The Idaho Miners.

WARDNEs, Idaho, Aug. 24.-The board
of officers appointed to Investigate the
alleged Ill, Treatment of prisoners at WAL
lace made thorough examination of the
premises and interviewed Breeu, Petit
bore, Leisure and others. They could
find no existing cause for any of the pub
lished reports of maltreatment of prison
ers. Not more than 90 of the prisoners
will be indicted before the United States
grand jury. The question now arises,
win the state arrest the men who will be
released on other charges9 The whole
affair, from beginning to end, has been
too gigantic for the state authorities to
handle. They have pursued SO vacillat-
ing course the public is rapidly arriv-
ing at the conclusion that the prisoners
will escape deserved punishment, while
the state will have expended vast sum
of money to no purpose.

Mr.. Eshelman, temporary chairman
of the Democratic convention at Olym-
pia, WASH, in his speech of accept
ance, expressed regret that "American
tin mines had been exhausted in maxi
ing gavels for cbairmen of Republican
conventions. The only relevancy in
this remark we can see is Democratic
sarcasm against the protected indus
tries, and this Is always relevant in
free-trade speech, even one accepting
temporary craftsmanship. We never
heard of "tin gavels;" but Puget Sound
timber make good ones, and this is
protected against the foreign article.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 25.-As the night
watcbman at Longview asylum was on
bis rounds last night his attention was
attracted by violent knocking on the
door of room occupied by supposedly
docile patients. Hastily opening it be
saw Henry Gerwing lying on bis back,

The action of ths Washington Dem

The action of the Washington Dem
ocratic convention in session in not
endorsing the Lake Washington canal
scheme, and the report of the minority
of the committee on platform in de-
nouncing the project will be endorsed
by many Republicans in the north
west. 1t is not right to ask govern
ment aid for any Improvement of
means Of water transportation which
only benefits single state or portion
of state, and this is as true in rela-
ton to Oregon as it is to Washington.
The canal from Lake Washington to
Puget Sound would furnish Seattle
with a fresh water harbor for her
shipping, and thus rid craft which load
at that port of barnacles and the
wharYes from the destructive inroads
of teredos. But this would not help
any other city on the Sound, and it is
therefore of such a local nature that
congressional appropriations should
not be expected. At the recent ses-
sion it was tackled on as an amend
ment to the River and Harbor bill,
and was one of the principal causes
that the boat-railway-in which Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho are directly
defeated in the house.
1t is too often the case that senators
and representatives in Washington
City, to please their constituency, in
ject into this great measure for the
of navigable rivers, little
schemes of local interest, and this has
caused the River and Harbor bill to
be viewed with suspicion by many
honest congressman who would
otherwise support its provisions. If
The state of Washington desire to
,uild this canal for the benefit of Sc
title and other ports on the Sound,
he people of Oregon should raise no
but when the delegation
rom that state attempt to hamper
he bill for the Improvement of the |
Columbia, which drains, with its trib-
ltaries, nearly 100000 square miles
nd portions of three states, then the
northwest is interested.

For this reason the institution has be-

their children to be intelligent and in

Oregon, we can say that drill in
some line of honest daily labor will
not deteriorate from tie excellence of
a scientific or literary education.

them. Considerable excitement has been
caused by the appearance OF cholera
among the troops. Three cases of the
disease aud one death have occurred in a
regiment temporarily quartered here.
The regiment has been ordered to leave
Hamburg and remain isolated until all
risk of its spreading the infection has
passed. The weather continues to be iu-
tensely hot, and the SUP, unfortunately,
favorable to the growth of cholera germs.
There is, however, more wind prevailing
to day, and this adds somewhat to the
comfort of the city. Yesterday there
we're S2 new cases of the disease reported,
and the deaths amounted to 81.
THIS IS BETTER NEWS.
PARIS, Aug. 25.-The sanitary chief of
the war Office declares that the cholera
in Paris, Havre. and Rouen is abating
and that 1t will soon disappear. Thus
far in August there have been recorde
3e5 cases of cholera and lO4 deaths from
the disease in Havre. The medical au-
thorities declare that the disease there is
not of the Asiatic type, although many
victims have died Immediately after be-
ing attacked. The French steamer Saint
Andre, from Havre. which has been quar-
antlned at Panalic, has four cases of
cholera aboard, and one death has occur

Twenty-eight cases of cholera and sew

TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD.

AS we frequently have said, we like
the British free-trader because he tells
the truth, though 1t hurts him, says an
eastern exchange, and we despise the
American free-trader because he will
not tell the truth when it would serve
him lust as we'll as falsehood.
This is what the London Times said
on the 29th day of July last:
All the operatives employed at the Melyn
tin-plate works in the Swansea district have
struck work in consequence of wage dis
pute with the masters. Many of the other
Welsh tin-plate works are now being closed
owing to great depression in the trade, and
to the diminution OF prices. One of the
largest tin-plate manufacturers In the prin-
cipality wrote yesterday: The American
senate will not confirm the decision of the
other house, and the tariff will remain In
force. TEMPLATES are selling at simply ruin.
ons prices, and a large number Of tin.plate
scorks are closed The demand for block
plate tor America is very large, and growing
daily, shosoin9 that the timing process is max
ing great strides IN America. The result
must be that in few months more tin
houses in Wales will haye to be closed
That is the truth, as the English
free-trader tells it; he laments "the
diminution of prices" made in tin-plate
by the United States tariff. The un-
truth, as the American free-trader
tells it, is that the price of tin-plate is
"higher on account of the tariff.
1sTin-plates," says the truthful Eng
lishman, ''are selling at simply ruinous
prices" Says the untruthful Ameri-
can free-trader, "tin-plates are selling
at higher prices than ever before"
.The thinning process" says the candid
Englishman, Sis making great strides
in America" "The tin-plate indus
try" says the false-hearted American
free-trader, sis making no headway in
the United States"
The Englishman has temptation
to falsehood, for the truth shows a
condition of affairs that is distressing |
to his country. The American free
trader is untruthful despite of every |
noble impulse urging him to tell the
truth, for the truth reveals condition
of affairs that is beneficial to his coun-
try. But noble impulse does not seem
to affect him. He is happy only when
an American enterprise fails, and
proud only when some foreign country
gains an advantage over this republic.

Peace reigns in all the cities lately
disturbed by strikes, and in little
while railroads will be running and
factories in operation the same as if
nothing had happened. 1t is evidence
of the confidence of our people in free

cause no pernanent stagnation'to busi-

that he was never opposed to the gov
