An open river means growth and
unexampled prosperity for The DalIes.

Our salmon export has realized
thousands of dollars to those engaged
in the industry. Why not start a
woolen factory and save thousands of
dollars to the city annually.
Every city in Oregon. through its
board of trade or chamber of COM
merce, should demand a recount of
the population. We are entitled to
another congressman, and should not
be forced to wait another ten years
because of the negligence of census
enumerators.
Our senators in Washington City
have at last awakened to the fact that
the census in Oregon was not COM
plete, and should be retaken. But it
is very late now to cry over "spilled
milk, and our people will have to
stand the effect of the imperfect emu

The Salvadorians have penetrated
the Guatemalian country beyond the
possibility of retreat, and it appears
as though they will lie defeated and

The editor of the Albany Herald is
Democratic in politics, and nothing
else. No good, according to his ideas,
can come from any other organization.
He is opposed to Mr.. Blaine's ideas on
reciprocity, because he is Republi-
can, and, while carrying out the Mon
roe doctrine we express more sympa-
thy with the republics on the western
continent than with the monarchies
of Europe, he considers it an lndica-
tion of o narrow-mind. 1t is very
evident he would sympathize more
with the countries which the McKin-
ley bill would deprive of trade than
our own people whom it will benefit.
We do not wish to misstate our
worthy cotemporary; but such would
be the logical conclusion from the
position it has taken on tariff and re-
ciproeity. Of course, the Mckinley
bill is not perfect. 1t is almost i'm
possible to draft a bill on the tariff
question which would meet the re-
quirements of all classes in the diver
sified industries in this country. The
Mills bill had many mere imperfec-
tions, and if it ever became law
would have been ruinous to the coun>
try. The Republican party dictated
the policy of the nation for the past
twenty-five years, and its present
prosperity is largely due to the sound
financierlng of its leaders.

There is the silurlan representa-
tive even in many Puget sound towns,
and Oregon is not anomalous in this
respect. Very many of our citizens
differ regarding the treatment of these
mossbacks. Some say they should be
fed on sweetmeats and cajoled into
action; others, that bread and water
only should be given them until they
realize their position and relation to
the community. For our part, we con-
sider this apathy regarding public en-
terprise and improvements chronic
disease, requiring heroic treatment.
We believe the surgeons scalpel should
be used, and the diseased part severed
from the healthful. This is the only
way to save cities from the inertia of
lassitude, and stimulate them to
proper appreciation of their advan.
tages. The Dalles has been blessed
or cursed before onr time with news
paper men who only wrote about the
excellent climate and resources of the
city without the least reference to the
silurians who took no advantage of
chem. As natural consequence no
effort has been made to build
up our trade. Opportunities for
growth and development have passed
unheeded, and other towns have
reaped the advantage. Under these
circumstances we believe the heroic
treatment the best, and for this reason
we have for some time past painted
the citizens of The Dalles in their true
light, and we shall not apologize until
we see opposition boats on the river,

The murder Of tie Frederickson

The murder of tie Fredericksons
in Pacific county last January was
most brutal, and the perpetrators and
abettors Of the crime should Le pun
ished to the full extent of the law.
There have been several persons ar
rested for the commission of this
homicide, and on the confession of g
young man by the name of Rose, his
father,-George Rose-Edwards and
Gibbons have been placed on trial.
Last Saturday the jury returned a
verdict of murder in the first
degree against Edwards, which was
somewhat contrary to expectation
of counsel. 1t is not usually
fault with Oregon jurors that they
convict without sufficient evidence,
of the crime Of murder.
Before the jury Edwards was defended
by able counsel, and every point in
his favor brought out in evidence.
1t may be expected that this case will
be appealed and a new trial granted.
The others are yet to be tried, and
very likely the same verdict will be
There can be no doubt that
the jury believed the confession of
Rose, and rendered q conscientious
verdict; hut the quibbles of attorneys

facts, and undoubtedly these tactics

A German paper gives the railway
mileage of the world at 357, 400 miles,
an increase since 1884 of 64, 900 miles
In Europe there are $4,000 miles; in
America 100000 miles; in Asia H.
900 miles; in Australia 10000 miles;
in Africa, the Dark Continent, 5000
miles. Of the increase of 10000.
miles, which has been made in four
short years, no less than 10000 miles
was in America, and 10000 miles of
the increase was in the United States
alone. The number of locomotives in

MORTGAGES.

In very able editorial the Oregon
ian shows that according to Michi-
gan's statistics for 1888 the real estate
mortgages of that state amounted to
sl29,222,55S. Of this amount s64,-
| 392,5SO were on farms, and the an
nual interest charge was $4,636, 263.
The farms mortgaged are 47.4 per
cent. of all the farms in the state, and
the mortgage debt is 46.S per cent. Of
the assessed value Of the farms mort
gagged. The foreclosures made, were,
in that year 1867, aid only 131 re-
demptions made, leaving net loss of
1886 farms by foreclosure in one year.
This situation was described by the
commissioner when he said: "A very
large proportion of the people seem to
be in financial rut, and are unable
to extricate themselves" The sta
tistics for Indiana and Illinois justify
the conclusion that the volume of
farm mortgages has been increasing
for twenty years or more in both
states. The large gamers ultimately
by the foreclosures of western mort
cages are the great money loaning
fire insurance corporations of New
York and New England. The Con-
necticut Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, in its report Of January l, 1888,
states its net gains on the sales Of real
estate taken in foreclosure to that date
at S752,l75. The profit was chiefly
on Chicago property, and this COM
pany, it is predicted, Will realize at
least an equal profit on the realty now
owned by it in Indiana and Illinois.
The tribute paid to tn ese eastern in
surance companies may be gathered
from the fact that i'll 1888 five Con-
necticut companies owned $3,426,004
in Indiana real estate and So, al, ,249
in Illinois real estate. The annual
interest on the mortgage loans OF
these five companies was So, ,659, ,3O7.
In the three states of Michigan, In
diana and Illinois there is annually
paid S29,634,393 of interest on the
real estate mortgages, an enormous
drain of money from the mortgaged
territory, which represented three
states thet are rich in natural prod
ucts, fertile soil and well situated for
the acquisition of commercial as we'll
as agricultural wealth.
This naturally raises the question
whether insurance profits are not ex-
cessively large and why more COM
panies are not organized in the west.
The presence of farm mortgages has
been attributed to the tariff and other
causes, but it is not unlikely that high
rates of insurance have been one of
the causes that tend to keep the
farmer in debt. The farmers are
seeking relief in organizing farmers
mutual insurance companies.

The United States is now a big
nation, and estimates of the census
this year place the population at Co.

little more than a century ago with

Democrats are joyful because they
see indications in Republican ranks of
a rupture between Mr.. Mckinley and
his followers and Mr.. Blaine and his
adherents, in the controversy on the
tariff and tho reciprocity, and look
with great favor upon the course pur-
sued by the secretary of state. But
this turmoil will soon settle into the
usual calm between these two great
master minds of the party, for
Mr.. Blaine is too strong a pro-
tectionist to become convert

is too firmly attached to Republican

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. ga dispatch
from San Salvador says that General
Trungary, at the head of the Guatema!an
revolutionist, has taken Chiquemala, near
the capital. The loss of this place has
obliged tue Guatemalan government to
concentrate its troops toward the capital.
A GuatemaIan dispatch says it Is untrue
that an attempt was made to assassina te
President Barillos, and denies that the re-
volution is of importance
The dispatch also says that Minister
Misener's correspondence has not been
tampered with; that the minister has for
days been in free communication with the
United States government.
A special dispatch from Guatemala says
that the diplomatic crops has offered to
negotiate in the interests of peace, that the
offer has been accepted and that 1t is now
expected a settlement will be arranged
within a few days. President Barillos
says he will not resign and prefers death
to surrender.
Dispatches received by the Mexican
government confirm the report of the
probability of tie intervention of foreign
diplomats in Central Amenca. Presi-
dent Ezeta's only terms are the recognl.
of bis government and the non interven-
of other powers in the interior govern
ment of Salvador.

place him where he could not make
expiation for a deed of madness or
passion. The human family is very
much alike, and place the best man
under some circumstances and he may
resort to the most desperate means.
There are murderers at heart as well
as in act, and the foul 6end who fol-
lows his victims to the extreme of per-
secution IS as much, before God and
man, guilty of murder as he who, in
the heat of madness, plunses knife
into the heart of his victim. This
may not be biblical, hut the Bible was
written for the early ages of the world,
and fulfilled its purpose. There is no
court in this or any other civilized
country that would take an eye for an
eye or a tooth for tooth. The rigors
of the old law are mitigated by
the divine precept Of the great
teacher, where he said, when the
woman was taken In the act Of
adultury-the punishment for which
according to the old Jewish law
was death by stoning-let him who is
without sin cast the first stone.
Hanging, teheading, electrocution, for
murder is contrary to the sense of the
century, and the time is not far dis
tant when punishment for crime will
be reformation and not revenge.

AN AWFUL EXPLOSION.

DENVER, Aug. 5-Another explosion
occurred here this evening, with results
probably more fatal than the one of yes
terday. At 0 o'clock j. D. Gorrell, clerk
in W. A. Mltchelps pharmacy at the cor.
ner of Twenty-thIrd and Welton streets,
went down into the cellar for some goods.
On reaching the foot of the stairs he
struck match, when instantly six 10
gallon cans of benzine exploded with
terrific force. The entire front of the
building was blown Into the street, and
customer standing by the door was hurled
some twenty teet and badly bruised and
cut. Gorrel was blown out OF the cellar
by the explosion and escaped by the rear
door ln some miraculous manner He
was found few minutes later standing
IN the alley in demented condition from
his burns, which were fearful. He was
taken to the hospital. where his body was
one great blister, some of the flesh ad-
her,ng to his clothes when removed. His
recovery is doubtful. Just before the ex-
plosion two little girls came into the
store and purchased soda water, but it is
believed they lett just in time to save
their lives. The building took hre I'M
mediately, and the entire fire department
was on the ground promptly. When it
arrived the walls were standing, but be
gan to totter soon afterward, and sec
ond later tumbled to the ground, mass
OF broken timber and brick. This was
so sudden that the fremen were unable
to get to place OF safety, and three were
caught in the ruins. Fireman Patsy
Gallagher had both hips broken and is
injured internally. Charley Craig, driver
for Chief Pierce, had both legs broken
and was badly cut and bruised. The
other, though severely, is not seriously
injured. On the second floor of the
building were number of roomers, and
it is feared some of them while attempt
ing to escape were caught in the falling
building and crushed to death in the
ruins. The fire was extlnguished within
half an hour after the arrival of the de-
partment, and large force of men are
now at work clearing the debris. 1t is
known that all employers of the store
with exception of Gorrel escaped. Mr..
Mitchell is now in New York city. Cor
rell's people reside in Payne Ohio.

LEGAL KILLING.

Scientists and humanitarians are
exercised over the problem whether
Kemmler died painless. If the object
of the nineteenth century is to make
death as painless as possible why not
abolish capital punishment, and do
away with the barbarous method of
an eye for an eve, a tooth for tooth,
and killing the man who takes human
life. There is no humanity in any
process Of Judicial murder, and it SIM
ply puts q check upon advancement.
Kemmler was the calmest of any one
present at the time Of his electrical
killing; but if he realized that life
would have been a hardship the effect
would have been different. The pres
ent punishment for murder savors of
revenge, not of reformation. To cut
a mans head off because he has killed
a felIow-being, to hang him until he
is dead, or to kill him by throwing
the power of an electrical dynamo is
the same. It is simply taking a life
IN retaliation for murder, and does
not work the purpose of civilized
legislation. Such acts are not in har-
,nony with the advancement of the
age, and does not lessen crime. When
governments hanged for sheep steal

crown, and burned to the stake for |

they arc now. Deprive a man Of his

paid $l70 month to the metropoli-
