The President and the Press.

President Cleveland's message to
congress upon the Venezuelan qnes-
tion Is the most geneally and warmly
commended by the press of the ma
tion Of any official utterances coming
from the white house in many years.
The Inter Ocean is fairly representa-
tive of the republican press in say
ing: 1.-THE message is in tone that
will be pleasing to the country. 1t
insists upon the validity OF the Mon
roe doctrine, and upon its applica-
ton to present conditions, and it
clearly indicates determination for
enforcement.
The vital point of the message is
in its recommendation that congress
shall make an appropriation for the
expenses Of commission, the men,
bers Of which are to be appointed by
the president, charged with the duty
Of determining, upon impartial evil
dence, "and with sufficient certainty,
what is the true divisional line be-
tween the Republic Of Venezuela
and British Guiana Had her Bril-
fannie maiesty's government con-
scented to submit the matter to arbi-
tration the need Of such commission
would not exist. But by repeated
refusals to arbitrateGreat Britain
has put upon the Uniten States the
burden Of proving to its own people
and to the civilized world the equf-
ties of the case. If it shall appear
that Great Britain claims no more
than is secured to her by treaties
made, or by possession acquired be-
fore Venezuela achieved independ-
ence, then the United States has no
cause of quarrel. But if the territory
in dispute belongs Of right to sister
republic. then the United States is
bound, for the protection OF its own
form Of government against foreign
invasions or intrigue, to prevent new
occupation or invasion of any part of
this continent by European power.
The closing declarations of the
message are strong, clear, dignified,
and resolute. For the first time in
his papers President Cleveland puts
in uneXceptionable language ring
ing utterance of genuine American
ism. He comes to the line occupied
by most of the republicans and many
of the leading democrats in the sem
ate and house, and without buster
meets the issue raised by the Mon
roe doctrine as bodily and as eXplic-
lily as did Secretary Adams and
| President Monroe when the gravest
possible consequences threatened.
| And this is to be said for Secretary
Olney: He has handled the ques-
tion in way to increase his reputa-
ton as a lawyer and diplomatist,
and his discussion with Lord Sails
bury of the principle at stake will
probably go into history as one of
the dearest definitions of American
policy on record. On this question
the people are with the president
and his secretary of state, as they
were with President Monroe in the
case of South America and President
! Grant in the case of Mexico.

WHEN 1t comes to question Of
national patriotism the republicans
do not stop % consider that Mr..
Cleveland is democrat and that n
war with England may result in
greatly strengthening the lettering
democratic party. The republican
party now rs ever puts national hon
or before everything else. What If
Mr.. Cleveland did profit by study
of the language of his patriotic re-
publican predecessor. The princi-
pie was right when twas promnl-
gated hy Benjamin Harrison, and II
II equally right when promulgated
10y Grover Cleveland. The republic
cans supported Benjamin Harrison
when lie 80 vigorously defended our
national honor, and they are now
supporting Grover Cleveland for do
ing the same thing. 1t has always
been the belief Of republicans that

partisanship, and they will support

THE FEELING rs THE SAME
EVERYWHERE.

The Astorian reprints THE CHRoNI-
CLE's comments concerning Secretary
Kincaid, and adds:
Astoria has been the beneficiary of a
taste of this desire, go apparent i'll Mr..
Kincaid, to get hold of everything in
sight, and probably the action to which
ne haYe reference was more picayunish
and contemplate than any charge men,
toned by The Chronicle. A state COM
mission to represent Oregon at the
Mexican exposition was appointed by
These gentlemen, selt cted by the COVER
nor to represent our state, and to devise
ways and means to contribute TO her
honor and fufther fame abroad, were
chosen by the chief executive with
special reference to their fitness for the
position, and all felt fattered by the
selection. A few weeks after the ap-
pointments were made each of the COM
missioners received his credentials,
signed by the governor and containing
the seal of the state, accompanied by a
letter from Mr.. Kincaid, in which that
Individual made demand for 81 for
af6xing the seal. This Was not only an
insult-a tax upon a mans willingness
to serve his fellow w-citlzens-but de-
liberate attempt to obtain money to
which we are firmly convinced the Sec
retary of state had no legitimate or hon
OraI'le claim.
We are indeed sorry that man who
stoOps to such msthods should hold a
high position among US. More sorry
still that such man calls himself re-
publican, which he is not. It. is time
that his whole official record should be
investigated, and that the public shopld
know whether Mr.. Kincaid, dressed in
little brief authority, is TO be allowed
any longer to dishonor the whole state
of Oregon
A gentleman residing at The Dalles
was one of Gov. Lords appointees to
represent Oregon at the Mexican expo:
sition, and he too had occasion to feel
the insult of dun from the economical
secretary of state.

PORTLAND SAYINGS BANK.

1t is poor commendation to the re-
ceiver of the Portland Savings bank
that committee is necessary to hasten
liquidation or investigate. We don't
know much about running bank, and
less about receiverships, but it strikes
. us that the management of the Portland
Savings Bank is disgrace to the direc-
tors and to the city of Portland. Peo-
pie throughout the state placed their
money in that savings bank, in full con-
fidence that it would be safely cared
for and wisely invested. The depositore,
or very many of them, could lily afford
to loose their deposits; but since the
first closing of the bank, and in fact for
several days before the first closing. it
has apparently been managed for the
exclusive benefit of officers and en-
ployes. Now the means which should
go to the depositors is being devoured
by receivers expenses and fees.
1t may be all right, but it doesn't look
that way to the poor man who has de-
posit there.

A Druggists semI-Annual Report.

Some four or five months ago the peo-
pie of The Dalles were notified of new
drugstore to be opened next door to the
First National Bank, and almost directly
opposite A. NJ. Williams & Co.'s store.
The general opinion then prevailed that
two stores were plenty, and a third
store must therefore starve. But surely
we are yet alive, and daily assuring our
patrons, as we'll as the public in general,
of our success. The doctors of our pros
porous city, who are well able to Judge
our work, all acknowledge the efficient
work done on their prescriptions, for
most assuredly there never was any
better, neater, more accurate or precise
work done in this city than is at present
done at this store.
Our stock of drugs is. getting more
complete every day. As we learn the
wants of the people, SO 10 we add to our
stock, never aiming to attain such an
immense quantity as to give it a chance
to get old; but always buy in such
amounts as to enable us to order fire.
quently, thereby keeping our stock al
ways in fresh and healthful condition.
We know the drug business, and per-
chance not much else; but we are judges
as to the quality of drugs, and therefore
must know what we sell you when you
give us call. Come and ask for infor-
nation, if nothing else.

The situation of the wool men is
much better than year ago. Last sea-
son many wool growers shipped their
fleeces upon consignment, and instead
of receiving further returns, had the un.
usual and distasteful experience of re-
funding part of the advance money for
freight charges. This summer very
little, if any, wool was shipped from
The Dalles upon consignment. The
wool was sold outright to buyers, who
we're ready with their check books to
draw from funds in the banks. Many
store bills and accounts of long stand
ing were paid by wool men, and the
channels of trade received an increased
flow of money. The rise in wool does
not offer any campaign arguments for
the democrats, however. 1t was not
due to the glorious workings of free
trade system. The price had gone SO
low that further production was impos-
sible at that figure. Many producers
had diminished their focks, and the de-
crease in amount between this year and
last Is estimated from 81 200, 900 to IOO,-
000, 900 pounds. Wool will never re-
gain its old level till republican execu-
tive and republican congress rule the
land.

SAFETY IN THE FIRE BOX.

How n brakeman saved His Life In a
Terrible Railway Collision.
From the Pttsburg Post.
The following strange story Is told by
a Fort Wayne brakeman who is employ
ed on the eastern division:
cit was on a light engine which was
being hauled over the Union Pacific road
from Denver to Omaha. My position
was that of brakeman, and as IL was a
wet, nasty night. and / did not care to
expose myself more than was necessary,
I sneaked into the cab of the dead en-
CINE and tried TO keep myself as warm
as could with the aid of an old blanket
/ found in the engineers chest. which
wrapped about me and laid down in the
bunk. About the time that i got COM

darkness. We were running along about
s5 miles an hour. and right ahead Of US
/ was startled to perceive another train
approaching at a higher rate OF speed
There was not much chance to jump. as
81 was Internally dark. and I knew there
was a cliff close to the track at that
place. / was about to drop on my knees
and pray for forgiveness for my past
sins, when | luckily thought that the ffre
box would be a good. safe place in which
to weather the collision. and in an in
slant 1 had jumped through the fire
door.
II landed on some clinkers which had
been left on the CRATE bars, and had Just
got on my knees. when there came an
awful crash. such as l had neve- heard
in my life before. and felt the old mo-
gul going first up and then down, down.

After awhile everything was still, and.
knowing that the worst was over, unless
the debris took fire and roasted me alive,
I made an effort to crawl out, but could
not do so, as car trucks and frames were
piled high above the wreck. / thought II
was a month till the wrecking train came
and then / began to cry out like mad
man and implore help. They must have
thought that / was lying under the en-
CINE with my legs crushed, for they gave
all their attention to me. and after
awhile they got the trucks cleared away,
and who did / see but Big Barney, the
wreckmaster. crawling between two car
sills with a bottle of whiskey In his hand.
Before he got out to where I was
reached out and grabbed the bottle, and
you should have seen the look on his
face when he perceived me safe and
sound and getting away with good whis-
key. II was some time before. they got
me out and beyond the bruises already
mentioned, / was as sound as before the
wreck Poor old Billy. the engineer. was
killed. as was also the fireman OF the
other engine. and two tramps. who were
on a car next to the light engine. were
crushed to jelly. The fire box saved my
pfe and never heard of another man
having saved his bacon in the same man.

knows little about horses. but is now

happier. Both men are particularly
fond of children and anxious for their

Vanderbilts uphold the name worthily.
Cornelius Is regarded as a first-class
