THE Dry Goods Economist is authority
for the statement tfat very large num-
ber of manufacturers of wooden goods
are now pronounced in favor of free raw
materials for their mills, though eighteen
months ago they were radical in their op-
position to such policy. Evidently the
Mckinley blunder is not working as its
apostles forecast it would. Another jour
nal quotes the treasurer of the Broad
Brook Comm Manufacturing Company
as saying that "The high duty on ma
terials is discouraging the Improvement
of American fabrics, and that as a result
those making good, honest products in
fine lines are not able to as successfully
compete with foreign manufacturers as
they had hoped and been led to believe
they could do" These things being true,
then the charge of the New York Euen-
ing Post, that the tendency of the Nc
Kinley bill is "shoddy," is true also.

1T may not be generally known that a
steam carriage has at last been. invented
that is SO near perfection that the authori-
ties of Paris have given consent for its
use in the streets of that city,. Recently
NJ. Serpollet ran his carriage propelled by
steam about the city, threading his way
in the crowded streets amidst pedestrians
and vehicles with ease and without dan
ger to others. The coach of Serpo1let
carries seven persons, and is fitted up
with all the conyeniences of railway
coach of the English pattern. The motor
is so well concealed that the passer-by
cannot discover it at first sight. One
person operates it and guides the vehicle.
The firing is automatic and SO simple is
the machinery that any one Of ordinary
intelligence can quickly learn the art of
operating it. If all that is claimed for the
Serpolet invention is true, it is a great
boon to countries where the roadways are
well kept. Several hundreds of other
steam carriages and wagons have been
experimental with, but they have all
been found too cumbersome, dangerous
on the highways and difficult to manage.
If Serpollet has overcome all obstacles
heretofore met with he has accomplished
wonders.

THE papers continue to look upon the
Newfoundland situation as so serious as
to warrant the fear of a war, in which it
is predicted Newfoundland will declare
its independence and achieve it. 1t may
be that the colonists will declare them
selves Independent, but as to maintaining
it, that is a very different matter. A
mere handful of people upon sea-encom-
passed land, with few resources and no
military prestige, how the Newfound-
landers can expect to resist the might of
England is past conjecture. We do not
believe that the thing is possible. So
long as Great Britain chooses to hold
Newfoundland in subsection it will be
done, and that with so slight effort as to
appear effortless.

ated that the American Government
labors under great difficulties in dealing
with the people who were aroused to vio-
lence because of the murderous acts of
the Malta. The Italians in America who
were so fast to demand vengeance and in
woke the arms of Italy to punish the
United States, will feel that they were
more than hasty, when they learn that
the people Of Italy frankly say that if all
the Malta were treated as some of them
were at New Orleans, there would be no
mourning in Italy. The Italian Govern
ment, we opine, will not make any de-
mands upon the United States that can
not at once be conceded.

DIPHTHERIA is epidemic in San Fran
cisco, and the deaths among children
have risen to an alarming figure. The
local press is unanimous in saying that
the cause of the disease and the mortality
is the filthy condition of the sewers of the
metropolis. If we are correct in recol-
lection, precisely the same state of affairs
existed year ago. The disease was then
so virulent and the cases so many, that
some of the schools had to be closed.
Then, as now, the bad sewerage of the
city was the cause; so that San Francisco
has not learned by experience. Of course
it would be q long and costly procedure
to reconstruct the sewer system of that
city, and some day it must be com
menced. But there is no reason why a
city SO wealthy as is San Francisco should
not each spring and fall thoroughly
cleanse the sewers she has. Taxation is
not high in San Francisco; labor is plen-
tiful and wages moderate. The city
authorities have the power to act, and can
command the money necessary. Why,
then, was there neglect for whole year
to do what now must be done in haste,
and at great cost consequently? Prob
ably the answer will be found in the re-
ply that the city government of the
metropolis has been so dominated by
political rings that health needs We're
subordinated to party interests.

THE lawless element at Pittsburg
appears to have been given free rein by
the Police of that place on Sunday on the
occasion of a Chinese funeral. The
hoodlums assaulted the mourners, robbed
the grave, tramped over the ground pre-
pared for the body, stole the funeral
baked meats, pulled and hauled the
Chinese hither and thither and generally
behaved as badly as they could without
killing any one. Now if that Sunday
scene had happened in California instead
of in the staid and plodding State of
Pennsylvania, how the sentimental
papers of the East would have roared in
condemnation of the hoodlums Of the
Pacific.

THE physicians of San Francisco ap-
pear to be agreed that the chances of la
grippe becoming epidemic in California
this year are very slight, because the
weather is unfayorable to its develop
ment. We are now TO have, in all proba-
bility, fine dry weather and no muggy
days such as have prevailed in Chicago
and Pittsburg. where the disease is play
ing sad havoc. Nevertheless, there has
been grippe enough in California the past
month to satisfy curiosity.

YESTERDAYS advices from Rome are
precisely what cool-headed Americans
anticipated. 1t appears now that so soon
as the Italian Government learned the
facts concerning the New Orleans tragedy,
it ceased to manifest especial anger, and
gave it to be understood that it would not
take any vigorous action to avenge the
death of Mafiaites. 1t is added that the
excitement among the people of the
italian capital has completely subsidized,
and that there is now very little interest
felt in the matter, as it is fully appreci-

Food in the raroes.

The food of the people consists chiefly
OF black or brown rye or barley bread,
soup, milk, coffee. and fish, either fresh or
dried Almost every dwelling possesses its
own. kiadlur. or wind house, for drying
purposes, the four sides of which are com
posed of laths set some half inch from one
another, to allow free passage to the air.
Here, for months together, mutton and
whale aesh hang uncooked, and are then
considered fit for human food. Whale
flesh Is very supporting but the dark,
leathery rind, inclosing very coarse, bacon
like fat, looks terribly attempting, and
far worse is the taste
Often rows of little fish hang outside the
wind houses, appealing to the noses of the
multitude of unowned cats which meet
you at every turn in Thorshavn, and are
encouraged as necessary to keep down the
similarly attracted breed of rats. The
pretty Faroese name of musabrouir. the
mouse's brother. has, moreover, been given
to the northern wren (troglodytes borealis,
Fischer), not for size and color merely, but
because, mouselike, it creeps through the
chinks of the kiadlur to feast on the dried
meats.--Good Words. -,,-- g III

A Bright Paper.

!
Very few are aware that The Dalles has
no less than five weekly papers, yet such is
the case nevertheless. Two of them, at
least, may have but a limited circulation,
but they are aht, newsy, little sheets
all the same, as we would certainly infer
from a page of one of them that has just
fallen into our hands. The "Pickyick
Chronicle" and the ''Miniature Story
Paper" are published by the girls of the
public schools. and deserve wider cir
culation than they are likely to have.
Here isa paragraph from the Pickacick
Chronicle, that ought to make
the cowardly fellow who is re-
ferred to literally crawl into his
boots. Whether it is an editorial
or local we are unable to determine.
ga man and lady were going down the
street and cow came along and acted
like it was going to hook them. The
man ran and left the lady standing there
parties are but we don't want to give it
away"
In the personal column we have the
following:
"Miss Hollister left for. Portland yes
terday where she will make her future
home.''
The advertising columns seem to be
well patronized but whether they are
''dead heads" or paying ads we cannot
say. Here are some of them.
'.Go to Leslie Buffers for good grocer
les at reasonable prices.''
''For full line of fgeneral merchandise
go to A. NJ. Williams & Co..
French & Mcfarland have always on
hand a full line of all general merchan-
dise.''
small space at the foot of the column
from which the above are taken shows
that the little paper is looking out for an
extension of its circulation. 1t contains
the following legend:
Subscribe for the Pickuick Chron-
icLe.'
Under the caption Lost we have
the following
"In The Dalles, on Fourth street,
some place west of Union street, small
mounted gold ring. The finder please
bring it to Mr.. 7. Tupman."
The last paragraph alas! shows that
like all other newspapers the "Pickwick
Chronicle is afflicted with delinquent
subscribers. 1t is headed, Notice. -
and reads thus. ''Those members of
the club and subscribers that do not pay
their dues by June first will rfned
five cents" There now, if that don't
fetch them we would like to know what
would. Success and long life to the
Pickrick Chronicle. -~i7

McMAHoN.s GREAT SHOW.
VIII be With June 18th, at The
Dalles for Two Exhibitions.

The Cincinnati, o., Enquirer says
''McMahon's circus is numbered among
the few legitimate arenic exhibitions,
and deservedly SO when its standard is
measured by the individual ability of
its performers. The riding is the very
best ever seen here. The acrobatic and
gymnastic feats undoubtedly excel that
of any other organization, while the
many novelties and new acts were an
agreeable surprise. 1t is vouched for by
parties posted OH the salaries of arenic
talent that McMahont has the highest
list in all branches of any show in
America. The keen-eyed emissary of
the car who accompanies Jo-Jo, on
being questioned as to Jo-Jo's salary,
says he receives $1,000 per week Not
the least attractive feature of the great
show is the monster paehyderm, Queen
Jnmbo, the largest elephant in the
world. The performance of Jumbo and
mate Romeo must be seen. to be appre-
ciated. 1t goes without saying that
the few remaining exhibitions in Gin
cinnati will test the capacity of the pa
yilions.'
