Mr.. Newton was met as he entered the
parlor by his wife's gentle "home well
come and an affectionate greeting from
his son. Then, after a few moments
general conversation, he said:
Il know you are waiting anxiously to
hear the results of this days delibera-
tions, and feeling full confidence in your
courage to meet and endure bravely any
adverse circumstances I come without
hesitation directly to the fact that we are
compelled to give up our business and
close the store. You, my dear Lucy,
were prepared to expect this when we
parted this morning, but regret that
our children cannot as readily compre-
hend the necessity of a change so COM
plete and sudden as we shall be COM
PEELED to make"

Never fear, Edward; you have a

PHILLIPsBuRd, N j., Dec. 9T.-The stnte.
ment that the Warren foundry would shut
down, throwing 800 men out OF work until
New Years at least, with prospects of a
longer shut down, was depressing enough
In its effects on the men, but when it be-
came known that the few men kept at
work on repairs had been reduced 10 per
cent. and that like reduction would
reign in all departments when the big
plant was restarted it cast gloom over the
entire community. This plant has not

"A STRIKE FORBIDDEN.
Singular Action of the Northern
Pacific Receivers.
AN INJUNCTION ON EMPLOYEES.

They Are Forbidden by tho Court from
'Combining and Conspiring to Quit
with or without Notice the Service oi
the Road"
MILWAUKEE, Dec. GA conflict Is on
between the receivers of the Northern Pa
eific railroad and its employees, including
all the engineers, conductors, firemen,
telegraphers and switchmen. The new
schedule of wages adopted by the re
delivers, which implies cut of to 10 pei
cent. in the employees pay, was rejected
by the employees representatives at a con
ference held in St. Paul with General
Manager Kendrick, and the prospects are
that on Jan. 1, when the new schedule is
TO go into effect, $500 men employed all
along the road will quit work.
This outcome of the controversy was
foreseen by the receivers, for rs early rs
Dec. 10 they applied for and obtained
from Judge Jenkins, of the United States
court of this city an order authorizing
and directing them to put into operation
the new schedule of wages, and restrain
ing the employees and their unions from
''combining and conspirlng to quit with

with the object Of gripping or otherwise
embarrassing its operation, and gene
rally from interfering with the officers

ployes in any manner by actual threati

The ovation which ex-President
Harrison received on bis return to his
home in Indianapolis is illustrative of
the esteem in which he is held by his
fellow citizens. He is no longer an
official OF the government; but the
country cannot but remember him
gratefully for his excellent admins
tratlon, and for this every patriotic
American will vie with the citizens of
his own home in according him honor.
Our presidents rise from the people,
and after they have performed their
duties to the public, return from
whence they came. If they have ably
managed national affairs, they are en-
titled to respect; but if they have been
derelict in any of the duties imposed
ON them, they merit and generally re-
ceive censure. There are no privi--
legged classes or individuals in this re-
public, no "royal prerogatives" or
empty titles descending to unworthy
posterity; but the people are the rul-
ing power, and any member privileged
to fill any exalted position must prove
himself worthy of the trust reposed in
him or receive his punishment from
those whom be has betrayed.

Capital in the east is desiring in
vestment in the northwest, and if the
business men of The Dalles will take
the initiative in a wooden mill, fruit
cannery or other industry, outside
money will be invested to push it to
completion. Oregon is becoming
known in the east, and investments
here are considered perfectly safe. We
have not the reputation of being in
cllned to "boom" matters on unsub-
stantial bases, and for this reason cap
italists have perfect confidence in Ore
gon enterprises. The Dalles has an
excellent reputation for the solidity of
all mercantile establishments, and this
fact will be in our favor when we de-
sire foreign investments for the devel-
opment of our natural resources. To
witness unparalleled prosperity in this
city. it is only necessary for our lead
ing business men to display honesty
and earnestness in inauguratiDg any
manufacturing industry, and no point
IN the northwe offers equal induce
ments. This city will double her pop
ulation the coming year If the right
spirit is manifested.
