Then if the project should not succeed,
the great city of the Willamette will
pay its attention to the river, and
speak loud and long in favor of the
improvements to its navigation. Port
land is Portland, and she knows no
other city in the northwest Polit-
ically or commercially, she has always
worked for her own interests, and
frequently she has followed this plan
to the injury of other portions of the
state. If her business men had ex-
ercised ordinary foresight, to day the
wealth of the Inland Empire would
have been poured into her Golfers; but
fascinated by the glitter and glare of
Mr.. Wizards promises. she paid no
attention to her great channel of com
munication with the interior. Now,
she IS allured by the indications that
Mr.. Hunt will build railroad to her
wharYes, and her press has almost for
gotten that there is any such river
as the Columbia in the northwest.

The approaching election presents

The approaching election presents
an opportunity for the sovereign peo-
pie to be heard. This is, properly
speaking, the jury room, where YER
dict is to be passed upon the actions
of those whom the electors have en-
trusted with the management of affairs.
The work at the locks is on trial, and
the jury of American electors is asked
to pass q verdict whether it has been
done in the manner desired, or has
been prolonged unnecessarily. An
other subject to be passed upon is the
forfeiture of the Wallula land grant,
and the country desires an honest and
unbiased decision. For years the rail
road monopoly has charged excessive
rates, and the producers and shippers,
through their representatives in con-
gress, have prayed the government to
open the river to navigation. This has
not been done, and we are sorry to see
so littl. interest taken in the matter
in Washington City. 1t is not politi-
cal to talk in this matter; but there
are higher considerations than even
those of political nature. An open
river Is bread and butter to our farm
ers and producers, to the city Develop
ment commensurate with her advan.
tages, and to the mechanic and busi-
ness man Irving. These are matters
of vital Importance, and which should
be passed upon by the ballot Of SOW
ereign people.

The o. r. & N. Co., for the con-
venience CT the passenger and freight
depots, desired to have two streets for
the distance of one block-and which
have never been used except for the
purpose Of getting to the trrin-con-
demned. The company wanted this
room for platforms, sidewalks, ETC.,
and which would have been a great
accommodation to the travelling pub
lie. At the last meeting of the coun-
Gil this was laid on the table for
future action, and the company can
not offer the people cf thus city depot
conveniences because it has no room
to build sidetracks and platforms.
The Dalles seems to possess fatal
lethargy in everything which goes to
build up town. Years ago tho rail-
road company desired yard room in
the east end of the city to build shops,
and the price asked, SO we are IN
formed, was so high that it did not
conclude it advisable to purchase the
land. After that time the Albina
shops we're constructed, which would
have been built here under other cir
In such ways we have
killed every public enterprise which
was intended to benefit tho city, and
nov, when there is talk of building
roads to the interior and to Golden
dale, We will not give the railroad the
room requisite for depot conveniences

OUR NECESSITIES.

By reason of the partial failure OF
crops last year our merchants have ex-
perienced very dull season during
the past fall and winter, and the ex-
traordinary loss of cattle this winter
will cause trade to be very quiet this
coming spring and summer. We can
obviate this drawback to our growth
and prosperity by the exercise of en-
te-prise, and our merchants will reap
rich returns therefrom. There is no
doubt that The Dalles is possessed of as
rich natural resources as any city on
the Columbia, and these only need de-
velopment to double the present pop
ulatior and wealth of the city. There
is an urgent necessity of manufactur-
ing industries being inaugurated, aid
these will attract capital and furnish
means of support to home-seeking i'm
migrants An open riyer-by means
of opposition boats-wouid make this
point ocean-competitive, and our mer-
chants could sell cheaper than any
place east of the Cascades. Railroads
to the interior and to Goldendale will
be important factors of development,
and will be the means of centralizing
trade in this city. From present in
dlcations the Locks will receive very
small appropriation, and the boat rail-
way will never see life. All the aid |
we shall receive this year will lie the
results of our own .f.rts, and it is

A petition signed by over 100000
citizens has been presented in con-
gress asking that no law be passed en-
forcing the observance of Sunday as
Sabbath. These petitioners are Sec
ond Adventists, and believe the Bible
teaches them to observe Saturday as
the day of rest and religious worship.
1t is true this is very uncomfortable
number of the population of the United
States; but they should not be perse-
cuted by the majority. If the United
States is free country, with the priv
'lege of worshipping God according to
the dictates of each persons conscience,
we can see no reason why Sabbatarians
should be forced to observe the Puri-
tan Sabbath, except they have no
rights that persons of different relig-
ious creeds are bound to respect.

The Union Pacific Is looking to-
wards Puget sound for a terminal
point. This does not mean that the
great transcontinental road will give
up its Oregon lines; but simply that
it wants to compete with the North
ern for the carrying trade of Wash
ington. The Inland Empire is too
rich country to be gwen up to some
other company, and Portland and As
toria arc too good shipping points for
them to be neglected. The schemes
of the Union are grand in the ex-
treme, and If it can command the cap
itai to carry them to successful COM
pletion, it will be the most gigantic
railroad corporation on the continent
The past few years have witnessed
many railroads constructed in the
but in the next decade
greater activity may be expected in
this regard.

We are hopeful that during the next
few weeks the water bonds will be
taken at lower rate of interest than
Z per cent, and as spring weather has
commenced work should be started i'm
mediately. Of all the drawbacks to
the growth of this city the lack of a
good water supply is the greatest, and
the one from which the people suffer
most. AS measure necessary for the
health of our inhabitants, good water
is of the greatest Importance, and we
cannot afford to delay the matter of a
water supply one day longer than is
absolutely necessary.

The Portland World SAYS th

The Portland World says the cleo
ton of Senator Brlce ny the Demo
cracy of Ohio appears to have inspired
new life into the party in that state.
We have not the least doubt of this
fact, for now Mr.. Brice can open his
"barrel" with some satisfaction to
himself. He is personally interested
in keeping Ohio Democratic, and can
afford to spend a few dollars for that
purpose. A few millionaires like
Brice and others are worth more to the
Democratic party than thousand
pcnniless fellows. Money is the 'open
sesame" in running a Democratic
campaign, and if Oregon Bourbons
only had a few such men in prominent
positions it would no doubt inspire
new life into the party, and defeat
would not perch so frequently on
Democratic banners.

Some of the counties in Eastern
Oregon will suffer heavy loss during
this winter in the death of horses,
sheep and horned cattle. Many flock
masters who, at the beginning of the
season, were in good circumstances,
will be literally impoverished by the
severity of the weather. These men,
as matter of course, will 60
elsewhere, and attempt to a;cuuu-
late competence. Wasco county is
very fortunate in having changed its
industry from cattle to grain-raising,
and for this reason the loss will be
hardly appreciable. By reason of the
heavy snowfall, our producers will be
immeasurably benefited, while sheep
and cattlemen in other counties will
loose heavily. It is not generous to
reap advantages by,another's misfor-
tunes; but such seems to be the nat
ural sequence of the weather this win
ter.

Silco.t, the defaulter, whose sudden
departure from Washington City was
neted at the Legihning of the present
session of congress, has been captured
in Toledo, Wash. The sheriff who ar
rested him feels certain that he has
the right man; as he answers the pub
lished descriptions. The capital will
welcome HIM back, but 1t will cause
no feelings of gladness to him, for he
never again will occupy such proali-

circles. His sun has set, and if he is
fortunate enough to escape punish
ment, he can but keenly feel his dis
grace.

THE BOAT RAILWAY.

Somebody in Washington seems to
wish to have it understood in Oregon
that Representative Hermann will be
responsible for the failure of The
Dalles boat railway bill if this con-
gress shall fail to pass 1t. He will be
no more responsible than the rest of
the delegation. They all know the
Till has no chance of passage through
both houses. The senate may pass it
to please one member, but it would
never do SO if it were not sure of its
defeat in the house. Legislation in
volying SO much money and new en-
gineering principle cannot be enacted
out of hand in single session. If it
ever becomes law it will be after
thorough consideration and careful de-
bate, for which there is no time this
winter. There ought to be no misun-
derstandIng about this matter in Ore
gon. 1t is all very well for a senator
to make personal capital out of the
barren passage of bill through the
senate. That is legitimate enough as
far as politics go. But he must not
sbe allowed to make it at the expense
of a representative of his own state at
the other end of the capital, who has
reelection to look after as well as
himself.-Oregonian.
This places the great daily where it
properly belongs in regards to i'm
provement of the navigation of the
Columbia river. The boat railway
above this city is of the utmost i'm.
portance to the whole Inland Empire,
and no work is so greatly desired as
this. We are under obligations to
Mr.. Mitchell for pressing this matter
upon the attention of congress, and we
shall hold our other representatives to
strict accountability for their action.
This great river, which drains an en-
pire in extent, is of vital importance
to the producers of this region, and
our people will vote as they feel on
this subject. A congressional COM
mittee has investigated the construc-
tion of boat railways in Europe, and
the report has been passed upon favor
ably. This is no longer an expert
ment, and there is no excuse for not
making an appropriation for this OBJ
ect during the present session.

NOT SCIENTIFIC.

The practical demonstration Of
theory is algays the best evidence of
the adaptability of policy to com
munity or nation. If free-trade has
actually benefited Epgland there is no
question that it is the economic policy
to be followed; but il Iroteetion has
been beneficial to America, Germany
and France, there can be no reason
for demanding q change. The basis
of principles Of political economy de-
pends upon careful and systematic
management; but these cannot be re
duced to that degree. Of certainty of
which those that underlie the sciences
of astronomy or chemistry are suscepti-
BILE. We cannot say to nation like
the tutor says to the student in math-
ematics:-These principles are axioms
and cannot be controverted. If there
was the least doubt about the truth of
the basis facts in any of the acknowl-
edged sciences the whole superstruc-
ture would crumble and fall to the
ground. The solidity of all advance
ment in scientific investigation rests
upon the truism that nothing is stated
as fact unless it has been thoroughly
proved to be such by every conceivable
test. Is it possible to arrive at such a
definite conclusion regarding the eco
nomic policies of free-trade or protec-
tionY Mr.. Gladstone may reason with
all the well developed powers of his
gigantic intellect that protection infers
waste of the basis of all values-labor,
and still if, in single community in
any protected country the converse
has been proved true, his position is
not tenab!e. It is customary when
young men enter any business to lay
down for their guidance certain rules
for them to follow. But these rules
are never considered scientific, and
frequently men succeed who violate
nearly every one of them. We can
predicate the same of any established
theory of Political economy, and very
many of oar own industries-such as
the manufacture of steel rails-have
demonstrated the fact that political
economy cannot be proved by postu-
latea The circumstances and conditions
which surround q nation, and which
are important factors in its devel-
opment, have often rendered policy
nugatory which would be successful if
the country were differently situated.
Political economy, like business, is
governed by well established rules;
but these have never been demon
strated to scientific certainty.
