' If it is true, as is reported from Washington, that a fight is being made to oust Secretary Gage from the president's cabinet, the episode is one of the most disgraceful in American politics. The appointment of Mr, Gage to be secretary of the treasury met with much enthusiasm among business circles, and any attempt looking to his forced retirement will be received with displeasure by all save the petty politicians who want nothing which resembles rectitude and ability in office. We are not the least afraid that President McKinley will allow the secretary of the treasury to resign. The president is too patriotic, high minded and far-seeing to allow him self to be swayed by the threats and entreaties of the gang of agitators in the senate, who, unless free silver is .made the fetich on all occasions, seek to destroy the temple. Nothing will come of all the talk concerning Mr. Gage's removal, but the incident shows too plainly what dangerous men occupy . "the seats of the mighty." When statesmanship has given way to demagogy in viru lent form ; when United States sena tors are influenced by absolutely no motive but the desire for re election, it is time for the American people to pause and consider. . It is m jre than probable that with a continuation of good times much of the complaint now attacking the nation may be removed, but nothing like a cure can be obtained until the general tone of statesmanship can be raised and men elected to the United States senate shall be chosen by rea son of ability, and not because of political pull. It is fortunate for the country that we have a few such men as President McKinley, Secre tary Gage and Speaker Reed at the head of affairs. Portland business men state the holiday trade for 1897 to be the largest for years. The same may be said of The Dalles and doubtless of the other Northwest towns which were not built altogether on the boom basis. The continued good prices for all kinds of cereals, and the prom ise of still further advances in cattle, sheep and wool make the outlook for nest year still more encouraging. In addition to this, all lines of busi ness upon the copst will receive an impetus from the rush to Klonkike. Prom every part of the world people are coming with money to spend in the Northwest, fitting out for the Alaska gold fields. Many of them may change their minds and remain here. Those who do not, will leave pleasant reminders of their visit in the shape of United States gold standard dollars. The reorganization of the Union Pacific marks an important event in railroad circles. This one great transcontinental road has been the , prey of the plunderers of Wall street until it has become little more than a wreck. The men who have now taken hold are capitalists of standing and wealth, and their connection with it means that the Union Pacific shall be conducted upon a business basis. . ; ,An Eastern Oregon paper has nominated T. T. Geer for governor on the Republican ticket. This is ' as near-to the gubernatorial chair, probably, as Tall Timothy will get. He is not the sort of man the politi cians of Oregon want.

Carter, the pioneer printer of Portland is dead. Offers have been made to patch up all factional differences between the two wings of the Republican party in Port land. Fitzsimmons says that he will meet Corbeit after Corbett has met Cboynski or Maher. Corbett eays, "No, I will fight Fitzaimmona first." Late arrivals from Alaska report that the richest strike that has yet been made was recently discovered on Hemp ker creek. Ordinarily it averages from ?4 to $6 to the pan. A report received from Portland stales that this morning the Bailey Gatzert was in some manner caught in the draw of the steel bridge and a number of pas sengers thrown overboard and injured. Further particulars could not be learned. The Turkish government, replying to the representations of Greece, has ex plained that the firing upon the Greek gunboat Actium by the Turks at Prevesa on Saturday last, as the vessel was leav ing the gulf of Ambracia, was due to a misunderstanding. Friedlander & Gottloeb yesterday took formal possession of the Baldwin and California theaters in San Francisco, as successors of Al Hayman, who recently retired from the theatrical business in San Francisco. Friedlander & Gottloeb now control all the first-class theaters of the Bay city. ' . Lord Salisbury, the British premier, has written to United States Ambassa dor Hay in response to America's latest proposal in the Behring sea controversy, by a request that Great Britain would enter into an agreement with the United States, Russia and Japan to stop Bealing. Great Britain declines to enter into such an agreement. LOST, 8TR1IKD OB BTOLBN. Four head of catttle of the following descrption: - One black and white spotted steer, 3 years old.
