DONT GET EXCITED. '
The Klonkike fever is getting a firm
bold on many residents of Waeco
county, and unless it abates there will
be a large delegation from here go to
the Arctic golddelds this season. To
those who contemplate casting their
lot In the Northern climes and coquet
ting with the "fickle goddess" around
the vicinity of the North pole, we
would say, don't get excited and leave
a competency at home in order to
tamper with something you know not
of. .: . -
Under the-, most favorable circum
stances a trip to Klondike will be
fraught, with danger and suffering.
Only -th03e accustomed to enduring
hardships are fitted -for the undertak-.

must fail to reach the goal. Besides,

'.Hence the man who ha a competency
.here is not warranted in deserting i
to seek for uncertain, wealth in the far
North.
2 As a. rule the man who has sufficient
capital to take him to Dawson city and
pay his expenses there for a year, will
make more by husbanding that capital
here at home than he will by chasing
around after gold in Alaska. ."A bird
in hand Is worth two in the bush" at
all times, and if this will be considered
seriously by those who contemplate
going North .in quest of gold, they will
readily Bee the absurdity of sacrificing
anything to make the trip. There will
be plenty of people going to Alaska
this year to cover all the good claims,
and .there will be -thousands left who
will find nothing to locate. on. These
thousands who go will have to be

SHOULD BE.
The senate committee, on privileges
aadftteotioBii baa determined : to report
adversely, to. the claim of Mr. Corbett
to VMat In" thetJ sited -States senate
on the aopbinttofent. of the governor of
Oregon. This is beyond question a
wise" and:, just. determination. With
alfdufe deference, to Governor Lord,
' we cannot but. take tue stand, that Mr.
Corbett -bad. 'not-the 8emblanceol
ub& to a Tea in the United States
senhtepotu the "appointment . of the
governor -Th vacancy which he was
appelated to fill occurred at a time
- whdn'it was '.the duty : of the Oregon
legislature' to selest a senator. The
' legislative 'body was presumed to' be in
session atJ&at time, or, prior thereto,
and.Qne et the' duties of that body was
- to electa senator to succeed John H.
Mitchell, whose term expired on
Mareh-4, 1897. The legislature having
jieglectetfto do this, it certaialy was
not'ericumbent upon the governor to
fill the Vacan'cy by appointment.
To have seated Mr. Corbett, ' the
senate would have established a prece
dence that would have encouraged the
repetition of the disgraceful affair at
Salem a year ago, and would have
licensed a -repetition of that farce at
the capital f every state in the union
whenever there was a close senatorial
cdntesi l'i' -would have been placing aj

. During the last national campaign
there were two prominent issues the
money question and the tariff. The
latter was made the matter of greatest
importance in the manufacturing cen
ters, especially in the New England
states, where large numbers of factory
hands were led to believe that their
only hope of retaining employment
and advance in wages laid in support
ing the principles of protection, for
without additional protection wages
must be reduced or factories shutdown.
On the tariff question the operatives
in New England cotton factories were
almost a unit, and voted for the prin
ciple that they were told would insure
them steady employment at advanced
wages. When their "friends," the
protectionists, were put into power,
the first act was to pass a tariff bill,
which carries with it an increased duty
on cotton manufactures, that increased
the mill owners' profits, but the opera
tives have as yet seen nothing of the
promised increase in wages. - On the
contrary, they are subjected to a cut
in wages, and are confronted with the
necessity of walking out or workirg
for less pay than they did under the
system they voted jo d'scard in 1896.
This has occurred at a time when
the manufacturers should, if there is
anything in the claim of protection to
manufactured articles and cheap raw
materials, be able to pay higher wages
than ever before. They have all the
protection tbey asked for, and are get
ting their cotton cheaper than at any
other time in the past ten years. Un
der these conditions it is difficult for
the laborer to learn just'wbere he has
been "benefitted by protection.' The
laborer in the mills finds bis wages re-
duced, and the laborer in the cotton
fields finds bis Income cut down in the
boasted home market that Drotection
was to give him. Evidently the laborer
got off on the wrong side of the fence
when he voted for president in 1896.

THAT WAYE-OF" '-HARMONY.'
The. political ball-in Wasco county
waaraUoied rolling last Saturday night
when the McKinley Club held a meet
inirin - the court house here for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
republican league- convention to be
held in Portland next jmonth. H4r
- fflonv reierned supreme; that is, such
harmony aalxisted betweeo the moa
key and parrott at their proverbial
meeting in .which the parrott lost all
his pUuqiag$. .be Mitchell and anti
Mitchell forces were lined np in direct
opposition, and the lines between the
two factions . were as pronounced and
closely drawn fe they were at the
republican primaries in Portland two
years ago. A printed ticket of dele
gates was presented by one faction and
a typewritten one by the other, so the
club wen; at the selection of delegates
with as much -earnestness as if it were
a general election
The"harmony'JLthat existed at last
Saturday . night's, meeting is indica-
business failures than any city he had
ylsited. Why this is, he could not tell,
but it is plain to all who have been
close observers of conditions and af
fairs.'. -
It is simply because. The Dalles is
more favorably located fo doing busi
ness than any other city east of the
mountains and because of the low
freight rates it. .has enjoyed during
times when the prices prevailing in
places located further interior, for the
products of the country, would little
more than pay the expense of getting
them to market. Just before the hard
times began steamboat connection was
established between here and Portland,
made possible by the construction of
the state portage at the Cascades, and
while the producers surrounding other
trade centers were paying but nearly
the.price of their products to get them
to market, those here were getting low
rates and no matter bow low the price,
still had a little profit' left for their
labor, hence, as a rule, were able to
meet their obligations. The mercb
ants also derived a benefit from these
low freight rates, not alone in the
matter of dollars saved oa their freight
accounts, but by being able to offer
prices that drew trade from all quar
ters.
These conditions still exist and will
continue for many years, or at least
until the obstructions to navigation of
the Columbia above The Dalles are re
moved. This is something in the far
distant, and capitalists seeking invest-
PR0CT1CAL PATRIOTISM.'
Love of country is probably the ac
ceptable embodiment of patriotism,
but as to ho itsbould. be exhibited
there as a wide diversity of opinion.
Some consider ail that is necessary is
to assemble on the Fourth of July each
year and cheer for old glory and
Amen -an freedom, others insist that
the only true patriot is the one who
has offered his . life, .before. .canon's
mouth as a sacrifice to his country,
while there are others who believe
patriots are those who accept and
obey the country's laws and uphold Its
institutions in their everyday walks
through life. In a general sense per
haps the latter requirement of a real
patriot is the most acceptablp, bu
there is a patriotism that may b
applied locally that more directly con
cerns individual communities than do
love of country, or submission to Its
laws.
Local patriotism love of home and
a desire to build up liome institutions
; more directly affect Teach community
ihan-do all tbeboasts of -loyalty to the
.nation. Hence the individual who Is
loyal to every home Industry displays
a more practical degree of patrio Urn
than does the soldier bn the battle
field. He who patronizes home in
dustries in preference to foreign, who
satisfies his desires wherever possible
with home produ -is, who buys of his
borne merchant, has bis work rione by
home mechanics, in short consumes
nothing made abroad that can be had
at home, is a practical patriot. That
there is too little. of this class of
patriotism practiced in every commun
ity is evidenced everywhere. Even in
The .Dalles it is noticed quite fre
quently We find on sale" almost
everywhere, in direct competition with
our home products, and as a rule of no
letter quality, articles from abroad,
while the home producer must seek a
foreign ma ket for bis commodities.
This is in a measure due to the fact that
many have an . idea something made
is superior to anything made at home.
For instance, many house-wives think
flour made in Umatilla county is sup
erior to that producec at the Diamond
mills in , The Dalles, while as a
matter of fact there ie no
better flour made in the state
than the Diamond brand; or that a
ham put up by the Union Meat Co. at
Troutdale, is superior to one packed
by any of the local butchers, though
the latter could take the premium over
their Troutdale competitors in any
fair contest. '
So long as this feeling exists that
nothing is perfect except it is imported,
the community will not thrive nor will
home institutions prosper. What is
required to make this or any Other
community thrifty is the. practice of
of more practical patriotism, more of
a disposition to patronize home in
dustries. -

Hod. Wo. J. Bryan on Jackson day

Hawaii is knocking at the door of
the Union for admission, even having
sent her president here to intercede

Congress should no longer refuse the

Senator Wolcott took, up an hour
and a half in the senate the other day
expl fining -why the international bi
metallic commission failed to accom
plish anything in Europe. Almost
any school boy could have explained
the whole matter in the simpl? s-ate-inent
that it was because the European
money lenders didn't want it.
A little more than a year ago we
heard considerable about opening the
mills instead of the mints if ''confi
dence were restored." But recent oc
currences in the New England states
indicate that neither the mills nor the
mints are to remain open. The latter
have been closed for some time, and
now about all the cotton mills in the
country are closed because the oper
ators cannot afford to pay living wages
under the ays-tern of protection and
gold standard.
Ten coal mining companies in Ill
inois have beeninJicted for conspiring
to oefraud. This offense was in raising'
the price of coal 50 cents a ton on the
pretext that it was necessary on ac
count of a raise in the wages of the
miners which amounted to 7icts. a ton.
Tbey only wanted 42 cts. profit for
an outlay of 1 cents. Their scheme
was something like the workings of a
protective tariff when applied to the
laborer and the manufacturer. It was
ail on the side of the employer.

follow in ir interview with ex Senator
Fred Dubois on the future o ii v i the
silver republicans in Idaho and the
West: " '
" The plain announcement of Secre
tary Gage that the administration in
tends to make permanent tho gold
standard, retire the greenbacks and
turn control ol the nation's currency
oer to the national banks completely
vindicates the judgement and policy of
the silver republicans in quilting for
ever the republican party. After the
adoption of the St. Louis platform the
rank and file of the republicans In
Idaho clung to the old party in the
hope that it would do something for
silver. Now that the national party
has thrown off all disguise and stands
squarely and unequivocally for gold
monocetullsm, tbey will follow no
further. They will ally themselves
with their former political associates
and join tho silver republican ranks.
"There is no" room for a republican
party in Idaho. I believe the silver
republican party is the strongest i:rty
in Idaho. . They ' should use treir
strength for the purpose ot advancing
the full restoration of silver and not
for the advancement of individuals."

receipts, activity in private business,
enlarged emplopment and better
wages, are a year in advance because
of President McKinley's calling of the
fifty-fifth congress into extraordinary
session. The settlement of the tariff
then removed it from consideration
now.' Had not the special session
been called the period of wailing
would have been prolonged till the
present time in eyery business which
must know the tariff rates before it
ventures beyond present' needs of the
market. One of the greatest services
the McKinley' administration and re
publioan congrses were, or will be,
able to render to the country was their
prompt attention to the revenues and
restoration of the protective policy.
which the order of Patriots of America
purports to be, it can have but little
weight with the masses, for there is a
distrust for all secret organizations
that undertake to dictate to elections
or parties. ' Politics in a republican
form of government should be open
and above board and not conducted
by lodges.
It would ba funny for the democrats
of Oregon to be so hopelessly at sea as
to nominate a populist for governor.
And yet, they may, and may nominate
the chairman of the populist state com
mittee Pendleton Tribune. Never.
If Chairman Young ever becomes a
candite for governor of Oregon, he
will be put up as the tool of the ele
ment which the Pendleton 'ribune
represents. The demoerats may nom
inate or endorse a populist for govern
or, but it will not be J. C. Young, or
any other man who is working Into the
hands of the gold republicans.
There are still a large number of the
souvenir editions of the Times-Mountaineer
in this office, and as it is a
good advertisement for Wasc and
Sherman counties, it should be scat
tered broadcast throughout the East.
We feel that we have done eur part in
advertising the country by toing to a
large expense in publishing the
edition, and that tbose who have like
interests with ours should give the
paper circulation where it will do
good in attracting people and capital
here. Every property owner in the
two counties should send a few copies
East.
The Salem Statesman is of the opin
ion that the republican party in
Oregon will be able to get together ete
the campaign begins, and says: "We
think the members of . the party out
side of Multnomah county will demand
that the leaders of the warring factions
down there get into the camp of re
publicanism or submit to being kicked
out of it entirely, for the campaign or
for good.'' The fellows "down there"
that it speaks of are pretty high kick
ers themselves, and if the signs of the
times are' not-woefully out of joint,
degree, and it is evident that all
former popular demonstrations here
will be equaled, if 'not eclipsed.
Union of Chnreh and State.
Chicago, Jan. 18. "The great ten
dency iri the Congregational church is
toward the union of religion and tbe
state. The church ' has before it 'a

zenship in our creed and teach them
in the churches."
These were the words of Rev. Chas.
Lamson, president of the American

Scrapped For Cuba.
Washington, Jan. 19. When the
house convened today tbe leaders on
both sides were rallying their forces,
and it was ' apparent that the battle
over Cuba which raged yesterday was
to continue today.
Bructter, democrat, of Michigan,
asked unanimous consent for tbe con
eideration of a resolution which he
sent to tbe clerk's desk. Tbe speaker
took occasion to examine- the resolu
tlon, and while doing so, Bailey, the
leader of the minority, loudly demand
ed that tbe resolution be reported
The speaker thereupon directed the
clerk to read the resolution, which in
structed the committee on foreign
affairs to report without further delay
the senate Cuban belligerency resolution.
Like a flash Hitt, the chairman of
the foreign affairs committee, was on
his feet with a point of order which
tbe eperktr promptly sustained, and
was about to recognize Hltt to call up
tbe diplomatic and consular appropri
ation when Bailey demanded recogni
tion. ' ? '.
"One moment, please," he .called,
"let us first dispose, of this question of
order." '
"Tbe chair sustained, tbe point, of
order," retorted the speaker.
"Then appeal," called Bailey across
the hall to Brucker, and the Mich
ieander entered an appeal from the
decision of the chair. All was instant
ly excitement and confusion. Dozens
of members were on their feet demand
ing recognition to . debate the appeal,
but tbe speaker recognized Dalzell,
who moved to lay It on tbe table. This
cut off debate anil the speaker put th 3
question. The motion to lay the
appeal on the table was carried by a
vote of 168 to 120.
There were no manifestations of
approval on the announcement of the
vofe. ' The house, on Hitt's motion,
went into committee of the whole and
resumed consideration of the diplo
matic and consular appropriation bills.
As soon as the firt paragraph was
revl, Williams, democrat, of Mississ
ippi, offered an amendment directing
the president to appoint three com
missioners to proceed to Cuba aid,
if possible, to neg tiate a treaty of
peace, amity and commerce with the
republic of Cuba. It - was ruled out of
order. '
Lewis, democrat, ; of Washington,
offered an amendment providing that
to emphasize tbe fact that a-state of
war existed in Cuba, the consul-general
at Havana be witbdrawu and the
government of Spain be notified of tbe
suspension of diplomatic relations at
that point". ' .-.-''-.
Hltt raised a point of order, which
Hepburn, in the chair, sustained.
The democrats made frequent in
effectual attempts to amend tbe bill so
as to meet the Cuban situation
some shape, but all fell through on
points 01 order. .
