THE Dulles FIRE.

Wednesday afternoon word reached
here that The Dalles was burning and
that the town was liable to be utterly
destroyed. Conflicting reports followed
one another, it being stated at one time
that the entire town below the bluff was
gone even to the Company's shops.
While it was not as bad as that, it GER
tainly is bad enough. Thursday morn
ing we visited The Dalles for the pur-
pose Of getting correct idea of the
damage, and it is truly sad sight.
The fire started about ! o'clock in the
afternoon in the dwelling house of +.
w. l.. Skibbee, one block south of the
passenger depot, and, famed by a
strong breeze from the northeast, swept
down Second street and across Third to
the bluff. The wind rose with the fire.
and terrific whirlwinds swept blaze
and embers i'll every direction, until by
the time the engine arrived two whole
blocks were in flames and beyond hu-
man control with the means at hand.
When it was seen that the condagration
was to become general, citizens began
moving their household effects, and as
every one was looking after his own, it
was impossible to get much help and
utterly impossible to get teams to move
the goods. The result was that the
greater portion Of the personal effects
removed from the buildings were taken
but a short distance and left only to be
caught by the flames and destroyed
The fire swept down Second street as
fdr as Federal, where gallant and sue

Modern JOnrnalism.

Of all the liberal professions, that oI
journalism is the most arduous and
thankless vocation that any human
being can embrace. The modern daily
is of such high standard that there is
no ''royal road' to become successful
newspaper man. Eminent fitness eX-
hibited through years Of toll and drudg.
cry is the only criterion Of individual
capacity for the upper walks of journal
ism; it is the one calling in which the
almighty dollar prevalent not.
The young man starting in life with
memory retentive enough to acquire
a superficial knowledge Of the contents
of few volumes of legal lore, and suf-
ficient education to misquote Latin,
can easily obtain the privilege of tor
turing law and mystifying clients. 4
short attendance on course Of lectures
at one OF the numerous mushroom med
ical colleges enables him 10y paying the
fees TO adOrn his office with a hero
glyphical sheepskin comforting upon
him the magic title of NJ. D., with full
authority to practice the healing art,
sometimes to the great detriment of the
normal functions of the internal ap-
paratus of his unfortunate victims. No
such easy methods are open to the
young journalist; each round of the
ladder of fame must be climbed with
slow and painful effort The casual
reader scarcely appreciates the qualf-
cations possessed by the men whose
writings they enjoy. Thorough knowl-
edge of human nature, nerve, judgment
and courage Of high order both phys
ical and moral, are few of the essen
tial points Of good newspaper writer.
he need not be able to parse Greek
aOrist or work the difftrential calculus,
but a thorough course Of diversified
reading and an intimate acquaintance
with men Ofall degrees gained by travel
and close observation are Indispensable
factors of ultimate success; and when
finally attained, how meagre are the
results compared with other pursuits.
Poets sing the warriors praise, grateful
nations erect statues to patriots, enrap-
tured congregations shower gold with
lavish hands upon the fashionable
preacher, but for the poor scribe. no

olumn. These were the figure.

In other words, the national peoples
party polled nearly 100000 votes in
twelve states in the first year of its en-
istence. Where the republicans or
democrats were already in strong ma
jority. it served TO make their majority
still larger. Where, as in the case OF
New York, Connecticut and Ohio, the
margin between the two parties was
small, the republicans gained the ad-
vantage The reason for the changes
was plain. In constituencies where one
or the other party is firmly intrenched
in power, and has control OF the ma
chinery of administration. the radical,
discordant, and discontented elements
of the voting population are, by the
natural law of alliance, supporters OF
the minority cause. Thus in a
strongly democratic state like Mis-
souri,, labor reformer would be more
likely to vote with the republicans than
he would in a state like Minnesota,
where the supremacy OF the republican
party is so strong as to make it indie
dendent of such assistance. Conse-
quently a third party movement natu-
rally draws its support from the minor
ity rather than from the majority in
any state where the party lines are well
defined. This proved to be the case in
1878 in the republican states west and
east, where the new party recruits
came from the democratic ranks, and
served to augment the republican pre-
ponderence.
In the doubtful states, like New York,
Connecticut, and Ohio, the radical ele-
ments of the voting population were, as
the result of many hard-fought previous
battles, quite evenly divided between
the two political parties. and an indie
pendent movement made drafts upon

The Unpatriotic Opposition.

There can be no doubt but that the
unfortunate plight into which this Beh-
ring Sea controversy has fallen is due
largely to the score or so of American
journals which have so unscrupulously
assaulted the presidents policy. In are
cent letter our London correspondent
quoted a remark of Lord Sails
bury's. enjoining upon the British pub
lie the policy of silence concerning in
ternatiOnal affairs. I'VE must do our
utmost he said. that our expression
of opinion on foreign affairs should be
as little tainted as possible with party
prepOssessiOns, because words that are
uttered with but slight effect at home
have an intense effect abroad" In no
negotiation has the truth of this been
more sharply demonstrated than in the
Behring Sea discussion. and at no point
more than in its latest phase. For two
months, and in despite of the fact that
the Tribune has repeatedly made public
the truth concerning the progress of
the negotiation for a closed season,
these dishonest American papers have
almost daily asserted that the proposals
for it were first made by Lord Salisbury.
long deferred by Mr.. Blaine. and finally
They have brought infamous accusa-
lions against the secretary, even going
so far as to allege that he was in cOllu-
sion with the lessees to preventa closed
season at all risks. And Sir Julian
Pauncefote, knowing these statements
to be utter falsehOods, know that all the
proposals came from us and all the de-
lays from Lord Salisbury, gravely
transmitted them to the British For
slgn Office as representative expressions
of American opinion, with the assur-
ance that Mr.. Blaine is being "criti-
cised severely" and violently at
tackled" for not doing precisely what he
had done, and the British government
covered with praises for doing precisely
what it was neglecting to do! Sir Jul
liam speaks of these papers as "opposi- !
ton journals" Certainly they are that |
but we do not charge them to the demo |
cratic party The leaders of the DEM |
ocracy, almost to man. and for the |
most part its press, have cordially sus-
tanned the government, and if the re-
suit OF the modus vivendi and of the |
further negotiation for an arbitration of |
the main issue is not in a satisfactory |
state when congress meets we shall look |
for such hearty expression of Ameri-
can sentiment as will leave no doubt |
abroad as to the real sentiments of the |

A Silver Syndicate.

NEW YORK, June S.-The Evening
Sun says that French syndicate has
been formed to purchase the entire
stock Of silver in this country. The
syndicate is represented here by
Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co. The
head of the syndicate in Europe is
Thorsch & Co.. of Vienna. 1t is said
that the American house holds about
100000 ounces of the stock repre-
scented by the receipts of the Mercantile
Trust company, which last year were
), 3i6, 600 ounces. As the needs of the
syndicate which propose to purchase
1000, 900 ounces, are not filled, the
silver will not be withdrawn from the
Mercantile Trust company. If this
were done the shortness in the supply
would become at once apparent and
silver would advance rapidly. The plan
of the syndicate seems to be about as
follows: 1t is thought that the stock OF
silver held in New York represents
large part of the whole floating supply.
Last year England held a large stock
Of silver, but it has since been
sent to Japan, India ana China.
The whole production of this
country Is used up by the government
in meeting its legal requirements for
coinage and the arts. Hence. If Eu-
rope needs any more silver, the syndi-
cate controlling practically large part
Of the floating supply, will be in posi-
ton to dictate the price at which il
will part with it. Moreover as election
time approaches it is thought the west
will renew the silver agitation and that
another effort will be made in the next
to put through the free coin
age bill. Silver went up to 120 last
year in expectation of free coinage and
if the bill should become a law this
year it will undoubtedly go to that fig
lre again. The third point that the
syndicate is said to be calculating upon
IS that the recent and present troubles
IN Europe will be to force the gold
standard countries to adopt the bimet-
allie standard.
