THE CONSCIENCE OF MANEIXD
There was a statement in the able
discourse of Bithop Joyce in the
Methodist church yesterday which
will be endorsed by Trinitarians and
Unitarians, OathoHca and Protestants
the world over, and that was, Christ
in the conscience of humanity for time
and eternity. It wakes little differ
ence whether one believes in the dog-
ruas of religion the incarnation, the
immaculate conception, the trinity, or
any of the numerous articles of the
Nicene creed the life and teachings
of Jesus Christ furnish an . exemplifi
cation of the highest morality, the
purest and most nnseliHh motives, and
- the noblest, seif-ftcribces of any in
the history of the world. Socrates,
Buddha, Gonfuciu3, Zoroaster ..' and
ethers left the world better than they
found it; but the one character in
whom centers all excellence and all
purity was that of the humble Naz
(trene, who during his daily coraruing-
' ling with the most bigoted and selfish
.of all people displayed qualities that
completely isolated him from their
prejudices. In this regard, as an ex
emplar of all virtues, he is, ia the
comprehensive meaning of the word,
matters even the bread-winners should
receive less pay. But his salary as
president, or those of the superintend
ents and foremen were not to be re
ducrd, because "aiea of their calibre
were not easily roplaced." This, per
haps, is good business sense, and is
generally followed in successful enter
prises. But, in popular governments,
where there are no restrictions on cit
izenship and no discriminations before
the law there should be a conscience
even in business transactions, ' and
especially should this be true of a
company like the Pullman, that has
made a colossal fortune from the
skilled work of its employes. An
try, whether founded on heriditary
aristocracy is despicable in any coun
title or composed of the governing
classes, and when its chief support is
accumulated wealth by unfair means
it partakes of the elements of mean
penoriousness. There may have been a
time when the Pullman company stood
fair before the American people; but
that time has passed, and its reputa
tion for fairness will be shady here
after.

THE BOAT RAILWAY .
Senator Dolph has labored for years
. . :
ia the senate ior an appropnanuu
for a boat-railway around the obatruc
tions to navigation in the Columbia
river from this city to Celilo, and the
bill which passeJ the upper house has
been defeated in the lower one on two
different occasions. In this he has been
ably assisted by his colleague, Mi
Mitchell, who has been indefat.iguable
in bis efforts in behalf of bis constitu
ents. At the recent session an item
of $100,000 was inserted in the River
and Harbor bill for this improvement,
and this may be considered tbe begin
ning of a grand undertaking. With
the great river opened to navigation it
will be second to none on the continent
except tbe Mississippi, and is superior
to that stream in many respects. This
will relieve producers from the grasp
of the railroad monopoly, and will en
courage settlement in the Inland Em
pire. The last few years have demon
strated that the soil of the north
west is equal to any portion of the
country for the growth of grain, vege
tables and fruit, and with an available
market and cheap means of transpor
tation will possess the means of sup
porting a much larger population than
it has at present. It may be many
years be re tbe work is completed;
but after a begioing is made, and its
importance understood, the boat rail
way will receive its propotion of ap
propriations until finished. To the
people residing in the vicinity of The
Dalles the work at tbe Cascades is of
the greatest importance, and an open
river above will be of little benefit.
The locks will be completed in two or
three years, and then there will he an
open highway to the sea from this
point. But to the Inland Empire the
Columbia river is tbe great natural
channel of commerce, and it should
flaw to the sea unvexed by a single
obstruction.

more of tbe European powers taking

at the head of the govern tne ts across
the ocean are too wary and diplomatic
to be drawn into the controversy when
the result will be very disastrous with
out any great object to be accomplished.

It is not known yet what action will

tbe terms of a contract by changing

TUB IDOL SHATTERED.
Grover Cleveland was at one time
considered a. brave, fearless political
leader, ana was almost elevated to tne
position of an idol with tbe Democ
racv; buf this time has passed. There
was a grand opportunity for the presi
dent to have shown his 'independence
during this session of congress, but be
baa proved recreant to the trust re
: posed in hint,-and frankly admits that
be is subject to the control of the sen
atorial plutocrats and the sugar trust.
When be wrote bis first letter, in
which he severely censured the senate
. for their dereliction of duty in cover
ing the Wilson bill with a Republican
protection mantle the country be
lieved the Democratic party would be
true to ita pledges to the country and
to the provisions of tbe Chicago plat
form. But Gorman and Brice were
equal to tbe emergency, and not only
conquered the house, but the execu
tive has acknowledged defeat.
Thft hill nil Amfnr1prl haa nnsaprl hnlh

hands of the president sufficiently long
for it to become a law ssit boot bis
.signature, and is a la. In explana
tion of his course, Mr. Cleveland has
written a letter to Representative
Gituhings, of Mississippi, and in this
he destroys every claim he ever bad
to greatness or political leadership,
lie acknowledges that "the livery, of
. the Democratic tariff reform has been
stolen and worn . in ibe interests
of Republican protection," and yet
expresses bis determination "to al
" low the bill to become a law with
out his signature.'" No stronger evi
dence of the utter incapacity of Mr
Cleveland to be tbe leader in bis party,
and bis complete subserviency to the
traitorous elements in the organiza
tion could be produced.' If be is the
apostle of tariff reform why should he
give up the fight at the first onset,
and timidly give way to men whom he
considers have "blasted the councils
of the brave in the hour of their might!'
This mar be considered by some - a

uncertainty? There are indications
that there will be a popular revolt
against the new tariff law, bat it will
not be ia tbe direction that tbs presi
dent anticipates. It will be against
tbe Gorman law, hut it will not be in
the direction of the Wilson bill
This time the sweep of the pendulum
will be in the direction of McKinley
isoi and away from the so-called 'van

There are as many tariff reformers in
ibis country today as there were in
1892, possibly more, but the time will
never come when tbe Democratic
party will ever again be entrusted
with tbe work of tariff reform. The
Democratic party bas lost its last op
portunity to score a reform record."
The Telegram ia correct when it
says that there are indications of a
'popular revolt against the new tar
iff," and that the sweep of the pendu
lum' will be "in the direction of Mc
Kinleyiam" and away from Demo
cratic tariff reform. It was a wild
"crazd" of the people of the country
that placed the Democratic party in
power in both houses of congress and
elected Mr. Cleveland president ia

There will be 5000 copies of the

tbe wage schedule of 1892, under tbe
McKinley law, and that of 1894,
under tbe Democratic tariff-reform
regime.

Strike Iovesticatt jh
Chicago, Aug. 28 -Iu tbe investiga
tion of tbe Pullman strike by tbe national
com mission today, Cbauncey IToey, of
tbe Chicago & Alton road, testified tbe

strike was $280,300. The Chicago &
Eastern Illinois reported $31,600. Toe
Chicago, Burlington & Qaincy 150,
000 in tbe destruction of its property
witb otber losses not tabulated.
Chares E. Webb, chief clerk of tbe
bank at Pullman, testified that Jennie
Curtis, who claimed she was compelled to
pay back rent, bad paid voluntrrily.
When Vice-President Wickes took tbe
stand, he said the cost to the company of
building cars under contract at tbe time
of tbe strike was about $1,400,000. The
labor wonld cost about $240,000. Tbe
contracts were taken on lhe basis of a re
duction of 20 per cent. Tbn under tbe
old prices tbe labor would bave cost
about $330,000, Wickes admitted that
on this basis the company had reduced

it much better than to thiow men entirely

Toronto, Aug. 29 -The new tariff law
at passed by the recent eongress, causes
considerable discussion bere among busi
oess men, and it ia generally believed it
will bave an important bearing in Cana
dian interests. Tbe most important
feature of the measure, so far ax Caoada
is concerned, is tbe placing of sawed and
dressed lumber and all kindred materials
on tbe free list. It is thought among
lumbermen that tbe abolition of dutj
will mean in Ibe course of tbe next few
ears an export trade upwards of $20,-
000,000 with the Vuited States. Fee
wool will also result in a considerable
