': '' It is not surprising that after a suc
cessful administration of national af-
fairs for more than thirty yeara by the
Republican party a change to Demo
cratic policy should create distrust
- among financiers and capitalists, and
this is simply the condition of affairs
that the country is now experiencing.
TTrtAar nntAHnn inrlnntrifiH of all
kinds flourished, wages appreciated,
and the nation was phenomenally
prosperous; but, .last November, all
the factors which had made the coun
try wealthy were attempted to be
voted out of existence by the adoption
of the principles of the Chicago plat
form, which declared that all tariff
bills should be repealed. This was a
complete reversal of the plan hereto
fore followed, and was certain to re
- suit disastrously. It was not to be
expected that those who had money
iUIUUWU uugv mnii VI Q
dustries would wait and see whether
the Democratic congress were sincere
in the promises made to the country
during the campaign, and allow them
elves to become bankrupt when free
trade iras inaugurated. Ordinary
business foresight impelled them to re
trench at once, and this retrenchment
caused the whole fabric or traae to oe
shaken to its foundation. These are
the causes which have led to the
financial distress that has been suf
fered for a few months past, and the
quicker they are understood the sooner
... will relief come.
From this view of the case the pessi
mist has no foundatioa for the predic
tion that the turning point in the na
tional career has been reached, and
that hereafter it will be necessary to
exercise more economy in all depart
ment?; that values will never again
reach their former level; that wage-
earners and all classps of consumers
must retrench expenditures, and that
. the present distress is simply the re
sult of the law of contraction to a
normal condition from undue inflation.
It may bo true that in some instances
our people have been extravagant in
their habits, and that the practice of
economy will be beneficial; but if in
flation of values and extravagance in
expenditures Were the causes of finan
' . . cial depression the effects would have
been felt long ago, and the dire results
would not have been experienced so
' suddenly. The country is not nearly
. - developed, and there are natural re
sources enough to support more than
double the present population. If
there were - aa many people to the
' square mile as in some of the coun
tries of Europe the pessimistic theory
i might prevail; but when the large ex-
tent of territory uninhabited, the fac j
' . tors of wealth undeveloped, and the
diversified industries now in operation
are taken into consideration it falls to
the ground. There are millions of
. acres of rich land to. be culti
- vated, deposits of the precious metals
to be mined, and manufactures which
can yet be established before over
j production in any line is reached. In
stead oi inflation tne unitea states
has not yet reached a normal condi-
tion,consistent with national maturity,
and will not, perhaps, for many
decades.
It is not well to look en the dark
' side of the picture, and there is no
reason for so doing. There is a
... . i f a a !
any realized in the past. The country
will increase its population and its
sources of wealth, and the people will
, again be prosperous and happy, If:
congress will re-establish public con
fidence by passing a joint resolution
. that the tariff will not be repealed, in
less than six months factories would
run on full time,' . wage-earners would
receive good wages, and business
would again be on the same solid basis
it was a year ago under ' Harrison
and protection. - ,
' . The editor of the San J(jse Mercury,
' for publishing proceedings of the su
perior court, was fined $100. On an
appeal being taken to the supreme
court, this action was overruled, and
the editor was released from the fine.
This is according to a proper definition
of freedom of the press, and proceed
ings of oourts should be a matter of
legitimate news.
The East Oregoniem makes the fol
lowing prophecy: "We predict that
one or the other of the old parties in
2 fa w vAara will ntmA nnf flat fnntpri
for direct taxation, free trade and a
single standard of money, and the
other for free coinage of both gold and
silver, and protection to home indus
tries." Bra Jackson, aside from the
afafAmAnf. rfiafc f.ha atiiiia nf fliA t.impa
pretend such a state of facts, does not
publish the reasons why his soul is
thus prophetically inclined. Perhaps
the wish is parent to the thought; but
before these things happen great
changes must take place, and both of
the old parties must give up many of
their cherished principles. If these
theories were in the line of reforms-:
tion, which we doubt very much, long
years must elapse before they would
be adopted by the parties now in ex
istence. The world was not built in a
day, and new policies cannot tak'e the
place of old ones in a short space of
time. Those in favor of a single
standard are likewise almost as unani.
mously in favor of protection, and the
advocates of free coinage support free
- trade. To make the metamorphosis
predicted will require a radical change
from the bedrock up, and this is not
to be expected.
The centennial anniversary of the
laying of the corner stone of the na
tional capitol was properly celebrated
yesterday at Washington City, and
congress enjoyed a holiday. Although
not of very great importance in the
history of the country.but as an event
jn which comparisons may be made in- j
dicative of our growth and prosperity,
and to which the mind may revert to
an era in which democratic simplicity
and political purity ruled in the coun
cils of the republic it is of great sig
nificance. .' Washington was then little
more than a village, now it is a thriv
ing city of more than a hundred thou
sand population; the young govern
ment was untried in many ways, but
since that date it has passed through
fiery ordeals unscathed; a few millions
of people were then scattered through
the country east of the Alleghanies;
but one hundred years has extended
the empire from the Pacific to the At'
lantic, and from the Gulf of Mexico
to the great lakes, and increased the
population to 65,000,000. There has
been wonderful progress in scientific
investigation, in the useful arts and
mechanical inventions; but very many
long for the good old days of purity,
simplicity and honesty of the govern
ment of our grandfathers.
RELIGIONS.
The proceedings of the world's con
gress of religions, now being held in
Chicago, furnish very interesting read
ing matter. After one becomes some
what acquainted with the theology of
the far east there is not so much ab
surdity in the doctrines as is generally
suppossed. Buddhism teaches many
sublime truths, and even ConGcianism
will repay a careful investigation. The
west may justly feel proud of its ad
vancement in civilization, and of the
elevating influence of Christianity;
but it does not follow that the remain
ing races of mankind are enveloped
in dense ignorance and superstition.
Asia has produced the founders of all
religions, and nearly every art and
science came from the same fruitful
soil. The temperate climate of the
north has had a beneficial effect in
ridding the former of much of their
mysticism and in embellishing and -enriching
the latter by careful experi
ments and the study of astute minds.
All conditions in the east are subser
vient to ease and repose, while in the
west they are productive of energy
and perseverance. These have bad
their effects upon the lines of relig
ious thought, and, while the Asiatic
tn-ty be satisfied with the Koran as it
came from Mahomet the Anglo Saxon
desires to go further than the primer
or text-books in religion or science.
His acquirements in the realm of
knowledi; he applies as a means of in
terpretation of obscure truths, and his
developed understanding has a clearer
and more rational views of myths and
symbols. In this four hundrrdth year
of the great western republic, this
meeting of the expounders of the re
ligions of different races is very befit
ting, and can but produce a degree of
harmony among all portions of the
globe. To better the condition of the
human race is the one object of all re
ligious teaching, and while the manner
of accomplishing this may be different,
each should receive credit for honesty
of purpose. It is not expected that
America will change Christianity for
Buddhism; '; but the minister of the
goBpel can wish God speed to the Hin
doo or the Moslem.
The Atlanta Constitution pertinently
asks: "If the democratic tariff pledge
is to be carried out, why is the ways
and means committee giving audience
for the tenth time to the millionaire
manufactures?'. Why? Echo answers
"Why" Evening Telegram. Yes, by
all means, obliterate, annihilate, wipe
out of existence the "robber" tariff.
"Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of
war" on this monumsnt of Republican
oppression and dreadful despotism.
But, Mr. Atlanta - Constitution and
Mr. Portland Telegram, be seated,
gentleman, and listen. Mr. John
Dymond, of Louisiana, has appeared
before the ' committee on ways and
means against repeal 'of the sugar
bounty law; also a number of gentle
men from Virginia, Maryland and the
Democratic governor of West Virginia
have asked this committee to retain
the duties on coal. There was a south
ern gentleman from Louisiana who
urged no reduction in the duties on
rice. If our cotemporaries will exer
cise a little patience and keep their
thunder bottled up in their sanctums
and not let it loose through their edi
torial columns, they will hear from
more Democratic southern states in
referenee to the Republican "robber"
tariff.
This is good, business sense from an
exchange: "If Grant county only had
a large crop of hops and a little less
of something else, a wonderful change
in money matters would be experi
enced." The same may be said of
Wasco and contiguous counties. There
is too much land in Eastern Oregon
devoted to the growth of wheat, and
as a result hard times have been ex
perienced where it might have' been
otherwise. It must be admitted that
grain is a staple product, and that
breadstuff8 are always saleable in the
markets of the world; but India,
Egypt and Russia are competitors
with the United States, and an abund
ant harvest in the former countries
may lower the price of the product in
the latter. Hops are more certain,
and the net profit per acre is much
better. Our producers should inaug
urate diversified farming, and not be
confined to one crop. This will help
the soil, and will be in keeping with
the fluctuation of values.
Webb, the American who was lately
converted to Islamists,' attempted to
defend polygamy before the world's
congress of religions in Chicago last
Wednesday.- The indulgent audience,
who had listened with patience to ex
positions of the doctrines of Buddha
and Confucius, soon tired of this, and
Mr. Webb was forced to leave the
stand Polygamy is a crime under
eur statutes, and one would have the
same right to excuse larceny or bur
glary as tbis offense against the sacred
aaarriage relation. ; . i
A PRACTICAL LESSON.
The lesson taught, aside from that
of a political nature, during the pres
ent financial depression may be of
great practical benefit to the people of
the United States. For many years
times have been good, and there has
been little economy practiced regard
ing expenditures. Our citizens have
had good returns from investments,
and have not valued their earnings as
highly as if money had not flowed in
so freely. The American has had a
world-wide reputation for enterprise
and ingenuity, and for making money
by various methods; but he has
never been renowned for saving the
pennies. While foreigners could be
taught by our citizens the rules for ac
cumulating riches, they could impart
useful instruction to Americans how
to save dollars from cents.
In
many instances it has been demon
strated that Germans, Scaudinavians
and other immigrants have acquired
wealth in this country in vocations
where those "to the manner born'
could hardly make a living. For this
reason many of our foreign born pop
ulation have become wealthy while
those reared here have remained poor
under the same circumstances. - The
Yankee can trade and turn a dollar
into as many channels of business as
any man; but when it comes to keep
ing what he receives he does not un
derstand the first principles of practi
cal economy. His money has been
earned easily, and there have been
many different ways in which he could
replenish a depleted purse. If he
failed in any of the professions
could turn his attention to real estate
or brokerage or other lucrative voca
tion, and almost in every condition in
life there were opportunities for the
exercise of his speculative faculties,
But the panic has closed many of these
avenues for the employment of busi
ness talent, and, for a time at least,
the , American is being taught hard
lessons of economy. If he will profit
by experience he will carry into busi
ness transactions hereafter the same
thrift and economy he has been forced
to practice during the past few months.
Of course, the present depression is
only temporary, and, perhaps, in
year or less there will be the same fa
cilities for money making there were a
few months ago. If our citizens
emerge from this epoch in our history
with a proper appreciation of the value
of coin, with their native shrewdness,
they will have gained knowledge which
will be very beneficial to them during
the future.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The school of oratory in Washing
ton City is still in session.
Cases of cholera have been reported
ou the Atlantic seaboard, smallpox in
New York and congress is in session.
All these evils at one time.
The ways and means committee has
begun its work, and now Democrats
all over the v country will "bob up
serenely" demanding protection for lo
cal industries.
. They do things quickly in Brazil. A
few weeks ago a republic was the rul
ing government; but in a day or So
very likely the old empire will be re
established.
During the present financial de
pression there will not be much exten
sion of railroads; but we learn from
reliable information that at an early
date a road will be constructed from
this city to the interior. ' The opening
of the Columbia river, which will be
realized within I the next two years,
makes this an important point as
trade center, and transcontinental lines
will take advantage of it to secure
the business of interior counties.
Hon. Dan. W. Voorhees appears
little sore from the criticism he has
received from the press of his own party.
He has been long years in congress, and
should not be subject to the same sen
sitiveness that troubles younger mem
bers. The Chicago platform unqual
ifiedly demanded the repeal of the
Sherman act, and in his efforts in this
direction be is simply a consistent
Democrat. But on .finances and the
tariff questions the party is divided
into inharmonious factions.
The great ex-premier of Germany,
Prince Bismark, report says is nearing
his end. He formed the powerful em
pire from a number of weak principali
ties, and during hi control of the reins
of government was the statesman of
the age. To the interests of faderland
he has always been unswervingly loyal,
and his name is dear to the heart of
every German. The empire is firm
and lasting, supported as it is by the
best drilled army of .Europe; but he
who erected the substantial edifice will
always receive the highest praise.
The next move of Mr. Gladstone in
British politics is not known, and noth
ing is made public to indicate whether
he will dissolve parliament and appeal
to the people or continue at the head of
the government. It makes little dif
ference which course is adopted, the
house of lord 8 has thrown down the
gaunlet to the house of commons, and
one or the other must be supreme in
the British empire. This will be the
issue in the next general election, and
the masses will be triumphant and
freedom will still be-paramount in
Great Britain.
It seems that congress cannot be in
fluenced by newspaper criticism. On
the one hand, the Democratic press are
urging the members to pass a free
coinage message and adopt the free-
trade plaBk of the Uhicago platform,
while on the other band, papers favorr
ing a single standard are demanding a
repeal of the silver-purchase clause of
the Sherman act; but still nothing is
being done. It appears to be the
wiser plan to let congress alone, anJ
in time the members may become tired,
adjourn and go home. Then the conn
try will be relieved from the national
farce and disgrace now being carried
on in Washington City.
The crisis is rapidly approaching , in
Brazil, and it will be no surprise to
hear that the existing government has
been overthrown any day, and a mon
archy established instead. There has
been soma regret manifested at this
apparent result of the revolution; but
since Dom Pedro quietly resigned and
gave np the empire there has been
very little law or oruer in mis ooutn
American republic, and it would be1
beneficial to life and property if the
monarchy were restored. The people
are not sufficiently disciplined in mas
tery of themselves to be capable of
self government, and with such a king
or emperor is more productive of peace
and happiness than free institutions.
Some severe criticism has been made
on the actions of Father Flohr, in re
fusing to permit the interment of the
body of George Thomas who was
not a member of the church, and who
is presumed to have committed sui
cide in consecrated ground, beside
that of his father. We believe this is
a rule of the Catholic church, and,
while we consider the right of one to
be buried befcide a father, mother, or
other dear relative, almost sacred, yet
we cannot censure the priest for up
holdinz the canons of his church an
obeying the orders of bis bishop. The
v brother should have ascertained tnis
fact before the funeral, and then th
hnrrowin? scene at the grave would
not have been enacted.
The senate still refuses to take any
action on the repeal of the silver-
purchase clause, notwithstanding the
fact that the Oregonian has hardly
missed publishing daily a leading edi
torial urging such a course. It ap
pears strange to people, living in the
wilds of the northwest, that the Thun
derer should notbe. heeded by the up
per branch of the national legislature,
Of course it is tiresome to t&o read-
ing public to peruse these monotonous
articles; but what does the great daily
care for popular opinion? Then this
subject answers a wise purpose in at
tracting the attention of "the only
paper" in the northwest from the great
financial distress in the metropolis and
the eight bauks that suspended during
the present crisis.
The mad rush to Oklahoma was ex
ceeded by that to the Cherokee strip
Saturday and Sunday, and it is esti
mated that fully 100,000 started
the race. Some of these will secure
good homes, while others will become
penniless and suiter for food and she!
ter. This wild rush after anything
that promises a competence, without
much labor, is characteristic of the
American people. Perhaps a majority
of those who went into this territory,
just tbiown open for settlement, d
so with the intention of securing
choice acres and then selling out at
good figure. By this means they
would be enabled to procure wealth
without any great effort, and this is
very suituble to the disposition of very
many of our peopla
The following from the Roseburg
Review must be classed as Democratic
satire: "The 'prospect of free trade' is
gradually being felt throughout the
land, and the factory wheels and spin
dies are starting under its magic in
fluence." The "factory wheels and
spindles" stopped a few weeks
ago.after the Cleveland administration
was inaugurated, on account of the
shadow of free trade falling on them
They were running on full time when
President Harrison and protection
ruled the country, and will be again as
soon as manufacturers are assured that
the tariff will not be interfered with
by tne Democratic party, now in con
trol of the executive chair and both
branches of congress. Such para
graphs as the one quoted above can
not delude the people when facts are
so well known.

Chicago, Sept. 19 Last -night ownig
to tbe heavy world's fair travel, the
south-bound '"Big Four" express left
here in two sections. At Manteno, sixty
miles south, tbe first sectiou stopped fur
water just beyond a curve. Tbe second
section followed close behind and crashed
into tbe standing train at a high rate of
speed before the flagman could get back
far enough to give warning. Fortunately
the last car of tbe first section was em
pty, else no one in it would have beta
left alive, as it was crushed into kindling
wood. The next two cars were sleepers
and tbe force of the impact drove tbem
into two day coaches in front, whicb, ow
ing to their lighter construction, wtre
crushed. These two cats were filled with
passeugers. The citizens of Manteno
lent all the assistance possible towHid
rescuing tbe wounded and removing tl.e
dead. The worst hurt were taken to the
neighboring houses. Others were brought
to the city and taken to St. Luke's hos
pital. Following ia a list of the dead as re

Washington, Sept. 19 The beet su
gar manufacturers were well represented
before tbe committee on ways and means
to-day. Tbe chief speaker was Oxnard,
of Nebraska, president of tbe ' American
Beet Sugar Association. He said con
gress had no moral right to lepeal tbe
sugar bounty clause of tbe McKmley
law. T B Cutier, of Utah ; E P Fowler
and H C Hecht, nf California, alsospok
a&aiost tbe repeal of tbe bounty provis
ion. John Dymond, of Louisiana, also
stTODgly protested against lepeal of tbe
sugar bounty law. J H Hubbard spoke
for tne Louisiana nee plant, and urged
tbe committee not to reduce tariff duties
on rice. At tbe afternoon session a largi
nnmber ot ceotieman from Virginia
Maryland and Pennsylvania appeared to
protest against any reduction of tbe duty
ou coal. Governor McCorkle, of West
Virginia, said be was not a mineowner,
but the governor of a state wbicb bad
16.000 square miles of coal mines, and he
wanted protection for (he greatest Indus'
try in bis state, pleading eloquently for
tbe retention of duties on coal. When
the governor bad finished Mr. Tarsney
asaea :
'Tbe platform upon which you were
elected tavored a reduction of duties, did
it notr'
"Yes, sir."
"Then why are you advocating protec
tioni"
"I do not believe in a tariff whicb
gives tour or five times as high protection
to one industry as another."
Reed said be bad ia vain attempted to
exolpin to the Democratic members the
fallacy of their position, but witb the as
sistance of a Democratic governor, elec
ted on a Democratic platform, be might
finally accomplish his purpose. Ad

Sept. 29) The situation here is one of
expectancy and waiting. Piantcts are

and several murders have occurred. The
planters, it is said, have mado a demand
id the provisional government to admit
a large number of Chinese laborers nuder

tion immediately to thoroughly bombard
tbe city with all his ships unless it-is
promptly surrendered.
Tbis informatiob comes from tbe agent
of a leading banking- house of-lhis city
witb large Brazilian interests, and is be
lieved to be thoroughly reliable. Tbe
dispatch adds that Rio is in the utmost
consternation and dismay. Citizens are
fleeing to the country with such of their
belongings as tbey can carry. Merchants
are packing goods in cellars preparatory
to following 'hem. Consulate represen
tatives of tbe powers are using their ut
most tfforts to dissuade the rebel com
rounder from carrying out bis threat,
but so far without avail. Heavy pres
sure is being brought to bear on tbe local
authorities lo iuduce them to surrender,
ai it is considered) folly to resist, tbe
forts being unable to do anything
agaiust tbe rebel gunboats, and the land
artillery is unable to reach them from
tbeir shelter behind the islands in the
bay from which they- throw shells into
tbe city. It is recognized tbat to b old
out means simply tbe destruction of t he
city wifhout any compensation or advan
tage to Peixoto. lu tbe meantime tbree
re bel vessels reached Santos, and after a
sha rp fight succeeded in landing a strong
force ot marines, and at tbe time the dis
patch was sent were endeavoring to tak e

success.

The Situation at Klo.
London, Sept. 21 PriViiru ndvices
from Rio Janeiro say a furious bo mbard-
ment is expected daily.
The only reason the bombardment has
not commenced is tbat yesterduy nego
tiations between the rebels and the gov.
emniti-.t were undertaken at thu insttnee
of foreign powers and foreign warships
who wished to save the c:ity from des
truction. It is not believed they will
amount to anything; in fact, it is be
lieytd the government is merely prolong
ing them to a low the.non-cooi'batauts to
get away and the merchants to eave
good.
The statemcsts of yesterJiy are con
firmed from several sources. An attempt
of i tie Brazilian minU'.er to belittle tbe
rebellion is not accepted with any cred
ence in London. The people of "Rio ad
nut tbe rebellion has progressed to such
an extent that it is better to let the city
fall into the bands of tbe insursente than
to be shelled. The rebels at Rio are in
communication with the insurgents in
the couth, and all are acting in unison.
After success, at Santos thev propose to
attack -'orte Allegre and Rio Grande do
Sul. In fact, the insurgent vessels, it is
said, have already started on that errand
There is ao doubt the rebels are meeting
with success. In fact, a report tbat tbey
have occupied Rio is in circulation here
tbis morning.
