BATDRDAY. - - FEBRUARY 22, 1896
WANTED A MAN.
At a dinner recently given him in
London by Henry M. Stanley, M. Dau-
det remarked : "What we lack ia the
directing gen in9; a man of our own race
having yonr wonderful qualities of initi
ative, firm shoulders, ready to stand the
-weight of great responsibilities. For we
have good blood, valiant blood, but the
man we have not got." The Paris cor
respondent of the London Times de
clares t.'at ever sicca France conclu
sively shook off one master she has been
in search of another. This is what M.
Daudet calls "a man." France has had
one only at rare intervals. She has had,
indeed, many men, but the man dreamed
of by the national instinct and yearned
for by M. Daudet was Charlemagne,
Henry IV, Richelieu, Napoleon. Some
Bay that Gambetta, had be lived long
enough, would have been in the list.
Neither Louis XI, nor . Francis I, nor
even Louis XIV, though these were
great men, was the guiding genius, the
man of initiative and responsibility, the
deliverer. Now, the best thing for
France and for her steady progress
-would be a deliverer from the passion of
clamoring for a deliverer.
' There is a lesson in the above quota
tions for Oregonians. We do not cry
"Wanted a Man" on general princi
ples as we have cried, certain cliques
and poBses of us, Eurely, "Let us eend
East after a man," disregarding thus
wholly the lesson of experience, dearly
learned and paid for in some well-known
cases, tho old-time mental habit ori
ginating in the days when we were a
feeble folk and few, of considering that
every good thing comes from the rising
eun country. For all good things tbey
eend ns, let us be devoutly thankful, but
before "Eending East for a man" let us
carefully inspect what we have on the
ground ready to hand. This will serve
ns well in many directions, the obvious
ness of which will not need to be point
ed out to some who are just now suffer
ing from ill-considered action in this re
spect. Within the memory of some of the
youngest of us this eanie mental habit
prevailed in what we now call the East.
Then "Boston" was nowhere, and the
"man" wanted mnst hail from across
the Atlantic. Sometimes great good
came in this way, as the loving memory
in which Princeton etudents cherish the
same of Dr. McCosh will attest. The
many, many failuves are not reported.
THE COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
The benefits that will be derived from
the Commercial Club were clearly dem
onstrated last evening by the meeting
which was held to consider the report of
the special committee appointed to ex
amine the situation at the locks. The
citizens of The Dalles were given an op
portunity to meet together and discuss a
matter of vital importance to the city
and the country for which it is the en
trepot. The work of the committee was
thoroughly done, and everyone who has
listened to their conclusions has a clear
Idea of the situation at the Cascades.
We are inclined to favor the resolution
adopted last evening as being one of
the means by which the people of East
ern Oregon will be brought to a realiza
tion of the great need for quick action
towards securing the appropriation nec
essary to place the locks beyond the
danger limit. It is but little over a
month till an attempt will be m ado to
operate the locks, and such action
should now be taken that if the attempt
fails no time will be lost in applying the
remedy. It is idle now to speculate
over the mistakes that have been made.
Te construction of the locks has been
Teplete with blunders some, it will be
declared, intentional; others through
ignorance. It seems more than proba
ble that the neglect of the engineers to
provide for walls of masonry between
the gates will prove an egregrious mis
take, but the thing to be done is not to
discuss past shortcomings so much as to
provide how they may be made whole.
No pressure too strong can be brought
upon our delegation to spur them to
ceaseless work till the needed appropri
ation shall be secured. The action of
our Commercial Club should, be en
dorsed and similar moves made by like
organizations in the cities along the
river. The agitation must begin at
once and continue earnestly if it will
bear fruit.
The fiasco yesterday between the
brawling bruisers, who too long have
sickened the public with their mouth-
ings, sounds the knell of pugilism as an
institution to be tolerated by the Ameri
can public, After being hounded from
place to place by the officers of the law,
the prizefighters were hurried to an ob
scure spot, and in less than two minutes
one of the bruisers bit the dust. No
greater aid to the abolition of slugging
matches could come than the speedy
way in which Fitzsimmons put an end
to his opponent. As a conclusion to
months of boastful wrangling it was a
most dismal one, and whoever attempts
to arrange another prize fight will have
difficulty in eliciting enthusiasm, even
among the sports to whom such things
are food. The decline of pugilism will
be witter than the passing of horse
racin- and its attendant evils.

Fitzsimmons Wins.
Laxgtby, Feb. 21. The following is
the result of the Fitzsimmons-Maher
prize fight, by rounds:
Fitz led and reached Maher's body
Maber returned on the neck; Bob feint
ed and led his left direct irto Maher's
wind, then followed with a vicrous right-
hand swing on the jaw. It was all .over
and George Siler handed Fitz the purse
containing $10,000. The kinetoscope
photographed the mill.
Later The authorities are on the
track of principals and witnesses, and
declare all shall suffer alike. There is a
strong possibility of trouble before night.
The betting was all in favor of Fitzsim
mons at odds of two to one.
