IN 3lEllORIAM.


Lines in memorium of Mrs. Harper. be.
loved wife of John Harper, who departed
this life March 10, 1890.
A precious one from us is borne
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Well not forget the one we loved
Although we miss her here,
We give the last, long, lingering look
And shed the farewell tear.
No more will her gentle voice be heard,
No more we'll see her face;
Gone home to her SAVIOR away from all care
But her kindness will ever be traced.
She suffered all so patiently,
Submissive to Gods will;
Now death has claimed her for his own,
And we will love her still.
And her kind and loving husband,
Whom she left behind to mourn,
Cannot forget this loved one
Who was from his bosom borne.
He'll not forget her sweet, pale face,
For she was more to him
Than all of oceans glittering pearls,
Or diamonds in the sea.
And those darling little children
They cannot know mothers love,
But may they with their loving father
Meet her in the heaven above.
Yes, when they leave his world of changes,
When they leave this world of care,
May they find their missing loved one
In their Fathers mansion fair.

Dead Horses in sight .

A gentleman IN our city to-day from
Burnt river says that one of his neighbors
told HIM he had counted oyer l50 head of
horses lying dead on the divide between
Chicken and Sissley creeks. Another man,
who arrived here from Idaho to-day, says
that between the mouth of Rock creek and
the Snake river bridge, on the Idaho side,
he counted yesterday in one narrow space
over go head Of dead horses. These were
lying so close together that he says one
could easily have stepped from one carcas.
onto another. After crossing the Snake he
claims to have counted about $50 dead
horses in the canyon about five or six miles
this side of Huntington. The terrors OF
this winter will long he remembered ny the

the house measure which passed the
senate. Aside from this, the Repub-
licans in congress know that upon the
result in Oregon this year depends the
election of q. s. senator by our next
legislature. If Oregon is favored in
what she desires in the matter of pub
lie improvements and buildings, the
Republicans will carry the state by a
large majority. If not, this is doubt
full, and particularly SO in Eastern
Oregon. Our people have waited SO
long to see the river opened, and been
disappointed SO often, that If the pres
ent congress does not do something to
relieve our burdens it will be difficult
to keep the counties in the Republican
line. The party cannot afford to lose
one member in the U. S. senate, and
the appropriations in the River and
Harbor bill and the action on the
Wallula land grant will settle this
matter either in favor of the Republl-
cans or Democrats next June.

trade which has in times past sub
sisted between China and Russia by
means of caravans. It will also make
business for itself in the country
through which it passes, as American
roads hav done. 1t is a mistake tc
suppose that Southern Siberia is 9
waste country. The road will rur
through as good an agricultural, min
ing and timber country as some of oul
transcontinental lines. If, as the Chi
nese minister at Washington says
Chine will parallel this road as mill
tary measure, there will be a watkins
up in Central Asia.

The question of a postal telegraph

The question of postal telegraph
is now agitating the people of the
country, and Postmaster General Wan
amsker is q strong advocate of the
plan. We have always been in favor
of the government controlling the
railroads and the telegraph lines of the
United States, AS the available means
of stopping the grasping greed of cor
porations and releasing the producers
from q species of slavery. The oppon-
ents of the plan have a strong argu-
ment in what is termed the paternal-
ism of government; but this apparent
evil is directly under the control Of
the people, aad is susceptible Of
remedy.

we'll call itself the Star Chamber of

every right guaranteed in the con-

derstand that whatever bill he intro

he calls the papers of New York mo-
nopolies and says the country press is
perverted and poisoned by them he
makes himself ridiculous. All this fuss

have seen fit to differ from them in a
matter of general Importance, appears
too puerile to require more than a
passing notice.

SIGNS OF THE TINES.

Ihere Is no denying the Iact bnat
the wage-workers are more active in
their own interests than ever before.
This is not only true in the United
States, but in Europe. The day has
passed when capital can crack its whip
over the backs of willing slaves, and
they gladly do its bidding. Modern
inventions have opened easy means of
communication between nations, and
the news of the great London dock
strike last year was known nearly
over the world the hour it commenced.
Almost every movement of this great
army of workers was felt by means of
the electric wires in every portion OF
the civilized world, and every hour
bulletin boards were watched for news
regarding its progress. Telegrams of
sympathy were sent from labor organ
izations in America to their brothers
in the worlds metropolis, and this
nerved them to greater efforts and
more determined action. Before the
era of electricity this great movement
would have been kept quiet until it
had been completely crushed; but that
is not possible now. The intelligence
of the masses, which has become wide
spread in nearly every country, has
enlightened them regarding their true
condition, and the ballot-which is
| almost universal in England and
Ameriea-has given them power
and interest in governmental affairs
which were not enjoyed in former
years. These advantages, together
with the federation Of labor organi-
cations, have changed the conditions
of classes and given prestige to the
toifing many rather than to the
wealthy few.
The agitation now taking place in
the United States, as veil as III Eng
land and Germany, presages more than
momensary ripples upon the placid
surface Of the body polite; but the
disturbance is deep, and has been
gaining strength for yeare past. Em-
peror William may be more judicious
than benevolent in leaning towards
the Socialist movement in Germany,
and the Liberal party in England may
be acting for the future in legislating
for the laboring classes in the great
empire. We apprehend no danger to
free government from the success Of
any of these movements. 1t will un-
doubtedly result in bettering the con-
dition Of the bread-winners in the old
countries, and in purifying the dirty
pool of politics in our own country.
The trend of the world is towards
republicauism, and in free governments
towards better and purer policies.
And for this hopeful sign of progress,
the toiling poor in all countries. who
have suffered wrongs for ages, are
to be congratulated.

However optimistic one may view
the situation in Europe, the resigna.
ton of Bismarck will have its effect
upon the solidity of the German em.
pire. His place cannot be filled by
any living man, and for years he has
been the backbone of the great con.
federation of the German states. 1t
was by reason of his genius as states,
man that the little principalities were
united under one central government,
and by his indomitable will power that
durin the attacks of invaterate ene-
mics the empire. has remained intact

THE NEAGLE CASE ONCE MORE

An echo Of the pistol shot which
put an end to the tumultuons life Of
ex-Judge Terry, of California, was
heard in the supreme court at WASH
ington Tuesday, says the er-Ocean
of March 9th. The question of the
release on habeas corpus of Deputy
Marshal Neagle who fred that shot
was the point of contention. 1t was
claimed in behalf of the state of Cali
fornia that the United States govern.
ment had no authority in the case,
except as it might be specifically set
forth by federal statute. This posi-
tion was that as it was not asserted
that Neagle acted upon the authority
Of any statutory law Of the United
Ststes he was not acting under any
valid authority. There is no act OF
congress expressly extending to fed
eral judges protection outside the pre-
cincts of the court building, it was
argued, and therefore the deputy
marshal ought to be remanded to the
custody of the state of California.
This is the old Calhoun doctrine of
state rights with an immaterial varia.
tion in its application. Seldom has
anything happened to illustrate so
strikingly as this does the utenable
character of the general principle in
volved in this case. On the broad
ground that the national government
Is restricted to the letter Of the written
law the deputy marshal was not le-
gally detailed to protect Judge Field,
not withstanding the threats Terry had
made to shoot him at sight, and the
United States has no power to protect
any of its officers in the discharge of
their duties, except as a statutory
provision had been made to fit the
case. Such q doctrine as this could
not be carried out consistently with
out overthrowing the government it.
self. The issue raised in the Neagle
case is the issue on which the war for
the union was fought out.
It WIS happy hit on the part Of
Attorney-Ge Miller to quote from
that radical states rights man. ex-Seo-
retary Bayard, in support of the claim
made IN behalf of Neagle. 'The in
herent right of the government TO en-
act and enforce laws gives it" says
Bayard, "power TO protect its servants
in their exercise" This Is an axiom.
The encouragement took the ground
that the argument used against the
federal authority in this ease was the
same in essence as che one that the
executive had no power except such
as was specifically granted by the leg
islative department that had been
used before the civil war to deny the
power of the government to coerce the
seeding states. At this point Justice
Bradley interrupted the attorney-gen.
eral with the question: "With what
force shall the president execute this
power of protection of which you
speak, supposing that the marsha! had
not sufficient force for the purpose2"
The attorney-general was equal to the
occasion and at once answered: "With
the posse in the first instance, and if
that were not sufficient with the army
and navy"
