CITY AFFAIRS.

There is dilemma in our municipal
affairs that requires immediate stten-
tion, and some action should be taken
at once. The fact is the revenues
of the city are less than the expenses
of carrying on the municipal govern
ment. and, we are informed, the deficit
for the past three years will amount
to about $4,000. This requires an
instant remedy, and q careful and
searching investigation should be had.
There must be exercised the most care
ful economy, and whatever has caused
this deficiency must be stopped. Tx
payers should know the facts, however
unpleasant they may be, as they are
directly interested In keeping down
every unnecessary expenditure during
t mes of business depression, The
Dalles has considerable wealth; but it
cannot stand continuing deficiency in
the treasury always. There must he
halt called somewhere, as ths best
interests of the community demand it.
The committee appointed by the mayer
are shrewd business men, and each is
directly interested in tho econom-
ical administration of the affairs |
of the city. 1t is expected
that the plan or plans they may
formulate will have beneficial effect
in this regard, and their report is
looked for with the greatest anxiety.
Unlike the general government the
municipality has not the power to is
sue bonds to overcome the deficit, and
it would not be wise to pursue such
. course If it had. The current ex-
penses can and should be kept within
the limits of the receipts, and without
this is done there can be no other re-
suit than municipal bankruptcy.
There would be some excuse for this
it the city had been engaged in any pub
lio enterprise for the benefit Of the peo-
pie; but, aside from the old water system
and grist mill purchased few years
ago, and the necessity of laying new
mains below the bluff after the FIRE
of September. 1891, had demonstrated
that the former plant was abso-
lutely worthless, there has been no
necessity for any extra expenditure.
This state of affairs must be met by a
bold front, and retrenchment inaugu-
rated as soon as possible. Every tax
payer is interested ia the matter, and
have q right to demand that the closest
be exercised and thAt the
eaks, wherever they are, be stopped.

horn things and could not be perverted.
Factories continued closed and wages
low, and there was no revival of trade.
Month followed month, the free-trade
experiment was in full operation, and
still there was DO change in the line
of improvement. If possible business
has becoue m,re depressed, and the
deficit in the treasury has grown larger.
There have been two issues of bonds,
the country is 800, 100000 more In
debt than when Mr.. Harrison left the
executive chair and yet there Is no
beneficial change in the general con-
dltion of the nation.
After the election in 1892 Demo-
cratic promises were bright for the
future, and the beginning of good
days, they sai6, would dawn when the
"robber tariff was eliminated FROM
the statute books. The first year of
Democratic control of national affairs
was spent in trying 10 remodel the
tariff to suit notions. and in
this signally failed to fulfill
their prophecies. Their last years
lease of power is being devoted to
the currency. with not very Aattering
prospects that anything will be ac-
complished.
The people are becoming very tired
of these Democratic experiments, and
anxiously look forward to the time
when they can place the Republican
party in control of affairs again. They
know that when the Republican ad-
ministration stepped down and out
the highest wages was paid labor, fac
tories we're running on full time, the
finances of the nation were on a solid
basis, and there was no COM
plants about financial depression or
business staanation. The change came
suddenly after Democratic victory, ,and
was general In every department of
industry. It was not caused by the
silver purchasing clause Of the Sher-
man act, for that has been repealed.
Neither could it be laid to the currency,
for the nation had revived from the
terrible drain of four years of civil
war under the financial system exist
ing in 1892.
There can DO no other causes for the
universal depression in all branches of
trade except Democratic experiments
in changing old and successful policies
for new and untried ones. II the
Mckinley bill had remained in force

tories reduction of wages and boarding

and they cannot be controverted by un-

PERFIDIeUs.

The bolt yesterday at Salem from
the caucus nomination was something
unexpected and unprecedented. 1t war
not obligatory ON any Republican to
90 into caucus; but, after they met
in convention with the understand
ing that the candidate receiving the
highest number of votes should receive
their support for o. 8. senator, 1t
is per6dy of the blackest kind to
stultify themselves and favor an
other man when called upon to voice
their sentiments in the house or senate.
This was done yesterday, and every
one who acted in this per6dious man.
per will be remembered by the people.
Mr.. Coon, from this county, said,
when interviewed by reporter of this
paper before the legislature convened,
that he should support the man for the
United States senate whom he consid-
cred the choice of his constituents.
While at Salem he was written to re-
garding his choice for United States
senator, and his fnal answer was that
he should 60 into caucus and abide BY
its decision. Last June, when the
canvass was being made in this por-
tion of the state, the contest was
fought on she- Dolph and anti-Dolpb
issue, and In the public speeches made
for the Republican ticket the fact was
made plain and emphatic that the
party was in favor of sound, honest
money and opposed to free sill
YER and unlimited coinage The
speakers dwelt particularly upon
the record of Mr.. Dolph in
congress, and favored his reelection.
At some of these meetings Mr.. Coon
was present and spoke. and gave ex-
preston to his unqualified endorse
ment of Republican principles and his
tacit support of Dolph and his position
on the financial question. Notwith-
standing these facts, Mr.. Coon yester-
day in the house voted for Frank A.
Moore, one of the judges of the su-
preme court for United States senator,
q man who has never been known as
candidate, and who has not stated that
he desired or would accept the po-
sition.
But, if possible. to make perfdy
most perfdious some of those who
voted for Mr.. Delphi in the separate
branches of the legislature Tuesday
changed their votes in joint conven-
ton of the two houses today. When the
dispatch came yesterday making
Dolph's vote 4s In both senate and
house we did not imagine it within the
bounds of possibility that this could be
changed, and considered his election
absolutely certain. From the action
Of the boilers in joint con-

majority for the Republican
ticket last June.
