1110 IlUlCD-lUUUUiaiUCQl SATURDAY. . . . . .NOVEMBER 25, 1893 The committee on ways and means baa its chairman and a majority of its Democratic members from the south ern states, and these gentlemen will not, probably, pay any great attention to the elections of last week, says an exchange. The south has always been opposed to New England, and a pro test from Massachusetts against tariff revision is only calculated to spur on the southern members ef this most im portant committee in congress. But . . . . I f 11 c tne varia reformers are tur mt ui ul timo beginning to hear protests from their own section.. The Democratic governor of West Virginia was among these who recently appeared before Mr. Wilson's committee to protest against free coal There is no ques tion about his representing a stronger sentiment in West Virginia than does Mr. Wilson, who is a free-trader. Alabama has also sent a protest and an appeal to save the infant industries f Birmingham. The Commercial Club f that enterprising city held a oieet- - 1 . i T? - J 1 J i - J . w.at-.inn to the Alabama congressmen on the subject of free coal and free iron ore, This petition appeals on behalf of 350,' 000 of the people of Alabama, sup- utwtArl in whnlo llO triA minPTfll 1 fl H 11 P try of one-third of the state's tax val ves. It asks that the present duty on coal and ore be retained. This is not to help out New England, but to pre' rent that section from "robbing the south." - General Hancock remarked that the tariff was a local question, anil his : t t nAt in Arnlnininff that, it was important to every locality, with different industries to be protected in eicb. Bat here in the wry beginning f this free.trade ad minis! ration comes the south West Virginia, Alabama and Tennessee protesting againtt free ore and free coal, and for tiio svtoie reason that Pennsylvania and Ohio protes. But they !o farther than either Pennsylvania and Ohio in that they complain of. free-trade as in the interest of New England. This petition says that Alabama fur naces are down to hard pan no and can stand no furtht-r adversititM. Twenty per cenU of the southern iron product is now marketed' on th north Atlantic seaboard, and free coil and re would reduce the cost of makin-j iron on the north Atlantic tide water by $2.50 a ton, taking this market from Alabama and Tennessee. Thir furnaces would succumb to the -strain and millions of jinoney in these prop erties would become valueless. "Driven out of the eastern market wo would be thrown back upon the west," ays the report "and there sompeti tion is already close." In taking the duty oft coal and ore the southern states have everything to lese and nothing to gain. They have pro6ted by cheap labor, but they can go no fnrthnr. It would also BtOD the flow f capital into these southern states, and the capital for development must come from the outside. These southern petitioners complain that the demand for free coal "comes from the north" Atlantic seaboard, where it w.ould cheapen fuel and in crease the ability ot the New. England cotton factories to compete With those 111 VU WHllh ill-" minimum grown wealthy by duties which op pressed the south. Why should the south give np an . advantage which it now hasf ' ... This is an interesting question, and si nee it is made by Democrats to Dem ocrats in behalf of a Democratic state which was -"the cradle of confeder acy," and against New . England, "which hss always been against., the south," we can leave it ' to the great Democratic party, which holds chat protection is unconstitutional. It is, however, interesting to nave tne sou to trying for protection to its infant in- dnfctriea to the congress it has placed in power for the especial purpose of destroying protective tariffs and driv ing out the "infamous robber-tarriff borons." Inland Waterwayr, In an extensive article tn the "Inland Waterways of the Northwest," the Sevkw qf Review for November has the follow ing in reference to the "Possibilities of thtk f!nlnm riia" - Next to the Mississippi, our most im portant river is the Columbia. The peo ple of the eastern part of the United States generally have a very inadequate idea of the valley of the Columbia, the Mississippi of the west, a region which the senate committee on transportation routes to the sea has glowingly described as "unsurpassed, if indeed equaled, in aericultural.grazing and mineral produc tiveness by an era of equal size on the habitable globe." Tbe territory drained oy the Columbia river and its tributaries is equal to one-fifteenth of the entire United States, and is larger than the com bined area of New England, the Middle States, Maryland, Virginia and West Vir ginia. This vast treasure house of natu ral resources will be unlocked by the construction of the Nicaragua canal and the farther improvement of the Columbia river. The latter work has been well be gun. The cascades of the Co lombia river, 160 miles from the mouth, present the first obstacles to navigation. At this place the river falls 45 feet, a high water, in tour and a halt miles; but a canal 3000 feet long constructed with a single lock will Boon remove this barrier to commerce Two hundred and twenty miles from the sea are the dalles, where the river falls 81 feet at low water in a distance of twelve miles. The expense necessary to overcome this obstruction will be large. A board appointed by the secretary of war, upon tbe authorization f the river and harbor ' act ot 1888, thought that the use of Jocks would in volve a greater expense than the com merce of the river warranted and recom mended raising and lowering boats by means of two hydraulic vertical lifts, one to be placed near the lower end and one near the upper end of the dalles, tbe boats to be carried from one lift to the other by means f a boat railway eight miles long. By an estimated outlay of $3,576,856 forty , i ii i i r I i- 1 boats could be passed each way in twenty-four hours. The plan was not ac cepted by congress, and the river and harbor act of 1893 directed the president of the United States to appoint another board to re-examine the obstructions at tbe dalles for the Durpose of reporting the best method of overcoming them. With the improvements atThe Dalles once com pleted, the lower Columbia will be navi gable to Priest's rapids, 409 milos from the ocean. Eeport of Grand Jury. - In the circuit court of the state ot Ore gon for Wasco county. Ia the matter of the final report of the grand jury for the Novcnber term, 1893. We, the grand jury, for the November term, 1893, respectfully show to the court as follows: We have now been in session five days, and have found eleven indictments and six not true bills, alt of which have been re ported to the court from time to time as our work progressed. We have also inquired into tbe condition and management of the public prisons of the county and also into the condition aDcl management ef the offices pertaiuiog to the courts of justice in the couuty, and have examined the books and accounts of the county ofiiceis so tar as we were able to il so in the short time we had and without as sistance of any skilled accountant. We find all the books of the clerk's office well and neatly kept, and tbe same may be said of the sheriffs office, and all accounts of both clerk and sheriff are correctly kept so far as we are able to jude. The county treasurer's books appear to be in good condition and well kept. The fol lowing financial statement was rendered us by the treasurer, showing the financial standing of the county on the first of No vember, 1893: On hand Nov. 1. 1893 352 25 Ot this amount the following sums belong to the funds specified: , School fund 28 CO Warrants out covering the above amount: Road and Brieve Fund 1333 99 Warrants to be cashed on sight: Due from Sherman County 844 90 Eatray Fund 33 10 Estate Fund J46 39 rv,-i 2968 87 ., We find the coun'y jtil clean and well kept. We find, however, that the floor- of the jail is made ot brick covered by cement, and find that the same is badly worn, very rough and has inauy clep depressions in it. We, thetefore, recommend that it be re paired and placed ia better condition. We tin! that about the only ventilation there is for the j vil is through the brs of "the rear door of the jiil, which oprns i:.to the jail yard. We also find that ihrre is a door leading from the hallway of. the ccurt hoixe irti this same jtil yard and that per sons may pats into the jail yard in that way at any hour of the day uiiobserve l and that it is continually done. When persona are in the jai yard they have free acces.,to this rear d ior of the an.i it. wjuM be a very easy mat;er for anv one, wl o was so ills- p-jecd, to pass a weapon t.i the inmates. of the jail, t.r furciah them wild tools whereby they might make their eejpe. We think thxt this would .be very daugercua to t'ie j tilor m cum desperate criminals should be confined therein, arid it nlao reistleis the jiil unsaia as prison. We, iheieforc, earnestly recommend that some suitable measures be taken to render this matter safe. We also visited the city jiiland find it well kept and managed. As prisoners are not ueually confined there but a few days at a time and for minor offenses only, we think it reasonably sale and convenient for the oee required of it, and, therefore, have lo recommendations to make in regard to it.

The most horrible sight that has been Been in Spokane for a long time was Been Saturday night. A colored man by the name of George Fields was burned to death- He lay in a heap of coals and ashes when the firemen pulled him out, and he died before he was dragged off the smouldering wrotk of a small frame dwelling house. ' The building caught afire about 8 o'clock, and before the fire -men reached there the roof had fallen in and no one supposed there was a human being contained within the flaming ruins. Just as the water was turned on tbe side of tho building it fell in and tbe sight re vealed to the eyes of tbe bystanders caused a mighty cry ot horror to go np. They saw a man fall into the coals. There is considerable excitement overdue affair. Tbe police have discovered that the man had been working on the Great Northern road and came in with consid erable money from where he had been employed. They believe that he had been engaged in drinking heavily and was taken by a notorious woman of the town, robbed and the shack set on fire to conceal the crime. . Tbe police claim that tbe man must have been drugged and left in the burning building to die, and of course he must have died a horrible death. '. Eugene Guard: Lane county has an other gun : accident. J. W. Schnmpf came in from Wolf Creek, about twenty miles west of this city, last evening after tbe coroner. A man named Rowey had accidentally killed himself, lie has been living on a claim with another man named Miller. Yesterday atternoon about 5 o'clock he was returning home from a trip down the canyon after a pup. He had the pup under his arm and had a gun with bim. In getting over a fence' the gun was accidentally discharged and the bullet struck him in the neck, passing through from the front to the back and killing him instantly. He had no family. The death being plainly of an accidental nature Coroner Harris did not go to Wolf Creek, as it would have been a needless expense to tbe county. The following affair, which we glean from the Long Creek Eagle created quite a sen sation in that little town:' "Upon the dis covery that a thief had effected an entrance into the Keeney saloon building and stolen about $75 worth of groceries and clothing, a warrant was obtained for the search of ev-r residence in town, regardless of the m r.l standing, manner of living or pre vious condition of servitude of the occu pants of its many homes. This warrant, regardless of its legality, for as a matter of law, we believe it to have been illegal waa carried out by parties who at the time were not sworn officers nnder bond, and wbo had do more right by virtue of said warrant to enter the private homes of this city than tbe judge of any court' has to inflict the death penalty without trial."

TELEGSAPHIO HEWS. Text of Btennt Itcport New York, Nov. 20 The Herald's Washington correspondent telepraphs as follows: Commissioner Blount's report on the Hawaiian question will show that Micister Stevens landed the troops from the Boston long before there was any valid excuse for tbeir presence on Ha waiian soil, and that be declined to do so wbeh requested to remove them by the government, wbo informed him that tbe authorities were willing and able to pre serve order and to protect A merican in terests; that these troops were stationed across tbe street from the government buildings ia which Minister Stevens knew tbat revolutionists were about to read tbeir proclamations, and tbat tbe revolutionists committee relied upon the American troops to protect them in this act of rebellion-; that the minister recog nized tbe provisional government accord ing to a preconceived programme before tbat government had obtained possession of the departments and military power at Honolulu, and that tbe military power waa surrounded and tbe queen surren dered only through awe of tbe superior forces of the United States. Many depositions by a number of well-known gentlemen in Honolulu were taken before Commissioner Blount, indi cating that Queen Liliuokalaui surren deredher throne and her ministers re signed because of the landing of Amer ican troops at Honolulu. In tbe depos ition of Mr. 8. A. Damon, president ot the advisory council ot the provisional government, he was asked if the queen was advised by her ministers to surren der because the sympathy of the United States was with the revo utionists. He answered: 'I know it was lha queen's idea that Mr. Stevens was in sympathy with this movement. The queen was reluctant to sign the abdication, but did so on tbe ground that it would a!l come up for re view nt Washington. I told her so my self. It was the best terms ot settlement we could get. I took it to Presided Dole, and be received and indorsed it." Ravages of the Gale. London. Nov. 20 Tbe sale in the English channel was renewed with fury today.

Salem, Or., Nov. 19 G. B.' Heoebaw, living near the state reform school, came to Salem about 11 this morning and noti fied J . Batchtlor, justici, that he bad discovered a man with his throat cut, near the reform school. Bjtchelcr tele phoned (o tbe coroner at Gervias, and re ceived a reply to bold an inquest. Batch -elor and Sheriff Knight went out to tbe place aod found tbe body of a man ap parently about 40 years old, with the jugular vein nearly 'severed.

Over Niagara Falls. Buffalo, N. Not. 20 Two young men went over the Horseshoe rapids of Niagara at dusk Saturday nigbt. When tbe Michigan Central stopped at tbe new station, passengers saw two men in a boat in tbe Horseshoe rapids opposite tbe third of tbe Sister islands. They were making frantic endeavors to reach soma rocks. The bodies have not been recovered. When tbe train brought tbe report to tbe city a great rash was made across the Goat-island bridge- to get a glimpse of the men. ' The gates were closed, which caused some delay. The first of those to get in sight of tne rocus saw the men swept away from the last chanee bv the swift current of tbe river. The bodif s were quickly carried over the falls. They bad started up the river duckhunting in tbe afternoon, and per mitted their boat to float too far with the current. Tbeir identity is not well es -tablisbed, but one is belieyed to be John Supple, of Niagara Falls. Down With Slavery. Washington, Nov. 20 President Barrios, of Guatemala, baa published a decree which is in effect a proclamation emancipating tbe laboring classes from slavery. . It bas been the custom of the government, through its military agents, to take forcible possession of persons of lower classes at any and ail times, send ing them to work where they pleaBed.

There came a time in the history of my life when I suddenly realized that I can tell a brierwood from a meerschaum while it is being smoked. It was borne in upon me that by years of subtle training I had come to know a "Perfecto" from a "two-for-a-nickel." It flashed upon my sinful soul thatL, Sappho, the scorner of nicotine, was myself a connoisseur of the delicate and difficult art of dis tinguishing even from the next room the varying: characteristics of differing kinds of Turkish tobacco. I found, to my amazement, that I knew the perfumed Turkish cigarettes lose their national characteristics coming over land and sea to Boston, and that a Richmond cigarette is more grate ful (vicariously) to my nostrils. I can smell this moment the peculiar peanut nuttdness of an old clay pipe and the almond nuttiness of a new Henry Clay cigar, and I can recall to a whiff the experimental odor of a corncob Brimming with rank plug. Yet I never smoked but onco irr my life. Then I choked on burning mul lein leaves recommended for a cold! It is one of the results of the open ing of modern occupations for wom en that I have become so learned in this way. I don't know yet whether or not I am proud of my wisdom, but It is certain that I have no vicarious amusement more charmingly altru istic than smoking. A Woman in Boston Transcript. The Cse of Poetry. Nearly all the other arts have an official standing. They are endowed, perpetuated, made part of the appa ratus of life. But we are as incredu lous of poetry as of the sea serpent, and the affidavits of those who have seen the thing itself do not convince a sceptical world. Poetry's killing foe is wealth, and wealth of late has grown beyond the dreams of avancei Money, which can call into existence many of the arts, which can rear architectures, lay out gardens, give to household decoration a sumptuous beauty impossible to poor ages, which can even greatly help in the creation of music and painting money bas no potency over the proud and dis dainful muse. : But the future of poetry is im mense, because when actualities op press, when utilities task, when, "tired of all these, for restful death we cry," all we need do is to open our books and without struggle to ' par take the strife, without effort to at tain the ease, without putting off mortality to have part in the immor tality of those sole things which show a semblance of eternal life the crea tions of the divine poets.

A Strange Selection. It is an easy and very profitable business to smuggle rifles into Moroc co. A weapon may be bought in Gibraltar for $10 and sold in the in terior for five or six times that sum. Smugglers are continually running over in feluccas and beaching these arms somewhere between Cape Spar tel and Tangier, and curious are the devices by which they accomplish their transport. - One smuggler told a traveler that he ran his cargo into Tangier bay after dark and unloaded the rifles on the beach not a quarter of a mile from the custom house. . "Who assists you in unloading?'' asked the traveler. 'I generally employ the porters of the custom house," was the inno cent reply. Then, noting the surprise and amusement of his hearers, he added: "They are more skilled in unload ing than other laborers." It had evidently neither occurred to him nor to the porters that they might betray him. Youth's Com panion. Hypnotism and Dentistry. For a quarter of a century I have been hoping that the principles of hypnotism as now developed might be applied so as to bring relief to pa tients during dental operations. It is with pleasure that I am able today to report a pronounced success in that di rection a success that I believe will continue, and the methods will be so formulated that the art will be with in the reach of every intelligent op erator on the human teeth.. I found that it was the opinion of writers on hypnotism that pain would always wake a patient from the hypnotic sleep unless such patient was in a somnambulistic condition. I felt it might be quite possible to derive dis tinct benefit in the lighter stages if they could be kept continuous. I soon believed it possible, and after a diligent study of Bernheim I com menced to hypnotize, and my first effort proved a success. Thomas Fillebrown, D. M.

"When he was a young man, more than half a century ago, he was teaching school down in Cam bria county, and while there Mat thew "W. Gibson, a young. Catholic priest, became his fast friend. Mr. Fulton is not a Catholic, but when he left Cambria county Father Gil son gave him the medal that he still carries. It is a round piece of brass about the size of a half dollar and engraved on both sides, but now worn almost smooth from having been carried in Mr. Fulton's pocket so many years. On one side is the head of Mary, the mother of Christ, and the letters "O. P.M Mother, Pray For Us." On the other side is the head of Christ and "Man Salvator." The young priest who gave it to Mr. Fulton informed him that it had come from Rome and had been blessed by the pope. Du Bois Courier. Evidence by Photography. An instance of the safety and cer tainty of photography as a witness occurred at an inquest. A servant fell while cleaning a window and was killed. No one saw the accident. But her employer, who happened to be an amateur photographer, took a photograph of the window before anything was disturbed. This pho tograph showed the position of the sashes, the wash leather, dusters, etc., on the sill, and satisfied the coroner that the girl was sitting outside at the time she fell and was not leaning out from the inside. It is suggested that the time is not far distant when a photographer will be officially at tached to every division of police. Louisville Courier-Journal. The Position of a Sister.
