TELEGEAPHIO.
Cyclone In Kansas.
WELLlNOTON.Kan., May 27 A cyclone
to-night plowed throught the business
part of this town, with an immeDse des
traction of property and some loss of
life, just how much it is impossible to
tell at this writing. A heavy storm of
wind preceded the cyclone about half an
hour. A few minutes after 9 o'clock the
cyclone struck: tbe city, coming from tbe
sou i h west. Washington avenue, tbe
principal business street, is lined on both
sides tor blocks with ruins. To add to
the horror, fire broke out among the
debris of Colonel Robinson's block, aud
Mrs. Susau Asber is supposed to have
perished in the flamed. A solid block of
brick buildings, containing half a dozen
stores and printing omces, lies in a
tumbled heap. Just across the street, a.
laborer named Fanning was taken out ot
the ruins dead, aud it is thought other
bodies are in tbe pile. Hundreds ol
dwellings are either totally destroyed or
more or less damnged. The city is in
darkness, as the broken mains raade it
necessary to shut down the gas works,
and siive further destruction from fire,
Tbe Hon. James Lawrence, Walter For-
sytbe fend Ed Forsytbe are dangerously
injured. Seven bodies have been taken
out ot the Fbillips. bouse ruins, unci a
large lorce are at work removing tbe
debris. Two members of the Salvation
Army are expected to die from injuries
received. At Squire Smith's residence
seven persons were more or less mjured
be streets are littered witb tin rooting,
cloth awnings aud timbers. Everybody
on tbe streets are carrying lanterns and
it is utterly impossible to get exact facts,
Tbe destruction is simply awful and every
minute adds to tbe horror Of tbe situa
(ion. Tbe Standard and Mail office is
wrecked. Tbe opera bouse and dozens
of tbe best business buildings are des
troyed. Fine school buildings and
churches are ruined, o-nd the loss will foot
up many thousands of dollars. No re
ports have been' received from other
points.
THE IDENTlFfED DEAD
Weixington. May 28. Tbe following
is a complete list of tbe kille) who have
been identifier at 2:30 this momma:.
Frank D. Campbell. Jnuies HaSie,
Leonard AdamsoD, Ida Jones, Mrs.
basher and her sister Kittio Struliu.
Professor Mayor and Kort Epson ans
missio? and were probably killed. Lieu
tenant William French and CNdet
Sam ins, of ' tbe Salvation Aroiv, Mrs
Murphy and a child named Mattie
Hidgea are badly icjurtd. Charles
Stooey, Guy Colly. Dick ' Weaver, Carrie
Mitchell aod Ed Forsytbe each received
injuries more or less serious.' 'The streets
are impassable, and nothing but rain
exists everywhere. At lead 15 bodies
have already been taken out of tbe TUins,
and something less than 75 are known to
be injured. Men are working; everywhere
trying; to rescue tbe imprisoned ones
No one now can realize tbe ezteDt of tbe
catastrophe, and daylight will alone re
veal tbe saddest scene of ruin and desola
tion ever witnessed in Southern Kansas.
Tbe Cole & Robinson block rains took
fire, and strenuous efforts are being made
to rescue tbe people known to be buried
there.
Wellington is the county seat of Sum
tner county and has a population of over
10.000 inhabitants. It is the center of a
thickly settled agricultural district.
fifteen' known to be dead.
Kansas Cmr, Mo., May 27. The Times
special from Wellington, Kan., says the
cyclone was terribly destructive. At 11
o'clock fifteen persons were known to
have been killed, and the investigation
of tbe wrecked buildings had only barely
commenced. Tbe cyclone did not do
much damage until it reached the center
of tbe town. On Jenerson avenue It de
stroyed the Lutheran church. Tbe fu
rious work was done within a conn pass of
four equares.bounded by Jenerson avenue.
avenue C, and Seventh and Ninth streets.
Every building in those two squares was
demolished and wrecked. Fortnnately
tbe residences in that locality were not
numerous, otherwise the loss ot life
would bav.e been much greater. Tbe
Philips hotel was demolished and' seven
dead bodies taken from the rains. Tbe
work of rescue t here hag only began. The
bouse was well tilled with guests, and
tbe loss ot lite is thought to be great.
Tbe destruction in the northeast part ot
tbe city is great. Definite details cannot
now be bad, as great confusion prevails
everywhere. (
. an estimate of the loss...
St. Louis, May 28. The Globe Demo
erat's Wellington special says the loss by
tbe cyclone will aggregate $500,000. Two
bnndred buildings are destroyed. Tbe
bouse of Squire Smith was leveled, and
several members of the household man
gled, probably fatally. Tbe fire at this
hour ( 3 A. M. ) is still rsging.
The Word Killed Him.
St. Loots, May 27. Henry Shelton is
pretty well known among the young men
of Olive street who take rides with
drivers out for a spin through tbe park.
Yesterday Sbelton fot on tbe seat of a
furniture van witb the driyer, a friend of
his, named Jack. . Jack drove for a
warehouse on Olive street, whose owner
calls it tbe "Pautecbnicon."
. "How do yon prononnce the name of
that warehouse of jours?" asked Shelton
"The Pantechnicon," said Jack.
Shelton made an effort to repeal the
word, gasped and fell sidevays off the
seat. Jack caught bim by tbe coat with
one band, stopped tbe horses and let
Shelton down to tbe street.! Then, jump
ing down after him, be found that
Shel ton was dead. A blood vessel in bis
heart had been raptured. The doctors
say it was caused by the effort to pro
ounce tbe word. Sbelton was colored
and ignorant, and it is believed ths com
bination of physical and mental labor in
volvecl in the pronunciation was the
cause ot the rupture.
' A fatal fire.
Boston, May 27. A fire broke oat at
about $ o'clock, this morning in the
upper part of tbe Hotel Royal, a cheap
lodging-house at 143 Court street., Tbe
fire was quickly subdued by tbe depart
ment, but not before one man was suf
focated, and several overcome by smoke
or burned. Some 250 lodgers were in
this portion of the building, and many
escaped witb difficulty. John Quinn,
aged 20, was found in an upper ball
unconscious, and died at the hospital- C.
Clark was overcome by smoke and may
die. William H. Wright was overcome
by smoke, and badly ourned - about tbe
back and arms. F. Burns, a cripple was
badly burned about tbe upper part of
tbe body, and nearly asphyxiated. Three
men were taken from tbe rooms in the
upper story. They are at tbe hospital,
and will doubtless recover. It is said an
unknown man was badly burned about
tbe bead, arms and face, and that be
disapppeared in tbe crowd. Tbe build
ing and contents were damaged to the
extent of about f 23,000.
An Jilevator' Accident
Seattle, Wash., May 27. Miss Maud
Waltbew, a young college student, met
with a painful accident in tbe Seattle
Savings bank building to day. " She,
with three other girls, started from the
business college, located on tbe second
floor. On arriving there, the elevator
buy, in a spirit of fun, refused to allow
the girls to get out. Miss Waltbew
jumped through the elevator door, an
tbe other girls tiled to follow, but were
detained by tbe boy. Miss Waltbew,
not recognizing tbe danger, stuck her
bead through tbe door to see what was
going on inside. Just then tbe bell rang
and tbe elevator was started down the
shaft. It caught tbe unfortunate girl'i
head and pushed it with great force
against the door. When picked up.
it was found that tbe bridge ot her nose
was fractured, her mouth cut and severa
of her teeth broken off. The elevator
boy disappeared immediately after tbe
accident acd has not been seen since.
'ire and riaxae,
Calcutta, May 30. Dispatches from
ainagar say that the whole district is
panic-stricken by fire and plague. Tbe
cholera is raging with unprecedented vio
lence. In the last week 1600 deaths baye
been reported, and probably half as
many more persons have died without
any record or notice to tbe authorities.
In the rural portion of tbe district all
work has ceased. The people die by the
roadside, and in the village streets, with
nobody to nurse tbem or bury them. On
account of the tardiness of burials the air
of tbe worst stricken villages is polluted
by horrible odors, and the ravages ot tbe
disease are accelerated from day to day.
The apparent hopelessness of their toudi
tion has driven mnst of tne population to
theft aud plunder. To accomplish their
purposes the lower classes have resorted
to arson, aud scarcely a night passes in a
village of any size without the setting nf
two or three fires. The capital of the
district, the city of Sinagar, has been
almost completely wiped out by fire.
Early in the week a clustt r of boo-jes on
tbe bank of tbe river Jhylumt were set on
fire, and a high wind spread the Annies
throughout the adjoining portion of tbe
citv. Bin ncer is poorly built and the
native buts are clustered more closely
even than id most other cities. Ine
brands and sparks were blown so rapidly
from hut to but that the inhabitants bad
no time to try to stay the flames. They
ran shouting and screaming through
the streets and many in their terror
plunged into the river and were drowned.
Those in tbe section of tbe city furthest
from tbe liver ran to the fields and bills
where they still live without . shelter.
About two-thirds of tbe city on that side
of tbe river where tbe fire started was
destroyed!
ON THK OTHER SIDE.
On the following night a hre was
started on the other side of tbe riyer
There was no wind at first, and com par
atively little danger, was apprehended
Tbe flames in anctber quarter, however,
soon lrightened tbe inhabitants, who be
lieyed that tbey were about to suffer, as
bad their fellows across the river. The
people started in droves to leave tbe city.
and no effort was made to stop tbe pro
gress of the. dimes. Several other fires
were started in the panic, and before
morning one-balf the rest of tbe city was
in ashes. Four thousaud families are
homeless, and about 30,000 women and
children are now living with little food
and no cover in the open air The daily
deaths are numbeied by tbe dozens
Hundreds were ill of the choleia, and
when the fires were started in the city,
exposure and lack of medicinal attention
has increased the prevalence of tbe dis
ease, as well as its fatality, two-loia
Help has been dispatched from Lahore,
about 200 miles distant, but tbe relief
corps is too small to give material aid to
tbe great mass of sutlers. Tbe natives
have been too . much crushed by tbe
plague and tbe loss of their homes to
belp themselves, and tbose who are not
struggling witb death or disease
smoke in dazed indifference, or squat
around tbe ruins bemoaning their mis
fortunes. Tbe condition of attairs in
other parts of tbe district is le,s appall
ing, only because tbere are no other cities
of any size. In many of tbe villages tbe
bres hare been proportionately as de
structive as at the capital. In the whole
district of Sinagar it is estimated. 50,000
people are homeless.
Work of tbe Wind:
Wellington, Kan., May 29. Great
crowds visited tbe stricken city to day.
AU tbe railroads entering tbe town ran
excursions, and the people in tbe neigh
borhood flocked in. The common remark
of tbose who bave witnessed similar
scenes was, tbat in extent aud complete -
ness of destruction, it surpassed anything
in their experience. Tbe miracle is the
loss of life was not four fold greater. This
is attributed to tbe tact tbat tbe churches,
schools, bouses and business blocks, in
tbe tornado's track. ' were practically
deserted, excepting two hotels, where
eight casualties, so far reported, occurred.
Tbe death list remains at tbe . figures
given yesterday, acd all the injured are
progressing toward recovery, except Mrs.
Murphy and Jess Brown. Tbe funerals
of Mrs. Scbascher, Kitty Strabn, Leonard
Al!amson, Ida Jones, Horton Upson and
Professor James Mayer took place this
afternoon from the Methodist church.
James Hastie was buried by the Odd
Fe-lows, and Ed Forsytbe will be buried
to morrow. Tbe bodies of Thomas Corn
wall and Frank Campbell have been for
warded to their homes. The rains are
being diligently searched. The work of
clearing away tbe wreckage will begin
to-morrow. Mechanics were at work all
day making the partially wrecked build ings
babilable. Temporary shelter bas
beeo provided for tbe homeless, ana tne
relief organizttion is raising tbe necessary
lunds to keep inem from destitution.
Tbe Presbyterian and Lutheran churches
are well protected by cyclone policies,
and will be restored, as will be tbe
scboolbouae. which was also protected.
The insurance on residence and business
property is scarcely worth mentioning.
Tne absolute loss is in the neighborhood
of $250,000.
Cnloa Pacific Retrenchment.
Omaha, Neb, May 29. The Union
Pacific inaugurated an active retrench
ment yesterday. A number of mechanics
were laid off and a general order to
suspend work in tbe shops was issued
Saturday. This anects oUu men here, and
manv Along tbe entire system. Tbe
officials give as reason for the redaction
that tbe earnings of tbe road, as well as
other . Western roads, bave decreased
rapidly daring tbe last montb.
An Enslaver Murdered.
Sault Stb. Marie, Mich., May 30.
Tbe mutilated remains ot J. Nosky, a
locomotive engineer on tbe Canadian Pa
cific railway, was found on the track one
mile east of Chelmsford yesterday. Sat
urday was pay day, and it is thought be
was murdered for bis money. Ia this
tbe muiderer or murderers were fooled,
as Nosky, on receiving bis pay, sent it to

day. Mr. C. E. Jones, one of the proprietors
of the Moio Observer, paid ns a call this
morning.
Mr. H. S. McDanel, of .Moro. candidate

East Oreaonian: F. H. Sncw. formerly of
the late lamented Lexington Budget, a
bright little paper which lived as long as it
couia witnouc sustenance and then resign-
eaiy took its departure from this vale of
tears, is in the city from Lexington, Mor
row couufy. Mr. Snow thinks of locating
in renaieton.
Catherine creek, in Union county, has
been the highest the past week known
for many years. Many of the streets of
Union are Hooded, and thousands of acres
of grain in the lowlands are inundated.
It it does not subside soon considerable
damage will be done to the grain; other
wise tne damage will be.slight. .
Yoncalla valley is being overrun with
briar. Ii is taking whole fields, and they i
seem impossible to kill out; but the leg
islature must pass a law tor their exter
mination. All around Gardiner and ud
Smith river the fox glove or digitalis is
worse than thistles; also mint is a curse.
All these plants were set out for orna
ment by early settlers, and - are now a
nuisance.
We are indebted to Mr. E. L. Loaiax,
geoer.il passenger aud ticket agent of the
U. f. lUilwav. tor tr.o receipt ot a cony of

A human skeleton was nuearthed while a
itch was beiug dug for a sewer from the

Berlin's richest citizen ha.i an annual in
come ot SVOU.UW. .but two persons in
Prussia payiug an income tax are richer. A
man (said to be a Rothchild) in Wiesbaden
tared on an income of SI, 000.000 and an.
other (said to be Krupp) in Dnsseldorf is
taxed on SI. 500,000. Krnpp stands at the
top of the V2bth class of luuoine taxpayers.
Tbe income tax rolls for 1892 shows that in
Berlin in the last year tbe number of
"thaler (75 cents) millionaires" ' has in
creased from 198 to 223, and that of "mark
(25 cents) millionaires" from 1,088 to 1,167.
Prussia has but 564 subjects whose annual
incomes are more than $30,000 each.
The engineers running into Umatilla
have just completed a house of rather
queer architecture, says the Walla Walla
Statesman. It was designed by R. W.
Kelley, and built with a view of exclud
ing the tropical heat which makes life al
most unbearable on the sand desert dur
ing the summer months. The house has
walls ten inches thick, with numerous
small windows set in deep caseings.
About two feet above the roof covering
the house there is a roof of four-inch tim
bers whicn is made to extend out over
the four sides far enough to protect the
house almost completely from the sun's
rays, and making the structure look like
a huge umbrella sheltering the house.
Inside there are four comfortable bed
rooms and a library.

Agriculture and Fruit Production in
Eastern Oregon.
The Dalles, May 30, 1892.
Editor Tnisa-MointTAiXBu: .
I ask the privilege of addressing in your
columns such of your readers as are engaged
in agriculture and fruit raising, and are de
sirous that their well dirocted ettorts may
meet success, relieved of the chances to
which they are now often subjected. In
treating this matter I do so upon the suppo
sition tnat tne vicissitude ot chancn is
bound np in a sufficient or insufficient sup
ply ot water during the growing season.
There are no farmers or fruit raisers in
Eastern Oregon who do not recognize the
fact that with its sunlight and soil success
is a surety, if a supply of water at call, as
required, can be relied noon. There is no
question that this supply of water can be
obtained with but very small outlay.
I want to be allowed through your jour
nal to present this matter; not as a theory
of engineering study of skill, but as one of
plain common sense with the evidences be
fore you. 1 have bo3ide me.upou my tabic,
the official reports of all the irrigating ef
forts which have been so wonderfully in
strumental in making the desert wilderness
of Southern California ten years since, to
day a garden of fruitf ulness and profit. A
communication from one of the ablest engi
neers of tbat state assures me that the ap
plication of sufficient water npon lands,
which before was worth in market but $2.60
per acre, after the 'establishment ot irriga
tion ditches, were worth from $50' to $108
per acre, fpr raising fruit and vegetables,
grapes for wine, alfalta for feeding lambs,
sheep and hogs, and all farming products
suited to the climate.
I want the privilege through your paper
from time to time to plaoe before our East
ern Oregon farmers convincing evidences,
which shall not be guess work as to its great
value, and will deal in figures, in facts, in
names and localities fiom which all who
wish may ascertain what a remarkable
change may be made in farming ana in fruit
raising by having plenty of water to assim
ilate from our very fertile sedimentary soil
the food needed for animal and vegetable
life, and have it when and where it is
wanted. , 1 well understand that tbe ex
pression "to have it when and where it is
wanted" is "heating the kettle hot," bnt I
do mean it, and it is safe to say tbat a sys
tem of irrigation may be furnished to the
settlers upon the plateau, plains and rolling,
deep-soiled lands east of the Cascade range
of high wooded mountains from its super
abundant supply of water, gathered from
the high condensations which await in
silent 'patience in the deep, black timber
only man's invitation and assistance and be
come blessings indeed to him and his chil
dren's children for generations to come.'

Deooration Day.
Monday being tbe 30tb of May, was
properly celebrated in this city as Deco
ration Day. Headed by the Regulator
band, the militia under command of
Lieut.-Col. Geo. T. Thompson- and Cap
tains Keller and Cfansman in cbarge of
A and C companies, who acted as escort
to J. W. Nesmith Post, G. A. R.. and
whom tbey preceded in the line of march,
the procession was formed on Court
street, bead resting on Third. These
were followed by a long array of car
riages containing the Women's Relief
Corps and citizens. Arriving at the
cemetery, tbe G. A. ' R. and military
formed in a circle around the monument,
which was gracefully entwined by
wreaths of flowers, and the Impressive
ceremonies of tne uraoa Army wa re
hearsed, Comrade W. 8. Myers act
ing as post commander. A select
choir rendered several beautitul an
thems in excellent style, and these
were befitting tbe occasion. At tbe close
the bomeuard march was taken, and an-'
other Decoration Day was numbered with
the past.
Daring tbe afternoon tbe city was al
most deserted, and all places of business
were closed. Very many ot oar citizens
bedecked tbe graves of Iriends and rela
tives with garlands of beautiful flowers,
thus devoting -tbe boars of tbe day to the
sacred memory of tbe dead. Tbe remem
brance of those who have passed to tbe
silent shore should be lovingly cherished,
and the observance of Decoration Day
should be universal not only for tbe
dead of tbe nation, but for tbose of fam
ilies, so tbat at least one day in tbe year
will be devoted to tbose we love,
and
who now sleep the sleep tbat
no waking.

A PORTION OF WAS00.
A Bnggy Side Through the Fertile
Begiou Between The Ualles and
Waploitla.
In company with Hon. M. P. Isenberg,
of Hood River, we took a drive to tbe little
town of Wapinitia Saturday. Leaving Tbe
Dalles at half-past 8, the town of Dufur was
reached soon after 10 o'clock, aud the signs
of thrift and progress were astonishing to
heboid. The spires of two beautitul
churches indicate tbe religious sentiment of
tbe people, and handsome residences, em
bowered iu shade trees and gardens
adorned with plants and flowers giye evi
dence of home comforts and permanency,
This is in the ceuter of a large farming
country, aod is destined to be a commercial
point of considerable importance. It is
named after the family of Dufurs, well
known all over the state, aod three gener
ations of whom aro represented. The old
gentleman, A. J. Dufur, Sr., is still bale
and hearty, and full of smiling good nature.
which make old age, like the afternoon rays
of the sun, mpre attractive, warm and
genial, than the rosy tints of early morn.
The leading merchants are the Johnston
Bros,, who are active, enterprising business
men, and who always succeed in everything
they undertake. Hon. G. W.Johnston was
member of the legislature last session
from Wasco county, and his record is some
thing of which anyone might well be proud,
The public school is under charge of Prot,
Aaron Frazier, one of. tbe best educators in
Wasco county, and by his management this
has been a great factor of development,
Mr. W. H. Brooks, the editor of the Die-
patch, was absent from town, we presume,
on an errand of mercy. His papor is the
exponent of tbe town, and ia tinnly estab
lished in the community. After .baking
bands with M. J. Anderson, our "Keoo"
correspondent, one ui the raciest writers
who ever used a pencil, we drove through a
country that was waving on every side with
grain fields green with tbe promises of
bountiful harvest, until we arrived at
the little hamlet of Kinrsley. ' And
here, in tbe store of Mr. Robert' Kelly
we shook hands with old friends, amoog
horn were E. L. Boynton, John Roth, P,
Bolton, Alex McLeod aud P. C. Ward. Mr.
Moore, the Democratic candidate for joint
representative, was interviewing his farmer
friends, and making political hay while the
harvest was ripe. The little village is in
tha center ot a very rich gram holt, and
crops bave never been known to fail. Par
taking of a bountiful repast, served by Mrs.
Boynton, who is si caterer- of well-known
ability, we journeyed on until we caiue to
the Tygh hill, and down this we crept
with snail like alacrity. Tbe condition of
the road was such that Hank Monk would
have hesitated before beginning the descent.
Far different from this is the new road now
being constructed under the supei vision of
Mr. T. J. Driver, and the grade, as far as
completed, is equal to any is Eastern Ore
gon. Mr. Driyer is a road-builder in the
fullest sense of the term, aud when he is
through there will be no objections to haul
ing any load of produce up Tygb bill. He
is doing his work honestly and quiukly, and
the thoroughness of it is compliment
ary to bim and a matter of which the people
may well feel proud. Tygh ' road will no
longer be a dread to the farmers of Wasco
county; but will be ss easily traveled as
any mountain thoroughfare in the state.
After driving through the beautiful mead
ows and farms in Tygb valley and stopping a
few moments at tbe village to shake hands
with C. M. Yandayn and William Cautrell,
we climbed White River hill, and was soon
spinning along at a rapid rate over the al
most boundless plain known as Juniper
Flat. Here tbere are thousands of .acres,
level as a floor, of rich, luxriant soil. Al
ready several have made their homes in this
choice agricultural region, and when the
scheme of irrigation is successful it will be
the garden spot of Eastern Oregon. Two
boars drive over a fine road, sad we halt at
Wapinitia, formerly known as Oak Grove.
Farms, horned-cattle and sheep, furnish the
community lucrative means of employment.
A school house the palladium of our lib
erties postoffiue and store, two hotels and
blacksmith shop constitute the village;
bnt in tbe march-of progress we expect to
see one of the prosperous towns of Wasco
county situated here. In the evening we
preached a short sermon from the gospel of
protection, and was followed by Mr. Isen
berg in one of bis brightest efforts. Tbe
audience was attentive and enthusiastic in
favor of Repablioaa principles, and we be
lieve the seed sown will bring forth good
fruit on the 6th of June. After an' agree
able conversation with our old friends Mr.
S. G. Blackelyand Mr. O. L. Paquet we
retired tor the evening, and next day
reached tbe Dalles. ' Mr. Isenberg met
with an old relic of Burks couuty, Penn
sylvania, in the possession of Mr. O. L. Pa
quet, and this was a constant and pleasant
remembrance to him during his ournoy
homeward. He is much attached to Penn
sylvania and anything tbat reminds him of
home and its environment ia a source of
comfort and an ever-abiding joy. As a
traveling, companion Mr. Isenberg is the
prince of good fellows! and when facing a
west wind and an Eastern Oregon dust
storm, his ever ready with and never-
failing anecdote would brighten the gloom
of surrounding difficulties. Ling may he
live and prosper, and never fail to vote .the
Republican ticket.
Proof of a Pudding.
The Dalles, May 24, 1892.
Editor TtMss-MoujrrAis saa:
A majority of the publio teachers of the
Democratio faith imiat that tbe policy of
the Republican party, especially its defense
of American industries, labor and capital,
is damaging to the advancement of the
nation. Please lay aside factional difference
maintained to sustain party ascendency, and
let us correct our judgment by proof.
One of the most distinguished and able
statisticians in tbe United States, Edward
Atkinson, of Boston, a member of the Dem
ocratic party and of highest authority in
industry, banking and manufacturing with
his political associates, in an article in this
month's Forum, while speaking of the claim
of competition in the labor market as bas
been claimed.says: "If there were, the price
of labor would baye fallen daring the last
ten years, while the great army of workmen
was coming in upon ns. But-the price of
labor has not fallen. Wages bave steadily
advanced. In 1880 tbey were higher even
than during the paper money period, or the
inflation period, or the period of the exces
sive demands of the war. General wages
were higher in 1890 than they were in 1S80
by ten to forty per cent, according to the
grade of tbe workman." Mr. Atkinson says:
"I submit this estimate in adyance of the
report which may soon be expected from
the national bureau of labor statistics, be
lieving that I shall be tully sustained." The
period that baa elapsed since the end of the
civil war is one of the moat remarkable in
economic history.
In spite of the disadvantage in which this
country has been placed by the excessive
taxes or duties npon materials of foreign
origin which are necessary in the process of
our domestic industry, by which we have
been forbidden to -build ships for ocean
traffic, by which the exportation of many
articles, especially heavy machinery, which
we formerly enjoyed, has been taken away
from us, in spite of tbe relatively high cost
of mills and works and due to the difference
in the cost of materials as compared with
our competitors. Such baa been the magni
tude of the demand, in part induced by the
influx of immigrants who have established
themselves in oar country under favorable
conditions and have become consumers of
our merchandise and manufactured products
as weil as produoers of others, tbat tbere
has been dunng the twenty-seven years
since 186S, subject to temporary variations
aud fluctuations, a steady advance in the -
rates of wages, a steady reduction in cost of
labor per unit of product, and a correspond
ing reduction in the price of goods of almost
every kind to tbe consumer.
Tbere has never been a period in the his
tory of this or any otber country when the
general rata of wages1 was as high as it is
now, or the prices of goods relatively to the
wages as low as they are to-day, nor a
period when workman, in the strict sense
of the word, has so fully secured to his own
use and enjoyment such a steadily and pro
gressively increasing proportion of a con
stantly increasing product. Hence, so far
as our experience goes in dealing with the
great flood of immigration which has poured
in upon us in increasing numbers during
these twenty-five years, greater in the last -ten
years than ever before, all the facts and .
tbe conditions would tend to prove that we
might invite its contiuuanoe, so far as it
consists of the intelligent and the capable
who constitute by tar the greater portion,
rather than impose taxes to keep the intel
ligent ahd capable from coming here to im- -prove
their eondition.
We now have specific and absolute data
in respect to manufactures, tha mecbanio
arts and mining going to prove tUat.tbmugh
tbe application of science and invention in
these specifio. directions, those who do the
actual work in tho sense .ia which the work
man uses that phrase ii. a lessoning num- '
ber of hours and with less arduous effort
secure constantly advancing wages, increas- .
iug purchasing power, better food aod more -of
it, more clothing, if not quite so good on 1
account of the obstruction to the import of .
wool, and also, outsido of a few congested
districts in cities, better shelter at lessening
cost to the occupant.
The agricultural class deserves some spe
cial consideration. It may be asked, If
farming ia not profitable, why do crops in-
oi ease! If market gardening is not profita
ble, why does product increase in quantity
and value? If farmers do not prosper, why
is it that there is a constantly increasing
demand for labor 'oa farms at wagus that
are much higher than tbey were twenty
years ago, to meet which demand for farm
labor there is no sufficient supply?
Mr. Atkinson says that within the last
ten years we have landed on oar shores,wbo '
have come out from hopeless conditions,
five and one-half imlliou of people, and, add -to
this seven million blacks who have ml-'
grated from slavery to freedom, and that
tbeir progress is the wonder of the ecooomio
history.
These statements as they are made by
Mr. Atkinson, the best Democratio author- '
ity or statistical authority, of our country,
present a remarkable homily when displayed
by tbe aide of Mr. Bell's assurances to bis -Democratio
friends in bis court bouse
speecch a few night's since. Mr. Bell pro
fessed to be an ecooomio student, His
statements of the result of the defensive
policy ot the Republican party for a quar '
ter of a century past, compared with those.
in the Forum by Atkinson, or that startling
speech of Lord Salisbury, delivered May
18th, at Hastings, England, in which be .
boldly declared tbe terrible condition of ,
labor and of industry, the home and heart
of which had been eaten into by free trade,
which was destroying the prestage of the
British nation, and driving its labor that
could go from England and Ireland to
America and elsewhere, and its great indus
tries to countries where they will be pro- '
tected. T.

Death in tha Turbulent Waters.
' Jxng Creek Eagle. ',
The Long Creek stage met with a fatal
accident near John Day last Tuesday even
whioh resulted in the death of Mrs. Hannah
Hudson, the proprietress of the Beech Creek
station, by drowning, j, '
It was about nine o'olock at night when
the stage approached the bridge crossing
the John Day River at John Day City. The
river was very high, and although over
flowing its banks, tho approaches to the
bridge were yet found to be in perfect con
dition, and the crossing was effected in per
fect safety. Canyon creek was very ' high,
aod had submerged almost tbe entire flat
known as the prospect boles or tailing piles,
obliterating the ' road from view, which
wound around among these famons piles of
gravel to. the city. Although quite dark,
the driver, Jeff Russell, was very cautious,
knowing the inevitable result should the
team leave the . road. - The water bad
reached tbe bed of tbe backboard, when all
at once tbe team stepped over ,a precipice
and were compelled to swim. The back
board becune uncoupled aud sank, leaving'
the driver and passenger at the meroy of the
horses to carry them ashore. Mrs. Hud
son, ia the excitement, becama strangled,
and sank, while the driver, Mr. Russell,
finally reached the bank and spread the
alarm. In only a few seconds the scene of
the accident was surrounded with a crowd
of excited people, aod not until working for
one-half hour witb grab books, was the
body of Mrs. Hudson recovered from the
.water. Din. Fell and Ashford were present
and used every possible means to bring the
body' to hie, bat it .was too late to accom
plish . anything. Mrs. Hudson leaves a
husband, three ohildreo and numerous rela
tives and friends.
The United States mail was sayed with
little or no damage save tbat of being thor
oughly soaked with water.
There ia trouble between the Indians and
citizeua in Grant county, and this may re -suit
seriously. It seems that a small band of
cayuses bad been levied npon and sold to
pay the costs of a criminal action for viola
tion of the game laws. Tbe Indians tried
to replevin the horses, aod, being unsuc
cessful in their efforts, determined to
steal them. On the morning of the 26 tb, ai
band of ten stalwart Indians attacked tbe
house in Which the deputy constable who
bad made the sale was sleeping, and, al
though a man earn to bis assistance, over
powered them and injured them consider
ably. Tbey then departed, taking with
them a complete outfit. Tbe deputy-sheruT '
with a posse of men are in par-suit of the -Indians,
and are determined to take then
dead or alive.
