The strike on the Union Pacific
still continues, and, although no in
convenience has been felt on this end
Of the line, there can be no doubt that
it is causing damage to the business
interests of the company. If these
difficulties could be settled by arbitra-
tors, the council of arbitration TO be
appointed by the government, clear
understanding would be had of the
rights of both parties concerned. Cor
porations as we'll as employees have in
terests which should be respected, and
to arrive at just conclusion as to
which Is the injured party, and whether
the proper and only available method
of redress has been adopted, are mat
ters which require the most careful
discrimination. Strikes are deplor-
able, not only on account of the loss of
business to corporations, but also by
reason of the suffering they frequently
entail on laborers and their families.
If they could be averted by any means
the capital and labor of the country
would be immeasurably benefited

The incident of hauling down the
A american flag at Honolulu created
considerable comment In Washington
City, and Senator Cullom so far forgot
himself as to make the following in
situations against the Democratic
party: 81 am not surprised that the
present Democratic administration
should order the stars and stripes to be
hauled down. They have taken the
flag down whenever they had an OPP
portunity, and there was time when
they had it down in the states
for quite while" 1t is quite SLAM
derous to intimate that the leaders of
the great Democratic party, among
whom were John G. Calhoun, John @.
Breckinridge, Jefferson Davis and
Robert Tombs ever advocated human
slavery or hauled down the stars and
stripes-the flag of Washington and
Lincoln. The rising generation shonld
be taught greater respect for Jeffer-
sonian principles than such language
would inculcate.

Canadians Were nIsapporntea.

OTTAWA, Ont., Apri! 19-The govern
ment here, it is learned, had built great
hopes upon the supplementary evidence
fixed in the Behring sea cases which
has not been admitted. The supplement
tary report, it is claimed, contained
strong evidence in support of the Cana
dian cases. It included a report of
Superintendent Sherwood, who was sent
up the Pacific coast to interview a mum
Der of Indian hunters who, 1t is alleged,
while under the influence of liquor, were
induced to sign false declarations rela-
tive to the seal fisheries by officers of the
United States cruisers. Sherwood also
visited San Francisco. where it is stated
he secured some most important evidence
for the Canadian government. In ad-
dition to this the Dominion government
sent Professor McCoun to the seal islands
in gunboat specially detailed for that
work. after the securing of evidence bad
practically been closed. McCoun claims
to have secured valuable information in
rebut.al of some of the contentious lied
on behalf of the United States. This
also is embraced In the supplementary
report.

tina: the Ann Arbor strike, aided by
Judge Ricks' decision, hss proved q
death blow to the Brotherhood Of Loco

Is being formed in this city. The new
organization will include, aside from the
engineers and fireman, such sup.rinten-
dents OF motive power as are desirous of
joining and may also be open to all em-
pioyes of the railroads, from the highest
officials down to the irackmen. The OBJ
ject of the new organization will be prac

hood of Locomotive Engineers, with the
same insurance features. The manage
ment of the new organization will be In
the hands of the older and more ex
perienced railroad men, and will provide
for general arbitration when 1t becomes
necessary.

Democratic papers exultingly ex-
claim, "Carlisle is master of the sit
uation," and still as secretary of the
treasury he does not stop the enormous
export of gold, which threatens to
cause financial panic. This has been
going on at such a rate that grave
fears are entertained at money centers
that this country will soon suffer a
repetition of Black Friday. No one
is 'smaster of the situation" who can
not pursue financial policy that will
not weaken the circulating medium of
the country. During the darkest days
of the late war, when the credit of the
nation was deprecated, when large
army was in the field that had to be
fed and clothed, the Republican party
were "masters of the situatlop," and
inaugurated a financial policy that
firmly established our credit abroad,
placed the national debt on q basis
that it could be paid without being q
burden on the people, built up our ma.
tional industries and inaugurated in
ternal improvements, A proper test
of financial ability could be had under
such circumstances, and the success
which attended Republican admins

The Fishermen at PEACE.

ASTORIA, April 19-The difference OF
opinion among the fishermen has quieted
down, and there are now but few who
have not come to the conclusion that the
will OF the majority Is supreme. As a
rule, the men are much pleased with the
result of the strike for an increased price
over that of last year, and while the pi..
rates are still heard grumbling at the
failure of their scheme the honest fisher.
men are, without an exception, as happy
as is possible. considering scarcity of SAL
mon. One of the Gamers said yesterday
that be did not blame the pirates so
much as be did the packers who aided
and abetted In the commission of acts of
piracy, and wisely remarked that were it
not for encouragement received from some
of the Gamers the pirates would find
their occupation gone. The catch still
continues light, and while all of the can
neries are packing, some OF the owners
seem rather Indifferent about the amount
put up. Several of them state that at
the present selling price of salmon there
Is no money in the business. Others say
that few cents a case can be made and
hope for an Improvement in the market.

DESIRABLE LOCATION.

The state portage road at the Cas-
cades is an improvement to the navi-
cation of the Columbia which has been
direct benefit to the Inland Empire,
and freight charges have been reduced
considerably on the transportation of
all products. 1t is factor in the
opening of the river, which nature
destined to be the great highway of
commerce from the interior, and which
should float to seaboard, without any
impediment, the productions of the
rich soil of Eastern Oregon. Wasco
was not the especial recipient of favors
in this road any more than Gillian,
Sherman, Umatilla or other counties
east of the Cascade mountains, and the
appropriation should not be alone
credited to her. The great stream is
the river of the west, and all improve
ments made are progressive move
ments in the line of making this
great highway Of commerce free from
all obstructions. Pendleton has one
session of the supreme court and Wes-
ton normal school with an appropri-
alton of $4,000, while this county
has not received directly one dollar
from the last legislature. For this
reason we think our people have
right to demand consideration of the
site for the branch insane asylum for
Eastern Oregon, as the Irvine farm
possesses many advantages over all
other competitors, and the location
here, by reason of healthful climate
and cheap transportation, would be a
great benefit to the unfortunate pa
tlents and saving to the state. Here
tofore we have not pressed our claims
with any degree of ardor, and have al
lowed cities east of The Dalles an open
field in the contest; but the commits
sion has been here and has been

tuition, and The Dalles may expect
some consideration to be paid to its
demands.

THE SILVER QUESTION.

The advocates of unlimited coinage
of silver claim that the single standard
cluses all the evils consequent upon
hard times; that if more dollars were
coined business would be more active
and laborers would fad more avenues
of employment. In these conclusions
free silver men entirely ignore some of
the foundation principles of political
economy. The price of an article in
the market is governed by certain
fixed rules, and these are 50 simple
that any one may understand .hem.
Labor and demand are the bases of all
values, whether of bushel of corn or
the most complicated mechanical in
strument, and money is simply con-
venient preventative of value, to be
regulated by its production. All COM
mercial nations, with the excep-
tion of France, take gold as
the standard, and silver, nickel,
copper, or other circulating medium, are
governed by their relative, not intrinsic
worth. During the past few years
there have been two attempts to make
both silver and gold standards; but
each of these have been unsuccessful
in arriving at any definite conclusion.
Until some international understand
ing can be arrived at different from
the present, all coins in circulation
will be measured by gold basis. Ii
ali commercial relations with other ma
tions could be completely shut off, each
country could adopt any standard of
representatives of values it desired
from iron to rocks; but while the
products of one nation finds market
in another, uniform standard should
be adopted. This is absolutely nee
essary for commercial transactions,
and it would result disastrously to any
one singly to interfere with the gem
eral rule. For these reasons it is
financial fallacy to say that the United
States can single-handed change the
basis of the current exchange of the
world. If 1t were to do so Wall street
would depreciate silver to such an ex-
tent that gold would be at high pre-
MUM, and repetition OF 1873 would
result. Our financial policy has been
inaugurate1 after the most approved
methods, and it is extremely dangerous
to attempt any change.

The proposition for the tournament
of the Firemen's Association to be
held in this city at the time of holding
the annual convention of the Veteran
Firemen, is one that should be heartily
endorsed by every citizen. We hope
such action will be taken at the public
meeting to be held on the Goth inst.
that will induce the tournament to be
held in The Dalles.
Last year, before the presidential
election, hard times was charged to
the Republican party, and the Demo-
Gratis were successful in the contest.
Now Bourbon prints claim that poll
tics do not effect financial matters.
This Is plank thrown out which may

The Duke of Veragua has landed in
New York and has been received with
becoming honors, because of the fact
that four hundred years ago one of his
| thousands of ancestors was Christie
pher Columbus, the discoverer OF
America. To be lIneal descendant
of the great navigator entities one to
respect, and the dukes visit to this
country to be present at the opening
of the Columbian exposition IS very
opportune.
1t is clearly demonstrated that four
hundred years ago Duke de Veragua
had 1892 ancestors, and one of these
was the discoverer of America. Moth
ing is known of the remaining Sl91,
whether they we're dukes, counts, or
simply the common people. Perhaps
such an inquiry would be unkind at
this time, for full knowledge of hi
progenitors other than Christopher
Columbus might disclose facts which
it would not be courteous to mention
at this time.
The Salem Independent consoles Col.
Miller because he did not receive the
Turkish mission and says: "He is a
free-silver, fat-money Democrat, but
to please his party he stultifed himself
by campaigning for President Cleve-
land, who represents gold .bugism with
vengeance" Then to lacerate the
wounded feelings of the gallant colonel
it adds: "However, it is doubtful if
the best interests of the people are
subserved by appointing to Office a
man who is capable of moulding his
individual opinions in conformity to
the oft changed policy of party"
However much the papers may at
tempt to cover over the present condi-
tion of affairs there is no denying the
fact that the country is on the verge
of financial crisis, and without some-
thing is done disastrous consequences
will follow. Business in all portions
of the land IS cramped, and the circu-
lating medium does not appear to be
sufficient to satisfy the demands of
daily transactions. Another discovery
of gold like that of '49 in California,
would remove all apprehensions, and
perhaps by careful financial manage
ment on the part of the government,
the crisis may be averted. There are
new and perhaps unskilled hands at
the helm of the ship of state, and the
danger is apparent.

There were seventeen warships at
Fortress Monroe yesterday, and five
British ships were expected at the an
chorage to-day. These float the flags
of France, Italy, Russia, and the
United States, and will afford the
grandest naval display ever witnessed
in this country. They are all built
after the latest patterns, and carry
guns capable of belching forth death
and destruction at a moments notice:
but their mission is one of peace, and
they will fraternize in. the waters Of
the republic as though they bore alle-
glance to one flag.

plosion this morning. The employees went to
work at the usual hour, and the engineer,
finding the water low in the boiler, proceeded
to fill it. The water was injected cold and
hardly turned on when there was an explo-
sion. Emery Clark and Samuel Perry were
killed outright. Clark was 45 years of age,

ley Asher, 10 years of age, ran from one
of the rooms. the blood streaming from
one of his hands. The lads left hand
bad been frightfully lacerated, the
thumb and forefnger had been blown
away. Investigation proved that the
boy had in his pocket 8 or 10 cartridges
of about % caliber, loaded only with a
white substance believed to be dynamite.
In paper was found some of the white
powder, and it is believed that the boy
was engaged in unloading another Cart
ridge, using his slate pencil as an extrac
tor, when the explosion occurred. 1t is
said that the boys secure them from q
supply kept by the railroad company for
signals.

Chinese held on board the steamship Mogul
since Thursday last. At late hour tonight
only about half the Chinese were examined,
and ON an average but one in five were ad-
mitted. So far, the certificates held are the
same as those presented at other ports, but it
is apparent that only a small proportion will
be admitted. 1t IS claimed by some persons
here that Collector Wasson is unnecessarily
severe with the steamship company, but this
he denies, alleging that, in view of the asper-
sions cast upon his official character, he is
compelled to take extra precautions, and that
he IS only performing his duty. The Mogm
will not sail for the Orient as scheduled, but
will be delayed "a hours.
