The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1895-11-16
EDITORIAL NOTES.

If there is not bloodshed at Pendle-
ton soon, we miss our guess. The
| editors of the East Oregonian and Tri-
bune are hailing each other with all
manner of "endearing" epitbets. The
| charge for printing the delinquent tax
| list is the foundation of all the dis.
| turbance.
In this country there are now 22S
iron furnaces in operation, against 112
last year, and the output from January
to Oct. 25th this year is 7,293,O 600 tons,
| against 1850, 900 tons for the same per-
iod of last year. This increase has oc-
Cured under a reduced tariff too.
There must be something wrong in the
theory that reduction of the tariff
would ruin the iron industry.
| The little actress who bestowed her
affections on Lord Sholto Douglass
has found her titled swain an unruly
and obstreperous hubby. In San Fran
cisco the other day he threatened to
shoot the dear girl if she disobeyed
his lordly commands by seeing her
| mother. 1t is needless to say she
needed not his threat, and divorce
will likely follow. Another instance
of the folly of marrying a title.
Lynching under ordinary circum-
stances is not excusable, but it is at
| times the only means whereby Justice
1,o fad 70 fol ala0a nf
criminals. If it is ever excusable it
would be in the case of the three men
in San Francisco who have made a
wholesale practice of enticing little
girls into den of vice for immoral
purposes. Death is the only punish
ment suitable for such brutes.
Ohio has not gained much in the
overthrow of Brice and the elevation
of Foraker. In politics they are of
the same class and kind. What Brice
has done for the Democrats of Ohio,
Foraker will accomplish for the Re-
publicans of that state in avery short
time. The welfare of the people is
not in good keeping when placed in
the hands of such men as Brice and
Foraker.
Senator Allison comes up serenely
as a candidate for president. He is
not brought forth as illogical" can
didate, but as one who has been able
at all times and under all circum-
stances to remain noncommittal on
every leading question until after the
public pulse was felt, or in other words,
until he knew which way the cat was
going to jump, hence has few sins to
answer for.
And now another American heiress
has gone and bestowed her affections
and her wealth upon an Englishman.
Pauline Payne Whitney, daughter of
ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney, has
married Almeric Paget, son of General
Lord Alfred Paget, who during his
lifetime was personal aide-de-camp to
the queen. Won't the next congress,
which will be all over for protection,
do something to protect our rich girls
from the foreign adventurers.
The Portland Dispatch, commenting
on the result of the recent elections,
says: "The old Dominion. and the
great Missippi went Democratic. All
the rest are on their way to eternal
damnaticn, Ohio, Iowa, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania and Kansas" Not so
bad as that. Bro. Noltner. Those states
are all right. just compare the vote
of this year with that of 1894, and you
will see they are getting back into
Democratic line as fast as they can.
The assertions that the tariff law of
1894 has ruined the WOODEN manufac-
turing industries of America are
rather to be discredited when the fact
exists that nearly every woolen mill in
the country is running on full time. +
And if they are not able to maintain
operations under the law of 1894, they
could only do so under tariff that
would be almost absolutely prohibitive,
Tor at present they are given an aver
lge protection of 40a per cent on man. !
lfactured woolens.
The situation in Armenia has assum-
ID such serious aspect that it is high
lime the powers of the world were
aking the matter in hand. They |
would be justified in assuming cold
FLOODED attitude toward Turkey, and
informing that government that for t
'very Christian assassinated Turk i
will be sacrificed, and if needs be let t
he sultan be the first victim. The C
of the old law of ;'an eye t
or an eye'' is about the only manner I
" which the murderous Turks can be a
,rought to their senses. b
The New York World publishes q
omplete list of the American heiresses
Tho have married foreign men of rank
7ithin the past twenty-five years.
here have been, according to the '
arefully compiled record, 125 of these t.
marriages, and they represent total a
+ S161, ,163, 900 of American money Fl
aken out of the country. Is it much E
,onder that we have to go to Europe n
or money with which to build our d
factories, ETC., when our girls u
ersist in carrying SO much good Amer N
,au gold across the sea? IL
The plucky and patriotic Cubans
ill never submit to Spanish tyrany
gain. Nothing but free and inde- -
endent government will satisfy them. a
he sooner Spain recognizes this fact II
nd draws off her forces the better it is a,
,r her. Should she subdue them now h.
cost of $1,000 lives. she will have at
q her hands people more dissatisfied m
ian ever, ready at any time to rise in 40
,bellion. There is too much of the ne
,irit of American independence in
le makeup of the Cubans to allow
em to longer submit to the dictates
an European potentate. They will, Ca
i'd ought to be free. lal
