CP - The Times-Monntaineei SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 17. 1SSM ; "FOTHELEtOM MARKETS." If there-is anything dearer to thf heart of a free trader than all else ii : - y ia the foreign market, says an eaHteru exchange. - For that ha the honu ' market been sacrificed, lhese'pres - ent hard times are a part of the prici to be paid for the privilege of sending oar surplus products to other coun- ' tries to be consumed. . In his liondon banquet speecb Mr. '7 Wilson laid special emphasis upon thit- aspect of the tariff poliov of the Dem ocratic ' J party. ' - Ah, gentlemen, b ' said in effect, you flatter yourselvet that "the new American tariff hat- opened to you the markets cf th United States, and soil has, but 1 warn you that it will also open to my i r countrymen the markets of the world, and that your gain will be small as compared with ours, and it our gun 1 your I038 please remember in your day . "? of commercial eclipse that 1 told yon- so. At that very lime markets in the new -world which the McKinley law, with its .reciprocity, had opened to our i people wire being closed, and every banqueter, except, perhaps, Mr. Wil ..' . son, must have - known it perfectly well. There is no record or indication that any of the gentlemen took that view of the case. They doubtlefs - guessed whether Professor Wilson was . such a blind follower of theory, re gardless of fact, as to really believe v . what he was saying. Or was he talk ins for the hustings at home? Biit to - the loss of ' the flourishing trade in " farm products and agricultural imple ments which was growing up with the countries sonth. of us must now be - added that far more serious matter, the shutting of the gates of Germany against American meat products, beef . especially This is bound to percep- tibly lessen the value of the live stock ' - on all our farms and ranches. What, pray, is to make up to our stock raisers for this loss? They can- .. not .turn to sheep raising, for free wool has ruined that business. The abro- Ration of the reciprocity treaties with the countries south of us has lessened the demand for our flour. Turn where we will, no compensation can be found in all the markets of the world for - the curtailment under Democratic rule of the market for American prod ucta It is only fair, however, to Mr. Wil . Bon and the free traders generally, to t, admit that the new tariff of congress, and the. construction put upon the ' sugar schedule by the treasury depart ment do not deserve all the blame for this loss of the German meat market, A part of the responsibility rests upon the broad shoulders and narrow fore head of J. Sterling Morton, secretary of Agriculture. Secretary - Morton is the first cabinet officer, so far as we ' recall, to go a junketing - in foreign landa while at the head of a portfolio, but the Republicans are glad he went, and sincerely hopes he will stay long enough to- learn something of the sus- ' pioion and jealousy of American meats entertained by foreign consumers. ' On his Nebraska farm he had con ceived the idea that his predecessor, Secretary.;; Rusk, was squandering money in his systematio inspection of meat. Like Judas; he said; "Why all this waste?" He cut it down to a mere " skeleton of its former self, and then : bid; toe people mark bis economy. However it was in this country, the German authorities took special Bote . of it, and eagerly seized upon the first semblance of an excuse for putting up the bars which had been taken down during the last administration, through the combined efforts of congress, - the president, and Secretaries Blaine and RusM ,77 ; ' 7 :'; -' . -" i i -f. It is' no exaggeration to say that no law" ever' passed by congress did so - much to extend and increase the for ' eigu commerce of the United States as : the McKinley law. Our exports to Germany alone increased $24,000,000 the first year. . The free list was en larged and our foreign trade in many lands and commodities stimulated. It looks now as if the Wilson law would j do more to restrict' our exports ' thnn 'any other law ever passed by congress. It certainly restricted rather than en larged the free list,' and all the way -frooi Germany to Brazil has tended to deprive our people of the foreign market!. in that city recently from Oregon.

Governor Pennoyer has sometimes a little fan all to himself. There are no calamities without some compensations. The gov ernor was badly beaten last June, and two of the men, who helped to do it were C. W. rulton and Thomas H. Tongue. They then denounced him as a free silver crauk. The whirligig of time bap, however, brought its revenge. C W. Futon and Thomas H. Tongue are now advocates of the free silver cause.

Mr. Hermann intended remiin ing longer, but his visit was cut short by the news from Washington a-i to the small pox epidemic now there, and as his family are there he felt uneasy as to their safety. Governor McConnell in his Lewiiton speech asi-erted. that neither gold nor silver ai the measure of values but human labor This is the true economic principle, and it follows, that when values fall, labor suffers. Cheaper wages means cheaper values on all property." The laboring men as well as the capitalists suffer from the dec'.ioe in wages and in values. T. A.

An intere.-ting statement is that made by the Coquil e creamery lor the month ot September. It shows that the amount of butter tat in the milk delivered there is constantly increasing apd now reaches 4.43 per cent, while the price paid for butler fat has increased to an average of 22J cents per pound, thus bringing in the dai.-ymen $1 per 100 pounds of milk, which is a money-making price.

Corvallis Times: Additional particulars of the accidental shooting of Arthur Hw lcv are thus related hy the Times Monroe correspondent: Mr. Hawley was dressed in a gray suit of clothes and was drinking at a f-priog. Hoover mistook him for a deer and tired, .The ball struck Hawley in the back, a little to the left of the spinal column, and passed oot of the left side. The injury is only a severe flesh wound and will, not prove fatal. Mr. and Mrs. Jesaee Hawley, of Eugene, are at the bedside of their son. Albany Democrat: Mr. Hiram Worrell tfied awhile before 9 oclock yesterday morning from the effects of the accident heretofore uarraled, at bis home in the Third Ward, at the age of 58 years. He leaves a wile, two sons and tour daugh ter. The deceased was a highly respected member of the ft. A . It and the M. E. church, having united with the latter on Thursday evening after the accident which caused his death. Mr. Worrell came from Nebraska to Albany s few years ago. He was a worthy citizen, and an exemplary husband and father. ' Very many of the older residents of The Dulles will recollect Prof. Thos. Condon and his estimable family. He was pastor of the Congregational church in this city for many years, and the citizens of The Dalles take an interest in him and his family., in this line the following will be interesting: The -executive oommittee of the board of regents of the State university have employed Mrs. Nellie Condon-McCor-nack as instructor in biology, physiology and botany and haye assigned her apart ments in Daady hall. Mrs. MuCornack is one of the members of the first class to graduate from the ui.iyeraity of Oregon, and is one of the three .members of that class now living , -.The practice of graduating orations is becoming obsolete, and we are informed that the sta'e university at Eugene has taken a creditable movement in this direction. The faculty, at a regular meeting held last Wednesday afternoon, passed a general order abolishing the old time rule that each student who grad uated must deliver a graduating oration, and made it elective on the part of stu dents whether they deliver final orations. Only students who maintain a general standing ol Sr per cent for the period cf four years are now eligible to graduate. and they can elect to make a final oration or not, as they may choose.

Wash., is still in darkness, the city counoil refusing to give the light company what they want, and tne light company refusing to give the citizens what they want. The board of trade is seriously thinking of putting in kerosene lamps or lanterns on the street. The Dallea always lead, and we are al ways pleased to note the commanding posi tions taken y onr boys and girls. Here is an item in this direction trom Eugene: The Eutaxian Literary Society, composed exclusively of lady students of the state university, haa been doing soma interesting work during the past month. They have Death of Mr P. Craie Mrs. P. Craig, who has been sick at her residence in this city for the past seven weeks, died this mornine about 6:30 o'clock. She was aged about 75 years, and haa been a resident of The Dalles since 1S52. For many years Mrs. Craig has been feeble, and was riually coufiued to her bed, with ap parently nothing ailing her except weakness from old age. -The lamp of life had burned low, and when death, came it was simply a putting out the light from the natural ex haustion of the forces that sustained life. Mrs. Craig was a very estimable lady, and, during her long residence in Thn Dalles was known to eveiy one for her many charitable acta. Wherever there was suffering or sickness, and when possible to render aid, Mrs. Craig was always among the first to proffer assistance. She leaves one daughter. Miss Katie Craig, and three sons, Hon. R. Monroe, of Lewistoo, Idaho, and Charles and Frauk CJraig of this city. After the above was written we ascer tained the following data: Mi-ts Ann Eliza beth Bulger was born in St. John New Foundland, Feb.-6, 1S20, and was tirst mar ried to Mr. James Monroe, who was killed in 1839, in the Beoimole ' Indian war in Florida. Sue was afterwards married to Mr. Polhemus Craig, and arrived at The -Dallea in September, 1852. Her husband was hospital steward in the. Mexican war, and Mrs. Craig served aa matron of the hos pital in the Florida and Mexican wars. Mr. Craig died in this city 17 years ago, on the same day of the month as his .widow's de oease took place. Mrs. Craig war the mother of seven boys aad one girl R. . Monroe, William Edward, Joseph, Henry, George Augustin, Charles, Katie Alice and Frank Polhemus Craig, and four of these are still living. A Good Showing;. ' In a yit.it to the government work at the Locks this week we were agreeably sur prised to see tha progress being made by the contractors. Balow the bulkhead the excavation ia nearly finished, and the ma sonry for two of the gate i is completed. The iron for one of the gates is on the ground, and this will be placed in position soon. There are now forty derricks in oper ation, on the different paits of the works, and a large number of steam drills. The Day brother have placed an electric plant in operation, and work ia prosecuted with the same vigor night aud day. There are 600 men' at work now, and there is no ce, sat ion day or night or Sun days. Exoavatioo. has been carried on above the bulkhead for the past few days, and masons begun laying stone this morn ing. This is the oaual proper, and the en trance will be much wider than any other portion, to admit pf several boats, if neces sary, waitii.g for the passage through thi locks. To-day workmen began oonstiuct- icg a doable track into the pit, and these engines will remove about 200 boxes of dirt every day. About February 1st the gates will be hung, and it is confidently expeoted that boats may pass through in a year. After the next high water the upper bulkhead will be removed, and water will run through the canal. Twelve days' more work will complete the work for the upper gate, and then the force of workmen will turn their attention no the second l5te. Work is- being prosecuted with great vigor, and although only $500,000 have been expended by the Day Bros., they haye made an excellent showing. 'When com pleted th6 canal at the Cascades will be second to the Soo canal, and it must be recollect ;d that snoh a stupendous under taking cannot be accomplished hastily. The Attempt Failed We were informed to-day that Mr. Mc Neil, ot the O. R. Sc. N. Co., arrived in the city last Wednesday to close the bargain in the purchase of the boats of the D. P. & A. N. Co., but those stockholder desirous of selling out to the company, could not make the sale because they could net turn over a majority ot the shares of stock. A promt nent citizen, who owns considerable stock, was unwilling to join with the othera in this subtle transaction, because, as our in formant states, he did not consider it right to place owners of a smaller number of shsres in the hands of the railroid com pany, without their knowledge or consent. We shall ascertain the bottom facts, if pos sible, in this attempted transaction with the O. R. & N. Co., and publssh them. . This transportation company was formed by the people for the purpose of regulating freight rates between The Dalles and Portland, and, if the facts are aa reported, it is a flagrant breach of faith on the part of men who should have the best interest of this region in their keeping, and which merits the lasting condemnation of the community. Story of a Chicago Race Track Credited bj Our Kngliftli Cousins. It seems to be an easy matter to hoax our English cousins, for they accepted in good faith this yarn about a race alleged to have been run at Chicago: There had been a false start, ow ing to a mistake made by the man with the advance flag, and in spite of - the growlings of those who had backed a black horse that was es teemed a "good thing, "and, unlike so many good things of which we have had constant experience, won in a canter by any number of lengths, the horses returned to the post. The starter, much put out of course at the catastrophe, took his place and prepared for business. "While he was standing there, the story goes on to relate, "a black boy, who was so handicapped by lack of height that it was impossible for him to see the race, spied a place of vantage between the widespread legs of the starter. He crept up and soon was snugly fixed in his place. The starter happened to glance down and saw the black face peering into space. " 'Begone, you imp!' he cried, and at the same time hit at the woolly pate with his flagstick. The advance flagman was keen and watchful. He did not see the negro, but he was conscious that the starter's flag had dipped. Down went his own again, and once more the field 6wept away. Once more all was confusion, and . once a vain the black horse walked home first. "Things were getting serious now. Hands stealthily sought hip pockets, and when they emerged they had well loaded six shooters firmly grasped within them. It did not make any difference to the crowd whether the starter's flag had fallen or not. Ihe black horse .had won the race twice, and if there was to be any more running they would at tend to the starting themselves. In this emergency the starters were sent to the paddock for a 20 minutes' rest, arid while they were there the race was declared off.'- New York Herald. . Workers Who Ask No Pay. It would be interesting if we could get the statistics of voluntary and unpaid work. I once investigated the statistics of a single parish, and that a very poor one. I found over 100 persons who gave their work for nothing to the parish. In fact, there are thousands and tens of thousands on whom the churches can bow reckon for voluntary work. This un paid worker is the nineteenth century Franciscan. He (or she) attempts, without vows, what the predecessor of the thirteenth century attempted with the help of vowsviz, organ ized personal service among the hum blest. . He works upon the lowest and most unpromising material that the world can show. They are lads' far below the reach of polytechcica. He attracts them somehow by personal magnetism, by force of character, by skill in the things that all lads ad mire. He dominates them. He is per haps a young curate of no great iu tellectual grasp, but he knows what ho has to do, and he succeeds, or he is a layman who works in an office all day. We go back to the grand discovery of Francis say rather the interpretation of. Francis that the great sluggish apathetic mass in which are born creatures of hideous mien and malign brain can only be moved by personal service. Walter Be8ant They Coat the English Metropolis Ten Mil lions Tear For Their Services. It costs close upon $10,000,000 a year to police London. There are in the metropolitan police force 15,040 men of all ranks, and their pay, cloth ing and equipment alone cost the taxpayers of the big city 1,343,959 a year. Then there is the pay of the commissioners, doctors, clerical staff and workmen generally, the mainte nance of stations and offices and the thousand and one miscellaneous items of cost in the operation of the de partment, which brings the total cost of the machinery for guarding the peace of the British metropolis a few pounds short of 2,000,000 a year. Ihere are 12,58o ordinary police men on the force. They are called "constables," there being only one grade below that of sergeant. The pay of a constable varies between 24 shillings a week, the pay of a new re cruit, and 88 12s. lid. a year, the maximum pay of an ordinary con stable. There were last year 1,099 men on the London police force re ceiving 24 shillings a week, which is scarce $6 American money, although the mere comparison of money value is, of course, no criterion of the ade quacy of the pay tor the police. Clothing is supplied to the constables free, or if, from any reason of special duty, the constable does not draw his supply of clothes from the govern ment stores he receives 5 a year m place of the clothing. The matter of allowance is an im portant one" in the remuneration re ceived by every member of the force. Constables, for instance, receive an allowance of coal money when they are not living in the stations. Mar ried men get fourpence a week and single men threepence halfpenny a week. Married men living in sta tions receive 40 pounds of coal a week the year round, single men 40 pounds a week in winter and 20 pounds in summer. This item of coal allowance amounted to 14,0o0 last year. The London policeman has by no means so good a job as far as remu neration is concerned as has the New York policeman, making all allow ance for the difference in compara tive values there and here. Nor has he nearly so fine a place in com parison with the lot of the average Londoner as the New York police man has compared with that of the average New Yorker. Indeed tie London policeman is poorly paid, even as pay goes in tngiaud. JNew York Sun. The Old Liberty JWU. The old liberty bell now rests in a handsome new case in the east room of Independence hall, Philadelphia. The case is made of selected quar tered white oak, is 5 feet 10 inches square and 10 feet high. On each of the four sides is a large plate glass over 4 feet wide and 7 feet high in the center. At each corner is a bronzed pillar surmounted by neat carved work, while over each of the glass sides is an arch with the names of the 13 original states carved, that of Pennsylvania being on the key stone. Facing the doorway, leading down from the top, is a carved model of "Old Abe," the famous war eagle, the wings measuring 54 inches from tip to tip. Beneath, on the top part of the case, is the inscription copied from the bell, "Proclaim liberty through out all the world to all the inhabitants thereof." On each corner of the top is a polished bronze torch. The bell is suspended within the case from the marred old yoke on which it hung when it made its historic peal. . The yoke itself was made from a tree just back of the hall. This is supported by columns of -bronze, and its col-, umns rest on a truck, which fits snugly inside the case, and appears to be simply a floor. Beneath are four rubber tired wheels, which will per mit a quick removal in case of fire. The new case complete cost $1,500. Philadelphia Letter. THE "PLUMPER" UP TO DATE. A Sad Suicide- Dr, Hollister received a letter yesterday from Ex-Gov. Mellette, of South Dakota, containing the sowrowful intelligence that hUsoaE. Wiley Mellette had committed suicide by cutting his throat. He was suf enng from typhoid fever, and during the deliriun incident to the disease, esaapsd from his nurse. When found he was dead, with his thrott cut from ear to ear. The letter is dated at ' Watertown, S. D , and tha tragicl affairs happened only a few days previously . Mr. Mellette worked in the company's shops in this city for some time, and was well known to our citizena. He held the position of professor of math ematics and mechanics in the university of Sonth Dakota, waa highly reapeoted by all, and his aad death will be deplored by hi many fiienda. - Beginninir Early- The following from the Evening TeU- eram, shows the predisposition of some boys in Oregon's metropolis: "A num ber ol little boys in Albina have recently . been detected in stealing wheat from the cars and warehouses and selling it for chicken feed. . They sold It in lots of 30 to 50 pounds, and were paid cent a pound- They explained that the wheat came from the warehouse sweeping, but in. reality the most ot it was purloined, tha boys cutting holes in tho sacks loaded on cattle cars, and allowing it to spill on the ground They then gathered it np, placed it iu sacks and sold it. Under these misrepresentations Mr. F. C. Barnes had purchased a quantity ot gram before the lads- were suspected and the frauds discovered. None ot Ihe lads have been arrested." ' . , A Hprlukle of Spice. ' "We don't," shouted the impassioned orator, "we don't want nothing ehe but the aglih laoguace spoken in this country, and don't you forget it." And the hearers promised themselves to remember what be bad -spoken. - Indiartapoli Journal. They pulled the rope, they beat him sore. But no, be would not go; He only hung bit bead and thought, "This is my hoor of whoa." " Cincinnati Tridune. Slahan on Battleships. . Captain Ma ban was asked some questions by an t.nglisliman about the battleship of the future, and this was his answer: "Military superior ity in warfare depends upon heavy blows struck at the enemy's organ ized fighting force. Such blows must be struck by massed forces, the units of which should be under the unity of command essential to success. The same aggregate of force in two or three different vessels will rarely be equal to that concentrated in one, be cause of thedrmcultyof insuring mu tual support. This means heavy ves sels or battleships. Of course, like all other statements, this means limi tation. The size of vessels is condi tioned not only by construction con siderations, but by the fact that you need to scatter at times as well as concentrate. This involves the neces sity of dividing your force into sev eral vessels, because a ship once built cannot be divided. Between the twe horns of the dilemma you must strike a- mean, but always a battleship." Signs of the Time. The sign in front of a Georgetown (Md.) store reads as follows: "Born with a brain within a brain, I can kure every kind of misery in a short time with only the best erbs to be used." A Chicago store announces, 'Pickles and New York Papers." In Philadelphia there is a sign reading. "Ho Made Pies," and the sign of a barber shop in the same city reads. G.

"No woman," said a dentist the other day, "need have sunken cheeks nowadays, and any one of the sex is foolish if she continues to maintain a facial defect that can readily be rem edied." "What's the remedy?" asked a cu rious man who heard the remark. "Why, the plumper, of course," was the laconic reply. "And what is the plumper?" "It is a dental device that throws the sunken cheek outward, giving it an attractive plumpness. Plumpers were made years ago, before the im provements of modern dentistry, but the modern plumper doesn't at all resemble the old fashioned article. "These old fashioned plumpers were plates to which were attached concave disks. The plate fitted into the roof of the mouth so that the disk pressed against the inside of the cheek and threw it outward, impart ing the appearance of plumpness. "lhis old disk has been entirely done away with nowadays, and in its stead is a plate with an artificial gum which , throws the cheek out. The sinking of the cheeks is usually due to the recession of the natural gum, caused by the loss of teeth, but sometimes the cheek is naturally sunken, even when the teeth are in tact. The insertion of a plumper in to the mouth will instantly remove this facial defect. 'Most dentists make plumpers to order for patients, but they can be bought for a trifling sum at any man ufactory of dental materials. They are generally made of rubber, al though celluloid, and in some in stances gold, is the material used in the manufacture. 'The method of manufacture is simple. An impression of the roof of the mouth and the gums is taken in wax. A mold is. made from the im pression and the mold used in mak ing the plumper plate. Where the natural gum is sunken the plate is simply filled out, so that whan it is inserted in the mouth it will throw the cheek outward. The plate is held in place by suction. As a rule, plump ers are made with artificial teeth also, although if the patient desires the plate alone is made. "Where the jaw has been broken or is misshapen, as the result of an accident, the plumper proves very effective in removing: the facial de fect. "The value of the device is that it cannot be detected upon a minute ex amination or the interior of the mouth. It does not interfere at all with articulation or the mastication of food. Plumpers are used by some actresses, who are aware of their value as a beautifier of the mouth and cheeks." New York Sun. - NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION. . Laxb Office at Th Dalles. Orioon, November 6.
