II Should be Opened.

The sooner the Pendleton Saw
ings bank is opened the better it
will be for Pendleton, for the people
and for the depositors. Ifthe bank
stays in the hands of the receiver
all the notes due the bank will
have to be collected by action in
courts and the depositors viii not
receive all their money within
anything like the time stated in
the proposition to reopen the bank.
In truth, if the bank is not reopen
ed, not only will the depositors
have to do without their money
but those who owe the bank will
be put to much expense and in
many instances be made bankrupt
by enforced collection of their obli-
cations due the bank. It would
mean much hardship and would
result in great loss to many worthy
men who cannot stand to be press
ed and made to pay at the present
time.--E. 0.

Within A Week.

Dubois, Of Idaho, who took
leading part in Arranging for a
continuation of the fight against
unconditional repeal, said a vote
would probably come within aweek
as there would not be any opposi-
ton or attempt at filibustering,
He said "The speeches which
have been begun will be finished,
and such other speeches as the sem
ators may desire to deliver. 1t is
understood that Teller has some
thing yet to say, and Stewart and
Jones desire to conclude their work.
Allen also desires to make further
remarks. The leaders on the dem
ocratic side said they would stand
by us if would continue the fight,
Harris and others declared it was
their determination to prevent a
vote from being taken, even if
methods not yet invoked should be
used. With this understanding
we declared our intention of keep
ing up the fight. This morning
Harris gave the same assurance,
but an hour latter he came to me
and said he felt it his duty, after
the assurance he had given, that he
would not continue the fight as sug-
gested, but would yield to the pres
sure of his associates ON the demo-
cratic side. He said he spoke for
the silver men on that side. told
him if we could no longer depend
upon the friends of silver on the
democratic side we could no longer
keep up the contest, and that u
vote might be taken after the de
bate had closed, but that there will
be no more obstruction. The sill
yer men will offer amendments
and debate them, and will probab-
ly vote for all the amendments
which promise anything for silver.
1t is impossible to say when a vote
viii be taken, but | should think
within q week"

An Oregon Horse.

Challenger Chief bred and raised
by j. w. Wisdom, of Baker City,
and entered through the grand cir
cult in California. is proving him
self a trotter, says the Democrat.
He has won four or five races in
which he has started and reduced
his record to 2:16, which is the
stallion record of the North Pacific.
His last performance was at Santa
Anna, October II, in field of
eleven horses sired by such STALL
ions as Guy Wilks, Simmons,
Stamboul, and over which
he was victorious after five hard
fought heats. The California pap
ers say he is one Of the finest look
ing and gamest trotters, which
speak volums for the Baker county
horse, and goes far to prove that
Eastern Oregon beats the world for
producing trotting horses.

What the Silver Men Think

Representative Bartine, OF
Nevada, who has been in Wash
ington during the entire silver
fight, to certain extent as repre-
sentative of the interests of the
West, speaking of the situation,
said there was no hope for silver.
He continued:
II expect to see silver go to 40
cents an ounce. There is only one
thing to prevent it, and it is by
shutting down all of the big silver
mines, which will be the case in
Nevada. At the same time | think
unconditional repeal much better
than the compromise proposed, be-
cause with that we would have lit
tie opportunity to go before the
people with any hope of winning a
silver victory. Now we may make
such strides toward it in the next
election that even so unfavor-
able an executive as President
Cleveland will be compelled to do
something for silver"
Senator Allen, of Nebraska,
talked about the political effect in
the West. In Nebraska, he said, it
meant a populist victory, and that
Senator Manderson would be sue
ceeded by third-party man. 1t
is supposed Bryan would be ready
to go into the populist party and
make a race against Manderson.
Bryan himself says he thinks the
action of the senate, or. rather, con-
gress, in passing unconditional re-
peal, would strengthen the silver
democrats. He would not say
what he would do, but mentioned
the fact that Bland warned Eastern
democrats they had reached the
parting Of the ways, and he would
see how they would part. The sill
yer men all say very frankly they
prefer unconditional repeal to any
such compromise as agreed on
among the democrats Monday.

TIE gold cure has been tried il

THE gold cure has been tried in
the past year in the National
Home fof disabled volunteers and
all its branches, with the result,
according to Manager Outwait's re-
port, Of reforming 14,000 inmates.
It may perhaps be premature to
declare a cure of inebriety Of not
more than years standing COM
plete. Drunkards who have vol
unfairly, or under moral or social
stress Of some kind, quit drinking
for a much longer period than that
have not infrequently returned to
their grog and become more besott-
ed than ever. Still it is something
if a method has been applied tothis
home and its branches that has
made 14,000 financially dependent
ex-soldiers more manly, decent
and orderly in their habits than
before, even though the reformation
is not permanent one. .-Oregonian.

ofgetting the rings support for the

Honor to whom honor is due. 1t
is as refreshing as an oasis in a
desert to find Senator Dolph voting
against Van Aliens confirmation.
Somehow Mr.. Dolph has been as
sociated in the public mind with
plutocracy to such an extent that
this action was not expected OF
him. That it was not expected
makes it all the more grateful. We
often disagree with Mr.. Dolph and
never fail to signify cur disappro-
baton of his course wheE we think
he is wrong. We should be equal
ly free with our commendation
now that we think he is right. The
Van Allen appointment was pub
lie scandal, and we are astonished
that a majority ofthe senator's did
not see it in that light.-Telegram.

THIS AND THAT

1t costs Is or 20 cents bushel
to ship wheat from the Pacific coast
to Europe. With a canal across
the isthmus of Central America it
would cost 5 cents a bushel. This
means a saving Of from $4,000 900
to $4,000,000 to California wheat
interests alone. 1t means a great
addition to tho export trade of
Oregon and Washington. These
facts and figures will continue to
render the canal live issue, not.
withstanding the misfortune which
has overcome the Nicaragua project.
The Dalles Chronicle.
1t has been settled. The battle

heighborhood of $500 and will be
engraved with Oregon scenery.
This money is to be raised BY pop

after the matter. The service
should be the finest ever placed on

Ivory Billiard Balls Stained with Blood.

Ivory Billiard Balls Stained with Blood.
The globe of ivory which is knocked
about table ina game Of billiards costs,
If of good quality, at least $10 This rep
resents its cost in money. There is,
however, q far more important and for
midable element in the price which has
been paid for it. The billiard ball Of
pure ivory represents as it lies white
and glistening upon the cloth an expend-
iture of human lifeblood as well as Of
money.
Elephants tusks are brought down to
the African coasts by caravans general
ly in charge of Arabs, which have been
trading in the interior. Very often they
have picked up slaves as well as ivory.
But this phase Of the matter may be left
out Of the account.
It is estimated that every large caravan
bringing ivory to the coast has cost more
than 100 human lives through fights and
murders in the course Of the expedition.
Thirty more men are likely to have sue
cumbed to fevers or other diseases and
the fatigues of the march.
The hunting of the elephants and the
capture Of the ivory are very likely to
have caused the death Of 10 men alto
gether. Such casualties are the rule
In elephant hunting rather than the ex-
ception.
An average tusk Goes not furnish more
than enough material for two good bill
lizard balls. OF course the remainder Of
the ivory in each tusk is made use Of in
other ways, Aperfectly cut billiard bal
requires special quality or SO called
'nerve," which is found only in one part
! Of the tusk.
The chances are that a billiard ball o.
the first quality has cost at least one hu
man life, and theraAis not one such bal
which may not truly be said to bt
stained with human blood. They car
hardly be considered. therefore. cheer

tho chief justice, when a boy, was a
member. One evening Capital Punish
ment" was the subject debated. The
deacon Of the church and two clergymen
were for hanging. Young Fuller was
opposed.
Said the deacon, quoting from the Mo-
saic law, "Whoso sheddeth mans blood,
by man his blood shall be she'd" Think
ing this to be o bombshell to his oppo-
nents. he dwelt upon it till his time had
expired, when the boy sprang to his feet
and said:
"Supposing we take the law which the
gentleman has quoted and see what the
logical deduction would come to- For
example, one man kills another; another
man kills him, and so on until we come
to the last man on earth. Who's going
to kill him? He dare not commit sui

against the repeal bill, and was followed

larger part of his speech to an argument
IN favor of the repeal of the tax on state
