.. A PECVLIAB BESULT.
' " The Oregonian is hugging itself over
the result of the recent republican
primaries in Portland, claiming that
it was a victory for the taxpayers in
downing the Frank-Hume-Minto com
bine; but there , is something un
explainable in the vain-glory which
- the great .daily is taking to itself.
It states that the Simon element repre-
- . sented the taxpayers and the better
element of the republican party in
Portland, and at the same time "an
nounces that not five per cent of the
respectable republicans of the city
were allowed a voice in the primaries;
, but according to its report of the
" - Drimarimaries. in every ward ex
cept the third, in which there
was a contest of any magnitude,
the' Simon delegates were elected,
How then was it possible, if only five
per cent of the respectable element
were allowed to vote, that any of them
. ; were elected, unless they formed a com
bination with the hoboes? If 95 per
cent of those who voted at the primary
were refl-raff, and were under the in-
l fluence of the Frank-Hume- Minto ele
.,' ment, the judges, who were nothing
: less than tools for Simon, must, have
' resorted to some very peculiar methods
in order to bring the Simon delegates
out ahead.
"We admit that we are not well versed
- in the mysteries of Portland politics,
else we might understand how this re
. suit were possible, if all the statements
of the Oregonian are true; hence it is
. that we conclude that the Simon ele-
: ment In Portland must be slightly
.; smirched from having trained with the
i thugs and toughs of that city. If it
' was perfectly pure, and had the support
- i of only the better class, it would cer
tainly have been snowed under out of
"Sight at the-primaries where 95 per
cent of the vote was cast by disrepu
. table characters. The only conclusion
- we can arrive at is that the immac-
- ulatt. Joseph, whom the .Oregonian
i would point as the embodiment of all
v that is pure in politics, allowed him-
. self imposed upon, or possibly may
-: have laid aside his keen sense of honor
on that day, and associated with th
- - cut-throats and outlaws on to carry,
7 the primaries. At all events, he suc-
ceeded in electing his delegates, and
since 95 out of every 100 who voted
were toughs, some of the disreputable
characters must have been on his side.
DOJVT OVERLOOK KLICKITAT
' While The Dalles is awakening to
the necessity of building good roads
leading into the interior to the ' south,
with a view of affording our southern
neighbors an opportunity to reach this
place with their products, the Klicki-
tat county should not be overlooked.
That section produces annually nearly
one million bushels of wheat, very
; nearly all of which would come to The
' Dalles were there a good road over
v which it could be hauled. Under pres-
ent existing circumstances the bulk of
. the Klickitat wheat goes to Grants,
the road to that place being better
than to The Dalles. However, if a
- practical road were constructed across
the mountain and over the sand
-. from Rockland ' to the ' foot r of
: the mountain, the low freight rates to
- be had hero would be an inducement
' to the Klickitat farmers to bring their
- wheat to this place.
It is estimated that the road across
the mountains and two miles of an ele
vated plank road over the sand can be
built for from $2500 to $3000. Can The
. Dalles afford to expend that amount in
' order to secure the trade which the
handling of one million bushels of
wheat annually - will bring? We be
lieve it can. One million bushels of
' wheat represents the product of no less
; than 500 farms. Every farmer who
brings his wheat to this market will
' naturally buy his supplies here, for the
. reason he can get them at lower prices
' than at any other point in the interior.
' The marketing of 1,000,000 bushels of
wheat at say 40 cents per bnshel means
' an expenditure of $400,000, and it is
v safe to say that one-half that amount
' will be expended by the farmers for
' supplies in the ' place where they
market their grain. Hence if The
. Dalles can,. by the expenditure bf a few
thousand dollars on roads, secure an
' Increased trade of $200,000 annually,
it has made a good investment.

, ticket for president this year will be
. elected. ' But the more conservative
' ones in the party are beginning to
realize that the election of any candi-
- date on any kind of a platform is not
- fully assured. The present congress
' is doing nothing to strengthen the re
publican party. Despite the efforts of
' Reed to bold the majority in the house
.in check, and steer them in a direction
that would-further his chances of
' nomination and election, that body is
not building op a record on which he
or his party tan bank during the
coming campaign. ' In fact it
' has created a record only for incom
' potency to legislate on questions of
any moment, and for flagrant extrava
' gance, two things for which the party
will be called to account for. Even
McKinley on whom the republicans
have looked as the Moses who was to
lead them to victory, has no recom
mendation vexcept his extreme tariff
views, as he remains quiet on the fi
nancial question, one of the issues that
must necessarily be considered in the
next election. Before the convening
of the present congress, possibly any
man whom the republicans might have
.nominated would have been elected,
but during the past four month things
haye materially changed., Hence it is
that many of the leading republicans
are becoming convinced that this is
not a "yellow-dog" year, one in which
a nomination means an election.
None more fully realizes this situation
than Chauncy Depew, who is one of
most level-headed politicians of the
present day. In a recent interview he
threw out the following, which is sig
nificant: "New York is still a pivotal state;

HOPE ABA N DOS ED.
Mr. Luce, who ures the state dairy
men to supplicate congress on behalf
of an anti-filled cheese law, evidently
labors under a misaprehension. . Con
gress is not passing laws this session
for the benefit of the people. If the
dairymen will go out in a body and en
deavor to whistle down the wind, they
may accomplish something; but ap
pealing to the 54th congress for useful
legislation would be, in comparison a
work of superogation. Oregonian.
Thus it is, item by item, the republi
can press is forced to acknowledge
the congress for which they promised
so much, is a complete failure, a body
that "is not passing laws for the bene
fit of the people." Prior to the elec
tions of 1895, the 53d congress was de
nounced in severest terms, both for
what it bad done and wbat it neglected
to do, and it was promised that if the
republicans got a majority in that body,
all wrongs would be righted. But the
54th congress has now been in. sessiou
four months, and nothing has been
done, except to pass a lot o( appropria
tion bills and some resolutions de
nouncing the acts of a few public offi
cials. And the press of the party in
the majority announces that hope of
needed legislation must be abandoned.
The facts are that congress is com'
posed of an aggregation of politicians,
whose interests are not identified with
those of the people whom they repres
ent. Their prime . object,' so soon as
they take the oath of office, to lay
plans for re-election, and their greed for
personal gain is so great that all else
but their individual and partisan in
terests is lost sight of. Instead of being
broad-minded statesmen, they are sel
fish politicians, and the question upper
most in their minds at all times is
"how will my vote affect my candidacy
before the people of my state or dis
trict?" With such men composing the
national legislatures it is little won
der they become an unwieldy body,
and that the peoples' interests are
abandoned.
THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES
The two political parties have now
placed before the voters of Wasco
county their respective nominees, and
it now rests with the electors to choose
between the two whom shall serve
them in official capacity the ensuing
two years. Without question the
democratic ticket is composed of re
presentative men, men who are com
petent, honest and worthy not only of
th confidence imposed in them by the
party, but are worthy of the support
of all honest voters.
By the resolutions adopted in the
convention, the nominees are pledged,
if elected, to practice strict economy.
and are held m strict accountability for
tneir omciai cus, wuicu iuo panji
pledges iteelf to be accountable for.
Some if not all of the candidates on
the democratic ticket will be elected.
and it is assured, if they are, they will
fulfill every promise made for them
by their party. The TIMES-MOUN-TADJEEB
desires at ail times to see the
best and most competent men elected
to all official positions, regardless of
party, in order that the people may be
well served and that the money of
taxpayers shall not be wasted; and it
is with pride it presents to the voters
of Wasco county the nominees of the
democratic party, believing that the
interests of the county and the people
will be well served if public affairs are
entrusted to them. Believing every
one named on the ticket is competent
and honest, we present them to the
voters of Wasco county and request
that on the first Monday in June they
ratify the nominations made yester
day. The democratic central committee
wish the voters of Wasco county to
understand that every word of their
"home platform," as published yester
day means just what itsays,and if any o
our candidates are elected we will hold
them to strictaccountability. We will
see that they make the showing of
their business, and in this we are will
ing to be held to just as strict account
ability, as a party, hereafter. Here is
our home platform :
Resolved. That the county officers
nominated by this convention shall
pledge themselves, if elected, to use
all its endeavors for a clean, conserva
tive and economical administration,
and that they will report to the courty
central committee, as soon as possible
after taking said offices, a statement
of the cost of said offices for the past
two years, and when called upon by
the said county central committee,
they will furnish a statement qf the
affairs of said offices, as conducted by
them respectively, and the saving
that has been made during their term
of office and any recommendations
made by the central committee, look
ing toward economy, will receive
proper consideration.
BILLION-DOLLAR CONGRESS
And so this is to be another Billion-
Dollar Congress after all! Chairman
Cannon admits that the appropriations
for this session will "not fall below
$506,000,000," and that "the public
service for two years cannot be pro
vided for at less than a billion dollars."
. Thus fails Speaker Reed's plan . of
making a record for economy as a help
to his presidential boom. He is feel
ing now, as the democrats did in the
last congress, tSe disadvantage and
the evil effects of the "continuing ap
propriations" which the fifty-first
congress made under his lead to
eat up the surplus and prevent the
democrats from reducing tariff taxa
tion. It was smart politics then to
boast that "this is a billion-dollar
country" and to set a new high-water
mark of extra vigance in appropria
tions. It is something very different
now, when Speaker Reed needs reputa
tion as a careful, conservative.
economical statesman to promote his
ambition to be president.
Mr. Reed will appreciate better
than -ever before the truth of the prov
erb about the things that "come home
to roost."
The taxpayers' league of Portland
have acted wisely in selecting a ticket
in advance of the regularly-organized
political parties. By getting into the
field thus early there can be no ground
for stigmatizing their action as a "sore
head" move, and they cau go before
the people as the friends of the tax
ayera and opposed to the corruption
of ring rule. .

YOl 1IEA VEl HO-THE DALLES
And now that the party nominations
are made and before the political Blit
fairly warms up there comes a period
of comparative quiet, giving change
for the surplus energies of our people
to strike out into new fields for awhile,
so how would it do to make more pulls
for the Gate City of the Columbia river,

Good roads, grades and bridges are
now in process of construction, but we
need more of them, and better: a tele

the need of the line toGoldendale now

it will be shortly, or we mistake the
present temper of our people, this
last will but show the necessity for a
net work of electric inter-communication
between this city and all of the
smaller towns within a radius of two
hundred miles, east of the Cascade
mountains.
By next spring there will be at least
one wholesale house in each of the
leading lines, established here. Sev
eral of of our progessive merchants
are already feeling the way in this
direction and unless they would see
the field occupied by more progressive
new-comers, others must follow suit
very soon." The nucleus of wholesale
stocks are now taking form in our
warehouses, that only lack the sign

business in the air, many of our stay-at-homes
do not realize it, but it is
readily appreciated and talked about
by people who . have, traveled lately
over the northwest, outsiders, a well
as oar own people; and it is an electric
snap too very different from that of
the stored up volts and emms saved from
the unlit city lamps these dark nights,
to help the moon sl.ine, no doubt,
when it next gets foil, this is, however
the one exception to the rule of pro

it is doing it, and don't you.forget it.

gone too, by another rotlte: but that
subtle elecric electric snap was left.

a little oil we are going to. leave some
of our more pretentious sister towns
unless they get a move on 'em. That
energy born in '91 seemed slow of

Special Message Looked For From Clevc

Washington, April 7. Secretary
Olney, called early at the White house
and remained in c'osh consultation
with the president for a long time. It
is believed the two were engaged in
the preparation of a special message to
congress, relating: to Cuoa and the ex
pression of the actual state of affairs
on the island as revealed in the re
ports of the United States consular
officers and from other trusted sources
of information.
There is a resolution before the pres
ident, passed at the instance of 'Sena
tor Hoar, calling for this information.
It is re-isoned that the president in
transmitting the information, may
feel it his duty, in view of the over
whelming majority by which the Cu
ban concurrent resolutions passed both
branches of congress, to make a state
ment showing that, regardless of the
sympathy he may feel personally for
the insurgents, he is obsolutely bound
by the facts as he sees them, by pre

tional law, to persist in tiis present at
titude.
1IGHTING 18 RESUMED.
Trace Between ' i-aragaan Forces
. Ended.
New York, April 7. A special .to
the Herald from Panama says: j
After a truce of 15 days, during
which all attempts to arrange terms of
peace between President Zelaya", of
Nicaragua, and the leaders of the re- i
bellion, have been futile, another bat
tle has been fought between the gov
ernment forces and the revolutionists
at La Ceciba.
The Herald's correspondent at Man
agua telegraphs thai, the number of
men engaged at La Ceciba, which is
five leagues from the capital of Nicar
agua, was about 500 on each side. The
action lasted eight hours, and the de
tails received are so meager that it is
impossible to ascertain on which side
victory rested.
The prisoners and deserters who
have reached the capital declare the
insurgent situation is desperate. The
government is preparing for a general
attack, and Zelaya's plan, it is reported,
is to concentrate all the troops that
were operating in the northern prov
inces around Momotombo. then make
a general assault on the enemy's posi
tion at La Paz. Meantime, he will

Visited by Begnlators.
Louisville, Ky., April 7. It has
just been learned - that regulators
visited the house of Mrs. Nancy Blair
near Stockholm, Edmonson county,
Saturday night, and. gave her and her
daughter, Mrs. Dugger, a terrible
whipping. Trey: ordered thein to
leave the community, and the mob
then tore down the bouse. . The
women went to the house of Seth
Davis but the regulators notfied Davis
that his house would be torn down if
he harbored then. The cause of the
raid was the alleged action of George
W. Haggin in leaving his family in
destitute circumstances and residing
with Mrs. Dugger. The ' mob
declared tbey would hang Haggin if
found, but. he escaped.
Fnll Confession.
VISALIA, Cal., pr. 7.-John Haines,
the Salvation Army member of Lov-
ern s gang or traioroDDers, has made
a full confession to. District Attorney
Howard, in the presence uf the j lil of
ficials. His statement is reduced to
writing, but the officers refuse to give
particulars. It is known that this corro
borates Britt's story and forges a
Chain to convict Lovern and Ardell,
but to what extent others are impli
cated is not known. Haines claims
that when he saw. the deadly weapon9
to be used, the horror of work contem
plated was too much for him and he'
backed out. Other extremely damag
ing evidence has recently been ob
tained by the officers.
Lovern and Ardell will have a pre
liminary examination Thursday next.
Bis; Bids For Anaconda Mines.
Btjtte Mont,, April 7. it is rumored
on wbat seems to be good authority,
that Hamilton Smith, the mining ex
pert, representing the Rothchilds,
upon whose report foreign capitalists
recently purcbassd a'tbird ' interest in
the Vast Anaconda mining properties
on a b sis of 330,00J.OJO is again on bis
way to Butte to make a further exami
nation of the properties, wirh a view to
matting an ouer ui mv,juj,wut lor tue
remaining three-fourths interest.' The
Anaconda officials refused to discuss
the report, but in mining circles i is
doubted that the-properties are for
sale, or that tbey can be purchased for
that figure. . --
D1SASTEK EXPECTED. .
Apprehension at Cairo for the Donsola
Expedition. -
Cairo, April 8. Ii cannot be denied
that there lists in Cairo a strong ap
prehension that disaster will soon
overtake the head of the Dongola ex
pedition. Merchants here, who have
business relations with the Soudanese,
report that they have information of a
great rising and rallying of ihe dervi- ;
.-b.es. They confirm the report th;t j
the green Hag is up and a holy war de
clared. Their opinion is that 50,000
men will soon be ready to intercejit
the march of the AnjfIE.'yptain
army, if the plan of pushing beyond
Akasheh is persisted in. General
Kitchener is known to be yearning for
freshmilitary glory. Aggressive and
sjlf-willed, it is feared he will fall into
fie error recently commit ed by Gen
eral Baratieri, in Abyssinia. He is
c ireftilly fortifying- as he advances, and
i:i the event of an ordinary reverse he
m ly be able to hold -out until English
succor arrives.
An Amer ican srentlemnn just down
from Wady Haifa says that he met
several thousand Egyptuin recruits" go
ing forward, hundreds of which wtie
moaning and sobbing like bereaved
children. No dependence can be
placed on these men. The preliminary
skirmishing so far hap given some con
fiJence to the Egyptuin troops.
ine policy of ine boudanese is evi
dently to draw the invading armv as
far from its base this summer as iossi
ble so that when the main assault is
delivered retreat for it will mean
slaughter.
Many well-informeJ people here ex
press The belief that the fate of Hicks
Pasha awaits the Sirda's column. The
dervishes are better armed and better
prepared to fight than when they
checked Lord Wolseley's advance.
The English, as a rule, pooh-pooh the
idea of defeat, but they are all ex
tremely anxious. It is feared that the
irouoies m niataneleiand may .em
barrass the English government and
weaken the support of the Dongola ex
pedition, which must soon be. forth
coming. The dervishes are very active
in the rear of the Egyptain column,
and great difficulty is experienced al
ready in keeping up telegraphic com
munication. TURKISH OFFICIALS EXPLAIN.
Knnpp la Merely a "finem" of 'he Tall of
IMarbekir.
Constantinople, April 7, via Sofia,
Bulgaria, April 8. The publicity
given the case of George P. Knapp by
the Associated Press has caused con
siderable excitement in official circles,
and explanations are now to be had
first- hand.
The Turkish minister of foreign af
fairs, Tewfik Pasha, this evening vol
untarily declared that while it was
true that Knapp is detained at Diar
bekir. the missionary is well treated
as a "guest" at the residence of the
vail of Diarbekir. It is not denied
that it was intended to expel Knapp
from Asiatic Turkey. He riay be
brought here for trial in the presence
of a representative of the United States.
It is hoped the attention drawn to
th" expulsion of Christian missionaries
and agents of the Red Cross Society
from Asiatic Turkey may prevent the
carrying out of tbis plan, which, it is
said, - originated with a power very
friendly at present to Turkey, and had
for its ultimate object the substi ution
for the expelled missionaries of the
emissaries of another church.

FOLK TIMES la FOUK I AYS.
The Forces of macro Defeat the Span
iards. Chicago, April ft. A dispatch to
tho Tribune from Key West says:
Four times within the last four da 8
the Spanish forces have I een defeated
by the insurgent, under IMaceo, in
Pinar del Rio, according to advices
just received from Havana, but not one
word has been allowed to go out in re
gard to these engagements by thr
Spanish authorities. The most im
portant conflict occurred yesterda
near Man:tja, on the strong line.
Macco's advunce, 2000 strong, at
tacked the Spanish column near tht
place. The Spaniards were routed, ac
cording to reports, with a loss of 500
killed and wounded. Prior to this en
counter there were engagements with
Maceo's main army west of the strong
line, in which the Spaniards got the
worst of it. It is said in Havana the
Spanish loss in four engagements was
over 1500 killed and wounded, al
though the government suppressed all
information about the battles.
The number of wounded men arriv
ing in Havana proves the truth of the
rumors. One train from the wtst
yesterday brought in 400 men.
Maceo's army is still west of the
trocha, but there are mat y insurgents
in Havana province. Gomez is still in
!anta Clara province, moving toward
Siguana valley. Monday his army en
tered San Juan de las Veras. The
Spanish garrison fled to the forts; and
Gomez secured many arms and quan
tities of ammunition.
Tuesday night the insurgents again
raided Hoyos Colorado, a town 15 miles
west of Havana. Ihe troops fled to
the forts. After the insurgents re
tired, the Spaniards came out of the
forts, and, seeing a crowd in the square,
opened fire, killing four women and
two children, and wounding others.
The Spaniards say they thought that
they were tiring on the insurgents.
FIGIITINU FOR CUBA.
Kumbers of Yonng Ame'lcans In the
In-
surgen t Armr.
Philadelphia, April 9 Informa
tion received here concerning Ser
geant William H. Cox and several of
his comrades, of battery A, Pennsyl-.
vania National Guards, goes to prove
that there is an element of truth in
the rumors that young Americans are
fighting for Cuban liberty The pres
ence or vv. 1). Osgood, the fullback
of the university of Pennsylvania
football team, in Cuba fighting for the
Cubans, also tends to give weight to
what at first appeared as chaff.
That such rumors in many instances
are true is proved by a story the de '
tails of which are vouched for, though
names of those engaged cannot be
given out. This is nothing more nor
less than that a regularly organized
and equipped military bicycle corps is
now engaged in drilling and other
works preparatory to embarking for
Cuba. About 150 members Are en
rolled. Officers have been elected, and
the baggage and munitions of war are
now being secured. They are all
Phtladeipl.ians.
SITUATION IN CHILE.
Views of a Possible Future President.
NEW YORK. Aptil 9. A Herald dis
patch from Valparaiso says:
Frederick Errazeriz, presidential
candidate of the coalition convention,
in replying to a dispatch informing
him of bis nomination,' said that the
difficulties of tbe economic situation in
the country were exceptional. Sources
of production were seriously endan
gered, and business was piralyzed. It
was very difficult to put into effect
commercial transactions of any kind.
The government, he thought, should
aid private enterprises with public
funds to lighten the situation.
Senor Errazeria said that rumors of
internal complications were unfounded.
There were treaties in force for the
pacific solution of all difficulties, and
arbitration was always possible. He
would, he said, realize, if he could, all
the hopes of the liberal party in the
republic.
An American Engineer.
Cape Town, April 9. Gardner
Williams, an American engineer, who
is manager of the De Beers mines, is
among the members of tbe reform
committee committed for trial at the
next session of tbe high court at
Pretoria, on tbe charge of high
treason, in participating in" tbe
uprising at Johannesburg.
