An exchange truthfully says: "The
national Democratic platform is a
cumbersome document, full of denun-
Citations and promises. 1t particularly
denounces reciprocity and the Nc
Kinley tariff, and promises many
things if the people will only place
Democrats in power again. As tbs
Democratic party has never yet kept
any of its pledges to the people, either
for good or ill, 1t is scarcely probable
that they will do 80 now, or that the
people will give them chance. There
are few good things in the platform,
which are copied from the Republican
platform. The platform favors the
construction of the Nicaraugua canal,
the maintenance of a navy and lib
eral support of the Worlds Columbian
exposition.

THE sHIP-RAILWAY.


The Astorian has always been a
staunch advocate Of the improvement
of the Columbia river, and never
misses an opportunity to put forth
earnest efforts to that end. 1t has
stood firmly by Senator Dolph in his
advocacy Of the ship-railway, and
realizes that this is the only means
by which this great artery of commerce
can be made Of permanent benefit to
producers Of the northwest. In re-
cent issue it has the following to say
regarding this matter:
Senator Dolph may after all obtain the
appropriation which he asks for the pro-
posed ship railway at the dalles. At the
recent interview with the house confsrees,
he persisted firmly in his claims, and was so
confident that the ship railway is practic-
able that he offered to accept proyiso by
which the question would be submitted to q
board of seven engineers to be appointed by
the president. This offer was not accepted
by the house conferees and they parted
without fixlng day for further discussion.
There il now no valid objection to the
scheme. The amount is large but it is to
be disbursed gradually oyer series of
years. the burden will fall lightly on the
country which within few years will be
more than repaid for its expenditure by the
impulse which an open river will give to the
development of the vast wheat-growing
region tributary to the Columbia, as well as
by the benefits which Astoria, Portland and
Vancouver will derive from the increased
trafic on the great river. We hope that a
speedy settlement will be attained. As it
il, the value of the Columbia to this section
is incalculable. It is absurd for the sake Of
few millions to restrict the usefulness of
the great river and compel farmers to pay
excessive rates for the conveyance of their
grain to market. In order that we may
retain our hold on foreign markets all such
obataelss must be removed.
All papers published in the vast
region Of country tributary to the
Columbia river should sustain Senator
Dolph in his fight against the notions
Of Gov. Pennoyer for portage road
and the statement of Mr.. Blanchard
that Oregon is receiving too much in
the River and Harbor bill Every
dollar appropriated for the Columbia
is for the benefit of the northwest, and
Idaho and Washington is as much in
terested as Oregon in an open river.
If vote were taken on the question
We believe the railway would be
endorsed by every producer in the In
land Empire.

The Republicans never tire Of desig-
mating their party as one of progress.
1t is such party, but its progress is
in surrendering this government into
the hands of capital and destroying it
as republic. Four years more of
Harrison rule would turn it into
plutocraoy and nothing but such
contest as the nation passed through
in the sixties would bring it back to
republic-Ldaho World. Such twad-
die should emanate from no other
source than that of the defunct Demo-
cratic party. The talk about "surren-
dering the government into the hands
Of capital and destroying it as re-
public" is "bosh." Jay Gould, Van
derbilt, the Astors and others have
gained their wealth by means which
have not been under the control of
either Republican or Democratic ad-
ministrations, and they would acquire
riches under almost any conditions.
But the worst trash in the excerpt is
that with "four years more of Harri-
sons rule would turn it 1.-THE country]
into q plutocracy that nothing but

The Pendleton East Oreaoniaa

The Pendleton East Oregoniam is in
line with the Democratic nominations.
For the past four years it has howled
for the single-tax theory and free
trade and free.silver, and now. it swal-
lows Cleveland and his plutocratic
notions. Such is always the course
pursued by Bourbon organs. During
"off-years" they are very independent;
but when presidential campaigns are
inaugurated they are decidedly Dem
cratic.

have presented facts and arguments
which had convinced them that if his
candidacy should be adopted by the
convention the consequences must be
disastrous, and for the present fatal to
the Democratic cause. But no sane
man has ever doubted that the chiefs
of this great and victorious party (yic-
torious we mean in the state of New
York having taken their places as
delegates in the convention and sub
mitted their we VS. to its consideration,
would loyalty abide by its decision and
do their utmost to elect whatsoever
candidate it might finally determine to
nominate. All honor to that unqual-
ifed Democrat, that faithful and fear
less politician, that successful cham
pion, D. B. Hill, the only statesman
of the Democracy possessing the cour-
age and spirit to offer himself as a
leader against the claim to third
nomination set up for once defeated
aspirant."

President Harrison is criticised be-
cause he has favored the appointment
of Mr.. Campbell chairman of the
national Republican committee in
stead Of Mr.. Clarkson. 1t is quite
natural that the president should feel
kindly towards those who have the
same disposition towards him. This
is human nature, and is the same in
emperor or empress of an empire, king
or queen of a nation, or president of q
republic.

said to Be Bad Political Hove.
WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Some grum-
bling was heard to day because President
Harrison did not accept MIR. Clarkson as
chairman of the national committee. II
is claimed that he did not show good po
litical judgment in making Campbell
chairman, and refusing to place the man
agement of the campaign in the hands of
those men who opposed him most bitter
ly at Minneapolis, thereby putting them
| on their honor TO do what they could to
elect the ticket. That is one view of the
| case, while tue more conservative and
sound view is that the president desired
the management of the campaign to De
in the hands of persons who would con-
suit freely with him on the matter of
Campaign policies ana the pro per course
to pursue.
RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
Paul F. Mohr made very vigorous
| and vicious attack upon Senator Dolph
ia a circular letter which he issued to
senators yesterday. 1t is in the nature
of an open letter and replied to Senator
Dolph's speech of June 16, when the
senator scored Mr.. Mohr very severely.
1t is all over the boat t-railway scheme,
and only served to make the feeling for
and against that project more bitter on
each side. Senator Dolph says he has
not read the circular and be has nothing
to say in reply to man whose mode of
| warfare is such as that adopted by Mr..
Mohr. The open letter claims it is the
only way Mohr Is allowed to get hear
| Ing before the senators, or a reply to a
| speech like that of Senator Dolph's. The
general public, however, do not care so
much about warfare between the Oregon
senator and the Washington state capt.
talist, but are more particularly interest
ed in the project for the improvement of
the Columbia river. Representative
Hermann says it is not possible to pass
the boat-railway project through the
house; that the members will not accept
it, and would suffer the defeat of the
bill before committing themselves to it.
He asserts that an appropriation for a
canal and locks at the dalles would
| receive favorable action, and probably
could be obtained In the next river and
| harbor bill.

The anniversary of the natal day Of
the republic is rapidly approaching,
and it is to be expected that political
chickering's will cease until after the
celebration. For brief period Dem
ocrats and Republicans can afford to
dwell in harmony, and the former
should forget equitable adjustment
and the opposition Of the latter to the
plan of reconstruction, resumption of
specie payment and protection to
American industries. After the grand
event, which should be patriotically
celebrated by all parties, Republicans
will have ample opportunities to show
to the. country the unpatriotic stand
Democracy has taken for aquarter Of
q century on payment of the national
debit internal improvements and
American manufactures and pro-
ductions-against the world.

The Wasco Independent academy
should be an institution of learning that
would attract students from every por-
ton of the northwest, and with proper
management on the part of the direct
ors we believe it would be very sue
cessful. At different times there have
been as presidents Prof 7. N. Catch,
an educator who has an excellent rep
utation throughout the northwest;
Prof Willis, q thorough scholar and
as good linguist as was ever on the
Pacific coast; Prof. Torbert, good
teacher; and recently, Prof. Ingalls,,
q thoroughly educated gentleman; but
they have been employed but two or
more years until q change was made,
and we understand the last named
will not have charge Of the school for
the coming year. These have all been
assisted by able corps of teachers, who
took charge Of the different depart
partmsnts very acceptablv to the pu-
pills; but for some reason, after serv-
ing short time they have
been dismissed or have resigned.
This academy was built by pub
lie subscriptions and the people are
interested in ITS continuance. 1t can
not survive with this constant change
of principals and teachers, and when
an able man is at the helm he should
be continued in Office at q good salary.
There is no reason whatever that with
competent instructors the Wasco In
dependent academy at The Dalles
should not be the leading institution
of learning in the Inland Empire.

the rear of the Home Plate saloon on

said to have prompted the suicide.

Green, the murderer, Held .

GoLDENDALE, WASH, June 29.-The
preliminary trial of John Green for the
murder of Bill Dunno was held yesterday
before Squire Clark Duvall. The court
house was crowded. Much sympathy
was aroused when the old man, Michael
Green, father of the murderer, came into
the courtroom. Michael Green, in pio-
neer days, was one of the leading BUSH
ness men of The Dalles, Or. The court
held Green without bonds, and ordered
the principal witnesses to be each placed
under $500 bonds to appear at the supe-
rior court when the case is called.

The Cholera:

ST. PETERsBURG, June 29.-The doc
tors sent by the government have arrived
at Baku to aid In combating the rayages
of the cholera. The Russian fotilla in
the Caspian sea has been ordered to
watch all ships leaving Persian ports.
Quarantine stations in the trans. Caspian
territory are increased in number. One
week has been added to time of quaran-
tine. Imports of food are subjected to a
strict medical examination. Everything
in medical science will be done to stamp
out the scourge. In DzIsak, Turkestan,
130 died in four days. The epidemic
prevails in more virulent form at
Waahka, in the trans Caspian territory.
Brandy, sugar and tea are daily distrib
uted to the troops.
Fears that the disease would invade
European Russia have been realized
Already several hundred cases are re
ported on this side of the frontier. In
habitants and troops along the frontier
are panic c-strscken. The wealthy classes
are seeking safety in flight. It is re-
ported cholera has appeared in Tsarit-
sin, on the Volga. If true the scourge is
almost certain to ravsge the famine
stricken provinces. Officers have been
dispatched to Tsaritsln and Tifis with
full authority to adopt all measures to
arrest the spread of cholera through
railway traffic. The scourge Is abating
at Meshed. Official reports say there
were 374 deaths out of 512 attacked dur
ing the month of June over a wide area
This is alarming, especially in view of
the rate of mortality.
IN GERMANY AND AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, June 29.-Germany and Aus
tria are acting in coucert to prevent the
entrance of cholera. Professor Drasche,
of the Vienna sanitary board, who has
been studying cholera 80 years, thinks it
improbable the disease will spread be-
yond Russia, even if it gets q foothold
there. He says that in other countries a
bad sanitary con ndition, like that which
obtains in Russia, has become thing of
the past.

Roster Going In the Light Battery.
Shines Retirement.
An important change is on the tapis In
the Second Artillery Regiment. \. G. c.,
and will be undertaken shortly with the ap-
prevail of the colonel commanding. The
change Is no less a one than that Lieuten-
ant-Colonel j. A. Roster will leave the
field and become a line officer. Captain ii.
L. Sine, who for so long period has COM
manded Battery A. will step down and out
by asking to be placed on the retired list.
The lieutenant colonel VIII succeed him,
and as the battery is new practically with
only one other line officer. Lieutenant Beh-
neman, and as the latter is willing to give
way to tie new order of things. the COM
mand viii also have new set Of officers,
Lieutenant-C0lOnelk Roster finds in the
light artillery his pet branch OF the service,
and the change vii! be thoroughly TO his
tastes. 1t is his plan TO continue in the
aTmOTy on Pacific avenue, of which the bat
terry has ten years lease, Tehabilitate the
organization. and remain attached TO the
regiment he thinks also that with the in
huence which he can command, aided By
that OF set of young fellows whom he
proposes to bring into the battery, he can
prevail upon the representatives of the State
IN Congress TO have the War DepaI tment
issue to the battery the new and improved
ordnance.
With this vacancy in the field there viii
necessarily come about other changes.
Major Dennis Geary, it is conceded. has
earned for bis services in the regiment the
right to the lieutenant-colonelcy, aside from
the fact that he is the next officer in line of
promotion. lie is the candidate
For major there seems to be no doubt
that Captain Adolf h Huber is the man, so
that lie will more than have satisfied his
yearning for a brevet majorship. Captain
Waters. the senior in the regiment,
is said to have announced that he is content
to remain a line officer.
AS Captain Huber's successor in Com
pany c, Lieutenant Boxton has announced
himself in the ring, If for no other reason
than that he can boast of being on an equal
ity in actual rank with his double in the
First Infantry, Captain Tiiden, lately
Dreyated major
