SAID PASHA YIELDS.

Scheme for Reform in Armenia Accepted
by the Sultan.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 16.-Said
Pasha has accepted the scheme for re-
form in Armenia drawn up by Great
Britain, France and Russia and it now
awaits the signature of the sultan.
The scheme is almost identical with
the proposals of last May. which was
in substance, that the governor of Van,
Erzeroum, Sivas, Bitlis, Khartown
and Trebizond should be Christians or
Mohammedans. according to the in
clination of the population, but either
the governor or vice-governor should
be Christian, and the appointments
are to be confirmed by the powers.
The local and not state officials are to
collect the taxes and enough money is
to be retained before it is forwarded to
Constantinople to pay the expense of
the local administration.
Complete changes are to be made in

abolished and prisoners.w not be
under surveillance. The police will be
composed of Christians and Turks
equally. and the laws against compul-
sorry conversions to Islamism will be
strictly enforced.
The ambassadors of the powers ex-
pect the whole question will be finally
settled during the week by the promul.
CATION of an imperial decree.
Contrary to general expectation, the
high commissioner charged with the
execution of this scheme of reform
will be a Christian. This was the
hardest pill for the porte to swallow,
and for long time threatened to
bring about the most serious compli-
cations.
A Russian warship has arrived here.
The situation at Ismid is critical, and
Christians are apprehensive of
Turkish outbreak.

orado's Governor
DENVER, Oct. 17.-News reached
here today that a negro named Mar
shall had been tarred and feathered at
Greeley last night for having insulted
Governor Mcintyre there.
Marshall, who had been arrested,
was taken from Jail last night, escorted
out of town, tarred and feathered and
ordered to leave town. He was not
seriously injured, and today left for
Fort Collins.
Governor Mcintyre was surprised
when informed this afternoon of the
incident at Greeley. He went to BIZ
cycle races at Greeley Tuesday in
company with his wife and Lieutenant
Governor Brush and wife. When they
arrived at the stand for teams they
found the way blocked by long wagon,
to which was attached team driven
by Marshall.
General Klee came up that moment
and requested the negro to move his
wagon so as not to take up too much
room. Thereupon Marshall delivered
TRADE of abuse, using most foul and
insulting language. Finally, however
he did as requested. Governor Nc
Intyre thought so little of the matter
he had not mentioned it to anybody
since his return to Denver. General
Klee said this afternoon that Marshal
deserved to be sent out of town, but he
thought the punishment inflicted upon
him entirely too severe.

Subsidence of Land.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 16.-Major
Quinn, United States engineer in
charge of the lighthouses of this dis.
trict, has just returned from Port Eads
and the jetties. He insists, after a
careful examination, that the lower
delta and the sea- marshes along the
Gulf of Mexico are slowly sinking.
For more than year experiments
with tide gauges have been in progress
at the mouth of the Mississippi river
and as a result, Major Quinn has
reached the conclusion that the level
of the gulf has been. raised one foot
since 1877. This the major attributed
to the gradual, though irregular SUBJ
sidence of the land along the coast
and, he believes throughout the Mis-
sissippi delta and the southern portions
of Louisiana.

NOT 4 CANDIDATE.

A number of our exchanges are dis
cussing the question as to Elk Presi-
dent Harrison's withdrawal from the
presidential race, and of course vary
in their conclusions. We suggest thai
with his two old enemies, Platt and
Quay, at the head of his party in the
two greatest states in the Union. there
is at least a strong probability that
the ex-president has concluded he does
not want the nomination. This con-
clusion will probably be strengthened
by the recent election returns in his
native city, which convey to the astute
political Indianian strong suggestion
of things unhoped for. This sugges'
tion in turn is made more incisive by
the election returns from Massachu
setts. Ex-President Harrison is g
shrewd politician. and while he has
not made public announcement that he
is not in the race the facts speak fol
him. He is not candidate.

STIR 1T UP.

The Prineville Review devoted q
great portion of its space last week to
the discussion of the Cascade Forest
Reserve, and the gross injustice of re-
fusing sheepmen the privilege of pas
turing their focks thereon. The
question is an important one, and
should be agitated until the senseless
ruling is revoked. The sheepmen. in
stead of injuring, protect the forests,
and as we have before suggested, q
comparison of the forests where sheep
range with those where they do not,
shows that the latter have dozens OF
fires when the former have none. The
heavy forest fires are most numerous
where the hunting parties from Port
land are most plentiful. The forest
fires are usually on the west side of
the mountains and in the Coast Range,
while the sheep are mostly herded on
the eastern slope. The reservation
should never been made, but now that
1t is made, it is absurd to prevent the
pasturage of focks thereon. AS
matter of fact, it is simply game pre-
serve, set aside at the behest of the
Portland Rod and Gun-Culb.

THE LAWS OF TRADE.


When the American people abandon
the idea of protection our commerce is
at the mercy of the money powers. If
nation, a corporation or an in
dividual is so situated that the prices
of the products are made by the
purchaser and not by the producer a
failure in business sense is an newt
able result. The price Of our wheat is
made by the purchasers in Liverpool,
and the outputs of our factories are in
as bad q dilemma by the prevalence of
the Cleveland idea of non-protection.
Before we can be in a prosperous con-
dition as a nation we must be free from
the ban of British dictation. The price
of our silver and our wheat especially,
are IN the keeping of the kings of Lom-
hardy street. Those. two important
products of the great west are manipu-
lated to the ruin of what would be
under normal conditions land of re-
sources as rich as India was before
Lord Hastings dictated the financial
policy of that land of natural wealth.
The spirit Of Hastings prevails.
Grover Cleveland acts the part of Gov
ernor-General and the bartered prov
inces are the agricultural and mineral
states.
The above from the Lewiston Teller,
an Idaho paper, serves to illustrate the
wonderful and innumerable vagaries of
the human mind to which knowledge
for some, perhaps wise purpose, has
not been given. The Lewiston editor
has not yet learned. that law, old as
creation, that regulates all trade, the
law-of supply and demand. The editor
in question is not quite certain whether
the low price of wheat and silveris due
to "British dictation, Grover Cleve.|
land. or Lord Hastings" but insists
that the spirit Of Hastings prevails.
Comment on so self-evident absurdities
as the editor indulges in is hardly nec-
cessary. When one man or one nation
has q surplus of its products to sell, it
must, sell them at the price the, parch-
aser is willing to give, or at least that
he can be forced to give, otherwise he
will not buy. Il is conceded that if we,
as a nation, grew all the wheat in
the world, we could dictate prices to
the world, up to that point where prices
would become prohibitory, and the !,
consumers would be forced to use some |
substitute. The same might be said |
with less force of silver. But we do
not produce all the wheat, hence we
must sell it at the same price that any
other nation is willing to sell it at.
The fact is lost sight of in dealing with
these questions that every producer of
one product, is consumer of many
others, that we exist by trading the sur
plus of what we produce for the surplus
products of some one else. Money is
imply the means by which the trade

If one article demands and receives

Naspy,s Accommodatine Lecture.

That satirical lecturer, the late David
r. Locke, better known as "Rev. Pc
troleum Vesuvius Nasby," had device
by which he saved time and brain. He
himself once confessed to us, says the
New York Sun. that when lyceum
committee from any place called upon
him to engage his services, and asked
what he would lecture about, he al
ways told them to take their choice:
Cursed Be Canaan" "Moses in the
Bulrushes," Wisdom for Seekers = and
Our Country's Hope" But" said
Nasby, confidentially, II had only one
lecture all the time; and whatever title
they liked best, they got the same old
thing; it suited any title. every place
and all occasions"

in their opinions, was the cause OF the
low prices paid. The answer invaria-
bly, was, the Wilson-Gorman tariff.
They report that the Canadian farmer
undersells the American farmer in the
produce and livestock markets of Buff
falo-our market town-on every occa-
sion, and will continue to do so until
there is an increase in the tariff duties
so as to afford ample protection to
American products.
"'1 have been a close student of
American history, past and present,
for the past twenty years, being myself
engaged ia writing a history of the
United States, and 1 can truthfully say
that during the past IS years there has
never been beneficial public measure
placed upon the national statute books
by Democratic congress, nor bene-
fetal measure made law by any party
without the opposition of Democracy,
and dare say there never will be a
time when the Democratic party will
cease to be clog. and hindrance to
national prosperity.
"'Let every true American rise as
one man and smash that party of free
trade into atoms and bury it so deep
beneath an avalanche of votes in No
vember, 1896, that it will never appear
again in American politics."
Mr.. McKellips should certainly
make valuable and correct historian.
No doubt his work would be an author
ity as reliable as that of the modern
Ananias. Let us examine into Mr..
McKellips' statement concerning the
"Wilson-G German tariff; that is ruin
ing Mr.. McKellips' market, first pre-
missing that Mr.. McKellips has no kick
coming at the tariff of 1883, which
was Republican measure, and under
which Mr.. McKellips' history will, no
doubt, show that the country was
happy and prosperous. The low prices
of produce, livestock and poultry
are what worry McKellips. The pres
ent duty on some of the products
named is as follows: Eggs 8 cents per
dozen; under the law of 1883, 8 cents
per dozen. Poultry, dressed, 3 cents
per pound; under the law of 1883, 3
cents per pound. Cattle, present duty,
20 per cent; under 1883. not at hanG,
but under Mckinley bill, $40 per head.
Hay So per ton, same as in 1888.
Wheat 20 per cent; under the law of
1883, 20 cents per bushel. Vegetables,
nnclassed, 10 per cent, same as in 1883.
Onions 20 per cent, same as in 1883.
Hops cents per pound, same as in
1885, Barley 80 per cent, same as Nc
Kinley bill. Butter cents per pound,
same as in 1883. Potatoes Is cents per
bushel, same as in 1883. McKelllps
100 per cent liar, same as 1888; ditto

PER CENT OF CHARITY.

The dispatches state that when the
decision of the q. S. court of appeals
in the case of the United States
against the Stanford estate was made
public at. Stanford university the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed among
the students. "They went wild, shak-
ing hands: hugging each other and
yelling themselves hoarse. Steam
whistles were blown. and students
with horns and COW bells marched
about the campus making as much
noise as possible. A grand parade was
held in the evening" This demon
stration serves but to prove that the
jury will not convict the hog thief, so
long as the individual members thereof
get a portion of the pork. Stanford
and his associates beat the government
out of SIC, ,000, 600 in way that only
the magnitude of the amount pre-
vented it from being classed as lar
ceny. At the close, or about the close
of long, long life, when death had
taken from him his only child, and old
age had removed about all ability to
enjoy life,' Stanford eased his con-
science by devoting 25 per cent of his
gains to founding an educa-
tional institution, partly for philan-
thropy, but principally for the perpetu-
alton of the name and virtues of Stan
ford. The enthusiastic hilarity of the
young Americans at the university
was caused by decision of the courts,
which however correct technically al
owed the steal to become complete
md without remedy. Had the de-
,isiOn gone the other way. no doubt
here would have been mourning deep !
ind sincere among these same stu
lents. As it is, it may be set down as
/ fact that the man who robs all the |
people all the time to give portion of |
MS stealings to a part of the people |
part of the time, will win the graft
Jude of part of the people all the |
lime. Nearly 25 per cent of Stanford's |
'tealings were devoted to good cause.
when he had ne efurther use for them,
10 it seems that charity not only COW
ers multitude of sins, but that 25 per
cent charity will cover IS per cent of |
crime.
