where Hard Times Do Not FinOh.

Six cars OF fruit were shipped last
week from The Dalles. Another will
leave tonight and two more Wednesday.
Prices SO far have been very satisfactory,
even the local market ruling high. 1t
is very fortunate our interests are so di-
versifed, as a continual stream of money
from the East ls converted to US the
year round. Beginning with straw wber-
ries, the fruit shipping season does not
close till nearly straw berries again, for
winter apples and pears are shipped
until the middle of April. Other i'm
mense interests which attract capital are
wool and stockraising, which reaches
into the millions annually in Wasco
and surrounding counties of which The
,Dalles is the outlet. Fishing, mining,
numbering and general farming add
their quota to the business of common
wealth, prosperous even in these pinched
and panicky times, by sheer virtue of
our raising and possessing SO much
natural basic wealth. This leads us TO
again observe that our fruit is the best
in the United States, proving it by two
cotemporaneous facts. At the worlds
fair Of 1898 Oregon took first premium
and at the Oregon state fair the same
year Wasco county also took first pre-
mium for the state.

LiberaIIty of the Views of the Chinese
Statesman.
1t is claimed that notwithstanding
Lii Hung Chang has shown some liber-
ality of views toward modern improve
ments and education, he is at heart q
hater of foreigners, and has an abiding
faith in Chinese institutions ard meth
ods of government. He is, it is true,
a great admirer of Confucian philos-
ophy, and remembering the enduring
history of his people we can hardly
wonder at his devotion to the institu-
tions which have made that history
possible. When we call to mind the
experience China has had with certain
western nations, it might not be con-
sidered strange if his attachment to
foreigners was not very ardent; but
in all his public life, says John w. Fos-
ter in Century, his conduct shows
that he feels the need of foreign aid,
and is disposed to give it proper well
come, and of all Chinese statesmen he
is the most liberal-minded and free
from prejudice. He is far from claim
ing that the present system of govern
ment is perfect. He has, in fact, urged
upon the authorities at Peking two i'm
portant changes which look to areform
of the most serious defects in the sys-'
tenn; to wit, the withdrawal from the
viceroys of provinces of powers which
should be exercised only by the imperial
government, and such change in the
method of admission to the.public serv-
ice as will liberalize the examinn tions,
and make fitness rather than scholar
ship the test. There are other changes
which he would gladly bring. about If
he had the power; but, as he confessed
to Marquis Ito, 'tChina is hampered by
antiquated customs which prevent de-
sirable reforms

WAsHIHsroN, April Tn the Sen
ate, Teller presented petition to-day
from the Coun:il OF the American
Federation Of Labor Of the United
States asking for the restoration OF
the free coinage Of silver and express
ing the opinion that such a course
would promote prosperity. Butler
OF North Carolina introduced a joint
resolution providing for the amend
ment Of the constitution to limit the
veto power Of the President, making
it competent that the two Houses
could pass bills over veto power. He
said the idea Of requiring two thirds
vote was due to the fact that when
the constitution was adopted the
American people we're not far remov-
Cd from English ideas.
Call gave notice that he would call
up his Cuban resolution for discus
sion to morrow, during the morning
hour. The Post Office appropriation
bill was taken up, the pending ques-
ton being the compensation Of clerks
at postal stations and sub stations
involving the matter of the consoidd
ton Of post offices.
Villas commended the amendment did
not enlarge the powers of the Post
master General, and Postmasters al
ways had the power to establish sub
stations. He denied that he had said
the Postmaster General had the
power to send man a Thousand miles
to establish an Office as charged by
Allen.
Allen read from Villas former speech
in support of his statement.
Villas declared the Nebraska Sena-
tor COMPOUNDED two propositions and
ad led tartly, "The Senator from Ne
braska was, as usual, incorrect and
can't SEQ that he was"
Senator Wolcott. speaking of the
abuses of the law by the cabinet Off
GERS OF the present administration,
said that ono of them was now barn
storming III Georgia in favor of mono
metalism. He should have called at
tention to the matter earlier. he said,
we're it not better that he was away
than here, as far as attention to pub
lie business was concerned. Hill
wanted to know If cabinet officer
had not the right to make political
speeches, and Woicott retorted that he
had not the right to neglect his duties
in that way.
In the Senate, after long civil ser
vice discussion, Allison moved to lay
ON the table the amendment provid.
ing when any post Office is consoli-
dated with another Office, to become
station or sub station, the salary of
the clerk in charge is to be paid out
OF the general appropriation. The
motion was agreed to. Yeas 48, nays

showing an objection to the consolida-
ton of post Offices.

A NOTED POKER GAME.
Tho Texan Thought He Had Fallen
AmnnH q Gang NJ RhArnarn

Among = Gang OF BhArperA
"A Buffaioman who in stopping at the
Waldorf told a poker story the other
night in the presence of reporter,
which, he says. has never been in print,
concerning four eminent citizens of his
own and bad man from Texas. Ac-
cording to the narrative, the four emil
nent citizens, who were the then dis
trict attorney, the surrogate of Erie
county, the proprietor of the principal
democratic newspaper of Buffalo and
u wealthy iron manufacturer, decided
TO have a quiet game one evening some
time ago, and with this end in view
they repaired to a private room over a
shop conducted by Paddy Lyons, a
leading saloonkeeper. The four citi-
zens considered that five was the
proper number to make poker inter-
esting and complete, and they accord
ingly sent out a messenger to one
friend after another to obtain q fifth
man, but without being able to find
one. In the emergency Lyons in
formed them that there had come to
him that day man from Texas, with
letter of introduction from friend in
that state. perhaps he'd like to join
the game" said Lyons.
al don't know anything about him,
except that my friend says that he's all
right, but I'll stand for any losses he
don't make good" The four eminent
citizens said they would be glad to
have the Texas gentleman in the
game, and he was therefore brought
up and introduced, He seemed a. quiet,
inoffensivc person, and he appeared to
be acquainted with the game.
1t SO happened that the first time it
came the deal of the newspaper pro-
prictor he gave the Texan a full hand.
That gentleman looked at his cards,
glanced about at the other players, and
then turning his hand face up on the
table, he said: II pass" with some sig
nificance. The four eminent citizens
were somewhat surprised, but they
continued the game without any com
ment. The very next time the news
paper proprietor dealt the cards he
happened by the merest chance to give
the stranger four kings.
Again the gentleman from Texas
turned his cards face up on the table,
and again he scrutinized the faces of
the four eminent citizens. Then he
said: 1--WE played this game with
thieves before. Ill bet, one thousand
dollars that that blacl1-bearded crook
(the newspaper proprietor then wore a
black beardJ has got four aces" Vain
ly did the four eminent citizens pro-
claim the innocence of any intention to
take the stranger in. He was obdu-
rate, and they finally called Lyons up
to explain matters to him. The Texas
gentleman listened to Lyons expostu-
lations that the players were four of
the leading men of Buffalo, and then
he said: "You blanlsety blank robbcr,
you can't play that game on INC! You're
in with 'em!" 1t was several days be-
fore the Texan was convinced that the
four eminent citizens were what they
professed to be; and to this day Buffa-
lonians are undecided as to whether
the joke was on the Texan or their fell
low-citizens.-N. Y. Telegram.
