WHAT GUARANTEE t
The Cascade locks are practically
completed, and there need no longer
be any question about opening the
entire Columbia river to traffic in
time to carry off the crop of this
year. Moro Observer.
Realty ! Well, we are glad to hear
it. Perhaps Mr. Ireland has some
inside information which the rest of
us don't possess. A few months ago
there were a good many people who
thought the locks would be done
this spring, and, if we remember
aright, there was a good deal said
concerning a celebration. Such talk
seems like a burlesque now.
It is true the sundry civil bill has
passed the bouse, been read a second
time in the" senate, and reported
favorably from the committee on ap
propriations. Its chances of passing
the senate are considered good.
Tfcis bill carries an appropriation of
$1 74,593 ufor the completion of the
lock."." "We dislike a pessimist, and
yet we see no particular reason for
"Hoaxing enthusiastic over this $174,
593 appropriation than we did over
the twenty thousand one. "What
guarantee is there that the money
will not , be squandered and misused
as former appropriations have been ?
No confidence exists in the Days or
the board of engineers. What rea
son have we to think the money will
"be used aright ?
Not until the boats from Portland
reach the middle Columbia will
believe that the Cascade locks
any more than a name.
ger of speedy realization.
People should not put too much
faith in the international arbitration
scheme. Its merits are unques
tioned, provided the ends promised
could be attained. War is a last
resort; nations do not rush head
long into conflict, and are especially
loath for battle since the invention
of deadly machinery, which has pro
gressed so rapidly in recent years.
But it is doubtful if any question
which could not be settled by the
means now employed, would tind
settlement in a permanent court of
arbitration.
Little harm can come from the
proiect, provided we continue the
work of building coast defences and
increasing our army and navy. But
let us not trust too much to inter
national arbitration, for in our hour
of need our trust may fail.
The Connecticut Republican con
vention declared for sound money
and protection. These are the
watchwords for true Republicans
throughout the country. ' Just be
cause the Oregon Republicans made
the mistake ot nominating a con
gressional candidate whose record
on the financial question is not all
that could be desired, is no reason
why Republicans should be advised
to vote against him. This is not the
way to achieve success or help on
the cause of protection, which after
all is the great issue before the coun
try.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.
Among the most interesting move
ments which have taken place jn re
ent years is the one looking to the
establishment of an international
court of arbitration, which shall set
tle the disputes as they arise between
the nations of the earth. Thirty
years ago such a project would be
dorrinated a dream a fancy from
Utopia that codld hardly call forth
the consideration of serious-minded
. men; but with constant agitation
and the further thought that the
United States is illy piepared at the
present time to protect its rights and
enforce its demands by warfare, the
project has assumed tangible shape.
At the conference now being held
in Washington men distinguished in
various walks of life -are present and
lend their labors to the fulfillment of
the cause. Various speeches have
been made deprecating the brutal
ity and uncivilized method of
settling disputes by force, and the
believers in a possible universal
peace seize the opportunity to pre
sent arguments for a cause which,
bowever attractive it may be from
an ethical standpoint, is in little dan-j
The Oregonian is supporting the
Democratic nominee for congress in
the Second district. It may not be
doing so avowedly, but by advising
its- readers not to vote for Ellis, the
effect is the same. The Oregonian
is a "bolter," the same sort of a
reereant it condemned certain mem
bers of the last legislature for being.
To the ordinary mind there is little
distinction between bolting a caucus
nominee and a candidate named by
a convention. It is a question if
politically the man who has the ill
will of the Oregonian is not to be
considered lucky.
The amount of warrants outstand
ing against the city of Tacoma ex
ceeds $1,200,000. The city debt is
$252,422 in excess of the legal
limit. This is the direct result
of over booming. The debt of The
Dalles is already large enough.
What would it have been if we had
bad a boom ?
Pendleton is advertising herself as
the great wool market, of Eastern
Oregon. Wait until the returns for
the present season are in and see
how many million pounds Pendleton
will be behind The Dalles.
Blakeley & Houghton desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a letter
of Cbas. M. Gatfeld of Reedley, Fresno
county, Calif., as they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a eplended medicine it is :
"It is with pleaeure 1 tell you that by
one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My bead was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to the .throat and lungs. By
using this .remedy freelv as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
