Hunti.g for Railroad Hands.

CINCINNATI, March, I4-For the past four
days several strangers have been actively at
work in Cincinnati endeavonng to get to-
gether men for all kinds of railway work.
The number of men wanted by them seems
to be unlimited. The hands advertised for
are wanted for Chicago. Among the agents
employed to come here for the purpose of
gathering men to be used in this emergency
is Emory Warne, who is SAID to represent the
Chicago Northwestern Railway Company.
When seen today Mr.. Warne refused to state
for whom he is working, and is silent on all
points relating to himself. Last Wednesday
evening the clerk of the public employment
bureau here received letter from D. Wilson,
Of Chicago, asking for 1000 railway men,
and stating that there will be 10000 out on
strike in Chicago in about FIVE days.

AReport On Hawaii.

CHICAGO, March I4-The Herald prints the
following from Washington: President Cleve.
land has fully decided to send commission
to Hawaii to investigate the recent revolution
and to report before the meeting Of the next
congress. The commission will be composed
of General Scho6eld, of the army; Admiral
Brown, of the navy; and probably Don M.
Dickinson, of Michigan. TIE president will
probably announce to the senate on Wednes-
day his intention of sending this commission
to Hawaii, but as he now views the matter,
no action on the part of the senate will be
necessary. The commission will be presi-
Dental board of inquiry, the expenses. Of the
army and navy members thereof being borne
as those of officers detailed to special duties
and the expenses of the civilian member being
borne out of the secret fund of the state de-
partment. President Cleveland believes that
a commission such as that named will not
only be able to arrive at the true inwardness
of the revolution in Hawaii, but that its report
will command the confidence of the people
and of congress. 1t is expected that the
commission will sail from San Francisco in
about two weeks, and of course there is un-
usual pressure for appointment as assistants
to the board. The commission will take with it
an executive officer, probably paymaster
of the army or navy, and one or two secreta-
ries and stenographers.

Ingalls, Turn Now.

ATcHIsoN, Kan, March IA sensa-
tinn was created last night when Aveling
Tufts, of Kansas City, appeared here and
took possession of the Kansas Trust and
Banking Company, as receiver of the
company organized in 1886, with a cap
itol of 100000 Ex-senator John j
Ingalls, is president of the concern, r M.
Mauley, vice president, and E G. Arms
by cashier. The principal part of the
capital was furnished by Manley and
family and I0gslls. The latter had $500
invested, and Manley 100000. These
amounts are lost. The liabilities are
$4,000. The assets, it is believed if
prudently managed will pay in full.
The bank has 10000 acres of land and
large tracts and lois in the principal
towns and cities OF the state. The resi-
dents of Atchlson have $125, 900 invested
in the concern secured by debenture
bonds Of copjectural value. 1t Is be-
lieved the decision of Armsby to with
draw hastened The crash. Manley Is
practically bankrupt.

NOT ANALOGOUS.

An esteemed Democratic cotem-
porary appears to consider the inaug-
uration of Cleveland in 1888 analo-
gous to that of Lincoln in 1861, in the
fact that both are signi6can. of the ex-
tension of human freedom; but we are
forced to stake issue" with the editor
in this conclusion. The condition of
the slaveholding portion of the United
States prior to the advent of the Re
publican party in politics was deplora-
BILE in the extreme. Human slavery
was upheld not only by all classes of
citizens, but was even endorsed by
Christian ministers in the pulpit. Out
RACES were perpetrated on any person
who openly opposed the system, and
negroes, by statutory provisions, we're
considered chattels, to be bartered
away at the will of the master. One
of the arguments in support of the
Fugitive slave law was that, as resi-
dent of Ohio had an undoubted right
to follow his runaway horse into Ken
lucky, SO citizen of the latter state
should be protected in his property
(slaves) in whatever portion of the
country they might be found. The
war changed this status of affairs, and
we believe that all citizens. north and
south, are satisfied with the present
improved condition.
1t will take very fertile imagina-
tion to find the least parallel between
the condition of affairs existing be-
fore the war and at the present time.
We presume the editor had in his
"mind's eye" The slavery of labor to
capital, about which there has been
senseless howl by class of discoatents
during the past few years; but in fact
the laborer was never as independent
as at present, and he never received
better wages for the work done and
money never had equal purchasing
power. 1t may be true that the prev
alence of the idea that q change
in administration would better the
condition of wage-earners may have
caused them to cast their votes for
Cleveland; but the reports of labor
commissioners in different states and
the facts procured by the congress
sional committee proved this to be
fallacious. 1t accomplished its purpose,
and will receive little prominence,
even from Democratic leaders, now.
A fair test of the matter will he for
Mr.. Cleveland to follow implicitly the
principles laid down in the Chicago
platform. and there will be none SO
blind in 1896 as to imagine that the
doctrine of protection under Republi-
cans was in the least degree compara-
BILE to the system of slavery as it ex-
listed prior to Lincoln's emancipation
proclamation.

WASHINGTON, March 16-The adjourn
Inent of the senate today till next week
without receiving single nomination
from the president was good deal OF d
disappointment to the seekers after Office
Who had drif:ed up to the capitol after
receiving nothing but rebuffs at the de
partments. They had hoped for a long
list of nominations, which, if it did not
include their own names. would at least
clear the air by showing where the
pIuns were falling and what states were
lett to receive them in the future. The
number of Office seekers who drifted
upon the floor after the doors were open
was not nearly so large as last week, but
there were enough to absorb the atten-
ton of the Democratic senators and to
drive most of them out of the chamb er
so soon as they could get away.

PROSPECTIVE.

The Dalles will realize in less than
two years the dream of a quarter of a
century-an open river to the sea.
Under the contract system, with the
liberal appropriations in the sundry
CIVIL bill, In 1895, craft will load in
this city and transfer their freight to
ocean-going vessels without breaking
cargo. This will make The Dalles an
ocean-competitive point, and our ner-
chants and shippers can demand the
same freight rates as Portland and
Astoria. With such advantages our
dealers can pay much higher price
for wool and wheat than any city on
the Columbia river, and trade will
naturally be attracted towards The
Dalles. For years the ThEs-MoUN-
TANNER has attempted to impress the
citizens with the Importance of our
situation, and attempted to arouse
them to the exertion of enterprise
commensurate with the advantages
possessed. An open river is great
commercial prestige. and it will be q
potent factor of development when
properly used. In conjunction with
this cheap means of transportation to
seaboard there should be manufactur-
ing industries to support larger pop
uiation, and it is time that some effort
was being made in this direction. Our
location for a woolen mill and other
industries cannot be excelled anywhere
on the coast, and eastern capitalists
would gladly invest in these if matters
were properly presented. 1t cannot be
expected that men with families will
locate here without there are some
visible means of employment, and fac
tories would supply these needs. With
the commercial advantages named this
city should be the center of trade for
a large region of country, and to the
accomplishment of this object there
should be lines of railroad to the in
terror. The destiny of the city will
be shaped 6y actions in the present;
and the future, whether it be one of
growth and prosperity, or of decay and
ruin, will be as the citizens may deter
mine.

EDITORIAL NOTES

A new party is limited at, with
Cleveland, Gresham, Lincoln and
Grant as leaders. This would be AN
excellent quartet.
Tammany has been snubbed by the
present administration, and woe to the
Cleveland Democrat who receives the
nomination for president in 1896.
Nothing is heard of a special ses-
sion now. Has Democracy forgotten
ITS pledges to the country and that the
''robber tariff" is defrauding the labor
ing poor out of millions of dollars
annually.
The free-silver men have captured
the committees in the new senate, and
there will very likely be war between
them and the president. 1t will not
he our fight, and we can calmly wait
and watch the conflict.
The dreaded cholera is again raw
aging Russia, and there are fears of 1t
crossing the Atlantic. Strict sanitary
measures should be enforced In thus
country, and our ports closely quaran-
tined against foreign vessels.
If the fight for the insane asylum
between Baker City and Pendleton
continues much longer we are fearful
that two editors will be forced to be
sent to Salem before the branch instl-
tuition is erected in Eastern Oregon
The state board of charities and cor
rections will not expire for some time
yet. This peculiar state of affairs
came about because the act of the
legislature abolishing the board had no
emergency clause, and the law will not
go into effect until ninety days after
the adjournment.
A dispatch states that the people of
the Sandwich Islands are looking to
annexation 'sas a remedy for political
evils" If two or three Tammsny
bosses were turned loose for few
days among the simple-minded Kan
akas, New York Democracy would
add to her laurels the conquest of
kingdom.
Cleveland organs are excIaiming in
their Joy that the business outlook for
the country is much better since the
new president took his seat. The wish
has been parent to the thought with
them, and if they will only wait until
the protection barriers are broken
down and free-trade inaugurated this
may prove delusion and snare, a
deceptive mirage to feed their hungry
imaginations.
There is evidence that breach has |
between the president and
the senate, and that he Is dissatisfied
with the committees named. Hill and
Murphy are determined to make Tau,
many dominant during this admins
tration, and With Cleveland's we'll
known determination, the fight may |
be expected to be bitter one. 1t
may be true that the New York ring
sleeted hum to his high position; but

The Albany Democrat is very laud-
atory of Cleveland's administration,
and has the following to say in regard
to the committees of the senate: "That
was handsome thing for the Demo
Gratis in the United States senate to do
to give all the Populist senator's a
Craftsmanship of some committee. Be-
sides they are we'll provided with
places on the standing committees as
follows: PETER has place on the com
mittee on agriculture and forestry, on
claims, on immigration, and improve
ment of the Mississippi and its tribu-
taries. Kyle (chairman) on committee
on education and labor, on irrigation
and reclamation of arid lands and on
Indian depredations. Allen has a
place on the Indian affairs committee,
and on public lands. Irby is chair
man of the committees on transporta-
tion routes to the ssaboard." Of course
it was the proper thing for Democrats
to do to take some recognition OF
Populists, who were the means of elect.
ing Grover Cleveland to the presidency
last November. In 1884 the Republi-
can mugwump contingent secured sue
cess for the Democracy and in 1892
the Populists' malcontents. The Dem
ocratic party has always pursued the
tactics of creating discomfort in the
ranks of their opponents; and, if sue
cessful, as a reward for treason, would
place members of the discontinued fac
tion in harmless position on some
congressional committee. This sop
given to the Populists will undoubtedly
be appreciated; but Democracy cannot
be certain of their help in 1896.

the commission will carefully examine

the one having the most advantageous

the genial climate of districts centrally

SALEM March 15-Salem's new paid
fire department answered its first alarm
this morning, when tue old Scott house
was found to be on fire. A prompt re-

second call came at 8 this evening, when

three single story frame shacks between
substantial frame bricks, but the depart
ment confined the blaze to the single
building which was gutted. Most of the
contents were saved. No insurance was
carried.
