aJ, open- bites. . .
The hope ot Eastern Oregon ha at
, last been realized. The great locks at
the Casoades of the Columbia are com
Dieted, and from this point we hare an
open river to the sea. , The commerce
"ot the world can now reach us. The
. Dalles Is the bead of navigation on the
Columbia river, bence must take prece.
. dence over all other points east of the
Cascade mountains in commercial im-
porta nee until further improvements
are made so that boats can pass around
the Colello falls. This we trust will
be speedily accomplished, so that all
.sections to the east may use this great
waterway to convey their products
' even from the Rocky mountains to the
. Pacific .ocean. . Nature gave this great
waterway to the people, and all that Is
needed that it may be utilized is that
we Improve or- nature, or rather re-
..move the obstrnctions that nature has
put in the way of man's use of nature's
. implements for navigation. For this
grand consummation we can only de
pend upon the generosity of future
congresses for appropriations that will
remove the obstructions that now
-exist to prevent steamboats floating
' .from the headwaters of the Columbia
, to the Pacific ocean. But .to return to
The Dalles. What are her prospects
since she has virtually been made a
'seaport? From now on 'she will have
terminal rates over all transportation
Inesv . She will get the same freight
rates that are extended .to Astoria,
Portland and the . cities on Pu?et
Sound. ' Freight from the remotest
parts of the world will be hauled to or
away from The - Dalles at the same
rates it Is to and from those cities.
That is, wheat, wool and fruit will
command the same price here they do
in those" places, and all imported mer
chandise will be as cheap here as they
are at any place on the Pacific coast,
with terminal rates in all directions:
The Dalles will at once change from a
local distribution point, to a general
distribution point for the entire Inland
Empire. ' Wholesale houses will 'be
established in The Dalles, for the job
ber -can' supply the retailers of the
Interior just as cheap here as they can
from Portland, and to the latter will
be saved the Item of transportation
between Portland and this point.
With the advent of wholesale houses
here will' come manufacturing Indus
tiies, for where trade is stimulated in
one line it will be encouraged In an
other. The opening up of new iudus
tries calls others to centralize at a
given point, and a place so favorably
cated naturally as this is, cannot
go forward and realize the hopes
e most sanguine citizen who
ed forward for years to the
bstructions to the naviga
'olumbia would be re-
would be - made the
ing and manu-
rthwest. An
uch to The
. For a time we expect to see manu
factures running on the prospect of
better times, but this will be only
temporary, for unless the manufactures
can sell their products they cannot
continue manufacturing; then
they will be forced to shut down, and
from that date, depression will set in.
Gradually times a ill get worse; one by
one macfactures will shut down; labor
er.s trill be thrown out of employment;
the farming classes will fail to receivo
Just compensation for their products,
and thus the great fountainhead ot
prosperity being crippled, all others
must suffer.
Indeed we cannot look into the
future and see any bright stars of hope.
The election of Bryan might have
caused an immediate panic, but it
would have been only temporary; so.
soon as he would have been inaugur
ated he would have convened congress,
and remedial legislation would have
been passed.' -,-.
Mr. McKinley's election, however,
will "restore the confidence" of money
lenders for'a brief period, but it can
not be lasting. "Cleveland will indeed
be fortunate if he is not forced. to issue
more bonds before his term shall ex
pire,' and many hundred millions will
have to bo issued before Mr. Mc
Kinley's occupancy of the presidency
sl-all end.
The people have voted for the return
of prosperity promised in case of Mc
Kinley's success, and we sincerely hope
It will come, but judging the future by
the past, we cannot but feel that the
promised prosperity will not be real
ized. Financially the United Stabs
are on the verge of their gloomiest
period.

. The vanquished In. the recent
national campaign certainly can find
some consolation in the result of the
election, for while they have been over
whelmingly defeated, light begins to
dawn upon them where party lines
will be drawn in the future. In this
campaign two great parties have ben
created. The old democratic and re
publican parties have virtually been
annihiliated, and a new party of the
people, and one of the favored classes
have come into existence, under what
ever banner they will rally in' the
future, this is the way they will be
designated.
In- this campaign the classes, the
corporations, the trusts, the syndicates
have arrayed themselvas on the one
side, while the producers have gener- j
ally been found on the other. . The ;
classes have predominated over tho
masses, and for the coming four years
will have charge of the government.
- In the n suit the masses, though de
feated, can find consolation. In times
past the democratic party has been re
cognized as the ( arty of the common
people, though it has of late years been
predominated over by the rich men of
a few of .-the Eastern states. When
those who have been loaders found the
people had taken the management of
the party c ut of their hands, they de
serted the old party, and either,
sought Vj establish a new party or
went to the support of the opposition.
Hence the lines have been most closely
drawn, and in. the future thos9 who
style themselves "national democrats"
will Qnd no place except in the ranks
of the ' republican party, while the
Bryan democrats, populists and what
are termed silver republicans will
unite in a gfacd and powerful party
under the leadership and name of a
party that will be composed of the
masses.
If nothing more than this has oren
accomplished,- those who supported
Bryan in the recent campaign hare
the consolation of knowing that they
ve fought for a justcausc.and though
d, they have assisted in the for-;
'arty that must eventually
is government. Then
9couraged. Their
les they es-

Wo have been ' promised a renewal
of prosperity whenever McKinley
should be elected. We trust these
promises yill bo fulfilled.
' The 'silver craze" bag not died with
defeat.' The campaign of 1C00 bep-an
with the closing of the polles Tunsday
nijht. and will be carried into every
precinct of the United States with re
newed vigor. Silver must and will be
restored.
Telegraphic election returns are so
Incomplete so far that it Is .as yet
impossible to give the majorities re
ceived by either of the presidential
candidates In any of tho states, nor
Is It possible to form a correct esti
mate of how the next senate and
house will be divided politically.
Today William Jennings Bryan is a
fallen hero, though he stands high
in the estimation of the American
people. 'U bile tho principles he ad
vocated were not accepted by a ma
jority of the voters, he goes down to
defeat as one of the greatest of Amer
ican statesman, with a clear record
and an unsullied name.
Of late there has been but little
news from the war in Cuba, but It Is
reasonable to suppose that the Cuban
patriots were not idle. The latest re
port now is that the Cubans have
crossed the Spanish line and are with
in sight of Havana, which City will be
besieged and probably captured within
the next sixty days, when the war will
be a triumph for the insurgents.
The election hurly-burly is now
over, and people can once more settle
down to business For nearly fix
months every section cf the country
has been agog, stirred to the very corJ
by partisan agitation, all kinds of
business has been neglected, but now
that it is over let the vanquished ac
cept tho inevitable, and bepin working
once more for the betterment of them
selves and their neighbors.
Senator Mitchell, Governor Lord and
other state officials found it convenient
to attend the banquet given by Day
Bros, at Cascade Locks, but all excused
themselves and were "awful sorry"
because they could not attend the cele
bration In The Dalles. From their
conduct we are to suppose the two
government contractors are of greater
importance in their bye than are the
10,000 people who celebrated the open
ing of the locks in The Dalles. So
far as we are concerned, those gentle
men, when they want office in the fu
ture can look to the two contractors. j

"Well, you people in this 6tore are

about you, too." With that she rushed
out and slammed the screen door. Tho

the clerk said that was only an example
of what took place every day. "Why,"
He said, "a woman came in to lhe

THE FIRST DRUMMER.
EnRUiTi Quakers Seem to nave Keen the
" Iroscnltors of tho Kaon.
The rapid development of the com'
mcrcial traveler system specifically be-
lois to our own days, but as to the
cri jin there is some difference of opin
ion. One authority lays it down that
tue bagman oi to-day the "drummer,'
la American phraseology is tho im
mediate descendant of the old chap
man, or peddler, or hawker. As these
personages were known even In the
time of Chaucer in this case the mod
ern commercial can boast, a very re
spectable ancestry.
Another antiquarian, however, in the
Bookseller has another theory to pro
pose. For this ho brmgs the poet
Southcy cs a witness. It is that the
commercial travelers of to-day really
date back to the Quakers of one hun
dred or one hundred and fifty years
since. These .persons, it is well known,
were forced to wander throughout the
country by persecution and ill treat
ment. They were then, as they nro to
day, mostly good, honest men of busl
ncss, and with tho true commercial in
stinct they seem to have made a virtue
of necessity, and during their wander
ings to have made acquaintances as far
as possible with the country trades
men, to whom they often sold goods,
watcu.es, "cambiets, and otner ar
ticles. They seemed to have pushed
their trade so vigorously that they ob
tained heavy orders, so much so that
"the tradesmen in London stood idle,
as one of ti.e Quakers said, "while we
filled our coffers."
One Thomas Greene, a Quaker
preacher and only a laboring man. died
worth some thousands of pounds made
in this fashion. The speculation is both
curious and interesting, however the
matter may be decided.
BANK OF ENGLAND FORGERIES.
But
FORETOLD NAPOLEON'S FALL.
Dlaeovaxy ot Old Mantwcrlpta Written by
DanJab Astrologer Centuries Ago.
Some old manuscripts have just been
discovered in San Francisco of wonder
ful importance. These manuscripts
are the production of one Peter Han--sen,
a noted Danish astrologer, who
lived through the end of the sixteenth
and beginning of the seventeenth cen
turies. He was a contemporary and
correspondent of Johann Kepler, the
great German ' astronomer, Basil and
other learned men of that time. Be
was also a nephew and pupil of the
celebrated Danish astronomer, Tycho
Brahe, and lived in Copenhagen in the
years 1594 to 1613 The discovered
Hansen manuscripts are in possession
of a descendant, Olaf Linnbcrg, who,
however, knew nothing of their nature,
although believing them of great im
portance. Mr. Christian Andersen, an
accomplished Danish scholar, has ex
amined these old papers and found
wonders in them
Part of these manuscripts are of the
greatest importance "to the American
people at the present time. - But flret it -
Thar Are Almost Unknown Sow,
Were I orcuerly Frequent.
There are very few forgeries now,
but one hundred years ago they were
rife. The first recorded instance of
the forgery of a Bank of England note
has a singular touch of romance about
It, says the Strand Magazine. The
forger was a linen draper at Stafford,
named Vaughon, who, in the year 1753,
employed several workmen to engrave
different parts of a twenty pound ster
ling note, and when a dozen had been
printed off he deposited them with a
young lady to whom he was engaged
to be married as a proof of his wealth;
but the imposition was discovered, and
Vaughan was hanged.
One of the cleverest Imitations of a
bank note was the work of a poor
schoolmaster, who forged an entire
note With pen and ink, and, sad to say,
was hrnged. John Mathieson, who
was convicted for forging the water
mark, offered to show the directors
how it was dose if he were pardoned,
but they would not withdraw the pros
ecution. Singularly enough, forgeries
first began to be frequent soon after
the . introduction of the one pound
sterling note, and in April, 1802, Mr.
Addlngton told the house of commons
that the forgeries had increased so
alarmingly that seventy extra clerks
were required at the bank merely to
detect them. -

SHRILLER THAN A FOGHORN.
Bow the Twisting of a Pig's Tall Saved a
Coasting: Schooner Irom Disaster.
A coasting schooner was becalmed in
a fog off Cutler somewhere, says the
San Francisco Argonaut. It was n gen
uine Lay of Fundy fog, of the same va
riety that the man inadvertently nailed
an extra course on to while shingling
his house. Yen couldn't see the end of
the bowsprit from the foremast, and a
man up aloft might have been ten miles
from earth for ay that he could see. Not
a breath of wind was stirring and the
sails only slatted lazily as the vessel
rolled on the swell. The skipper was
anxious, for he was right in the track
of the ocean steamers, ono of which
was just about due. He commanded
the lookout to keep the tin horn sound
ing vigorously. Alas, the man care
lessly laid the horn down on the rail
for a moment and it rolled overboard.
The delinquent was treated to a liberal
dose of profanity, bat of what use was
that? Presently the whistle of a
steamer was heard through the fog and
the noise of the paddles as they tore
up the water. She was evidently bear
ing right down upon them. Skipper
and crew shouted till their lunjrs were
sore, beat on pans from the galley,
but to no purpose. Every Instant they
expected to be sunk by the on-rushing
steamer. Suddenly the skipper's eye
fell upon a lusty young pig, who was
beinjr transported in a temporary pen.
In a trice that porker was out, a pow
erful sailor gripped his tail with a pan:
of pincers and gave a twist with the
energy horn of despair. Heavens!
what a squeal rent the atmosphere.
"Keep it up! Keep it up!" yelled the
skipper, as he danced up and down
with excitement. The blasts of the
steamer's whistle redoubled . in fre
quency and her machinery stopped. In
a few moments her outlines emerged
from the mist right over the schooner.
Half the crew and passengers were on
the forward deck; The captain leaned
over the rail and shouted: "You blank
dashed son of a dash blanked lubber,
what in dash blank, blank to dash and
return are you trying to do? . I'm
blanked if I didn't think I was going
ashore right into the middle of a dashed
pig yard."
SHORTHAND IN OLD TIMES.
The Greek, tbe Romans and the English
of Queen Bess' Time Hid It.
The art of "brachy graphic," or short
hand, as we call it now, is by no means
a modern invention, says the New
York Post. Even the Greeks and Bo
mans had their system of abbreviating
language, using it to take down
public speeches. - By the time of the
renaissance the art had grown to con
siderable proportions. England has
always cast a more favorable eye on
the system than any other country,
and in the days of Queen Bess stenog
raphers were plentiful.
They were not, however, contented
with reporting merely speeches and
sermons, but copied down the dramas
of the time and always got credit for
their theft, owing to the miserable
copyright laws. It is not surprising
then that John Webster should make
Sanitella in the court-room scene of the
"Devil's Law Case," exclaim:
To you hear, oncers.
You must tal: special oare taat you let In
No braohygrapliia men." :
Surely the circumstances must have
befcn exasperating to those sturdy old
dramatists if such lines as the following
of Thomas Hey wood in the prologue of
"Queen Elizabeth" are true. He says
fcne play
'Did tbronj too seats, the boxes and tbe stage.
make it absolutely certain that Brvan ! k much that somo by stenography Crew
s pioi, put it in print, scarce one word true. "
The mangled condition cf manyi of
has carried tho state by probably 20,
0C0 plurality, and that the democrats
have elected six congressmen, all for
silver.

my own littlo jokes when"tno time
comes, and so wo row along through
the dinner, I working my passago and
my hostess smiling approval on mo.
"Oh, no, it's not a bit damaging to
my vanity. I simply know It's so, and
accept it cheerfully. I can't danco for
shuuks, so I'm of no earthly uso at a
danco. If I wcro a good dancer I'd
probably come In for all that, too. My
strong point is a dinner, and eo I'm
wanted there, and not at a dance. It
doscsn't wound my vanity a bit. I en
joy tho dinner. Having a lot of pretty
women around the table, and listening
to them, and talking to them ia lots
more fun than sitting nlono in a club,
with only u lot of ghoXliko waiters to
amuse you. It's a perfectly fair
bargain. I talk and I am , sweet-
tempered for my ferriage, and I get on
tho ferry a good tunncr and enjoyable
surroundings. That s all there is to It,
and as for the honor of tho thins and
all that, there's no moro honor in my
being invited to dine out every even
ing than there would bo in going out
toCddlo for a party ct tho regular
price I talk and get rcy dinner and
pleasant company. Tho other man
gets his five or ton dollars, or whatever
ihe price i, and Cddlcs.
