must be; accepted by the secretary of
war and the bonds approved, and then
it will take time to put the plant In
| position If TINT now in use IS not do
mated to the contractor by the govern
ment. The people pust exercise pa
tience; but they will rest assured that
work will be prosecuted with the
greatest expedition, and can look for
ward to the time when river craft will
carry th' ir wealth of productions ttj
seaboard without breaking cargo.
As predicted, Europe feels joyful
over the Democratic victory, and, with
the Inauguration of free-trade, Eng
land, France and Germany expect to
have ready market for their manu-
factures. This will be very beneficial
to the laborlng poor of those countries,
but 1t will be poverty and starvation
to our own wage-earners. The voice
of the majority has demanded this
change in our economic policy, and we
must patiently acquiesce.
In the hour of exultant victory, for
the Democrats of Portland to send
sarcastically worded dispatch to Gov.
Mckinley, statiug that they "could
not have succeeded" without him, is
not indicative of a generous foe, but of
the feelings of boastful braggart and
bully. The Democracy of Oregon did
nothing whatever towards the success
of the national ticket, and is now in
such disintegrated state that it is
doubtful whether it will ever do effect
i've work again.
If the opinions of President Har-
rison regarding the cause of the Dem
ocratic victory are correctly quoted in
the interview published in Saturdays
dispatches, he has not increased his
number of friends in the Republican
party. To lay the blame on the tariff,
the force bill and Chairman Carter at
this late dag comes Sin bad grace from
him, and the country at large will be
surprised that he made such a con-
fession of his own dereliction, for his
letter of acceptance fully mapped out
the issues on which the campaign YVES
to be fought on the Republican side.
In charity to him it is advisable to be-
lieve that the reporter relied upon his
Imagination for his facts.

The Money Question.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-No programme yet
exists for the international monetary con-
ference which will open at Brussels Nov
ember %. When the delegates meet, the
proceedings will be opened by one of the
Belgian representatives inviting the
American delegates to state The proposals
they desire 10 have discussed. These
presented, committee will be appointed
to prepare a definite agenda. Ipsiruc
tions to the English delegates are that
they are to treat the conference as q
purely deliberatlve body, without power
to commit the governments represented
to anything. The Indian currency com
mittee is debating a motion to establish
gold coinage in India. The proposal has
no chance of approval. Even SINGLE
standard experts admit that the change
would convulse India politically, besides
causing trade and financial panics there
and in the Indian markets IN Great Brit
ain. Baron Herscbe;l, lord chancellor, is
supporting the movement, however, for
the purpose of checking by means of
bravado the proposal to influence the
bimetalists at the monetary conference.

An united effort on the part of East
ern Oregon in the next few years will
accomplish wonders towards the devel-
opment Of the country. For many
years our producers have been taxed
to support railroad monopolies, and
the second largest river in North
America has been locked to the com
merce of the people by raeson of OBJ
structions which could easily have been
overcome by government aid. The
locks will he completed in two or three
years so that water craft can transport
freight from Tho Dalles to seaboard
without breaking cargo. and now i'm
provements above this city should re-
ceive the greater attention in order
that the counties east of The Dalles
should be afforded the same relief that
this point will enjoy in the near fu-
ture. Every paper in this portion of
the state should agitate the subject of
a portage railroad, an appropriation
for which the people are justly entitled
to from the legislature. But the mat
ter of ship canal as the permanent
improvement should not be lost sight
of, and this should be requested from
the general government. All residents
of the Inland Empire are interested in
an open river, and the portage road
constructed by the state and the ship
canal Ly the government can be secured
by an united, untiring effort.

Cleveland is President.

CHICAGO, Nov. ia Washington spec
ial to republican morning paper says:
There was an exciting and heartbreaking con-
versation, so far as certain Democratic leaders
are concerned, held recently in Cleveland's
residence, in New York. The details are
gradually leaking out from his auditors
Good plain English was spoken by the presi-
dent-elect and he did not hesitate to empha-
size the fact that he had been chosen by the
people, not by the politicians. 81 am under
no obligations to Tammany Hall or any other
organization for my election he said, sand
I do not propose to be dictated to by anybody.
Now that l am president it Is my intention to
be the head of this nation in reality and 1
will not permit any dictation as to my future
actions.' In the course of the same confer
ence Cleveland set his face resolutely against
an extra session of congress, saying there need
be no haste about revising the tariff before the
regular session, which would begin in Dec
ember, 1873.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

The question of regulating immigra-
tion is again being discussed by the
leading papers of the country, and this
is pertinent one SO soon after the
general election. That the privilege
of suffrage is too freely granted in this
country but few will deny, and that
the United States has received and is
still receiving an undesirable class of
people from foreign counsries, will also
be endorsed by nearly every citizen.
1t may be the spirit of our free insti-
tutions that this should be the asylum
of the oppressed people of all nation
alities, and that in this country the
poor and tho rich, the educated and
the ignorant, should be equal before
the law; but there are certain
classes of society who seem to have no
other object in life than to create mis-
chief, and are as undesirable in re-
public as in monarchy. These should
not only receive 10 inducements
to come to our shores, but should be
debarred from entrance. The gates of
Castle Garden should be forever locked
to such, and stringent laws should be
enacted and enforced to keep them
from landing. They are political lep-
ers who spread the contagion of dis
content among unsatisfed people, and
the evil they attempt to SOW is much
easier killed in the germ than throt-
lied to destruction after it has
matured into active life. Action
IN this regard cannot be taken too
soon to avert the consequences
which may follow. Aud while legis-
lators are saving the nation from the
influx of political mischief breeders,
the ballot box should be carefully
guarded, and none but those who are
in harmony with our institutions and
can intelligently exercise the privilege
should be granted suffrage. Only hon
est, industrious and law abiding Immi-
grants are desired, and only patriotic
citizens be allowed to vote.

REFORMS,

During the campaign just closed
Democrats all over the United States
have arraigned the Republican party
for placing heavy burdens upon con-
sumers by means of the Mckinley
bill, in nurturing corporations and piu-
tocrats by class legislation, and in
causing strikes and general depression
in business by favoring the few to the
injury of the many. These and many
other gross outrages have been laid to
the charge of the present administers
tion, and in their platform adopted at
Chicago and in the speeches of their
orators Democrats have promised re-
lief if the sovereign people would give
them the executive and legislative
branches of the government. The citi-
zeus of the country have acceded to
their urgent request in very liberal
manner, and it is now, incumbent on
the great Democratic party, the party
of reform, to redeem its pledges. For
the next four years the president aud
both houses of congress will be as clay
In the hands of the potter to the die
tation of the politicians who secured
the victory, and relief should come
Immediately. 1t should be far-reach-
ing, and the Mckinley bill should be
repealed, and measure imposing
duties only for revenue passed. The
national banks should be abol-
ished, and radical action taken
in regard to trusts. These evils have
been so burdensome upon the people
according to Democratic campaign
oratory-that reforms should be un-
dertaken at once, and a special
session of congress convened for that
purpose. The voice of the people was
loud and emphatic last Tuesday, and
it resounded from Maine to California.
and from the great lakes to the gulf,
and should be needed. Democracy has
paraded with the assumed title of
being party of the people, and now
that it has clear track, with millions
of citizens urging 1t forward, it should
not waver nor hesitate in the course
to be pursued.

DISCIPLINE NECESSITY.

There are very many important les
sons to be learned from the recent de-
feat of the Republican party, and these
may be made profitable if proper ep-
plication is made of them. Not that
we believe the result of the election is
an intelligent condemnation OF the
course pursued by Republicans in the
administration of national affairs, for
the ballot was cast by very many who
could not read the names, and who
did not have the least knowledge of
American institutions. Among the
discontented classes, from whom au-
archy and communism draw their most
earnest disciples, it is only necessary
for any party to howl reform, corrup-
ton and plutocraey to receive their
support. and they exercise the right
of suffrage and throw dynamite
bombs with the same object IN
view the destruction of the ex-
listing order of things. Again, very
many come to this country and vote
before they understand the national
questions discussed in any campaign,
and these are easily swayed by local
prejudices of the community in which
they live. In New York, the mauip-
ulation of Tammany changed many
thousands of votes to the Democratic
candidate. and the great moving cause
with these was neither the tariff, free
silver or the force bill. For these
reasons we do not believe the lessons
taught should be needed in the direc-
tion of the Republican party changing
its principles, but in the management,
and inherent elements of weakness. In
minor matters, when the battle is not
on, Democracy may show broken
ranks; but when the fight begins,
every man is in his place and there is
a solid front presented to the enemy.
This is not so with Republicans, and
frequently in presidential campaigns,
when unity is very necessary, the
members of the party will be found
leaving the ranks and giving strength
to other organizations, which weakens
their forces. The mugwump move
ment in 1884 elected Cleveland, and
the Populists attracted more ltrgely
this year from Republicans than from
other parties. Then the management
is usually at fault, and this year to
fatal degree. There must be unity in
municipal, county, state and national
politics, and now, when the enemy has
completely routed us, "horse, foot and
dragons" is the time to begin. We
need not be ashamed of any policy in
augurated for the past thirty years,
and pay our undivided attention to
discipline. Every precinct in the
country should be in perfect training,
and the combination of these precincts
throughout the nation would form a
complete, harmonious, working politi-
cal army. We have suffered crush
ing defeat; but disaster should make
US more united among ourselves, and
give us greater strength according to
our numbers.

Fight With Convicts.

MADRID, Nov. 16.-Convicts In Tara
gona prison mutinied this morning
They overpowered the guards, and pre-.
pared with outside assistance to effect 6
general escape. Troops were hastily
summoned, and when the convlcts re.
fused to return to their cells the soldiers
fired on them. They advanced on the
troops, however, with all sorts of impro-
vised weapons, and desperate hand to-
hand fight ensued. Some of the soldiers
fell back, reloaded, and as the opportun.
ity offered fired into the convitts, who
were finally overcome; not, however. till

TIL, Alliance Ordered to samoa.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The Alliance
has been ordered from Honolulu to
Samoa after all. The change was made
on the morning before the mail steamer
sailed from San Francisco with the or
iglual orders on account of the late news
from Honolulu, which caused the officials
to think it prudent to keep the Alliance
in that port. Orders were accordingly
sent to have the Ranger, now at San
Francisco, fitted out for service in Samoa.
But i: was subsequently, found too much
delay would be occasloued in getting her
off for this service, and deemiug the sit
uation in Samoa more urgent than that
in Honolulu, it was finally decided to ad-
here to the original order for the Alliance
to sail to Samoa.

Worlds Fair Souvenirs.

The worlds fair souvenir half-dollar, it
is reported, will be the most artistic coin
ever issued from the mint. All of these
souvenir coins, except five, are being sold
at uniform price of 81 each. For the
first coin struck off $4,000 has already
been offered and various prices have been
bid for the 4OOth, 1492d, 1892 and the last
coin. Desiring that these souvenirs be
distributed as widely as possible among
the people, and that all, irrespective of
locality, have an equal chance to obtain
them, the exposition authorities have
thought to prevent syndicates and others
from purchasing large quantities and thus
"cornering" the sale. On the contrary
they have arranged to supply banks, busi-
ness houses and individuals in all parts
Of the country with as many as they may
desire to distribute among their patrons,
customers or friends.

Mr.. Cleveland has decided not to
call any special session of congress af-
ter his inauguration, March 4th. He
will be president after that date, and
will submit to no dictation. This is
very manly and commendable in the
executive of great nation; but he
should not forget that one of the prin-
cipal factors in his election was Tam
many and the work done by It's men,
bers, and they expect remuneration.
Of course, it is presumed that this ring
of politicians did not follow the same
plan of operations that the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union would to
accomplish its purpose, and had some
object in view which may or may not
be in unison with the best interests of
the nation. 1t is foregone conclusion
that they expected the president to be
in harmony before as well as after the
election, and if he is not they will
know the reason why. There will, no
doubt, be some excitement in Demo-
cratic ranks after Cleveland is inaug-
urated.

The social world is somewhat ex-
cited over rumors that Senator Hill,
of New York, is engaged to rich and
beautiful widow in Atlanta, Ca, and
that son of the Milwaukee brewer,
Pabst, has married an actress. These
matters are subjects of no Importance
to American citizens, and shonld re-
ceive little attention. Senator Hill
has the constitutional right as native
American citizen of marrying whom
he pleases, and it is no persons busi-
ness. The same may be said of young
Pabst, who, even if his father is Mil
waukee millionaire, has the uneues-
tionable American privilege Of marry
ing an actress, If he so desires. AS
Americans, we are too apt to forget
the old Anglo, Saxon rule of conduct
of minding our own business and let
ting our neighbor's alone.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 16.-ConsIder-
able surprise is manifested here amongst
Catholics over the investigation of the so
called Jewels aud sacred relics that were
in the possession of the late Father Mo-
lines. The result of the Investigation
shows that the jewels and relics were
nothing but glass and gliding. A grest
many people have worshiped these so
called relics and are greatly chagrlned
over the fact that they were worshiping
an imposition. Father Moline's actions
are spoken of very disparagingly by
members of the congregation.

effect this. Northwestern men who are in
closest touch with the people at home are es-
pecially urgent in the demand for an extra
