WHY IT SHOULD BE- IS It. DOLPH.
The sttitnde of the bolters become
- more censurable every day, for they
are not only blocking legislation and
defeating the expressed wishes of the
people in the ohoice of United States
- j senator, bat have not paid the least
' ' attention to petitions of their constit
uents or consolidated their votes on
any man to represent Oregon in con
gress; Daring the campaign last
June" the issue was fairly made be
tween Dolph and anti-Dolph, and on
' every platform in the state Republican
speakers were called upon to dt-fond
the actions ol the senior senator. He
: was assailed by Democratic and Pop
ulist orators and papers.and particular
emphasis was eiveu to hia position on
.the money question. There never was
a cinvaas cf the stats of Oregon in
which such particular Strega was laid
upon the approaching election of U.
8. senator. Voters were warned that
a vote for the Republican ticket was a
vote for the re-eleotion of Hon. J. N.
Dolph to the United States senate.and
every available objection to him was
. made. Notwithstanding this, fact the
Republicans carried the state by over
twenty thousand majority, and the
peoplit virtually said by (bat large
plurality that they desired Mr. Dolpb
to retain his position in congress. He
was virtually elected 'to the senate by
the popular tote of the electors, and
it wag so considered until the silver
craze rendered some legislators wild
and made them forget every obligation
to their constituents and to the party.
In Eastern Oregon Senator Dolph
was favored because he was an able
champion of the Republican doctrine
of protection,' and had supported
measures . and secured their passage
through the senate in the interest of
the producer. He was instrumental
in the forfeiture of the Wallula-
Fortland. land grant, and be framed
and introduced the just bill that be
came a law. The Columbia river bad
reoeived larger appropriations during
tin time he was senator from Oregon
thin ever before, and the government
work at the Locks had been changed
to the contract system. - Duribtz tbree
. s 'anions be bad secured the passage of
a bill through the senate for the con
struction of a ship railway above this
point to Celilo, carrying with them lib
eral appropriations; hut twice these
measures had been defeated in a Dem
ocratic house. last- Year he was
successful, and the preliminary survey
- for a ship railway has been made,
The title to the wagon road land grants,
through bis efforts, has been settled by
the passage of an act of congress.
When the forfeited lands went back
to the public domain it was by his ar
duous endeavors that they were reduced
to the minimum price of $1.25 an acre
and an extension of time siven in which
settlers could make the payments. In
every instance he has proved himself a
friend to the producer and farmer, and
has done more for the state of Oregon
than any other man who .ever repre
sented hat Washington.- This sense-
eta howl about Mr. Dolph being a
corporation attorney, under the pay of
Wall street and acting in the interest
of Eoelish gold-loaners, comes from
the: Populists' camp, and is used to
cause dissension in Republican ranks
and pave the way. for their success in
1896. His record for the twelve years
he has been in the senate is well known,
and it proves absolutely false every one
f these groundless charges.
'Mr. Dplpb is undopbtedly the choice
of 'the people for- United States sena
tor, and has proved himself on public
questions a statesman among states
men. He has been the friend of the
people, and an earnest advocate of an
open river. . As a champion of the
grand principles of. the Republican
parly thfre is not his peer on the Pa
citio coast, and in the next congress it
will need its ablest defenders on the
floors of congress. For these and
o'her . reasons - )Qn. J. N. Dolpb
should be re-elected to the position he
has occupit-d with such unquestionable
ability and integrity.
TBE GOLD RESERVE.
The harangues of Mlverites that the
attempts of President Cleveland to
save tbe credit of the nation by main
taining sufficient gold In the treasury
to pay any notes that may be presented
in honest coin is done to favor Wail
street capitalists, is demogogiein of the
- worst kiud. A national pledge should
be as sacred as one made by an in
dividual, and the government has
promised to redeem these notes in
either gold or silver as tbe person may
desire. Since the agitation of the sil
ver question the demand for gold in
payment of obligations baslarguly in
creased, and this bas caused an ex: ra
drain on the treasury. If these howl
ing silverites are patriotic end honest
they will attempt to keep down this
demand on the treasury by ceasing to
preach their financial fallacies, and
doing all tbey can to re establish public
confidence. The people are afraid the
country wiil change to a silver basis,
and are cashing every United States
note in gold. Tbey are afraid of bank
ruptcy, and are making a run on the
back to cash their checks before repu
diation is adopted. This fear his been
created by wild theorists, who advocate
impracticable notions of finance, which
have proved destructive wherever
tried. If the people were confident
that the nation would be honest with
its creditors the drain on the treasury
would stop.and resort would net he had
to every possible means to keep up the
gold reserve. The commercial world
demands a single standard, and that
standard to be gold. If thn aecre-ary
of the treasury were to refuse to pay
gold when it was required It would be
. notice to tbe world (bt toe United

foreigner holding our securities would
demand payment, and our commercial
relations would be hampered in a very
disastrous tninner.f There is only one
safe plan to follow in finance?, and
that is the fours? that has been pur
sued by RtpuMi'an administrations
ever since toe war, and is now being
followed by Mr. Cleveland. In the
past it has been the means of estab
lishing national credit and reviving
the business of the country after the
terrible stagnation following the late
rebellion, and in the future it will
again force trade into its former pros
perous channels.
FISH WHEELS.
There has not been a session of th
legislature for a number cf years that
Astoria bus not attempted to have
law passed abolishing fish wheels as
means of catching salmon, and an ef
fort J now. being made in this direc
tion by the Clatsop delegation. Fish
wheels are not ued except in eddiep,
where there is a counter current, and
where other means would not be profit
able. They are not in operation ex
cept at the Cascades and in the middle
and upper Cotumbia. The Aston
fiibermen have the first chance at tb
run of salmon hefore they reach the
upper waters of the river, and
should not be iealous of the
wheelmen who are. forced
bs " satibfied with those which
escape the meshes of their miles c
gill-nets.
It is a fact to (which all will
assent that the salmon industry
should be protected by legislation; bu
the place where protection would be
most effective is at tbe mouth
of tbe river, where the stream
blockaded every season by the nets of
the Astoria fishermen, and myriads of
fish are driven farther up the coast.
Ia-this connection tbe bills introduced
by Hons. W. W. 8 eiwer and T. R.
Cmm deals with tbe danger to this in
dustry. All the fish possible should
be allowed to enter the stream and go to
their spawning ground, and not be
driven away by a wa.ll of nets at the
entrance of the' Columbia. After tbe
fi-th enter the stream they are legiti
mate prey, and are the property
"of those who demre to catch them,
Wheels are not damaging to tbe run
in' the least, or mors destructive to
fish than tbe gill nets, and fraluion are
forced to course up tbe stream over a
hundred and fifty miles before tbey
reach the brat of these, ibey are so
constructed that small fish pass through
the meshes and regain their native
element, and only the larger and sale
able ones are retained.
It may be that the legislators are
not properly informed on this subject,
and they imagine that wheelmen at the
Cascades andn the middle Columbia
ruthlessly destroy the salmon that find
their way up stream. Tbe fact is
oanning fish has developed largely in
this vicinity during the lost few years,
and next season there will be two can
neries in operation at Thn Dalles,
When the run reaches here those who
have managed to eccape the miles of
nets at the mouth the wheels are
lowered into tbe water, and are placed
in eddies which the fish will naturally
follow.. The revolving hopper or
whatever it may be termed scoops up
the larger fish, and the meshes in thn
wire netting permit the smaller ones
to pass through. This is not at all
destructive of tbe run, and when it is
fully understood will not be so consid
ered.
THE TBI LB 7 FOOT.
Americans possess a mercurial tern
perament almost f qual to the French
or lrisb. The ra af'.er ''Trilby" the
creation of Air. M inner in his cele
brated book, bas extended over tbe
continent, and the foot of the heroine
has become a fashionable fad. The
author of the book is an artist, and, in
bis very interesting story," gave
bis heroine perfect pedal extremities;
but it is not expected that full atten
tion should be given to the feet and
the heart and brain neglected. It is a
safe rale to follow to spend great care
on tbe culture of the head and heart,
and the feet . will take care of them
selves. If the coming woman expects
to do her part in the progress of the
world, force of tuind and proper en
ergy of the affections should be culti
vated, and not too much time giviog
to produce artistic curves in that por
tion of the physique upon wbicb de
pendence is placed to propel one over
the mud and filth through which it
may be necessary to pass. Tbe wives
and mothera of tbe twentieth century
should have large and cultured brains,
affectionate and sympathetic hearts,
and it will make little d ff 'rence
whether they wear No. 1 or No. 6
shoes, or whether their feet have Gre
cian or Trilby curvatures,or are shaped
solidly like Gothic columns.
We dislike allowing an issue of tbe
Democrat go by without mentioning
the fact that the present state legisla
ture is a failure. It bas doae nothing,
doesn't intend to do anything, and has
not brains to do anything if it
wanted to. This doesn't refer to
several of the members, solid, capable
men, who are kept from doing
bytbing by the ra n around th m.
Albany Democrat. It is to be
explored . tbat tht Republican
carried the state last June by a lare
majority, and that 42 of tbe legisla
tors are attempting to Carry out the
wishes of the people by voting for Mr.
Dolph for senator. Of course the
Democrat, and other paper of the
name political predilections, earnestly
wish-thin was other wioe. They would
rather see any mn returned from
Oregon than Senator Dolph, tor in the
senate ho has proved himself an able
ohampton of Republican principles.
As regards bnins" we have nevpr
considered tie editor of tbe Democrat
a competent judge.
THU BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The bond sale which has just bpen
announced by thn president is the
most important development of the
business situation for the week, says
the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Tm or
twelve days ago, when the raids on the
treasury sent the gold fund down to
about 842,000,000, there was a finan
cial szare in the bnsiness center", and
a return of the panic times of 1S93
waB for a few days look' d fur. A
change for the better r.jc .rn'd, how
ever, when the assurances of European
bankers that they would buy bonds
were made known to the public. Then
there was a rally in the stock market,
and a better feeling spread through
business circles. Everybody saw that
the country's credit remained good in
spite of the 'fiuancial blunders and
imbecilities of a-ngres. The govern
ment's intention to deal honestly wkh
its creditors was recognized, and this
opened to it tbe money markets of the
world.
Now that the bond sale has been ar
ranged a further brightening of the
bu. lines 3 sky is assured. The treas
ury peril has been averted, and as this
has been the chief disturbing factor in
the situations further improvement in
tnde may reasonably be looked for
soon. As measured by ratlrod earn
ings, the. conditions are favorable. The
in;reese in revenues among the roads
catering in Sr. Louts is especially
large and gratifying. Bank clearances
in Sr. Louis and other great business
c ;nters tell the same story of im
proved trade Not only . is there an
excess in both fields over tbe exhibit
bf twelve months ago, but there is an
increase above that of the fall and
early winter months. Reports from
soma of tbe railroads passing through
the territory tributary to this city show
earnings closely approaching those of
the same date before the panic period.
"Bradstreet'a" current business
news department, which covers tbe
whole couutry, continues to snow more
resumption than suspensions of work.
Strikes and lockouts are utHer way in
various places, but they apparently do
not far, if at al', exceed the record of
norma) seasons. Disturbances of this
sort, unhapp'ly, are never altogether
absent. On the whole, however,
the profcpects for an early re
turn of business prosperity are
bright. The relief societies in the
different cities find far less want than
they did last wintsr. There has been
a large falling off, as compared vith a
year ago, in the number of the unem
ployed. In S'. Louis the change in
this direction is particularly striking.
There is a fair degree cf activity here
in the leading industries. Merchants,
bankers, manufacturers and '.us ness
men of all classes in this city say that
the improvement ii conditions since
last winter bag been marked, and they
are takieg a cheerful view of the sit
nation.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Wei-Hai-Wei is now in the bands
of the Japanese, and the Chinese fleet
is reported wiped out ' of existence,
Japan bas conducted the war in a very
effective manner, and has been bene
fited considerably by adopting western
civilization.
The new charter bill for Portland
passed the senate yesterday, and will
meet with no great opposition in the
house. It will reduce the expenses of
the city government several thousand
dollars, and economy is a cardinal vir
tue these days.
Two telephone systems will be in
operation in this city very soon, and
communication by this means should
be had with towns in the interior of
the county. Then, if street cars were
added to the enterprise The Dallei
might tie expected to be on the bipb
road of advancement.
According to the hi ennial report
for thn year ending 1894, of the ad
jutant general of the Oregon .National
Guard, thn least expensive to the state
bas been the Third rrgiment in 'East
ern Oregon. The first regiment roat
the state during the two years $25,
237.45, -hecond 11,898 83 and tbe
Third 7,934 71, or less than one-third
ef the expenses of the First. Our
regiment- is not, perhaps, as well
quipped as the others; but for actual
services in the fie d would be equally
efficient.
Miss Annie Euecker, tbe only
woman saved on the Elbe, has received
a command to visit the queen at her
royal residence at the lwle of Wight.
This may mean something wbijh will
he of a pecunary benefit to the young
lady, or it m ly end in her inj -sty
congratulating her on her escape and
expressing sympathy for the other un
fortunate passengers. Miss Buecker
will have the; privilege to cszi on
royalty; but this will not clothe or feed
her or till her depleted purse.
An amendment to tbe state consti
tution of Washington, voted on and
ratified at the last election, has gone
into effVot by the proclamation of Gov
ernor McGraw. It amends section 5
of article 16 so as to read: ' "Noue ot
the permanent school fuoda of this
state shall ever be loaned to private
persons or corporations, but it may b.
invested in national, state, coun'v.
municipal or school district . bonds."
It would be well if Oregon had such a
law. The funds would bs much &h(t
than now, and if school dis rict bond
were piven the preference it. would
help out d strcts in their financial
affriira.
Persons who arrived froai.S ilni to
day 84V the supporters of Mr. Dolph
were never as firm during the contest
as now. lhey are hopeful of yietory,
and in the racks of the bolters there
are figus of weakness. An election
may be expected, for some of those
opposing tbe caucus nominee say the"
will not return to their constituents
without a senator is chosen, even if to
accomplish it they will be forced to
vote for Mr. Dolph. . Backed by the
people, confident in the integrity and
anility of the neo'or-senntor, his sup
porters ar hrm in the position thej
have taken, and are satisfied tbey ar
acting for the bestinterests of the party
and of tbe state. .
Tbe president has sent another mes
sage toecngress, wherein he states that
he has made arrangements by which'
a little less then $G2.000 000 in bonds
will be isKued bearing 4 per cent in
terest, and by this a sum slightly in
excess of 605,000,000 in gold will be
realized. This will increase the
amount in the treasury to a little over
$100,000,000. The privilege is re
served to the government to substitute
at par within ten days from date for
these bonds others payable in gold snd
only bearing 3 per cent interest. If
congress should adopt the iattpr plan
it wouM save to tbe country 816,174,
770 in 30 years, the dare of the ma
turity of the coin bonds. Will con
gress have sufficient financial sense to
atl'jpt the latter iilai ?
One man who has just returned from
Salem has learned while there that
Mr. Dolph is an enemy of an open
river, and is in favor of corporations.
This he says, is the reaon of the oppo
to bis election. B "-h' For the past
twelve years Mr. Dolpb has been in
the senate, and during that time larg
er appropriations have b-en received
for the improvement of the Columbia
river than ever before, the Wallula
Portland land grant has been forfeited
to the government and the title to the
military wagon road grants has been
definitely seultd. M . Dolph's record
on public q'ie3tions is open for inspec
tion, and tbe bolters at Salem should
study 'this carefully before making
their wi'd charges against the senator.
The S.n Francisco Examiner prints
a story today that Admiral Beardslee
bas taken possession of Pearl harbor
and declared a protectorate over the
S-indwich islands. This is not gener
ally credited, and may be nothing hut
a sensational rumor. ' President Dole
has proved himself equal to any
emergency, and the little rebellion was
soon quelled by his promptness. There
can be no necessity for a protectorate
over these islands, except tbe United
S'ates intends to annex them whether
tbe people desire it or not. Life and
property appear to be safe, and the
infant republic does not desire to be
taken under tbe wing of this country
to be kept out of the cold or wet.
Secretary Gresham is about to inter
fere on behalf of the Americans who
hive been sentenced ti the extreme
penal'y of the law for complicity in
the Hawaiian revolution, and who
were found guilty by a military tri
bunal. The protection of citizens is
admirable in any government; but
those owing allegiance to a foreign
country should be very careful bow
they behave themselves in the land of
their residence for tbey must be amena
ble to law. If tbe Americans engaged
in the revolution have been found
guilty under tbe laws of the new re
public of a capital crime they must
suff-r '.he consequence. In the Sand
wich islands, or any other country,
Americans should enjoy no greater
immunity than the sutjucts of other
natioDs.
The Yamhill Reporter says: But
two weeks more remain of the Ifgis
lative session. Little ef constqu'ence
has been accomplished, and perhaps
there would not be much to regret on
that account if the legislature should
adj iurn tomorrow. But the danger is
tbat the usual amount of legislation
will be ru-hed through during the ex
piring dvs, without proper considera
tion. The ' senatorial souaiible ha
rumed the pro-peci of any very valu
ablu legiulation lhere is no enour-
aeinff rospp t of getting that arnica
bly settled either. The factious min
ority have shown utter inability to
agree upon a candidate of their own,
and they refuse to support a man who
represents the views of the majority,
Whether they will keep up the.ir op
position to the extent of denying the
state representation in the United
States senate, a few more days will
determine. In that event it wonld be
another case of biting off the nose to
spite the face.

Stge to congress was presented in h
s.sste today by Seoator Vila. Tbe
measure is entitled "A bill to save tbe
Am r'csn people $16,173,770." It recites
tbe president's statement that be bad
agreed to issue $63.400 000 bonds paya
ble in "coin" at an interest rate equiva
lent to 3 8 4 per cent, but bad retoioed
tbe right to issue bonds payable in gold
at 8 per cent if coot-rets granted
authority. Tne bi i states this difference
iu io crest amounts to 339 159 a year, or
$16,174,770 in the 80 years during which
tne bonds ran. I: is provided tbat ibe
secretary ot tbe treasury shall be author
ed lo isue $65,000,000 bonds at 8 ceot

be used in redeeming legal tenders, aod
to be exempt from tax.

We nugbt to be fully informed
"I am not tbe keeper ot 'he executive

Bui," insisted Hoar, 'we should haye
tbe details. We bave only tbe statement
ot certain facts aod conclusions by tbe
pres dent, but there is an entire abience
of details."
"I bave no more details than any other
senator," said Vilas.
Senator Woicoit gave a new turn to tbe
discussion, "The morning reports tell
us," i-aid be, these'bonds are being taken
io London at 11 2 and by this means
tbe synoicate ol Jewish bankers, who
bave taken tbe boBds, are netting a
profit of 8 per cent
Vilas sbid tbat was an additional reason
wby the new form of bonds sbou d be
authorized.
It Warn a Hard Blow.

Harry Hayward today, delivered a blow
whi:b s sggtred tbe defense. Peter
Vallalie, tbe backmao, of whom Harry

assist lo the proposed crime, said Harry
approached blm with questions as to
whether be had ever "done anytriog,1
and, if so. whether bis conscience bothered
bim. Hayward later asked Vallalie
whether be would drive a hack into Lake
Calhoun and let tbe occupant drown for
a so ra of money.
I told nitn I was not swimmer," said
Vallalie, "and tbat was about the end of
it."
Erwlo recognised the supreme impor
tance of tb s testimony, and tried to have
it stric'ceo out entirely. The court.
however, refused to sustain his objecion.
and tbe evidence goes to the jury.
The Hat ward family did nor apnear in

Hayward, himself, will ue one of the first
wiinessts put on for tbe defense. Tbe
opening address for the defense is to be
made bv John Day Smitb.
Mrs. Euioia God le. a trance-medium.
testified that at Harry Hayward'a request
she told Miss Giog, who called to have
ber fortune told, tbat she would be very
