DEMOCRATIC LOGIC.
Tho aggregate cost, in round num
bers, of - the United States army and
navy last year was $05,000,000. This
. is one dollar for every man, woman
, and child in the United States. A
hard-working day laborer, owing to
the indirect way of collecting govern-
' merit revenues through a protective
. tariff,' with a family of five persons,
paid during the past twelve months $G
toward the" support of the army and
navy, while Jay Gould, owing to the
same robber principle of collecting
taxes, paid no more than this amount.
But still the army and navy gave Mr.
Gould's millions protection while' the
laboring man received barely any pro
tection because he had nothing to pro
tect. Armies and navies are for the

- This is the most approved Demo:
cratic logic, and by such sophistry that
; party attempts to make votes from the
laboring poor. While we may anx
iously look forward to the time when
nations shall learn war no more,
. yet that time has not arrived; and un
r til it does it is absolutely necessary
for self-protection that - the United
States have an army and navy. Taxes
- for the support of this necessary arm-
- ament come from the wealthy in many
more different ways than it does from
the poor. The principal sources of
. revenue are from the consumption of
liquors and tobacco, and perhaps the
rich pay as much for these as the poor.

more of these than he who depends
upon days' ' labor for the support of

rich men pay for. imported wines at a

for a year. He or Bhe who is satis

- Europe is intensely excited over the
British taking possession of Sigri, on
the island of Mitylene, and strongly
fortifying the position. This is a
commanding point in the commerce of
the Dardanelles, and, it is very evi
- dent, England will not allow Russia to
gain a foothold on the isospnorua. Ihe

The Republican campaign in the
November states' this year is being
fought on the principles of the party,
and not on local issues. ' Protection
stands on its merits, and, notwith
standing it has been the point of at

solid a basis ad ever. It has been the
policy of the nation for long decades,
and the people will not change it for
any foreign economic policy. And
the party is solid no break or defec

the Alliance followers, and very many
of these will vote right when they cast
the elective franchise. - All signs in

..The milk of human kindness is a
constant stream in the benevolent
breast of our evening cotemporary, for
which we accord him our gracious and
heartfelt thanks. All the time he has
to spare from adding names to his
subscription list he devotes to the
personal benefit of the editor of this
paper, and we can assure him these
acts are duly appreciate!. Last Sat
urday's issue, editorially, was almost
completely devoted to proving that the
reservoir was full of water, and yet we
cau gut a dozen men to say that at the
East End, at the beginning of the fire,
tho, water soon gave out Sunday
nicht, at the Peters fire, from some
cause, the water was not sufficient, on
two occasions, for the hose to throw a
stream. We are thankful to our co
temporary for this indisputable proof
that, even with a full reservoir, the
present system is inadequate for pro
tection against fire, and,, with the sys
tem enlarged, there trill be no better
protection.
The organ appears to be terribly
exercised because the press of the state
thoroughly understand the water ques
tiODj 'bntthe fact is as apparent as
sunlight, that the pumping system
would have saved The Dalles on
Wednesday, Sept. 2d, and that the
present system would not baye fur
nished one inch more water than there
was; for the reason that, according to
theestiroate adopted by the city coun
cil, the new reservoir would only have
been connected by a single main,
while the pipes in the city north of
the bluff would remain the same as
they now are. We reason thus: If
the reservoir was full during the .fire
on Wednesday, no receptacle can be
fuller than full. If the new reservoir
was in operation, no more water could
have been crowded into the old reser
voir. Experience proves that there
was not enough water to subdue the
flames, and therefore the system . was
inadequate. If the Chronicle, the
ring organ, desires to assign the caue
to any other source, the editor is wel
come to do it for his own satisfaction.
The people know the whole history of
the water fight, and know what could
have beer accomplished with the
pumping system on Wednesday, Sept.
2d, when the flames were asserting
autocratic sway over our homes. With
the pumpinz system it would have
beep confined to one or two b!ocks,and
to-day we would not have been forced
to stand, weepine over the grave of
poor, honest, generous, open hearted
Joe FitzGerald or industrious Mike
Diamond, or sit amid the ashes of the
burned homes and hearthstones of our
relatives and friends.
The ring organ first excused the
progress of the fire on some flimsy
reason, now it says the "pump -gave
out" he means the hand engine
and in the same article says the pipe
that conducts the water into the cis
tern was so full of rust that the aper
ture was "scarcely large enough to ad
mit i lead pencil." This pipe had been
in the ground only four years, and
what may be the condition of some of
the pipes that have been laid sinco
1863! We make the statement, and
challenge contradiction, the present
system is inadequate for fire protec
tion this has been proved on several
occasions, and the experiments have
cost the city millions of dollars.
The great sensation in Xacoma is
the Fidelity bank robbery by the sec
retary E. A. Albertson, who ab-
soonded with about $20,000 in money
and $600,000 in securitiea By a
scheme concocted ou the part of the
thief and his accomplice to save de
tection.accepted as a last resort by the
president, the securities and the com
bination to the vault were procured.
If it bad not been the bank would
have lost the amount and would have
been powerless to transact business for
some time. Albertson is still at large
and may find his way to that paradise
of "good men .gone wrong," Canada,
where he may live happy and grow up
with the country. Undoubtedly
Washington is a progressive state, and
this gigantic bank defalcation is
another evidence tbat there is nothing
fossilized or retrogressive about the
new' commonwealth.
Hon. James G. Blaine is the only
prominent Republican looming up for
1892. He is thoroughly American, in
its significance of being in .harmony
with the institutions of the republic
in the United States. His policy re
garding the Mafia in New Orleans and
reciprocity with South American coun
tries have proved him a statesman and
a friend to the best interests of the
country, and if he heads the ticket in
1892 he will undoubtedly be success
ful. The watchword .for the next
campaign should be James G. Blaine
and the supremacy . of the United
States. '
The daughter of Col. Visscher, of
Fairhaven, is an artist in the delinea
tion of animals, such as jackasses and
mules, and the colonel positively states
he did not sit for either of the pict
ures; but bis precocious daughter must
have seen him while, he was asleep
and transferred the picture to canvas,
We do not honor Visscher less on ac
count of this accident; but the genius
of his daughter more. It is very evi
dent that the colonel should eat more
fish, and his brain power would be re
cuperative, and he would not follow in
the old time-worn groove of years be
fore. ' '
- The statement we published regard
ing the.number of families left desti
tute by the late fire was from inform'
ation derived directly from the relief
committee. We have always consid
ered this committee the most compe
tent persons to judge of the number of
destitute people, as they have carefully
examined the matter and know every
person who is in need or desires relief.

A FREE TRADE INDORSEMENT.
Among all the newspapers of the
United States, says the Chicago Inter-
Ocean, none is more intensely free-
trade and anti protection than the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican. It
long ago severed its connection with
the Republican party on that ground.
But in an editorial on the tobacco
crop of the Connecticut . valley, and
the prices the farmers are getting, it
makes an argument for protection
which is complete m itself as an argu
ment in refutation of its pet ideas on
political economy.
The market price for the new crop
is 27 per cent, in advance of Inst year
and 35 in advance of two years ago.
It is estimated that the cigar leaf crop
of the entire United States will com
mand a total of $8,000,000, instead of
5,000,000, as in 1890, or $4,000,000,
as in 1889. To this is added the re
mark: "The increased price of Auieri
can leaf will not enhance the cost of
cigars, as manufacturers will simply
use domestic leaf, instead of Sumatra."
And this statement, be it remembered,
comes from a newspaper which is
never weary of ringing the changes
on the free-trade maxim, "a tariff is a
tax."
The Republican's confession that
the McKinley bill has greatly bene
fitted the growers of cigar leaf tobacco
must not be taken as any Mgn of a
change of heart. The tariff, said the
late Gen. Hancock, is a local issue.
Springfield is in the Connecticut val
ley, and may be said to be the very
heart of the limited area of New
England adapted to tobacco-raisin.
That valley and the Houbatonic are
dependent upon tobacco, especially ci
gar leaf tobacco, for their most valua
ble agricultural products. Under the
tariff reduction of 18S3 tho duties
were reduced so low that, as the Re
publican puts it, the enormous import
ations of Sumatra stifled the produc
tion of tnose valleys. The production
of this year was largely increased, but
fell far short of the maximum capacity
of those valleys. If prices fall, the
cause, as the law now stands, will be
over-production, and not Sumatran
competition.
This is only one of' many practical
illustrations of the beneficent results
of the McKinley bilL Here and there
all over the country demonstrations
are being furnished that it is entirely
practicable to levy prohibitive duties
without any burden upon the con
Burner. It may be a little hard on the
Sumatrans or rather on the DiHcb
who own the island. The poor natives
who do all the work will never know
the difference. It may be tbat the
thrifty proprietors will simply raise
more coffee and less tobacco, experien
cing no net loss. Be that as it may.
the higher duties under the McKinley
act must be set down, from. the stand
point of those for whom congress was
bound to legislate, as an unmixed good
DEMOCRACY.
The great Democratic party of the
great United States eonvened in
great council at Saratoga, N. Y., and
after great deliberation renewed its
pledges of fidelity to the faith. As re
gards national issues, it reaffirmed
the doctrine of the platforms
1884 and 1888, aad solemnly stated
that it was against the coinage of any
dollar which is not of the .intrinsic
yalue of every other dollar of the
United States. To be orthodox in the
faith it denounced the silver bill
the Republican congress as a "false
pretense," the appropriations granted
to public works and bounties to old
war yeterans . as "the subsidy and
bounty swindle," the McKinley bill as
"worse than a war tariff," and reci
procity as "the Blaine humbug," etc,
Democracy, to be consistent, ccnld not
do otherwise than denounce in un
qualified terms every act of the pres
ent Republican administration, and
as it has not, for the past quarter of a
century, evolved a single new idea in
the art or science of government, the
representatives of corrupt Tammany
in convention assembled could not be
expected to make any move in that di
rection. To read the platform from
beginning to end proves conclusiyely,
as a very intelligent Democrat frankly
acknowledged to us to-day, the only
object is to defeat the Republican
party by any and all methods, and to
accomplish this purpose "the end jus
tifies the means."
The demagogy contained in these
enunciations of a great national party
is apparent to the most casual ob
server. On the silver question the
piank is as equivocal as it possibly
could be, and the sentence that the
Democracy "is against the coinage of
any dollar which is not of the intrinsic
value of eyery other dollar of the
United States," simply means that
silver dollar should be worth a silver
dollar in this - country, and nothing
more, for there are no other dollars
coined in any of the mints. The mem
bers of the Saratoga convention knew
perfectly well that our present dollar
is only worth 80 cents in gold; but
they were afraid to pats a resolution
that this coin should be up to the gold
standard because they might be con
sidered in harmony with Wall street;
and dared not say that our silver dol
lar should pass on a gold basis for fear
they might antagonize the moneyed
interest of the country; therefore they
couched their doctrines on the silver
question, the most important one now
agitating the country, in the most
equivocal manner.
The - simple opposition to the Mc
Kinley tariff bill, the silver legislation,
reciprocity and the appropriations of
the last congress, carry little weight
with the thinking portion of - our
population, and until arguments are
produced against them, or time has
proved them not for the best interests
of" the country, they will be consid
ered wise legislation. Of course, a
party, which for ' twenty-five years 1
past has simply followed a policy of
obstruction, cannot be expected to
pledge ' itself to any plan of national
government. The success of our
financial system, which has reduced
our national debt without crippling
the resources of the country; of our
industrial economy, which has paid
our bread-winners higher woges than
any country in the world; of our in
ternational policy, which has made
the United States the foremost repub
lic of modern times, and insured peace
and harmony with all foreign nations,
have all been the result of the wisdom
and statesmanship of Republican ad
ministrations. Each of the measures,
looking to these ends, has been op
posed by the Democratic party, and
the same demagogical tactics will be
followed in. the future. The Republi
can party has merited its place in the
history of the country as one of prin
ciple and progression, and Democracy,
however much its rough surface may
be smoothed and polished, can only be
known to intelligent 'readers as the
party of obstruction and retrogression.
We received a registered letter to
day, containing circulars from the Or
egon Press Association, and a blank
form of contract donating the first $24
worth of advertising submitted to it
at usual rates bv E. C. Pentland, as
compensation for his services as secre
tary; and that on all advertising sub
mitted by E. C. Pentland after the
said $24 worth, a commission of 15
per cent, be allowed. The editor
of this paper, with all due considera
tion for all Mr. Pentland has done to
wards building up a press association
in this state, does not believe in a sal
aried secretary, being persuaded that
emoluments attached to the office
would make it too eagerly sought for,
and would tend to change this frater
nal gathering of hard literary workers
into a money making scheme rather
than one for the mutual benefit of the
profession. As regards appropriating
the first $24 to Mr. Pentland and a
commission of 15 per cent, on all sub
sequent advertisements, we most posi
tively and respectfully decline, with
many regrets. For several years past
we have attended to this matter per
sonally, and have perfect confidence
in our ability in the future.
During the conflagrations which
have visited the city for the past
twenty years our fire departments
have worked most heroically, and,
without remuneration of any kind,
have used their best endeavors to save
;he city from destruction. The citi
zens feel thankful to them for the ef
forts they put forth, and it is most un
grateful for them to be criticised by
persons who never used the least ex
ertion on that terrible September 2d
to save The Dalles from devastation;
but kept a safe distance from the
flames, and, like bar-room politicians,
or parlor generals, would map out a
campaign in the policy of government
or the conduct of war, according to
their own opinionbetter than those

cessful; but when a manly independ

institutions may be considered safe
and solid in the keeping of the sev

The little town of Union, in th
Grande Ronde valley, is rejoicing in
the encouraging prospects of witness
ing soon a woolen factory in full ope
ration. This industry would have
been established in The Dalles long
since if the least encouragement had
been extended to the enterprise; but
our business men were slow in consid
ering the proiect. and it went else
where. . Union has good water power,
but not equal to The Dalles, and the
wool market does not nearly approxi
mate to that of this city. We have
all the advantages for manufacturing
industries of all kinds, and we should
be energetic and alert to reap every
advantage from them.
Affairs are quieting down in Chili,
and it may be expected very soon that
that prosperous country will be on its
usual solid basis. Already vessels
are loading lumber at Sound ports for
this hitherto distracted country, and
in a little while the northwest may
expect her usual lucrative trade with
South American republics. As far as
can be learned at this distance, the
congressional party represented the
better financial interests of Chili, and
it is not to be expected thai the - men
who composed the congress will allow
business to lag or industries to be
crippled. -
The Pacific coast will soon be del
uged by the doctrines of Democracy,
as several prominent Democrats have
begun the .tour' of the coast. Our
people need expect nothing new in' a
political line fro:u these gifted orators,
as the party they represent has not
evolved a new idea in government for
the past quarter of a century.
A million . dollars' loss in The
Dalles, and the city has the best pros
pects for growth of any in the north
west. Pluck and energy will build
the town better than ever before, and
this disaster will demonstrate whether
we have the grit and enterprise to
profit by our situation and wealth..

Horton was quite talkative lo Minneapo

To Smuggle Opium.

Two ordinary looking planks were lying
on the between decks, and Jucuinnis
passed tbem a dozen times in making his
rounds. He accidentally kicked one of
tbem and it moved easily. The plank
was 10 feet long, 12 inches broad and
4 inches thick. This arroused McGinnis1
suspicions, and he picked the ptank up
only to find it very light. A rigid exam
ination followed, which showed that each
plank was hollow and bad been prepared
for the smuggling' of opium. The work
had been done most skillfully and three
five tael tins of "dope" fitted the hollow
space to a hair's breadth. JSacb plank
would hold thirty pounds of the drug.
The planks bad evidently been in use as

The nitylene Affair.
London, Sept. 16. The intimate rela
tions between - the British and Italian
cabinets, Itisly being in closer relations
with England cither than Austria and
Germany, so far as informal official inter
course is concerned, lend gravity to au
thentic reports fiom Rome of Italy's na
val preparations. In this connection
attention has been called to the exist
ence of an agreement entirely distinct
from the triple alliance between Italy
and Great Britian to maintain the exist
ing s'atus in the Mediterranean. The
presence of a Russian fleet at Constanti
nople might be regarded as disturbing
the status, aud Great Britian, in repell
ing the Russians frorr the Dardanelles,
might feel justified in calling in the
assistance of Italy. It is noted tbat nei
ther Austria nor Germany have taken
such energetic steps as those of Italy to
place their navies on a war footing; and
they apparently look upon the Darda
nelles question, as an is ue to be settled
by England, Italy and Russia.
The question ot the occupation of
Mitylene is still a mystery, although the
island is within easy distance of Constan
tinople, Smyrna and Athens. The gen
eral belief is that an occupation has
taken place, and that a few days will
witness an explanation of the reasons
tbat influenced Great Britain in the
matter.
A Vienna dispatch says tbat the seiz
ure of Mitylene has botched matters
and discomfited Russia, and that proba
1)1 y another attempt will bo made by
Russia to send war transports into the
Mediterranean. The correspondent adde
that Russia's plan probably included the
sudden seizure of Constantinople, and
that the French fleet would have come to
the aid of the Russians in a conflict.
Casually aud Crime.
Bakeusfield, Calif., Sept. 16. The
north-bound passenger train, due last
night at 11 o'clock in San Francisco, this
morning was wrecked in the mountains
between Guard and Tehachipi. Last
uibt the (rain bad stopped to remove
rock caused by a landslide and wbile at
work down came a freight train of about
thirty cars, some filled with wheat, and
ran into the passenger coaches. Colonel
William Harney, president of tne San
Franmsco woolen mills, and member
of California Commandery No. 1, who
was standing on the platform, was killed
outright. A. C. Baldemen, a traveling
man, was considerable bruised and is
lying at the Southern, hotel. Several
others were hurt, including Mrs. A. A.
Healy of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Emma
Spring, of Laffatee, Ind. A train left
here this morning at 6 o'clock with all
the wounded on board. The south bound
train is still here waiting for the track to
be cleared.
The conductor sent the following dis
patch to Superintendent Filemore, at San
Francisco: "I stopped at the east end of
tunnel No. 12. There was a slide at the
west end, and I sent my - brakeman back
to flag any train approaching. While
standing there with the engine on the
train it started and before I could have
it stopped ran into the slide and pushed
into tunnel no. lis. the engine ex
hausted all tbo steam and water in doing
this. We bad to get water and refill.
and before, we could start. No. 22 ran
into us. My flagman hud not been
called in."
An Important lceisiuv.
Washington, Sept. 16. July 13, the
United States commissioner at Detroit,
in the case of a Chinaman found unlaw
fully in the United States, ordered him
to return to China as being the country
whence be came. The case was appealed
to the district court, and yesterday the
treasury department received a dispatch
that Judge Swan had reversed the de
cision of the commissioner, and found
that Canada was the country from which
the man came, and bad directed his re
turn there. Acting Secretaiy Spaulding
teiegrapDea tne deputy collector at De
troit that in case the Chinaman came be'
fore the court on habeas corpus proceed
ings, to request tbe district attorney to
take an appeal. If the proceedings were
under tbo exclusion act ot 1883, tbe de
cision will Le regarded as final. At tbe
treasury department with the informa
tion now before it. the decision is re
garded as one of great importance, and it
is said tbe practical effect, if tne proceed
ings at Detroit were under the exclusion
act, will be to render inoperative tbe pro
visions of tbat act. The attorney gen
eral has heretofore decided that under
tbe " provisions of tbe act tbe country
whence Chinamen came means "Chios,"
and tbe department has been sending all
Chinamen convicted of being unlawfully
in tbe tnited States back to tbat
countiy.

solute darkness, tbe floods having cov
ered tbe electric and gas works.
throughout tbo whole flooded region
