FRIDAY,

HARDLY A POSSIBILITY.
The report is out that Quay is after
the presidential nomination. Like the
news that the snltan was poisoned it
will probably be' denied in the next
issue. Quay is too shrewd a man ever
to think himself a presidential possibil
ity. Ho has attained prominence and
political position not through any ability
for handling weighty questions, bnt be
cause he is a smooth politician, a manip
ulator of men and, a shrewd judge of
character and events. This latter pos
session has long ago enabled him to form
a pretty good judgment of just what sort
of a man Matt Quay is and just how far
he can impose himself upon the people.
Quay has never done anything worthy
of a seat in the senate. He is as good a
man as Brice, Gorman, Smith or a
number other politicians, who have
crept into places once honored by able
men, but Quay can give no good reason
lor his being a United States senator.
His candidacy fjr the presidency exists
probably in the mind of some newspaper
correspondent. Were it true it would be
a severe ' reflection npon American
politics that such a politician could be
seriously mentioned for this high office.
Quay may receive the complimentary
vote of Pennsylvania, since, lamentably,
it is true that politically he is the
biggest dog in the puddle, bnt when
Qqay leaves the domain of politics and
essays to be a statesman, his position is
ludicrous. If ever the time cornea that
men of Quay's stamp role iu the White
House, it is time to shut up ship and
annex ourselves to Hawaii.

If John Sherman writes many more
books between now and next June, Wil
liam McKinley wiil wish his campaign
were fathered by Bomeone else than the
venerable senator from Ohio. If the
prominent ' republicans who have felt
Sherman's keen thrusts, believe that
McKinley is his honest choice, they will
be apt to sharpen their knives just to
add another to the list of Sherman's
disappointments in connection with the
presidency. While it is. perhaps, un
fortunate that the venerable statesman
did not wait a few years longer before
writing his memoirs, yet this possible
indiscretion will not detract from the
greatness of Sherman's name, nor pre
vent the wish that there were more men
in public life like him.
Here are three facts and a conclusion
which every voter should remember.
They are taken from the Miami, Ohio,
Helmet, and are more convincing than
volumes of talk. "The" deficit in the
United States treasury for the first 20
days of October was $11,274,694.70. For
the fiscal year, since July came in, f21f
157 ,352.91. For the term of President
Cleveland since March 4, 1893, $133,
765,836 57. That is, our expenditures
have excesded our receipts by that
much. Now the man who wants to con
tinue this memory policy, in the future
should, vote the democratic ticket."
The last grand jury made a right
move in the direction of economy
when it called attention to the manner
in which justice court expenses were
piling up. At the September term of
the county court over $1,000 was allowed
for expenses in the justice courts alone.
Justice is rare in Wasco county, but the
taxpayers pay enough to get a large
measure.

Your sermons" to our . farmers read
very nice in print, but they appesr to
lack sincerity.
Goldendale Sentinel: To the SeDli
nel it has been somewhat amusing to
read n the diffierent Darers that come
to "hit desk the objections to the boat
rail ay proposed to be built by the gov
ernment around the obstructions in the
Columbia above The Dalles, the comple
tion of which would make an open river
from Lewistown to the sea.
Why any one should not concur in the
recommendations of the government en
gineers we fail to comprehend, unless it
be that this is the quickest and most
practicable way of overcoming the ob
structions to the navigation of the up
per Columbia, thus at an early day les
sening the traffic of the railroad and to a
noticeable extent the shipping of our
products from present markets below
these obstructions. -
We have had the experience of canal
building at the Cascades; we know the
cost and the time it has laken to ' com
plete snch a great undertaking, and that
only for a short distance when compared
with the length of canal it would require
to go around the upper falls and rapids.
The question arises when would the
second canal . be finished, the first re
quiring twenty years. It would be sur
prising if the work would be completed
and the river opened before the middle
of the twentieth century. . -
