ARE WE AWAKE?

Albany papers have no! yet grown
tired Of informing US that We will be
able to ship our wool to that city next
summer by ,ail. We earnestly hope
that we shall do that very identical
thing. No kick coming on that score.
But you've only five months to get
ready for US. Our great wool clip
will he ready for shipment by the
middle of next June.-IrineriHe
Neacs.
You can calculate on sending your
wool to The Dalles by wagons for the
next two or three years, and in that
time we hope to help you out by
means of a railroad from this city to
the interior of Grant county.-TIMEs-
MoUNTAINEER.
We concede that branch road out
this way would he as good route as
could b. built for traffic, but unless
The Dalles people or the Portland peo-
pie bes.ir themselves, this country In
question will not be tributary to The
Dalles OF Portland. Yaquina and
Tacoma will divide the patronage be-
fore The Dalles wakes up, if she in
tends deferring it for two or three
years. Within that time there will
be many miles of railroad in the Cen
trail E.npire.-Fcssit JOURNAL
The above excerpts from the inter-
ior press show that the people desire
quick transportation to seaboard, and
if our citizens do not afford them the
facilities they will look elsewhere.
We should not depend on the govern
ment any longer to open the river;
but, as soon as spring opens, Legin the
formation Of partnership for placing
opposition boats on the Columbia.
AS soon as the project is begun, As
toria, and perhaps, Portland, will
come forward and help US, for they
are directly interested in cheap
route to seaboard. The problem of
hard times and the development of
our resources can be easily solved by
taking hold of this matter in busi-
ress-like manner. An opposition boat
and utilizing the portage at the Cas-
cades will not cost to exceed $40, 900,
and narrow gauge railroad to the
interior of Crook and Grant counties
perhaps 100000. Our capitalists
can give sufficient security for &c.
100000, and if we feel at all in
terested in the matter we can raise
fund of 5000, ,0GO for such important
enterprises as these II movement
is made in these matters we can as
sure our business men that in less
than two years The Dalles will be the
second city in Oregon. If not all the
advertising we can do will benefit US
hut little. Realizing the importance
of doing something to help ourselves,
favored by situation as We are for q
great interior commercial and manu-
featuring denter, action for our best
should not lie delayed. If
we desire to grow and prosper, some
thing must be done to reap the har-
vest from, our advantages; if not, let
US wall in our city and say to the
world we are satisfied with our present

ly in favor of protection, and as strong
free traders can be found in the ranks
Of the Republican party. The Mills
bill was the natural outgrawth Of the
tendency to free-trade in the south,
and for that reason placed on the free
list wool-the staple product of the
west and northwest lessened the
tariff on sugar, only produced in any
considerable quantity in Mississippi
and Louisiana. Before the war the
south was almost entirely devoted to
the culture of cotton, and was inter-
ested more in free ports for raw ma
terial than in any kind of protection
for home industries. This induced the
confederate congress to place the pro
hibitory clause on tariff in its consti-
tuition. But when the Mills bill is at
tackled democrats say Texas is wool
growing state. This is true, in
measure; but it is also true that there
are other interests in that state, and OF
more vital importance. Protection Is
simply what it means, and when
tariff ceases to be this, it should be
abolished. If ju1e cannot be raised in
the United States, it is useless to keep
the tariff on the Imported article. But
we believe it can and will be raised in
sufficient quantities to supply the de-
mand. The aim of the tariff Is to
make the country self-supporting, and
to keep as much money in circulation
as possible. We believe in the doc
trine in national, state and municipal
affairs, and consider it the only safe
one that can he followed in this or any
other free country lacking develop

The Dalles is trying to work up a
little enthusiasm aid get some enter
prise at work. She could do no bet
ter, as starter, than to organize q
company to navigate the middle Col
umbia and haul the surplus grain to
market.-Ast0rian Pioneer.
We have been talking matter this
through the columns of the z. N. for
the past ten years, and believe the
only way to advertise the city is to
take advantage Of the grand oppor-
tunities which nature has placed with
in our reach.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The vivaeity of young blood has the
commendable ambition to reform the
world. When they get old their only
desire is to reform themselves, and in
this they frequently fail.
The secretary Of state, Hon. James
G. Blaine, will keenly feel the loss of
his favorite son, Walker Blaine. He
was possessed of a great portion of his
fathers bright intellectually, and
promised to make future for himself
which would add honor to the family.
This season is reported very disas-
trous to cattle in many parts of
Eastern Oregon; but the fall of snow
indicates good crops next summer,
and the farmers are satisfied. The
drouth last season was the first one
experienced for nearly forty years,
and we may not have another failure
for that length Of time.
The dispatches say the work on the
Panama canal is in good condition.
Perhaps NJ. De Lesseps may keep the
work in progress until completed.
Because of this possibility the United
States should hurry up the work OF
the Nicaragua canal, and make this
the first connecting link between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The pride of the Anglo Saxon race
is at stake in the Sullivan Jackson
fight in San Francisco, which is to
take place IN that city soon, for
purse of $4,000. We are not par
ticularly preiudiced in favor of the
colored race; but if boil, of these men
would be SO badly injured. that they
could never fight again, 1t would be a
blessing to the country.
Hon. Binger Hermann, by a clever
legislative movement, has engineered
a bill through the house for an appro
priation of $4,000 for the continue
ton of jetty work at the mouth of the
Columbia. We are glad to hear this;
but would feel more rcjoiced if Mr..
Hermann had procured at the same
time an appropriation for the contin-
nation of the work on the locks at the |
Cascades.
Nihilism is coming close to the Gear,
and the telegraph reports the suicide
of some Of his body-guards by reason
Of them being implicated in attempts
on his life. The sentiment of educated
Russia cannot be throttled much
longer. and the time IS approaching
when Siberian exile and other barbar-
tiles of this northern country will he
abolished. Russia is yet destined to
AXE her place among the progressive
nations of the world.
The coming season In Eastern Ore
ron will be one of enterprise. This
portion of Oregon is becoming well
known, and our resources for every
hing that goes to build up fourishing
;ities are not equalled by any distr;c. in
he state. The tide of prosperity will
70 at flood tide, and it is only necessary
o take it at the flow to ride on
o prosperity. WILL tie people of The
oalles be prepared for the emergency.

The Afro. Americans are takin

The Afro-Americans are taking
measures for their own protection. As
far as nationality is concerned, they
are as good Americans as any.
Nearly all were born in this country,
and know no other. During the civil
war they fought for their freedom,
and are entitled to it by every rule of
honesty and justice. In this free
country we cannot adopt the old Spar
tan plan Of making portion of our
citizens helots and the remainder free
men With full privilege. All must,
and will be free, with equal rights.

The present season seems to be the
most disastrous Of any for several
years past. Locomotives have been
disabled and railroad men killed and
injured, and the line is still blockaded.
The company, we believe, has done
everything possible to keep the road
open, but the difficulties have been
almost insurmountable. The road
passes through almost insuperable
barriers, and it is almost impossible
to run trains on schedule time during
the winter season.

The Southern Pacific in the Siski.
yoa mountains has a more difficult
time in maintaining an open track
than the Union Pacific road in
the Blue and Cascade mountains.
A large force of snow shovelers are
constantly at work, and every contriv.
ance is being put to work to keep the
snow from the track. This is un-
doub.edly the winter of their discon-
tent, but these companies will make
up their losses when gladstone sum
mer" comes again With its army of i'm
migrants and vast quantities of freight.

@rongfally when it says that we advo-

The assessors convention, which is
called to meet in Portland February
1lth, may accomplish considerable
good in formulating bill for the
equalization of valuation Of property
in this state. The motive of Gov
ernor Pennoyer in issuing the call was
very commendable, and we hope the
assessors in convention will adopt
some plan, apd that the next session
of the legislature yill pass bill in
conformity thereto.

The appropriations for rivers and
harbors will be left until the last davs
of congress; but this is o mistake.
The public works have nearly ex-
hausted the public money of the last
session, and without funds these i'm
provements will be forced to lie idle.
This is false economy. The improve
ment of our rivers and harbors should
be continued until the works are com.
pIeted, and i'll the end it would be
much cheaper and cost less to the gov
ernment. The people greatly desire
to have every opportunity of using
the natural channels of trade with the
easiest facility, and every cent spent
for this purpose is for the public good.

We are informed that the railroad
track through the Blue and Cascade
mountains is in worse condition than
it has ever been known to be. A
train with passengers or freight may
be wrecked at any point without a
moments warning. The Union Pa
oifc is using herculean efforts to keep
the road open, but this is almost i'm
possible. With an open river to the
sea, it would be as certain a means of
transportation as any, and for this
reason we shall work faithfully and
earnestly to have congress give US the
necessary appropriations for removing
the distractions to navigation in this
great natural highway to tidewater.

The south is making movement to
make permanent the rule of the white
man, and we copy the following from
an eastern exchange: ''The Mississ-
ippi state senate proposes to memoir
alize congress, asking for the abroga-
ton of the fifteenth amendment to the
federal constitution ard to instruct
the Mississippi delegation in congress
to vote tor the repeal of that amend
ment giving negroes the right to vote.
Governor Hill and Senator German
ought to make visit to Mississippi in
the interest of universal suffrage and
against Australian ballot methods. ="
The senate will never pass any bill
in this regard. The amendments to
the constitution made necessary by
the exigency of war will always remain.

Iowa is experiencing some features
CT the Democratic obstruction policy.
The honse stands so to 5O, with no
pro. pect of a break in the deadlock,
and until organization is effected moth
ing else can be done. The legislature
is expected to elect the successor to
Senator Allison, and the way affairs
looks the governor-who is Demo-
crat for the first time for thirty years
have the appointment, In
which case a Democrat would repre-
sent Iowa in the senate of the United
States. This would not be voicing
the sentiment Of the people of the
state, and the blame rests at the door
of the fanatical prohibitionists.

Judge Smith Rules That There Is
No Such Thing Here.

Nv
The much talked-of champerty case was
argued before Judge Smith yesterday. The
case is in the damage suit of L. ii. Ayers
against the 500 road, in which Frank LARA
bee won verdict for his client against the
railroad for $4,000 for injuries to an arm
Larrabee made contract with Ayers to
handle the case for half the judgment.
When the jury returned verdict for Sl5,-
700, Larrabee served notice on the $500
company that they should pay no more than
$500 to Ayers. When the case was finally
called, Ralph Whelan laid his papers before
the court, with the air of q man who had
shouldered reform, stating that il was SIM
ply for motion for dismissal of the action.
acuon OF Mr.. Larabee was champeftous, OPP
posed TO public policy and void. Mr. Lar
rabee observed: Just read the
contract. I'll admit the papers,
MIR. Whelan then read the contract and
entered upon long dissertation on cham
perry. lie made strong argument and
brought large number of authorities to bear,
holding that the statute in regard to cham
perry did not abrogate the common law. He
made strong point on that part of the con-
tract which stated that the attorney was to
pay all the costs. When he had completed
Judge Smith stated that he didn't care to
hear Mr.. Larrabee. He thought the supreme
court had held that the common law was set
ASIDE IN that matter and, therefore. could
not entertain the motion. AS regarded the
1act that the attorney had agreed TO pay the
costs. that did not necessarily mean the dis
Dursements of the action. Il don't think
that the attorney in this matter has gone out
OF the province of the attorney. There might
be cases where it might be done. but the cir
cumstances would be peculiar. The motion
is denied"

A. T.. ANKENY INJURED.
He Faints in an Elevator and Has
a Foot Crushed,

SIT never rains but it pours" is q some
what old and trite saying, yet there is not
little truth in it. A. T. Ankeny is now con-
fined to his house with broken foot directly
the result of the attempt of Mrs. Tuffnell
upon her own life
When she was carried into the rooms of
Ankeny & Irwin, in the GLOBE building. Mr..
Ankeny was severely shocked by the spec
tacle. He has not been in the best of health
recently. and the streaming blood and the
poor womans sufferings affected him. He
became faint from sympathy. Fresh air. he
thought, would do him good He started
down stairs from the fifth floor in the ele-
vator but before reaching the bottom the
feeling of faintness increased so that he
feared he would not be able to stand. He told
the elevator mau to return, that he might
go to his Office and lie down. AS the ele-
vator started back Mr.. Ankeny tainted. He
was standing near the door of the elevator
when he fell, The right foot slipped out and
was caught between the third floor and the
floor of the elevator car. The elevator man
stopped the car as quickly as possible. but
not before Mr.. Ankenys foot was badly
wrenched. 1t is believed that some of the
small bones of the instep were broken He
was taken home, and late last night was said
to be resting easily.
