resent the business solidity of the town
Pendleton, La Grande, Baker City,
Walla Walla and other places, no greater
than The Dalles, have these organiza
tions, and find in them an opportunity
for good to the town. Now that the pro
ject has been started, it must not be al
lowed to drop. Every business man
should lend hearty eupport to the new
organization.
The Dalles has long needed a board of
trade or a commercial duo. it now
Tooks as if it were going to get what has
been one ot its greatest needs.
Commencing
OPERH
POLITICAL NEGLECT.
It is quite true, and the fact has deep
significance, as ex-President Harrison
observes in a recent magazine article,
that "God has never endowed any
statesman or philosopher, nor any body
of them, with wisdom enough to frame
system of government that everybody
could go off an. I U-bvo." There jb, says
the Globe-I)f in crat, a constant and
BArmna np-f"!itv of watchfulness on the
part of thoi-e w ho are affected by its
operations, particularly under euch a
BcRtem as ours. The machinery is not
so organized that it can be relied upon
to render the desired Eervice by virtue
of its own inherent power. It is only
what the men make it who are intrusted
with the control and direction of it, and
what it is permitted to be by the people.
The idea of the delegation of authority
to chosen political agents does not carry
wtth it the condition of exemption for
citizens from duty and responsibility
They are still in honor bound to exer
cise unremitting vigilance with regard
to the manner in which public affairs
are conducted. They have not the right
and thev cannot afford to assume an at
titude of indifference in that respect.
'It is not enough," as Mr. Harrison
navs. "lo construct and to start." There
must be close supervision to insure sue
cess, and no opportunity to encourage
faithful officers or to condemn delin
quent ones should go unimproved. The
obligation of personal attention never
ceases. It is the basis of good citizen
ebip, and cannot be safely or excusably
disregarded on any occasion.
The American people, have the repu
tation of taking more interest in politics
than those of any other country ; but as
a matter of fact, this interest is apt to
be only spasmodic, generally speaking
and not regular and persistent. When
there is a president to be elected, for In
stance, they rally to the eupport of their
respective parties in a zealous way, and
as long as the campaign lasts the air is
filled with political enthusiasm. But
after the election, calmness and luke
warmnesa ensue, and nobody seems con
cerned about the matters that so recent
ly caused so much activity and excite
ment. This comparative lethargy usu
ally continues until the time draws near
for another casting of votes, and mean
while gross abuses often creep into the
processes of legislation and administra
tion, and trusted agents turn out to be
disappointing because they have not
been properly watched. The average
citizen is absorbed in bis private busi
ness to an extent that practically sus
pends his relation to politics, and the
public interests are left to the mercy of
circumstances. Prof. Bryce related,
with an accent of surprise, that when he
was in this country he traveled clear
across the continent without once hear
ing a word spoken on any political topic.
His experience is hardly to be taken as
a constant illustration; but it is true,
" unquestionably, that there is a prevail
ing disposition, except at certain inter
vals, to subordinate politics to other
subjects.
This form of neglect, this evasion of
duty and responsibility, is the source of
most of our political evils and misfor
tunes. We allow mistakes to be made
and wrongs to be perpetrated that
might be prevented. The theory that
what is everybody's business is nobody's
business blunts the sense of needfulness
and provides chances for mischief to
j take root and grow.

If suffering with piles', it will interest
you to know that De Witt's Witch Hazel
Salve will cure them. This medicine is
a specific for all complaints of this char
acter, and if instructions (which arr
simple) are carried out, a cure will re
sult. We have tested this in numerous
cases, and alwavs with like results. It I
never fails. Snipes-Kinersly Drug Co.
The steamer Sarah Dixon, which tem
porarily is under charter, by The Dalles
Portland and Astoria Navigation Com
pany had a rather lively time on the
lower river during the hurricane, of
which mention was made yesterday.
The wind began blowing as soon as the
Dixon left Portland" and continued ti 1
Cascades was reached. The elements
were out in full force and the steamer
had to force her way through a young
tornado. Although the wind was blow
ing against her all the time, under the
skillful management of Capt. Johnson
and his assistants, the Dixon arrived at
the Locks without any" material delay.
Flood nor wind cannot keep tiie D. Pg &
A. N. Co. from doing what it starts out
to do.
