There Is a great agitation in the
Democratic camp over the Federal
election biIl, and the press of the party
are making loud and long protests
against its passage The object of the
bill is to insure fair elections, and we
can see 20 reason why any person who
desires the ballot to be the free ex-
preston of the people should oppose
the measure.

The River and Harbor bill is
again postponed for the Mckinley
tariff measure. Every city interested
in an open river should signify their
desire for an early consideration of
river and barbor appropriations, as
this ID absolutely necessary for con-
tinaation of the work. For the past
year the funds have been nearly ex-
hausted, and public improvements
have been at a stand-stili. The jetty
at the mouth of the Columbia csn be
continued with the extra $4,000
appropriated during the present ses-
sion; but the Cascade locks will al
most be abandoned if the River and
Harbor bill is not passed. Portland,
Astoria and every city in Eastern
Oregon is directly interested in open
ing the Columbia river, and some
action should lie taken urging the i'm
portance of continuing this work upon
the Oregon delegation.

1t is not pleasant or agreeable to
reflect on what might have been, in a
moral or business SENSE. But such
reflections will usually be INDUCED in
at times If disaster or in hours of de
spondency, and during the present
stage of commercial depression in this
state 1t may point g Lesson for the
the. future to glance backward.
The Dalles has always been trad
ing point since the first settlement
of Eastern Oregon. Its history dates
from time when Spokane Falls, FL
lensburgh, Baker City and Pendleton
were not known, and it had every ad
vantage to have maintained its
prestige. In the mining era of
the northwest every pound of freight
for the mines passed through
this city and found its way into
the interior by means Of boat,
wagon or pack train. Liter ON it was
the base of supplies for large sur
rounding country. As a matter of
course the advent of railroads ma
terially changed markets, and made
new ones But there is no doubt this
poin. could have retained considerable
OF this trade if pluck, energy and en-
terprise mad been exercised. The min
ing camps of Boise, Owyhee and Black
foot, in the very nature of things,
would have sought more accessible
base of supplies, whatever was done
to accommodate them. But if intelli-
gent enterprise had been exercised in
the improvement OF roads to the in
terror. in utilizing the Columbia river
as highway of commerce, and in CEN
tralizing at this point manufacturing
industries, there would have been at
fractions toward The Dalles which
do not now exist. Coming to a
more recent date, if the roads to Can
yon City, Prineville and other portions
had been improved these towns would
not now be looking elsewhere for o
point at which to trade. Still more
recent, if reports are true, the railroad
shops could have been retained, and
on a much larger scale. We might
continue and point out many other
incentives to trade and natural oppor-
tunities for growth which have been
neglected in the past, but these will
suffice our purpose. Every business
man knows the condition of affairs at
present, and the urgent necessity. of
something being done. We have been
dealing with contingencies in the past,
and must mark out some for the
future An open river is all import
ant, and the effort now nearing ma
turity should meet unanimous sup
port from all men who have property
interests in the city. Water, as a
factor of health, and as protection
against fire, is absolutely necessary.
A new supply should be lnaugurated,
: and this IN the quickest possible time
and at the least expense. The city is
now paying SIC day on the $780,
900 paid for the water bonds. Fac
tories should be inaugurated, and rail.
roads built to the interior. If these
contingencies happen, and the bitter
and disastrous factional fights cease,
The Dalles of the future will be pro-
gressive and prosperous. If not, we
shall lose trade annually, and other
points will leave US far behind.

The editorial ASSOCIATION, which
meets in Portland Aug. 18th and
18th, promises to be the most interest
ing Of any vet held. Portland, in her
generosity, has prepared royal en-
tertalnment for the editors of the
state, and no doubt will exteno to
these knights Of the quill a most cor
dial welcome. There are no workers
in any field which requires brains end
ju Jgment who are entitled to as much
credit as editors. While lawyers de-
fend or prosecute nisdeweanors and
crime with an eye single to the amount
of the fee received, editors battle
against the wrocg and defend the
right with no expectation of pecuniary
reward. In his argument before a
jury the language of the lawyer may
soon be forgotten; whatever the editor
says in his columns is read and re-
ferred to frequently, and there is no op-
portunity for him to retrace what per-
haps in moment of haste he gave to The
composltors. The fat things of earth
are given to the barrister, and the
poor overworked pencil pusher, if he
is conscientious and aggressive, make
bitter enemies and receives the kicks
and cuffs of those who should be his
friends. It is natural that these
brain-toilers should look forward to q
recreation with joyful anticipation,
and the meeting in Portland will be
one Of rest and recuperation. There are
over one hundred newspapers IN Ore
gon, and majority Of these will be
represented. With such number of
eongenial spirits there must be har-
mony and convivial feeling.

How often do we see this on the faces
of children and, alas, of people who other
wise are healthy? What causes it? Bad
Blood. The thought is terrible; the
trouble is worse. No ordinary help can
remove it. 1t requires something un-
usual. Do not take cheap sarsaparillas
or blood purifiers. You must have some-
thing that has proven its power in both
Europe and America. General Wheat
croft Nelson, of London, says: "My
experience in the English army, as well
as in America, convinces me that nothing
so thoroughly purifies the blood, or adds
to the health, vigor and life, as DR..
Acker's English Blood Elixir"

in all parts of America. 1t is a good,
pure, honest medicine. Try it to-day.

Corbett Has Wired to New Orleans to
Match Him Against Davis.
The Olympic Clubs boxing tournament
will not have as many entreis as the club
expected few weeks ago. The Olympians
who have been taking lessons with the
avowed intention of competing against all
Corners are, seemingly, not satisfied with the
handsome medals which the club had speci-
ally ordered made for this tournament. The
young Olympians of to-day are not as easily
pleased as the Olympians Of eight or ten
years ago.
In We olden days the boys did not ask
what the value of this or that medal was.
1t was not the intrinsic value of the prize
they cared for, but the honor attached to
winning it that interested them most. How
different are the young amateurs Of to-day.
They grumble unless they are assured that
the first prize is equivalent to S100in money.
At least calculation the medals now given
by the Olympic Club for Thursday even
ing's boxing contests are as handsome as
any ambitious amateur boxer would desire
to contest for.
They do not, however, seem to please the
Olympians of to-day, and as consequence
the entries from the club are very few in
deed. The outside clubs are fairly well
the Lurline. Acme and Alpine clubs will
carry off the majority of the prizes.
This evening the Athletic Committee of
the club will meet to make final arrange
ments for the boxing tournament. On

says there will be several very interesting
matches. The professor Will soon instruct
his pupils in style of wrestling KNOWN as
collar and elbow.

There were scenes of activity at the head
quarters of the Reform Democrats, in the
Arcade Building, last night. Hundreds of
men poured in and out of the rooms up to a
late hour, and big bundles of ballots were
sent to various sections Of the city. All the
leaders Of the anti-Buckley men were in at
tendance and gave additional and final in
structions TO the $40 strong-armed men en-
gagged TO defend the interests of the party at
the polls to-day.
The reformers have received information
that Gar Christopher has instructed GER
tain bruisers to assault ballot distributors
and, if possible, drive them from the polls
at various places south of Market street. AT
several polling places, where trouble is
most likely to occur, the force of guards will
be increased from two 20 dozen if it is
found necessary to do SO. AT midnight all
the details for a stubborn resistance of
Buckley's thugs had been completed and
the men assigned to their various posts.
The wagons of the party from which such
telling speeches against Buckleyism were
made during the past month were backed up
in front of the headquarters last night. The

attention, especially those saying "Down

Buckley Heelers Getting Ready to Annoy
Legal Voters.


The Republican State Central Committee
has been informed that the Buckley Demo-
Gratis intend pursuing the same tactics that
they pursued before the Election Commits
sion. Then and there they cited hundreds
of citizens, mostly laboring men, bringing
them from their work, who were thus con-
PEELED TO lose day or lose their vote
The result was that out of the hundreds
cited not over dozen were stricken from
the Register, and half Of them were inno-
cent of any attempt at wrong doing, as
they inadvertently had moved from one pre-
cinct to another.
Now they propose at the polls to renew
this system of vexatious wholesale chal-
longing. All voters should be on their
guard. Honest voters are To be annoyed
and delayed, while Buckley suffers are to
be permitted to vote without obstruction.
Ii the attempt is made to arbitrarily rule
out the honest vote of any citizen. an ap-
peal can be had at any time during the day
by applying to the Bureau of Election Com
missioners, at the new City Hall, and the Re-
publican election officers are especially in
formed that all inspectors and judges are
