During the present winter there will

During the present winter there will
be no heavy losses of stock in Wasco
county, although in Unlatilla and less
favored counties the losses will lie
heavy. At any rate this portion of
Eastern Oregon no longer depends
upon cattle-horned or or otherwise
and the people have greater source
of wealth in the wheat output. Fro N
all information we can gather the win
ter has been the most favorable towheat
of any for number Of years, and if
the citizens of The Dallas would open
the river by means of opposition boats
the fleet from this portion of the Inland
Empire will send its products to the
ocaen. The present year is one Of the
most golden promises for this vicinity,
and if our business men do not in
crease their wealth an hundred fold
the fault will lie at their own door.

Americans abroad spent $l00,000,-
900, last year while foreigners whocame
to this country brought $40,00O,0OO,
leaving balance against us of $50, 0,000-
900. This is hardly fair division of
the wealth of nations, but then this is o
rich portion of the earth's surface and
our citizens enjoy sight seeing, and
whose business is it? Perhaps free
traders will call this waste; but it
can't well be avoided while there are
so many attractions in Europe.

SOCIALISM, IN GERMANY.

Socialism is not dead in Germany by
any means. The last bill in the
reichstagg against democracy was de-
feated by a good majority, and Bis
march must be vigilant if he can bend
the Germans to his will. They are q
thinking people, and while the pre-
mier. can force the stptennial bill
through subservient legislature yet
he cannot chain the thoughts of the
university mel. They will judge mat
ters in the cool light of reason, and
their conclusions will be drawn from
logical premises. In Russia large
majority of these thinkers are in the
penal colonies of Siberia, where they
cannot do much harm to despotism
and autocracy, and the army which do
the fighting are from the unthinking
masses, who view the czar as their
"little father" and desire no other
freedom than to live, fight for the
country, eat and drink when they are
hungry and thirsty and die when their
slime comes" In Germany it is far
different. Every man is soldier
during three years of his life, and it
works no exemption if he be wealthy
or poor, educated or ignorant. The
Russian government does not fear the
rank and file of the army. They are
loyal to the core, and at the command
of officers have stood in the battles of
the Crimea and in the Turko-Russian
campaign and been shot down like
dogs without murmur or complaint.
The officers may be permeated with
nihilism; but the detective system is
so perfect that these may be weeded
out. When socialism becomes ma
tional issue in Germany, the army
must partake of the infection, and it
is not reasonable to suppose that intelli-
gent men will stand in the ranks in
battle and be made food for powder to
please the caprices Of an emperor or
the desires of an ambitious premier.
There is no denying the fact that the
leaven of democracy is working in the
old countries of Europe, and at some
not far distant day it will surprise no
QUE to hear of a political eruption
which will shake the old monarchies to
their centers.

in business The increased value in
real estate may cause business men to
thrive and prosper for while; but to
insure permanency there must be a
change of commodities for coin, and
this must have it's foundation in some
home industry. Labor is the basis of
all values, and the product of this
must be exchanged for its representa-
tive in coin for any community to
thrive and prosper.
The dignity with which the colored
people of the south have suffered the
persecution to which they have been
subjected for the last quarter of a
century shows them worthy of
exercising the elective franchise, I'd
they should be protected in its exer-
else by the full force of the govern
ment if necessary. Political equality
does not mean social equality, and be-
cause negroes vote there is no reason
chat they should be admitted into our
families or our daughters compelled

The Democratic papers appear to
squirm because it is charged that CAL
vim S. Brice, a millionaire, has pur-
chased his election to the United
States senate from the Chic legisla-
ture. 1t is very likely he did, aud as
far as that is concerned if he did, it is
nothing but what other Democrats
have done in the past and will do in
the future. The United States senate
is not representative of the sovereignty
of the American people; but in many
instances of the power of clique,
caucus and Doodle.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Inter Ocean wants some enter.
prisihg ice company to harness the ice
bugs on the Atlantic seaboard and use
them to relieve the ice famine.
Wouldn't they be very saline in taste
The bellicose disposition of the
Portuguese has not yet quieted down,
and the Spanish blood is at fever heat.
These demonstrations have little effect
upon the English ministry, who pur-
sue the even tenor of his way, un.
mindful of the bluster of one of the
Latin races.
If our representatives in congress
had trea ted the Cascade Locks in the
same manner as the jetty at the mouth
of the Columbia, and procured spe-
cial apI ropriation for the work, the
people of Eastern Oregon would have
been well satisfied. They did not, and
we think there is some reason for COM
plant.
The Democratic press are deter
mined to have Gov. Pennoyer renom-
mated. They may succeed in placing
him before the people of Oregon next
June; but the state will elect Re-
publican governor, and any hopes to
the contrary simply illustrates the
extent Of the Bourbon imagination.
The Democrats in the lower house
of congress are preparing plan of
obstruction. by which they hope to
checkmate Republican legislation on
important matters. By such means
any action of the Republican major
ity can be blocked, and the true
primal principle of the party carried
out to its fullest extent-rule or ruin.
The provisions of the new extra
dition treaty agreed upon by Lord
Salisbury and our minister at London
will, If ratified, have no effect upon
the American boodlers now resident
in Canada, but they will discourage
further additions to the colony as they
cover about all the cases in which
these gentry seek refuge in the do
minion. They will also tend to make
crimes against property less common

Idaho should be admitted as soon
as possible. 1t is a country of we'll
known resources, and would add
glory and honor to the sisterhood of
states. 1t makls no difference
whether it would be Democratic or
Republican in politics, it is not right
or in any manner consistent with free
institutions to keep the infantile
clothes on commonwealth too long.
The mines In this portion of the north
west are equal to any state in the
union, and, aside from the Mormon
plague, Idaho would make as fair o
state as any.

The first legislature of the state of

The first legislature of the state of
Washington, now in session at Olym-
pia, IS re ceiving some severe criticism
from the press. When it adjourns we
believe there will be fourth of July
holiday al over the state. It. has
spent its time wrangling over ques-
tions of little Importance, and the peo-
pie can say with such legislatures
that they are governed too much.
A little judicious lawmaking, so that
the ship of state would have had
smooth sailing in her initial voyage,
would have been all that was neces
sary; and not prolonged session,sad-
ding financial burden upon the tax
payers, and accomplishing nothing for
the benefit of the new commonwealth.

The chief newspaper organ of the
Dominion at Halifax advises British
Columbia sealers in Behring Sea to 60
armed and resist seizure by American
cruisers. A little bloodshed, it thinks,
would arouse Great Britain to action.
Some of the sealers have made some
talk to that effect, but thus far have
had too much sense to act on it. The
organ probably wants to make point
in Dominion politics by little blow

hand than quarreling over Behring

SEATTLE, Jan. 2s.--The bold desperate
who robbed the faro bank, in the Elite
gambling house of 5000 at the pistols
point yesterday morning, afterwards
shooting Dick Richards, an attache OF
the game and then shooting at deputy
sheriff who attempted to arrest him, was
captured by the police IN lodging house
on Grant street bridge at o'clock this
morning. After escaping frcm the officer
at the race track last evening, the des-
perado returned to the city. He stopped
at Fishers lodging house, on the Grant
street bridge, and asked for q room. This
was given him and he went up stairs.
His actions were so suspicious and his
appearance was so similar to that of the
desperate as described, that the police
We're notified. They Immediately sur
rounded the house and guarded bis room
all night. At o'clock this morning he
was ordered to come out and surrender
He attempted to jump from window
but was driven back by officers who
guarded it.
Finally the officers broke into the room
and arrested him as he was holding re.
volver to his side as if to kill himself.
After arrest he said his name was David
Dence, that he was Frenchman, 20 years
of age, and that he recently came to Seat.
tile from Montana. He explained the
robbery by saying he had lost all his
money gambling, and wanted 10 borrow
enough TO buy clothes so he could make
a respectable appearance aud earn money
to pay it back. He was taken to the
county Jail.
The grand jury Is now in session and
will probably bring In several indictments
against him to morrow. Richard Rich :
ards. the wounded man, is resting easily
to night, and the doctors hope that he
may recover; however, the chances are
not much in his favor.

CHICAGO POLICE PLOT.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-The socialist and
anarchist societies of this city were great.
ly excited over what they believe to be a
huge conspiracy of the police against
them. A short time ago detective Chas.
NOrdrum was arrested and fined for
alleged unwarranted assault ON q man at
socialist meeting. Several socialists
took the matter up and demanded Nor
drums dismissal. 1t Is claimed now that
the detective went to one of those inter-
ested In the prosecution to purchase
leniency and proposed to give up inform
alton concerning the operations of the
police, and to show that certain sup
posed champion of the anarchist cause
was really in the pay of the police for
the purpose of creating. by wild utter
ances, popular prejudice.
1t IS claimed now that Mordrum fur
nlshed fourteen reports from this spy,
who is Henery Dammeyer, man who,
since 1886, has been one of the most ag-
gressive anarchists in the city. At the
meetings none were more rabid in utter
ances than he, and it Is now alleged that
he would thus induce others to echo his
sentiments and then report them TO the
police. All this evidence was laid before
the mayor. and the result was an order
issued to-day suspending Nordrum pend
ing an investigation into his alleged
treachery. The mayor and police cffi-
cials refuse to talk on the subject.
