THE DISTRICT FAIR.

On the 9th of the present month
the Second Eastern Oregon District
Agricultural association will hold its
first annual meeting in this city. This
will be the meeting of the representa-
tives of the five counties Of Wasco,
Gillian, Sherman, Morrow and Una
tilla, and we may expect large num-
Der of persons from each of these
divisions of the state. The present
convention promises to be the most in
teresting ever held, and we hope our
citizens will do all they can to make
it successful in every regard. There
is no question that annual meetings of
agricultural societies are the best edu-
Gators we have, and have the effect
to stimulate Industry in every branch.
The farmer realizes what can be done;
the mechanic what has been accom-
plished In his department, and the
artisan the different improvements
which have been made. Aside from
these the interchange of ideas is very
beneficial to all concerned. By seeing
what others have done one learns what
can be done, and almost without ex-
ception, profit by the lesson.
The fair held in The Dalles this
year will give large number of cash
premiums, and this will be an incen-
tive to our farming population to be
present. Competition is welcomed in
all branches Of industry, and it is
that all portions of the district |
will he represented. 1t is expec' ed
that each one in attendance will leave
The fair better informed in the branch
of industry he follows, whether
farmer, mechanic or artisan. By this
plan these annual exhibitions will be
mutually beneficial, and they will act

,pment.

rs IT FREE TRADE?

The ingenious method by which
Democratic newspapers attempt to ex-
plain their position, SO as not to bring
it within the scope IF either free-trade
or protection is truly amusing. Some
days ago we called our esteemed cotem-
porary, the East Oregonian-a paper
which we consider the best exponent
of Democracy in the state-to task
for its chameleon-like course on this
question, and in last Fridays issue it
has long article defending the stand
it has taken. After quoting our art
icle, it says:
"The TINES -MoUNTA1NEER must sure
ly be aware that the term free trade,
as used by the protectionist papers
with reference to the proposed DEM
ocratic policy, is falsehood on the
face of it."
Two or three paragraphs farther on
in the same article we find the follow
, ing:
"Of course it IS not free-trade, but
we expect the conscienceless protection
organs to 60 on terming it free-trade,
in hopes to keep the prejudices of un-
thinking people aroused. We would
be in favor of absolute and unqualified
free-trade, everywhere and in every
thing, if it were not necessary to raise
revenue for the support of the gov
ernment; and we hope the time may
come, and think possibly it may, when
the whole system of tariff taxation
may be annihilated. But as yet we
do not propose anything more than
such reduction as will reduce the
revenues to the actual needs of the
government"
The following paragraph from the
one just quoted says:
\ In other words, we are unalterably
and thoroughly opposed to any attempt
or design at "proteotion;" because it is
class legislation, favoritism, unequally
burdensome upon the poorer classes,
breeder of excessive wealth and whole
sale poverty. evil in its every operation
and result"
If this is not blowing hot and cold
on this question, we do not know
what it is, and the East Oregonian,
we believe to be the fairest exponent
of Democracy of any paper in the
state. In one place it Indignantly pro-
tests that it is not in favor of free
trade, and in few lines farther on it
says, 1--WE are unalterably and thor
oughly opposed to any attempt or de-
sign at .protection'" Metaphysically
speaking, there is no country in the
world absolutely following free-trade
policy. England is protected" in
some things, and always will be. Rev
enue is necessary for the support of
government, to be derived either by
tariff, by direct taxation, or the land

LATE NEWS.
A STATEMENT BY THE BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA statement
issued by the pension bureau says: In
July and August there were advanced to
pension agents on reQuisition $34, ,700,-
600, whfie the amount dis5ursed by
agents in the same months was $11, 1885,
600. More than half of these disburse-
meDts were in payment of cases allowed
in the preceding fiscal year, and not paid
then because of deficiency in the ap-
preparation, making it necessary 10 pay
these claims out of the appropriation for
the fiscal year. This accounts in every
particular for the apparent increase IN
the payment of pensions during July
and August.

LAFAYETTE, La, Sept. 11.--A bru tai
murder was committed on the Abbevlllc

mier, aged 60, was whipped by regulators
some months ago, and ordered to leave.
He failed to obey. Monday night thirty

the mob, who killed him IN the most bru-

ANOTHER WHITECHAPEL MURDER.
LONDON, Sept. 10-At $50 this morn
ing the police found the body of fallen
woman lying at the corner of the railway
arch, on Cable street, Whtechapel An
examination of the remains showed that
the head and arms had been cut off and
carried away, the stomach ripped open
and left lying on the ground.

no blood on the ground where the body

subsequently deposited under the railroad

bloody chemise was found near the body.
The arms are intact, but the legs are mis-
sing. 1t Is believed the woman has been

"sUNsET" cox Is DEAD.

NEW YORK, Sept. Congressman
''Sunset'' Cox died at 1888 o'clock this
evening. The end was quiet, and the
dying man breathed his last as peace
fully as if falling into light sleep.
Mrs. Cox, who has been scarcely away
from his bedside for the past two days
and nights, held his left hand while his
cd friend, Douglas Taylor, held the
other. He had been conscious all day
until about quarter of an hour before
the end.
Mr.. Cox's last conversation was about
the four territories, whose statehood he
hoped to father. He mentioned New
Mexico and Arizona, and said something
about making a great effort on their be-
half at the coming session.
In the afternoon, while DR.. Lockwood
was talking to him, Cox made some witty
remark, which completely upset the doc
tors dignity.
Late in the afternoon kilograms were
sent to Cox's three sisters, two of whom
live in GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and the other in
st. Louis.
Cox's nephew, who is superintendent
of the Smithsonian Institute, was also
telegraphed for.
DR.. Lockwood said the Immediate
C iuse of his death was heart failure, and
that the first cause was peritonitis.
Telegrams were sent to Sergeant-at
Arms of the House of Representative
Leedom, and to Speaker Carlisle.
