MANUFACTURES.
There is no denying the fact that
The Dalles most inaugurate factors of
development if she desire to grow and
; prosper in the future. An open river
will be beneficial in making this a
trade "center, by reason of cheap
' freights; but before the city can ex
pect a large increase, in population
there must be industries that will fur
nish the means of supporting fami
lies. There are many natural re
sources that would constitute the bases
. for manufactures, and when1 these are
in operation a welcome may be extend
ed to the industrious and thrifty.
With he large amount of wool handled
by our warehouses annually directly
: from the producers there is every in
ducement for the establishment of a
woolen factory, and this would give
employment to many laborers and re
tain in circulation in this community
vast sums of money which are sent
elsewhere for fabrics. The improved
grades of wool which are now grown
in Eastern Oregon furnish a rare op
portunity for manufacturers to pro
cure the choicest raw materials from
first hands, and this would be a favor
able consideration with projectors of
the enterprises.- For these reasons The
; Dalles should have the largest woolen
mill in-the northwest, and should sup-
ply the market with the most durable
goods of different varieties.
This vicinity is not alone adapted to
sheep-raising, but has equal facilities
for fruit-growing, and this would fur
nish the basis for another remuner
ative industry. Peaches, plums, prunes,
grapes, eta, could be canned in this
city, and the amount sent out of the
county for these goods saved to thp
circulating medium. Aside from wool
and fruit, there are other resources
which ' could be utilized as factors of
development, and which would greatly
add to the business wealth of the com
munity.
Of course it will require the . ex
' penditure of capital to put any indus
try in. operation;' but capital so in
vested increases the wealth of ' the
, community, and by so doing benefits
the capitalist in many different ways.
The appreciation of the value of real
estate would be one of the results, and
this alone would furnish good interest
on the investment If this city had
double the population it now has, there
would be a greater demand for woolen
goods, canned fruits, eta, and property
would increase in value nearly 100
' per cent
The Dalles needs more people; but
industiies must be established before
these can be supported, and the ques
tion rests with our business men
whether they will furnish the incen
tives to growth and development. '
TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD.
As we frequently have said, we like
the British free-trader because he tells
the truth, though it hurts him, says an
eastern exchange, and we despise the
American free-trader because he will
not tell the truth when it would serve
him just as well as falsehood.
This is what the London Times said
on the 29th day of July last: '
All the operatives employed at the Melyn
tin-plate works in the Swansea district have
; struck work in consequence of a wage dis
pute with the masters. Many of the other
: Welsh tin-piste works are now being closed
owing to great depression in the trade, and
to the diminution ot prices. One of the
largest tin-plate manufacturers in the prin
cipality wrote yesterday: "The American
- ' senate will not confirm the decision of the
other boose, ' and the tariff will remain in
. force. Tin-plates are selling at simply ruin-
, ous prices, and a large number of tin-plate
works are dosed, " The demand for block
plate lor America is very large, -and growing
daily, showing that the tinning process is mak
ing great strides in America. . The result
most be that in a few months more tin
houses in Wales will haye to be closed."
That is the truth, as the English
free-trader tells it; he laments "the
diminution of prices" made in tin-plate
by the United States tariff. The un
truth, as the American free-trader
tells it, is that the price of tin-plate is
"higher on account of the tariff;"
"Tin-plates," says the truthful Eng
' lishman, "are selling at simply ruinous
prices." Says the untruthful Ameri
can free-trader, "tin-plates are selling
at higher prices than ever before."
"The tinning process," says the candid
Englishman, "is making great strides
in America." . "The tin-plate indus
; try " says the false-hearted American
free-trader, "is making no headway" in
the United States."
The Englishman has a temptation
to falsehood, for the truth shows a
condition of affairs that is distressing
to his country. The American free
trader is untruthful despite of every
noble impulse urging bim to tell the
truth, for the truth reveals a condition
of affairs that is beneficial to his coun
try But noble impulse does not seem
to affect him. He is happy only when
an American enterprise fails, and
proud only when some foreign country
gains an advantage over this republic.
An education is not complete with'
out the person is prepared to enter
some active employment or profession,
And competent at the termination of
iiis collegia te career-to become a success
fnl contestant in the great battle of
Jife. Any system of mental discipline
that fails to do this is lacking, in an
essential quality, and there is no more
pitiable spectacle 'than a man with a
well-trained mind unable to earn a
livelihood in one of the many voca
tions that are open to honesty and n-
dustry. - In this regard the State Ag
ricultural College, at Corvallia. follows
-i.'- (t... e i,:.

ing industrial pursuits with the UBual
coarse of scientific and literary studies.
The pupil, is inot only drilled in math
ematics; the sciences, and English and
other literature, but is also taught
some mechanical, pursuit or useful art,
nd when graduated is prepared to ,
take his position in the world of work
ers and not to be a drone in society.
For this reason the institution has be
come popular with parents who desire
their children to be intelligent and in
dustrious, and, while not discriminat
ing in favor of this or either of the ex
cellent . colleges and universities in
Oregon, we can say that a drill in
some line of honest daily labor will
not deteriorate from the excellence of
a scientific or literary education.
- The necessity of a public building
in this city is apparent to every one.
There is no commodious place for the
common council or the different fire
companies to meet, to house the engine
or hose cart,or as an armory for the mil
itia. A hall of some kind, aside from
the court honse.is absolutely necessary,
and the rent which the municipality
would receive from the state and
county as rent for an armory would
be a fund that in a few years would
equal the cost of the structure. This
revenue will amount to $50 a month,
of $600 annually, and in ten years
would aggregate $6000. This sum
will erect a very comfortable two-story
building, and the lower floor could be
fitted up for engine and truck room
and the upper could be supplied with
the 'conveniences for an armory and
also for public meetings of all kinds.
The occopancy by the militia would
not interfere in the least with that of
the city, council, firemens' meetings or
public entertainments. This will be a
wise and economic movement on the
part of the municipality, as it will
furnish a ball for the public, and at
the same time create a source of .rev
enue to the city.
The Teachers' Institute, now in ses
sion in this city, should be liberally
patronized by all those interested in
the proper dissemination of educa
tional influences. In a free country.
where the permanency of the insti
tutions depends upon universal intel
ligence, the public school should be an
important branch of government. The
means and methods used in instructing
the future citizens of the republic are
of the utmost importance to every
patriot, and during this convention of
instructors a free and full discussion
of these may be expected. There
fore, it is hoped that all sessions of
the institute will be attended by those
having the good of the people and of
the country at heart, for so far as the
means of education are made accessi
ble, crime will decrease and our coun
try become permanent.
The Democrats have taken courage
from an editorial article in the Ore
gonian regarding the political aspect
in the state for Republicans this fall.
arid it has been published very exten
sively in Democratic papers. It may
be a fact that certain federal appoint
ments in Oregon have not strength
ened the administration with Repnbli
cans; but there are too many protection
ists in the northwest to give the least
hope that Democrats can carry their
electoral ticket in November. We do
not believe Mr. Harrison wQl receive
as . large a majority in Oregon as he
did four years ago; but when the bal
lot is cast it will be seen that the state
is still in the ranks of the protection
ists. ;
Iniquitous Democratio gerrymand
era, designed to secure control of state
legislatures, have been declared uncon
stitutional in Wisconsin and Mich
igan. ' The New York gerrymander,
wnich was the most outrageous of
them all, has gone the same way, hav
ing been declared unconstitutional by
a New York, district supreme court.
It is a sad day for the people when
the Democratic machine is able to se
cure control of the courts and to influ
ence them to confirm them in their
lawless schemes for plunder of power
and publio place. The plan of David
B. Hill and his henchmen to lay vio
lent hands on New York falls through
because the people can still obtain jus
tice in the courts.
The revolt of the miners at Coal
Creek, in Tennessee, has been quelled,
and peace reigns in the community,
This is more aggravated than an or
dinary strike, for the state law was
violated'in releasing the convicts, and
in firing upon the militia an overt act
of treason committed. Those who are
proved guilty of this crime should re
ceive the severest' punishment, as it is
very important that ail citizens should
be taught a practical lesson that the
constituted authorities of any com
monwealth, are as supreme in this
country as in any other. ' Obedience
to law ia as necessary to the preserva
tion of free institutions as in the sup
port of any form of government.
Mr. Esheltnan, temporary chairman
of the Democratic convention at Olym
pia, Wash., in his speech of accept
ance, expressed regret that "American
tin mines had been exhausted in mak
ing gaveU for chairmen of Republican
conventions." The only relevancy in
this remark we can see is Democratio
sarcasm against the protected indus
tries,' and this is always relevant in a
free-trade speech, even one accepting
a temporary chairmanship. We never
heard of "tin gavels;" but Fuget Sound
timber make good ones, and this is
protected against the foreign article.
Peace reigns in all the cities lately
disturbed by strikes, and in a little
while railroads will be running and
factories in operation the same as if
nothing had happened. , It is evidence
of the confidence of our people in free
instituto.ps . that these labor ' strikes
cause 0.0 jpqrpsanent stagnation'to busi
ness or leave any bi.tter feelings after
matters have been letlJd, While
they lasted. Democratic demagogues
attempted to make political capital ,out 3
of the situation; but this has been
futile, and the vote in November will
not be influenced thereby.
THE PREVALENCE OF CRIME-
The subject o the prevalence of
crime in this country is attracting the
attention of the press, and when it is
known that there are annually more
homicides in the United States than
in any other civilized nation, it is time
that the alarm was sounded. In view
of this fact it is the duty of all those
having the good of the country at
heart to ascertain the cause, and apply
a remedy if possible.
Very many leading journals ascribe
the reason for this Btate of affairs to a
lax administration of law by the courts,
and the facility by which criminals are
acquitted by the quibbles of attorneys.
They state that murderers, whose
guilt is apparent, are frequently let
loose on the community by technicali-r-ties
in our system of juricprudence,
and thus,in many instances,act upon the
worst elements of society as a license
for the violation of law. While this
may be one of the many factors pao-
ducing this deplorable condition of
affairs, there are others at work that
are nearly as potent. In the British
. .
empire and her colonies the same sys
tem of iurisDrudence prevails the
" -
Common Law that does here, and
n via AAninlAlnt rt tYQ DO FYlA OVlt
" , . . "
,
terpretations or law ecep, wueu
changed by statute are made that are
in English courts, the same safeguards
thrown around the person of the pris-
oner, and yet crime receives its full
penalty. Lawyers in Great Britain
are about the same as they are in the
United States, and the same resort is
had to technicalities in indictments
and evidence to save the person from
being deprived of his life and liberty.
For these reasons law and lawyers can
not be wholly blamed for the frequency
and ease with which these who malic
iously take the life of. their fellow-man
escape the rigors of the penal statutes.
The final decision in all these cases
is given by a jury of twelve men, and
whether the man is hanged for 'killing
his fellow, convicted of murder in the
second degree, of manslaughter, or ac
quitted, rests with ' the consciences of
those constituting the panel. It makes
little difference how technical the at
torney may be. if the minds of the
jury are not convinced of the guilt of
the defendant he should be acquitted;
but, on the contrary, if they are satis
fied to a moral certainty of his guilt,
their verdict should be in accordance
with this conviction. These juries are
not composed of any class or cnadition
of society, but of all combined, and
in the jury-room we have the reflex
influence of street prejudice or of. any
popular interest for or against the con- derful in the preservation of life, or
demned. It may be true that some the imagination of the narrator so ex

After - a careful consideration of
these influences which Are called into
operation during the trial of persons
guilty of the most heinous violations
of law, we believe juries are as blam-
able as lawyers or courts for the prev
alence of crime, and, as juries are sim
ply the integral parts of communities,
the latter are morally responsible. If
the press would aim their blows at the
state of society, and try to raise it to
a higher moral standard, there would
be less licence given to crime, and law
yers, even with large fees in prospect,
would not be willing to use ingenuity

The action of tha Washington Dem
ocratic convention in session in not
endorsing the Lake Washington canal
scheme, and the report of the minority
of the committee on platform in de
nouncing the project will be endorsed
by many Republicans in the north
west. It ia not right to ask govern
ment am for any. improvement of
means of water transportation which
only benefits a single state or portion
of a state, and this is as true in rela
tion to Oregon as it is to Washington.
The canal from Lake Washington to
Puget Sound would furnish Seattle
with a . fresh water harbor for her
shipping, and thus rid craft hich load
at that port of barnacles and the
wharves from the destructive inroads
of teredos. But this -would not help
any other city on the Sound, and it is
therefore of such a local nature that
congressional' appropriations should
not be expected. - At the recent ses
sion it was tacked on as an amend
ment to. the River and Harbor bill,
and was one of the principal causes
that the boat-railway in which Wash-
ngton, Oregon and Idaho are directly
nterested was defeated in the house. I
It is too often the case that senators
Uty, to please their constituency, in-
ject into this great measure for the I
improvement of navigable rivers, little
r o I
schemes of local interest, and this has I
caused the River and Harbor bill to
be viewed with suspicion by many
honest congressmen who would
otherwise support its provisions. If
the state of Washington desire to
build this canal for the benefit of Se
attle and other ports on the Sound,
the people of Oregon should raise ho
objection; but when . tbe delegation
from that state attempt to hamper
the bill for the improvement of the
Columbia, which drains, with its trib-
utaries, nearly 300,000 square miles
and nortinna of r.lirn ataten thn the

At Coal Creek.

Morton, commander of Morton's battery,
has returned from Coal Creek to confer
with Governor Buchanan concerning tbe
situation there. Captain Morton thinks
tbe siiuttioo is yet quite serious, and that
trouble may occur. lie said that Gen
eral Games has information that between
2000 and 3000 miners were congregated
at -Jellico, on tbe Kentucky border, and
there was danger of tbem making a raid
on Coal Creek at any time. Captain
Morton believes that 75 or 100 miners
have been killed. He said that several
members of the sheriff's posse were still
ibissing, but it is not known whether
they were killed or not. Captain Morton
said tbe law-abiding people of that sec
tion are very apprehensive of danger to
life and property unless the leaders in the
riot are severely and promptly punished,
and tbe opinion is freely expressed that
unless vigorous efforts for tbe punishment
of tbe rioters are pressed, many law-abiding
citizens will be killed or driven Iron)

Captain Morton will confer with the gov
ernor of Kentucky for authority to allow
Tennessee troops to go over tbe line and
apprehend any Tenuessee and Kentucky
miners wbo may have taken part in the
riots. Captain Morion said it was Gen
eral Carnes' desire to have martial law
declared, but this Morton thought could
not be done. He said Judge En at was ot
opinion that the legislature alone could
do this, but Attorocy -General Fickle
does not think tbe legislature can declare
martial law, as it is prohibited by tbe
constitution.

The other two escaped. ' Tbe prisoners

Early this, morning a Lehigh Valley
engine was backing a work train to East
Buffalo, when it struck a sleeping soldier,
John Delaoty of Company D, Twelfth

whether or not be will recover.
Sheriff Beck says under the present
circumstances it would be unwise to re
move tbe troops. "We are getting in tbe

Adjutant-General Porter, "the troops

An Inspired, Ora-au'a Utterance.
Toronto, Ont, Aug 23. A dispatch
from Ottawa to the Empire to-day, speak
ing ot President Harrison's retaliatory
proclamation, says:
"What action tbe Dominion govern
ment will tako on tbe canal tolls matter,
In view of tbe altered condition of affairs.
it is, of course, impossible to tay until a
run meeting ot tne council has been beld.
and such a meeting will not be likely to
take place for some days. Apropos of
tbe discussion now going on. tbe views of
certain lawyers mentioned In yesterday's
ffmptrstnat Canada has tbe ngbt, irre
spective of treaty obligations, to impose
whatever tolls she likes on tbe United
States vessels passing through tbe Wet
land and St. Lawrence canals, seem to be
well founded." '

Hamburg, Aug. 25. One hundred
and ixty-nine bodies of cholera victims
are awaiting buital in tbis city. So great
is tbe terror caused by the cbolera that it
is difficult to get men for the work of
burying tbe dead, and many assistants of
undertakers bave deserted their places of
employment. Business is prostrated, and
all shipping is going to other ports.- So
serious is tbe panic mat Russian immi
grants now in the city find it difficult to
procure food, as everybody tries to avoid
tbem. Considerable excitement bas been
caused by tbe appearance ot cholera
amoog tbe troops. Three cases of the
disease and one death bave occoired in a
regiment temporarily . quartered here.
Tbe regiment bas been ordered to leave
Hamburg and remain isolated until all
risk of its spreading tbe infection bas
passed. The weather continues to be in
tensely hot, and tbe sub, unfortunately,
favorable to tbe growtn of cholera germs.
There 19, however, more wind prevailing
to day, and this adds somewhat to the
comfort of the city. Yesterday there
were 83 new cases of tbe disease reported,
and tbe deaths amounte'd to 31.
THIS IS BETTER HEW 8.
Paris, Aug. 25. The sanitary chief of
tbe war office declares Jthat the cholera
in Paris, Havre and Rouen is abating
and that it will soon disappear. Thus
far in August there bave been recordej
365 cases of cholera and 104 deaths from
tbe disease in Havre. Tbe medical au
thorities declare that Jtbe disease there is
not of tbe Asiatic type, although many
victims bave died immediately after be
ing attacked. The French steamer Saint
Andre, from Hayre. which bas been quar
antined at Panalic, bas four cases of
cbolera aboard, and one death bag occur
red. The heavy rains of tbe past three
days bave lowered the temperature.
Twenty-eight cases of cholera and sev
eral deaths were reported in Havre yesterday.
The Advance of tbe Cholera.
Washington, Aug. 23. The depart
ment of state is in receipt of official reports
concerning the alarming spread of cholera
from Asia to Europe. Some days ago the
vice-consul general at Teheran, Persia, re
ported that the deaths daily reached the large
number of 400 persons. He stated that 500
cases are being treated by the American mis
sion hospital, and made a strong appeal for
funds from the United States government,
having no money in hand for such purposes.
Watson R. Sperry, the newly-appointed min
ister to Persia, has tendered the services of
his paper, the Wilmington Morn 'mq News, to
secure such a fund. Secretary of State Foster
gladly consented to this ' arrangement and
gave Mr. Sperry copies of the correspondence
regarding the epidemic. Following the re
port from Teheran comes information of an
alarming character .from Europe. United
States Consul Johnson, at Hamburg, reports
that he has been advised officially by the
government health officer of that city of the
presence ot Asiatic cholera there, and he has
accordingly refused to issue bills of health to
departing vessels. Consul Williams, at Havre,
reports the outbreak of an epidemic of Asiatic
cholera at that place, with many deaths, and
advises the thorough inspection of the fast
liner La Touraine. These facts have been
promptly communicated to the health officers
at Staten Island and every precaution will be
taken by them, especially in view of the fact
that the epidemic has now reached the two
most important ports in Euiope with which
the United States has direct and rapid com
munication. Killed by a Manlne.
Cincinnati, Aug. 25. As tbe night
watchman at Longview asylum was on

raving maniac bent on taking life. Near
tbe door, helpless from fright, sood Peter
Faist, an imbecile, wbo bad given tbe
afarm. Tbe watchman called for belp, but
only after bard work could the murderer
be dragged from bis victim. ,aI bave
killed tbe devil !" be exclaimed. "I have
killed the devil; now we are all. safe."
Gerwing was dead when assistance
reached bim.
