A Popullst Takes Exceptions.

THE DALLEs, April 80, 1896.
EDITOR CHRONICLE:
SIR:-I see in your paper of April 29th
an article headed, Don't get scared"
If you will give me space in your paper
will give the writer of the above article
a few points. In the first place will
brand the article from first to last as
false and written purposely to mislead.
He says: "We are not getting ahead"
He compares us unto Abraham Lin
coins steam boat, that ''when she footed
her whistle that she had no steam left
to run her machinery" would say
that we require no steam, as we run our
machinery by electricity, which is Gre
-ated by our rapid mode of computation
which is go simple that even the foolish
canuot err therein. Therefore the
masses fall in line with the thought, and
keep up the inexhaustible supply,
thereby making such rapid progress
that the inventors perceptible faculty is
not clear, and therefore cannot see the
rapid progress that the Populist party
is making in this state of Oregon and
what is true, for Oregon is true to every
state in this nation where the Populists
are party.
Why, TO convince the most skeptical,
just take a spin through Wasco and
Sherman counties, on the streets of The
Dalles and other counties and cities in
this state, and he or any other person
will soon begin to think that it lie fashion
able to be a Populist. And everybody
knows what it means to attempt to stop
the strides of fashion until it has had its
sway. Just so with the Populist party.
Nothing short of complete victory and
full administration will ever appease
the desire of the Populist party in this
state and nation. He says, "We are
trying to convince Oregon voters. There
is no convincing about it. The seed has
been sown, but not like other seed which
has been sown broad cast and hurled
into foreign lands, and more to eternity.
But it has fallen into good ground and
has been properly drilled and cultivated.
and we are going to reap a bountiful
harvest. But don't get scared. We
will measure out unto all good, honest
bushel. He also charges US with pay
ing high prices for our speakers. Why,
We have more speaking, then we can
handle. All free truth makes every
man free and the people are coming
daily. They. are self-convinced. He
says 'If the Republicans vote and do
their duty, they will have great nations. :"
So say 1. But they will be Populist ma
tions, and don't you forget it.

investigating Bible Truths.

Rev. o. D. Taylor's sermon at the
Baptist church yesterday morning was
the first of series of three, the subject
being the duty of investigating the
truths of the Bible. The second sermon
will he upon the sources of such truths,
and the third the truths themselves.
The sermon yesterday proved the wis
dom of investigating Scriptural truths.
With all Ipgersoll's logic in antagonizing
and disclaiming the God of the Bible, he
gave expression at the grave of his
brother to single sentence that over
turned all his best-sustained efforts. He
said: "Let US hope that this is not ALL

that it is of little or no consequences who
fill the other offies in gift of the people?
It seems to me that it will be well to in-
vite the attention of voters to the rela-
tive Importance of the Offices and the
qualifications needed by those that fill
them.
The sheriff should be brave, cautious,
courteous, honest and painstaking, and
should understand enough of book
keeping and clerical duties to keep the
books of his Office in good ane correct
form. Honesty and thoroughness
should be irrevocably linked with econ
omy in his Office. His chief claim to
nomination should not be that he can
control the votes of some clique, clan, or
corrupt element of the body polite.
The clerk need not be capital horse
racer nor billiard player, but he should
be a first-class accountant and book
keeper, firm, courteous and painstaking
in all the minutie of his duties, and
both able and willing to build up and
guard the interests of the people. Like
the sheriff, he will be satisfied with a
strictly honest and economical salary.
The county judge should be man of
large experience, capable of understand
ing law, a close fnancier, well ac-
quainted with the needs and resources
of the county, very upright in all his
dealings and fearless in enforcing the
same conduct in the management of all
county business. His principal bone
should be backbone. 1t would hardly
be putting it too strongly to say that he
holds the most important Office in the
county.
The qualifications of county commits
sioners should not fall essentially below
those of the Judge. They should be capa-
BILE OF doing more than holding down
their chairs, ,assenting to every decision of
the judge, and drawing their salary.
The prosperity of county depends
much more upon the judge and the COM
missioners than it does upon its sheriff
and clerk. The former holds the purse
strings and have it in their power to
largely control all other county offices,
and to So judicially expend the public
money that taxpaying might be a pleas
ure rather than a smarting burden. Law
and business sense-not custom-should
guide them.
Wasco county has plenty of capable
men for these offices. Why is it that in
competent men are SO often nominated
and sometimes elected to these places
If the qualified men are not patriotic
enough to accept the Office, let us nomi-
nate, and also elect, some of our army OF
energetic, patriotic school ma'ams.

During the late county convention of
the Populist party, it was observed that
many of the spectators left as soon as
candidates for sheriff and clerk were Sc
lected. Why? Almost any intelligent
citizen can name the different candi-
dates for these two offices, while very
few can name the other candidates.
Does the veal or woe of the county de-.
pend so much more upon those offices

AN anonymous correspondent
wants to know what the Healani
Boat club boys mean by organizing
crews and training under Adept
Carter. Probably the young men
are inspired by desire to become
.illful at rowing, in the hope of
winning distinction at some future
regatta. In the unsigned note
the inquirer makes the suggestion
that it is about time to think OF
pulling off" the boat races post
poned from last September. This
project is certainly worth consider
ing. The public is hungry for
shell contests.

thought of Col. Mclean to reduce
the drill duty of the volunteers of

on their own account. Still this
was really asking too much oil

now very well schooled in the

may be called upon to perform.

IT THINK" Hall Caine says,
"that know my Bible as few liter
airy men knowit it. There is no book
in the world like it, and the finest
novels ever written fall far short in
interest of any one Of the stories it
tells. Whatever strong situations
1 have in my books are not of my
but are taken from the
Bible. The Deemster' is the story
of the prodigal son. The Bond
man is the story of Esau and Jacob,
.hough in my version sympathy at
taches to Esau. The Scapegoat'
is the story of Eli and his sons, but
with Samuel as a little girl. The
Manxman' is the story of David and
Uriah. My new book also comes
out of the Bible, from a perfectly
startling source"

Value Of Royal Crowns NJ Estimated In
Dollars and Cents.


Dollars and Cents.
Regal crowns are an expensive luxury
for the people of those backward coun-
tries which still prefer to have kings to
presidents. One of the most costly
crowns in existence Is that Of tho king
Of Portugal. The jewels which orna.
ment It are valued at IS, 900, 900. The
crown which the car Of Russia wears
on special occasions is also one Of the
most precious in the world. The cross
which surmounts the crown Is composed
Of FIVE magnificent diamonds resting on
q large uncut but polished ruby. The
small crown of the czarina contains, ao-
cording to authorities. the finest stones
ever strung.
The crown Of the queen Of England,
which is valued at 81, 800, 900, contains
q great ruby, q large sapphire, 10 small
sapphires, 8 emeralds, a small rubies,
1, 800 brilliants, 1,278 rose diamonds, 4
pearl formed pearls and 900 of other
shapes. In his state Clothes including
the crown, tho sultan of Johore wears
diamonds worth $40, 900, 900. His col
lar, his epaulets, his girdle and his cuffs
sparkle with the precious stones. His
bracelets are of massive gold, and his
fingers are covered with rings which are
almost priceless. The handle and the
blade Of his sword are covered with
precious stones.
The most costly insignia Of princely
dignity, however, according to The
Jewellers Circular, are those Of the sui
tan, or maharajah, Of Baroda, in India.
The chief ornament is a necklace of five
strings containing 500 diamonds, some
of which arc as large as hazelnuts. The
upper and lower rows consist Of emer.
aids of tho same size.

THE AdVertiSer breaches bit to
Rev. Mr.. Peck. In the main the
morning paper is as true to the
scheme of glittering generalities as
was the pulpit Sunday sermon, re-
ported only in this paper. What
the Advsyhsey would like to say is
that Rev. Mr.. Peck should be shot
at sunrise, not for being wrong in
his location of the local political
pull, but for daring to make the
mistake of building such sentence
as has Mortified couple of the holy
and select hui behind the morning
paper. There being no strings on

opinion that Rev. Mr.. Peck

and perhaps unchristian

was an utterance and manner Of
utterance more strangely surprising
than some other portions of the
wide-range sermon. But there can
be no harm ultimately. In Hawaii,
as in other countries we'll regulated,
there must always obtain in the
long run political rule by the solid
business men and property holders.

ADvIcEs direct from Wall street
state the latest news is that the
Cuban crop is rapidly passing out
of sight in smoke. The insurgents,
according to reports, seem deter
mined to destroy everything. The
best information from the central
producing localities state that there
is remaining only IS per cent. of a
crop. Early in the crop year the
yield was estimated at I,Ioo, 900
tons. Later estimates reduced it to
100, 900 tons; afterwards to 500, 900
tons, and the latest dispatches to
wholesale grocers make the Cuban
crop only 800, 900 tons. In view of
the fact that the European beet
sugar outlook is poor, on all sides
there is preparation, says the trade
circular, for higher sugar prices.

prospects Of securing a goodly
number of Hawaiian Plantation
hands from agricultural districts in
Germany. Negotiations are well
under way and there is sharp de-
mand here for the labor. These
Germans added to the promised 20
per cent. of Portuguese will relieve
the pressure of field labor from

variety of toilers and the country
requires immigrants other thar

constituent parts, they exhale odors so
different, says the st. Louis Globe
