AX OPEX ADMISSIOX.
- This administration, which has run
the country 9300,000,000 in debt in less
than three years, makes a great fuss
over a conjectural excess oi revenues
- over expenditures for the current
month of $2,000,000. This is only the
second , month since the Democrats
. .came into power that has showed
- revenue excess. The first was last
June, when there was an apparent
: surplus of $4,000,000. - But the next
month showed a . deficiency much
larger, and the apparent surplus is be'
lieved to. have "been a trick of book
keeping, by whicn bills of June were
carried over to July. It is not fmprob
able that the apparent surplus for
September is the result of a similar
trick, since it is admitted already that
October will show a very large deficit.
It is a matter of course that there can
be no real surplus till the whole fiscal
policy of the' government shall be
: changed.- Oregonian.'
So! - Well what does that prove, ex
cept that when this administration
came in, under the much lauded Me
.run ley bill tnere was not revenue
enough raised to run the government.
This administration came in in March
1893, while the McKioley bill was in
force, and that bill was the law until
about one- year ago, or for eightee:
months after President Cleveland took
his. seat! Now the Oregonian says
that in the whole time not a singl
month did the revenues raised under
the McKinley bill meet the running
- expenses of the government, but it
adds that for at least two of the months
since the Wilson bill became a law.
. there has been a surplus. The Me
Kinley law-was a pretty good "tariff
for deficit." Under it during the last
' "two years of President Harrison's ad
ministration the surplus decreased
from $153,000,000 per year to $9,000,000,
and the last-six months of that. admin'
istration there was a deficit, caused by
the McKinley tariff, and this tariff for
deficit only, unfortunately had to be
continued for a year and a half under
. the present administration. " The Wil
son bill will produce revenue enough
when the expenses of the government
are:' reduced to the normal. The
change in the pension laws, adding
100,000 new names to the pension list.
-required about $40,000,000 a year for
the past two. years, to pay the back
' pensions "and this will not be a perma
nent isharge. The Wilson bill is all
. right, give it a-chance. "
HUNTlXaTOXS AWFUL SLIP
It is with deep pain that we note the
inexcusable moral lapse of which Mr.
C. P. Huntington was guilty when
questioned about the alleged intention
of the Southern Pacific to cripple the
. Central Pacific by reducing its through
train service. ' Mr. . Huntington said
- "damn." He said the story was
damned lie." . Those were his very
- words.. They did not slip out inad
vertently, either, for he expressly re
quested that they - should be tele
graphed across the continent in just
that form.
' l We are grieved to see a man who
. . has so long set a shining example to
the youth of our land marring his
. noble -reeord by conduct which in
: Boston would be punishable even now
by fine and imprisonment. Mr. Hun
tington has been a pattern of most of
the Puritan virtues. He has been in-
dustrious, thrifty and patient. He has
worked long hours and has never
quarreled with his pay. He has never
struck for higher wages and has cared
for the money of his employers as if it
' were his own which, indeed, it has
usually , become in due time. His
heart has-overflowed in charity to the
poor heathen of Africa and no needy
- congressman or member of a state leg'
islature has ever appealed to his sym
pathies in vain. He has given a water
fall ' to Golden Gate Park and
.toboggan slide to the Republican party
of California. Bnt now all the moral
fruits of a lifetime of pious industry
are threatened. When the prattling
infant . asks, "mamma, who is that
noble-looking old gentleman with the
white beard and benevolent eye?"
The blushing mother will respond:
"Hush, my child; look the other .way
t.Yiftf-. fa r.fiA man urhn aalil 'damn!''
We trust tnat Mr. Huntington may
yet repent and reform before it is
everlastingly too late. San Francisco
Examiner.
TEE INCOME TAX.
In all the Democratic conventions
that have met this fall, the question of
the income tax has . not been raised.
Of course the reason for it is plain, and
that reason is the action of the supreme
court of the United "Stutes which " de
cided the law - unconstitutional'. ' It
will be remembered that this decision
was made by a bare majority of one
vote, and that .vote had been in the
first trial of the - ease in which the
decision was reached, in favor of the
'constitutionality ...of ' the ' law." We
think the Democratic conventions
have been guilty of a serious . over
eight in not taking some action con
cerning tht5' tax. If, as the supreme
court asserts, the collecting of an in
come tax is unconstitutional, then the
constitution should be changed. It is
the most just tax that was ever levied,
because it makes our people pay tax in
proportion to their ability to pay it.
It is a question that will have to be
settled sooner or later, and the sooner
the better. "' - v

to tne casual observer it would ap
pear that there is now enough wheat
stowed in the two large warehouses in
tnis city to supply Hungry numan-

still there is plenty more in the

the market looks up a little the quan

Saturday! Daily.
Mrs. iirlggs millinery store pre
sented a lively and beautiful scene this
afternoon, one that will be more lively
and more beautiful tonight, the occa
sion being the regular opening of her
fall styles. The rooms were hand
somely decorated with palms and ami-
lax and magnificent bouquets of roses,
lilies and heliotrope. Our reporter,
with that appreciation for beauty that
is his most distinguishing characteris
tic, tried to pass by the door, but
couldn't. There were too many pretty
things to permit; for there were pretty
bonnets, pretty flowers, pretty rib
bons, pretty colors and pretty girls, to
which pretty aggregation he added
himself as a contrast. Had there been
fewer girls he might have a better
recollection of the bonnets, but all he
remembers is that they were things of
beauty and a delight to the eye. They
were shades and shades, red and red-
red, (that's the kind we didn't have)
blue and blue-blue and "huzza," which
is a regular hurrah blue the color
and shade a fellow has on dunning
day and there were "shapes" of every
imaginable Bhape from the center-
board sloop to the schooner-rigged fin
back, and there were spinnakers and
out-riggers of birds, flowers, foliage
and ribbons. The little lady who took
us in tow held a dream in huzza dain
tily upon one extended forefinger, and
a poem in white with a bird on it on
the other, and asked us if they were
not pretty? We knew she wouldn't
drop either of these hats for anything,
but there were so many other pretty
girls around that we couldn't take ad
vantage of the situation.

Not Meloncholly.
The watermelon is a great leveler of
social distinctions. We are all of us
prone to be more or less particular
about whom we invite to sit at our
table, or to join in our picnics, but
when a big butcher knife slips through
the green striped rind of a big fat
melon that is so anxious to disclose
the red lusciousness within that it
fairly bursts in front of the welcome
blade, societies distinctions vanish,
and the high born, the rich, the proud,
the gay, become the veriest children of
nature and muzzle on ta the red slices
of sweetness along with the common
plebeian herd. There is something
about the big chunks of pink joyous
ness that for the time being makes
mankind forget all else, while the
business before the meeting is-being
attended to. We saw an exemplifica
tion of this yesterday near Crossen's.
Three gentlemen, had opened a big
melon and were sampling its flavor,
and two dusky damsels from Celilo
were assisting them. If you have any
curiosity as to whom they, the gen
tlemen were, inquire of I. J. Norman,
for be saw two of them.
AN OLD TIME FRIEND.
Reminds ns of a Ulrl, a Letter, and
a Dos;.
Mr. W. H. H. Carey, of Tillamook
couflty, arrived on the local yesterday
from Portland, being on his way to
Prineville to visit his brother, a long
time resident of that place. We had
not seen "Tip" for 14 years, but we
recognized him almost before his feet
touched the ground as he got off the
car. In years agone, Tip was county
commissioner of Douglas county Nev
ada, Genoa being the county seat.
We were putting in our time then in
and about Genoa, most of said time
being utilized in sowing a large sized
crop of wild oats that being somewhat
delayed, we were in a hurry to get in
before the frost of old age caught us,
At the same time we were paying
pretty close attention to a charming
little damsel, named well call her
Johnson, a blue eyed bewitching and
jolly a bit of femininity as ever swished
a starched skirt in the sagebrush
state. At the time we thought we
loved her more in a minute than
sixteen mule team could pull, and we
have always thought she felt that way
toward us, for the time being, at least
eight mule-power worth, if she could
have only remained serious long
enough to admit it. Her paternal par
ent was not a imrty to that kind of
sentiment, in fact suggested to us, in
language that was better fitted to the
race track than the Sunday school
that our presence around his domicile
was appreciated more, the less there
was of it. However that didn't cut
much figure in Nevada, and things
were running along harmoniously
until one night, a fire broke out in
the office occupied by the county clerk
in the court house. The fire was got
ten under control after some $1500
damage bad been done, but that fire was
the beginning of the coldness between
the young lady and ourself. - A few days
after it, a bright, beautiful Sunday
morning, we were around with our
buggy team bent on taking the object
of our affections for a drive up the
valley, arrangements having been pre
viously made by which the fact would
be prevented from coming to the
knowledge of Johnson Senior. As we
were about to start, Sheriff Williams
handed us a letter, asking us to deliver
it to "Tip" Carey, the county commis
sioner, whose place we would pass.
and at the same time telling us, it was
a notice that the insurance adjuster
would be on,hand next morning, and,
notifying him to be present. We got
to "Tips" all right with the girl and
the letter, but seeing no one around
we gave the lines to her while we got
out to deliver the letter. A knock at
the door failed to receive recognition,
except from a big mongrel dog, one
part mongrel and nine parts bull, who
came sniffing at our legs, but said
nothing. The doors were locked, but
we were determined to deliver that
letter. .We lifted a window an inch or
two, the dog making some slight ob
jections, and pushed the letter through.
As it dropped irom our nngers, we
noticed it fell behind a trunk setting
in front of the window. That wouldn't
do, so we pried the window up far
enough to let us squeeze our head and
shoulders through and reach the
letter. Just as our fingers clutched it
the dog fearing we couldn't get out,
muzzled onto the seat of our Sunday
pants and began to pull. The girl be
gan to laugh, and while our hair was
standing on end, and we were hustling
out of that we could hear her silvery
laughter, mingled we fancied with
some slight encouragement to the dog.
We compromised with the dog when
we got our form out of the window,
presenting him with so much of our
pants as he had taken possession of.
And how that girl laughed. Under
other, circumstanoes we might have
turned our back on her, but we re
frained. And then on the way home
we stopped for a moment at her re
quest, at a friends, where a dozen or so
young people had gathered. They in
sisted on our getting out and so did
that girl but we refused. We got home
all right but things never run just the
same after that, and a few. months later
her father sent her east where she
married and the last we heard of her
she was raising an interesting family,
which at that time numbered seven.
Tip Carey was the cause of it all, but
when we saw him yesterday the old
bitterness had all disappeared, and we
were as glad to see him as though he
owed us six bits.
THE ARABIAN NIGHT9.
The Dalles Enjoys One of Them, and De
mands he Other 1O0O.
There was a large and expectant
audience in the Baldwin opera house
Friday night when the curtain went up
for the "Arabian Nights." Every seat
was occupied and standing room was
like votive candles in a mining campy
remarkably scarce. Those who have
heretofore seen our Home Dramatic
Club expected a treat, but that they
did not expeet such a treat as they got
was evident from the smiling faces and
the frequent applause. The plot was a
very prettily and fantastically woven
one, full of surprises and humorous
situations, and the two hours that it
took to present it passed like a man
with a nine-spot high.
The parts were all well taken, so
well that it would be impossible to
make particular mention of anyone.
without saying practically : the same
thing of everyone. Perhaps the most
"fetching" thing waa in the fainting
scene, when one after the other the
ladies keeled over, but always with the
right man at hand to catch them. The
last one to fall though brought down
the house as well as herself, for the
wretched Hummingtop, in a fit of ab-sent-minedness,
barely checked the
force of her fall but let her slip to the
floor. An encore followed, and was
responded to by the whole family
party, the ladies having fully recov
ered.
The Club earned fresh laurelR, and
it was the unanimous verdict that no
better play and no better players have
appeared here in years. Only ten days
were given for ' the rehearsal of the
play but it ran as smoothly as though
the club had been " playing it for
months. The Home Dramatic Club
can rest assured that whenever it sees
fit to present anything in The Dalles,
that the whole town will be there to
see, and, wa might add, they cannot
give us something else too soon.
TWICE ARRESTED.
These) Friends rail- Oat, and In, and On '
' Again.
Dr. Rothermel was arrested Friday
at Troutdale, and brought here for
trial on a charge of larceny by bailee.
the complaint being made by a man
named Marshbanks. The prosecuting
witness and the doctor lived together
sometime at Hood River, and, in fact,
as we are informed, came to Hood
River from San Francisco together,
Marshbanks being sick and the doctor
taking care of him. Sometime since
Marshbanks received two checks of
the value of about $285. These checks
the doctor cashed on the authority of
Marshbanks and it seems spent the
money. About a month or six weeks
ago, Marshbanks swore out a com
plaint against the doctor at Hood
River before Justice Soesbe, and he
was arrested here and taken to Hood
River for trial. Then Marshbanks
and he got together and talked the
situation over. The result was that
Marshbanks filed an affidavit, declar
ing he had given the doctor authority
to collect the money, and that the in
jury to him had been satisfied. On
this showing the case was dismissed,
the doctor paying the costs. It seems
from a review of the whole matter that
the doctor had promised to pay over
any balance found due him, there be

when he received some money from
Germany that he was expecting, but
which has not yet come to hand.
Marshbanks has evidently got tired of
waiting for his money, and being urged
on, perhaps by others, has commenced
this action. lion. E. B. Dufur has
been retained to defend him.

Caused by Jealousy.
The shooting of Mrs. Lottie Hiatt at
ordan proves to be the work of . a
woman named Hannah, who lives near
there. She was arrested last evening.
Mrs. Hannah believed her husband
was unduly intimate with the matt
woman, and disguised herself as a man,
entered the house of Mrs. Hiatt the
evening before and shot her twice,
both shots taking effect in the head.
It is thought ahe cannot live. Part of
Mrs. Hannah's disguise, a false mus
tache and a pair of spectacles were left
in the room where the shooting oc
curred, which led to her arrest. She
was examined Saturday before a jus
tice in Scio and bound over to appear
before the grand jury. She is the
mother of four children.
The Fair at Hood River.
We have had considerable to say
concerning both The Dalles and Hood
River fairs, yet at the risk of becom
ing tiresome we again urge a general
attendance at both these fairs. The
same principles apply to both, and the
Interest of the county demand that
both Bhould be well attended and en
couraged. The fair at Hood River be
gins Friday and . closes Saturday.
Special rates have been given by the
Regulator of 50 cents for the round
trip, on either day. The weather is
beautiful, and Hood River, always
beautiful, is just now at its best, and a
day spent there will be one long to be
remembered.
Took the Medicine.
The S. B. Medicine Company of Du
fur got a strong testimonial Monday
from 8Ji unexpected source. Their
traveling agent, Mr. P. T. Knowles,
was held up near Roseburg, and be
sides $16 in coin a lot of the medicine
was taken. Some patent medicines
acheive notoriety through advertising,
but few indeed be the nostrums that
take such a grip on public sentiment
that people go out with a gun and hold
the proprietor up in order to get them.
The dispatches are silent as to what
particular medicine the thieves."took,"
but as it is all good it doesn't matter.
An Inspection Tour.

to Baker City where they will examine
Co. F, and to Joseph and .Co. I. At
the latter place Col. Thompson will

THE DISTRICT FAIR.
If Ton Have Mot. Already Done Something
For It, Do It at Once.
One week from tomorrow the fair
will commence. What have you done
towards making it a success? If you
have .done nothing, why have you?
There is nothing of so great import
ance to the agricultural community as
a local fair. It is a thing of good or
evil, just as the people and more par
ticularly the farmers see fit to make it.
It is an opportunity provided for dis
playing the products of the country,
so that the world may see and judge
them. If an interest is taken in the
matter and a good display of fine farm
products is made it is a great adver
tisement for the country. If on the
other hand no one takes an interest in
it, and the displays consist of a few
Articles carelessly selected it were far
better that none at all be shown, and
that the fairs be discontinued for left
handed advertisements are not needed.
Thrifty, industrious people are quick
to note thrift and industry in others,
and equally quick to notice slipshod
methods and poor results. That kind
of people are not apt to settle and
make their homes among the indolent
and unenterprising, yet that is the
kind of people we want. Take an in
terest in the fair, and make it what it
can be made, an exhibit of such fruit
and vegetables as few countries can
boast, and prepare to do it at once.
A SWEET MESS.
Little Workers Laden With Stolen
Goods.
Whether dumb beasts1 can justly be
rated as such is an open question but
one long disputed. All have notes of
warning, calls, or some-means of com
munication, but among the insects
this means of communication though
evidently noiseless is very perfect.
Wednesday a vagrant bee from some
hive in the city found its way into
Crossen's store and, there discovered
a box of honey, open, delicious tempt
ing. In a minute or two he had as
much honey loaded into his hold as
he could have gathered in two hours,
presenting his bill to the flowers, and
collecting in the usual way. As soon
as loaded ne leit, and in a minute or
two was home and telliug the balance
of the hive what a soft snap he had
found. In half an hour, every bee
from the hive was engaged in robbing
Crossen, openly and shamelessly. The
bold little thieves got into trouble
though, for they would try to go out
through the big window instead of the
door, ' and of course got hung up,
There they wandered around, laden
with stolen sweets but still unhappy
The front windows of the store looked
like a bee hive, and attracted quite a
crowd, interested in the strange scene.
GENERAL MEWS.
Boiled Down From the Dispatches and
. Swiped From the Exchanges.
Air. Huntington tne railway mag
nate of California, says "Mr Curtis is
a very valuable man. He is our stat
istician."
The grand jury in the District of
Columbia before adjourning the other
day recommended the establishing
of a whipping post.
Last week the- thermometers were
up in the 90s in Pennsylvania but
yesterday the same section had a snow
storm.
A report reached New York yester
day that 2500 Cubans had been whipped
by the Spanish . troops, 120 being
killed. , .
Secretary Hubert will go to Alabama
tomorrow, to deliver speeches on the
financial question.
The Texas legislature has been con
vened for the purpose of passing laws
preventing prize fighting. Since the
above, Fitzsimmons and Corbett have
both gone into active training.
The attendance at the state fair is
said to be below the average and the
reason therefore is further said to be
the 0 cent rates of admission.
BLOOMERS FROSTBITTEN.
The Portland Telegram Gives a Powerful
Reason For Their Wane.
Now that the cycling season is about
closed it is safe to venture a prediction
that the bloomers will not bloom with
renewed luxuriance next summer.
They have already exhibited unmis
takable symptoms of wilting, and their
inevitable collapse will be caused by
theii own ugliness. They might sur
vive denunciation by doctors on the
score oi health, by ministers on the
score of modesty, by actors and para-
graphers on the point of innovation,
but they cannot make a stand on the
question of beauty, and that is the
secret of their decadence. Woman
cannot be either coaxed or forced to
wear an garment that does not be
come her, regardless of its .claims of
utility, and it cannot be denied that
bloomers accentuate the physical de
fects of their wearer. They make a
well-shaped woman appear ordinary,
and the woman of imperfect contour
they transform into a fright. Any
costume which makes the shoulders
appear narrower, the waist smaller,
the hips broader and the height less
can never attain a permanent place in
the feminine wardrobe.
. Work For the New Woman.
According to the Walla Walla Union
that city is reaching far into the future
for its amusements. It will have on
exhibition soon several buxom speci
mens of the new woman, working at
what will probably be her new employ
ment. We will bet the sum and sub
stance of an entire nickel that sooqe
lazy old married man . suggested the
contest described below. The Union
says: "Next Saturday there will be
fun galore and galorum at the opera
house. Twenty-seven pieces of silver
ware will be given as a prize to the
lady who can saw a 2x4. scantling the
quickest with a buck saw, on the stage.
Four competitors are already in the
field willing to saw wood and say noth
ing. Tney will all wear overalls on
this occasion and there will be fun for
the millions."
.1 Rnmor Only.
A rumor was in circulation Tuesday
tnat Rev. O. D. Taylor had been ac
quitted on all charges against him,
but the most diligent search failed to
find anything on which the rumor was
based. It may have blown up on the
west wind, or it may have originated
in the fertile imagination ot someone
who had nothing else to think about.
The story grew to adult proportions in
a little while, and by night, not only
had he been acquitted, but had com
menced an action in damages against
the parties who had him arrested, and
had even collected a large sum of
money therefor, and was on bis road
home with it.
