The large plant OF the Portland Distillery
and Cattle Feeding company at Troutdale
was destroyed by fire last night. Flames
broke out in the main building of the dis
tillery about $40, and by midnight the en-.
tire structure was in ashes. The fire was
not discovered until it was too late to save
the building, and its origin is shrouded in
mystery. 1t is reported that the building
was fired by lncendiaries, as there was no
one known to be in it for some time before
the fire was discovered. In very short
time the whole structure was one mass of
flames. The sky was illuminated for miles,
and strong east wind carried sparks and
embers to the property adjoining. For a
while it looked as if the buildings of the
American Dressed Meat Company and the
Union Pacific depot would go down before
the flames too. but through the heroic efforts
of large force of willing helpers these
buildings were saved. A well organized
bucket brigade was all that stayed the
progress of the fire, and those who consti-
tuted this body worked like Trojans until
all danger was passed. The roof of the de.
pot and freight house took FIRE several times
and the roof of the American Dressed Beef
plant was ablaze once. Through
hard work. however. the little brigade of
confined the flames to the build |
ing in which the fire had started. the loss |
Is estimated at $loO. 900.

better natural advantages. With the
woolen industry, it is far different.
Our natural facilities are such that all
qualities can be grown in the United
States. if foreigners are kept at dis
tanee until the industry is properly
developed. In this regard protective
duties are necessary to nurture this
factor of independence and wealth. A
nation should attempt to stand alone,
and not permit itself to be over
powered by other nations that thor
oughly understand the economics of
all questions. This has been the pol
icy of this government since it was
organized, and the result has been
very successful. 1t has so far ad-
vanced as manufacturing nation that
it can now inaugurate reciprocal re-
latlons with South American nations,
thus increasing trade and carrying out
more fully the doctrines of protection.
The principles are simple, and are
easily understood by every man who
loves his home and country, and give
preference to those of his family and
displays an interest in the prosperity
of the community.

The faction which has domineered
over the politics of this county has
met defeat at the primaries, the county
convention and in the state conven-
tion. Elated by success at the last
city election-which was carried in it's
interest by the most disreputable
methods known to politics-it set it
self up as political Caesar, and long
before the primaries boasted that
it would dictate the nominees in both
county and state conventions. In this
it has met most disastrous Waterloo,
and it must learn by experience that
the people rule in The Dalles and
Wasco county. For the past twenty
years this selfish clique has impeded
enterprise and progress in this city
until The Dalles to-day is a synonym
all over the northwest for "mossback-
ism, and carried its spleen against
those who opposed it into political,
business and social relations. We hope
this utter rout CT its forces, "horse, foot
and dragons, will'teach it a practical
lesson in good behavior and respect for
the rights of others.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., April 7-Complete
returns from all parts of the state show
total vote of the state ticket of 81, TAG,
an increase of about 1000 over the
largest vote ever polled before. The two
parties raked every city and town almost
bare of voters, and got out an unexpected.
ly unprecedented full vote In actual num-
bers and in proportion to the possible
vote. Finished returns show great Re
publican victory on the state ticket.

lieutenant governor and secretary of
state, are also elected by small majorilles,
but there is no election for attorney
general and general treasurer.
The cities of Providence, Newport and
Woonsocket went Democratic on the
state ticket. Legislative returns show a
good Republican majority in both
branches already, with between fifteen
and twenty vacancies yet to be filled.
In the senate the republicans have
thus far elected twenty of the thirty six
members, and IN the house fourty-one of
seventy members. This gives them
sixty one on joint ballot, majority of
SIX, besides vacancies yet to be ii Led by

to elect are In Providence and Newport.
In the former city only three of thirteen
members OF the Legislature were chosen,
and in Newport only one out of six. The
other failures were scattered among the

Almost every lawyer in the first
congressional district is candidate for
congress- or for circuit judge; but some
of them will oe weighed in the balance
and found wanting. In this progress
i've age of the world it is not necessary
that every candidate for congressional
or judicial honors should be an attor-
ney, and it may be just as well that
some of the candidates be chosen from
persons who are not admitted to the
profession. A layman sometimes de-
tends the faith equal to one to the
manner born, and an ordinary citizen
may fill an Office equal to one bred to
the profession; but it is always prefer
able for lawyers to be judges; bur
other official positions may be as well
filled by some one not drilled to the
technical quibbles of Blackstone and
Kent. For these reasons the people
of the northwest may look to other
sources than the legal profession if
they need candidates for, the judicial
or congressional positions. But we
believe there will be no difficulty in
this regard.

MELBOURNE, April THE coroner's

murder against Fred B. DeemIng in the
case of his wife. formerly Miss Mather,
whom he murdered at Rainhill, Epgland,
and whom he murdered and buried at
Windsor, suburb of Melbourne, ON or
about last Christmas day. Deeming re

During the inquest yesterday the cor.

writer said the coroner must treat the
murderer with great lmpartial,ty and
that if he did not get justice the writer
would take the cOroner's life IN open
court. The letter Is supposed to have
been written by "a crank, or to be hoax.

THE PLATFORM.

The platform of principles adopted
by the Republican state convention is
safe and sound on all national and
local questions, and is broad and COM
prehenslve on all subjects. 1t was to
be expected that Republicans would
advocate no untried theory regarding
the tariff, when protection had proved
so successful to American industries
and the wealth and prosperity of the
nation. The issues In this campaign
are very similar to those in 1883, and
although the verdict of American
citizens has been in favor of the pro-,
tective policy, yet the Democrats are
ANXIOUS to try another appeal to the
people, as evinced by the passage of
the Springer free-wool bill in the house
yesterday. Republicans need not be
ashamed of their record on this eco
nomic question, and in every state
platform in the union strong plank
should be inserted in favor of the Nc
Kinley bill.
On the silver question the platform
may not suit the ideas of all Republi-
cans; but it is not as wide gauge as un.
limited coinage would have been, and if
simply the product of the silver mines
Of the United States is added to the
of the people we cannot
realize where there would be any OBJ

The election IN Rhode Island is in
dicatlve of the state of public feeling
on the question of protection. This
state grows little raw material, and its
manufacturing industries give employ
ment to thousands of its citizens. The
Springer free-wool bill was drafted for
manufacturing New England, and the
Democrats imagined they could easily
capture "Iittle Rhody" and fire the
first gun for tariff reform. But in
this they were mistaken, as they will

was shot in the arm in fight with horse
thieves, died this morning at Fort Spokane
from blood poisoning. HIS arm was badly
shattered by the bullet, but his life and
even the arm might have been saved had il
not been tor the long hours during which he
lay and bled IN the mud of Hughs' corral.
Word was telegraphed here last night that
the chances of recovery were against him.
In the morning it was decided that his arm
must be amputated in order to save his life,
but it was all to no purpose, and the brave
deputy sheriff died.
1t has been learned that the greatest in.
dignlties were heaped upon Spencer as he
lay helpless and wounded in the corral

then took the floor to close the debate en-
