Mm SATURDAY OCTOBER 19. 1889. CHINESE IN CANADA. The San Francisco Chronicle says it is announced in Ottawa that the Brit ish government has called the atten tion of the Canadian government to -i i i .i i il. ai luo uuugrr wuicn mreaipua tue ineuuijr and treaty relations between Great Britain and China nnless the Chinese Restriction act passed by the Dominion Parliament in 18S5 is modified, and it desires that such steps may be taken at the next session of the Canadian parliament as shall remove the cause for afarnj. If Canada does not want the Chinese the desire of the British government will be more than apt to pass unheeded and the request for supplemental leg islation receive but scant courtesy. The time has gone by for England to attempt anything like dictation to hi r great colonies on matters of internal policy, and even the danger of a rup- lure between Great Britain and China would not be enough in all probabil ity to induce the Dominion of Canada to permit the unrestricted immigration cf an , undesirable kind of people. ' Canada has even gone so far as to put . a check upon the immigration of pau pers from Great Britain itself, and can scarcely be expected to open her doors to coolies at the desire of the mother country. Another English colony, one of the Australian provinces, simply took the matter into its own hands, refused to allow Chinese laborers to land at all, and compelled the vessel which had brought them to take them back again. and yet China did not sever her friendly relations with Great Britain in consequence. Should England at- tempt to urge this matter too strongly upon Canada, the friendly relations between mother and daughter might be strained and another link of the now .slender chain of allegiance be cracked, if not broken. By the way, is not China going to taka a pretty large contract if she un- dertakes to compel every nation of the civilized world to open their doors to coolies? According to Bishop Fowler, she is oing to whip the United States in ten years and England appears to be somewhat alarmed about war. .Ferbaps. though, Ohma proposes to take the nations one by one and re peat on this side of the ocean the ex ploits of the great Emperor Kow-tsung in the seventh century. But as it is wise not to cross a river until it is reached, neither Great Britain nor the United States need borrow any trouble about a Chinese invasion at presen'. BUSINESS GRIT. In this era of rapid progress of cities, the community which does not exercise enterprise will fail behind others, however many natural ad van taees it may posse S3. The element of grit insures success in cities as well as individuals. This has been illustrated in many instances in the northwest during luo past few years, and it . is constantly building cities and creating trade Centers where natural ad van- tages do not exist. The fact is so apparent that enterprise will insure the growth and prosperity of any community that no other factor is deemed necessary. Channels of trade, natural resources and manufacturing facilities may attract wealth and pop illation; but the possession of these alone will not insure future develop ment In connection with these ele ments of commercial greatness there must be, to profit by them, a spirit of enterprise exhibited by the citizens. No great city can grow to individual importance without the inhabitants have en- ergy and activity, and liberal ideas in regard to public improvements. Even without natural advantages, public- spirited men can accomplish wonders in impelling the growth of business industries. The instance of Spokane t alls has often been cited, and is as pertinent illustration as any on the coast. If other cities had exhibited the same enterprise they would have equal population and business wealth. But "grit" secured success by build- ing railroads, welcoming capital and attracting trade. The lesson to . be learned is very plain, and an appli- cation to towns in the northwest can be made. The Dalles enjoys ad van- tages which few towns in Eastern Ore- gon possess; but to profit by these, energy and enterprise must be exer- cised. " One or more railroads should diverge from this city to the interior, and these, with our facili ies for chsrp ed large sums from the leading bus transportation ly means of the Colum- iness houses and wealthy men, whose bia river, would make this a great trade contributions, many of them will be center for a rich agricultural country, i During the past season the erectiin of the roller mill has been a movement in the right direction, and another season a woolen mill and other indus- tries thould follow. Our c'ty has every advantage for trade, and the exercise of pluck will insure our growth and prosperity. AGIN' IT. The legend goes that once upon a time a shipwrecked Irishman found himself cast ashore upon a friendly lBiand. Uncertain as to his where-1 abouts, he was naturally anxious to J I know whether he was alone, or wheth- er "the place was inhabited. He had w. - I gone but a short distance inland when he met a citizen of that country. His nrsb quesuuu was, a mere govern- 1 1 iT . 1 I mint on this island?" "There is" was I the answer. "Well thin," responded our Celtic friend with an emphatic I nod, 'byG d I'm agin' it" Mr. George William Curtis for several years has been "agin' it." He pro fe&8e8 to believe that the civil service reform plank in the Republican plat- form of 1888 meant that the incoming I pies:dent must leave the offices, in I " their occuoenc? and arrangement, iust I as he found them after Mr. CIcve land's" fouf years tenure of office, re- yarding this gentleman's somewhat peculiar work as the foundation of all righteousness. This seems to bo about what be assumes. Mr. Curtis, since his defection from the RepuUi- can party, and affiliation with on'-, which but a short tim3 ago, he pro nounced to be but ''an organized hun- ger and thirst for office" has, it would i seem, been an extremely unhappy man But that is no reason why he should attempt to degrade the whole theory of reform by a stump speech abusive of President Harrison, like his Philadelphia tffort. Mr. Curtis might as well own that the civil re form service is making progress; not so much or so fast as might be hoped perhaps, but still progress, no matter I whether Mr. Curtis, or all the mi I wuinps are "agin it." TnE BOAT KAIL WAY. I Gov. Pennoycr has written a letter I to the chief of public engineers, udve- eating the building of a standard I gauge railroad by the government in- stead of a boat railroad between The D.illes and Culilo, because he is in formed bv an old stcaiuboatoian that boats staunch enough to navigate the river below The Dalles would be en tirely too heavy and unwieldly to navigate the river above CtliiO, ovine: to the shoals, bars and rapids at var ious points above that place, which impediments absolutely require boats uf such light draught and such lisht weiaht as would render them entirely unfit to withstand the strong winds and swift waves of the middle Columbia The statement of the river captain, upon whom the governor reies for authority, may ba true in general: but the fact remains that boats which have been used in navi gating the Columbia above Celilo called the upper river have been suc- cessfully used in the trade between tujg city and the Cascades and also on the 0wer river. A number of years ag0 the Shoshone and Nez Perce Chief were taken to Portland and for a long time used in navigating the Willamette anj Columbia rivers. The Harvest Queen and D. S. Baker, now making trjp8 to the Cascades, are both upper river boats, and for years were engaged in the trade between Celilo and Lew- ;8ton. These illustrations demon- 8trates the fact that boats cf suffi- c;ent jow draft to pass the shoals pass and rapids ci the upper river con be used in navigating all portions of the river. For this reason we do not endorse Gov. Pennoyer's idea of constructing a broad gauge railroad to overcome the obstructions above this c;ty inatead of a boat railway as pro- nnanj ti1H w,arH nf ,;,,.. Th boat-railway would be the more eco nomical plain, and we do not think the objections to it can be substantiated. LET US HELP OURS EL VES. A committee of members cf the senate will reach Ogden on Monday next traveling over the U. P. by special. From thence it will go to San Francisco, also by special train. The committee consists of Senators Frye, Hiscock, Davis, Butler, Hearst, Dawes and Morgan. The last two gentleman, it will be remembered. were on the coast this summer. These gentlemen will return home by the Shasta Route to Portland, and from thence by the Short Line route to the east. This is our opportunity. Let us, through our Board of Trade, avail ourselves of the presence of these gen tlemen in our midst, entertain them and let them see for themselves the ignificent ruin known as the Locks and send them back to Washington with a personal knowledsa of our wants, as well as the conviction which actual inspection must bring to them that there is but one wav to o-ivn na a. free river within a lifetime and that is by contract work. A few hours stop at the Locks and at The Dalles, will give us seven intelligent advo cates m the Senate Chamber men who can speak ex cathedra, and whose influence will be worth to us a thous and fold the little trouble and outlay. THE WORLDS FAIR. The great effort which the city of Chicago is making to secure the World's Fair of 1892 is at least strong evidence that Chicagoaus believe in themselves and their city. The city has been flooded with subscription books, no les3 than 19,000 of these having been distributed among the factories, shop?, stores, docks and other places where workingmen con- err gate. This is of course apart, from and beside, the regularly to be expect - represented by at least four figures. The plan 13 somewhat unique. All these leaser subscriptions were made at one time at 12:30 on Wednesday, O.t. 9th. This will be remembered as the anniversary of the great h're of eighteen years ago which proved both bane and blessing to the rustling. enterprising City of the Lakes. We are somewhat curious to see the sequel of this novel method of spcurinsr the sinews of war for what will doubtless prove the grandest exhibition of the century, whether held at Chicago or elsewhere, I vnTTnnr at TtrnTva I " I I According to the dispatches a plot has been "unearthed" in the Cronin trial, by which a wholesale bribery of n",v' - t" , iiirnra I.ao fioon nratinorl In thia aa I f American jurisprudence it fre- qnentiy nappens inai sucn sensational rumors become widespread, id order to I influence public opinion; but before any credence is placed in these "dis- I closures" it is well that a care- ful scrutiny should bo had. The - I whole subject should be care-1 tu"v analyzed, and the naked facts, J possible, ascertained. It is not rea- tonable that the very able counsel for those who are suspected of the crime 'join hands with the Celt in favor of I of the taurdcr" of Dr. Cronla, should employ untried persons to acquit the accused or "hang" the jury. Before proceeding these lawyers should cover every pitfall and be extra cautious that they would not be caught in their schemes by irresponsible and design ing people. The matter of the dis- closures will have to be viewed with a great deal of discrimination, and the greatest precaution and investigation used before any conclusion is drawn. A meeting of free-thiukers was held in Portland last Saturday, at which addresses were made by several prominent men in the state. The bur den of the speeches appeared to be a severance of church and state, and the greatest freedom in the expression of ! views on reliious subjects. As far as could be gleaned from the Oregonian the convention appeared to have at tracted a large number Of people from different portions of the state, and to have been very harraoniods. All lib - eral-minded men will endorse the sen- for public improvements and a sound timents expressed of freedom from any financial and economic policy, and Iia reli"iou3 restraint, and the broadest publicans are satisfied that very few reaini tor thought on an subjects. But the traditions of our people havu become for centuries so interwoven with religious ui;lief3 that it is - a not only a difficult but a dan gerous expedient to ruzne any marked innovation. .there is no denying the fact that for the pur poses of government some belief in a supreme being greatly aids officials in the enforcement of restrictive laws. Sever the faculties of the mind from a reverence for deity, and it would be a broad step towards the wildest anarchy. In the history of the world, from the earliest ages of Greece to the present time, religion has been the handmaid of civil govern ment, and tho reverence for the one implies the life and activity of the other. We have cosmopolitan community, com posed of different races, and it will be extremely hazardous to cut these peo ple loose from all restraining influences, and let them follow the bent of their own feelings. Tt will be far better for them to hug a delusion to their bosoms, if by so doing they are tracta ble and law-abiding, than by releasing them from the thralldom of supersti tion to make them disturbers of the peace of the commonwealth and breed ers of mischief in society. The report has been published gen erally through the press of the state that Mr. Harvey Scott, editor of the Oregonian, has resigned, and that the position has been filled by a gentleman who was formerly of the staff of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. From the fact of this resignation queries have been made regarding the future field of work for Mr. Scott, and some have intimated that he would be a candi date before the next legislature for U. S. senator. This is a matter that does not concern the papers of Oregon, and Mr. Scott, as an American citizen, has a right to devote1 his energies in any field of activity he desires. If he should aim at a seat in the upper house of the national legislature we can assure our readers that no abler man could be given the position. His line of work for many years has been the best disci phnearian of the 'brain on all subjects, and if honored by an election to the position ho would be aided by a ripe judgment, and a care ful discrimination in matters for the benefit of his constituents. This has been his life work,and,unlike the shys ter lawyer, he would labor for the ben efit of the community and not for his own aggrandisement. This is the vo cation of the editor in contradistin- guisbment from that of the attorney. The one either defends or prosecutes, according to the size of the fee; the other is the protector of the weak or innocent against the enemies of human peace and happiness. In real life there is too much poefry and sentiment, and not enough love and honesty, although these are gen erally combined. The poetry of life consists in cjothing in glowing colors tho common every day duties which we owe to each other as members of the cemmunity, and in consequence almost a total ignoring of the sterner realities, we must work, pay our debts and treat cur neighbors fairly if we desire to maintain our standing in society, and leave the ideas of romance, fancy and poetrv alone. The world is a hard one.' It will not tread softly over tendep spots, but will go rough over the most delicate grounds, and we must be prepared. The realm of sentiment may be well enough for those who have a large bank account and unlimited credit; but with any one who has to provide food and clothes tor wtie and children something is 01 mucd greater importance than rynmm, time or tune, .bite must be ........... .1 sustained oy eaung ana ma necessaries paid tor; clothing will have to be fur- nisnea, anci butchers, grocers' and merchants' bills liquidated by dollar ana cents, and not by sweet songs or 8mooth-souudin2 sentences. This knocks ihe poetry out of life, and rel- egates it to the halcyon days of youth or to the cooing time of mating. This is where it where else. should exist and no Pullic opinion in Great Britain in favor of home rule fcr Ireland is in- creasing very rapidly.

J I and their advancement is slow but sure. The ground gained toward granting to Ireland what she demands will not be lost, and the tiaxon will reforms in the different branches of government. The institutions Of Great Britain are founded on individ ual freedom, and when an onward movement is inaugurated it is like an Alpine avalanche and carries every thing before it. It is only a question of time when every member of the British empire will have a parliament, with power to make all local laws. This is the tendency of British public oninion. and it will never make a retrogade movement. There is no ''slate" made for .next 7 June yet, and thi3 is as it should be. The Republican party is one of prin ciples and not of men, and the mem bers of the organization! are sufficiently patriotic to trust implicitly to conven tions to place proper candidates in nomination. It ii not a maUer of as much concern that certain men are elected as that certain principles are I fully carried out. In the next con 1 gress we desire liberal appropriations will prove treacherou-t in these re gards. If it is necessary Eastern Of egon can furnish a United States sen ator, congressman or governor; but this region only desires to be properly recognized. It is now thoroughly Re publican and should receive some con sideration from the nominating con vention. But there is abundant time and opportunity to discuss these propositions, and we will not urge any political contest prematurely. A free-trade organ grows very en thusiastic in favor of its pet doctrine by the following peculiar jugglery of figures: "The United States, under the operations of high-tariff laws from 1870 to 1880, increased in wealth from 905 per capita to 940, or at a rate of $3.50 annuallly. The United States from 1850 to 1860 bad free trade, and her wealth increased dur ing that time from 3S0 per capita to 615, or at the rate cf $23.50 yearly." These figures will deceive no thought ful person, for during the free-trade decade the discovery of gold in Cali fornia saved the country from bank ruptcy, and the disastrous results of the civil war were felt between 1S70 and 1880. And furthermore the in crease of population during the ten years of protection was greater than from 1850 to 1860, and as a matter of course this diminished the increase of wealth per capita. At this particular period of indus trial development in Oregon the im provement of the navigation of the Columbia river is of the greatest im portance, and for this reason the Waterway convention, a3 a represent- atiye body, should voice the wishes of every community dependent upon the river as a means of transportation. It should be a matter cf great concern to all interested that these conventions should express the desires of the northwest regarding government aid in public works. We have no fault to - find with our senators and repre sentatives in congress. They have worked arduously for appropriations for Oregon in the river and harbor bill, and have been successful in many instances in increasing the amounts for the locks at the Cascades and for the mouth of the river; but when they have the support of conventions, em bodying the consolidated wishes of the entire community, their work is more effectual. Forty-six failures of woollen nianu facturing concerns, with liabilities to the amount of $6,920,000, in the first eight months of this year, demonstrate the failure of enormous duties on woollens to secure the home market for our woollen manufacturers. The reason of such a failure is obviously the taxation of the raw material without which, free of duty, we can not mate ratines to compete in our own markets with foreign makes. Albany Democrat. There is considerable assumption in the proposition that these failures are caused by "taxation of the raw mate' rial. The better reason appears to be the efforts of the last administra tion to break down the wool industry, and the effect of such a ruinous policy now being realized in our manufac tures being crippled. A fair test of this matter would be to wait till the close of Mr. Harrison's administration and then, after Republican legislation in congress, to see w hether all branch es of industries are not on a better financial basis. The Democrats are terribly exer cised because a few fourth class post masters have been removed in differ ent parts of the country, and are pro claiming loudly in favor of an unpar- tisan civil service. Any one acquaint ed with the history of the party knowH that it originated the stoils system " and that the corrupt Tammany ring has been the embodiment of every thing that is detestable in politics from its inception to the present time. When the Democratic party preaches civil service reform on an unpartisan hasis it in timn tW Satan l.nU ray himself in white and spotless robes and undertake a crusade in favor of purity and righteousness. In Germany the authorities have a very effectual method of stopping strikes, and that is by putting the sol diers at work where laboiers are needed. Recently at Flensburg, when the dock laborers refused to load and unload the ships, the soldiers per lormea toe worff, and the same was . . , , ... done in the strike of the bakers in Berlin. This plan can only be adopted by tyrannical governments, and the freedom of the people receives a death blow when the army can be brought into requisition to enforce the demands of capital upon dependent labor. A letter has been receiyed in this city from Mr. D. C. Gall, of Denver, CoL, in relation to establishing a soap factory in this city. The propositions are fair and reasonable, and if our cit izens desire to profit by tho Offer souie attention should be paid to the matter. We would suggest to our board of trade that a meeting ba held, and cor respondence be had with Mr. Gall. The Dalies needs every factor of de velopment, and a soap factory would produce an article of ready sale. We must establish manufacturing indus tries if we desire to grow and prosper couim ercially, and the quicker we take hold of something of the kind the better. The negro porter, Gibbs, who shot the McDevitts last Friday evening, is still at large, and from appearances the Portland authorities have made no strennous efforts for his capture. It was a most cowardly crime, and the colored villain should ne brought to justice. In this era of railroads and telegraphs it sems impossible that Gibbs should elude the vigilance of the officials, if they are competent to fill the positions they occupy. We hope the press of Portland will not hold their peace until the police force of that city are aroused to their ut most vigilance in this matter. The Pan-American congress will have the beneficial effect of attracting in closer connection the different na tions of the western continent. The visitors from the different coun tries in Central and South Amer ica are being shown the grand eur of the United States, and no doubt will return to their homes with a more extended knowledge of our growth and prosperity. There are urgent reasons for desiring a union of the American states for political, com mercial and other objects, and the congress will undoubtedly have a tendency in that direction. Senator Evarts is in Vienna, and has been giving our German neighbors some idea of the negro question in this country. The solution of the problem is as difficult with him as the average citizen, and he cannot paint any gold- . , . . n , rwii . of the United States. The An glo-Saxon and the African will not conuiingle amicably, and past history verifies the fact that in the conflict between these races one will be forced to the wall, and very likely that one w ill be the negro. According to dispatches from Eng land the confederate bondholders of that country have hopes that their debt3 may-still be paid. This is evi dently a delusion and a snare, as an amendment to the constitution pro vides that neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection, and to use a homely phrase, these British bondholders who had such an abiding faith in the per manency of the late confederacy, will be forced to whistle for their .pay. We are intormed on reliable au thority that Mr. Harvey Scott has not resigned from . the control of the editorial columns of the Oregonian; but an additional writer has been added to the editorial staff of that paper. From the same source we learn that Mr. Scott will not be a can didate for senatorial honors, and un der no circumstance would he accept the position. The ability of Mr. Scott cannot be doubted, but editors make poor politicians. ' The speech of Chief Arthur before the annual convention of Locomotive Engineers in session in Denver, gives the true key-note to all classes of labor ers. He believes in workmen main taining their rights, but would not ad vise a strike only as a last resort. The organization of labor is beneficial in several ways, and when such con servative men as Mr. P. M. Arthur takes the lead people may be satisfied that there will be no radical action. The communication from Mr. Hugh Gourlay, the assessor, in another col umn, recommending a low assessment this year, presents the matter in a fair and clear light As the subject is one of importance we should be pleased to have further discussion of the matter in these columns. TELEGRAPHIC. ekgxish justice in erin. Dublin, Oct. 17. The trial of Father jIcFiiilden and others for particpatinr id the murder of Police Inspector .Martin, began to-diy at Maryborough. If the crown attorney succeds, in his evident purpose ot obtaining a jury of twelve Protestants, it will not be without many uuscemly disturbances. So violeDt were the protests to-day at the action ot the crown in dismissing every Catholic venire man, that riroceedincs had tc suspended pending the arrival of a large iorce or ponce. The two jurymen who were accepted by both sides, and then told to stand down when the prosecution was mform- ea mat tney were uatnoiices, became so enraged that thay refused to leave and had to be ejected by force. Iu the struggle it hat ensued, several hot-beaded members of the ilcFadden flock took part and tor a time it looked as though a not would result. A large force of police is on the way to Maryborough irom uuoun. VILLARD VICTOKIOUS. Kew York, Oct. 17. The Northern x-aciuc preierrea siocKUoluers Held a meeting to-day. Chairman Hams ore sided.
