SATURDAY . AUGUST 10, 1895
SUNDAY LAWS.
Sunday laws have been upheld by
courts because they were sanitary
measures, as it Is necessary for the
well-being of the people that one
seventh part of the time should be de
voted to rest and recuperation. But
such a decision would apply with equal
force if the observance of Saturday
were made obligatory as it does now
regarding Sunday. If the validity of
the law, or its constitutionality, rest
on this sanitary feature any seventh
day will answer the purpose. There
may be some argument in making the
- rest day as nearly universal as possible;
but in forbidding all secular work law
makers should be careful that they do
not trample on the conscientious
scruples of any religious denomination
that consider another the holy day
taught in the Bible. Those who have
no veneration for religion should be
made to have that respect for the feel
ings . of their neighbors that any
disturbance of the approved methods
of worship would be punished as a
misdemeanor. This may furnish a
reason for the statute in many states
forbidding anyone following his voca
tion on Sunday; but the constitutional
privilege of JewB and Seven-Day Ad
ventists of worshiping God according
to their own conscience would ap
parently mark exceptions to the strict
enforcement of the law. This is not
the fact, and today in Tennessee there
are nine honest Americans citizens
suffering imprisonment because they
had been found guilty of working on
Sunday, although, they strictly ob
. served the seventh day.
There are decisions in some of our
highest courts that Christianity ia a
part of the common 'law of the land;
but this must be relegated to the fic
tions of jurisprudence, for the consti
tution not only does not inculcate any
religious dogmas, but is silent even on
the existence of God or of a supreme
being. That grand instrument was
drafted by some of the brightest
statesmen of the eighteenth century,
and they were very careful that church
and state should be completely sepa
rated in the republic. This is the
supreme law of the land, and it is very
doubtful if the statute in Tennessee or
any other state would be upheld in
the supreme court .against Jews or
other Sabbatarians.
- Aside from our written laws, which
grant the greatest freedom to the citi
zen, there has been injected into the
if m ' t .
circulating medium, and the result
will be that foreign towns will grow
riuh at the expense of home communi
ties. It has often been remarked that
The Dalles could profit by the applica
tion of this home-buying doctrine, and
perhaps it would have been better in
the past and may be more beneficial
in the future. It would not be fair to
make this charge against our citizens
without there were instances which
would lead to the conclusion, and these
might not be readily given The gen
eral application of the idea of protec
tion of the home market is beneficial
to every community, and is the sure
road to wealth and prosperity. During
the past fe wyears the opposition boat on
the river has been generally patronized
by our citizens: but there are one or
more exceptions where this has not
been done, and the doctrine of home
protection should be carefully studied
by these. Every producer in the
county has been benefitted by the Req
ulator line, and every pound of freight
shipped by it increases its permanency
as a practical solution of the transpor
tation problem. Patronizing home
industries comes under the same head
ing as buying at home or home protec
tion, and he who refuses to ship by
the local lino is as censurable as he
who takes his money and buys abroad
what might be purchased here. One
is as suicidal as the other, and are sus
ceptible to the same censure.
IMMIGRATION.
rulings of our courts and social customs
many ideas .of English Puritanism,
which were extant in New and Old
England in the last century. Some of
them have been expunged from what
is termed the common law of the land
by enlightened judges, and others yet
remain which will in time share the
same fate. Puritanism was a plant of
stalwart growth during the political
and religious persecutions of the last
century, and it took deep root in our
own soil. Perhaps its strong elements
of character were necessary when be
who valued his liberty waged a con
stant warfare against the encroach
ments of kings and priests, and it may
be that we owe the strength and sta
bility of our institutions to the un
wavering and unconquerable spirit of
the old Puritans who settled in Massa
chusetts. A new era has dawned, and
the same exigencies do not have to be
combatted. The blue laws of Connec
ticut may have served their purposes,
and suited society in the last century;
but it would be considered a relic of
barbarism to enforce them now. A
striot enforcement of Sunday laws
must be placed in the same category
and be considered one of the obsolete
customs of a past age, and are unques
tionably an offshoot of Puritanism.
With Sabbatarians they savor of per
secution of the most flagrant kind, and
these men should have equal liberty
with observers of Sunday. Public
sentiment is becoming aroused in this
matter, and it will not be long before
the imprisonment of the Adventists
in Tennessee will be classed as actu
ated by the same spirit that hanged
witches in Salem, drove Roger Wil
liams into exile and banished Quakers
from Massachusetts.
THE SPRAGUE FLEE.
SSSSBBB
The fire at Sprague, Wash., last Sat
urday was one of the mojt destructive
that has ever been known in the his
tory of the northwest. In a few hours,
in open daylight, over a million and a
half dollars' worth of property was
destroyed by fire, and the only way
the flames were stopped was by blowing-up'
buildings in Its pathway. As a
result many families are left destitute
and homeless. This is a deplorable
affliction on any community; but help
will be forthcoming from neighboring
, cities as soon as the facts are known,
' and we presume by this time the wants
of the people regarding provisions and
shelter have been amply supplied.
This, like other great conflagrations,
could not be controlled after it gained
headwajvand prevention of, is a great
er necessity than protection aerainst
flames. The incipient blaze caused by a
match, is the point where the mischief
begins, and where the remedy should
. be applied. In the economy of muni
cipal governments it is wise to have
ample protection against fire; but we
do not know of any single system chat
will check the career of the destruc
tive demon if it gets a good start. In
-Chicago granite buildings crumbled
to dust in the great fire of '71, and
brick structures have on different oc
cassions proved food for flames. The
greatest care should be exercised to
remove every substance in by-ways
and alleys where a match carleessly
lighted may imperil millions of prop
erty, and often searching investiga
tions in this line are of more impor
tande to property owners than
steamers and improved water systems.
Every well regulated city should have
a good water supply, and at the same
time the police force should -exercise
diligence in having alleys and by
ways cleaned of all inflammable ma
terials. The first is a necessity that
citizens should require of the munici
pality, and the latter should be
imperatively demanded as a means of
prevention, which is of the greatest
importance in all threatened emer
gencies. '- -
HOME PROTECTION.
During the last two year3 foreign
immigration has declined, because of
the business depression. On this sub
ject the New York Sun has the follow
ing: "The reason for this decline, of
course, was the depression of business:
and hence the improvement which has
now set in is likely to be followed by a
much greater immigration, which, left
unchecked, will prodably go on in
creasing for the rest of this century.
The same oauses that augmented immi
gration during this decade up to the
last year, making ita total far larger
than previously, will continue oper
ative. They are the exactions of mil
itary service in the European courtries
and the opportunities offered by pros
perity here. Without regard to these
influences, prejudice and persecution
have driven hither great numbers of
Jewish immigrants, of whom a large
part of the diminished total for the
last year was made up. This tendency
of the Jews of Russia and Poland and
of the east of Europe generally cannot
be regarded as wholly desirable for us.
It is not because they are Jews that
the addition of so many of them to the
population of this country is of ques
tionable advantage, at least immed
iately. It is because they are so gen
erally unfitted for other labor than
that with which the market is already
overstocked. They also include great
numbers of people who are low in the
scale of civilization. Moreover, they
have been coming hither too fast for
their proper assimilation. But this
tendency of the Jews to seek this
country, and more especially its large
cities, is likely to continue until ours
becomes the land where the children
of Israel are the most numerous."
While it may be true that the Rus
sian and Polish Jews who have immi
grated to New York, are a very unde
sirable class, and "low in the scale of
civilization," this same affliction has
not been felt in other parts of the
country. But is this not true of other
foreigners who seek large cities? The
lower classes can always find their
level in a populous city much easier
than in sparsely settled districts, and
we presume the Swedes, French and
other nationalities who make their
homes in the slums of New York or
Chicago would be out of their element
in smaller communities. These dregs
of European social and political ele
ments will always seek some place
where they will be at borne with the
environments, and for this reason the
large centers of population have al
ways been the breeding nests of an
archy and communism. But the rec
ords of the criminal courts of the
country speak in complimentary terms
of the Jews as a law-abiding people,
and they are seldom found in the army
of tramps.
All immigrants are not desirable ac
cessions to our population; but a dis
tinction should be made between those
who naturally seek a life of pilfering
and dissolution in the gutters of New
York to those who go to the country
and make homos. The latter are
among some of our most thrifty and
enterprising citizens, and in almost
every western state they have madt
desirable farms in forests that would
nave remained in tneir primeval con
dition had it not been for their indus
try and perseverance. These assim
ilate with our institutions, and become
a substantial and intelligent part of
every commonwealth.
JINGOISM PREVALENT.
There appears to be considerable
jingoism in the editorials of the lead
ing papers of this country regarding
the Monroe doctr.ne, and its reference
to international complications on this
continent. When the boundary ques
tion between Great Britain and Vene
zuela first came into prominence there
was a loud and long howl in some of
the metropolitan papers regarding this
sentence in President Monroe's mess
age regarding foreign interference
with American affairs, commonly
known as the Monroe doctrine. The
same was true when a British fleet en
forced the demand for Indemnity for
outrages perpetrated on a British sub
ject in Nicaragua, and President
Cleveland and Secretary Gre3ham were
roundly abused for not ordering our
navy to Corinto to drive the British
tars away. Recently, when tho Eng-
lish standard was raised over a deso
late island off the coast of Brazil, and
which Great Britain had claimed for
centuries, there wa3 the same spurt of
jingoism about the Monroe doctrine,
and this has not yet quieted down.
All this time an American citizen, Ex-
Consul Waller, has been unjustly im
prisoned in France, and there has been
nc demand for his release. The atten
tion of the state department and of
the president has been called to the
fact, but no action has been taken. In
dependence day has been celebrated
by orations denouncing British greed
and insolence regarding Nicaragua,
Venezuela and Trinidade; but not one
word has been uttered to arouse the
people to demand that the case of
Waller be brought to the attention of
the French authorities. He lies in a
loathsome dungeon, sick and helpless,
and his appeals to his government for
aid have been unheeded. '
If tho suggestion in President Mon
roe's message is to be the policy of this
country it should receive the author
ity of an act of congress and the en
dorsement of the chief executive.
This mouthing of bombastic words
and phrases in stump orations amounts
to little or nothing, and their principal
effect is to incite the populace. Of
course a presidential election is rap
idly approaching, and the prejudices
of the masses have to be endorsed and
cajoled so that their votes may be con
trolled. The anti-British feeling is
stronger in the United States among a
certain class than any other, and this
element is a power at the ballot box.
But it should be beneath the dignity
of statesmen to excite the animosity
of the masses against a friendly nation
simply for personal and political ob
jects, and such a course is only worthy
of the time-serving office-seeker. If
the Monroe doctrine is the policy of
the nation there should be little talk
about it, but decisive and prompt ac
tion in every instance where it. has
been infringed, whether in South
America or the Sandwich islands.
Protection to our ov n citizens is of
greater importance than the protection
of neighboring republics. It is only a
few days since that an American citi
zen in Havana was forced to call on a
British consul to be rescued from the
hands of the Spanish police, and
Americans are frequently maltreated
and abused in foreign countries with
out any redress being, demanded for
the injuries. There should be less
bombast and more action in interna
tional affairs, and the government
should carry out its policy with no
flourish of trumpets, but with its war
ships. A nation is respected by its
citizens when its sheltering arms are
thrown them in every clime and
every emergency, and by other coun
tries wben it nas Tew words but a
prompt and decisive policy.
MEASURES, NOT MEN.
THE OLD GUARD.
The members of the "Old Guard"
of equal freedom which the abolition
ists of ante-bellum days have been
properly - termed have nearly all
passed to the silent majority, and the
last among these to take the long jour
ney was Rev. Edward Bucher, who
died a few days ago at the advanced
age of 92 years. He championed the
cause of Lovejoy in Illinois in 1838,
and made fearless onslaughts on slav
ery and the slaveocracy of the country
from the pulpits in that state. Now,
when the curse of slavery has ceased
to exist for over thirty years, one' can
read the history of that irrepressible
conflict without prejudice and with a
thrill of pride in the action of those
stalwart characters, such as Phillips,
Garrison, Loyejoy and Beecher, who
made every possible sacrifice for the
freedom of mankind. There were
giants in those days, and they have
left their impress upon the nation
which will last through all ages. Illi
nois will erect a monument to Lovejoy.
and none more worthy of having his
name nancea aown to posterity ever
lived in that state. The great Lincoln
abolished slavery as a war measure;
but public sentiment was prepared for
it by those grand men who, often at
the risk of their lives, advocated equal
rights, and who -defied mobs and the
dough-faces of the north in the ex
pression of their sentiments. In the
great battle for human liberty in this
republio they were the "Old Guard,"
and they never met defeat. As per
haps the last one has passed from the
field of action it is proper that all citi
zens who feel a pride in the advance-
The objection against ex-Speaker
Reed as the candidate for president
next year is that he is from ' New Eng
land, and the coming man should be
from the west. But this is not a valid
objection, for locality should make
little difference with a competent can
didate. Mr. Reed has proved himself
a very able legislator, and without
doubt would make an excellent execu
tive. He is sound on Republican prin
ciples, and has sufficient individuality
not to be Irigntened from any course
he may deem expedient to follow. The
Republican party will be called upon
during the next few years to take
firm stand on many questions of na
tional importance, and the presiden
must be in harmony with congress for
united action. Mr. Reed's position on
the tariff and on finance is in line
with the traditions of the party, and
ho would stand shoulder to shoulder
with both branches of the Republican
congress to inaugurate the policies
the party pursued during its long con
trol of national affairs. But in 1896
measures will receive greater consider
ation than men, and any one of a dozen
leading Republicans who have proved
themselves solid on party questions will
draw a full vote. The people are tired
of Democracy and want a change.
They desire a restoration of protec
tion, and an administration In power
of which there is no danger that it
will cater to the wild theories of Pop
ulists on the money or other questions.

Hon. Binger Hermann has written
a letter to the Oregonian declaring that
ne will not ooit tne party it ne does
not receive the nomination for
congress next year. The country is
now safe, and Oregon will give its
usual Republican majority in lo96.
From a personal letter we learn that
the remark that Secretary Kincaid
said that Oregon has enough popula
tion nrst appeared in tne oaiem corres
pondence ol the Oregonian. We never
did believe that the gentleman used
the expression; but it furnished an
excellent text for a sermon on "Moss-
backism," with which Oregon has been
afflicted for some time past.
The Jackson' Hole excitement has
quieted down, and nothing has been
read in the dispatches for several days
regarding the trouble with the Ban
nock Indians. It appears that, the
fault lay with the wnites more than
with the Bannocks, and .he settlers
should be held to the same observance
of the law as the aboriginees. We
have acquired title to tbis country by
a policy of aggression tbat would not
be upheld in any court in this age of
of tne world, and common humanity
would dictate that our first families
should receive fair treatment.
The school question in Manitoba has
not been settled, and if the Dominion
government attempts to enforce its
aw regarding sectarian schools in that
province trouble is liable to occur.
At last accounts an effort was being
made to compromise this vexed ques
tion; but the Manitobans appear firm
in their determination that the ir
schools shall be undenominational and
not religious institutions. Education
should be entirely segregated from all
religious dogmas or creeds, and a free
people should be careful to keep church
and state separate.
As an attraction for the state fair to
be held in Salem next month the man
agement has made arrangements for a
! joint debate between Hon. R. G. Horr
I and Congressman Bryan to continue
, five days. Some may attend to hear
the money question discussed; but very
manv will stav at home rather than
suffer the torture. The Corbett-Fitz-
Simmons slugging match could not
take place in Oregon, for there is a
statute asainst such exhibitions of
brutality and cruelty; but there are
other ways of punishing men than by
permitting them to be principals in
prize fights.
Some time ago the T. M. made men
tion of a scheme to construct a tele
phone line from The Dalles to points
in Crook and Grant coumie-i, and ex
pressed itself as heartily endorsing the
enterprise. In the last issue of the
Prineville Review it says the line could
be built for 87000, and strongly advo
cates its construction. Such an enter
prise would do more to retain the trade
of the interior at this point than any
thing at present projected. It is said
the citizens of Prineville would sub
scribe largely if the scheme were
started.
The island of Trinidade, off the coast
of Brazil, over which the press dis
patches stated a few days ago there was
likely to be international complica
tions between the South American re
public and Great Britian, appears to be
claimed by Baron Hickey, who is mon
arch of ail he surveys. This is a very
insignificant piece of land for Brazil to
become excited over or over which the
the United States should attempt to
enforce the Monroe doctrine. It is
evidently a very small tempest in a
very small teapot, and our government
would acquire more glory to let Baron
Hickey and his barren island alone and
pay all its attention to the case of Ex
Consul Waller, who is confined in a
prison in Marseilles.
Some of the leading papers through
out the state are offering the asser
tions that if the fiend Durrant is
acquitted of the charge against him he
will be engaged at a remunerative
salary to play the leading role in the
play based upon the henious crimes
committed at Emanuel church, San
Francisco. The press is wrong, says
the Eugene Register. It is not only
wrong but is casting a rank insult
upon tne legitimate drama and the
higher class or actors. There is not
one actor of any prominence in fifty
that would belittle himself by working
upon such a text, say nothing of as
sociating with such a cut throat as
Durrant is ailedged to be. Actors
have a heart and a soul and a little
self respect.
The condition of missionaries in
China is such that European nations
should give them immediate protec
tion. In many instances the stations
are isolated from the sea coast, and
war ships can grant no adequate relief.
There are secret societies composed
of Chinese, whose only object appears
to be to murder all the Christians in
the country, natives or foreigners.
The trouble at Fu Cheng was caused
by one of these societies, and thev are
represented as very powerful in the in
terior. Chinese civilization may be
averse to Christianity, but this is no
reason why Christians should be
butchered with impunity by these
heathens. Great Britain and the United
States can talk sufficiently emphatic to
make these Mongolians behave them
selves and respect the rights of others.
It is reported that the executive
committee of the Oregon Press Asso
ciation will hold a reletting soon to re
organize the institution. The com
mittee will adopt rules that will bar
out all people who are not actively en
gaged in "the publication of a news
paper, ii tms action is tatcen the as
sociation win oe rem oa deled on a
proper basis. If it is a junketing oc
casion for every one who feels inclined
it should not go under a misnomer; and
if it is a meeting of editors or publishers
it should be confined to them, and not
include all their mends and relatives.
A press association is very much
needed for business purposes, for we
do not believe there is quite as much
throat cutting done anywhere as
among the publishers of papers in this
state. There should be uniform rules
adopted for mutual protection, and
then the editorial profession might be
benefited by an annual meeting.
The promptness of the British min
ister in China in demanding that the
perpetrators of the outrages at Cheng
Fu receive capita' punishment will be
applauded by the civilized world.
Such a cruel murder as was committed
by the infuriated mob would be con
demned in the most unqualified terms
in any community, and those who
were guilty of the outrage should re
ceive the severest punishment. Mis
sionaries in every country should re
ceive coutteous treatment, and are en
titled to the same degree of protection
as other citizens. They make many
sacrifices for the purposes of propogat
ing their religious views, and are law
abiding in every respect. It may be
tbat the authorities were not able to
control the mob; but those who took
part in the diabolical affair were re
sponsible for their actions. If these
men are punished it may deter otbers
from committing the same crimes; but
if necessary European countries and
America should guarantee protection
to their citizens with all the power at
iueir command.

NEGROES GREATLY EXCITED.
They Demand That Colored Miners In
Illinois be Protected.
Chicago. Aug. 6. Five hundred ex
cited negroes today in mass meeting
adopted a resolution demanding that
Governor Altgeld protect the colored
people in Spring Valley, 111., and as
serting their determination to leave
for that place tonight in the event of
the refusal of the governor to take
such action. The speeches were vio
lent and determined.
The colored people decided to stay
in session all day and a committee of
four was sent to Spring Valley to re
port on the situation. The committee
was expected to reach the mines at
3:30 this afternoon, and it was decided
that if they reported by telegaph that
tneir orothers were not being properly
protected by the state authorities a
company of rescuers would leave
Chicago at 4:10 p. M. arid go directly to
tne aid ot tne colored miners.
A white lawyer named Waters at
tempted to advise moderation, and was
promptly thrown through the window.
The Italian consul asked that the
police prevent the men from leaving
the city. Mayor Swift and Chief
Badenocb held' a conference, and it
was decided that if the colored men
attempt to board a train for Spring
valley they would be stopped by
policemen.

NEGROES WILL BE PROTECTED.
Spring Valley Coal Company Will Extend
Aid.
Chicago, Aug. 6. "Every step taken
by those Italians," said Frank Milli-
gan, the Chicago agent for the Spring
Valley Coal Company, "only makes
the company more determined to pro
tect the negroes. The trouble at
Spring Valley, where the late riots be
tween Italian and negro miners have
taken place, is not new at all, and just
recently it has been apparent that
matters were coming to a crisis. The
hatred between the two races has
grown more bitter, and the Italians
seize upon any opportunity to wreak
tneir vengeance, for the act of two or
three men, on the whole negro colony.
The company will protect the negroes.
you may be sure of that, because it has
more faith in them than in the Ital
ians. The negroes work much better
than the Italians and make better
miners. They are more faithful, and
their conduct has won most of the
miners to them. The company will
not discharge the negroes so as 'o con
ciliate the Italians; on the other
hand, if the Italians do not behave
themselves they may be out of work.
That is the stand the company takes.
Thieves, Not Protectors.

massacre and hold an inquiry. O'Con
nor has positively requested the Chi
nese government to issue a decree or
dering the capital punishment of the
offenders, and stringent orders will be
issued ior tne protection ot mission
aries throughout China. The Chinese
government has assented without de

A PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT.
Cuban Rebels Have at Last Established

New York, Aug. 7. A special to

ment in the valley of Yara. General
Bartolleme Basso, nominated by the

Hong Kong, Aug. 6. In an inter

Pendleton, Ore.. Aug. 8. A fir
broke out in the Transfer House las
night at 12 o'clock and spread rapidly
to adjoining buildings, burning tht
entire block between Webb and Rail
road streets, except Masonic Temple.
rne Transfer uousn was a two stor
wooden building and occupied half tht
block. The other buildings that burn eo
were two saloons, two restaurants and
l jewelry and notion store. The los-
is estimated at 815,000 with $7,500 in
surance.
The Transfer House was crowded

the exception of four persons: Old
Wolf, (Indian). Frank Breding, oi
Meacham, and a man and woman un
known. All were burned beyond
recognition and their charred remain
presented a sickning sight as they
were tamng irom tne ruins.
Mrs. Mary Halsello, of Adams, had
a narrow.escape, having been overcome
by smoke and unable to unlock her
door. The door was broken open bv
Brakeman Walraven, who picked the
woman up and removed her to the
street in an unconscious condition.
uotn tne orakemau and woman were
slightly burned.
ine nre originated by a roomer
throwing a lighted match accidentally
into comoustioie material in tho second
story. The express office and O. R. &
N. depot buildings were saved by the
heroic work of the firemen and rail
road employes.
it is now thought that a woman
named Maggie Preston, of Adams, was
burned. Two men who jumped from
tne windows were oaoiy hurt.
A CHANGE OF TENCE.
It May be Granted in the Durrant Murder
Case After All.
San Francisco, Aug. 7. Theodore
Durrant may not be tried in San Fran
cisco after all. The reason for this is
the tangle in which the attorneys in
tne case ana themselves in regard to
jurors. After much care and delibera
tion seven jurors have been selected
to try the case, only to find two jurors
oojectiouaoie in more ways tnan one.
in in is respect tne prosecution seems
to have got the worst of it. Juror
Walter S. Brown is said to have stood
for the acquittal of M. D. Howell in
his trial for counterfeiting, his reason
ueiuK tuut ne uiu uub oeueve in con
victing on circumstantial evidence.
unaries t. jsathan, another accepted
juror, has a record in Sacramento for
objecting to the death penalty in cases
oi circumstantial evidence.
As the evidence against Durrant is
altogether circumstantial the dis
covery fills District Attorney Barnes
and Detective Captain Lees with
dismay.
In view of these matters it is said
that when 12 men shall have been
chosen as jurors the district attorney
may ask leave to challenge the two
jurors. The defendant's counsel will
probably object to this, but may con
sent to the dismissal of the entire jury.
This would clear the way for a renewal
of the motion for a change of venue.
Judge Murphy upon mature reflection
may find himself impelled to grant
this renewed motion if it is made. The
case seems to be almost hopelessly
mixed according to the opinions of
prominent attorneys.

For Contempt of Court.
San Francisco. Aug. 8. When
the Durrant trial was resumed this
morning the defendent swore to a Dile
oi amuavits. Then Attorney Dickin
son, for the defendant, Durrant, asked
the court to issue citations for the
editor and city editor of the Chronicle
and JLxammer, and J. P. Barrett, an
Exnminer reporter. Judge Murphy
agreed to their citation for contempt
of court in interviewing and publish
ing interviews' with Jurors Brown and
Nathan. Attorney Dickinson said he
would like further time to prepare
affidavits asking for citations for the
editors of Other papers who had vio
lated the judicial order in talking of
the case to jurors.. Nothing was said
of jurors for answering the reporter's
questions. Neither was Juror Brown
given an opportunity to make the
personal explanation which he said
yesterday he was-- prepared to make
regarding himself when the court
would hear him.

A LARGE CONTBACT.
Car
Sprague is manifesting a commenda
ble spirit in preparing to rebuild be
fore the ashes are cool from the recent
disastrous conflagration, and this ex
hibition of enterprise will commend
itself to capitalists in every part of
the country. The loss to The Dalles
by the fire of September, 1891, was
heavier on our citizens than the one
in Sprague on the people of that city,
oecause tne principal loser in the
latter was tne xvortnern Jfaclflc. a
wealthy corporation, which is able to
repair its damages, while in the former
the sufferers were entirely composed of
Dusiness men ana nouse owners. In
four years this city has overcome its
losses from flames and alt-o those of
the flood of last June, and today there
is not a more substantial point in the
northwest. We can extend to Sprague
our encouragement in its efforts to
repair its losses, and can assure the
citizens that pluck and perseverance
will soon replace it in the condition
where it was before the terrible visi
tation of last Saturday.
A Democratic convention in Missouri
has declared in faVbr of free silver,
and if this action is indorsed by the
Democracy of that state there may be
strange results in the election next
year. It goes without saying that the
Cleveland wiag of the party will not
endorse unlimited coinage, and there
are a large number of Cleveland Dem
ocrats in Missouri. The Gorman
faction in Maryland may make a
division of the Bourbons in that state.
and the indications are that the party
of free trade will enter the campaign
in 1896 in a very demoralized con
dition So far not a Republican con
vention that has met since the silver
craze became prevalent has bowed the
knee to white metal; but has stood
solidly and uncompromisingly on the
traditions of tne party, and in 1896
will have compact ranks on the money
question. The Democracy will be
napeiessiy and neipiessiy divided on
this and other national issues, and
unquestiodably 1896 will be a Republi
can year. A rousing victory tor the
party of protection in the next presi
dential campaign has been expected
for some time from the trend of the
recent state elections, and this has
stimulated business and industries of
all kinds in every part of the country
Vacation Tim
Is at hand and is gladly welcomed by
all, especially those whose duties in
life have caused them to greatly run
down their system to meet the require
ments, physical ana mental, loroea
upon them. With these and others, it
is important, whether at home, at the
seashore, or in the country, that some
thought be given to diet, and as
further assistance to nature, a good
building-up medicine like Hood's Sar
saparilla had best be resorted to. If
the digestion Is poor, liver deranged
and frequent headaches seem to be the
rule, Hood's will change all this and
enable everyone to return to their
home and business in a refreshed state
of mind and podily health.
American Shipbuilders to Construct

Detroit, Aug. 6. The Detroit Dry

Died of Alcoholism.
San Francisco, Aug. 7. A special
from Santa Monica says that James
Gordon, a grandson of the famous
English general, "Chinese Gordon,
died there last night of alcoholism.
Gordon was born in London in 1844,
and was the son of Captain Gordon, of
the British navy, who was a son of the
famous general, who, in 1877, was
killed by the Mahdi at Khartoum,
Africa Yong Gordon, who up to
about 12 years'ago was a clerk in the
Bank of England, separated from his
wife, owing, it is said, to his drinking.
and came to this country with about
$30,000, engaged in the paving business
with a wealthy Englishman in Sioux
Falls, S. D. They failed and Gordon
was penr-iless. He went to Santa
Monica nine years ago, and of late has
gained a livelihood by acting as a
porter in a saloon.

Minister Yang Yu.
Washington, Aug. 7. Minister
Yang Yu, of China, and his secreta
ries, Noo and; Chung, have returned to
Washington to take any action requis
ite in connection with the reported
massacres of the missionaries and the
destruction of American and English
missionary property in China. The
minister authorized the Associated
Press to express his profound regret at
tne reports. Thus far there is a mea
gerness of official information, and the
minister hopes later and fuller reports
win mouiry tne severity of the unom-
cials reports which has come., to the
press. He expresses the fullest con
fidence that the central government at
Peking will do all in its power to

merely the work of vegetarians, but
are said to be organized and carried
out by Chinese officials. The extent
of the damage is not yet known, but
foreigners are reported to have
escaped. Owing to the unsettled state
of the province, 200 Sikhs, reliable
British Indian troops from Hong Kong,
will escort the British consul from
Foo Chow to Ku Cheng, where the
consul will- conduct an inquiry into
the recent outrages."
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Pall Mall Gazette expresses the opinion
that further outrages are inevitable
unless Great Britain "takes swift and
deadly vengence."
Regarding the dispatch from Hong
Kong, cabled exclusively to the Asso
ciated Press last night, announcing
that the British and American missions
at Fot Chan, near Canton, were at
tacked yesterday by a large and infuri
ated mob, which demolished the
hospitals and caused some of the mis
sionaries to flee to Sha Mene, it is
stated the Wesleyan mission has one
of the most important medical missions
in China at Fot Chan, the hospital
and station being under the charge of
Dr. Wanyon, who has just arrived here
after a perilous overlmd journey, dur
ing which he was arrested in Armenia
as a spy. rne rest oi the mission stall
of the Wesleyan mission at Fot Chan

few years ago, upon which occasion a
missionary was killed.

Teasel Sunk.
Phu-adelpaia, Aug. 8. The British
ship fnnce Uscar, Irom .Liverpool,
Captain Henderson, collided in mid-
ocean, July 12, with an unknown sail
ing vessel. Both ships sank in less
than 10 minutes. Six members of the
crew of the Prince Oscar and all on
board the unknown vessel were lost.
The survivors, 17 in number, were
rescued by the ship Dharwar, after
beins- in an open boat with neither
food nor water for three days. They
were transferred to the steamer Capac,
from Pisaqua. and brought to this
port tonight.
'me mnct uscar was oouna irom
Shields, where she left May 9, for
Iquique. laden with coal, and was go
ing at a clipping gait, on the port
track, before a brisk wind, and all
canvas set. It is estimated by the
crew that she was making about 6i
knots an hour, when suddenly there
loomed un directly under her bows a
four-masted vessel. The mate asserts
that the stranger had no lights burn
ing, and alter sne was signteo, it was
impossible to alter the course of th4
Prince Oscar. The iron hull of the
latter struck the unknown ship full
amidships, knocking her almost on
her beam-ends, and crushing through
the woodwork until her prow was half
buried.- Tne stranger went over
at once on her beam-ends, as tne
Prince Oscar backed away from the
rebound.
