THURSDAY - DECEMBER 16, 1897 AN JMPENDISG CRISIS. Matters have gone from bad to worse in Austria, and it seems almost impossible to avoid civil war or a disruption of the empire. The Czechs are trying the same tactics that they used in forcing the lan guage decree fronrthe Badeni min istry, only in more violent form, and which were copied by the Germans in forcing Badeni out. Hungary is looking on in disgust, and not alto gether unwilling to see the dual mon archy go to pieces. So far the per sonal influence of the emperor and the dread of consequences stand in the way of complete disruption; but at any time they may prove ineffect ual to stem the tide of social hostil ity which grows constantly more bitter. Germans and Czechs bate each other with extreme virulence, and the Magyars are suspicious of both. The possible disruption of the em pire raises some very interesting questions, the answers to which it is impossible to forsee. Will German Austria go to Germany?: May not a great Hungarian empire, possibly even a republic, be the magnet for the Balkan principalities? What will Russia and Germany say ? They feel that they have a right to dictate the action of their neighbors incase of threatened revolution, as when just now they forbade the Greeks to dispense with King George and bis courts, and an independent govern ment in Southeastern Europe would scarcely be to their liking. What is to become, too, of the famous Aus tro Russian agreement in regard to the partition of European Turkey ? The next few weeks may see great changes, unless Lord Salisbury's steam roller gets to work. The revenues under the Dingley Act are not yet sufficient to meet the expenses. It has now been in operation four full months and has "yielded about $35,000,000, the de ficit being nearly $46,000,000 for the five months cf the fiscal j ear. The customs income was the smallestffor the period in many 3'ears, and the question has been raised whether the new tariff is not, therefore, a failure. In answer to the, contentions of its opponents who disbelieved in it Jrom the first, its friends declare that nor mal conditions in importation have not yet been reached; that immense quantities of sugar, wool, woolen goods were imported in the four or five months while the Dingley bill was pending, in anticipation of the advance in rates, and that the market was so well stocked that importations have consequently been unusually light during the past four months. Mr. Dingley thinks the law is work inj satisfactorily. He says the an ticipatory importations paid upwajrd of $32,000,000 into the treasury; un der, the present law they would have paid over $83,000,000., The in ternal revenue features are working admirably. . Including - the receipts from this source, the income has ad vanced from $18,000,000 in August to $24,000,000. Two or . three months additional will show whether the customs schedules aie adequate revenue producers. If any deficit is left at all if will probably be small and can be met by an additional tax on beer; or, better ttill, by less extravagant; appropriations. More economy in expenditures would be a national blessing. Already the rush to Klondike seems to have bpgun. liere can be little doubt that a mighty stream of people will pour to the Pacific coast next spring headed tp the frozen North. Now is the time for Oregon to better herself. Many, of these people will come with moneyv and should our resources be set forth in an appropriate manDer, many can be induced to remain in this land of plenty, instead of taking precarious chances among the gloomy mountains of Alaska. Now is the time to press the work. Portland is doing well, and the rest of the state should do its best to assist. NOTICE.
