The Democracy Of Massachusetts

The Democracy Of Massachusetts
starts out very boldly in endorsing the
ever living principles of the party and
the platform of the Democratic ma
tional convention. The "eyer-living
principles" are hig sounding words,
but they are as false as they could be.
The party of which Mr.. Cleveland was
the leader in 1884 was not the party
of 1860 and subsequent years. The
principles contained in the platform of
1864 have been disavowed by every
prominent Democratic speaker in the
country, and the record for the last
few years is the only one to which any
reference is made. Instead of the
party being one of everything princi
Piles, it has been one of pretenses and
theories to catch nnthinking voters.
The lack of "living principles" sounded
the death knell of the party in the
new states last Monday, and until it
comes before the people upon broad
and liberal national platform it only
courts defeat.

Democratic papers are applauding
Gov. Pennoyer because he is attempt
ing to enforce the fish law against MIR.
I. H. Tafe, of Cello. 1t is com
mendable characteristic in the execu-
tive of a state to carefully watch the
enforcement of the statutory proyi-
sions against crimes which are NAHUM
in Sc or msazatm pohibitum; but our
Democratic contemporaries must know
that the governor while he is trying
to protect the salmon around the falls
at Cello has entirely failed to make
the least effort to protect his own fel-
low beings from crimes which are ram
pant in every city of the state. The
law against gambling and lotteries,
against selling or giving liquors to
minors, in favor of the observance Of
Sunday as a holiday and others are
violated almost every day, and some
under his nose at the capital of the
state, and still he makes no effort to
enforce them. If Gov. Pennoyer desires
to pose as model executive. he should
pay less attention to Taffe and the
salmon at Cello and more to the men
and boys of Oregon.

1t is questionable whether there can
exist lasting harmony between the de-
scendants of the Anglo-Saxon and
Latin races on this continent. The
institutions and traditions of these
races are far different, and the laws
and customs wide apart. But all ma
tions on this western continent are
interested in closer commercial inter
course, and the Latin and Saxon may
shake hands for this purpose. The
Pan-American congress is now in
session in Washington City with this
object in view. If a union for the
purposes of trade could be effected it
would be much better for all con-
cerned, and be tie means of segrega-
ting the republics Of America from
the monarchies of Europe. The con-
gress is to consider not only plans of
arbitration for the settlement of disa-
greements and disputes, and measures
for the conservation of the general
welfare of all the American states,

The cruel dealings of the Kansas
mob with Mrs. Edwards and her hus-
band should be warning to all mobs
who attempt by violence to right the
wrongs of a community. The wild
unthinking herd of rioters supposed
that the child of Mr.. and Mrs. Bloom
er had been murdered by the Ed
wardses, and after dealing with them
in a most brutal manner the girl was
found alive and we'll. Fortunately
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards were not
killed; but the leaders of mobs should
exercise some intelligence and discre-
ton and not attempt to punish a
crime before one is committed. The
better plan is always to allow the law
to take its course, and the peace of
communities will suffer less disturb
ances.

but also measures for the improve
ment cf trade relations between those
countries. Among the latter are
plans looking toward the formation OF
an American customs union and the
establishment of regular and frequent
inter- communication, of uniform
system of customs regulations, of a
uniform method of determining the
classification and valuation Of mer-
chandise, of a uniform system of in
voices, of a uniform system of weights
and measures, of uniform laws to pro-
tect patent rights, copyrights and
trademarks, and of a common silver
coin to be issued by each government
and to he legal tender in all CONNER
cial transactions between the citizens
of all the American states The out.
come of the deliberations of the con
sress will be awaited with interest not
only in the United States but in
Europe, where the project of the con-
gress las apparently excited some un,
easiness.

THE AMERICAN CONGRESS.

The delegates to the American con-
gress, soon to convene in this country,
are arriving in New York. Those
already here express themselves fully
in sympathy with the movement and
expect the most beneficial results.
Senior Zelapa, from Honduras, ex-
presses the sentiments of his nation
in this manner: "Our people are very
enthusiastic over this international
congress and expect many advantages
to result from it. We wish to develop
our mining and agricultural interests !;
but our mines are what we want to
see in operation as soon as possible.
We need railroads and an enlargement
of congress with foreign countries,
especially the United States. All
classes in our country need closer re-
lations with your people," England
and France have reaped rich har-
vest from these countries in former
years; but the time has come when
they desire trade intercourse with our
republic, and it is hoped the forth
coming American congress will more
firmly bind together the isolated ma
tions on the western continent. The
little countries in Central and South
America desire development of their
mining and other resources, and the
United States have sufficient surplus
capital to accomplish these objects.
England desires "dumLing" ground for
her surplus products, and while the
ports of South America are open to
her commerce, she will find it conve-
nient and profitable to take advantage
of them. If, as result of this con-
gress, the beauties of protection can
be shown these countries, the annual
outpouring of revenue into the Golfers
of London capitalists will cease, and
this money will be retained to impel
the growth and development of their
own Industries.

academy by Mr.. Geo. w. Childs.
Gen. Porter made the presentation
speech, which was an eloquent tribute
to the three great generals of the late
war. The exercises were held in the
presence of the international congress
and large number of visitors. A
more appropriate gallery for these
portraits could not he chosen than the
halls of the great military academy,
and these can but have stimulating
effect upon the minds of the military
cadets who have chosen the profession
of arms. Gen. Sherman, although the
senior of the three, was the only one
living. and this added to the effect of
his short speech on the occasion The
event will be a very memorable one to
all present, and will be treasured for
long years in the minds of the younger
portion. 1t is doubtful if three
greater military heroes than these
have ever lived in any age or in any
country, and the United States may
well accord them the highest praise.

In the River and Harbor improve.
ments Oregon is credited with receiv-
ing s4,152,3l2 and Washington with
only $7S.5OO. This will lead one to
infer that this state had received
nearly all the congressional appropria-
tlons, and that our neighbor had been
almost completely ignored. Washing;
.on is as much interested in removing
the obstructions to navigation in the
Colu mbia as Oregon, and the sums ex-
pended at the mouth of the Columbia
and at the locks at the Cascades have
heen for the benefit of both. An open
river is the great desire of the Inland
Empire, and this comprehends Oregon,
Washington and Idaho. The river
forms the boundary between the
two leading commonwealth in the
northwest, and its free navigation
would enhance the price of all
products grown in this vast
r.gion of country. When Washing
ton, with her two senator's and one
member of the lower house, is heard
in the halls of congress, she will give
forth no uncertain sound on this open
river question. And Idaho, in a few
years, will be admitted into the union,
and she will be as staunch friend to
the free navigation of the Columbia
river as any portion of the great north
west. The appropriations for the
improvement Of the Columbia river
have not been only for Oregon and
Washington, bu. for the whole north

If Englend is such bright and
successful example of free-trade, it is
strange that nearly every European
nation has opposed her economic pol
icy. Within the last few years France
and Germany have adopted the pro-
lection theory, and Holland has very
lately increased her duties on imports.
The Golden club, with all its smooth
sentences, is making few converts, and
it will take long time before its doc
trine of "peace on earth, good will to
men" will be popular.

When the New York and Chicago

When the New York and Chicago
papers decide upon the place to hold
the great exposition of 1892, some ac'
tivity will be developed in erecting
suitable buildings, etc., for the accom-
modation of guests, If tower is to
be erected which will overshadow the
Eiffel lone by 500 feet, it is almost
time that something should be done
towards its erection. New York is
the metropolis of the new world, and
Chicago is about the center of popu.
lation, and a live, active, enterpris-
ing city. The merits of both are well
known, and it will be difficult mat
ter to decide which should have the
preference.

1t is reported that Italy will expel
Kossuth from her domain because in
an address to the Hungarians he pro-
tested against Premier Tirza's TRADE
against France. This old gentleman
has passed the four-score milestone,
and his life has been a "troubled
stream" Now that he has but few
more years to live, and having spent
the best years of his earlier manhood
in desperate struggle for the inde-
pendence of his people he. should be
allowed to pass his last days in
peace,

The Utah commission has ascer-
tanned the incontrovertible fact that
Mormons, the same as other rellg-
lonists, accept revelations" as more
binding than the laws of the land.
This is not at all strange, and is in
harmony with the belief of almost all
demon nations. Religion must be su.
preme, if it answers the purpose of
dictator of the consciences of men,
and as sach its teachings are followed
implicitly by all lonest believers. If
Mormons bent Whit they consider
divine revelations to the level of hu-
man laws it would lie indisputable
evidence that they had little faith in
the teachings of Joe Smith or Brig
ham Young.

The Republicans have made no ma
tional nominations, although the
Democracy has been floating Cleveland
stock on the market for some time.
The N. Y. San says Mr.. G. will not
be nominated in 1892, and it is very
likely some other man would have
better chances of success. When the
time rolls around the Republicans
will meet in national convention and
nominate the president for the four
years succeeding, as they did in 1888.

OUR PROSPECTS.

Notwithstanding the severe drouth
of the past season, causing the crops
in the Inland Empire to fall below the
average, The Dalles has made more
Substantial progress than any year in
her history. Among the factors of
permanent development are a daily
paper, roller -four mill and electric
light Plant. A city cannot exist
without these, and since these have
been established our future is very
hopeful. A paper is the voice of the
community, and advertises the re-
sources of conntry and attracts cap
ital in a manner in which no other
agency can. The first inquiry of the
visitor is, Have you daily paper pub
lished in the city2 and its columns are
carefully scanned to see the businesses
represented and the future outlook of
the community. It is the consolidated
desires of the people, condensed in as
small space as possible, informing all
strangers of the resources of the coun-
try and what is necessary to develop
ment. Aside from this, it speaks of
the enterprise or lack of enterprise to
oil its numerous exchanges, and these
send them broadcast through distant
cities. Until. Mr.. Curtis erected his
roller mill our merchants sert thous-
ands of dollars every year to other
points to supply our citizens with
flour; but this has been stopped. We
manufacture as good brand of flour
here as can be purchased anywhere,
and Mr.. Curtis has paid the highest
price for wheat and attracted trade
to The Dalles This is factor
which will 40 doubt greatly increase
the facilities of this city as an agri
cultural center. When the lig hts
were first started, the citizens did not
understand their convenience; but
now they would not do without them
for any price. The enterprise of the
protector, Mr.. il. Glenn, was very
commendable, and we feel assured that
he viii be amply reimbursed for his
outlay. Aside from these as perma-
nent institutions of The Dalles, sew
eral expensive structures have been
erected which would be ornaments to
any city. The three-story brick block
of Mr.. Max Vogt, and opera house,
now nearly completed, ere edifces.
which warrant the substantial growth
of The Dalles. Mr.. Vogt will have
expended over $l5O,O0O in buildings
this season, very large sum for one
person, and every dollar of his wealth
has been made in our midst. Mr.. /. @.
Nickelsen is also erecting very hand
some two-story brick, for business
purposes. In every portion of the
suburbs beautiful residences have been
erected, and we have heard it estima-
ted by one of our contractors that over
$50O,000 have been expended in
bu liings this year. This is one year
of substantial progress for this point,
the gateway of the Inland Empire,
and next year we expect to see
further advancement. We should
have a new system of waterworks,
street railway and telephone sys-
tenn, and with the opening Of next
spring we believe these will be in
augurated.

Since the death of the great writer,
Wilkie Collins, it has been ascertained
that, like DeQuiLcy and Coleridge, he
was addicted to the opium habit, and
this has been heralded forth in the
press of the country. AS an excuse
for this habit it is stated that the nov
elist was constant sufferer from a
painful malady, and his only relief was
in the use of the drug. The failings
of great men make them mortal. and
people should take more delight IN the
virtues which they preached and prac'
ticed than in their vices.

1t is rumored that the county court
is considering the proposition of max
ing nominal levy, sufficient to pay
the state tax, and allow the county
Indebtedness to continue another year.
This is to be done because of the partial
failure of crops this year, and we think
will be approved by our Lest citizens.
The county has sufficient property for
creditors to wait one year, and we do
not believe this will depreciate our
script in the least. This will make it
easy on the farmers who have raised
short crops, and will be no burden on
the county. We hope at the next
session of the county court this plan
will be adopted by the judge and com.
missioners.

of grapes of all varieties, and this
fact could be turned to advantage in
the manufacture of wines. California
reaps a rich harvest in this product
every year, and we can see no reason
why Eastern Oregon cannot do the
same. Our soil and climate are
adapted to vine culture, and a little
attention paid to this matter would be
the means of starting an industry
which would eventually build up a
valuable export trade.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Den ocratic press cannot leave
Corporal Tanner alone. They can
never forgive the injury he has done
the party.
Kansas City is shipping hogs to
Mexico, and this promises eventually
to be quite renumerative, as during
the past month she has shipped 5000.
For years the Democrats in the low.
er house have kept the new territories
out of the union. The voters to NOR
row in the new state will not forget
their friends and elect the Republican
ticket by a rousing majority.
Among tile latest novelties in Paris
is Buddhist temple, with 300 COM
municants. The Partisan people must
have variety, and perhaps this Hindoo
religion will save them from inaugu-
rating the commune for few months.
The Democrats are claiming Mon
tana; but this will not be decided
until the returns are more complete.
With the two Dakotas and Washing
ton the Republicans should not be dis
couraged if Montana has elected one
or two Democratic state officers.
With Republican member of the
lower house and two senator's from
Washington during the coming ses-
sion of congress, we may expect lib
eral appropriations for the Columbia
river. These two commonwealths are
directly interested in opening this
great artery of commerce to the
people.
Nearly all great men in this age of
the world publish books; very few
edit papers. The former pays well
and appears to suit the desires of the
public. Gen. Butler is the last one of
our noted men who havo entered the
list as book-wrter. 1t will be forth
coming soon, and "sold only on sub
scription."
This year has been one of unusual
prosperity throughout the Inland En-
pire. The rich resources of the coun.
try have been developed, and capital
has been attracted to the northwest.
Another year will witness further
progress, as the country is only par
TALLY developed. and there are rich
lands waiting for occupants
A buxom widow of so bright and
sunshiny summers in Indiana has

decript the body may become the

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR,

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1.-The general execu-
tive board of the Knights of Labor began
session here today. General Master
Workman Powderly said that the session
was regular one. Referring to the re-
ports that people would bring charges
against him, he said that he had come
with his trunk full of papers bearing on
the great Southwestern strike, and stood
ready to answer all charges. He said
that he was opposed to the appointment
of Furlong as chief of the government
secret service. The reason is Furlong's
persecution of the men engaged in the
Southwestern strike, who were innocent
OF all wrong doing. His protest, he said,
Is made both as an individual and as the
spokesman of the Knights of Labor.
Tonight Powderly addressed q mass
meeting of local assemblies, and boldly
denounced his enemies
