PLUCK AND ENERGY.
If there ever was a time when active
energy and enterprise would result in
commercial benefit to a city that era
is lha present one in the history of
The Dalles. During the recent flood,
when the interior was debarred from
communication with the outside world,
the Columbia river famished this
point a means of daily intercourse.
The advantages of our situation were
apparent to all, and these will induce
factories to locate here .if the proper
spirit is manifested by our citizens.
Notwithstanding the business stag
nation which is general all over the
country E is tern Oregon has had estab
lished during the present season wool
scouring .mills which have placed the
product in a' better shape for market,
and have also had the effect to in
crease the amount of money realized
on sales. - The Dalles should imme
diately put two or wore in operation,
" so that they would be ready for the
nnxjt clip. Bv means of the river this
city baa a cheap route to seaboard,
and in a few. years it will be an ocean
competitive point, so as to enjoy the
cheapest rates for transportation east
If the citizens remain in the same
apathetic attitude they have for years
Pendleton will surpass this point as a
wool snipping center, ana ,ine caues
win receive no oenent irom us
lent natural location, -tvcwou in iuih
regard should not be delayed any
longer, for in a little while it will be
impossible to recover lost ground.
The distillery, which was located at
Graut before the flood, is now looking
for a new location. Mr. Walker, one
of the proprietors, will visit Pendle
ton in a few days to ascertain what
that city will offer for the establish
ment. This would be a great factor
of .development for The Dalles, and
our business men. can well afford to
bid high to secure 'the prize. Delay
in this matter will also be fatal, for
within the next few days definite ar
rangements will be made,
It is very likely the shops will again
be. established here, and that there
will be about three hm.dred men con
stantly employed, and the pay roll of
. these will be a source of revenue that
will be verv stimulating to business.
If the scouring mills and the distillery
were to preceed this industry, the fu
ture of the city would be well assured.
But action must be taken now, if there
is any intention or desire to procure
these factors in this community.
Tbe incorporation of the cannery
. comsanv was a wise movement, but
enterprise should not stop here. Every
thing is opportune at the present time,
and pluck and energy should be dis-
. played to take advantage of tbe situa
tion.
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
A cotemporary ia somewhat sur
prised that the Times Mountaineer,
a Republican newspaper, should sym
pathize with organized labor, and in
timates that sympathy with laborers
is akin to anarchy. We pity the poor
deluded brother, and advise him to
' study politics for a while from the
primer up. The Republican party
was organized on the broad principle
of equal rights to all cUsses and con
ditions of citizens, and tbe poor man,
from the bonded slave of the south to
the employe in tbe faotorjea in tbe
" north, never had a firmer or truer
friend than Abraham Lincoln, the
first Republican president The
Times Mountaineer has defended
those engaged in tbe recent strike as
far as the constitution of the country
granted them rights, which should be
as sacred in any court as those of the
" capitalists or . managers of railroad
corporations. w nen violence waa
enacted in Chicago or elsewhere this
paper fully endorsed tbe use of tbe
military to restore law and order; but
- considered it advisable that the state
should have exhausted its powers be
fore the general government should be
called upon. And this was not be
cause of any predilection of the edi
tor towards the doctrine of state's
rights which he never endorsed; but,
for the reason that he believes self-
government iu a free country should
begin with the municipality, and each
political division should regulate its
own local affairs as nearly as possible.
This is not anarchy or treason; but
simply the true significance of free in
stitutions. -
" : TOO MANY POWERS. ,
No worse policy can be imagined
.than the commingling of the legisla
tive with the executive power, says
tbe Salem Statesman. " To give to a
legislature the appointing power in any
case is bed enough, but to authorize it
to druaie offices or places of any kind
is a complete surrender to . the one
branch of government of the high
est powers of another branch. Worse
still, it invites the legislature to create
useless places for the mere purpose of
tiling them. In other words, ft is an
open door to all manner of corruption
Indeed, it ia plainly unconstitutional,
because that supreme law, the consti-
tution, expressly divides the power, of
goverooieni Between me toree great
branches, legislative, executive and
judicial, and in no case contemplates
any confusion in their r xercise, we
believe, save in the one case of im-
peachments triable by the legislature,
We all know there is too much time
wasted over foolish or vicious or need- j
less bills during our legislative sessions
and too little time given to important
and needed bills. The legislature bas
' quite enough to do ia attending to its
own business. Ibere are too many
lobbyists, each having an axe to grind,
in securing bills or clauses in bilk.
Grant to tbe legislature the appointing
power and more and more lobbyists
will flock like obscene birds to a filthy
feast. We want none of it,' and trust
the governor will veto every such j
enactment, if for no other reason, be
cause of its at least doubtful constitu
tionality. DESIRES CONSIDERATION.
The success of the state portage
roa i around the Cascades makes it
evident that the same improvement
could be inaugurated around the ob
structions between this city and Celilo,
and the nest Cregon legislature should
pass an appropriation for that pur
pose. Times-Mountaineer. Then
the state should clean out and dredge
the Willamette river, the artery of
commerce for this great and populous
valley. She has spent a sum up to
wards $100,000 for this Eastern Ore
gon artery, and not one cent yet upon
the Willamette river. The fact is,
ho ever, that the general government
should pay for all these improvements.
The state should not be required to
bear their expense. Salem Statesman.
Our cotemporary must not forget that
at every session ot tne legislature
there are large and liberal appropria
tions for Western Oregon in the sup-
port of the public institutions, while I gp payments, but not gold in dis
the country east of the Cascades re- j;iDOtion from silver. All our fiscal
ceives nothing in this line. The $G0,
000 for the portage road at the tas-
cades was the only time in the his -
tory of Oregon that a public improve
ment in Eastern Oregon received a
dollar from the state treasury. Aside

for the benefit ot Western uregon.
PURE PROTECTION.
Tbe Republican senators will vote
solidly for free sugar. This is consist
ent with tbe McKinley law, provided
there is a bounty attachment. But it
is not so much to maintain their con
sistency as it is to put the Democrats
in a hole that the Republicans are
now clamorous for free sugar. If the
Republicans were now in a majority.
and bad the responsibility of raising
revenues they might see it in another
light Sugar ia a mighty good reve
nue raiser, and a stiff dot, on sugar
will fill up a treasury when other
things fail But the Republicans are
not responsible for raising the reve
nues, and this is not their funeral,
anyway. Portland Telegram The
Republican party has never advocated
I m tariff on any article that could not
I be raised in the conn try, and not nearly
I enough sugar is manufactured in tbe
country for local consumption. For
this reason the McKinley bill provided
a bounty on tbe growth of beets and
their manufacture into sugar, thus at
tempting to build up an industry
without imposing a" tax on the con
sumer. The toasis principle of protec
tion is the development of the re
sources of a country by building up
lccal industries; but in every instance
where' this cannot be done it does not
believe in imposing atax for the ben-
J 6t of a few, and which would oper-
t s a burden upon the many.
TOO ORTHODOX.
An orthodox cotemporary attempts
to prove a belief in God and a future
state of existence necessary to good
citizenship, and classes Debs, Sover
eign, Most and others as infidels. It
ill not do to carry this ideaof deistical I
and theistical patriotism toe far, for
there has not been a despot in Europe,
from William tbe Conqueror to Charles
II., from Ivan the terrible of Russia
to Nicholas, and the Louises of France,
but wbo has held close with his tyran-
nical sceptre a copy of the canonical
scriptures. In tbe name of God and
Holy Church men havejeen crucified,
buried while yet living, burned to tbe
stake, starved to death in dungeons,
torn limb from limb,' drowned., in
boiling oil, and 'made to Buffer the
most excruciating torments. - Religion
has ' been the solid foundation upon
which tyranny has rested for more
than two thousand years, and in every
instance reformers, from Socrates to
Christy and from Luther to Cromwell,
have torn down the established relig
ious superstitions of the subservient
people. Oppression - and persecution
have always lieen upheld by the
church, while freedom and advance
ment have been the doctrine of those
opposed to creed and dogma. It ia a
notable fact that in every age of tbe
world the hatred of the Christian has
been more diabolical than tbe revenge
of the savage.
Tbe following from the Salem
Statesman . is bj-imful of good sense:
'Oregon's legislature already elects too
many commissioners that should be
chosen by direct vote of the people.
All will remember what a' log-roller
the last session was. More time was
devoted to the election of a railroad
commission than was given to any
other single measure and there is no
doubt but this contention influenced
many votes oo several bills. Instead
of increasing the powers and log-roll-
ing capacity of the Oregon legislature,
let us this winter place the power once
more ,n the hands of the people, wh.re
,t rightfully belongs. While we are
on the subject it may be well to re-
mArk that United States senators also
should be elected by direct vote of the I
people."
The United States have no interest
whatever in the war now raging be-
tween China and Japan. Let diplo
ncy confined to European minis
ters, who watch with eager eyes every
movement made on the political chess
board.
But there should be war ships I
in the vicinity of the belligerents so
that American citizens should receive
the -aiue protection from their flag
that is accorded the subjeets of the
monarchies of the old world.
FINANCIAL CREDIT.
The leading financial journal of
London, and, for that matter, of the
world, the Statist, has an important
article in its issue of Saturday on this
country, from the standpoint of. the
British investor. It maintains that
the withdrawal or withholdirg of cap
ital from tbe'UniLed States is no lon
ger necessary to meet the demands of
the domestic or Australiau situation,
but that there is uo little distrust of
our currency policy and the unsatis
factory state of the tariff, especially
the former
It appears from the detailed discus
sion of the subject that a specific cause
of apprehension is the shrinkage in our
gold reserves, leading to the apprehen
sion that gold will go to a premium.
The tariff question figures in this cal
culation only so far as it bears upon
the unfavorable balance of trade, which
is rendering gold exportation inevitable.
In speaking of this the Chicago In-
ttr Ocean, which leans towards bi
metallism, says: "The treasury cf the
United States is bound by the terms
of national legislation to maintain
j jaW8 88SUnje that the two metals will
I maintained at a parity and be in-
1 rerconvemble. They also expressly
vest in the government authority to
use either coin in the redemption of
paper money. - As a matter of fact,

that option in favor of the payee, re

There iaolentv of cold in the
country. It is being mined faster
than it is being exported. Our banks
have more than they can use, except
as it is held for reserves. They take
it over the counter with reluctance.
They know very well that they will
sooner or later suffer some loss on
their gold unless there should be a
premium on it 'The counter gold is
more or less abraded, and when it
comes to be tested by the treasury de
partment it will be "weighed in the
balance and found wanting." In tbe
ordinary uses of exchange gold ia al
most as little used now as it was dur
ing the period of specie suspension.
If the administration would only
rise to the requirements of the situa
tion it' would allay apprehension. It
will be remembered that during tbe
last winter of the Harrison adminis
tration there was some talk of issuing
government bonds to replenish the
gold supply, and that tbe President let
it be distinctly understood that no
bonds for that purpose would be issued
unless actually needed, but that he
should do whatever was necessary to
meet all demands for gold. That put
at rest all agitation on this subject
during the remainder of bis term. Pres
ident Cleveland could and should do
tbe same, but he is not likely to.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The bouse says senators ought to be
elected by the people; the senate says
nothing.
It is curious that every time a pro
fessional office-seeker is turned down
he should feel specially called upon to
lead a new party of reformers.
The man who makes a practice of
changing his political principles may
be honest, but he cannot blame people
for 4eing a little distrustful of him.

' If, as the adage says, "an idle brain

The Mongolians have had two or
three fights; but their blood is not
quite at the proper heat for bloody
warfare. It will be in a short time,
and then Chinese and Japanese will
be slaughtered in quantities that
would suit any civilized country.
Same Republican papers are still
talking of tbe good times that pre
vailed in tbe country before the Demo
cratic change in 1892. This should be
stopped, as it is unpleasant and disa
greeable to Democracy, and can be
proved by facts cognizant to the peb-
pie.
The sugar investigating committee
of the United States started in to find
out nothing and succeeded and is pat
ting itself on the back. It has a farce
from its opening session until the close.
The servants who sent senatorial dis
patches and newspaper reporters were
the only criminals found.
The majority in congress want a
short campaign. They are in no hurry
to explain conditions to the people.
It may also be said that the people
know and require no explanation. The
onslaught upon the wage-earners of
-"es rllTd-trrfe-
merce by unwise attempted legislation
have ben too marked to deceive any
intelligent observer of passing events.
The fall elections are rapidly ap-
proacbtng, and the manner in which
the Democrats bave manipulated the
tariff bill do not enhance their chances
for success. ; The November gales will
undoubtedly be disastrous to the party
of tariff reform, and it will be forced
to adopt another issue before the cam-
paign of 1896. Uregon sooke in J one,
and the fall elections will only be con
tinuations of Republican victories.
Some of the worst enemies the
workingmen have in this country are
those who uphold the mistakes made
and the crimes committed, during tbe
recent Pullman strike, with the hopes j
of building up notoriety and political
influence by so doing. The true friend
of the workingman upeaks for his in
terests even if it is against the action
the workmen may be taking at the
time. Strikes, like the last one, have
invariably injured the workingman
more than anybody else in the long
run ,and should be discountenanced on
that ground.
It is very evident that organized
labor will make its next contest at the
ballot box.and in this it will undoubt
edly be successful Wage-earners will
outnumber railway managers, and
they can make the political complexion
of state legislatures what they desire.
This will be the next arena where the
contest between labor and capital will
strive for supremacy, and the result
cannot be long in doubt If capital
is beaten in elections it will try the
power of money on legislators, and
this does not augur well for purity in
politics.
The senate conferrees have not ar
rived at any agreement regarding the
Wilson bill, and it is yet uncertain
whether an agreement will he reached
0ont,re88 mj coatinne ln session for
several weeks yet, if the tariff-tinkers
do not finish their work. It must be
a great hardship on tbe members to
be confined to Washington when the
woods of Maine are full of game, and
there ia good fishing in the bays along
the Atlantio roast. The president, in
his delicate state, must be very weary
of protracted legislation when the
hunt is so exhilarating to him. What
great sacrifices are made for the good
of one's country.
The governments of Europe are
taking steps to eradicate anarchy, and
no doubt very repressive measures will
be passed. This political cncer may
be kept in a quiet state for a time;
but when the system is permeated by
the virus' it is difficult to replace tbe
circulation with healthful flood. Long
centuries of oppression and outrages
have rendered men vicious and fiend-
isb, and there will be no permanent
remedy nntil the riebts of all classes
brutes, and they become brutes: treat
them like men and they are manly.
We have no apology for anarchy; but
it wi'.l exist while the present unequal
conditions remain, especially in mon
archical countries.
Gold in Bolivia ia worth 249 cents,
and this is a country from which ail
verttes should draw a lesson. Tbe
laborer works for less per diem than
in any country in South America, and
bis hard earned coin will purchase less
of the comforts or luxuries of life
Thus, while the silver dollar may ap
pear larger, and the toiler may receive
more or them tor a days laoor than
in any other country on tbe western
hemisphere, they will purchase less
than any where else. If Bolivia had
tbedouble standard, a dollar there
would be a dollar in Canada or tbe
United States, and its . purchasing
power would be as great as it is any
where. It is well for laborers to con
sider that the money received must be
gauged by what it will buy in the
market. A South American dollar is
not worth nearly as much as one from
the United states, which bas one
hundred cents behind it and may be
redeemed in coin if desired. 1 1 is not
the "mount of money one possesses
that makes him wealthy, but the num
ber of comforts that tbe coin will buy
in the market. .

tion provides that no alien anarchist

shall not be so construed as to include
political refugees. Tbe bill provides for
hearings in cases of reported anarchists,
and la case tbe charges be proved, tbe
secretary is authorized to send the ac
cused beck to tbe country from whence
he came. Tbe bill also provides for tbe
exportation of any unnaturalized foreign
born person, who, unon a trial' in any
court, shall appear to tbe judge of tbe
court to be an anarchist. It also provides
a system of inspection of other emigrauts
by authorizes tbe secretary of the treas
ury to appoint at such ports as are
deemed necessary an immigrant inspector
whose duly it sbsll be to inspect passen
gers embarking for tbe United States, to
erase from tbe passenger manifesto the

Jteeplsc the Caassel.
Washington, Aug. 7 There is some
uncertainty manifested in congressional
circles to know the exact purpose of the
visit of Messrs. Parker, Cummiogs and
Wideman, the royalist envovs from Ha
wall. While tbey talked witb varlnns
members of congress, tbey have not con
filled to anyone a definite impression of
tbe ends which tbey hope to accomplish
by tbeir mission. Iu a general way tbey
bave reviewed tbe various wrongs attend
ing the overthrow of the monarchy from
their standpoint, and bave complained of
tbe iotetference of Mr. Stevens, who, they
say, brought about the downfall Tbey
represent that tbe present government
cannot be considered a republic, and are
oot satisfied with tbe attitude ot Willis,
wbo is said to be as friendly to the Amer
ican element as was his predecessor
But tbey do not ask tbe Americana to do
anything in behalf of the deproed queen,
nor do they state definately why tbey are
here. Tbe two objects suggested by
members of enngsess to have brought tbe
delegation are to urge the administration
to carry out its abandoned attempt to re
store tbe queen, or make arrangemeats
for pecuniary redress for ber. Tbe com
missieners bave expressly disclaimed
either of these purposes, and their objects
are veiled in mystery.

trance into tbe house was forced and tbe
sberifis were confronted by tbe older and
younger Scbnrman and their wives, all

mined effort was made by tbe bberifis to
disarm tbeir opponents and it was oot
uetll A. A. Colley bad been dangerously
wounded that they resorted to the use of
firearms. Three shots were fired and
vouoff Scburman fell mortally wounded.
Tba miners ia the neighborhood rushed
to tbe scene ot tbe disturbance. Tbe

the deputy sheriffs, wbo were surrounded
by an angry mob, many armed. The
militiamen used tbeir bayonets to dis
perse tbe mob. The anarchistic element
are swearing vengeance against tbe dep
uties.

oeing vigorously pushed. In response
o tbe offer of the Christian Berald, oi

Song Soo, yesterday telegraphed to tba'
paper the following from Washington:
"Your noble and generous contribution

and I Shall notify my government of the
relief tbat may be expected from this
country. It fills my heart with pain and
regret tbat my starving countrymen and
prostrate government cannot find means
to transport tbe contribution you bave
so. generously started. In a day or two
I bope I shall be able to advise you
whether the shipping port shall be New
York or San Francisco. Tbe latter port
would he better."
Dr. Louis Klopsch, of tbe Christian
Herald, bas forwarded the following dis
patch to secretary Gresbam, inviting the
assistance oi toe government in forward'
ing th9 proposed cargo:
"Tbe pathetic appeal made by the C -rean
minister in behalf of bis starving
people provokes widespread svmuatbv.
If means ot transportation can be secured,
a large cargo of grain for tbe relief of
these starving multitudes can be pro
vided. Will tbe Uoited States govern
ment undertake tbe transport oration from
either New York or San Francisco."
It is further purposed to secure tbe co
operation of tbe various boards of trade
and exchanges throughout tbe country
and especially at Sao Francisco and Chi
cago. The cargo, when com pie' ed. will
probabiy clear from tbe former port, and
it is believed that a guarantee ol immu
nity from seizure, either by China
Japan, will be granted.
