ment, and consideration of the needs
of the poorer people; bu: he wants an
army of bayonets behind him. The
amelioration of the wage-ea-ners
must be accomplished by the reich
stagg under his dictatlon; but not by
a united effort among the subjects
themselves. To temporize with strik-
ers, according to his idea, is to aim a
vital blow at the stability of gov
ernment. Their grievances may be
considered in the parliament elected
by his dictation; but not otherwise.
1t is very evident the young emperor
has very different ideas, and Is willing
to discuss matters with representative
of labor organizations. 1t may be
that the young emperor has some of
the kindness of his family toward the
poor, as Kossuth surmises; or he
may be preparing tor the approaching
storm and is attempting to swim with
the tide. Be this as it may he can
but miss the good counsels of the
wise and veteran statesman, and the
wisdom of experience may be better
than the enthusiasm and generosity of
youth in dealing with drilled soldier
subjects and military empire. What
effect it will have on Europe is yet
to be seen. The turbulent Franks
may attempt to settle old scores, and
the Russian autocrat may consider 1t an
orportune time for increasing his po-
sessions; bu. the soldiers of the en-
pire are well disciplined and have an
intense love of faderland. Our coun-
try is isolated from the monarchies of
the old world, and we shall patiently
await developments without any great
anxiety as to the result.

PRINCE BISMARCK.

Bismarck has resigned the premier
ship of the German empire, and the
portfolio has fallen to the lot of a
military man. Every careful student
OF the growth of the empire Uf the
German people for a number of years
has seen in every movement the genius
of the great statesman. He has saved
the empire from foes within and with
out many times, and was the one man
in Europe who could make military
monarchy successful and popular.
With all the faults of their native
land there cannot be found more
loyal people to faderland than the Ger
mans, who claim citizenship in every
country under the sun. Although
Bismarck alleges his old age as the
cause of his resigning his official trust.
there can be no doubt that the moving
cause was the late attraction towards
the Socialist party of the young and
inexperienced emperor. There Is no
man in Europe who knows as well as
Prince Bismarck how much govern
ment can indorse in this reformatory
movement and still maintain its stand
ing as an unlimited monarchy. His
love CT country is far above his per-
sonal ambition. and he has erected the
greatest military empire since the
time Of the Caesars, and he did not
wlnt to be responsible for its ruin.
The Socialists in Germany demand
a free, constitutional government, and
tn " will net lie satisfied with any
thing less than this. Emperor Will
lam, with young and generous blood
in his veins, may cajole the turbulent
masses into quiet state for time;
but the storm cloud is gathering, and
will break with full fury sooner or
later. The German people move
slowly, but surely. They are think
ers, and every act Is one dictated by
cool and considerate judgment. The
leaven of republicanism has been
working for years among the people,
and the effect is discernible everywhere.
1t has peryaded the universities, the |
working classes and in some instance
tie officials. True, Bismarck is in
{ .vor of the paternslism of govern ]

No one can deny the, right of any
person acting as his conscience die
tates, or in tie manner which he
thinks best suited to the Welfare of his
country or of society IN general. This
is the very essence Of freedom, and
the basis of all free government.
But as means to accomplish de-
sired end it is not wise at all times for
citizens to sever their allegiance from
any political party, because certain
measures are advocated which are not
in harmony with individual IDEAS, if in
the main the party or organization
conform to what are considered the
best policy of government. 1t cannot
be expected that any new party will
immediately march forward to victory,
and the. small desertion from the
ranks may be sufficient to insure sue
cess to the organization which is dia-
metrically opposed to the opinions en-
tertained 10y the dissatisfied members
The farmers, 10 doubt, who met at
Eight Mile yesterday are honest men
and good citizens; but their notions
on the matters of finance and other
subjects of national Importance may
not have stood the test of practical
experience, while the policy pursued
by the Repu blican party on these great
and vital issues have proved success
full IN the most terrible ordeal through
which the republic has passed in her
eventful history of more than a hun
drea years. The grievances of the
farmers could have been remedied in
the old parties without resorting to
any heroic treatment. and by the
method adopted they will accomplish
no good result to themselves or to the
community.
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1890-03-22

The new party which was formed
last Friday at Eight Mile, among
other plahks in .heir platform, adopted
one which declares in favor of ire
vision of the tariff in such a manner
as to enable producers to receive a
just and reasonable compensation for
their labors." We are at loss to
know what our farmer friends mean.
No law of the United States can con-
troll the price Of wheat in Liverpool or
any other market, local or otherwise.
While grain is grown on the shores of
the Black sea, in India and Egypt,
the price will be governed by supply
and demand. Protection has done
everything possible to create home
demand by building up various indus
tries, which have created large army
of consumers and attracted labor from
cultivation of the soil. Nothing more
can be done by free-trade or protec-
tion.

St. Patrick, whose birth is cele-

St. Patrick, whose birth is cele-
brated Monday, was great and good
man. Born somewhere on the Clyde,
in the latter part Of the fourth CEN
tury, when aboat Is years Of age be
was captured by the Picts and Scots
in one of their inroads into Britain,
and sold as slave to the neighboring
Irish. He escaped after few years
and fled to Britain, where he lived
among his kindred. Early In life he
received Christian training, and dur
ing all his years of slavery he was
steadfast to his religion. Becoming
acquainted with the peculiar Irish
people by long years of personal asso-
citation, he was especially adapted to
missionary labor. After preparing
himself for the work he undertook the
difficult task, and was elninently sue
cessful. TIE chiefs and common peo-
pie fockel tc the standard of the
cross, and ireland became the first and
foremost Christian country in north
ern Europe. There is SO much of
the life of this great man mixed
with legend that no historian
has attempted to write his biogra-
ply in detail; but that he
was imbued with the Christ-like
spirit, and followed wherever
he considered the path of duty led
him has never been doubted. 1t is
also an acknowledged fact that from
his preaching great good resulted in
civilizing the savage spirit of lar
barous people, and that the seed thus
sown bore abundant fruit the history
of that island will verify. From the
time St. Patrick first lnstilled the
Christian doctrine into the island
until the present, the coun-
try has been fruitful in religious
deyotees. The peculiar temperament
of the people was adapted to these
Influences, and no country can boast of
more enthusiasm in such matters than
the little island west of Britain. In
choosing Patrick ss the patron saint
the Irish people selected one in whom
was exempli6ed the highest virtues,
and if not native, he nevertheless
devoted the best years of his life to
the amelioration of the race.

OPPOSITION TO RAILROADS.

We are somewhat surprised that a
railroad to the interior meets with
opposition from some of our business
men, and the old obsolete arguments
against railroads in general and i'm
proved machinery are again brought
to the surface. Such arguments have
been demonstrated to be fallacious in
numberless instances all over the
country, and it is unnecessary to re-
fute them. There can be no doubt
that railroads are great factors of de-
velopment, and that The Dalies with
one or more brauch roads into the
surrounding country would double its
population and wealth in short time.
We have several instances Of the de-
veloping power of railroads in the
northwest, in which small towns have
grown to large cities in few years.
The fact is patent to every observer,
and no Llace is better situated to reap
the benefit of quick and direct means
of communication than this city.
Flowing past our doors is the
Columbia river, which, for the
amount of excessive freight charges
that have been paid every year
for the past twenty-five, could be
opened Iy a Peoples Transportation
company; Goldt ndale is anxious for
railroad communication, and will meet
US half way in building the road, and

wealth of cereal productiosn-are look.
ing towards The Dalles for an outlet.
This is our golden opportunity, and If
properly appreciated, within the next
ten years this city will be the metrop-
oils of the Inland Empire, and second
to none east of the Cascade mountains.

The ideas of advertising by a cor

The st. Paul papers still persist in call

Northwest Notwithstanding the fact that
three of the finest states, and one rich
territory are huddled up ia the extreme

editors of those papers should take tour
in this country, just to see how large and
how wealthy the real Northwest is. They
would then soon realize the inevitable,

Hon. Binger Hermann has a most

Hon. Binger Hermann has a most
difficult part to perform in engineer
ing bills through the house which have
already passed the senate. Our sem
ators have done well, but they have
had a much better field in which to
work than anJ member of the lower
house. In the senate each state he's
equal representation, and Oregon has
as many votes as New York; but this
is much different in the house. Ore
gon has only one representative, while
New York has "a, and it is easily un-
derstood how the Riyer and Harbor
bill is always the bone of contention.
The west and southwest are strongly
in favor of liberal appropriations for
public improvements; but the east is
violently opposed to any such expend-
iture. New York cares little for the
one vote of Oregon if she can secure
the cooperation Of Pennsylvania and
the other large states. For these rea-
sons, if Mr.. Hermann succeeds in Sc
curing the passage of the public build
ing bill in this city and liberal
amount for the locks at the Cascades
and the boat railway above this point,
he will have accomplished an herculean
task, and will be entitled to much
more credit than either of the senat.

cHERoKEEs CHOKING WITH RAGE.

ST. LOUIS, March 1s.-A Republic spec
ial from Tahlequah says that the Chero
KEGS are terribly incensed over the lnva-
sion of the strip. Talk on the streets and
at the state house is all of one kind, de-
nunclation of the boomers, but the blame
for it is laid upon President Harrison.
They attribute the invasion largely to the
presidents proclamation expelIing cattle
men flom the strip, and it isevident that
prospects for settlement of the strip ques-
tion are not so bright as they were d week
ago. The full bloods are especially ex-
cited, and it is said they are holding secret
meetings denouncing the raid and con l..
demning the Republican party for the
course taken In dealing with the cattle
men.
No Information has been received as to
the damage done by the boomers, but u
demand will he made on the United States
government for large sum to cover the
injury to the grazing land.

vance of per cent on July /. Many
more mine owners in Noitinghamshire
