THE DEMON DRINK.
Thrilling Experience of an Inebriate Given
in His Own Language.

The recorder had before him q
chronic case of inebriety that has been
before him on different times, and he
sentenced him to ten days in the city
Jail. Evidently he is a man of intelli-
gence, and, as evidence of the trend of
his mind and life we publish the fol-
lowing, written by him during one of
his periodical sprees:
Iou fall to drinking furiously,
vehemently,a land drink enormous guam
titles of the strongest liquors. You
drink enough to kill an ordinary man
in a couple of days" The tit passes,
and during the fit have no will of my
own, and then toward the end of a de-
bauch there is never-ending process
sion of images which dance and caper
(anything but walk) pass before me,
with SUCH frOwns as people never saw
or heard of before. They have heads
of animals. They have human faces,
which mock and jeer; eyes which
threaten and haunt. l hear voices in
unknown tongues; but they are hos
tile voices. oh. God! | cannot eX-
plain half the horrors which come
at the end of these attacks. Between
the attacks | have no desire for drink;
in fact, loathing and disgust is the
only feeling for 1t. When the attack
comes agaln the loathing turns to
craving for the cursed stuff. | would
go through Hades' fire to get it. l am
quite sure you never met such devil
as this one. He draws and drags man
with ropes: he parches his throat and
sets it on fire; he makes him gasp and
catch his breath. When he arrives
one is like man lost in hot and sandy
desert. He gives him bottle-a
heavenly bottle with liquor, and then
bids him drink and be happy. They
talk of fighting such devil, don't
think anyone ever did combat such
iend. Youremember Christians fight
with Appollyon in the valley. Well,
if Appollyon had a fiery furnace to
ram down Christian throat, and then
bottle of liquor to give him, Appollyon
would have won. When this devil
is away L feel strong and am deter
mined to fight him. When he comes
l let my resolution fail and am his
prisoner.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

AS the government work at the Cas-
cades nears completion there are sew
eral railroad projects receiving at,en-
tion. There are schemes to build
roads. into Sherman county, and to
points in Washington. These may or
may not mature; but the fact will re-
main that The Dailes will be the head
of navigation for many years to come,
and this means considerable. 1t
makes little difference to our business
men how many lines are constructed.
This furnishes an outlet to the sea by
means of the Columbia river, and no
railroad can compete with cheap water
transportation, If our capitalists had
the proper enterprise this city would
be the terminus of several branches of
railroad to the interior-the more the
better-and the gateway city would be
the centre of trade for region of
country larger than is tributary to any
point in the Inland Empire. The pos
sibilities of growth and development
of this city with an open river to tide
water are almost unlimited, and the
next few years will prove whether our
people will take the tide at its flood or
drift on at low water mark as they
nave IN bne pdSIs
1t is intimated by some persons who
appear to have some means of forecast
ing coming political events, that if
Hon. Binger Hermann does not re-
ceive the nomination for congress in
the first district in 1896, he will be an
Independent candidate for the position,
which will almost certainly defeat the
regular nominee. We have no means
of verifying this presumption, or what
ever it may be, and place little faith
in it. Mr.. Hermann has been honored
by his constituents at every election
by receiving the largest majority of
any man ever elected to congress from
this state, and it would be base in
gratitude to the Republican party for
him to run independent if he were de-
feated in the nominating convention,
OF which we do not believe he will be
guilty. There can be no objection to
the manner in which Mr.. Hermann
has served the people of Oregon, land if |
another man were placed in nomina-
tion for congress it would not be con-
sidered in the light of a censure of |
anything he has done or left undone.
The position of congressman should |
not be one for life, and we believe |
there is good material in the first dis
trict whose capability people desire
to test by sending one OF them to
Washington.

AN UNFAIR SYSTEM.


The people of this country have been
aroused to action by the press in
regard to the gigantic trusts which
have been formed, and it is stated that
by combination they have managed to
keep the price of articles at high fig
ure. But there are evils extaht
In this nation, other than the price of
commodities. which call for immediate
relief. One of these we find men
toned in the following excerpt from a
New York paper:
SIT looks as if the profits of the
bazaar magnates were not to be in
creased much longer by the oppression
of the work-girl. The outcry made by
the merchants who founo that the
bazaars were stamping their lives out
has aroused the armies of clerks in
the department stores to sense of
their own situation. In neighboring
city where the bazaar system has been
carried to very exalted pitch thou
sands of girls, it is said, are getting
ready to strike against system which
crushes them down to four dollars a
week, as wages for phenomenally long
hours. If manufacturers, merchants
and clerks unite against the monster
Of illegal and indecent competition,
there will soon be an end of him.
These bazars, by sweating process
which impoverishes laborers, manage
to place an inferior article of goods on
the market that furnishes unfair COM
petition to those engaged in legitimate
business. For instance, clothing.
boots, shoes and dry goods will be of
fered for sale at rates that those who
deal in the one article cannot compete
with, and this is done by hiring un-
skilled labor at prices much lower than
are paid to persons who have a thor
ough knowledge of each particular
branch. The shoe manufacturer is
forced to pay for competent mechanics
much more per day than bazaars give
to men or women who know little or
nothing about the business. And the
same may be stated in reference to
clothing establishments and other
branches of business.
The system not only debases labor,
but puts on the market an inferior ar
ticle to the injury of consumers. The
wages paid these are not sufficient to
support them. and throws skilled labor
out of employment. We have
never advocated the paternalism
of government, but believe
that it would be proper for
legislation to come to the relief of
these over-worked and poorly paid
laborers. The consumers should have
protection against these shoddy
articles, and such low wages as are
paid not only discourages men and
women devoting time and attention to
acquire a knowledge Of haDdicrafts,
but reduces labor to species of serf-
dom, which is contrary to the spirit of
free institutions. The legislature Of
New York has taken action in this
matter. and other law-making bodies
should follow their example. Pater-
nalism OF government may destroy
the self-reliance Of the individual; but
1t is not paternalism for protection to
be furnished the citizens where, under
the circumstances, he is unable to
protect himself.

A Work of Art.

Ernest Jensen is on visit to his sis
ter in Astoria. He took with him a
piece of handiwork that was truly
work of art. With needle, worsted
thread and pieces of canvas for sails
he made perfect representation of
ship in full sail. The waves of the
angry ocean were beautifully iepre-
sented in colors true to nature, and
the majestic craft appeared to thrill
with the conscious of mastery over the
oceans waves. 1t will be handsome
ornament for parlor, and is good
advertisement of the skill and taste of
Mr.. Jensen.

Wool Matters.

We are informed that four million
pounds of wool have been shipped by
rail from The Dalles during the pres
ent season, and further the same party
states that the o. r. & N. Co. reduced
the rates first to S1.05 per hundred,
and then made further reduction to
9O.9 per hundred pounds. The boat
line met this rate. Notwithstanding
the fact that the TINES
has for the past thirteen years strongly
supported an opposition boat line on
the river it will do justice to all con-
cerned land even will render due credit
to the railroad company.

morning about o'clock for Golden

After stopping at that place about

the evening, Ed Riggs arriving at half
past clock, Charlie Fritz at Z, G.
Bartell at half-past I and the re-

and no other portion of the town was
damaged. There is plenty of water at
