THE CAR MARRLED.

The czar of Russia and Princess Alix
of Hesse were married at st. Petersburg
Monday. All the schools were closed for
three days to give the children holi-
day, and 10000 poor people dined at
the expense Of the czar. In honor OF
his wedding the czar RENTS various
debts to the crown. including the repay
ments of grants made to peasants on
account of famines. On of the peculiar
things is the abandonment of the prose
cution of offenders for treason, who have
not been discovered for fifteen years.
The civil rights of the Poles engaged in
the rebellion of 1868 are restored. II
the czar could get married about once a
month Russia would become by and by
good government.

Mount Rainier became visible Sunday
for the first time since last Wednesday,
when it was reported to have "blown
its head off," 1t is plainly to be seen
now that it never did anything of the
kind. Tacoma people say that the
smoke mentioned by Seattle people was
only vapor, but the Seattle folks still in
sist it was smoke. The Seattle smoke
theory has some strong backing in Mr..
Henry Surrey, who was at one time on a
ship becalmed for three days in sight of
Mt. Etna. After that it would be little
short of insult to intimate that Mr.
Henry Surrey did not know smoke from
vapor. Mr.. Surrey has also seen other
volcanoes. If that knowledge does not
stop the Tacoma vaporings, then Ia
comaites understand not the elements of
logic.

WHAT FOR, AND WHYs

Our lusty young contemporary, the
Sun of Portland, is disposed to be face
tious at the expense of those citizens of
The Dalles who visited the Cascades
Saturday. From the tone of the report
er's article it is easily seen that the
Portland gentlemen were disposed to
make merry over what they are pleased
to call the ''spell- bound bakers dozen
from The Dalles." There are two sides
to that question, and the ''spell-bound
bakers dozen'' came home with some
very queer. ideas concerning Portland's
chamber of commerce and Portland g
leading men. The Dalles doesn't sport
q chamber of commerce now; SO when
an invitation was received, coming os-
tensibly from the Portland chamber of
commerce, for The DalIes to send down
a delegation to meet number of said
chamber of commerce, about twenty re-
sponded. They did not know that the
Portland people did not know that no.
body knew anything about the affair.
The Dalles people are onto their job, all
right, but did not know that the recep-
tion of Portland's chamber of commerce
and the SUMS ''dernier bourne was her
job. So when the solemn procession of
100 gentlemen bent their silk tiles and
$14 ulsters againststhe incline, with the
wild rush of funeral procession, and
passed US yahoos ignobly by, most of us
took walk. We had examined the
canal many a time, so we turned over
our interest in the job to our noble Port
land brethren.
1t was a touching sight, that we'll re-
paid the coldness of our reception, to see
the noble procession, headed by Sena-
tor Dolph, as it reached the walls of the
canal, and with the good senator's aid,
discovered a hole IN the same. The
cable shaft excited wonder, and one by
one they gazed down into its impene-
trable blackness, and one and all pro-
nounced it the most interesting hole to
which their individual attention had
ever been called. The valve shaft
proved another interesting hole, down
which, after the senator had scared the
bogeys away, each in turn stopped to
look. We could not find it in our hearts

dropping few sad tears, we left them
there. We understand the rain chased
them back to their boat, which they
found, presumably, without trouble, as
ours had left.
In conclusion, we will say that the
meeting was not delightful one; but
as we have the canal between US, and
the matter as to who invited anyone, and
why, was, and is still a mystery, why
let's shake hands across the by chasm.
And as for our contemporary mysti-
fed reporter, if he has not yet learned
why he visited the locks, he is at least
as well off as his papers readers. Did
not he, too, gaze into the profound holef
and did he not form intimate acquaint-
ance with caterer, waiter, steward and
cook? Did he not size up and mingle
with senators and U. S. engineers; we'll

thereof. He therefore proposes that
silver instead of gold be made the stan
dard. This is all very well as far as it
goes, but the trouble is we can only at
the most make it go as far as our juris-
diction extends, that is within the boun-
daries of the United States. This being
true, Mr.. Dell would find in measuring
his values by the silver standard, that
he was using two six inch measures, in
stead of one of a foot.

In Mr.. Woolley the Democrats have
