HUNTINGTONS AWFUL SLIP

1t is with deep pain that we note the
inexcusable moral lapse of which Mr..
c. P. Huntington was guilty when
questioned about the alleged intention
of the Southern Pacific to cripple the
Central Pacific by reducing its through
train service. Mr.. Huntington said
"damn." He said the story was "a
damned lie.' Those were his very
words. They did not slip out inad-
vertently, either, for he expressly re-
quested that they should be tele-
graphed across the continent in just
that form.
: We are grieved to see a man who
has SO long set q shining example to
the youth Of our land marring his
noble record by conduct which in
Boston would be punishable even now
by fine and imprisonment. Mr.. Hun
tington has been a pattern of most of
the Puritan virtues. He has been in
dustrious, thrifty and patient. He has
worked long hours and has never
quarreled with his pay. He has never
struck for higher wages and has cared
for the money of his employers as if it
were his own-which, indeed, it has
usually become in due time. His
heart has. overflowed in charity to the
poor heather of Africa and no needy
congressman or member of state leg
islature has ever appealed to his SYM
pathies in vain. He has given a water
fall to Golden Gate Park and a
toboggan slide to the Republican party
of California. But now all the moral
fruits of lifetime of pious industry
are threatened. When the prattling
infant asks, mamma, who is that
noble-looking old gentleman with the
white beard and benevolent eye?"
The blushing mother will respond:
Hush, my child; look the other way
that is the man who said 'damn!"
We trust that Mr.. Huntington may
yet repent and reform before it is
everlastingly too late.-San Francisco
Examiner.

One of the features of last nights
play was a charming little French
song by Miss Essie Tittell to her own
accompaniment on the piano. And
| the piano, by the way, was necessarily
fine-toned one, being furnished by
the Jacobsen Book & Music Co. for
the occasion.
The mathematical editor of an ex-

A boy ten years old has little sister
who weighs l6 pounds, and he gets
tired holding her in five minutes
When he is twice as old, how long will
1t take him to get tired holding some
ones sister who weighs 125 pounds?
To the casual observer it would ap-
pear that there is now enough wheat
slowed in the two large warehouses in
this city to supply hungry human
ity with -four for an indefinite period,
still there is plenty more in the
surrounding country, and so soon as
the market looks up little the guam
tiJy of wheat arriving here daily will
be simply immense.

the final balancing of accounts it was
found that Mr.. Nolan had SO cents
coming to him, and he received war
rant for that amount.

4 Rumor Only.

A rumor was in circulation Tuesday
tnat Rev. o. D. Taylor had been ac.
quilted on all charges against him,
but the most diligent search failed to
find anything on which the rumor was
based. 1t may have blown up on the
west wind, or it may have originated
in the fertile Imagination OF someone
who had nothing else to think about.
The story grew to adult proportions in
a little while, and by night, not only
had he been acquitted, but had COM
menced an action in damages against
the parties who had him arrested, and
had even collected large sum of
therefor, and was on his road
home with it.

THE ARABIAN NIGHTS.

The Dalles Enjoys One of Them, and De.
mands the Other 1000.
There was large and expectant
audience in the Baldwin opera house
Friday night when the curtain went up
for the "Arabian Nights" Every seat.
was occupied and standing room was
like votive candles in mining camp,
remarkably scarce. Those who have
heretofore seen our Home Dramatic
Club expected treat, but that they
did not expect such treat as they got
was evident from the smiling faces and
the frequent applause. The plot was
very prettily and Enthusiastically woven
one, full of surprises and humorous
situations, and the two hours that it
took to present it passed like man
with nine-spot high.
The parts were all well taken, so
well that it would be impossible to
make particular mention of anyone,
without saying practically the same
thing of every one. Perhaps the most
fetching" thing was in the fainting
scene, when one after the other the
ladies keeled over, but always with the
right man at hand to catch them. The
last one to fall though brought down
the house as we'll as herself, for the
wretched Hummingtop, in fit of alb
sent-minedness, barely checked the
force of her fall but let her slip to the
floor. An encore followed, and was
responded to by the whole family
party, the ladies having fully recov-
cred.
The Club earned fresh laurels, and
it was the unanimous verdict that no
better play and no better players have
appeared here in years. Only ten days
were given for the rehearsal of the
play but it ran as smoothly as though
the club had been playing it for
months. The Home Dramatic Club
can rest assured that whenever it sees
fit to present anything in The Dalles,
that the whole town will be there to
see, and, we might add, they cannot
give us something else too soon.

An OPEN ADMISSION.

This administration, which has run
the country $500, 600, 900 in debt in less
than three years, makes great fuss
over conjectural excess of revenues
: over expenditures for the current
month of 81, 900, 900. This is only the
second month since the Democrats
came into power that has showed a
revenue excess. The first was last
June, when there was an apparent
surplus of 100000. But the next
month showed deficiency much
larger, and the apparent surplus is be-
lieved to. have been trick of book
keeping, by which bills OF June were
carried over to July. 1t is not improb-
able that the apparent surplus for
September is the result of similar
trick, since it is admitted already that
October will show very large deficit.
1t is matter of course that there can
be no real surplus till the whole fiscal
policy of the government shall be
ged.-Oregonian.
So! Well what does that prove, ex-
cept that when this administration
came in, under the much lauded Nc
Kinley bill there was not revenue
enough raised to run the government.
This administration came in in March
1893, while the Mckinley bill was in
force, and that bill was the law until
about one year ago, or for eighteen
months after President Cleveland took
his seat. Now the Oregonian says
that in the whole time not a single
month did the revenues raised under
the Mckinley bill meet the running
expenses of the government, but it
adds that for at least two of the months
since the Wilson bill became a law,
there has been surplus. The Nc
Kinley law was a pretty good "tariff
for deficit" Under it during the last
two years of President Harrison's ad-
ministration the surplus decreased
from S153, 200, 900 per year to SO, 900,
and the last six months of that admin
istration there was deficit, caused by
the Mckinley tariff, and this tariff for
deficit only, unfortunately had to be
continued for year and half under
the present administration. The Will
son bill will produce revenue enough
when the expenses of the government
are reduced to the normal. The
change in the pension laws, adding
100, 900 new names to the pension list,
required about $40, 100000 a year for
the past two years, to pay the back
pensions and this will not be perma-
nent charge. The Wilson bill is all
right, give it a.chance.

during the month of September, taxes
as follows: From the rolls of 1890, '9l
and '92 $502 0S from the roll of '93 $780,
04 and from that of '94 $2033 II, or
total of $3325. %.
Mr. Rasmus, who, it will be remem-
bered, assisted by the K. of P. and

This has been the busiest day the
ferry yboat has had since it first began
running. Up to 10 o'clock 20 teams,
most of them with four horses, had
been crossed, and since that the boat
has been going loaded to the guards
Just as fast as she could make the trips,
and between her tri ps with wagons, if
there was a lull, big band of sheep
was waiting for her.
The cannery is running on short
time now on account of scarcity OF fish.
1t is probable the run will be so light

There are now over 5000 cases put up
and by Saturday night 1000 will prob
ably be secured. This morning about
six tons were received, most OF them
coming from the grounds in dispute
between the Bunnells and Seuferts.
Marshal Blakeny has good sized
felon on his thumb that camps with
him of nights and refuses to part from
him in the daytime. He has not had
much sleep but told us confidentially
the felon was the 946th suggestion. that
he had just received to arrest the
felon and lock it up. When you come
to think of it though, it isn't at all
strange that a city marshal should
have a felon on his hands.
Charles Myers was hanged at Pom

claimed his innocence to the last, but
said he was the victim of circumstan-
ces. To the last moment he had
hopes of having his sentence com.
muted to imprisonment for life, but
when on the scatfold he bade his
friends good bye, and promised "to
meet them in heaven" The cause for
which he was hanged was the burn
ing of the hotel at Asotin, Frank
Sherry being burned to death in the
hotel.
On Wednesday evening, while the
12-year-old son of VIM. Brown, who
lives below Zillah, was playing around
the dryer of a neighboring hop house,
while the hops were being shoveled |
in, he managed in some way to get |
under the stream of hops; and before
his disappearance was noted he was |
buried several feet beneath, and death |
resulted from suffocation. How such |
an accident could have happened is |
difficult to realize: but those working |
around the building heard no outcry, |
and search was made only when his |
absence aroused anxiety. Yakima |

According to the Walla Walla Union
that city is reaching far into the future
for its amusements. 1t will have on
exhibition soon several buxom speci-

what will probably be her new employ

THE DISTRICT FAIR.
If You Have Not Already Done Something
For 1t, Do 1t at Once,


For 1t, Do 1t at Once.
One week from tomorrow the fair
will commence. What have you done
towards making it a success? If you
have done nothing, why have you?
There is nothing of so great import
ance to the agricultural community as
local fair. 1t is thing of good or
evil, just as the people and more par
ticularly the farmers see fit to make it.
1t Is an opportunity provided for dis
playing the products of the country,
so that the world may see and Judge
them. 1t an interest is taken in the
matter and good display of fine farm
products is made it is a great adver-
tisement for the country. If on the
other hand no one takes an interest in
it, and the displays consist of a few
articles carelessly selected it were far
better that none at all be shown, and
that the fairs be discontinued for left
handed advertisements are not needed.
Thrifty, industrious people are quick
to note thrift and industry in others,
and equally quick to notice slipshod
methods and poor results. That kind
OF people are not apt to settle and
make their homes among the indolent
and unenterprising, yet that is the
kind OF people we want. Take an in
terest in the fair, and make it what it
can be made, an exhibit of such fruit
and vegetables as few countries can
boast, and prepare to do it at once.

The Fair at Hood River.

We have had considerable to say
concerning both The Dalles and Hood
River fairs, yet at the risk OF becom-
ing tiresome we again urge general
attendance at both these fairs. The
same principles apply to both, and the
interest of the county demand that
both should be we'll attended and en-
couraged. The fair at Hood River be-
gins Friday and closes Saturday.
Special rates have been given by the
Regulator of so cents for the round
trip, on either day. The weather is
beautiful, and Hood River, always
beautiful, is just now at its best, and a
day spent there will be one long to be
