THE PASSING OF THE TURK.
The situation in Turkey is grave.
After a period too long of waiting the
European powers have given warning to
the sultan that protection must be given
to Christians in Armenia, and that law
and order must again be maintained in
that por tion of the Turkish empire. The
task of the sultan is daily becoming
more difficult. He has delayed and tem
porized, making promises and breaking
them, till the civilized nations consider
his word of less account than the prom
lsed faith of the Carthagmeans. It is
probable that things have gone tco far for
the old order of government long to con
tinue. Foreign complications are not all
that are bothering the head of the Turk
ish government. Domestic diseensions
have aiisen which threaten to tear the
empire from within, while the pieces'
will fall into the hands ot the powers on
the outside. The members of the sul
tan's army and navy, who long have
been waiting Tor a chance to revolt against
their decrepit master,see an opportunity
in the present complication to gain their
desired end. The soldiers and even the
attaches of the sultan in the imperial
palace are showing signs of revoltand
today's dispatches convey the intelli
gence that an outbreak is liable at any
moment to occur among those upon
whom the sultan is most dependent for
safety.
It is now beyond doubt that before the
century shall close, the map of Europe
will appear different from what it does
today. There is no allay strong enough
to support the tottering ruin of govern
ment, once so powerful, but now so
weak and it is doubtful if any nation
would want the task even if it were able.
The present situation may be comprom
ised and the cringing sultau given a
longer lease of life,, but the body politic
is too feeble to regain its lost vitality
and at the best the day of dissolution is
but a short while delayed. When the
Turkish government shall have fallen a
great drama of history will be closed and
the crescent placed above 5t. Sophia in
1453, will be replaced by the etandard of
some other nation. The passing of the
Turk, while of historical importance,
will create little sympathy from the
world at lareo.
and during their whole lives have wheat
hauled thirty miles over a rocky
mountain to The Dalles. If we can hayo
nothing else, a wagon road can be built
to Lyle that will be free of boulders and
sand and on easy grades. What The
Dalles must do to become a ehipping
point of importance for all time is to
build branch lines iuto the interior, one
tapping the country north of her and the
other south. Theee would make of her
no mean shipping point and would bring
to her each coining year increased wealth
and prosperity.
As we have said, The Dalles is letting
the opportunities pass and perhaps has
already done so. This applies especially
to the loss in the near future of the
major portion of the trade of Klickitat
county. We are doing what we can to
bring greater prosperity to our "com
munity, and if we succeed in having a
railroad built from Lyle into this valley
and for that reason The Dalles is notable,
in the near future, to handle the im
mense product of Klickitat county, she
will have no one to blame but herself.
It was in her power to inaugurate a
movement which would build a road
from The Dalles, pass through the Klick
itat valley and tap the Northern
Pacific,' and our citizens would have as
sisted her in this enterprise.
If the Chronicle classes us for one
moment among the "worst enemies" of
The Dalles, it knows not what it does.
We would like to EeeThe Dalles as pros
perous in the future as she is at present.
We have, only good wishes for her wel
fare, for we share to some extent in her
prosperity. She is our near neighbor
and a municipality of our sister state
whereof the editor of - this sheet was a
resident for almost a quarter of a cen
tury ; .and why, therefore, should we be
an enemy of her whose drowsiness la
stunting her future growth. What we
wish is that Goldendale were as well
locate I for a great city as the village at
the head of steamboat navigation on the
Columbia.

THE DALLES' FUTURE.
The Goldendale Sentinel has the fol
lowing article upon the future of The
Dalles, which is written in a friendly
vein, and enables us to see ourselves as
others see us:
We had hoped that tho little sqnib re
garding the futnre of The Dalles would
not only be amusing but contain suffi
cient facts that would make tho citizens
of that community realize that the op
portunities to make The Dalles a large
city may soon he gone forever. The
fact ia The Dalles is now so prosperous it
is hard for some to see wby she should
not always be so. As long as she is at
the bead of steamboat navigation and
can pay prices that other shipping points
cannot, thus bringing trade to her
that would naturally go elsewhere,
she will thrive and grow; but the
Columbia will be opened clear
through, for as yet but two counties,
Klickitat aDd Wasco, are receiving any
benefits from the river. Therefore the
time is not far distant when it will not
pay to haul "wheat to The Dalles, for
nearer markets will offer such prices
tijat the farmers cannot afford to go
that distance.
We aeree with the Chronicle that "It
is true there are some things The Dalles
could do to increase its commercial im
portance, such as the building of some
new roads and the repairing of old ones."
This is gooi as far as it goes, but our
citizens will not be content to Bit idly by
The congressional contest has opened
in earnest. " If the ratio of increase in
budding candidates .keeps up. with the
number that have been announced the
last -veek, there will be almost as many
candidates as delegates to vote for them.
The extreme eastern portion of the state
is proliiic in aspirants. Umatilla county
has Judge Fee; Morrow presents her
favorite son, Congresr-nian Ellis; Baker
county wants John L. Rand and now
Union county comes to the front and
says John A. Wright, its representa
tive in use legislature, would make a
good congressman. He is championed
by the Est Oregon Republican, who
says of him, "He is one of the brightest
republicans in Oregon and tho party
would make no mistake in nominating
him for this honored trust." As a nom
ination next spring is equivalent to an
election in June, the omce will not go
begging. There are several counties yet
to hear from, not among the least being
Multnomah and Wasco.
lnrougu tue carelessness ot one man
in Detroit forty people have been hurled
to eternity. Although the culprit may
escape punishment for his criminal
negligence, he will have a load to carry
through life which will never become
lighter. It is to be honed this flagrant
act will not be nll-wed to eo unpunished
Society needs protection from the almost
willfully careless man as well as it does
from the designing criminal.
