English Capital Absorbing Ameri-
can Business.

The Lancashire Insurance Com.
pany Of Manchester, England, has
just bought up American Insurance
companies aggregating capital of
100000 900, and are negotiating for
other companies.
The Alliance Company of London
is said to be DESTROYS of extending
its vast business to all parts Of the
world.
Commenting on the above infoma.
ton the National Economists says /:
The above, taken from the New
York World, discloses a transaction
that should startle every American
citizen. It is conclusive evidence
that the financial contest which Great
Britain has been carrying on against
tho people of this country during
the past thirty years has been more
successful than the contest Of arms
many years ago. Il shows that finan
cial chicanery has forced tribute from
"a 100000 of people that trained
ar1,y failed to secure from less than
four millions. Gradually, yet per-
sistently, English capitalists have
bought up the best paying and most
desirable business in this country
until the great banking institutions
of America have become simply col.
lectors on foreign account. The
people of the United States may
labor hard, economic closely and
multiply production, but lbe remun.
Grafton is fixed almost absolutely by
foreign investors, and the profits OF
all these industries to q large extent
pass into the hands of the alien and

ocean. 1t is said that the United
States pays more interest and divi.
dends to the money.owners Of Eng.
land than any other nation, or any
three Of it's dependencies. II this be
true, the anxiety OF that nation to
further the reign Of dear money is
explained and the interest it mani.
tests in American financial legisla.
ton is accounted for. The urgent
need of reform in this direction is
apparent, and the necessity for rid
ding the country of this tribute. levy

Today's dispatches tell us that Sena-
tors DELPHI and Allen stood side by side,
in the senate yesterday, in fight made
for the settlers within the forfeited por-
tions of the Northorn Pacific grant in
Oregon and Washington. The bill un-
der consideration was proposed by Sena-
tor Dolph to return to the settlers on
these lands $1.25 per acre of the amount
they had paid when the land was sold to
them at the rate charged for within the
limits of the railroad grants. The bill
received favorable consideration. in the
senate two years ago, but this year, for
some unaccountable reason, it was
antagonized both in committee and on
the floor of the senate by strictly party
vote; the democrats in both places
maintaining that the money should not
be returned. No fairer measure ever
came before congress. Settlers who
paid $3.50 an acre for their pre-emptions
or commuted homesteads did 80 under
what was practically an assurance by the
government, that railroad would be
built contiguous to their claims. The
road has not been built. The odd Sec
tions have reverted-so the government
gets the minimum price for the whole
and ought to return to the settlers the
excess which it has received, under what
has proved to bs a false pretense.

- The Importance of sending the right
kind of men to the state conventions of
the two great political parties cannot be
overestimated. The success of either at
the polls, so far, at least, as the state
ticket is concerned, depends entirely on
the selections made. The local interests
at stake are entirely too great to allow
mere partisan politics to interfere. The
party that noniinates railroad man to
the legislature aUiU be defeated. More
than this, the candidates must be clear
of all railroad influence. The Union
Pacific will watch the coming elections
and support with all it's influence the
men it can best use to serve its purposes.
The spending of $1OO,OO by that COM
pany would be a bagatelle, if so be it
could defeat another state portage. This
Is the only regret we have in connection

A way of Cooking Rodents.

The negro slaves of Jamaica used to
regard rats as a dainty, their masters
not providing them with any other meat.
Their method of cooking the toothsome
rodents was to impale each one on a
long wooden skewer, after cleaning the
animal and cutting off the tail, turning
it briskly around over fire until the
hair was all burned off. Then it was
scraped until free from fur, and finally
the end of the skewer was stuck into the
ground. inclined toward the fire, until
it was toasted dry and crisp, thus being
made ready for the meal. Washington

There is no hope for a dalles portage
built by money appropriated by the gen.
eral government. The effort to obtain
an appropriation was honest and well
meant, but it was q forlorn hope from
the beginning. If the government will
let the work by contract and have it
finished in two years the state can have
a portage built by that time, and if the
state ever builds the portage, it will be
built on the Oregon side of the river, and
this means infinitely more to The Dalles
and Wasco and Sherman counties than
if it were built on the other side.

If Boss Moody desires the success of

Times -Mountineer or otherwise put q
limit on his rations of liquid refresh
ments. ''Dead things crawl" says that
servile sheet, ominously enough. If the
Mountaineer's borrowed latin is intended
to mean that Saturdays work was a
Moody triumph, more than dozen men
on the successful ticket will resent it as
an insult. If it was triumph of Moody
it is the triumph of boss who has
butchered every ticket he has helped to
make for half score of years; it is the
triumph of a man who is bound hand

the triumph of man who will bend every

control the state ticket, the only ticket
in which the masses of the people have
