Tb3 Dalles Daily Chrcnista. The only Republican Daily Newspapei on Wasco County. ' , EASTERN OFFICE 250 to SS4 Temple Court, N. y. City. E. KATZ, Agent. SATURDAY DECEMBER 18, 1897 ITS RECORD FOR TWELVE YEARS In Ihe house Tuesday ir. Barrett, Republican, of Massachusetts, de clared that the civil service law was a Republican measure, passed by Re publican votes, and that the party was irrevocably committed to the policy of civil service reform. Proof of this statement is found In the national platform of that party. 'The civil service law was placed on the stitute book by the Republican party," declared the platform of 1896, w hich has always sustained it, and we renew our repeated declarations that it shall be thoroughly and hon estly enforced and extended where ever practicable." Yet in tht face of that declaration, says the Spokesman-Review, Repub lican spoilsmen are asserting upon the floor of the house of . representa tives that it never was the intention to extend the civil service beyond a narrow and inefficient range. The people will not be gulled. .They well know the motive which spurs the spoilsmen on in their fierce attack on civil service reform. The fight is made by spoils politicians like Senator Wilson, who care noth - ing for party principle or party dec larations. If they can break down the civil service, they will be able to appease in part the angry clamor of ' supporters whom they have deceived with promises of place. Hence their active onslaught upon the law. The government, according to the resolution which passed ' the senate yesterday, will spend $250,000 in . sending food to the miners at Daw son City. It seems generally con ceded that this is the proper thing to do, yet in the end it would have proved cheaper to have subsidized the steamship companies that worked tip the rush of last snmmer, and thus kept the adventurers at home. Next winter will have" a sorrier tale to tell than this. Through the , strenuous advertising and urging of the steam ship companies, aided by the agents of the various railroads leading to the coasts, an immense crowd of peo pie will probably, be in Alaska by the end of the summer. Many of them are improvident by nature, . and the force of circumstances Jwill hinder proper preparation. Scattered along the frozen valleys of Alaska, they will be objects of pity when winter's leck is put upon the coun try. But the transportation compa nies will have made their money out of it, andthe government forced to ' again step in and aid. Not all that glitters Is gold, especially along the banks of the Klondike. Astoria is taking up a contribution to advertise that town in the East. It is expected several thousand dol lars will be expended in this way. The plan of flooding the country with printed matter has been tried at various times by all the Oregon towns with indifferent success. The Dalles has had its turn and will prob ably be sailed upon again. The best way to attract attention is to do something which will be noticed among the class of men whose con sideration is worth having. If this town were to have a woolen mill es tablished in it, it would be the best advertisement it could obtin. Just as the woolen factory at Pendleton has pushed that place forward, so it would at . The Dalles, only in larger degree, for our advantages are so manifestly more than Pendleton's that the results would be greater. This is the age of young men. Charles G. Dawes of Illinois, who yesterday was appointed comptroller of the currency is but thirty-two years of oge, having been born in 1865. It is an index of how time is flying when one thinks that a child born since the surrender . at Appo matox and after. Lincoln was assas sinated, should hare time to mature and succeed to one of the most Im portant offices under the administra tion. The beginning of the century will see the country run by men to whom the great civil strife is but a memory. - - Senator Wolcott, the head of the monetary commission, recently sent to Europe in the interests of interna tional bimetallism, hopes "soon to make a statement concerning the work of the commission." It will be easier for the senatar to relate what was not done than to point but what was accomplished. His state ment will have a considerably nega tive character. Bucstien's Arincs mlTis.
