A HOPEFUL SIGN.

One of the most hopeful signs of the
times lies in the fact that the party badge
sits lightly on the shoulders of the voter
of the present day. He is doing con-
siderable thinking on his own account.
The chain that binds the people to the
old party bosses are no longer made OF
steel but of sand. The result of the cleo
tion in Portland and The Dalles last
Monday is but one more illustration of
what is going on everywhere. No more
important event in the. interest of the
state has happened for many day than
that which happened when Joe Simon
and Jim Lotion were both hurled into
one common vortex. Let the good work
go on. If the republican party desire to
maintain supremacy in this state they
must finish, at the first opportunity,
what the consolidated city has begun.
Let that party repudiate both Simon
and Lotion by reading them outside.
The party will then breath easier and
will have a right to live which thous-
ands else will not accord to it.

WE OWE PORTLAND NOTHING.

Just how much Portland wants an
open river may be gathered from the
fact that she has quietly sat at the
mouth of the Willamette and allowed
the Union Pacific to circumvent every
effort to get connection on the lower
river for the boat now being built at this
place. When The Dalles had gone be-
yond her means to get connections with
Portland, we would not have thanked
Portland to have built boat to make
this connection. Well, we will have a
boat on the lower river, in spite of the
Union Pacific and Portland's apathy
and when she gets her steam up she
may get her back up, at the same time
and run past Portland and on to Astoria.
At any rate she will owe nothing to
Portland and can go there or to Astoria
as suits her best.

Prince Napoleon's Pompeian Mansion.
When the part Prince Napoleon might
have taken in French politics ceases to
be contrasted with the part he actually
did take he will be remembered for quite
different achievement. In q strange
part of Paris he built very curious
mansion, and collected brilliant circle
of friends to witness singular enter
tainment. The circumstance, once no
torious, is now almost forgotten. Thirty
five years ago the prince went Pompeii
mad. It was the fashionable craze Of
the day.
Artists, authors, dilettanti-they all
took it; but the prince alone had funds
and purposed to realize his wild project
If he could build a housesjust like one
of those old Pompeian mansions, if he
could furnish it classically, put in the
right bronzes and statuettes, himself
dress like an old Roman and get his
friends to do the same--well, he actually
reduced the dream t5 fact.
In the avenue Montaigne, at that time
perilously near the Bal Mabille, the pal
ace was reared on the true Pompeian
lines. Gerome painted the decorations
Homer chanting his ballads, and
nymphs that represented the Odyssey
and Qiad. Everything was classic and
was Greek, but the Bonaparte blood
flowed in the veins of the owner.
= Prince Napoleon set up busts and stat
ues of his family all round the atrium-
Napoleon and Josephine and Marie
Louise, Lucien, Charles, Louis and Je-
rome; they all had their place in this
classic apartment. And here, before the
emperor and empress, a French play was
acted in classic costume-Favart, Bro
han and Theophile Gautier being the
company, and Got and Emile Augier
among the audience.-Boston Herald.

An IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN.

The most critical campaign in the his
tory of Ohio politics opened on Tuesday
when the gavel fell on the convention
that nominated by acclimation, William
Mckinley for governor of that state.
The result of the contest will be watched
with very great interest by all parties.
The name of Mckinley is SO associated
with the protective principle that his de-
feat will be accepted as the condemna-
tion of that principle so far as Ohio is
concerned. The republicans enter the
campaign with the advantage of sunity
and enthusiasm, and no doubt every de-
wise known to modern politics will be
used by both parties to win favorable
verdict from the people.

Cobbler sprague's Frugal wife.


Ten thousand dollars in gold and
greenbacks has been found secreted in
an old table in the residence of John
Sprague, a shoemaker, of Wilmington,
Del. The money represents his deceased
wife's savings for thirty-nine years. On
Jan. 81 Mrs. Mary Sprague, wife of the
cobbler, dropped dead, victim of heart
disease, in a drug store. The couple
came to Wilmington from England thir-
ty-one years ago. The husband is about
sixty years of age, while the wife was
nearly fifty-nine years old when she died.
They were frugal and industrious, and
during their thirty nine years of married
life the husband weekly gave the wife a
certain sum of money for her use. He
never questioned what she did with the
surplus, but supposed it was regularly
put in bank.
When Mrs. Sprague died search was
made for the handbook supposed to
exist, but to no avail. The house was
ransacked also, but no money was found.
Finally Mrs. Mckinley, neighbor, sug-
gested, as she had had a dream to that
effect, that possibly the treasure might
be secreted in an antique table, and this
article of furniture was examined.
Tightly wedged in an inside corner of
the table were found bag of gold and a
roll of greenbacks, which, being counted,
amounted to 1O,0OO.-Cor. Philadelphia

A New Arrangement.

EDITOR CHRONICLE: For sometime it
has been evident to many of our citizens
that our town needs another night
watchman as one is not enough to pro-
tect lives and property. Our town is
strung out over large area of hillsides,
rock bluffs and river bank varying in
altitude as high as three hundred feet
above the river level. One man, to do
his best, unhindered by disturbances,
cannot patrol even the business portion
of town of night as other cities of our
size are. Now, while times are dull, sup
pose our council appoint another night
watchman and do away with the office
of street commissioner, making the day
officer act as street commissioner, to re-
port needed repairs or improvements
and hire workment to do the work as the
council may direct. Certainly the addi-
tional duties of the day officer or city
marshal will not make his work very
arduous as the additional force at night
will tend to preserve better order and
fewer offenses will be committed at night,
each man being in different parts of the
town and crossing beats, no fire can
occur without the alarm being instantly
given. At train time one officer can be
at the train while the other keeps his
beat. The same can be done when one
makes an arrest and leaves his regular
beat. This is business.

Tha TahlAau.

The palmiest day of the tableau enter
tainment has rather gone by. Sacred
and profane history, ancient and modern
customs have been faithfully worked for
varieties in tableau representation and
their freshness has pretty well departed.
An entertainment Of pretty and pictu-
rescue scenes, unvaried by action or
movement, Is somewhat mild form Of
amusement. For obvious reasons this
kind of entertainment has had a long
run of favor. Tableaux, represented by
good folks that they all know, are some
thing that the strictest church people
can look upon without feeling of SIN,
and great deal of money for good
causes has been realized in this way.
They flourish best in home soil and Ire
sented by home talent and beauty, and
not little have they owed to the good
patured puffs of amiable editors and the
family pride which loves to see Sis ON
the stage in fancy costume, looking as
pretty as peachblow vase.-Springfeld

wasco Independent Academy.
The closing exercises of the Wasco In
dependent Academy, which occurred
last week, showed beyond a doubt that
The Dalles possesses school which cas-
lily ranks among the best in the state.
Attendance either at the entertainment,
given by the pupils on Tuesday evening,
or at Commencement, Thursday evening
would have convinced any fair minded
person that the teachers were efficient
and pains-taking and that the pupils ex-
pected to master whatever they under
took
The entertainment on Tuesday even
ing, proved a source of surprise and
increasing pleasure from beginning to
end. The Vogt Grand was filled to its
utmost capacity and the audience testi-
fed their pleasure by hearty and well
deserved applause.
'Only Pansy Blossom" an old song
in a new dress, proved especially attract
i've, while the ''Tambourine Drill''
fairly carried everything by storm.
Where each one did so well it would be
vidious to make personal mention.
Suffice it to say, therefore, that each
selection was admirably adapted to the
pupil who gave it. The accomplished
preceptress, Miss Mary F. Lawrence,
who had entire charge of the entertain
ment, deserves very great credit for its
success.
Althou gh the Academy graduated its
first class in 1882 its alumni now num-
bers half hundred. A large number of
these assembled with the teachers Wed
nesday evening, when the days gone by
were once more brought to mind, and
love for alma Mater rekindled.
On Tuesday evening the tenth annual
commencement was held at the Congre-
gational church which had been beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion. The
class of '91 consisted of Miss Iva G..
Brooks, Miss Margaret A. Kevs and Miss
Mona l. Ruch.
Miss Ruch's essay on 'Ideal Woman
hood" gave evidence of extensive read
ing and careful thought. With nice
discrimination she gathered from char
acters fictitious and historical, those
qualities which were best in each, and
from them constructed the character of
an ideal woman who should be fit COM
pliment to the one Perfect Man.
Miss Keys essay on "Success the Re-
ward Of Effort showed plainly that she
had learned not to be satisfied with
mere gilt and tinsel, but ever to push on
until the genuine metal was reached.
''The Influence of English Towns on
the Progress of English Liberty by
Miss Brooks, showed careful and
thoughtful study of the history of our
Anglo-Saxon forefathers. While not
offering so wide a scope for individuality
as the other two, it was none the less
meritorious because of its clearness and
logical treatment.
In comforting the diplomas, Principal
Ingalls, spoke briefly upon the necessity
of recognizing and obeying those
divinely given impulses which urge all
to higher and nobler life. The enjoy
ment of the occasion was greatly in
creased by excellent music, both vocal
and instrumental, kindly furnished by
friends of the academy.

ROME, Jan. 13.-The Tribune SAYS
that the Pope has submitted proofs of his
encyclical ON the social question to sew
eral eminent European savants. This
journal also says that the Papal advisers
are still discussing the advisability of the
Vatican advising State intervention in
the disputes between capital and labor.
1t is alleged that the English clergy adj
vocate such Intervention, while the
French are against it.
The Pope has appointed a Commission
to study the religious situation in the
South American Republics, with view
to reorganizing the Episcopates ON sys-
tenn similar to that prevailing in Brazil,
which is based on common law and re-
ligious liberty. Above everything, the
Pope wishes the clergy to be in line with
both the political and social situations of
their respective countries.
Won Schlozer, the representative of
Prussia at the Vatican, in an audience
with the Pope announced that while Ger
many was unable to accede to the return
OF the Jesuits, all other religious bodies
are Tree to return.
