AN OPEN RIVER.
MM. '
An opea Colombia river, from Ket
tle Falls to the sea, will not be real
ized for many years, and the removal
of the obstruction to navigation be
tween this city and Celilo . will not be
begun by. the government for, along
time.- - The ' only permanent relief in
' this recard is bv- means of canal and
locks or by a boat railway, and a bill
' appropriating money for the latter was
defeated in the lower house of congress
during the last session. Although the
report of the board of examining en
gineers. n.DDointed to .ascertain the
- B J II
most feasible route and recommend
the most available method, has
not been made public, it is
generally understood that it favors a
. portage road on the Oregon side.' This
w'ill necessitate the same handling of
grain as is required now, and will not
be such a formidable competitor to the
railroad company as the canal or boat
railway would be. We cannot expect
V any action in this matter at the spe
cial session, and when it is brought
before congress it will meet determined
. opposition from parties who are hold
ing the land on the Washington side.
we presume, for speculative purposes.
That the growth of the Inland Em-
- cire demands an open river no one
will deny, and until producers enjoy
the benefit of cheap water transporta
tion the resources of the country will
- not be developed is also a fact. - But
the dilatory manner in which lmprov
' menta in rivers have been made leave
little hope of anything being soon
done,especially where there are private
interests opposing any scheme tending
towards the removal of these ob-
- ttructions in the Columbia.
" It will make little difference to the
people of . Tha Dalies if the work
above this point U indefinitely de
layed, for in less than two years river
craft will leave the wharves in ibis
city and transport their loads, without
breaking cargoes", to . seaboard. But
out people are not selfish in the mat
ter, and have always used the most
earnest efforts to influence actirn on
the part of the state and general gov
ernment in the improvement of the
Columbia east of this point.' The
press of The Dalles supported the ef
forts of Senator Dolph in the senate
on behalf of the boat railway and also
the bill for the portage road in the
last legislature. We are not satisfied
with seeing our hopes realized, but be
lieve that the great river of the west
should be relieved from every barrier
to navigation from its headwaters
to the mouth. This point is, the
gateway of the great Inland Empire,
and in a few years it may be expected
that the immense wheat and wool pro
duct will seek this city for trans
portation to the markets of the world,
An open river means every induce
ment to growth and prosperity, and
the future of The Dalles, at the head
of navigation of one of the great ar
teries of commerce on the continent,
cannet be anything but bright and en
couraging. The dream of a quarter
of a century is about to be realized,
and this point should become a great
inland commercial and manufacturing
center in the near future. .
THE WORLD MOVES.
In old Europe there are two great
battles raging, in which the people are
the combatants on oae side and kingly
prerogatives and old time institutions
constitute the contestants on the other.
' The German army bill, on a test vote,
has received a majority of- eleven, and
this may be considered 'conclusive that
the rights of the people are still subor
dinate to the prerogatives of the crown
and the decrees of the military despot-
iam whinh mlpa r.lia winnfrw . . Tf. arill
take ' long years of . constant warfare
. before. Germans .will enjoy the
first elements of personal lib-
- ertty, and it is doubtful if there ever
will be any progression in this regard
while there is any occasion for the

On the contrary,the British people are
emerging into the enjoyment of the
fullest freedom, and only lack separ
ate parliaments and the abrogation of
the house of lords to accomplish this
end; In that country kingly preoroga
tives are practically obsolete, and only
exist in name. The constitution guar-
: antees liberty to the subject, and this
cannot be abridged by king, prince or
noble. But the old-time institution of
one imperial parliament still remains,

. at this. Mr. Gladstone has a major-
ity, and there is every indication that
the people will be successful when the
- final vote is reached. But Irish home-
rule means more than sin ply a leg
islature for Ireland, composed of
its own citizens. It is the initiative
for the same privilege to be granted to
Scotland and Wales, and this will not
be long deferred. The next move in
British politics will be in this direction,
and some great Welshman or Scotch
man or perhaps Englishman or Irish
man will lead the people to a peaceful
victory on the floors of the house of
commons. Then will totter and fall to
ruins the house of lords and titled no
bility, and Great Britain will stand
side by side with the United States as
one of the two leading nations where
free institutions prevail.
Germany is juet entering the strug
gle, and it may be long and continuous
The people are being aroused, and, al
though the throne, may feel safe with
thousands of bayonets supporting
it, it already gives evidence
of weakening. The nineteenth
century has been an era of advance
ment, and the twentieth will be mora
marked in this respect There is a
wide-spread dissemination of informa
tion among the masses, and peasants I
no longer allow priests and nobles to
do their thinking. In Great' Britain
full liberty is the watchword.and there
is an ominous muttering in Germany
which is a prelude to a terrible up
heaval. The world will keep on mov
ing whatever obstacles may be thrown
in its way. '
THE CONTEST.
The issue before the special session
of congress is well defined, but party
lines will not be strictly drawn. There
may be more Democrats in favor of
unlimited coinage than there are Re
publicans: but it must be acknowl
edged that there are members of both
parties who are in favor of adopting
the world's single standard. That the
fight will be on the coinage question
there can be no doubt, for the message
of President Cleveland emphasized this
matter, and the advocates of silver and
gold have already begun marshalling
their forces and laying their plans for
the campaign. The contest will not
only be watched eagerly by the people
of this country, but by the commercial
nations of the world, for the great
financial battle of modern times is
about to be fought in the special ses
sion of congress which will convene in
Washington City August 7th. There
is nothing more unequivocally adopted
by Great Britain and other countries
than the gold standard of values, and
m . . . m
since the stoppage or me mints or
India that nation. has become more
firmly anchored to that basis. The
declension of silver since that event
has proved to the most incredulous
that it exists only as a commodity, to
be governed by supply and demand,
and the action of the United States
cannot put it on an equal footing
with gold in the world; but any a
tempt in that regard will only place
the United States at a great disad
vantage in her commercial relations
with other countries. While we sell
our wheat in the Liverpool marker,
and our fabrics, agricultural imple
ments and other manufactured goods
are suld to other people, there is, every
reason for adopting their measure of
values. 'Otherwise we could not trade
with them on an equal footing, anil
their bills of exchange would be at a
premium and ours at a discount Of
course the world needs silver coins, the
same as it does copper and nickel; but
these must be held subsidiary to the
one standard and used only -for the
convenience ot commerce. I nere is
bi metallism in every country now,
and perhaps always will be: but in
exchange silver will be taken at its
market value and gold for its face.
This cannot be changed by any single
government, and eyery attempt so far
by a congress of nations to place both
gold and silver on an equality has been
unsuccessful.
The most shameful act of any pres
ident since the war was that of Presi
dent Cleveland appointing Judge A.
W. Terrell, of Texas, to succeed Min
ister Thompson, of the city of Port
land. Terrell is the author of a bru
tal poem glorifying the assassination
of Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth,
written ten days after the murder.
Oswego Iron Worker. This is unkind
in regard to the modern hero of De
mocracy. He may have forgotten
that President Lincoln was assassin
ated by J. Wilkes Booth, a Democrat,
and the affair happened so long ago
that it is virtually bringing to the sur
face certain unpleasant memories. It
may be that there were secessionists
from 1861 to 1865, but all are loyal
citizens now if they can procure votes
by so pretending It is time that
these unpleasant recollections were for
gotten, and that the sickly sentiment
ality of patriotism should not perme
ate American citizens. It is an ac
knowledged fact that the natipnal
Democratic party always opposed the
war for the union, called our brave
boys Lincoln's hirelings.and resolved in
their platform that the war was a fail
ure; but the members or the organiza
tion are as loyal to the country now as
they were when Vallandigham de
clared on the floors of congress that he
had "never voted a man or a dollar
for the war." If J. Wilkes Booth bad
lived he might have been a cabinet
minister to-day; but unfortunately the
cruel bullet of Boston Corbett, a
Union soldier, killed him.
It is not necessary to state the im
portance of railroad communication
with the inteiior since the Regulator
has practically opened the Columbia
river to the navigation of the people.
This was fully understood four years
ago, when The Dalles Southern R R.
Uo. was incorporated by our enter
prising capitalists. The road has not
been built yet, and the depression
which followed the change in the ad
ministration of national affairs may
be assigned as the caust After the
special session has convened, and
money matters and the tariff are
again on safe bases, this project can
be expected to be pushed to completion,
There is a great deal of business en
ergy in The Dalles, -and when an im
provement is undertaken and active
work begins, the results accomplished
may be considered wonderful. There
is no city with greater possibilities
than this point, and with the capital

growth in the future may be phenom

which afford such juicy food for the
palate. The original blarney stone

casion would imply that it had been

AN INLAND METROPOLIS.
Astoria is no doubt situated on the
most available harbor except Paget
Sound north of San Francisco, and
from its location one would infer that
it is destined to be a large shipping
point; but Portland has the centraliza
tion of capital and the control of the
shipping lines, and will undoubtedly
maintain its present prestige. Astoria
has no railroad communication with
the interior, and this has undoubtedly
been a great drawback; but this should
be supplied by local capital. It can
not be expected that the Union Pa
cific would extend its road to seaboard
at heavy expense, when it receives its
share of the trade of Oregon by mak
ing its terminus at tne metropolis.
The country between the mouth of the
Willamette and tne mouth of the Co
lumbia is but sparsely settled, and
consequently there is little inducement
for any railroad to build its line in
that direction.
The Portland World, in comment
ing on the plaint of Astoria papers on
the situation of affairs, cites several
examples in which'the principal cities
are situated inland from the mouths of
navigable rivers, says:
"We have not -touched upon the lo
cation of Portland, save by inference
but this is true: If Portland ever has
a rival on the waters of the Columbia
that rival will be at least as far up the
the river as The Dalles, for the science
of city-building will not be changed to
make a metropolis of Astoria, or on
the lower Columbia,"
There is a possibility of this city be-
a. T- .1 f 1
coming a rival to jrortiana in me
eventful future, when, together with
an open river to the sea, there are sev
eral railroad lines from this point, ex
tending in every direction to the in
terior. This is an era to be hoped for,
and which may be realized. The
product of the great wheat belt of the
Inland Empire will most certainly be
shipped to the nearest market, and
when fleets of whalebacks enter the
Columbia river and load at the
wharves of The Dalles, then this city
will become a great inland metropolis.
The possibilities for this point are al
most unlimited; but location, resources
and an open river aloDe will not impel
metropolitan growth. .- There must be
inducements for capital to invest, and
there must be a generous welcome ex
tended to all factors of development
Men of wealth will not spend their
money where apparently they are not
wanted, and where those who have
reaped rich harvests in the past are
only concerned in the best way of re
taining their present possessions. We
do not wish to be understood to imply
that our business men do not . possess
all the necessary elements of enter
prise and foresight to make the head
of navigation what the laws of com
mercial supremacy destined it should
become. Of course, our business men
have exercised enterprise and energy
in making The Dalles what it is at
present: and they must not become
discouraged, but keep bravely on
as they have heretofore, in utilizing
all our natural resourcea--in complet
ing the railroads to the interior al
ready begun, and in bringing under
control the unlimited water power of
the majestic Columbia, They have ao
complisbed wonders. in the past, and
with the same tireless energy and lib
eral expenditures in . the future, the
dream of commercial greatness will be
come a reality.
It does not seem necessary for a
grievance to exist tor & riot to take
place in the streets of Paris, and the
recent disturbance seemed to have had
no adequate cause. But the mercurial
disposition of the French .people must
be considered, and this may cause an
ebulition at any time. Some act of
the assembly, restrictions placed on a
banquet of students, or even an arrest
by a policeman can create an efferves
cence and blood may flow. In such a
country liberty does not take deep
root in the soil; but can be typified by
a hot-house plant which the least un
favorable breeze causes to wither and
die. France has existed for a long
time as a free government, and per-
hays the people are desiring a change.
It would not take much to turn
these citizens of a republic into howl
ing communists, who would barricade
the streets, murder women and chil
dren and re-enact the carnival of blood
of August, 1871, which was such a
disgrace to modern civilization.

' The reDorta from New York and
other money centers are more encour
aging than they have been for some
time. With the approach of the
special sepsion of congress, and the
hope that the outflow of gold will be
stopped and the land not repealed
business promises to be brisk. The
country cannot prosper under the Chi
cago platform, and the expectation
that this will not be endorsed by the
Democratic congress in re-establishing
public confidence.
The policy of Mr. Cleveland
has not been such as to increase th
respect felt for this country by for
eigners, and especially is this true in
Hawaii. Mr. Blount has not man
aged affairs in those islands so that
the interests of the United States have
been properly protected. Wbei. Mr,
Harrison gave up the reins of govern
ment this country, in ita foreign rela
tions, -Was on a firm basis; but since
the inauguration of the Democratic
president this has been deciiledly weak
and vacillating. .
France never has been successful in
her foreign acquisitions, and her at
tempts in this regard have cost her
dearly. Driven out of Canada by
England, supplanted in Egypt by the
same power, her armies defeated in
Tonquin, the Panama canal a gigantic
fraud, and a London dispatch dated
yesterday says she is about to have
trouble with Siaui. The eagles of
France were nearly always victorious
under Napoleon; but the tricolor of
the republic has met defeat in almost
every country.
The cause of the present situation
regarding finances and business may
be summed up in a few words the lack
of confidence in the policy of the pres
ent administration. If the special ses
sion will heed the lesson of the last few
months, Damocratic members will not
attempt the inauguration of the doc
trines, of the Chicago platform, and
financial centers will beco.ae sound and
business will revive. There will be
"confusion worse confused" if the Mc-
Kinley bill is repealed. and more indus
tries will be closed and more laborers
thrown out of employment.
The mine owners of Colorado are
threatening war if congress does not
pass a free-coinage bill, and talks
of rebellion have been freely indulged
in. . Of course, this is mere effervesc
ence, and will soon pass away without
any result. Colorado may consider
her silver mines as her great means of
wealth; but the United States cannot
alone control the price of the -metal,
and any attempt - to do so only works
icjnry to the entire country. That
state must rest satisfied with whatever
action is taken, and should not be so
selfish as to favor jeopardising the
financial interests of the country to
build up certain industries within her
borders.
While the repeal of the Sherman
law may stop the outflow of gold from
the treasury, yet to establish public
confidence and give buoyancy to the
produce market, the special session of
congress must demonstrate the fact
that 'the. Chicago . platform - w.ll
not be endorsed by the Democ- j
racy. The . people are suffer
ing from uncertainty regarding the
future economic policy, and this . must
be driven from the. public mind
Whatever verdict the voters rendered
last November there is no mistaking
tne trend of public opinion to day,an
that is in favor of the single gold
standard and a strong protective tarifl
for home industries and products.
It has the effect to change the mon
otony of a constant discussion of the
financial situation to read of the usual
rebellion or revolution in some of th
South American' republics. The lat
est news in this regard is the bom
bardment of a town in Peru, and
it
may be expected that a change will

government These South A men cads
must have variety in political -affairs,
otherwise they are not happy; but th
silver question does not claim much of
their attention.' They have no time
for discussion, and when matters do
not suit them, they raise a revolution
and spill blood.

The Chiraeo Horror
Chicago, July 11 Tne center of at
traction at the world's fair this morning
is something not down io the guide
books. It is the rains of tbecold storage
build inp- burned Yesterday with such
fearful loss of life. Ten thousand people
gathered around the debris this mornirjff,
watchitg the search which still goes on
for ihe br-dits of victims. Early tin
morning the remains ot three more un
forlunntes were recovered from the ruins,
pii badly charred us to make recognition
impossible, though it is not believed they
were the bodies of fireman, owing to thi
locality io which they were found, being
eonie distance; from the der.dly smoke
stack, around which the imperiled tire-
men huddled on bo cupola balcony, and
covered with the mass of twisted stt-Hin
pipes and machinery which had fallen
from above. From the tact that one "f
i he bodies bad on a leather belt carrying
a pair of pincers, it is beiieved the vic
tim was an electric lineman, Inn dis-
covery opens the question of bow many
persons besides tin-men lost their lives in
the burned bui:ding. The total of dead
bodies so tar recovered numbers 15, but
the search in the ruiLS thus far has been
very slight, owing to the heat and con
fusion, and there is no doubt the list is
still incomplete.

during the tre have, constantly main
lained tnat several world's fair visitors
and electrical employes and other work
erg were caught in the flames, and to Jay's
di-covery lends color to their conieation.
It is certain that a number ot visitors aud
workmen were in the building at the
time the fire broke out. Therefore it has
been decided to make a minnte exam
ination of the ruins, foot by toot, as rap.
idly as possible. The Electric Light
Company had a number of men In the
lower pert of the building stringing
wires, wheu the fire broke out, and sev
eral of these are still missing. Four
Columbian guards are still unaccounted
lor. At least 100 people who have miss
ing relatives or friends were around tne
ruins this morning, trying to dentify
the bodies discovered. In numerous in
stances these are world's fair visitors,
whose friends do not know even if they
were id the neighborhood of the build
ing, and it is therefore probable that
most of them will tarn up safe.
Vast np bs the Waves.
New Whatc.im, July 11--Yesterday
the headless body of a man was found
on the shore about two miles below the
Chnckaout stone quarry, near Burnish
Coroner Brackett was notified, and the
body was towed to Chuckanut, and
tbence brought to Whatcom late last
night. Besides the head being gone one
band was also musmg, and it is believed
that the absence ot the head and band is
due to the bodv being struck by some
passing steamer. At the undertaker's
today the clothing on the body was iden
tified by Miss Booker, bs being identical
to that worn by ber la' her, M. Booker,
who mysteriously disappeared from his
son inlaw's bouse, in this city, four weeks
ago. Booker owned a yaluabie ranch six
miles from Sumas, but it is claimed was
in financial dithcnliies, and he is sup
posed to bave committed suicide in the

Void Holdings or the Treasury.
Washington, July 11 The statement
issued from the treasury department to
day shows that in the ten days from
June 30 to July 10 the gold holdings
have increased from $95,485,413 to $97,
286.677. The customs receipts at New
Yoik last month were f 9,837,798, a re
duction of $629,909 as com mi red with
the preceding month, and $203,472 as
compared with the corresponding month
in 1892. The significant tealure of the
treasury statement is that not a cent of
the receipts for last June were paid in
gold certificates, and the May statement
is little better in this respect. In Jane,
1892, 8 per cent of the receipts were paid
in gold certificates and 2 per cent in gold
coin.
Murdered For His Money .
Nbw Whatcom, July 11 Word has

bora called at bis cabin. The deor.
which was barred, was forced in. Lying
on the noor bait beneath the table, was
the dead bod; with a great gash on the
left side ot the throat. Bersing went to
the noith fork from Port Townsend three
years ago, and took up a ranch, und for a

Befaae State Cocktulla.
Charleston, S. C, July 13 This city
is still waiting with expectant awe the
punishment promised it by Governor
Tillman for refusing to take tbe state
cocktail from a state dispensary. The
dispensary law has ' been in operation
now nearly two weesg. wone a tew
liquor shop have been closed, most of
tbe two nunorea are ami open. Dome
of them disylay signs witb lists of soft
drinks, but the tiger larks in the rear
and shows himself whenever tbe pass
word is given. Tbe city is filled witb
Governor Tillman's detectives, but most
of tbem are known and tbey have not
yet done anything. No informations has
been lodged as yet for violation of the
law, a though it is violated daily. It is
faid that the papers have been prepared.
however, and the governor is expected to
swoop down on the citv at any moment.
Another complication has arisen as to the
suuplv of alcohol for the druggist, Une
of the largest manufacturing drug con
cerns in this city wrote to the state dis
pensary for a barrel ot altfobol, and was
told in replv that as Charleston repud
lated the dispeusory law, no alcohol
could be sold to the druggists. 1 he lit
ter will probubly order their alcohol from
the ortb, at- usual, and have it shipped
here, depending upon the railwav to de
liver it. The pt-ople here are much
elated at the decision of Judge Hudson
declaring the dispensary illegal, and the
local liquor-dealers are again loosing to
the courts lor relief. One of tbem today
took outs United States internal revenue
license, and will open a shop under it to.
morrow in order to make a lest case.
The Choctaw Tronbl-s.
WA8HiNGToN,July 12 The report from
Caddo, I T., to the effect hat Govtrnor
Jones stated that the Choctaws under
sentence of death would surely be shot,
is discredited at the interior department.
General Armstrong, acting commissioner
of Indian affairs, said today be did not
believe Governor Jones bad made tne
statement ascribed to him, and further
he did not believe the governor intended
even to shoot those under sentence, ex
cept possibly one or two ot the more
desperate ringleaders. From an official
source it is intimated that, in case Gov
ernor Jones insists upon the judgment of
the Choctaw court being carried out, the
government mignt withdraw the arotec-
tion ot the troops, when the Locke ad
herent would make short work of releas
ing the prisoners. However, no trouble
is anticipated, as it is not thought the
governor will deem it expedient to ig
nore the expressed wishes ot the pres
dent in the matter. Hi very pointedly
said it is only the presence of the United
States troops at Antlers that keeps Gov
ernoi Jones in his seat; that be is in no
condition to make threats against the
United States, for the rival faction would
probably clean bim out in short order if
the protection of the United States was
withdrawn.

h filiation who had not for two years
previous at least been attending the par

Aichbishop Ireland's policy. Monsig
nore Sitolli has issued instruction char
acterizing the Matz decree 89 a harsh and

nored, and further that great care and
charity are to be exercised in giving re
ligious instructions and administering
sacrament to children who do not attend
parochial schools'

oner Brackett returned this evening from
Hullingswortb, on the north fork of the
Nooksack, where be held an inquest on

through the back with a revolver, the
ball parsing clean through the body and
lodging io the vest. The body then had

ers of the body. The coroner's jury re
turned a verdict of death by a gun wound
at the bands ot parties unknown. The
body was brought to this city for intvr-
meut.
