There will unquestionable he change
from the even tenor of the ReEubll-
can manner of transacting business.
Democrats in congress vino are anx-
ious to transact business have pro-
posed to adopt "Tom Reeds rules. :"
Old time mossback Democrats are ter
ribly shocked at the suggestion. They
would sooner see congress wreck every
business enterprise by a years quarrel
over "silver' and "the robber tariff
than to humiliate the party by step
ping onto Reeds platform. But they
may have to do it.
The article in the Pendleton Tribune
regarding the cowhiding affray in this
city last Friday afternoon, does great
injustice to the citizens of The Dalles
in the deductions made, and it is very
evident the editor is ignorant of the
circumstances. 1t is to he deplored
the conditions were such that made the
act passible and even excusable, and
the fact of their existence is greater
disgrace to the city than the unfortu-
| nate affair.
The attention of the world is now
attracted toward Siam and the French
cabinet. If war is inaugurated be-
tween these countries Europe will be
involved Great Britain must protect
heE interests, and Russia will look
eagerly toward India. The greatest
point of interest in this country is that
war In the old world will raise the
price of products, and furnish good
market for wheat. 1t is an Ill wind
that blows nobody any good.
Rev. o. D. Taylor's bonds have
been decreased from $25, 900 to $4,000,
and he has been admitted to bail. Il
may be expected that he will return
to The Dalles in a few days in the
glory of his triumph, will still preach
excellent sermons in the Baptist
church and will regain his position as
president of the board of directors of
Wasco Independent academy. LII
such an event, our evening cotem-
porary will be forced 10 make a
stack" in the course it pursued yes.
terday.
The vice president did not visit the
Monterey when he was in Portland,
and the officers Of the warshlp did not
join the procession ia honor of the
high official. Some very i'll natured re-
marks are credited to Hon. a. E.
Stephenson, to which it is doubtful If
he gave utterance, and, if he did. were
entirely out of place and upbecoming.
The incident will blow over withou,
any interruption of the amicable rela-
tions now existing between the navy
department and the executive of the
government; but may furnish the sub
stance of newspaper item for few
days.
The president has outlinedssthe pro-
gramme for the special session of con-
gress, and the repeal of the tariff fol-
lcws that of the Sherman act. Dur
ing the next three years there will be
be allopathic doses of Democracy dealt
out to the people, and undoubtedly
they will not desire repetition of the
medicine after 1896. The present
financial distress has been caused by
Democratic homeopathic medicine; bu,
! ~ ha af f1I . hs
Chicago platform, the business of the
country will be submitted to Demo-
cratic doses of "reform" on a larger
scale.
The Boston Herald, a strong advo.
cate of free-trade, says: "The trou-
ble at present is mainly due to dis
trust of the future" Governor Nc
Kinley could not have stated the rea.
son for financial depression more con-
cisely, and if the Democratic party
which has full control of the govern
ment now, will meet the issue fairly
and assure the people that there will
be no reduction in the tariff the "dis-
trust" will cease. 1t is the shadow oi
free-trade that has fallen over the
country since the Inauguration of Mr..
Cleveland that has caused feeling oi
uncertainty in industrial and money
centers, and the result has been felt in
every department of trade.
Vice-President Stephenson and
party were received at Salem by Gov.
Pennoyer and other citizens. Th gov
ernor could not forget his pet theory
of UNLIMITED coinage, even on this oc-
casion, and In his speech of welcome
told the second official in the nation,
if the Democratic party repealed the
Sherman act without passing some law
in its stead to give the people plenty
of silver,it would be guilty of breech
of faith and merit the unmeasured
contempt of the n,tlon and of the
world. Adlai did not reply to this;
but when he tells Grover It would be
in order for the president to telegraph
Sylvester Pennoyer something about
attending to his business as executive
of the state of Oregon, and informing
him that be would try to manage ma
tional affairs himself, with the aid of
his cabinet and congress.
