CHICAGO seems suddenly to have be-
come the center OF the fight between the
gold faction and the silver faction. The
gauntlet thrown down by the advocates
of a gold standard in extending an invi-
tation to President CIeN Gland to attend a
banquet to be given in his honor, has
been promptly taken up by the silver
men and the Democrats of Illinois An
effort will be made to show that a few
capitalists of Chicago do not represent
the sentiment of the people of that city
or of the state.

NAe
sension can find no loophole for
entrance. This indeed is true
marriage.
Those laws, whether of marriage
or divorce, which consider but the
physical man, are evidently wrong
in basic principle. Every man,
woman and child is possessed of
three separate natures-the spir-
itual, the mental and the physical
and each clamors for recogni-
ton and consideration. When so
important a subject as marriage
is to be decided, woe be unto the
man or woman who subordinates
the higher nature to the lower.
Happy, thrice happy, those two
who find each in the other the
perfect response to their triune
nature! Alas, how few such up
on this earth! 1t is a sad, sad
fact that the most of marriages
are based upon physical attraction
alone. The awakening comes, and
then the demand for separation.
Some advocate the slackening of
the laws, that divorce may be more
easily procured; others the tight
ening of the cords and forcing the
people to recognize the fact that
marriage is no child's toy to be
played with and cast aside at will,
but once entered into is a lifetime
bargain. There are plausible ar
guments on both sides. When
those who make the laws realize
the fact that miscarriage may
cause one almost angelic to de-
velope demoniac characteristics,

The Thimble.

Did you ever take the trouble to
look up the history of the curious
little bell-shaped indented piece of
metal you wear OF your finger
when sewing, and which you are
contented to call your "thimb1e ~
1t is a Dutch invention, and was
taken to England in 1896 by one
John Loftjng. It's name was de-
rived from the words thumb and
bell, being for d long time worn on
that member, and called the thum-
bel ; only within the last 100 years
has the word "evolutedn into
thimble. All records say that the
thimble was first worn on the
thumb, but we can scarcely con-
ceive how it would be of much use
there. Formerly it was made of
brass and iron only, but Of late
years steel, silver, gold, horn, ivory,
celluloid, and even pearl and glass
have been used in its manufacture.
A thimble owned by the Queen
Consort of Siam is shaped like a
lotus, of solid gold, thickly studded
with diamonds, which are so
arranged as to form the lady's
name and the date of her birth and
marriage. Queen Victoria has a
very valuable gold and diamond
set thimble, upon which are en-
graved many historical scenes from
English history. - Christian at
Work.

while a perfect marriage can and
does change the nature of one vile
and wicked to angelic sweetness
(for the power of understanding
and sweet sympathy is as yet UNI
m~easured) when also they realize
that in marriage elements are to
be considered which cannot be
reached by mans law, they will
no doubt see the enormity of the
task whose proper fultillment is
expected of them. The demand
is for laws which, while maintain
ing the respect due to marriage,
that none may consider it light
Iy nor trif1e therewith-will never
theless be sufficiently elastic to al
low all who find the environment
therein impossible of happy adj
justment to escape, that others
may not suffer for their sin.
The awakened womanhood of
to-day - the new womanhood -
points to prevention as betterthan
cure for the divorce evil. ''Fewer
marriages but better.' 1t has been
claimed that women are beginning
to decline marriage. Our obser-
walton has led us to different con-
illusions. The highly educated
woman will not marry soyoung
nor so thoughtlessly, but brings
all the force of her sllper!Cl' edu-
cation and the more accuratejudg-
ment of mankind gained by con
slant observation in the school
room to her aid, in Judging as to
the fitness of this or that one for
life companionship. We do not
say that sometimes this may not
prove hard for some to bear, but
we do say that we believe that
such a line of action will result in
a betterment of the race and in a
solution of the divorce question.
The New Woman has taken in
the financial side of the question
also. She has observed how many
of her sex give all they have to
give-loye, time, unremitting la
Dor, endurance of sickness and
their board and clothes!
-(The picture is not overdrawn,
but in many instances absolutely
true to life)-and she positively
refuses to sell herself so cheaply.
Here again we think the result will
prove of wide benefit.
Like all reforms these new ideas
are disastrous to many during the
period of transition, yet if the New
can solve the much vexed
divorce question so satisfactorily,
we think she will prove a blessing
to the race. TT

What Pleases a Woman.

It pleases her to be called a sen
sible little woman.
It pleases her to be called a we'll
dressed woman.
It pleases her to be told that she
is dangerously fascinating.
It pleases her to depend on some
man and pretend she is ruling him.
It pleases her to be told that she
improves a man by her companion
ship.
It pleases her to be treated cour-
teously and with respect, and be
talked to reasonably.
1t pleases her to be treated sensi-
bly, and honestly, to be consulted
and questioned, and not to be
treated as a butterfly, with no
head, no heart.
1t pleases her to be loved and adj
mired by a man who is strong
enough to rule and subdue her and
make his way her way. To lead
her and take care of her.-Music
and Drama.

You will not be sorry for hearing
before judging, for thinking before
speaking, for holding an angry
tongue, for stopping the ear to a
tale-bearer, for disbelieving the ILL.,
reports, for being kind to the dis
tressed, for being patient toward
everybody, for doing good to all
men. for asking pardon for all
wrongs, for speaking evil of no one,
for being courteous to all.

nish the conditions of normal de-

nlSh the cOndltlOnS or normal de-
velopment.
The genuine article is always
better than the artificial. Then
necessarily if female education at
its present stage is beneficial, real,
true education will be more eff
cient. The home needs it, society
needs it, and the progressive spir-
it of the times demands it. So
many thousands of the women of
to-day have to support themselves,
and higher education would GER
tainly enable them to do this with
more ease and with more justice
to their employers.
Give the woman a chance. You
will find her as well suited for
%"sweeping the heavens for a com
et' as for sweeping off the back
stairs, and that she has as much
talent for testing "a new process
for making oleomargarine' as for
making the butter come by work
ing the churn-dasher. Let women
have the advantages of education,
genuine education, and unrestrict-
ed education. Don't force them
and humiliating labors
for want of proper intellectual
training
And to the girls we would say:
Assert your rights along this line;
be guided by the higher ideals of
intellect rather than by the at
tractive yet ensnaring sentiments
of Cupid. CO-ED.

He who allows a single day to
pass and cannot say at night: ~
have done a good deed,D to him
that day is lost forever. That is,
the possibilities OF the day are lost,
not the day, for when he reaches
the dark mystic line, those wasted
days will pass before his vision
like grim specters. Then he will
say: aOh, that I could live over
again.

Aged men, you who have felt
the influence of a beautiful and
v%irtuous woman certainly know
that her very. words acted us q
stimulus towards a better endea-
vor, and hat in her you always
found cheerful and ever hoping
contidante. knowing her as such
can you deny her powers? Woe
unto him who does not appre-
ciatc her every effort.
Sons and daughters, you all
know the gentleness and kindness
of a mother. There is not a
stronger tie existing than that
which binds her to the objects of
her devotion. The untying of the
mystic Gordian knot, itself, could
sooner be effected than the sever
ance of that strong cord which
tightly binds her noble and gen
erous heart, overlooking with love,
to those to whom she is bound by
the most powerful laws of con-
sanguinity.
How sweet are her soothing
words to the disconsolate! How
consoling her tears of sympathy
to the afflicted! And how refresh
ing her spirit of hope to the dis
couraged The oppressed and
down-trodden all feel her infu-
ence, and with her natural tender
ness she softens the woes of this
world of sorrow and strife. She
cheers the closing hours Of the
dying. and when life has depart
ed she Grapes their cold forms.
Throughout life she plants the
seeds of kindness and refreshes
them with the dews Of piety.
Woman as wife and mother is
seen in her proper sphere, and in
this position she influences her
associates in their characters and
happiness, and last, but not least,
she is the guardian angel of the
destinies of the nations of this
enlightened world.
All of these influences are not
only due to the strength and force
of her virtues, but also to her per-
sonal charms. Beauty and virtue
T. hers, and with these her infu-
ences must beltelt. These are the
instruments with which she per-
forms her deeds, and as such they
make her reign supreme. as if in
her reposed the strength of the
giants of old.
We thus see that only true and
noble women can WELD such last
ing influences.
Such women are walking in the
right path, and in this path are
they strewing flowers fragrant
with the perfume of their own
qualities. As such they are the
embodiment of all that is beauti-
full; and in this light the Almighty
intended they should be seen, and
not in the light Of a jostling, push
ing and masculine woman Of the
coming century. Along with man
in his everyday affairs she will
ere long become his like.
Where then will the men look
for inspiration? From what source
will they receive those inspira-
tons which are the gifts only of
true, loving women? And above
all, what will become of this world
without it's guiding star, which is
the light of the moral world?
As the "new woman" she will
soon grow coarse, and will GER
lose her feminine charac-
teristics. A perfect woman should
be a chef-d' euvre Of grace and re-
fnement, and to this end she must
be exempt from the toll of man,
and must move in that circle
where her reign is undisputed
md her powers undeniably ire
,istible. BELLE DUPRE.

THE D4LLES ENTIED.

The example of The Dalles, in Eastern
Oregon, is worthy of imitation. Not
having competition in transportation
they formed steamboat company and
were successful in controlling the freight
business. The effect on the business of
the town was very apparent as it inn
proved greatly. Now The DAlles is be-
coming a great competitive point in
freights and the railroads are bidding
for the trade. What has been done
there could be done in Independence.
West Side.
The fame of The Dalles is going
throughout the whole Northwest as the
one city which has mastered the trans
portation problem. Five years ago we
were IN the grip of single company,
and our freight rates were what it
wished to charged. Now, thanks to the
patriotic citizens who built and have
maintained the boat line, the freight
tariff has been so greatly reduced that
there is not another city which possesses
any advantage over The Dalles. Well
may Independence wish for greater
water competition and for men like
those who made our boat line possible
and set in motion the causes that will
make the "Gate City" of Eastern Ore
gon prosperous and great.

NEW GRAIN SCHEDULE.

The Q. R. & N. have fixed new grain
schedule to go into effect today. The
new rate from The Dalles is 1920 per
ton, instead of $2.65 as heretofore. The
new rate from Deschutes, Biggs and
Grants is $2.75 instead of $3.O5. The
rate from The Dalles is still 80 cents per
ton less than from any point in Sherman
county, and the deduction from The
Dalles is 45 cents, while from points in
Sherman the deduction is SO cents.
This is another forcible argument in
favor of an open river, and another
feather in the Regulator transportation
company's cap. With an open river
Sherman county will WELD the cudgel,
but until then they will have to do as

THE WOOL MARKETS.

Among the incidents of note in the
wool markets during the past few days
is the heavy buying of Americans in the
London market, 800 bales having been
there purchased for shipment to the
United States, and the sale of 100000
pounds in New York; besides over 600,-
600 pounds of pulled wool for shipment
to China to carpet manufacturers. If
this latter report is true, the Pacific
coast may yet find market for its wool
which has never been counted upon.
The Chinese are skillful in the manu-
facture of tapestries of certain kinds,
labor is cheap, and with the introduce
ton of approved machinery, there is no
reason why China will not compete with
the world in the carpet business. The
opening of every new market is a benefit
to the producer, and this will prove no
exception to the rule.
On the other hand, the purchase of
large shipments in London by Ameri-
cans is corroboratiYe of the republican
contention that free wool is destructive
to the sheep business here.

OUR STREETS.

Most OF the streets of The Dalles would
be in good condition were it not for the
loose rock in them. One does not real
ize how rough this loose rock renders
the street until he rides over them on a
bicycle or in carriage. A very little
time spent in clearing up these stones
would be appreciated by everyone who
uses the streets. Marshal-Street-C Com .

on all citizens by giving this matter at

The Dalles has one of the best orches-
tras in the state, and is proud of it, as
we have a right to be. But everyone is
not able to enjoy the music as given at
public entertainments. In other cities
arrangements are made for free open air
concerts once a week, or once fortnight
during the summer, and in times past
our city has done the same. There are
several vacant lots, centrally located,
upon which stand could no doubt be
erected at small expense, and with a
little encouragement, we believe the
boys could be induced to favor us by
occasional concerts. Who will take the
matter in hand and see what can be
done in this respect?
