CHANGING FRONT.

OF course over the DETECTION Of Judge
Gresham the Democracy crows much.
But was there ever a campaign of a ma
tional character in which some promi-
nent man did not temporarily change his
politics? We do not recall one. AS
against Judge Gresham's declaration for
Mr. Cleveland in this campaign, Repub-
hcans can point to the change of front by
Hon. George Ticknor Curtis. unquestion-
ably the foremost constitutional lawyer
of the Democratic party. He has de-
clared for General Harrison, and written
extended letters giving his reasons; Judge
Gresham for Mr.. Cleveland; so honors
are easy. Both are distinguished men,
and the sincerity of neither is questioned
But Judge Gresham says he has not be-
come Democrat, and Mr.. Curtis says he
has not changed into a Republican. Both
change their votes this year because of
personal views on the tariff question;
each one claims his party has left him
and there the matter rests.

enced teaching ability, adaptation 10 the
task always being considered.
For we freely admit that it does not fol-
low as matter of course that experience
in teaching and high state of intellect
uallty and skill to impart qualify for tie
teaching of infants. But we do say, and
the whole trend of experienced opinion
on the subject is with US in this, that in
experience, youth and the ability that
commands the low salary are not only
not qualifications, no matter who the
teacher may be, but are to be assumed to
disqualify one for molding the plastic
minds of little children.
The best disciplinarian may not be the
best teacher for infants, but he or she
who has had no practical experience in
training himself or herself in teaching, as
well as the pupils in learning, certainly
is not adapted to the duty In fact, selec-
ton of teachers for the youngest in the
schools should proceed upon the PROPOSE
ton that with experience and educa-
tional fitness there is need also for tact
and natural adaptability for such delicate
work. There need be no fear that there
is not enough of such splendid timber
with which to erect this structure. Let
it be once understood that promotion IS
not from the teaching level in the pri-
mary grade, but toward it from the
others, and we will find the whole teach
ing fraternity bending their energies to
produce precisely what is needed.
We want the best art in the primary
grades, because we want the coming man
and coming woman to be given right di-
rection at the outset in school life We
want the highest training art, and which
is rarely if ever discovered except
| through the test of experience in teach
| ing, applied to the most juvenile ir-the
schools, because what molding is done
at that period is likely to remain in the
matured individual, or its absence to be
made significant by misdirected and i'll
developed life.
Let sympathy, the plea that this or that
person needs aid, political bias and
pressure, all be put aside in selecting the
| teachers for the earliest grades-we object
to the word ''lowest'-for those selected
let the reward be as the law commands,
equal to that paid in tine grammar grades
and thus fulfill requirement founded
on wisdom and that will give us the best
results possible. Let our Board of Ed
ucation think twice; let 1t have the cour-
age to reverse itself, and to declare that
it is not so cowardly us to shrink before
the conventionalism that teachers Of in
tants are low in rank in the teaching life
The board knows as we know that in
refusing to obey the law it simply
knuckles to a false sentiment.

CARD FROM ". B. HAMILTON.

ITO THE VOTERS OF SACRAMENTO
| City and County: have thus lar paid no
attention whatever. through the press, to the
vile and williully .alse attacks ana statements
OF the Bee to defeat my election to the Office
of County Clerk.
have, however, at every point in my can
vass throughout the county unsparingIy de-
nounced them as false and untrue in every
particular, but desire to take this additional
method uf saying u word 10 the voters
AS to any agreement or promise between
Mr. Royster and myself for him to be my
deputy in the event of my election as Count Y
CLERK, there is not a shadow OF truth in it,
Mr. koyster has already permanent posi-
ton upon the Daily News an influential
and growing paper, and at better salary
than l could possibly give him, and the idea
of his leaving ii for employment in the Clerks
Office has never been thought of nor men
toned between US.
therefore brand the entire statement made
by that paper upon the subject as false in ev-
cry line, word and syllable and hereby an
nounce the fact, that if elected County Clerk,
l go into the Office untrammelled by any
promises of positions, ana with no pledge
whatever, except to the people, to conduct the

SENATOR HILL of New York remarks
with far-away look in his eyes as he
muses. on the registration figures: ''Re-
publicans in New York seem to possess
a reserve strength in Presidential cleo
tions which they exhibit in no other
years." Which proves that Senator Hill
is shrewd observer. 1t is true, not only
in New York, but all over the Union,
that Republicans are inspired by an in
dependence and freedom from fear of the
party whip that in other years than Presi-
dental ones makes the voting strength of
the party apparently less than it really is.

EDITOR OF THE CITIZEN: ON AC-
IL count of the continuous attacks made
upon me by the "Bee," and connecting me
with the candidacy of w. B. Hamilton for
County Clerk, wish at this time simply to
say:

against the disreputable sheet known as the
"Bae," and as soon they can be reached in
the courts, will give the public an opportunity
to judge the character of the damnabIy false
and malicious charges, and the same Of the
proprietors Of that Iibelous and conscienceless
sheet,
AS to my becoming deputy in the County
Clerks office, should Mr.. Hamilton be elected
it is a gratuitous lie upon the part of the

markets fuctuate and are over stocked,
judging from the low quotations given.
The supply of potatoes is inadequate for
the demand of the city traders, and deal
ers are compelled to make shipments
from west OF the mountains to meet the
requirements of trade, as sellers seem
inclined to hold Tor better prices. Deal
ers are shipping in valley spuds of best

There is no change in the wheat situ-
alton, other than that the markets are
weaker, which is discouraging to both
holder and seller. Foreign and eastern
markets are very weak and dull. San
Francisco has marked down points
within the last few days on all grades.
The Dalles market is above all others in
quotations comparatively, which have
ranged higher at this point all season
than elsewhere on the coast, owing to
strong competition in transportation,
and the opposing effort of the enemies of
the Peoples Line of Steamers running
between this city and Portland. The
farmers have been the present gamers

MARKET REVIEW,

Current Week.

Summary of Trade and Business for the
Current Week.
THE DALLEs, Nov. 23.-The week has
been void of interest in business circles.
Trade has been lighter than that of the
previous week. Prices remain steady
for staple dry goods, groceries and pro-
visions. The sugar market is somewhat
excited in San Francisco, as they find a
very great scarcity of Yellows on hand
and sharp advance is expected in the
near future. The limited stock of China
sugars on hand will not cut any figure in
holding down present prices, and the
consequence is that the future will bring
dearer sugar.
In produce lines the market is steady.
Eggs are very scarce in the city and
prices are firm at former quotations.
The butter market is lifeless and prices
are steady. Poultry is in good supply,

Oregonian. The Homestead strike
has at length been formally declared off.
1t was in reality lost from the first,
though the strikers were much better
equipped for long siege against capital
than is usually the.case The record is
one of losses in wages aggregating $2,-
100000, disappointment, unrest, social
disorder and financial Embarrassment.
There is still a pathetic sequel to be
added. The places of many of the men
have been filed. The aid which the
federated trades have furnished will now
be withdrawn and hundreds of idle men
and their dependent ones are left to face
the rigors of Pennsylvania winter
wholly without means to make them
tween the bright July day in which the
men were called out of the Homestead
works and the bitter November day in
which they were given permission by
the leaders to again apply for employ
ment therein, is not more marked than
the difference in the situation of many
of the men. The story does not differ
in detail from many that have preceded
it, but it is none the less sad because it
is stale repetition of useless strife, and
its consequent anxiety, misery and de-
feat. As a drama, with Folly in the
title role, such a movement may be con-
sidered successful. There were some
elements of tragedy also in this one, but
the curtain has been rung down and the
actors are lett face to face with reality,
with its pressing demands of food and
shelter and fuel and clothing. Two mil
lion dollars squandered in idleness leaves
a pitiful vacancy in the homes of a
laboring community. and the problem

Superintendent Baxter, of the Union
Pacific, who has been at the landslide at
Reeds ranch for the past week, returned
to the city yesterday. Mr.. Baxter says
he has had 20 years. experience in rail-
roading, but this landslide is the biggest
one he has ever seen. 1t sends down a
mass of stuff about every hour, aud gives
a grand display about twice day, when
huge trees and powders as big as box
cars come down with a noise that is
deafening. In order to get men to work.
it was necessary to station sentries
side of the mountain, and whenever a
slide started, warning was given by
shouting from one to another. The de-
bris has passed clear across Reeds ranch
to the river. Mr.. Baxter says it is a
wonderful sight to look from the river
through glass at the head of the slide.
Trees and rock are seen gradually NOV
ing down into the canyon, till it is
loaded" and then down comes slide.
They are now using dynamite in blow
ing down trees and rocks into the gorge,
and axmen are telling trees in hopes of
getting tangled mass of trees and rocks
in the canyon, which may stop the slid
ing. A number of photographers have
been taking all kinds of views of the
slide and Reeds ranch, or rather what
was ranch, for the buildings are now
all crushed and pushed out of place and
buried.
Incidents OF the Phenomena.
to leave the impression that passengers
may be transferred by telegraph at the
Reed geyser. He tells the Telegram re-
porter that telegraph Offices have been
opened on each side of the obstruction,
with regular operators both day and
night, and all arrangements have been
made to facilitate the transferring of
passengers"
The most absurd story is published by
our worthy contemporary the Oregonian.
We should smile to see those steam
plows at work clearing the Instructions
at Reeds geyser, on the q. P. r. 1t is
right about one thing ''No effective
work can be done until the earth
hardens." This means much expensive
experiment, and long tedious delays.
VIZ Butcheriof Baker City, recent
Cleveland wheel horse in Oregon, is GER
toinly clever predictionist of the OBJ
struction at Reeds, on the U. P. R., he
offers this wonderful theory: ''The
landslide was caused not so much by the
recent heavy storms as by the action of
the river upon the base of the hills.
The bank had been entirely washed
away by the current. The hills are of
soapstone formation, and having been
softened by the heavy rains, and having
no support after the bank had been
washed away, landslide ensued. Mr..
Butcher thinks the slide will continue
until the earth dries up. The top of the
locomotive which was caught in the
slide can be seen from Bonneville" II
intended as joke this is a huge one.
But where would the laugh come in.

Grand Jury Report---The Final of
Criminal Actions.
In the matter of the final report of the
grand jury for the November term, 1892,
we, the grand jury, respectfully report
to the court that we have now been in
session six days and have found and re-
turned into court nine indictments and
five not true bills, and have also inquired
into several matters brought before us
that did not warrant indictments and
upon which no report has been made.
We have also examined and inquired in
to the condition and management of the
comfy Jail and found it secure and in
management of the clerk, sheriff
and treasurer's offices and found them
all in.good condition and all books neatly
kept and all correct so far as we were
able to judge. We find that the vault
in which the records and files of the
clerks Office are kept is getting crowded
and think that by putting in patent steel
files much room could be gained, and the
Office would be made much more con-
venient. We would, therefore, recon-
mend that such files be put in. We also
visited the county poor farm and found
it weil.and carefully kept and managed.
We found that the inmates are all well
cared for, fed and clothed, and entirely
satisfied with the treatment they have
received. Having completed our labors
we respectfully ask to be discharged.

in the bi-chloride of gold treatment
at Dwight under the personal super.
vision of DIR. Kelley.
The patient, upon his arrival at
the institute, is conducted to the Office
OF the company, where he is register
ed, goes through short examination
as to his general health, the amount
OF st'mulants he uses daily and what
kind. He is required to give up any
liquors Or drugs which he may still
have about him, receives hypoder-
mic injection or "shot," as it is un-
iversally called; a drink if he is in
need of it; an eight-ounce bottle of
the double gold cure, and is then
taken, under the direction of an obli-
ging attendant to some one of the
hotels, where he remains until he can
select for himself suitable boarding
place. There is no long list of print,
ed rules; no attempt at personal
supervision; no arbitrary orders as
to when you shall lie down or rise
up. The most important require
ments of the patient is a voluntary
acceptance and a sufficiently earnest
recognition of the object to be at
tanned and to implicitly observe all
directions, which are by no means
difficult. The only restrictions to
be observed while under treatment
are that the patient shall not leave
the city without permission; that he
must be regular in the use of the
double chloride Of gold rs directed,
and visit the Office four times day
at specified hours for hypodermic
treatme mt. In all else he Is free to
seek such amusement or recreation
as his taste or fancy may suggest.
After three weeks of this treatment
the patient ordinarily is cured and
is at liberty to return to his friends
and in what different guise than
''forth he rode"' Some cases re-
quire more time than this, and a
patient is not allowed to 60 until the
physician is satisfied that he is not
only cured of his appetite for liquor
or opiates, but is in good bodily
health as we'll. The cost Of treat
ment, which includes all medicines
and medical attendance while the
patient remains in the institute is
