OREGON CITY, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1S77.
The Railroad Strikers.
The people of the East are having
feerious trouble from railroad strikers,
which has resulted in the loss of many
livea andthe destruction of vast amounts
of property, and the end is not yet. It
seems that the railroad companies in
the East reduced the wages of their
employesto a very low rate on account
of dull times, when a strike took place,
which, at present writing, would indi
cate that it will extend over the entire
country east of Omaha. The military
has been ordered out in Maryland,
Pennsylvania, New York and other
Btates, and the President has been ap
pealed to for assistance, and yet the
strikers seem to be masters of the situ
ation. The property destroyed already
amounts to Beveral millions and they
are still applying the torch and pillag
ing, and great suffering will bo the re
sult. The rioters are thoroughly en
raged and the result is hard to predict.
The indications are that it will result
more serious than was at first imagined,
and extend through the large railroad
districts to such an extent as to
assume the character of a civil war.
Unless it is speedily checked, it will
gain such volume as to cause the loss

lives.
We are not prepared to say that the
employes are entirely to blame, but as
a rule we believe strikes unjustifiable,
and when they are carried to an extetit
to cause death and the destruction of
property, they are nothing but mobs
ond murderers. "We are the friend of
labor; we have always earned our bread
by the sweat of our brow, but we never
believed that a man had a right because
Ins wages were reduced or because he
wanted them increased, to destroy the
property of his employer or prevent
those from working who were willing
to do so for what the employer could
give. The employer and employed are
entitled to equal protection, and there
is no law which justifies murder and
araon to compel a corporation or indi
vidual to give bis employes more than
lie sees fit or is able to pay. On the
other hand we see no good reason why
corporation or individual should so
reduce th wages of employes to such a
figure that it will be impossible for the
Jaborer to earn an honest living for
liimself and those dependent upon his
labor. That there has been great in
justice done these laborers there can bo
no aouot, out mat tliey are uoing a
greater wrong no one who has any re
gard for law and order can question.
These strikers, besides destroying mil
lions oi aouars worth ol property, are
bringing sorrow and desolation to the
-hearts of thousands of their followers
Two wrongs never make a right, and
even if the railroads were now to accede
to their demands, the evil they have
done by their inconsiderate action will
bo the result of greater suffering than
if they had quietly submitted to the
reduction. There can be but one final
result in this matter. The government
of the State must use its utmost power
in putting down these mobs, and if
they are not strong enough, the Gen
eral Government must interfere. There
can be no doubt of the termination , and
it will be against the strikers.
The Senatorial Committee.
"The Senatorial Committee, having
closed its labors, are visiting various
parts of our State and Washington Ter
o ritory. Last Saturday Senator Sauls
bury went up the Columbia as far as
tne uascaaes ana returned tne same
evening. He has urgent business at
home, and went thither overland on
"Monday, accompanied by Mr. Stagg,
the short-hand reporter, and Mr. Bur-
"bank,Sergeant-at-arms. Senators Mor
ton and McMillan, and Mr. Alexander,
went to the Dalles on Monday, from
whence Senator Morton returned, and
Senator McMillan extended his visit as
far as Walla Walla. They will proba
bly take a trip up the valley as far as
Rosebnrg before they leave, and on the
30th tbey will take the steamer for San
Francisco. If the investigation has done
no other good, it has given these gen
tlemen, by an actual experience, an idea
xf Oregon, and we have no doubt but
. what it will show its fruits in future
legislation in behalf of Oregon.
The Indian War.
The latest news indicates that our In
dian war is about closed. Joseph and
his followers have made tracks for the
buffalo country, and will probably not
make another stand until they get out
of the reach of our troops. While we
rejoice at the speedy termination of this
outbreak, we should like to have seen
the general in command follow up his
Tictory and clean out the murderers, or
bring them to the punishment they so
richly deserve.

the judge and prosecuting attorney
acting therein.

Canadian Troubles.
Our Canadian neighbors, says the
Chicago Pot, are afflicted with hard
times, and they see no immediate pros
pect of relief. For a few years they
sailed upon the sea of apparent pros
perity, and were pleased with their po
litical and commercial position. Now
they find that their experiment has been
expensive, and is daily growing worse.
They have a debt of nearly one hundred
and fifty millions of dollars for a popu
lation of three millions and a half, or
some forty dollars per head. This is
becoming yearly a heavier burden, be
cause their credit is weakening an J the
rates of interest are therefore getting
higher. Out of a total revenue of twenty-three
millions nearly eight are now
required to pay interest. All this has
occurred during years of prosperity,
when they had peace in all their bor
ders, and when all parts of the country
were united in a patriotic aesire to
build up a vigorous young nation. Now
that adversity has fallen upon them, the
most prudent politicians and writers
are inquiring what th future has in
store for them. They no not see how
matters are to grow in any direction
except a bad one. They call attention
to tho fact that since the war we have
reduced our debt very greatly, and re
duced our interest to the iowest point,
showing a prompt recovery from the
disasters of our civil commotion. With
out any such national shock their con
dition has been gradually growing
worse. Some attribute it to their low
tariff and some to their high, and others
to the repeal of the Reciprocity Treaty
with the United States. The real facts
are that they have not the population
or resources to stand the extensive
superstructure of complicated govern
ment and great public works they have
been endeavoring to sustain and push
forward. The undertakings they al
ready have in hand will increase their
national debt to two hundred millions,
and make the burdens of the people
greatly larger than at present. The real
facts must then be evident to those who
will be called upon to sustain the load,
and they will become convinced that
their troubles arise from natural causes,
which their legislators cannot remedy.
They are too small for what they have
undertaken, and the sooner they throw
open their great national highways and
become the outlet for the Northwest.
the sooner will they recover from tliair

Causes of the Indian Troubles.
The present Indian troubles in this
Territory arcs) from many crooked
transactions on the part of some of the
agents, and to do justice to the Indians
and protect the setHers the Government
ought to institute a searching investi
gation. Several tribes of the Territory
tell of many transactions by which they
are robbed of supplies sent them. Blan
kets are cut in two; one half they get
and the other half i3 Bold, the agents
pocketing the money. They claim that
they Cre constantly being robbed in like
manner of all supplies sent them. The
people of the West are familiar with
these things, and it looks strange that
the authorities at Washington don't in
vestigate the matter. A commission of
honest men could easily find sufficient
evidence to send the majority of these
agents to the penitentiary. When we
look at the Indian question on ail sides,
we wonder how it is that the savage
and revengeful nature of most all the
tribes is not aroused. Tbey are, we
believe, about as considerate as white
men would be under the circumstances,
but as they have taken the warpath, the
only course that can be pursued is to
defeat them and regulate things after

raiders cross our borders from Liower

the handful of soldiers who were placed
there to protect our citizens taken away
to fight the Indians; the rioters carry
ing everything with a high band in 'he
East, and a corporal's guard to crush
the outbreak. Democratic retrench

of innocent lives sacrificed bv mobs nn.l

Telegraphic News.
Eastern.
New York, July 20. The Express,
the organ of the Tammany ring, last
evening accuses Randall of the -basest
treachery to the party known in our
history. The Express accuses him of
being a Republican, while fraudulently
obtaining Democratic votes in his dis
trict, and hopes he won't be re-elected
speaker. The reasons that the Express
gives, are that Uandall practically de
feated Tilden by his rulings in the
House during the count and allowed
Robeson to escape punishment by get
ting certain patronage in the Philadel
phia navy yards. The Express concludes
thus: The Democracy in various States
may be able to hold its own successfully
in the future, but if it would have a re
newed national existence once more, it
will get rid of its Randalls at once and
forever.
Chicago, July 23. Nearly every dis

A mass meeting of workingmeu is be
ing held at the new city hall. The cry
of "Chinatown at 1 o'clock," is often
heard, and the police are taking meas
ures to prevent trouble.
San Francisco, July 2-i. At this
hour, 12:50 A. M., all is quiet, and the
trouble appears over for the night.
The crowd that two hours a?o blocked
the southern end of Dupont street has
dispersed, and the police are masters
of the situation. All the streets lead
ing to the Chinese quarter are strongly
gnardeu, aim no one is allowed to pass
along Dupont. Thus far no use of
firearms has occurred, except in the
case of the shots tired into th crowd at
the nif ting last evening. The party
who mci was arrested and locked up
His action was prompted uj a pure
love of mischief. Neither of tl.e men
hit was seriously injured. During the
contest of the police with the mob on
Dupont street several stones were
thrown at them, bitting one or two of
the force, but doing no injury oi con
sequence. While the disturbance was
in progress at the south of Dupont,
another mol, n timber in g nve or six
hundred, gathered at the northern ex
tremity of that thoroughfare, wrecked
a few Chiuese houses, and attempted to
penetrate in o the Chinese quarter, but
were finally forced back by the police.
and at latest advices has dispersed
During these attempts to assail their
quarters the Chinese manifested much
alarm aud early in the evening every
door and shutter was closed fast, and
not a Chinaman was to be Keen on the
street. About eleven a crowd collected
in front of the Chinese Mission, on
Washington street above Stockton, and
stoned the windows, but were scattered
by the police before effecting much
damage.
It now appears that tbe fire by which
the building at the corner of Geary aud
Lieavenworth was destroyed, originated
by smashing a coal oil lamp in the Chi
nese portion of the building by a stone
thrown through the window. Although
all is at present quiet, the police and
military authorities are fully alive to
th gravity of tbe occasion aud vigilance
will not be for a moment relaxed. The
prompt and courageous action of the
police barely prevented a bloody riot
for had the mob gained the heart of the
Chinese quarter it would havo been ini
possible to foretell the result. It is wel
understood that not only at present, but
at all times, there is deep and wids
spread feeling nmcng both tho laboring
and hoodlum class against the Chinese
which only lacks a favorable opportnn
ity to break out into pen hostility. It
is believed, however, that with prndenca
and vigilance the immediate danger is
over, and that if qniet can be maintain
ed during the remainder of the nigh
there will be no further trouble. It is
quite probable that in view of the pres
ent and possible future disturbance ef
forts will be made to effect some organ
ized action among the better class of
citizens looking to tbe maintenance of
law and order.

18,000 shells during the same time. They
have a sufficient supply of amunition
for 125 days, including a stack of shells
which may be exploded at the rate of

A Lewiston Teller extra of Friday,
July 20, has the following:
The regular cavalry and Lewiston
volunteers pursued and overhauled the
Indians on Tuesday. Jim, Reuben, Levi
and several other friendly Indians acted
as scouts. Tbey came up with tbe In
dians near the Weipe Camas ground
amid very much undergrowth of pine.
The Indians fired npon the scouts and
killed Levi and one other, wounded
Reuben, and another was shot through
the lungs. McConville with his eight
teen men were in the advance, and were
in a position of much danger. The In
dians were concealed in the timber on
both sides of them. McConville soon
saw the regular cavalry turned and flee
ing. Tbe Indian scouts, through their
tactics, drew the attention of the hos
tiles.so as to let McConville and his men
out of thb snap, and seeing that the
whole force of the regulars had taken
to flight.be found it necessary to follow
them rather than suffer bis handful of
men to be cut off. The whole pursuing
brce returned to Kamia, leaving Jos
eph's men master of the situation. All
the command had recrossed to tt.e south
side of Clearwater, and were to move to
Lapwai, except 100 men under Throck
morton, who, with artillery, are to bold
position till Col. Green's force unites
with him from Boise.

A dispatch from Lawyer's Canyon,
dated July 21st, says:
Thelndians made a dpscent on Kamiah
vesterdav. stealing 400 poies from the
Kamiahs, and left for Little Camas and
the Buffalo countrv. It is evident that
Joseph sent back his band for a fresh
supply of horses and to revisit the old
caches and chastise the Indians friendly
to us. The troops will go into camp at
Lawver s Canyon to satisfy the fright
ened Kamiahs and se'tlers, until San

and will not get to Fort Lapwai till
Rrpfemler. Gen. Howard has engaged
fifty axemen and will start for Lolo trail

road have been burned by a mob, and
3,000,000 worth of property destroyed.
A mass meeting was held at St. Louis
on the 22d, by railroad men, at which
incendiary speeches were made, and
sentiments in favor of a general strike
were expressed.
In New York City tho excitement is
intense.
Serious destruction of property is re
ported in Columbus, O.
Thirty-seven persons were killed in
the riot at Reading, Pa.
The strikes are becoming more gen
eral throughout the different States.and
it is hard to predict what will be the
final result.
The Navy Department has ordered
that all the iron clads be got ready for
service immediately.
The managers of tbe Erie railway
have resolved to hold out and make no
concessions to the strikers.
The seventh division of the Pennsyl
vania militia, ordered to Pittsburg Sat
urday, returned Monday, their attempt
to break the backbone of the strike hav
ing proven a failure.
The rioters in Buffalo are over 2,000
strong.and are hourly gaining numbers.
They have taken possession of the East
Buffalo New lork Central depot and
turned all tbe switches.
Tbe Transit cempauy of Indianapolis
have recinded their order for 'a reduc
tion of 10 per cent, on wages and notifi
ed employes to that effect, but so far
the latter have taken no notice of it.
At Columbus, Ohio, on the 23d, the
strikers, to the number of 300, went to
tbe rolling mill and compelled the em
ployes to suspend work. They also
went to the pipe works, set fire to Clay
& Co. s works, Pattern's works, Adams
planing mill, Franklin machine works,
Peters' sash works and other factories,
tbe employes of which joined with the
strikers.
The' War Department has ordered

three companies of Infantry to Louis
ville, Kentucky, and Jefi'ersonville, In
diana. Six companies of the 22d Infan
try, en route from the Sioux country to
the Department of the Lakes, have been
ordered to stop at Chicago.
The N. Y. Press on the Situation.
The journals generally are given up
to news of strikers and rioters to the
exclusion of everything else.
Tbe Herald sayseditorially: We judge
tbe number of actual strikers all over
the country tc be not greater than eight,
or at most, ten thousand. There are
great crowds of idlers, tramps and
thieves congregating at every center to
repeat the Pittsburg riot, and thus the
movement not only looks, but is for
midable by reason of outsiders' influ
ences, which will presently be beyond
the control of respectable strikers.
There are no signs that railroad man
agers propose to settle the difficulty,
while no doubt the strike was duly
pi en ned and thoroughly organized.
Within six months 32 roads represent
ing nearly 50,000,000 of stock and over
$75,000,000 of debt, have been sold.
Receivers have been appointed for 1G
roads, with stock and debt amounting
to over 150,000,000. This unpleasant
ness, but nevertheless healthful process
of coming down to hard pan, must con
tinue. The last year has seen a very
serious general shrinkage in the value
of railroad stock. Uuder those circum
stances railroad managers virtually de
sire to economize, but their workmen
reply, "Improve and purify your man
agement." If they hail made this ap
peal without violence or lawlessness,
we cannot help but feel that they would
have public opinion on their side. As
it is they have blundered, and have
shown themselves incapable of manag
ing their cause, and they will be lucky
if they escape tbe general burst of in
dignation. The Woi'ld discusses, similarly, in
an editorial, in which it incidentally
praises Hayes for his prompt action.
The Tribune says Napoleon was right.
It is always a blunder as well as a
crime to exasperate a mob without ex
terminating ;t. Thousands of men
must go hungry for many days beca.ise
of the last week's wild work. It is the
business of tbe government to end such
disorders, and it will be mercy to tbe
strikers themselves and to all others
concerned to end this business quickly
whatever it cost. When peace and
submission to law has been restored it
will be time to ask the strikers what
they havo gained. Railway companies
were in trouble; some were bankrupt
and others trembling on the verge of
bankruptcy. Because they sought to
reduce wages millions of property has
been destroyed. Does anybody sup
pose they will be able to pay higher
wages because of this loss ?
The Sun says this railroad war must
not go on? There must be peace and
tho reign of law. Railroad managers
must be just and honest toward each
other and then they can be honest anil
just toward the public and toward their
employes. Of the bitter fruits of dis
honesty and cut-throat competition tbe
country has had enough.

scientific skill cannot go beyond the result
reached in these wonderful preparation
Added to Carbolic, Arnica, Mentha, Seneca-Oii

makes a family liniment that defies rivalry
Rheumatic and bed-ridden cripples have by it
been enabled to throw away their crutches
and many who tor years been afflicted with
Neuralgia, Sciatica, Caked Breast, Weak
Backs, ac, have found permanent relief.
Mr. Josiah W'estlake, of Marysville, Ohio
writes : '
"For years my rheumatism has been so baa
that I have leen unable to stir from the houx
I have tried every remedy I could hear of"
Finally I learned of the Centaur Liniment
The first three bottles enabled me to -wais;
without my crutches. Iam mendingrapidly
I think your Liniment simply a marvel."
This Liniment cures Burns and Scalds with
out a scar, extracts the oison from bites and
stings. Cures Chillblains and Frosted-fwt
and Is very efficacious for Ear-ache, Tooth
ache, Itch and cutaneous eruptions.
The Centaur Liniment, Yellow 'Wrap

and musqles of horses, mules and animal.

My horse was lame for a vrar with a fet

Pitchers' Castor-la is particularly recommen

efficacious in Croup.and for children Teething-.
For Colds, Feverishness, Disorders of he Bow

CAXCEK CAX HE CURED.
Cancer has from time immemorial been a
great scourge to the human race, and is now
becoming the greater. For many years it ha
been held by the medical profession, and gen
erally believed by the people, that Cancer is
incurable -, that once its roots take hold upon
a victim, there Is no chance for A sufferer to
escape a lingering and terrible death ; a death
surrounded by all that is disgusting and hor
rible, not only to the sufferer, but to his
friends. Happily this fell destroyer need no.
longer be feared. Dr. H. T. Bond, of Phil
delphia.a well known physician, of large ex
perience, has for four years devoted himself
to the special study and treatment of Cancer,
and the result of his experience is his dis
covery f.-r t he radical cure of Cancer, without,
the use of either knife, caustic or plasters,
and without pain.
The majority of persons are greatly deceived,
in regard to the first symptoms and appear
ance of this most dreaded disease, considering;
it painful from the commencement. This is
a sad mistake, carrying thousands to an un
timely grave. Iu most cases there Is little or
no pain until the disease is far advanced.
The only symptoms for many months, ana
even for years, are occasicnally a stinging
darting, stabbing, shootine, smarting, itch
ing, burning, crawling or creeping sensation,
and some cases not any or these. If
malady is growing worse instead
better, it is conclusive evidence it is of a
malignant character, and demands imme
diate attention. If you have a branny
warty appearance, with an occasional break
ing out of these upon the face, lip or nose, or
any other portion of the skin, attended witft
any of the above symptoms, ot a sensation oi
a fly being on it, or a hair tickling it, is cer
tain evidence it is Cancer, and there shouia
l)c no delay in using Dr. Bond's treatment.
Life is too valuable to be tampered wi'
Dr. Bond's t rent ment consists of an An""
dote" that is applied locally : this at once ar
rests the growt h of t he Cancer, and Ay cnem
cal action neutralizes its malignity. renUej
ing it harmless and changing it to a simp
sore, which nature, assisted by constitutional
remedies, soon heals (when the skin is
broken, and t he Cancer is a hard tumor, in
Antidote does not make an open sore, bu.?L
raovs it bv absorption) In connection
the Antidote is used the Specific, pn,fh
ternallv. This tones up the general "eauu.
strengthens the patient, puriaes the D'
and eliminates the poison from the system
Dr. Bond's Antidote contains neither causuo
nor poison, and can be applied to the m'
delicate tissues of the body without nJu'
and therefore is the only remedy that can w
used in internal l ancer, such as canwrnl?.
stomach, cancer of the womb, etc. Dr. BO"9
