AN VIDENCE OF UNREST.
Laborers throughout the land, es
peclally those working in Eastern
mines and factories, have just causo
for complaint at the nouarrival of the
good times promised them last fall, so
soon air the result of the-, election
hnuld he made known, and no one
can blame them for registering a vig
orous kick whenever they are thrown
out of employment or have their wages
reduced." But such displays of temper
as were shown in Pennsylvania the
other day by 300 employes of the Air
Brakes who Works were discharged, is
hardly excusable.'
," The pictures of President McKinley
were torn down and trampled under
foofcbv the discharged laborers, .who
by the way were among the excursion'
lsts who virited Canton last October
' and shouted themselves hoarse cheer-
lng.for the gold standard and the for-
runner of prosperity. In their demon-
strations in Pennsylvania last week,
when' thev received their notice of
dismissal because of , the dull times,
their became enraged, declaring that
the promised prosperity "had not ma
: Serialized," and that they "had been
fooled again." One man, who had put
up some banners as relics of the cam
paign, started a stampede for their re
moval. 1 He said, pointing to one ban
ner, "this is a, fake." and pulled it
down. - A picture of prosperity was re
moved next: It was a scene of Mc-
iQnley pulling back a curtain and
showing a mill in full operation. On
the other side was a scene of foreign
countries bringing their silver , to the
United States mints. The picture was
the result of President McKinley's
declaration that it would be better to
open the mills than the mints- of the
.United States.
.Such demonstrations as this do no
material good, but rather bring
the laborers into disrepute, never
theless it is an. evidence of unrest
and disappointment that will grow
in to greater magnitude if the promised
changes do not materialize. What
.the outcome will eventually be no one
- can foretell. Laboring men were prom
ised more employment and an increase
-of wages with a cha age of tbe admin-
" istration, and had a right to expect it,
But when those promises are not ful
, filled, though on the contrary, they
are either deprived of employment or
are forced to submit to a decrease of
. wages, they become desperate. Every
', man is entitled to an - opportunity to
earn a living, and when deprived of
this, he has no patience with those
whom he believes are responsible for
his misfortunes.

Victoria's reign has been a remark-
' able loner one for modern times. As a
Africa not only do not attain a very
. great age, but their reigns are compar-
. atlvely hort. Victoria's record of
-sixty years is longer than that of any
of England's rulers, although George
' III came very near to , reaching sixty
years. At the present day only one of
' the European rulers anoroaches any
where near to Queen Victoria in length
oi reign. DTancis J osepn, emperor oi
- Austria, ascended the throne in 1848
when he was eighteen years of age.
He has consequently reigned forty-
nine jreara and is today sixty-seven
years of age.
' Christian IX, King of Denmark, was
.." born' in .1818,' just one year lacking a

reigned a comparatively, short time,
- having ascended the thrown in 1863 at
the age of forty-five years. These two
are the only rulers in Europe wbo
have attained a great age and have also
. ruled for many years. There are sev
eral priqees, who are older than Vic-
-. . toria, but as a rule they have not been
at the head of their small ' kingdoms
for a few years. . The emperor of Ger

as they were all well along in years
when thev become rulers.
TTTV. JPTTTTTR1B OV- HAWAII.
' Those who oppose the annexation of
Hawaii should state their positiou def-
. initely; It will no longer serve the
purpose to speak vaguely on the sub
ject. All 'who think that the little
republic in the Pacific should be left
to shift for itself should say so; and
those who favor some kind of protec
torate by this country should define it,
infl rfW1ar how far we' should be
willing to go to defend it. - In the past
we have saved the islands from the
dominion of England and of France,
Our interposition meant war II our
protest bad been disregarded. Twice
within the past five years Hawaii has
offered to annex itself to the United
.States. A: change of administration
' four years ago defeated the movement
at that time. The second offer is bo
fore tbe senate in the form of a treaty
that will complete the annexation if
that body approves it. There are some
who favor its rejection, and as the
affirmative side have stated precisely
what they propose, their opponents
should announce their views with ex
actness. Foggy ideas of control with
out ownership will not answer. The
time has come to act, for or against,
and to drop uncertain generalities.
One imminent danger in Hawaii is
Qft lbS pvpuiOMUU uioj ura-uiuQ tuuu-
goliaaized. Too many Chinese and
Japanese immigrants have already set
tled there. According to the Hawai
ian census of the present year the Jap

More than half the male population is

overwhelmed by the superfluous mil
lions of China and Japan, and its status
as an independent power completely
changed.
It is this dancer, together with tbe
greatly augmented strength of Japan
as a warlike power, that gives urgency
to the question of annexation at this
time. The United States legislates
with the presumption that it has tbe
right, for its own welfare, to pas9 re
strictive or prohibitive immigration
law9. International law presents no
obstacle to this course. ' But Japan
has challenged it in the case of Hawaii.
Japan this year is spending $180,000,-
000 on her army and navy, or about
three times the amount appropriated
for the same purpose by the United
States. Hawaii naturally looks with
apprenension on the rise of a new
power in the Pacific, and is justified in
seeking to merge her sovereignty in
some nation strong enough to give as-
I surance of safety, peace and prosperity,
I She will escape from a Mongolian fu-
ture if she can, &dH ber second offer of
annexation to the United States will
probably be the last. If we . "do not
want her there are other nations that
do, and it is farcical to talk of control

final notice upon her that annexation

THAT VAUNTED PROSPERITY
Some of the trade journals and not
a few partisan papers are endeavoring
to brace up business by repeated as
sertions that times are Improving, but
stern facts do not bear them out in
their statements, nor do even some of
the most faithful supporters of the ''ad
vance agent" lend their testimony to
the improvement of business. Mr.
Wanamaker says the outlook is not
propitious, and ex-Senator John, G.
Ingalls, of. . Kansas, after" having
traveled almost all over the United
States finds little evidence of the re
turn of prosperity. He was in Wash
ington the other day and submitted to
an interview by an Eyening Star Re
porter, and here Is what he said:
"Since the election in November, I
have been in all parts of the country,
from San Francisco to. Boston, from
Montreal to Atlanta, and it is the In
current testimony that times have
never been harder nor money scarcer
than now. Every branch of industry
languishes. Rents, incomes, interests
and profits haye dwindled. Prices of
land, farm products and general com
modities have sunk lower and lower,
till in many localities the most valu
able improved farms in rich regions
are absolutely unsalable. - Nature has
been very beneficient, beryests abund
ant. r There has been the early and
the later rain, the Mississippi valley is
burdened with cribbed corn, crop pros
pects were never better, skilled and
crude labor are plenty, tbe equipment
of machinery is unrivaled. We have
all the conditions for good times but
they linger. Possibly they are comln g
but they are not here. Many will not
be able to wait much longer for their
arrival. Multitudes have already fal
len from affluence to need, ' and many
other multitudes have sunk from com
fort to penury and want of daily
bread."
Touching the effect of this condition
upon the political future of the coun
try and of parties, Mr. Ingalls said:
"The people are patient, they are ra
tional. They don't expect miracles!
but they are tired of adversity. They
are not looking for the miraculous
draught of these fishes and of change
of water into wine, but they want to
see credit and business raised from the
dead. They would like to have idle
men, who are willing to work, earning
wages. It does not console them to be
told that there is a surplus of money
in banks to loan at small iaterest,
They don't want to borrow money, but
to sell corn. ' The man who mortgaged
his farm would like to have it sell for
enough at least to pay the debt.
THE BEST COUNTRY ON EARTH
Before, the O. R. &. N. Co.'s lines
were absorbed by the U. P. it was one
of .the best paying railroad properties
in the United States, and since it has
been relieved from the dead weight of
that octopus, it has again taken its
rightful place among the best money
earners of the country. Thia is not
wholly because the road is exception
ally good, or on account of the manage
ment and care that has been given it
by Major McNeill, although his man'
agement has been faultless, but be
cause of the resources of the country
in which it operates, and this fact
speaks volumns for Eastern Oregon
and Washington, the section tributary
to the O. R. & N. During these de
pressing times, when other transporta
tion companies operating in supposed
prosperous localities have been losing
money, or at least not making more
than operating expenses, the O. R. &
N. has Oeen able to get out of control
of the courts, and has placed itself on a
paying basis. This accomplishment is
on account of the richness of tbe
country in which .the company
operates, and Is indeed a good adver
tisement for the country. - -
j.nat a great transportation com
pany should be able to make such a
showing as the O. R. & N. can at this
time, should be convincing evidence
that this la today the most favored
locality on earth, and should encourage
homehunters to look toward Eastern
Oregon and Washington when search
ing for locations.
The reports of the company for the
month of May and the eleven months
ending May 31, are as follows: Gross
earnings for May, $3"9,C88.20; eleven
months ending May 31, $4,272,818.32;
expenses, $240,300.56; eleven months
ending May 31, $2,502,955.81; net earn
ings for May, $139,227.64; for eleven
months ending May 31, $1,769,862.51.
Increase of net earnings oyer the same
period f' 1890, $62,760.17; 11 months,
$l,105,ai3.83. The foregoing figures
cover rail and water lines and show a
remarkable increase in total net earn
ings' for nine months ending March 31
in which the total net earnings were
given as $1,534,387.33, making total net
earnings for the months'of April and
May, $235,475.18. r
The administration has at last de
vised a plan for solving the Behring
sea question. It is to have all the seal
pups on Pribylov island branded this
year so as to destroy tbe value of the
skins. ' A commission will be sent to
Alaska to perform the work, and the
little seals will have a big U. S. burned
in their bides just like Eastern Oregon
bronchos. The scheme is a novel one,
but will no doubt be effectual.
According to Mr. Boise and the
Oregonian the "silver craze" is dead
in Ohio and in fact throughout the
nation, but the Ohio democrats don't
think so, and have determined that
silver shall be made an issue in that
IT IS A LACK OF MONEY.
More than half a year has elapsed
since the locks at Cascades were com
pleted, and that dream of The Dalles,
which was expected would bring thrift
and prosperity, was realized; but none
of the hopes of those wbo had looked
forward in their imagination ex Dec t
ing to see this grow into a great man
ufacturing city, have been realized.
Scarcely a beneficial result from this
vast improvement an open river to
the sea that cost the government
millions of dollars, is noticeable. True,
we have competitive freight rates, and
in this respect are somewhat benefitted,
but not a single new industry has been
established or newenterprise launched
since this advantage was gained. The
factories we hoped to see erected have
Sot materialized, the new ex tor prises
we looked forward to are not even in
their incipiency. No new trade has
been secured , from abroad. This,
though, is not tbe fault of those repre
senting the mercantile business or
other enterprises of the city, for they
have offered most liberal inducements
to invite foreign trade. While we
have probably lost none of the trade
heretofore enjoyed, we have secured
nothing new from the advantages
which an open river was supposed
would give us.
There must be reasons for this lack
of expected benefits, and it devolves
upon us to discover the cause. Had
such advantages been attainable
twenty years' ago, when money was
seeking investment in favored locali
ties, dozens of new enterprises would
have sprung into existance within half
a year; hence does not the cause lie in
the fact that money is more valuable
for loaning than for investment in
manufacturing or like Industries?
Money is gradually increasing in yalue;
tnat is, its purchasing power is con
tinually . growing greater, and the
owner thereof is aseured that the in
terest accruing from the use of money
loaned today will purchase more of the
ordinary products of labor a year hence
than now. On the other hand, he
sees the value of real estate, buildings
and manufacturing plants decreasing,
Therefore, so long as he can loan bis
money on good security at present
rates of interest, he will not seek other
investments. How then, can this be
remedied? Would not the adoption of
a system that would result in making
toe value or money less certain ac
complish the desired end? If the
owner of money knows that a year or
ten years hence his money will be less
valuable than it Is today, that Its
purchasing power will fluctuate or de
preciate, instead of loaning or hoard
ing, he will invest in property that is
appreciating.
In casting about for investments he
would select places favorably located
like The Dalles, and would soon set
the wheels of enterprise in motion
Instead of being a droan, living off tbe
earnings of others, he would become
an employer of men and a producer of
wealth. His enterprise would, supply
a market for the products of the farm,
and would thus enable those engaged
in agricultural pursuits to become
greater' consumers. We believe the
prime reason why The Dalles has not
derived anticipated benefits "from the
opening of the locks lies in the fact
that money is too scarce, or rather is
too valuable for loaning, and that our
lope of seing this become a manufact
uring center will not .be realized un
til mere is a change in tbe money
system.
CORBETT AND THE SENATE
The report of Senator Hoar in the
case of Hon. H. W. Corbitt, has been
printed for the use of the committee
on privileges and elections, but it is so
weak that it will haruly have the ef
fect of convincing the senate that Mr,
Corbett is entitled to a seat in that
body. About the only point made in
the report Is that Mr. Hoar thinks the
governor of Oregon "was entitled to
make the appointment and that Mr,
Corbett is entitled to his seat." In sub
stantiation of this position the report
says:
"It is clear, whatever may have been
the nature of the organization of the
legislature, that it had been dispersed
and bad come to an end before March
1, 1897, when the vacancy in the office
of senator, by limit of the term to
which Mr. Mitchell had been chosen,
and which be had held for six years,
occurred. Any choice or appointment
made after that time must be a choice
or appointment for less than six years.
It is well settled, by a practice
which bae existed from the formation
of the government, that the vacancies
so occurring after the beginning of a
constitutional term may be filled by
the legislature. If that be true, they
may be filled by the executive of state
during the recess of the legislature.
Tbe legislature Is only authorized by
the constitution to fill such vacancies
as might be filled by the executive by
temporary appointment until the next
meeting of the legislature.
"So, if the executive has no power,
the legislature has no power. The
executive may lawfully make a tem
porary appointment, and the legisla
ture fill that vacancy - when it assem
bles, or the office must remain vacant
for the rest of the six years."
Sumed up, this ' means that if the
governor cannot appoint a senator a
special session of legislature could not
elect, hence in order that every state
shall have its full representation in
the upper bouse of congress, the ap
pointment by a governor must be rec
ognized. This position will hardly be
accepted by the senate, for senators,
although willing to get Into the sen
ate on almost any pretext, are not
ready to establish the precedent that
the seating of Mr. Corbett would set.
Whon a vote is taken on the report
next December it is very probable Mr.
Corbett would will be returned to his
bank at Portland.
TRUE AS PREACHING.
The statement of the London
National Review as to the prospective
representations of the monetary com
missioners . recently appointed by
President McKinley, and England's
reply thereto, is vague and indefinite.
No prospect is held out (hat Greajt
Britain will offer to adopt a joint stand
ard. Germany is with England. France
will never go it alone in Europe with '
a double standard, or even with the
United States, for she would thereby
put her ownsystem in peril of loss as
compared with Germany, which would
hold to tbe gold standard. England
will treat tour silver theorists with
great consideration, but she will relax
her hold on the gold, standard not a
whit. Oregonian. .
There is more truth than poetry in
this statement. Itls not to tbe interest
of any of those powers, or rather to
the Interest of those who dictate the
policies of those powers, to adopt a
double standard of money, and what is
not to their interest they will not
adopt. They are loaners of money,
not borrowers, therefore a dear money
Is of more benefit to them than a cheap
money. A money that appreciates in
yalue is more profitable to them than
a money that fluctuates or depreciates.
Besides their banking business, that
would be effected, by a double stand
ard, they are large purchasers of raw
.materials, and is to their in terest when
buying abroad to have a money that
will purchase ihe greatest amount of
the pioducts of labor.
For these reasons England, Germany
aud France will never consent to any
other than a gold standard until forced
to do bO by some other powerful nation
that it is a debtor and with which they
have extensive commercial relations.
International bimetalism is a myth, a
delusion, only brought into promin
ence for campaign purposes. It will
never be accomplished by the com
mission appointed by President Mc
Kinley, because it is not desired by
tbe nations to whom the commissioners
are applying. Bimetalism will never
result from a unison of action on the
part of the nations, but it can be ac
complished by the independent action
of any powerful nation whose com
merce reaches all over the world
adopting a double standard by opening
its mints to the unrestricted coinage
of tbe two metals, gold and silver.
Europe can be forced to a double
standard, but it can never be coaxed. -
CUBA'S DELIVERANCE IS NIGH
The Chicago News says that "Sena
tor Mason, fresh from Washington, de
clared on his arrival here, that Cuba
would be free within a few weeks at
most, emphasizing the declaration
with a vigorous thump upon the unof
fending table before him, and Murat
Halstead, in a well considered article
in the New York Herald, makes the
same prophecy, fixing the date of de
liverance before the close of the pres
ent rainy season." The News says
there are indications in the conduct of
the president that give color to these
declarations. It has been understood,
over since his inauguration, that the
president was anxious to serve as a
peacemaker in Cuba rather than as
the champion of the rebel cause, and
bis strong opposition to the passage of
the belligerency resolutions could not
be explained upon any other ground
than that he saw a better mode of
settlement of the war than for the
United States to involve itself in a
contest with a friendly power.

to the Times from Cheyenne, Wyo,
says:
William Jennings Bryan arrived
here un his Western tour at 7 o'clock
this morning. Men, women and chil
dren thronged the sidewalks leading
toward the spot. After breakfast
Bryan was introduced to the crowd
and made a speech. He said he did
not visit the West in tbe last cam
paign, as be was firmly convinced that
such action was not necessary. He
bad found that those states he had
failed to visit were tbe ones in which
the cause of silver triumphed, while
those in which he spoke wero carried
bv tbe enemy,
He said the cause of
Silver, in apparent defeat, was never

Columbus, O., June 30. The
democratic state convention here to
day wa? the most largely attended of
any since the civil war. The new
Columbus auditorium, with a seating
capacity of 6000, was not equal to tbe
demand for admission. Tho "audi
torium was beautifully dei-orated.
There was also a living white rooster
perched on the stage to add to the en
thusiasm. ' '"
The greatest demonstration of the
morning occurred when Sloane, in a
speech, referred to William Jennings
Bryan as the leader of the .silver cause
for 1900, and it was with this climax
that the speaker closed his-keynote
speech. ' -
Tbe committee on rules and order of
business referred . the question of
leaving one vacancy in the state ticket
to be filled by the state league of silver
republicans, back to ihe convention
without recommendation. A communi
cation was presented from the popu
list state committee also asking for a
place on the democratic ticket with a
view to fusion.
Hon. Ulrlc Sloane was Introduced as
temporary chairman.' A large gold
cross having as ornaments a crown of
thorns and a clock indicating 16 min
utes to 1 o'clock formed the center
piece among the floral designs about,
tbe stage. Chairman Sloane in a ges
ture pointed to it with great effect as
he proceeded with bis vigorous speech.
General A. J. Warner, as chairman
of the committee on resolutions, re
ported the platform, which was loudly
cheered and adopted. Warner ex
plained that the committee was unan
imous in presenting a majority report
that covered ably the financial ques
tion, but that two supplemental reso
lutions would be offered by the mi
nority L. C. Cole presented a Cuban resolu
tion that had been offered to the com
mittee last night, and it was adopted
as follows: "We demand immediate
recognition of the belligerent rights
of tbe republic of Cuba as an act of
justice to a nation struggling for lib
erty against foreign oppression, and
we denounce and protest against the
action of Senator Hanna in voting to
nullify the memorial presented to con
gress by the legislature of Ohio in
fayor of the Cuban patriots."
A REAB-KKD COLLISION.
Two Endeavor Special Sections Wrecked
Near Chicago.
Chicago, June 30. Three persons
were killed outright and about 20
'Others lujund in e roar end c
on the Chicago & North woe tern road
at . 1:45 this morning, 30 miles out of
Chicago. The dead are:
Mrs. R. Shipman, of Appleton, Wi?,
John Gooding.
An unknown tramp. . ..
The injured were all residents of
Wisconsin.-
The colliding trains were sections
No. 4 and 5 of the Christian Endeavors'
special, sent out in nine sections.
Section 5 ran into section 4 which left
Chicago 15 minutes ahead of it. Sec
tion 4 carried Wisconsin delegates,
nearly 500 strong, and ia tho roar
sleeper were people from Fond du Lao,
Green Bay, Appleton and other Wis
consin cities. The section bad come
to a stop just out of West Chicago,
where the Freeport line diverges from
the main line. Section 5 came up be
hind at great speed and the shock of
the collision was terrible. Passen
gers in the two rear sleepers of section
4 were in their berths and most of
them were asleep. They received no
warning, ana tnose not KUiea outrignt
awotce to fiad themselves jammed in
the wreckage.
Passengers on both trains began tbe
work of rescue. One of the first of the
injured taken out was Engineer Chas.
Courtney, of section No 5. He had
stuck to bis post and was seriously in
jured.
Men and women could be seen strug
gling to extricate themselves from the
wreckage. Others pinned down by
some crushing weight were crying for
help. He-e and there was AP arm or
leg protruding from tbe debris.
Troops in Demand.
New York, June 29. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Ha
vana says;
General Weyler will require at least
0,000 more troops to conquer the east
ern nrovluces and hold them for Spain.
coiei Garamendi, a member of Wey-
ler's general staff, and private secre
tary to tbe commander-in-chief, will
go to Madrid this week, tbe bearer of
confidential dispatches to Premier Can
ovas and the Spanish war department,
in which tbe demand is made for 00,000
additional recruits.
All regular troops that can be spared
from Pinar del Rio, the western
trocba, Havana, Matanzas ana Santa
Clara districts are being concentrated
at Sancti Spiritus, where Weyler has
directed tbe immediate organization
of 14 coloms, at the bead of which be
will try to drive Gomez across tbe new
trocha and invade Puerto Principe
province, where Calixto Garcia's forces
are now said to be masgiag.
Weyler expects a great pltchod bat
tle when he meets Garcia, the result of
which may be turntag tbe point in the
war. snouia vveyiers army meet
with defeat, Spain will then be ready
to listen to President McKinley's of
fers of intervention. If Spain wipe,
and , Garcia is routed, Weyler will as.
sumo a magnanimous role, proclaim
general amnesty and full personal and
political guarantees under tbe Spanish
flag. Should these overtures be re
fused, it is predicted that tbo war of
extermination, with all its horrors,
will be waged to the bitter end.

Welty and Horace L. Chapman showed
much strength today.
Previous to the district meetintg at
4:30 o'clock p. m., tbe fight against
R. T. Hough for governor became so
bitter that there was much talk of ex'
congressman Donovan to bead the
ticket. On all sides it was held that
no standard-bearer should be selected
who had any gold streak in his record
Those who favor McLean for senator
became involved in such bitter con
tests over the head of the state ticket
that it became doubtful whether the
McLean managers could control the
convention in the nomination for gov
ernor, which involved the support of
the state administration for McLean
in securing the senatorabip.
The McLean leaders held several
conferences during the day. ' Wnilo

friends of the other candidates, they
could not be induced to drop Hugh,

This Is the closing of the efforts at fu

New York, July 1. A special
the Herald from Washington says:
to
"The government's financial affairs
are in good ehape," said Secretary
Gage in an interview. "We have
come to the end of the fiscal year
with a good reserve behind us and
brighter hopes for the future. ' t feel
assured that by tbe time June 30, 1898
roils around the government's affairs
will be in better condition; while the
people of tbe country wul bave cause
for thankfulness that a new era of
prosperity has set in,
"With the end of the fiscal" year
1896, one year ago", continued" Mr.
Gage, "the gold reserve was only $102,
000,000, or just barely above the
theoretical reserve of 8100,000.000.
There was a fear that before the year
was over there might be very large
exports, compelling tbe administration
to again issue bonds for gold. Now
we not only bave a gold reserve of
$141,000,000, but there is not a cloud
in sight as to its continuance approxi
mately at that very comfortable level.
This is the most hopeful sign that I see
in the present condition of the govern
ment finances, for when the country
is all right and the government all
right, the gold reserve is sure to be all
right, and vice versa.
At tbe end pf this fiscal year, look
ing over tbe official statement which
had been on my desk, the condition of
the government is all that could be
desired. There is no trouble with the
gold reserve, that barometer of confi
dence. The business men, capitalists,
and investors, t)op only of our own
country, but of tbe world, are content
witb our situation and prospects. All
the ncVvougness which formerly held
us in its toils bas disappeared, in its
ulace we have confidence in the future
confidence in tbe government, and
confidence in ourselves. The hoard
n? of gold bas stopped, and much of
tbe yellow metal that was plied away
during the depression has come out
and gone into circulation."
