slaughtered it does not
enhance the value of their own instru-
ments. -
Those who are familiar with the Kim
ball pianos know perfectly well that the
makers can afford to sell them at just
such ruinous prices as are quoted for
other instrnments in their possession at
Washington.
What is there in the Kimball piano to
justify this step? Nothing. :
The Kimball company make one of the
cheapest pianos in the United States
A nd after the Kimball piano is made
ready for the market it is not then worth
a place above a low rank.
When you come to think of it, can you
name any genuine, firttclatt house that it
telling the Kimball pianos t
The Kimball managers may consider
they have made a brilliant stroke, but
they are merely using gigantic power to
foist a cheap make on 'he market. .'
The question is also one of a broader
conception, than mere, local , purview,
finch advertisements as these cut at the
soot of the piano industry for they mis
lead private buyers.-
We shall not let this subject stop here.
It is fraught with grave danger to - the
entire trade, and, although the Kimball
company is composed of schrewd schem
ers, they may find they have far over
stepped the bounds of legitimate busi
ness dealing.
