The Democratic party will enter the
municipal election In The Dalles with
flags flying and with a full list of can
didates, and 1t may be expected that
Republicans will do the same. This
is the first time in the history of this
city that any attention has been paid
to party lines in this contest, and
we are doubtful if voters will keep in
side the ranks. As the Democracy
made the first movement in this direc-
tion it is presumable that the action
was taken in strong hopes of victory,
aid this may result from the national
success achieved last fall; but the one
is not The least indicative of the other.
As Democrats have thrown down the
gauntlet, we hope it will be taken up
by Republicans, and, if the opposition
desire, we will make the municipal
officers of. The Dalles test of the po-
litical affiliations of the voters of this

FREE.TRADE WOOL.

As apprehended by Republicans
after the national election last fall the
wool market has opened very quiet,
and the prices are the lowest that have
been offered for many years. This is
because the manufacturers expect a
repeal of the tariff on the product, and
believe they will be able to purchase
the Australian and Argentine feeces
at very low figures. The long period
of cold weather has made excellent
sales of wooden fabrics throughout the
east, and if the Mckinley bill had
Lot been attacked in the last campaign
by Democrats, and their candidate
elected on that issue, sheepmen to-day
would be receiving high prices for
their clip instead of storing them in
hope of the market being more buoy
ant as the season advances. Every
time any attempt has been made to
open our gates to foreign raw material
the result has been very depressing on
local producers. 1t is impossible,
under the present conditions, to grow
wool as cheaply as it can be in Aus
tralia or In the Argentine republic.
The climate is more equable In those
countries, pasture IS almost unlimited
and labor commands very low wages.
These advantages cannot be overcome,
and free trade in wool means the total
destruction of the industry in the
United States. With our varied in
dustries awaiting development protec-
ton is the doctrine best adapted to
the growth and prosperity of the
country, and the history of the past
demonstrates that financial disas ters
have always followed any deviation
from this course. Not only in wool,
but in every industry where the Amer
ican citizen Is forced into competition
with the cheap servile labor of other
countries, the result will be destruc-
tive to the best interests of the entire
country,

DENVER, May 29-Dr. Thatcher
Graves, who last year was convicted of
the murder of Mrs Josephine Barnaby,
of Providence, R. l., is today free man
for the first time in two years. This
morning he reappeared in Judge. Burns
court, where motion for a new trial has
been pending for some weeks. Without
delay the court set the trial for June IA,
and liked the doctors bail at $4,000.
Judge Macon, the doctors attorney,
sigued the bond and the prisoner walked
from the court free men. The general
opinion among lawyers and court officials
is that this ends the famous case. There
is no expectation that the second trial
will ever be called, and the final motion
will probably be none prossequi.

THE WHY AND WHEREFORE,

The cause of the present depression
in business is subject of general DIS
cusslon, and several reasons have been
assigned An esteemed Democratic
exchange, which has become convert
to the unlimited coinage craze, gives
the following as the cause for the
present hard times: "When the Re
publican party surrendered to the de-
mands of Great Britain and Germany
for q demonstration of silver, the
trouble began which is now culmi-
mating ia prospect of universal bank
ruptcy. And yet we have only reached
the beginning of the end, unless we
right about face and bring the nation
back to the constitutional standard of
maintaining bi-metallism with free
coinage for both gold and silver. We
must return to fundamental principles.
and begin anew where we left off,
When it is known that the act of
which complaint is made was passed
by congress in 1873, twenty years ago,
it will be seen that if this was the ac-
tuating cause it took long time
Tor its effects to be felt; but this can
not be substantiated by single fact.
On the contrary, the English and Ger.
mans, who have held our securities,
have been calling In their gold be-
cause Of the agitation of the silver
question in this country. This has
created the tremulousness in money
centers, and the dullness in
all departments of trade through
out the nation. If the silver
act of 1878 was financially disastrous,
the country would not have been as
prosperous as it had been until the
late Democratic administration was
inaugurated. The fact of the matter
Is the world has too much silver in
circulation now, and commercial ma
tions will not trade on any other basis
than that of gold. This is fixed law,
and it is simply courting bank
ruptcy for the Uulted States to
attempt any change. The sooner
the government repeals the Sher-
man act, places itself on firm fnan-
cial basis, and pays no attention to the
owners of silver mines in the west, the
quicker it will overcome the present
monetary distress and again be on the
high road to prosperity and develop |
ment.
The remedy given by our cotempo-
rary would be simply national suicide

rec coinage for both gold and silver

lations, and no foreigner would dare |

Gov. Mckinley and ex- Secretary of
the Treasury Foster are financially
bankrupts; but they have committed
no crimes to cause their misfortunes,
OF which they need be ashamed.
However, some Democratic papers,
lacking that generosity which forbids
the brave and chivalrous to taunt a
fallen foe are sneering at these men
because of their disasters. We be-
lieve American citizens are not such
worshipers of wealth that proverty
becomes a synonym for degradation,
and are firmly persuaded that each of
these retain nearly all their former
friends.

From the Hawaiian Isles.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 81 Hawaiian
adyices up to May "a state that the situ-
alton at Honolulu, is more interesting
than for several months. The whole
town is agog with excitement over late
developments. First came the arrest of
Messrs. Bush and Kenyon, editors of
native papers, on charges of libeling the
provisional government and Minister
Stevens, then the pu blication of Secretary
Gresham's Instructions TO Commissioner
Blount, then the news of Biount's ap
poIntment as United States minister to
Hawai-, and lastly, the attempt of the
provisional government TO silence Charles
Nordhoff, the correspondent of the New
York Herald, and Minister Bluunt's in
reference in his behalf. ALI sorts of
alarming rumors are afoat and even Min
lister Bount, Who all along has predicted
that there will be no trouble, is not now
so confident. On May 10 Commissioner
Blount gave out for publication his letter
of instructions from Secretary Gresham.
Among other things it is stated by Ores
bam that the United States will not ac-
quiesce in domestic Interference by other
powers. At the end of the instructions,
Mr.. Bount added the following post
script:
"Whlle I shall refrain from interference
between conflicting forces OF whatever
nationality for supremacy, will protect
American citizens not participating IN
such conflict
These few lines created great excite
meL t, as they were regarded by all par
ties as q plain invitation to royalists to
make trouble Royalists, however, say
they are not now prepared to take ad-
vantage of Blount's notice. but will await
the decision of the United States. If the
Islands are annexed they and the queen
will submit TO the inevitable. and become
good Americans. The provisional gov
ernment claims to be able to hold to
gefher for several years until a new ad.
minlstration, if annexation is refused by
Mr.. Cleyeland. Blount's appointment as
minister is apparently satisfactory to both
parties here Ex-Minister Stevens has
