freetrader would have regarded them
as the - ravings of a diseased imagina-
. tion; but since they are written by an
" Englishman, and ' for publication in
". England, t.hev mav command kia at
tention. It is iust the merest truth
that the people of England are not
naif so mnch in love with free trade in
1891 as they were in 1851. And it is
. in of frVtA MawADt fmtli that it ia

oeen aeieatea oy tne coaautuuonaiiBicj,
and that peace, order and liberty will
be successful in this South American
republic From the most authentic
sources the reign of Balmaceda has
been one ot tne most cruel despotism.
. ....
The constitution, patterned after our
own, has been trampled under foot,
and the rights of individuals outraged
in the most ruthless manner. When
the president began his arbitrary rule,
the congress, elected by the people,
opposed him, and when it became
necessary, asserted the sovereignty of
. tlia rumnla nnainof . tlica daennf in Aattnna
of a tyrant. The people of the United
States will feel joyful that constitu
tional liberty has been successful, and
that again a firmly established govern'
ment will soon be formed. This will
be greatly to the benefit of our trade
with that country, as the capital and
largest business interests were identi
fied with the insurgents, and , their
success will give a stability to the in
stitutions which - they never could
have received if it had been proved
that Balmaceda,. single-handed, could
have overthrown them.
' It is imperative that factories of
some kind be inaugurated in the
northwest to impel growth and pros
perity. There are boundless resources
awaiting development in this country
which will support ten times the pop
ulation it now has. The fact is ap
parent to anyone that simply agricul
ture will not support large towns in
any close proximity to each other; but
manufactures will attract numerous
laborers, who are both producers and
consumers. Commerce is not nearly
as large a supporter of population, al
though it is very productive of wealth.
The time is not far distant when the
northwest must devise some means of
support for thjs army of immigrants
which is trending westward, and it is
high time we wera ' making prepara
tions to receive tlwm. If Baker City
or Pendleton put in operation facto
ries before The Dalles, the former
will receive " the immigration and the
latter will not These are cold facts,
and it would be well if they were
properly considered. "
''Fire and water are good servants
bnt despotic masters" is an old saying,
but it is as true as sunlight, and
should always be heeded. When one
looks over the black and smoking
ruins of Wednesday and realize what
might have been, the heart ia filled.
with despondency. Hundreds of our
neighbors are homeless and houseless,
and tender sympathy must be extend
ed to these and the comforts of life
equally shared with them. In pros
perity the heart has no field for e$-
pression of sympathy, but when mis
fortune and disaster follow each other
in rapid succession then the nobler
qualities have a scope for exhibition.
This was the case Wednesday. No
sooner were tho homeless and house
less thrown upon the streets without
shelter than offers came from all di
rections to care for them. Doors
were thrown open, rooms shared, food
furnished to the needy, and people
walked the streets till late midnight
to proffer shelter to those in need.
It is undoubtedly a fact that the
editorial association now being held in
Astoria will be a harmonious session,
and we regret very much that we were
unable to attend. The Astorians will
entertain them royally, aud as recre
ation from hard mental labor, each
will feel better for the short vacation.
Editors are toilers in the fullest sense
of the term, and do more gratuitous
work for the common good than all
the other professions considered. If
they charged for opinion?, like law
yers, eyery editor would be wealthy,
and if they could be purchased to de
fend or prosecute a cause by the sim
ple preponderance of fee there would
be millionaires among newspaper men.
As it is, they act for the public weal,
without considering the pecuniary re
sult to themselves, and for this reason
should be honored, as they are in some
localities, and not in others.
The railroad companies, the informa
tion leaks out,- have an idea that Gov
ernor Pennoyer will 'come to' their
rescue in the matter of reduced rail
road rates by calling a special session
of the legislature, so says the Salem
Statesman. Even should the legis
lature, meet, about the only relief the
railroads could expect to find would
be in a passage of a maximum freight
rate, which, very likely, would be
lower even than the rate recommended
and adopted by the board, But there
will be no special session. Governor
Pennoyer says he sees no reason for
calling it. He has twice given his
opinions on the railroad rate question
to the legislature and he believes in
letting the commissioners and the rail
roads and courts settle it among them
selves. With the agricultural and mineral
development of Eastern Oregon there
is no reason that there should not be
ten- times the. population there is at
present. The mines near Canyon and
Baker cities, the coal mines at Fossil
and Butter creek, with an available
route to maket, will attract capital
and population largely, and in
few years this portion of Oregon will
afford as good a field for investment
as any part of the United States. The
future for the Inland Empire could
not be more promising than it is at
present, and -the next decade will
witness such a revolution in business
as will astonish the mossbacks who are
indigenous to this region.
Good progress is being made on the
Oregon fruit palace to be erected at
the state fair grounds, says the Salem
Journal. One of the committee who
is an experienced builder, has taken
charge of putting up the building.
The raising of funds is well under
way. The committee are meeting
with fair encouragement and trust all
will give as liberally as they can in
place of waving the committee off with
as small a subscription as possible.
Once erected, the Oregon fruit palace
will be. a permanent feature of the
fair, only to be enlarged or decorated
from .year to year.
ine question is assed ny many,
Will The Dalles survive the terrible
fire of yesterday.' With the greatest
confidence we answer, Obliterate every
building in the city, destroy every
landmark of its supremacy, and its
natural locality as a business and
commercial center will always attract
apital and business. Phoenix-like,
in a uttie wnue ine uaiies win rise
from the ashes' of her destruction in
belter and - fairer proportions than
ever.
The fighting forces of Europe are
on a better war footing than ever be
fore, and the least careless act on the
part of either France or Germany will
impel a conflict- There is no doubt of
bad blood existing between the Gaul
and German,' and they desire to settle
matters on the field of Mars. When it
occurs blood will flow, and it is diffi
cult at present to say which will be
the victor.
The coal near Fossil has proved of
excellent quality, and if our city ex
pects to reap the benefit the projected'
railroad should be pushed to
rapid completion. Witn manu
factures operated bv the .. mo
tive power of the Columbia, coal
mines pouring their wealth into our
coffers, it will be- only a few years
before The Dalles will exceed in pop
ulation any city in the Inland Empire.
The institute juat closed, aside frem
the entertainment furnished our citizens,
was a school of instruction to those en
gaged in tbe profession of teaching. We
hope these institutes will receive every
aid from all friends cf education, sod that
eventually our system of free schools will
develop to tbe full capacity of impart-
iug the knowledge necessary for citizen
ship to all children.
In saving the public schools yester
day, the lady teachers acted a noble
part They may be delicate, scream
at the sight of a 'mouse; but. when
nerve is required women and girls are
constantly resolute and brave. ' Yes
terday we saw exemplifications of this
in several instances.
Our evening cotemporary says it
was a holocaust' We did not hear of
anyone being burned to death.. Even
the transcendental genius of the giant
mind of the great Irishman sometimes

THE PROBLEM OF CONVICT LA
BOR. ' In discussing . this - question, the
Chicago Graphic very truthfully says
the bitter remonstrance that has come
up from all olaases of organized labor
against tbe employment of convict in
competition with free labor, suggests
no equitable solution of tho question.
Our worthy cotemporary says that
to support the convicts in idleness
would increase the burdens of the tax
payers, and compel the lav-abiding
classes to work not only for their own
bread, but for that of the law-breakers.
If idleness tended to diminish
crime the community might be recon
ciled to the idea of exempting convicts
from labor; bnt idleness being one of
the provocations to crime, the indul
gence to the la v-breaker, so far from
exercising a reformatory influence,
would confirm his vicious propensities.
As a rule, the inmates of most peni
tentiaries are better fed, better clad
and better sheltered than the mass of
common laborers whose earnings must
cover the support of wife and children.
Many criminals who detest labor
would bp -content to drone away their
lives in prison where there was no m
voluutary labor. Multitudes of va
grants in all the great cities are insti
gated to petty misdemeanors by the
sole consideration of being cared for
at the public expense, especially dur
ing the winter season. To the aver
age convic;, however, a condition of
idleness would be one of extreme cru
elty, revolting to humanity. The de
sideratum is, to find some class of
work which shall be beneficial to tb?
community without - placing convict
labor in competition with free labor.
As to the convict-leasing system there
is practically no division Of sentiment,
and there can be little doubt of its
overthrow at an early date in every
state in which it now exists. Ten
nessee and Georgia are bound to fol
low the example .of otber southern
states. Tbe inhumanities of the
farming-out system, as reflected in'the
official reports, exceed in brutality
and cruelty anything previously wit
nessed in the era of civilization. It
has been abolished from the statutes
of Mississippi, and the states of Ten
nessee and Georgia will probably
abrogate the present convict leases
and put an end to the cruel and bar
barous ejstem as soon as practicable,
The Canadian, movement for. employ
ing conyict labor in the construction
of publio roada may prove a satisfac
tory solution of the problem in that
country, and might be advantageously
practiced in the south, but it is doubt
ful if any solution of the question can
be given Chat would fully meet the
demand for non-competion with free
labor. Even though the labor of con'
victs be restricted to the 'prison neces
sities, there is no branch of employ
ment that does not compete with some
form' of honest industry. But it is
better that honest industry suffer some
alight touch of convict competition
than that it be compelled wholly to
support criminals in idleness.
The Editorial Association, lately in
session at Astoria, has taken a deter
mined stand against newspapers using
their columns, without .remuneration
for the advertisement of many mouey-
makin? schemes. As a rule of busv
ness, applicable to all departments of
trade, the columns of the daily or
weekly paper stands on an equal foot
ing with the articles on the counter of
the grocer or dry-goods merchant, and
should only be exchanged for market
value. We have always .. advocated
and upheld this principle, and. have
made life long enemies thereby. If
the press would universally adopt such
a rule, the people would soon under
stand and appreciate its justness; but
while one publisher follows this plan
and one or more in the same town or
city adopt the opposite, the paper
printed ' on business principles soon
loses patrons to tbe benefit of the oth
ers who are less' business-like in their
methods.
' Democrats ars inclined on every oc
casion to. talk long and loud of the
overflowing- treasury during Cleve
land's administration, and we very
much desire to know of what benefit
this was to tbe country while laborers
were begging work in every city 'and
hamlet Specie locked in burglar
proof vaults is no benefit to any depart
ment of industry, and it is of no more
good than if it had not been in exist
ence. Money to benefit anyone, even
the possessor, must be in circulation,
and then it may be the means of caus
ing comfort and creating wealth. Like
the stagnant pool, gold or silver, kept
behind locks and bars, simply corrodes
and corrupts itself, and to be of the
least utility must.be kept, in motion.
The Walla Walla Union-Journal
says it isthe opinion of conseryative
men that the price of wheat has about
reached its highest point for this Sea
son of the year. When the price ad
vances too far, and each one that han
dles' the product begins to increase
his charges, the steamship companies
may raise their rates. : Seventy-five
cents in Walla Walla means a good
price on the outside, and people then
begin to think of a substitute for
bread. . Still those holding on to their
wheat, will not lose anything. The
winter is sure to bring better rates.
It is estimated by some that fully half
the crop yet remains in the hands of
the farmer.-
The doctrine of the indestructibil
ity of matter may be true; but the
present shape in which half this city
is ' in ' gives . such a form to
the buildings .which formerly existed
that the constituent elements are
worse than useless. Fire and water
destroys property in a most ruthless
manner, and $1,000,000 gone up in
flames the work of a few moments-
does no one any good. - The theory
that matter is eternal is undoubtedly
true; but the changes made by these
riotous elements renders it of no util
ity whatever. .. ? . . : i , .... .

' Again Keported Killed. '
New York, Sept. 2. A report reached
this city to-day from Santiage that Bal
maceda, ex-dictator of Cbili, bad been
killed in the mountains while trying to
make bis escape. According to tbe story,
Balmaceda left Santiago oc Saturday
night litfore tbe rioting commenced,
He took his family with him and carried
a considerable amount of personal prop
erty, including a large sum of money
and- some valuable jewels. When be

the city be and bis family abandoned the
tbe carriage iu winch they bad oeen
traveling and took a special train, which
was in waiting to convey them to Lns
Andes, thirty two miles nortbeust of Han
tiago. Here Balmaceda left Ins family
and with a companion started on Moo
day night to make bis way across tbe
mountains, bis ultimate pnrpoae being to
reach Buenos Ayres. Th' weather was
bitterly cold and the snow on tbe ground
made traveling very difficult. Balma
ceda rode a mule, which is- the only
animal that is of any use in the mountain
pa-ses through which he was making bis
way."
Tuesday morning the muleteers began
to grumble and attempted to turn Duck
as the weather was becoming so severe
and tbe bdow si deep that they feared
thev would lose their uvea. Balmaceda,
knowing that almost certain death awaited
him it be returned, refused to turn back-
end in a fit of passion struck one of tbe
muleteers, who retaliated by drawing a
pistol and shooting the ex president dean
His companion then killed Balmaceda's
compacicn, and after rifling their pockets,
made good their escape. Their bodies,
according to tbe story sent here, were
found by a partv cf mountaineers and
returned to Los Andes.
Fashionable Wedding
London, Sept. 2; The marringe of
Miss Mary Lincoln, tbe daughter of the
United States minister, to Charles B.
Isham, of Chicago, took place at 2:30 to
day at Brompton parish church. .A nam
ber of fashionable English people and
Americans, mostly intimate'friends ol tbe
Lincoln family, filled tbe church. After
the marriage eermoney. tbe most intimate
friends of tbe two families partook of a
wedding breakfast at tbe residence ol
Minister Lincoln. ,
The wedding was, on the whole, of an
extremely simple character. Miss Lin
coin, leaning on ber father's arm, was
met at tbe church door by tbe officiating
clergymen and boy choristers, who pre
ceded tbe bridal party up the aisle to tbe
alter rails, where tbe groom, atended by
bis best man, major James U. .rost, mill
tary attache of the United States legation,
was in waiting. Tbe bride wore a wbite
f atin gown, a bcantifal lace veil, and a
diamond necklace given by the groom
In her ' hand Miss Lincoln carried an
ivory-covered prayerbook. Mrs -Lincoln
and ber daughter Miss Jessie had entered
tbe cburcb previous to tbe entrance of
the bride. They occupied tbe front pew
on tbe rigot aisle. After the eermoney
tbe newly married couple were conducted
to the vestry, where the wedding party
and members of, both families were con
gratulated. After bavins signed the

Driven From Their Native .Land.
Cobinto, Nicaragua, Sept. 3. Amoog
tbe passengers who left here Angust 23d
on the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's
steamer Colima were six of the most
prominent men in the republic of Nic
aragaa, who were sent to Costa Rica as
exiles by order, of President Sarcasa. The
party included three members of the
Nicaragucn senate General Faval, for
merly president of tbe republic; J. TV
Rodrigues and S Cnamarro. The others
are A. H.Biyas, E. Guzman and Pedro
Oritz. Tbey were made prisoners during
tbe recent riot in tbe city of Granada,
As Sarcasa wished to be rid of bis moot
prominent opponents, be determined to
send tbem ont of the country, and though
be succeeded in doing so his action led
to open revolt, wbicb resulted in blood
shed. Tbe mob which gathered returned
tbe fire ot tbe troops guarding tbe party
of exiles, killing seven people, among
tbem being tbe governor of the district,
four soldiers and two bystanders. More
troops were brought to the'scene and tbe
mob 'was dispersed without any further
loss of life. The prisoners were taken to
Jrunta Arenas. There is a very uneasy
feeling in Nicaragua at the present time,
owing not only to dissensions within tbe
country, but also to tbe possibility of
trouble with Honduras. Botb Nicaragua
and Honduras have troops stationed on
tbe frontier, and it Is the belief that open
nustiuties may occur any time.
Tbe Savior's Coat
Tkevks, Sept. 2. Tbe holy coat pil
grima have to undergo irritating bard-
ships during their stay in this city. The
weather is so warm that living iu an or
dinary manner would be sufficiently un
comfortable, but it is made so much
more so by tbe way in which people are
crowded together, two or three beds in
one small room being the rule, but in
some cases it is worse. One laud lady
has crowded nineteen beds into three
moderate sized rooms. For accommoda
Mods of this kind' the charge is 4 soil
lings a night.- Food is about tbree
times the usual price. All sorts of sou
venirs of the holy coat are on sale, in
materials from gold to wood. Every
second house is a restaurant or beer shop
and one beer shop bears tbe name of tbe
"Holy float of Treves." In order to -fa
cilitate tbe exhibition, tbe papal order

Train Bobbery.
St Louis, Sept. 2. A special from Del
Rio, Texas, says a daring train robbery
was committed at that place shortly after
midnight last night. All the money and
valuables in tbe express-car safe were se
cured by tbe robbers, as well as several
sacks of mail and registered packages.
The amount of money obtained cannot
be., learned, but it will . doubtless reacb
into tens of tbousadds. ' The train was
just pulling out from tbe station when
six masked men, who bad selected their
positions, simultaneously mounted tbe
engine, mail nnd express car.
Over forty shots were bred, literally
perforating the baggage and express-car
without injury to any one. . When a
dynamite cartiidge exploded against a
small window in tbe express car, the
effect was to tear tbe windows out, and
otherwise damage the car.

Lowell, Mass., Sept. 2. David Be
langsr was found dead in bis dry-goods
store, 136 Merrimac street, to day, bis
throat frigbtfnlly gashed. His false teeth
were found in different parts cf tbe shop.
It is believed that Belanger was attacked
while reaching to light tbe gas by some
one concealed in the store. A match

Death of J. F. FitzGerald.
From Friday's Dally.
Last evening, about 8 o'clock. Mr. Joseph
FitzGerald, who met witb an accident
during the fire on Wednesday, died. He
was terribly burned, and if he had 'sur
vived would have been a cripple for the
rest of his natural life. His sister was ex
pected on . the west-bound evening train.
but arriyed this morning to find her brother
dead. His brother Chris is camping in tbe
mountains, and is not aware of the .paii'ful
intelligence awaiting his arrival borne. Joe,
he was familiarly known among bis
friends, was a young man of the most gen
erous impulses, and in everything in which
he engaged he attempted 'to excel. His
sad fate will be deplored by the commu
nity, and his sorrowing father, brother and
sister will receive the heartfelt sympathy
of all. .
