ing the theories have been satisfactory.
The farmers of Wasco and adjoining
counties have attempted diversified
farming with good success; but this
must be followed to larger extent be-
fore the greatest benefits will be de-
rived. Hog raising has been engaged
in with good returns, and we are satis-
fed more attention will be given to
matters that should engage the farm
ers attention. There are many articles
that still come from distance that
could be produced at home, and which
would make every community self
supporting and tend to increase the
amount of money in circulation.
There are canned fruits on sale in our
stores that come from California and
the Willamette that could be put up
at The Dalles as cheaply; and, again,
there is not a broom factory east of
the Cascades, and the climate is
adapted to the growth of broom corn.
Every dollar sent away for an article
that could be raised or made here is so
much wasted, and tends to stop the
development of the industries OF
the city and make it subservient
to other points. Self-reliance is
the greatest impelling force in
the growth of individuals, and the
same is true of cities. The child that
is never allowed to think or act for
himself developes into puny man,
and the community that depends upon
others for everything the people eat
or wear will never enjoy independence
or be prosperous or wealthy. With
unbounded resources, a delightful eli
mate and fertile soil The Dalles,
could have large export trade in fruit

modities, instead of depending almost
entirely upon California and the Will

THE HA WAIIAN INCIDENT.

For some time it has been known
that the relations between Minister
Tburston, of the Sandwich islands, and
the state department had not been
amicable, and, at the request of
this government, he had been recalled.
What caused this breach between Mr..
Thurston and Mr.. Gresham was not
made public until yesterday, when the
steamer from Honolulu brought the
letter of the secretary of state to the
Hawaiian president regarding the
matter. 1t seems that Thurston had
permitted to be published some private
correspondence he had received from
Honolulu, intimating that the recent
revolution had not been dealt with by
the present administration as it should
have been by neutral power, and that
Mr.. Willis, in Honolulu, had hampered
the authorities in prosecuting those who
had inaugurated the late rebellion, in
marked contrast to Mr.. Hawes, the
British minister. This Mr.. Gresham
considered fragrant breach of ETH
quette on the part of a foreign ambas-
sador, and Immediately wrote to
Hawaii requesting his recall, which
request was complied with. AS this
subject is ventilated in the dispatches
it becomes public matter, which the
press have a right to criticise, and
which the people may either support
or condemn. 1t is not question re-
garding the manner Mr.. Cleveland
acted towards the Queen of the Sand
wich islands, before and after she was
deposed, but whether an accredited
minister to this country should make
public matters which would tend to
lesson the respect due the executive.
At Washington city he received every
courtesy that was extended to
foreign ministers, and his re-
lations to the government were
those of an honored guest.
When he violated the diplomatic rules
that govern the position he occupied
he was not entitled to the least consid-
Grafton from the state department, and
he merited his dismissal. Republicans
and Democrats will uphold the action
of the administration, and his home
government has also signifed it's ap-

has REACHED HAWAII.
Gresham's Letter Demanding Thurston's
Recall.

Recall.
er MaqipOSd brings Hawaiian advices
from Honolulu dated May2, as follows:
The letter demanding the recall of
Minister Thurston was read in the eX-
ecutive session of the council yester-
day. The letter had gone past Homo
lulu and was taken by mistake to Hong
Kong.
The ground of objection to Thurston
is confined to a single transaction.
The sole offene alleged is that Thurs
ton at the Hawaiian legation, showed
to correspondent private letters to
himself from Honolulu. This particu-
lar letter, it is said, criticised Cleveland
and Gresham for their attitude toward
the January uprising. Gresham spoke
to Thurston about IL g matter. Thurs
ton apologized, but declined to accede
to Gresham's request that the apology
be in writing. Gresham's letter,
dated February q, states in strong
language that Thurston is no longer
personally acceptable to the admins
tration at Washington as the Hawaiian
minister. 1t is definitely settled that
Thurston will not return to Washing
ton. He has resigned, and Frank
Hastings, now in charge of the Haw-
allan legation, will probably be pro-
NOTED to minister.
Cabinet officers state no retaliatory
measures will be attempted so far as
Minister Wells is concerned. The
Dole cabinet is anxious not to widen
the breach with the Cleveland admin
istration. Thurston's friends say he
was betrayed by the newspaper cores
pondent, who was allowed to read the
private letters, than reported the con-
tents to Gresham, but did not publish
the statements rejecting on the
president.
There is said to be a rupture in the
cabinet over the disposition of the
rebel prisoners. President Dole and
two other ministers favor releasing all
but the leaders, and two ministers de-
mand the punishment of all. Ex-Queen
Liliuokalani is tired of confinement.
Her attorney is preparing a writ of
habeas corpus for her liberation.

The Treasury Powerless to Prevent It.
Mint Receipts of Gold Falling OF.
WASHINGTON, May THE discov-
cry that gold is being purchased in
the city of smelters by the gold syndl-
cate in New York created quite an ex-
citement in public circles at Washing
ton. Officers of the treasury depart
ment are disposed to be reticent con-
cerning the gold syndicate of New
York purchasing gold bullion of Wes-
tern smelters at rates higher than
those paid at the mints. They admit
that the receipts at the mints had
sensibly diminished ever since the
contract for the purchase for gold
bonds was awarded to the Belmont
Morgan syndicate, but it is evident
that for some time past the treasury
has been compelled to pursue policy
which will assist the syndicate in de-
livering gold in accordance with the
terms of the recent bond sale contract.
Another feature of this affair lies in
the fact that the production OF gold In
the United States has increased t.
such an extent as to make it an obje y
for this foreign syndicate to corner "
| control the gold market, and inasmuch
as the Belmont-Morgan syndicate OBJ
tanned not only the privilege of pur-
chasing these bonds at very low
figure, but monopoly of all bonds is
sued between now and next October
at the same rate, it is clear that from
the high price they obtained on the
sale of the gold bonds abroad they can
afford to pay premium for gold bull
lion over and above the rates fixed at
the mints. In this way the syndicate
obtains practically a monopoly of the
gold product of the United States, and
particularly the product in Colorado,
| where the increase in gold production
has been so large in the last year. or
two. The treasury seems to be entire.
ly in the hands of the syndicate. 1t
must have gold to maintain its reserve
even if it practically cr1pples the pur-
chasing operations of the mints.

SAN FRANCISCO, May THE steam

news that the British ship EaTnsclife,
from Manila to Hong Kong, thence to

Princess island, off the coast of Asia.
Her crew was picked up by the Danish
steamer Lotcifer. en- route to Batavia.
The value of the ship and cargo is said
to be not less than 100000.
From the same source comes intelli-
gence of mutiny on the British ship
Landberqa, while at Lliolo, a British
settlement, 200 miles from Hong Kong.
Half of the crew mutinied and five men
attacked the captain and second officer
with knives, one sailor stabbing the
captain three times in the back. The
captain shot his assailant dead. The
second officer was severely wounded
by the knives and clubs of the mutt
neers, who, with aid of the first and
third officers were finally driven at the
pistol point to the. forecastle and left
there until a launch from British
gunboat, in answer to signals, brought
marires to the rescue. The mutineers
were ent to England in irons.
Bot. ships are well known on this

THE SUBSIDY RAISED.
Seattle People Have Made up Bonus F

Seattle People Have Made up Bonus For
Ship Canal.
SEATTLE, May 9.-The subsidy of
$500, 200 to be given bv the people of
Seattle to the Seattle & Lake Wash
ington Waterway Company, which is
to fill in the tide-fats and excavate a
ship canal to Lake Washington, was
completed today, and work will begin
by May %, the date set by the con-
tract with the state. The work to be
done is the excavation of two water
ways connecting the Duwamish river
with the sound; the excavation of a
canal from the harbor to Lake Wash
ington, distance of two miles, and
the filling of about 1900 acres of tide
lands. The work will cost about 81
100000 and occupy about five years,
and the money will be furnished by
ST. Louis persons represented by the
Mississippi Valley Trust Company.
The lake canal has been advocated by
many authorities for 40 years, and
after much effort an appropriation OF
$25, 900 for its construction by another
route was obtained from the last con.
gress. but the work has now been un-
dertaken and will be carried out by
private enterprise.

BUSINESS PLUCK.

The example of Seattle, in subscrib-
ing the amount of the subsidy for the
Lake Washington canal, is worthy OF
imitation by every community in the
northwest. She does not depend upon
government aid to begin the great
project of connecting the water of the
lake with the sound, but, with spirit
of enterprise that always augurs sue
cess, her business men loosens their
purse strings. and the amount required
is forthcoming. Seattle has felt the
results of the depression in business
the same as other cities, but in this
emergency raised $500, 900 for the COM
mencement of an improvement that
will give her the best harbor on the
north Pacific coast. Such spirit will
succeed, and this great undertaking
will be accomplished, although the
work will cost $7,OOO,OOO. Six years
ago, when fire devastated that city and
left her brick and stone blocks in
ruins, her business men began to re-
build almost before the ashes had
cooled, and in little while more beau
tiful and substantial structures took
the place of the shapeless debris.
And ever since she has displayed the
same indomitable pluck and energy.
When the great financial crash para
lyzed certain communities Seattle did
not suffer a single bank failure, and
weathered the storm without the least
noticeable effect on her business pros
perity. Her action in subscribing the
subsidy required for the canal is only
in line with the advancement she has
made against every obstacle that has
impeded her progress in the last few
years. This is an excellent illustra-
tion of self-reliance and inherent
strength in a city, and is an example
that others should follow. There are
Oregon towns that possess natural re-
sources that have apparently suffered
or enjoyed the sleep of death for the
past quarter of a century, because they
did not have the grit, self-reliance or
inherent strength to push forward and
reap the advantages of their loca-
tion. They do not grow or prosper,
and every financial disaster leaves them
in much more deplorable condition
than before. Constantly asking and
expecting aid from the government or
state for the improvement of natural
facilities for trade they display not the
least energy in the direction of help
ing themselves. If they would learn
the true elements of success they
would know that in as far as they do
this they will be entitled to aid from
others. 1t is the same with commu-
mites as with men. Victory is the
reward of earnest effort and untiring
energy, and is never awarded to the
indolent and dependent.

CALISToGA, Cal, May 8.-Two mask
ed road agents caught stage load Of
San Franciscans on their way to the
summer resorts of Lake county yester.
day, and stripped them of their val
uables. The robbers secured about
$1,000 from the passengers and looted
Wells, Fargo & Co.'s treasure-box as
well, but how much they got out of it
is not known.
The hold-up was on the Calistoga &
Clear Lake line. The stage left Cal
istoga at noon and reached point II
miles from Mirabel, when two masked
men stepped from the bushes lining
the road and ordered the driver to
halt. Keeping their pistols pointed
at his head they made him throw down
the express box. While one of the
highwaymen kept the driver and pas
sengers covered the other broke open
the box but found no money. The
passengers were stood up, and while
one of the robbers kept them steady
with his weapon the other searched
their pockets.
The highwayme6 went about their
work like old hands at the business,
one in particular being as cool as if he
were collecting taxes. Twelve hundred
dollars reward has been offered for
the capture of the robbers.
