Tho Equity of Protection.

Underlying all protective legislation
there is stratum of justice which the
great body of American voters cannot be
induced to permanently ignore Money is
required for maintaining the machinery

mills and mines and machinery OF man

fair play. SO characteristic of the Ameri
can people, will insist that no alien
be given the rigl to compete in our
markets against the production of these
citizens until he has made correspond
ing contribution To the National Treas
ury.
Recognition of this fact is the iustiii-
cation of protection. And when there
is added the further fact that the stand
ard of American citizenship has lifted
the wages of all classes of workers To a
higher plane than is recognized in any
other country condition which il is

Free trade attorneys are ceaseless in
their efforts to befog the issue with dis
tortcd statistics and TO mislead voters
with promises of cheaper goods, but they

A Terror of the Tropics.

One of the deadliest serpents of the
tropics is the fer-de-lance, of which
there are at least eight varieties. Laf-
cadio Hearm says the reptile is of pre-
cisely the color which will enable it to
hide among the foliage or the roots of
trees. Sometimes it is of bright
yellow, and one can scarcely distin-
guish it from the bunch of bananas
within which it coils. Again it may
be black, or yellowish- brown, or of any
hue resembling tropical mould, old
bark or decomposing trees. The iris
of the eye is orange, with red flashes,
and it glows at night like burning
coal.
In Martinique the fer-de-lance is
absolute lord of the forest by day, and
at night he extends his dominion over
parks and public roads. The only
safety lies in remaining at home after
dark, unless one lives in the city itself,
and it is always dangerous to enter the
forest even at noon without an expert
enced escort. At any moment branch,
a root, bunch of pendant fruit may
take life, writhe, spring and strike
death to the heart.
One creature. however, has no fear
of the fer-de-lance. Horses tremble at
sight of it, dogs whine and SILVER
The hen attempts to defend her
chickens, and the pig offers more sue
cessful combat. But it is the cat who
fights the monster most undauntedly.
The author of "A Midsummer Trip to
the Tropics" describes such an en-
counter:
"The cat upon seeing snake carries
her kittens to place of safety, and
then boldly advances to the encounter.
She walks to the very limit of the
serpent's striking range, and then be-
gins to feint, teasing him, startling
him, trying to draw his blow How
the emerald and topaz eyes glow then
They are flames. A moment more and
the triangular head, kissing from the
coils, flashes swift as if moved by
wings. But swifter still the stroke of
the armed paw that dashes the horror
aside, finging it mangled in the dust.
Nevertheless, pussy does not dare to
spring. The enemy, still alive, has
almost instantly reformed his coil She
is in front of him, watching him, YER
teal pupil against vertical pupil.
Again the flashing stroke; again the
beautiful countering; again the living
death is hurled aside. Now the scaled
skin is deeply torn; one eye socket has
ceased to flame.
"Once more the stroke of the serpent,
once more the light, quick, cutting
blow. But the reptile is blind, stupe-
fed. Before he can attempt to coil,
pussy has leaped upon him, mailing the
horrible fat head fast to the ground
with her two sinewy paws. Now let
him LASH writhe, Irvine, strive to
strangle her. In vain. He will never
lift his head An instant more and he
lies still. The sharp, white teeth of
the cat have severed the vertebra just
behind the triangular skull"

called the House 10 order at high noon.
Clerk Crossman appointed temporary Ser
geant-at- Arms 10 restrain the crowd, and
then Rev. III. :. Jordan read the ninety
first Psalm and offered prayer. After that
the embarrassing routine OF swearing I'm the
members was completed, and the House ad-
tourned until $3.50. Upon the reassembling,
Phil w. Watched, of Petoskey, was
elected Speaker OF the House ana
Lyman A. Brant, of Detroit, Clerk.
In the Senate chamber Lieut.. Gov.

OK the sth the Legislature met in joint
convention and listened TO Gov. Winans'
inaugural message. The document did not
recommend the SoO,OOO Appropriation asked
for by Detroit To enable il To carry through
the National Grand Army encampment
next summer, despite all the pressure that
has been brought TO bear on the Governor
In that direction. As was expected, the
message urged the strictest economy all
along the line. Gov. Winans recommended
that the fifteen eX-officio and thirty Of
fetal state boards, with over one hundred
members and long list OF high-salaried
secretaries and clerks, should be wiped out,
and instead that the management OF the
State institutions be placed i'm the hands Of
general boards, non partisan so far as pos
sible, and that the best ability obtainable
should be secured for this work and good
salaries paid To the right men. He also
urged the abolition OF the State Board OF
Health, which costs the State $4,000
"a year, and OF the Game Warden
ship, the State Board OF Corrections
and Charities, and the Insurance Commits
sion. He favored the California system
for taxing mortgages IN real estate, and
urged a reduction in taxation. Abiding TO
this he said: "Another just cause OF COM
plant Is that much property is now exempt
from taxation that ought not TO escape
There seems to be no good reason why prop
erty owned and used by railroad, mining,
telegraph and telephone companies and
other associations for private purposes
should be exempt from general taxation. /

Talks on the Tariff.

The London Labor World, Michael
Dayitts paper, thus speaks Of the effect
of tho Mckinney bill in keeping in cir
culation in this country money hereto
fore withdrawn from our business chan
Hels to be sent abroad for imported
goods in several industries:
- Birmingham manufacturers and work
peg arc much exercised by the new
Amor aean tariff, which threatens to in
ilict Necavy blow on more than one
local indus>. try. Its effect on the local
gun trade wklll be serious and far-reach-
ing, althout h, wing to the scarcity Of
labor, it is not eXE pected that gunmakers
will be out OF emploeS ,ment for any length
OF time. A well-knk. own manufactures
states that up to a sin ort time ago the
American trade in cheap N 'rmigham made
guns represented upwardN> of e2, 600 a
week, but since the McfNyinley tariff
has been under consideration y he trade
has fallen off considerably. On, qe gun
maker estimates that the new tarA jff will
result in loss of something like IN o, 600
q year to Birmingham. The Amer%,ycan
trade is chiefly in guns valued at mon re
than "a shillings and not exceeding ~
shilings. On these there is now duty "
of -. One thing favorable TO the local y
trade is that the Americans can not G
make gun under "a los, or E5, so that j
the Guns now in stock can still be sold at !
a price below that at which they can he

America which has within the last five '
or six years sprung up and grown with
great rapidity in spite of the high duty. {
35 per cent, is the manufacture of me- .
tallic bedsteads. Five or six firms have
been sending between them from f25,
600 To $50. 900 worth OF iron and brass {
bedsteads to New York every year, and '
the greater part of this trade will now !
be at an end. In the pearl button in

A POLITICAL MURDER.
How Mississippi Democrats Celebrated
Christmas

How Mississippi Democrats Celebrated
Christmas.
1t was a lively and agreeable Christ
mas they had at Carrollton, Mississippi,
says the Chicago Tribune in commenting
upon the dispatch announcing the kill
ing of Postmaster Matthews. The day
passed of charmingly. All the Demo
Gratis of the town celebrated the aus
picious event of the festival of peace
and goodwill. Only the negroes, who
usually are so jocund on thai day, kept
quietly in their houses and did not stir
abroad, lest they, too, might fall victims
TO the JOY of the Democrats in their
celebration.
The Democrats of Carrollton entered
upon their celebration early in the day.
Mr. James Prentiss Matthews, being an
Objectionable citizen, il was determined
TO remove him, and the Christmas cele-
bration conferred in this offering upon the
altar of peace and goodwill Mr. James
Prentss Matthews was Objectionable for
several reasons. First, he was white
Republicans; second, he was carpet
bagger;" third. he was nominated six
months ago by the President as post
master; fourth, he had the audacity TO
accept the appointment and enter upon
his duties; fifth, when White Cap letters
were sent to him, when insults were
heaped upon him, and when he was or
dered TO vacate the Office upon pain of
losing his life, he had the further au-
dacity TO resent insults and TO arm him
self for his protection. For these rea-
sons he was removed Without giving
him an opportunity to defend himself he
was shot down on the public highway
and left dead in the gutter like a dog.
Then the Carrollton Democrats COM
menced their Christmas celebration. The
cowardly murderer was congratulated
and lionized all day. His health was
drank and men and women wished him a

The Furniture Store and Undertaking
establishments OF Crandall and
Burget.
Fours years ago in little ''hole in the
WALL on Second street near Washington
Mr.. l. l. ,Burget and Chas. Jesse. Gram
dali opened furniture store and two
months later in April, 1887 the firm of
Crandall & Burget branched out into the
undertaking business. The firm rapidly
made friends and grew into popularity,
and today at No. 166 Second street they
have three floors of a 26x100 brick block,
packed to repietion with everything
carried in first class furniture rooms.
Their stock is complete, in every partic-
ular They manufacture their own
lounges and do good deal of upholstery
work, but their furniture is purchased
in Portland and from Eastern manufac-
turers. Their light ash sets are obtain
ed in Portland and they find it to be a
fact that Oregon ash is superior to and
sells better than Eastern goods of the
same description, which is just one
evidence of the well-known fact that in
many things Oregon leads the world
AS FUNERAL DIRECTORS.
Crandall and Burget bave come to the
front more rapidly in their undertaking
department than anything else and they
stand today far in the lead in that line
of business, and nearly every fine funeral
in The Dalles for the last year has been
managed by these popular gentlemen.
They are both practical embalmers and
make a speciality of that kind of work,
and their success has been so marked in
embalming that they feel they can con-
fidently guarantee anything they consent
to undertake in that line We are glad
to know that have become known as the
leading funeral directors for they are
deserving of their success.
Crandall & Burget find in looking
over their books that they did much
larger business during March of this
year than they did last, and augur from
that that while the times are regarded
as dull in this section at present, the
volume of general business is increasing
from year to year. We are glad to
chronicle the success of so live firm as
the one at present under discussion, and
to know that fair dealing and keeping
abreast of the times will establish firm
on a solid basis as well in The Dalles as
any other city in the land.

The MiIitary snirit.

Competitive drills between the mill
tary companies have tendency to ele-
vate the national guard service and
ought to be encouraged. The state of
Oregon has a special pride in the
national guard organization because it is
composed of the flower of the land, and
it is the states main dependence in case
of war or of domestic violence. Accord
ing to the Jeffersonian idea, the volun-
teer militia is the only army republic
needs; yet, it is proper that the militia
Ishould be kept in training and thus be
in readiness for any sudden emergency.
1t is likewise good policy to keep the
martial spirit alive among the young
men of the country. The chivalric ideas
associated with military life always
exert an elevating influence. Your true
soldier is always the true gentleman.
The sense of honor is exceptionally high
in military circles. The brave man is
invariably the manly man. Thus, aside
from the public advantage in keeping up
state military organization, the effect
on the social life of the community is
beneficial
