Oregon and washington Rivers.


WASHINGTON, August 6.-Major WA.
Jones has made his annual report on
the Improvement OF Oregon and Wash
ington Territory rivers. During the
past fiscal year s33,S74 have been ex-
pended on the Columbia at Cascade,
Oregon, and sci SOB remains available.
Much benefit has already resulted from
this Improvement. 1t is estimated that
81 100000 will be required to complete
the project; $4,000 is asked for next
year. Major Jones says IT the total
amount needed is appropriated, he can
open this work to navigation inside OF
two years. Its opening, he says, will
have a great and beneficial influence
on the development. of this ex-
ceedingly rich and fertile country. The
| principal improvements are the thanking
of the upper cascade with canal 300
! feet long, and the removal of obStruc-
tons to navigation of the lower cas-
cades. In speaking of the proposed
! improvement of Columbia River near
the Dalles, Oregon, Major Jones says
that for distance of about thirteen
miles, commencing little above that
city, the river runs and is choked APP
parently by the intrusion of lava,
through which it has difficulty to cut a
passage. The obvious mode of improy-
ing navigation here is to dodge these
mighty obstacles by means of canals and
locks. Such a project, it is estimated.
would cost Sl1, 900, 900, because of the
extensive excavations and walls and
gates of unprecedented height, that
would be required. II we apply to
this enormous sum the rate at
which funds have been provided for
the Cascades Canal it will appear that
over one hundred years will be required
before navigation could be opened
through this obstruction. Major Jones
thinks canals and locks will ultimately
be used for making the Improvement.
He, however, proposes another project
for the present and says, II propose to
flank the Dalles and Cells Falls with
railway inclines. over which laden boats
and river crafts may be hauled by
means of ordinary engines" Maj. Jones
says such a proposition has been
advocated at this place for. years.
He estimated the maximum grade
of the track for the railway at
2131s feet per mile. The cars will
have extra wheels on each side with in
dependent axles. On two rail track
twenty-five feet six inches wide, the
maximum load of single wheel about
seventeen tons; for the present, only a
single line of track is proposed. He es-
Inmates the cost for such improvement

The HagertoWn Daily NeWS whose
editor, by the way, is Democrat
has the following deservedly compli-
mentary notice Of Hon. l.. e. Nc,
Comas in connection with the Santos
case:
If it is true that Julio Santos has
been released land we have received
no contradiction Of his reported re,
iease) there are two Washington
county men to whom, more than TO
anyone else, credit is due for untiring
industry and unfailing effort in that
behalf, viz: Hon. Louis +. McComas
and Mr.. Henry Onderdonk. The
latter being his old preceptor natur.
ally felt warm interest in the fate of
his former scholar Julio, and most
molly has he championed his cause.
Mr.. McCOmaS had no such init
mate personal connection with San
tOS, his interest being exclusively
confined to that which a faithful rep.
resentatiYe should have in the well
fare and safety of constituent or

his efforts to place the matter in its
true light before the State Depart
ment, and in presenting it in such a
manner that its merits as question
OfinternationaI law, of national honor
and personal liberty might he clearly
understood. This was done with all
the ability, persistency, earnestneso
and knowledge of the subject which
are cardinal traits in the advocacy Of
any cause undertaken by Mr.. Me
COmas. AT one time it seemed as if
all effort would be unavaiing-that
is, verbal etfort-but thanks, mainly
to Mr.. McComas, a different termina-
ton has been reached, and the pros
poets are that Julio Santos will soon
have an opportunity to express his
appreciation in person to Mr.. Onder-

Beer Against W hiSkY.

For some years a decided incIina,
ton has been apparent all oyer the
country to give up the use Of whisky
and other strong alcohOls, using as a
substitute beer and other compounds,
This is evidently founded on the idea
that beer is not harmful, and contains
a large amount Of nutriment; also
that bitters may have some medical
quality which will neutralize the al
COhOl which il conCeaIs, &c. These
theories are without confirmation in
the observation of physicians.
The use Of beer is found to produce
a species Of degeneration of all the
organs; profound and deceptive fatty
deposits, diminished circulation, con-
ditions of congestion and perversiOn
of functional activities, local infiam
nation of both the liver and kidneys,
are constantly present. intellectual
ly, a stupOr amounting almost to
paralysis arrest the reason, changing
all the higher faculties into a mere
animalism, sensual, selfish, sluggish
varied only with paroXysms of anger
that are senseless and brutal. In an.
pearanCe the beer drlnker may be the
picture Of health, but in reality he is
most incapable in resisting disease
A slight injury, severe cold, or g
shock to the body or mind, will com
monty provoke acute disease ending
| fatally.
Compared with inebriates who use
different kinds of alcohol, he is more
incurable and more generally diseas
ed. The constant use of beer every
day gives the system no recuperatior
but steadily lowers the vital forces
1t is our observation that beer drink,
ing in this country produces the very
lowest kind ofinehriety closely allieC
to criminal insanity. The most dan
gerouS class Of rui1ians in our large
cities are beer drinkers.

The Business Outlook.

The business prospect continues to
improve. The silver question seems
to be the sole retarding influence, but
in spite of the uncertainty which it
begets the signs Of improvement are
constantly multiplying. The iron
trade is looking up and dry goods are
in growing demand, with tirmer
tone. The money market is more ac-
tive, and railroad earnings show an
improved tendency. Out Of 1888
wooden manufacturers III take a
hopeful view Of the outlook.
The general drift of trade reports is
encouraging. There has been an an
solute increase of nearly $4,000, 900 in
fifteen days of the present month in
loans by the New York banks, and it
is fair to surmise that a correspond
ing advance of credit is being made
in other cities. Still, it is not thought
prudent to count upon the certain
maintenance of the improvement.
Its continuance will depend largely
upon the realization Of the crop esti-
mates, The certainty ofan abundant
supply of our leading staples will
furnish a good basis for commercial
confidence, which is requisite for sus-
tanned activity in trade. Reports
from the country at large show firm
prices as a rule, better prospects,
more confidence, and expectation of
a good fall trade. The outlook ap-
pears to be brightest in the South, the
cotton crop of that section promising
remarkably well. Baltimore is likely
to fare as well in the expected i'm
provement as any of her sister cities,
and, if her merchants and nanutac-
turers watch their opportunities as
they should, she may come out ahead
of many of her rivals Baltimore

and shoes. This is specially noted At
the East at all the large cities. At
most Western centers this is reflected
in reports of a somewhat heavier
movement of merchandise and q
more hopeful feeling among mer.
chants.
Chicago states that North western
farmers are in a fairly satisfactory
position to make full purchases, but
the expected call for funds to move
the crops has not been felt there
The situation is rather better at the
South, where the bright cotton crop
prospects are encouraging interior

tains its late firmness. Purchases
are fairly liberal, and while many
buyers are very conservative in TAX
ing supplies, it remains true that
sales are heavier than at the like
period last year. Prices, however.
while firm, are unchanged.
In grocery staples the deliveries of
coffee and sugar are behind those of
last year. Dairy products are still
depressed, with a falling off in the
exports of cheese. Wheat Is dali iflid
weak and lower, Heavy stocks and
the light export demand are TIE
chief depressing influences. Indian
corn is moderately firm, with lght
stocks and small receipts. The
statement from the West that no Off
cial reports on the grain crops in
Minnesota have been made by the
Washington Bureau of late, owing,
as stated, to the lack of funds, opens
to inquiry the value Of the August
report on tbs extent of the damage
done to wheat in that region in July.
Our own advices, including those re-
ceived by wire yesterday, report a
greater amount of damage than had
been previously reported.
There is no improvement in actual
business in iron or steel. The few
new inquiries thus far have resulted
in no new business in pig iron. The
late orders from rail mills were from
Southwestern and Southern roads,
but the decision of rail manufactu-
rers to curtail production next year
points to the extent of the depression
in that line. There were 100 failures
in the United States the past week
as compared with 1872 the preceding
week.
PITpsBURG, August 1.-THE out
look in the iron trade has not been
more favorable for a number of years
than it is at present. Signs of i'm
provement are coming to the surface
every day, and manufacturers are
beginning to cOncede that the black
mantle Of depression is being gradu
ally lifted from the staple industries
Of Plttsburg. Orders are increasing
rapidly and many mills are running
on double time. One thing notice
able as result of the suspension OF
operations is the diminished stock Of
