WON BY DIPLOMACY.
Whether or not the first news that
came from Constantinople, stating that
Russia and Turkey had formed an alli
ance for offensive and defensive pur
poses, should be modified into the state
ment that only an understanding of
policy and action exists between them,
the report is of the greatest interest to
: the civilized world. The dissolution of
Turkey must be postponed for a longer
time, though it is delayed now by Rus
sia, and not by England, which in the
past has been the preserver of this mori
bund monarchy. Tho alliance with
Russia was the only way left for the
sultan to act. Independence was im
possible, and an alliance with any power
Bave that of Russia would not have been
permitted by the czar. As a vassal of
Russia the worn-out government of Tur
key can continue a while longer till
some opportunity is presented, when
the whole machinery of the sultan's ad
ministration will be stopped and Tur
key lose its name as it has parted with
Its independence.
Time bungs curious changes, and
Russia has obtained by diplomacy what
eke could not by force of arms.. Rus
sia's attempt to gain an outlet . from the
Black Sea plunged Europe into the
bloody Crimean war, a conflict that
gave opportunity for the display of
strategy and shining examples of hero
ism, bnt whose results were negative,
only postponing the events for which
the time was not then ripe, but which
.had to come and which, from there
ports of the last few days, are now con
summated. : ,.. i
The opportunity is opened for the
clash of arms, for which Europe has
been preparing for a score of years, and
which needed a less occurrence than
this "understanding" between Turkey
. and Russia to percipitate.
that those who go to war must have.
"It is an ill wind that blows nobody
good." .
The Hood River Glacier, in a friendly
spirit, favors The Dalles as the place of
holding the next Republican state con
vention. Eastern Oregon is entitled to
this honor, and the bunchgrass cities
should be given a chance. As The
Dalles is the first in geographical posi
tion, the convention, if it comes east of
the Cascades, should be held here.
Two years from now Pendleton would
have a valid claim. If all the Eastern
Oregon, cities will give their support to
The Dalles, this place can secure the
convention. Next time we will return
the favor. An earnest presentation of
oar claims at the meeting of the state
committee,' backed up by the Bolid sup
port of Eastern Oregon committeemen,
will secure the honor.
Wheat has become tired of waiting for
a European war, and is taking a rise on
its own account. Fifty cents a bushel
will cause no complaint, but 60 will be
better. Those who have held their
wheat will have made good interest on
the investment.
Much as this Yankee nation showed
its determination and, in some instances,
inclination, to fight over the Venezuelan
affair, there are none of us who, if war
is to come, would not rather see it
fought on the fields of Europe. The en
terprising Yankee is thinking that if a
' European war is coming, we Americans
can occupy the position of disinterested
spectators, at the same time taking the
opportunity of bringing back gold in ex
change for wheat and other necessities
Mr.
Peter Oodfrey Manes Some Caustic
Remarks.
Editob Chronicle: ;
Seeing in your issue of January 15th
that the road through Thompson's Ad
dition was in a fearful condition and has
been the cause of numerous complaints,
I would like you to state if its condition
was any worse through '95 than it has
been for the last ten or twelve years.
I went over it every week,- and when
ever it needed repairs, they were done.
Some of your streets in The Dalles are as
bad, or even worse, than Thompson's
Addition. .' ,'
Now, if your Commercial Club is suf
fering so for exercise, and to do good for
the country, let them get a dozen
shovels at The Dalles and keep the
money at home, in place of sending it to
Chicago for a bowling allej , and Btart in
at The Dalles, right at home. After
they get the mud out there, if they want
to do some more good for the country,
come to Thompson's Addition and take
the road on out with their shovels.
That would bave more effect than wind
in newspapers. I kept the road through
Thompson's Addition and ten miles out
in repair through '95, and am willing to
leave it to people who pass over it if the
condition was not as good, if not better,
in '95 than it generally is.
