with rheumatism. His right leg was
swollen the full length, causing him
great suffering. He was advised to try

Mr. James Langille of Hood River, has

deliver a lecture tonight at the Congre
gational church on the subject, ""A New
chapter in American Historv." Presi-

night next. The lecture will be illus

! conclude with a humorous description of

Foresters is said to be next to the Ma

tablished in 1720.
Ground Hoc Day.
This was ground hog day, the day
upon which that weather-observing ani
mal comes out of his winter quarters to
take a look at things in general. It is
claimed that he makes his appearance
promptly at noon, and if he sees his
shadow, returns forthwith to his dormi
tory and tucks himself in his little bed
for a six-weeks nap, knowing that the
weather will not be fit for a hog, ground
or otherwise, to be out m. If he was on
time here today, be at once holed up,
for at noon the sun was shining bright
ly. At the same time W6 noticed that
the part of town near the pines was
iinder a cloud. From this we judge that
we are to have bad weather in this part
of town, while up oh the hill it is going
to be just the other kind.
Taxes ar d Taxes.
The taxes in La Grande, including
the special school tax, amount to 43)
mills ; in Hood River they ara 36 mills ;
in The Dalles it is 32 mills; and so on
throughout the state the tax rate is al
most equal to the interest rate in east
ern states. They are too high now ; but
increased indebtedness and accumulat
ing interest puts them up steadily.
Wasco county is paying $8,000 a year
interest; Dalles is paying, in round
numbers, $9,000 a year for the same
purpose; and tbe school district is pay
ing, we are told, $500. For interest
alone we are paying enough to run the
county. It ,is true two-thirds of the
city debt is for a water supply, which we
could not do without, and its payment
comes in the ehape of water rents, in
stead of under the head of taxes ; but it
smells as savory under either name.
There is but one remedy to utterly
refuse to go further into debt; to prac
tice the most rigid economy; to keep
our tax rate up, and pay off our debts,
Get out, and then keep out. The worst
feature of the whole affair is that the
high taxes prevent the establishment
factories and the starting of new indus
tries. We are thus prevented from sad
dling any portion of our mismanagement
on to someone else. We must meet it
ourselves.

MITCHELL GOT 20 IN THE HOUSE
Senate, by Vote of into 14, Tic Tune to
Vote far Senator.
a special to Tun Chroxiclk, received
:40, says :
House took a ballot for senator at
noon. Thirty members were present
Twenty-nine votes were cast for Mitch'
ell, and one for George H. Williams.
The senate, by a vote of 16 to 14, refused
to vote for senator. This was a vote on
appeal from the decision of the chair
deciding a motion that "the senate pro
ceeu to ballot for a United states sen
tor," as out of order.
IteyettTBTe Tarty Commands.
The Dalles, Feb. 2, 1897.
Editor Chronicle:
The opposition to Senator Mitchell, so
far as it pretends to be based on his
financial record, is, in my judgment,
singularly unfair. It ignores completely
the fitct that the senator was elected six
years ajjo on a platform that declared
unequivocally for the free coinage of
silver, so that in voting for free coinage
the senator was simply obeying the be
hests of his. constituents. The financial
plank of the Oregon State Republican
Convention of 1S90 reads as follows :
"Recognizing the fact that the United
States is the greatest silver producing
country in the world, and that both
gold and -sijver were equally the money
of the constitution from the begin
ning of the republic until the hostile
legislation against silver, which unduly
contracted the circulating medium of the
country; and recognizing that tbe great
interests of the people demand more
money for use in the channels of trade
and commerce; therefore, we declare
ourselves in favor of the free nnd un
limited coinage of silver and denounce
any attempt to discriminate against
silver as unwise and unjust."
On this financial plank was John H.
Mitchell elected to the United States
senate six years ago and no state con
vention of his constituents has ever,
Irem that hour to this, amended tho in
struction it contained for his guidance,
except in so far as the adoption of a
miserable straddle, which meant and
was intended to mean, anything or
nothing at the will of the interpreter,
may be said to be an amendment. Now
if the resolutions of state conventions
are intended to govern tho action of
legislators, who is to blame if legislators
govern themselves by them? The Pop
ulist, Jonathan Bourne, who headed op
position to Senator Dolph two yearsago,
grounded his opposition on the fact that
Dolph had ignored the state platform of
his party and voted on every oppor
tunity for tbe existing gold standard.
Bourne is now the tool and leader of a
faction who oppose Senator Mitchell
because he did what Senator Dolph re
fused to do. Bourne may have his own
personal pique to gratify, and doubtless
has, but this is the basis of the onpo
sition of which the Oregonian is the
mouthpiece. I regret as much as any
man living, that Senator Mitchell should
have ever been on the wrong side of the
money question ; but my native sense of
fair play revolts at joining a factional
rabble in blaming him for following the
instructions of his party. I cannot
join with' those who would make the
senator a scape goat for bearing away
the Bins of the Oregon state Republican
convention. When the St. Louis con
vention declared against independent
free coinage, Mr. Mitchell was free to
follow the course of Teller, Dubois,
Squire, el hoc genus omne. He refused,
and, taking off his coat, worked as hard
as anyone for the Republican platform
and the Republican ticket. Had Mr.
Mitchell followed the course of those
just mentioned and worked as they did
for Bryan, Oregon might be today in the
ranks of the fiee Eilver states. Now
that Mr. Mitchell's allegiance to party
has placed him between, the "devil" of
factional hate and "the deep blue sea"
of Bourne Populism, he. is entitled all
the more to the confidence and support
of the party whose principles he has re
fused to surrender. Senator Mitchell is
in no way responsible for tho legislative
hold-up, He has had at all times the
support of a majority of the members
oi Dotn nouses, mere was no possible
way for his enemies to defeat him ex-
i cept by preventing the organization of
! the house; a dernier resort, in my judg
i mailt, both desperate and dishonorable,
I as some of the conspirators will discover
if they ever appeal to their constituents
for justification. JIuaii Gouklay.
TO MAKE DIAMONDS.
SclentUt Wb Will Utilize Niagara
for TliU furiu.
A Washington scientist will build a
laboratory at Niagara Falls and use the
current for crystallizing pure carbon
into diamonds of great size. While it
bas been possible for some years to
make diamonds by using carbon, those
made have been too small to be of any
commercial value, Yet, it is now as
serted by tbe scientist of Washington
that he has devised a plan by which
the precious stono can be made of any
ir.o wished, says the Washington
Herald.
1 Tho diamonds heretofore mndo were
jinecd by using impure carbon, that of
commerce, such as willow charcoal. But
Dr. B. II. Johnstone, of Washington,
d scards such old-fashioned method;,
a id will use only the element provided
by nature that Is, iho pure carbon
found in mines all over the country.
Real diamonds those dug in their not
ural slate aro merely the crystallizt-
tion ol this pure curbon, made by a pro
cess which is supposed to have occupied
many millions of years.
Dr. Johnstone, adopting naturuV
method, proposes to turn out stones
which will vlu in purity and beauty with :
those of the fields of South Africa, and
which will compare with the famous.
gems which glow in the crown of umper !
ors. He will require at least 60(H) volts
of electricity to crystalize tho carbon,
and that is a power not easily obtained
anywhere except at Niagara. The pure
carbon ho finds in the coal and other
mines about the country, for it exists in
large quantities, and can be purchased
cheaply. With this carbon and this im
mense power of electricity at his hand,
Dr. Johnstono states that ho can so
crystalize the first that he can turn out
within a few days n Btono that nature
could not fashion in millions of vears,
The diamonds which will come from
this labratory will bo of great size, for
the doctor expects to make them from
tbe size of a pea to that of the great
Kohinoar, the most famous gem of the
world.
