IN UNION THERE rs STRENGTH

Whatever line of procedure is good for
one city is generally good for another,
especially when it is founded upon rec
ognized principles of common sense.
Each city of Oregon Is in the race for
greatness, and is planning how best it
can attract outside capital and inhabi-
tants. No place can prosper to any
great extent while it is torn with inter
nal dissensions, and no truer words were
ever spoken that ga house divided
against itself cannot stand.'' The fol-
lowing from the East Oregonian con-
tains good advice, and every city whose
elements are not we'll united should ap-
ply to itself these words, which the
East Oregonian addresses to Pendleton !:
Let's keep busy; not busy fighting
and squabbling, but busy pulling to-
gether for mutual profit. Let's love our
neighbors, let's take the advice of Plu-
tarch: ga man should not allcw him
self to hate even his enemies, because if
you indulge this passion on some occa-
sions, it will arise of itself on others.
If you hate your enemies, you will con-
tract such vicious habit of mind as by
degrees will break out upon those vino
are your friends or those who are indif-
ferent to you" This was the wisdom of
Plutarch. He was great fellow and
accomplished great deal.
Suppose every man in Pendleton pos
sessed the spirit of Plutarch. Why, we
would have a mighty inland city here
city of happy homes and busy work
shops. We can have it. AIT we have to
do is to make a strong pull, a long pull,
a pull together, and keep everlastingly
at it." Now, fellow-c citizens, begin
this good work by loving your enemies
by forgetting and forgiving the petty
differences of the past; subdue preju-
dices by association, by rubbing up
against one another. The profit de-
rived from doing these things will sur
prise you. The wealth of Golconda is
not equal to it. Men who can do such
things are big-hearted, big minded, and
always very happy.
A man who loves himself very much,
who is stuck on himself, is very apt to
hate his fellowmen and learn to believe
that they are in his way of accomplish
ing something, and such impressions
are the greatest barrier in the path OF
general prosperity. We should not have
such in Pendleton. Even if Pendleton
is a small town, with small buildings
and small businesses, it can have big
ideas, and it is big ideas that accom-
plish big things and make men enjoy
life. The smallest minded thing always
has the worst time. Let's make Pendle-
ton big minded.

The attorneys for the defense in the
Durrant case have finished their argu-
ments, and when the district attorney
closes the prosecution and the judges
charge is delivered, the jury will retire
to deliberate upon a verdict. As the
great case draws to close, the interest
in the outcome and speculation upon
the verdict increases. 1t is absolutely
impossible to forecast the verdict of
twelve men, removed from all influences
save the law and the facts; but the ma
jority of opinion is that either convic-
tion will be secured or disagreement
will result. The case seems too strong
against the defendant to admit of the
jury rendering a verdict of not guilty ;
yet in the minds of some not strong
enough to warrant conviction. 1t is to
be hoped the suspected man will either
be found guilty or acquitted, as disa-
greement and trial would be more
than the finances of San Francisco and
the patience of the reading public can
stand

LONDON WOOL SALES.

One OF the latest reports of the Lon
don wool sales, that of ]. S. Bloomfield,
dated London, September 81, 1895, said !:
The English have shown themselves
the keenest buyers, Yorkshire, and par
ticularlv Bradford, having been the
most busily employed of all the very
busy manufacturing districts throuhout
Europe. The French, who stood aside
last series, and whose stocks are sup
posed to be very bare juet now, are also
eager operators, while the German rep
resentatives are acting with more re-
serve.
world. From this report, says the Econ
omist, it is evident that the woolen
manufacturers of England are 'the most
busily employed of all the very busy
manufacturing districts throughout Eu-
rope" There is nothing in this report
saying that the American manufacture
ers are ''the most busily employed"
1t is probable that the activity of our
manufacturers would be more noted in
the shoddy markets as, under our pres
ent tariff we are unable to supply our
home market with wooden goods of a
quality similar to those made in Eng
land at the same price. The German
tariff is an excellent thing for York
shire and for European rag pickers.
The American wool industry it has prac-
tically destroyed, and the chances are
that the American woolen manufactur-
ing industry will, before long, be in as
impoverished a condition as are the
wool growers.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

Pendleton Tribune: The boom which
visited the Puget Sound country some
six years ago has proven almost as dis
astrous to that section of Washington as
if visited by a Kansas cyclone. What
the disastrous effects OF real estate
boom failed to accomplish, has been sue
cessfully carried out by peculating Off
cials.
Baker City Democrat: The Oregon
farmer can find profit and satisfactory
results in producing pork and beef from
his surplus wheat, and save the fertility
of the soil by so doing. There is profit
in raising hogs which can be placed in
market at eight months old weighing
200 or more, while one taking twelve
months to reach that weight causes a
loss.
Spokesman review: If there ever
was occasion in the life of the nation for
readjustment of the tariff, that occa-
sion ls now before the country. Natur-
ally the democracy wishes to drop the
tariff from national issues, because it has
demonstrated its inability to deal with
that question. But workingmen out OF
employment, and manufacturers with
out orders, and farmers who prefer a
better market. and wool growers who
have been driven abroad for market,
will take different view of it.

BOUCHAT KILLS OELSON.

Tho West Indian Cooks Fist Was More
Deadly Than His Pastry.
Philadelphia, July 7.-Francois Bou-
chat, West Indian negro, who peddles
pastry through the streets. in resenting
the teasing of party Of sailors at
Second and Walnut streets this after
noon struck Daniel Oelson with his fist.
knocking him down. Oelson's head
struck upon the stones of the street,
his skull was fractured and he died in
a few minutes. Bouchat was arrested.
The negro came here three years ago
as cook on a foreign man of war.
He left the vessel here and has since
been an unique figure In the business
streets of the city. He dressed entire
ly In white linen that was always inn
maculately clean, and his appearance
and peculir cry in French as he called
his wares attracted general attention.
The dead sailor was largely to blame
for the assault that cost him his life.
He threw ashes in Bouchat's basket of
pastry and when warned by the negro
to desist caught hold of the latter and
began to pull him about. Bouchat then
struck him and he fell and was killed.
