such undertakings.

IT'S SPEAKER CRISP.

The deadlock over the SpeakershiI
OF the House was broken Monday
night by the nomination of Congress.
man Crisp on the 30th ballot, he re.
celving 119 votes to los for Mills, fol-
Springer and l for Stevens. Aside
from any political significance, the
dominant party has undoubtedly chos-
en- it's best fitted representative fol-
the Speakership. He is cool, collect
ed, good parliamentarian, and much
better adapted for the position than
is Mr.. Mills.
But the result has a political sig
nificance. All along the Cleveland
papers have been telling that Mr..
Mills must be elected Speaker, if the
free trade idea was to be upheld. OF
course they now claim that there is
no significance to the result,
but the Washington dispatches
state that the Cleveland following
feel sore over the defeat, while the
Hlll-Gorman following is correspond
ingly elated. Make light of it as they
may it was no doubt forerunner of
the contest that may be expected
next summer in the Democratic Ma
tional convention. The Cleveland
Hill forces have had their first skirm-
ish, and Gov. Hill is the victor.
But Mr.. Crisp has no easy berth.

its large number of new members who
know nothing of legislative ways, will
be no holiday affair, while with the
naming of committees, that have the
shaping of all the legislation of the
next house he takes vast response
bilitY upon himself.
In his speech accepting the nomi-
nation he showed himself to be an
ideal Democrat in the vagueness of
some Of his remarks. He declared
himself to be in favor of tariff re-
form, but just how far or how little
did not say, while he was as silent as
the tomb upon the silver question.
Taken as whole the Republicans
have nothing to feel bad about over
his election, for it augurs well for a
Republican victory next year.

Effects of Free Trade on English
Agriculture and Labor From
British Authorities
Lord Salisbury's
Views.

If the laboring men and farmers of
our country would pay as much heed
to the statements of British states
men in high places, and to statistics
collected and published by British
officials, as they do to the frothy
mouthings of renegade, office-seeking
demagogues, played out political har-
lots who hope by working upon the
prejudices, disaffection and ignorance
of certain classes to create divisions
in some other party that may once
more restore them to some good po-
sition where they can get their rapaci-
Gus hands into the public crib, they
would soon be left with scanty fol-
lowing in their mad raid upon the
financial and protective policy, under
the operation of which, and only under
which it has been prosperous.
If, when these renegade deceivers
tell the laboring men of this country
that British free trade in this is the
one thing essential to their prosperity
and happiness, would answer them
with the truthful statements of Brit
iSh official statistics of what free trade
has done and is still doing for British
laborers, it would soon silence their
falsehoOds and clamor.
But short time since Prof. Rogers,
one of England'S highest authorities
on labor questions said: ''There is
collected population in our large
towns which equals in amount the
whole of those who lived in England
siXcenturies ago, but whose condition
is more destitute, whose homes are
more squalid, whose means are more
uncertain, whose prospects are more
hopeless than those of the serfs Of the
middle ages" Another English writer
recently says that 'of the $4,000, 900
population of England, one-seventh of
the population are toeing the mark of
pauperism."
The last census of 1890 shows that
England with her 35,000,O00 has a
little more than ten times as many
paupers as the United States with her
nearly 65,0OO,000 population. Golden,
in his time, speaking of the distress
among the agricultural laborers of
England said "A laborer's wages in
that industry was only equal to the
cost of maintaining criminal in the
Dorsetshire prison.
His remedy was to secure by free
trade the bankruptcy of American
manufacturers, thereby increase the
demand for British products and give
employment to more laborers in Brit
ish manufactures. A very good scheme
for his own country, but how MANY
laborers in Minnesota would like to
have their wages graded down to the
cost of supporting a convict in the
Saltwater prison. Tho England has
never done anything for the American
: laborer, the Democratic party of the
United States is intensely anxious to
aid the Golden scheme for England.
Is it rom pure charity for England's
poor, or in payment for the liberal
contributions British manufacturers

The death last Friday in Chicago,
of Col. Edmund r. Taylor, closed a
life that has witnessed great changes
in the west. He was in his seth year.
His early home was in Springfield,
H., and he was great friend of both
Lincoln and Douglas. 1t was a firm
conviction Of his that but for his adj
vice and encouragement neither of
them would have ever studied law.
In 1885 he went to Chicago, holding
the appointment of receiver Of public
moneys, under President Jackson.
SIN that capacity he sold nearly all
the present site of Chicago for S1.2
per acre. That he should have lived
to see city of over a million souls
covering what was then a wild and
dreary swamp, is wonderful record
even for this era. Nothing else could
so strikingly accentuate the wonder
full growth of that CITY," He took an
important part in the adoption of the
greenback policy by the government
in the early part OF the war, and
whether he was really the originator
of the system, AS he fondly believed, or
not, he certainly had occasion to be
proud of the fact that President
Lincoln asked his advice in the mat
ter and followed it.

MADE A BIG HAUL.
The Belle Center, o.. Bank Robbed Of
$4,000 by Burglars.

$4,000 by Burglars.
BELLE CENTRE. o., Dec. S.-As sew
eral men were walking in the rear of
the local bank they were startled to see
the rear heavy door open and they gave
the alarm at once and large crowds of
people hurried to the scene, including
the bank officials. The latter at once
opened the front door. On entering
they found that the safe had been
blown open and completely Quilted. The
robbers drilled several holes in the iron
safe, which was supposed to be burglar
proof and blew it open with dynamite.
The burglars took all the money there
was in the safe and also number of
valuable papers and negotiable secu-
rites. The total amount stolen is sup
posed to be about $4,000 The bank
officers say that their loss will not Grip
pie them and that the bank will run
right along. They drew out their re-
serves in other cities to fortify them
selves. There is absolutely no clew to
the perpetrators of the robbery.

letter to the Ohio Democrats in which
he says: mo party can succeed which
deliberately relinquishes principle on

to defeat under the free trade flag,

have made heretofore or will here
after make to their. campaign funds
in free trade contests?
In 1888 the Dorsetshire farm labor
ers petitioned Lord Salisbury for re-
dress, stating that their wages were
| less than the cost of maintaining a
pauper in the poor-hOuse, and in one
of his speeches the 'sNoble Earl" said,
speaking of what was expected to re-
suit from the repeal of the corn laws
under Peel's administration, lit was
further believed that the result of
free trade would be to insure such
uniform prosperity of trades that we
should always have large internal
market that would keep up to re-
munerative point the price of corn.
Now these two anticipations, on the
strength of which, 1 think, Mr.. Golden
and Sir Robert Peel passed their great
measure, have proved absolutely de-
lusive.n
But the Prime Minister said after
testing it for nearly forty years that
''the result had been great misery
and ruin," and this was his opinion
only three years ago, and he has not
changed it since then, for on the 9th
day of November only one month since
he said in his speech at the Lord
Mayor of London annual dinner,
that after nearly 40 years trial, the
depression of agriculture in the Brit
ish kingdom was due to free trade
but in the same speech said that 1.-THE
cause of protection does not sink; it
rises" ''Even the solitary colony of
New South Wales is unsound on the
free trade question. 1t no longer has
an unspotted robe, says the great
Premier of the British government.
On the 9th day of this month Great
Britain's Prime Minister told one au-
dience that 'the cause .ofOprotection
does not sink; it rises" On the oath
he told another audience of Britons
that the increasing depression of ag-
riculture in Her Majesty's kingdom is
due to free trade. "The non-tillage
of the land" he said, sis due to the
withdrawal of protection, under
which the soil formerly grew wheat.
Nowhere in the world will you find
corn grown without protection"
One cannot but suspect sarcasm in
his ,Lordship's speech: "We shall
have the advantage before very long
of being the "Athanasius mundum of
free trade"
This is the confession of the pres
ent Prime Minister of the British
realm in A. D. 1891, and of Briton's
free trade experiment the 10th year.
Who knows more about the effects of
free trade in England upon the agri-
cultural and laboring interests of that
country than all the Golden Club al
lies of the British manufactures in
America? 1t is worthy of note that
the English press who criticise his
speeches most severely censure him
not for his confession of the weaken
ing of free trade and the growth of
protection, but for neglecting to no.
tice the recent revolt against it
among laboring classes in the large
cities and the agriculturists in the
rural districts. Our battle in, 1892 is
against the enforcement of this ruin
Gus policy Of England upon our own
people, and victory will crown our
banner. B.

that it requires fifty cars, each sixty feet

Professor Ackerman Finds a Glass Not
to be Ashamed of.

Professor Ackerman Finds Glass Not
to be Ashamed of.
The second day of the Wasco County
Teachers institute assem- bled ats O'Clock
with Superintendent Shelly in the chair.
Mrs. Welzell entertained the teachers
with fine solo, after which the superin-
tendent led in prayer.
The first exercise on the program was
Arithmetic by Prof. Ackerman. 1t takes
lively intellect to follow the professor
in all his questions and give the proper
answer, but he has an assemblage of
teachers for pupils of whom he need not
be ashamed.
The subject of Arithmetic was followed
by the subject, Reading, by Prof.
Wetzell. The professor found himself
involved in debate when he asked for
definition of reading. Pitted against
him were Mr.. Gilbert, Colonel Nevius, a
number of the teachers, and Mrs.
Wetzell. When the professor found his
wife was opposed to him, he said he
would wilt, and extricated himself as
best he could.
At the close of the fifteen minute re-
cess the roll showed thirty-six teachers
present.
Among the teachers present we
noticed the pleasant face of Mrs. A. A.
Lyon, principal of the Wasco school !;
also Miss Merl ill former teacher in
Sherman county.
The first subject after recess was that
of physiology, by Professor Ackerman,
in which he said that the pupil reciting
before class should be treated as a
witness on the witness stand.
The iveliest debate of the institute, so
far, was that brought on in the subject
of writing. Professor Wetzell found
himself pretty nearly alone in his views.
In the argument Colonel Nevius brought
bown the house by relating an incident
in Horace Greeley's school-teaching
days. Mr.. Greely wrote the copy,
"Vlrtue is it's own reward" The
school committee translated it, ''Wash-
ing without soap is absurd"
Adjourned to l 80 p. m.
Following the noon recess Professor
Ackerman brought the subject of lam
guage to the attention of the teachers.
One of the instructors plans is to repeat
some passage or quotation as compe-
tition memory test. Many Of the teach
ers are able to reproduce the selection
on the first effort. The professors mem
ory gems are jewels in the English lam
guage. He paid the primary teachers a
high compliment when he said they are
doing the grandest work in the public
school system, and the. teachers feel
that Superintendent Shelly secured the
right man for the right place, and the
teachers are not. slowin .'getting the
thought along the line.'' - = T. s
The subject of language was followed
by that of history by Prof. Wetzell,
which was being discussed at the time
of going 10 press.
