THE PRESIDENTS COUSIN.

One of the duties imperatively de-
veloplng upon President Cleveland is
to rebuke his cousin, Benjamin Fol-
SON, says the Inter Ocean. This is
not time in which man officially
representing the administration of the
United States in England safely can
be allowed to tell English manufac-
turers that it is the intention of the
American congress and president to
admit their goods free of duty and to
cause stoppage of American indus.
tries. What this country now needs
is restoration of that confidence in
the stability of protection to Amerl-
can industries that it felt prior to the
elections of November last. The de-
preston now SO severely felt is due
solely to lack Of confidence. Restore
that and you restore prosperity. But
confidence cannot be restored SO long
as a relative of the president, and
one holding office under him, publ
ely proclaims the advent of free trade.
What Benjamin Folsom, consul of
the United States In the English
town of Sheffield, said in an after
dinner speech on July 4th is thus re-
ported in the Sheffield and Rother-
ham Independent of the ensuing day:
"England's greatest customer has
been the United States, and in spite
of tariffs that have been raised
against foreigD countries there is, and
must continue to be, great and gil
gantic trade flowing from England to
America. Hear, hear. You have
passed the worst period; you have
crossed the highest barrier that can be
raised between the United States and
England in the way of trade con-
struction. Applause. will tell
you why this is. For the first time
since 1860 the Democratic party,
which has been the party of free
trade, is in power, not only in the ex-
ecutive, but in both its legislative
branches"
Since 'the Democratic party,
which," as Mr.. Folsom says, sis the
party of free trade" came ''into
power, not only in the executive. but
in both its Legislative branches" great
changes, and fer the worse. have be-
fallen the country. During the four

To Repeal the Gear1 Act.

WASHINGTON, Aug. st is alleged
the Chinese are coming to town with a
live, vigorous lobby. 1t will raid the
capitol building early Monday morning.
There is to be war 10 the knife. The
Six Companies, the great Chinese corpor-
alton, it Is said. are backing the play.
and everything possible will be done to
effect the repeal of the Chinese exclusion
act. If reports from the Pacific slope
can be relied upon, lobby of gigan1c
proper ions, equaling that Of the famous
Credit Mobilier in 1871, is to infest the
coming congress- with the cole purpose OF
getting quick action for its money and
wiping from the face of the congressional
earth every vestige of offensive Chinese
legislation.

KEEP COOL.

In these days of financial depression
patriotic citizens must not become ex-
cited, and should have sufficient con-
6dence in the solvency of banks not to
entertain or create any distrust. Every
one knows that in Oregon, with the
rich and undeveloped resources, not
half the natural wealth of the country
has been matured. The securities
upon which banks do business are
amply sufficient, in ordinary years, to
REIN burse the institutions for any out
lay they may make and, although at
present there may be feeling Of un-
easiness regarding investment, this is
only temporary, and, very li6ely, in
few weeks, money will be as plentiful
and the country as prosperous as 1t
was a year ago. Forbearance must be
exercised, and men must not become
fanatics by reason of the prevailing
.remulousness. There is just as much
wealth in the land, and as many OPP
portunities for capital to be reim-
bursed, as there were few months
since. The grand structure of the re-
public will not crumble into ruins
on account Of the dull times;
but the ship of state will soon
right itself and again sail trlumphantly
DER summer seas. There is ho cause
for alarm; .here is no real danger; the
fear of bankruptcy is wild and incon-
siderate, and is unbecoming brave
nation that has passed successfully
through four years of terrible fratri-
cldal war and liquidated debt of
nearly four billions. In this emer-
gency each individual has duty to
perform, and every attempt should be
made to quiet the cry of sire and de-
struction" when there are no flames
apparent and the superstructure on
which the government rests is as solid
as ever. Congress will convene in
few days, and remedies will be applied
to any evils that may exist. Citizens
should have sufficient faith in those
whom they have elevated to the ma
tional legislature to keep calm until
some effort has been made to restore
confidence to business Undue alarm
simply hastens the day of financial de-
structlon, and imperils the existence of
such money repositories as are amply
able TO Withstand any shock.

Hotel burned at Boise.

BOISE, Idaho, Aug. Tonight about
8 O'Clock the Central hotel, large frame
structure, was burned. The loss Is $14,
600 insured for $1,000. How the fire
started Is mystery. The flames sud :
denly burst through the roof, and in a
few moments the entire building was
enveloped in flames. The 6remen saw
the building was doomed and gave their
attention to preventing its spread, when.
to the horror OF all, the water supply
gave out. 1t seemed as though the
greater portion OF the city was doomed,
but bucket brigade was organized, and
the fire was kept in check. The water
company was severely censured for al
lowing the pressure to be so low.

PARIS, Aug. 1-AdvIces received here
from Bangkok show that no understand
ing has been reached IN regard to the
delImitation of the territory claimed by
the French, or al least that no knowledge
to that effect has reached the Slamese
capital. Nelther is 1t known at Bang

raised On the contrary, dispatches from
Bangkok fully support the reports cur
rent last night that much uneaslness as
to the 6nal outcome of the trouble Is felt
IN Bingkok, and that the anxiety is in
creasing daily. It is feared an attack
will shortly be made upon Bangkok, IN
less the French government sends orders
to Vice Admiral Human not to attack
the city.
The negotiations have become secret
absolutely and nothing can be learned OF
them.
