The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1894-06-30

sorrowing members of his family to
have quieted all undue excitement at
such an impressive time.
Senator Hill, of New York, is dis
playing considerable courage in his
fight against the income tax, but 1t is
a forlon hope, and if pressed to vote
the Wilson bill, with this disasterful
provision, will pass the senate. In the
discussion last Tuesday of this feature of
the bill, the taxing of state and county
bonds for revenue for the government
was considered of doubtful constitu-
tionality, and in this view of the
matter Hill was supported by Sher-
man of Ono and Mitchell of Oregon.
The gentleman from New York has
good staying qualities, and has many
of the elements of leader, but in the
present congress his kind of Democracy
is not in the ascendant.
There is what may be termed a free
silver mania pervading the west, and
Nebraska Democrats desire unlimited
coinage and so do California Republi-
cans. If it continues to increase as it
has in the last two years it may con-
stitute the leading issue in the cam
palgn Of 1896, and nothing but a
practical test will bs sufficient to stop
the people from advocating the fallacy,
Two years ago there was reform and
free trade craze over the country, and
the experiment of change was tried.
Now the people are anxious for the
government to he restored to the old
regime under Repu blican adWinistra-
ton. 1t will be the same result after
trial of free silver; but 1t may take
bitter experience to teach Americans
that the present monetary system is
the only safe and substantial one.
1t is generally conceded that the
lease of the o. r. d. n. Co. by the
Union Pacific has terminated, or will
terminate as soon as a separate re-
ceiver has been appointed, which, it is
expected, will be done on the 1st of
July. This will pace the Oregon
company out of the control OF the
transcontinental line, and if those
holding the first mortgage bonds buy
in the property it is hoped that
broader policy will be pursued than
has been by the Union Pacific There
is large country to be developed in
Eastern Oregon, and any railroad by
constructing lines to the interior could
fully double the present trade. The
Dalles is favorably situated for rail-
road center, and if the managers of
the new line would pay some atten-
tion to the facilities of this city in this
respect they would meet with little or
no opposition from our capitalists.
The American Railway Unions
strike against Pullman cars has been
inaugurated, and has resulted in rail-
road companies refusing to transport
trains without the sleepers could be
attached. This has caused stoppage
of passenger traffic on nearly all the
great lines from Chicago to San Fran
CISCO, and the innocent public are
again made to suffer the consequences
of clash between labor and capital.
1t may be necessary for arbitration
to be enforced In these matters
by legislative enactments, and if
such were in operation it would
stop many disturbances to trade. Cap
ltal Is selfish and so are labor organiza-
tions, and when conflicts happen each
has selfish objects to be accomplished.
For the benefit of the public genarally
the government should step in ard
settle the differences when they are
prolonged or cause any interference
with the usual business traffic.
The rejoicing of Herr Most, Louise
Michel and other anarchists over the
assassination of President Carnot indi-
Gates fully the object of such beings
and the cause of their banding them
selves together into societies. They
are the enemies of the established form
of society and existing governments,
and they carry out their aim by the
stilleto, bomb or any death-dealing
instrument that is convenient to use
and quick in accomplishing its ends.
They are thugs in every thing detesta-
BILE and vicious that the name implies,
and they teach the gospel of hate and
worship god of death and destruc-
tion. Their hatred extends to all in
different conditions of life from
themselves, and they should be given
as little considraetion as the high
way robber or the midnight burglar.
If the penal code of the different
civilized states of the world cannot
reach these nisecrants, it should be
revised, and any one guilty of such
language as is credited to the leaders
of anarchy should be deprived of PER
sonal liberty in any country.
