1t Will Probably be Signed Tomorrow
Prepared to Enforce it.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The Catron
bill to prohibit prize6ghting in federal
territory will probably be sent to the
president tomorrow or the next day.
1t is considered almost certain that it
will be signed promptly, thus making
it law operative Immediately: Then
the whole government authority, judi
cal and, if necessary, military, will be
invoked to stop the prize fights.
Army officers on duty at the war de-
partment are prepared to do all in their
power to execute the provisions of the
Catron bill if called upon when the
bill becomes law. The procedure Of
setting in motion the machinery Of the
army would be for the governor of
New Mexico, or any territory which
may be the scene OF an unlawful gath
ering, to call upon the United States
marshal of the territory to act, and he
might, if he felt it necessary, call upon
the United States troops for assist
ance. The war department authori-
ties say they have an ample force in
New Mexico and adjacent to the bor-
DER to take care of any numder of
sports likely to be there to take the
chances of arrest on charges of felony
by attending the prizefght. Army Of
fcers feel confident the troops will not
be called for, believing the law will
compel the abandonment of the pro-
ject to pull the fights of in the terri
tory.

AN IMPORTANT MEASURE.

The bill which Senator Mitchell has
introduced providing for the letting of
a contract for the construction OF
boat railway around The Dalles OF
the Columbia, is of more interest to
the people of Eastern Oregon and
Washington than any measure that
has been introduced in congress since
the one providing for the canal and
locks at the Cascades. With the fate
of this bill rests the prosperity of all
the upper country. With the improve
ments at the Cascades COMPLETED and
the distractions to navigation between
The Dalles and Cello removed, the
products of the Inland Empire will
find their way to market under the
most advantageous circumstances.
The wheat of Walla Walla apd PEN
dleton instead of being taxed from six
to twelve cents freight, will be con-
veyed to Portland for from one to three
cents. Then a season OF prosperity
will spring up among the inland farm
ers such as has never before been
known.
The boat-railway scheme may not be
the most practicable method for open
ing the river; it may be less desirable
than canal and locks would be, yet it
affords method for overcoming the
obstacles, hence it is vastly better
than nothing. And since it is the
method recommended by the board OF
government engineers, perhaps bill
for any other manner of improvement
would not meet with favor in congress.
An appropriation for boat railway is
all that can be hoped for under exist
ing circumstances, therefore the people
of the upper country who want to see
the river opened will serve their in
terest best by laying aside their
and lending our representa-
tives in congress their. encouragement
to get Senator Mitchell's bill through.

A SILVER SUBSTITUTE.
Action Taken by the Senate Finance Com

Action Taken by the Senate Finance Com
mittee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The finance
committee of the senate agreed to re-
port for the tariff bill substitute pro-
viding for the free coinage of silver.
The substitute was suggested by Sena-
tor Vest and agreed to by majority OF
one, Senator Jones, of Nevada. voting
with the democrats for the substitute,
and all republicans present voting
against it. Wolcott, of Colorado, the
only republican absentee, was recorded
as voting against the substitute. Sem
ator Jones, of Arkansas, the only dem
ocrat member not present, was re-
corded as voting for it.
The substitute agreed to is in the
exact words of the silver substitute
for the bond bill which passed the
senate Saturday. 1t provides for the
free coinage Of. silver at the ratio OF l6
to /, directs the immediate coinage
itno standard dollars of the silver
seigniorage in the treasury. accumu-
lated by purchases under the Sherman
act; prohibits the issuance of National
bank notes of smaller dem onination
that $40; directs the secretary OF the
treasury to redeem greenbacks and
treasury notes in either gold or silver
exclusively, at the option OF the secre-
tary, and to reissue the green backs.
The meeting of the committee did
not last to exceed half an hour, and
was devoid of special features beyond
offering and adopting the substitute.
The republicanssbrought up the tariff
bill and expressed desire to get it out
of the committee in some shape.
When Vest proposed the silver substi-
tute it was remarked that the senate
had already been through one silver
fight this session, and the belief was
expressed that anoIher contest could
avail little or nothing. When, how
ever. the vote was taken and the re-
suit made known, the republicans
made no effort at delay.

H1LL THE LPEoPLE AoTa

In country like ours, where the
people are the source of all political
power, every ballot should be cast
with pure motive and high degree
of patriotism SO as best to promote the
common good. Such is the case gen.
orally, says the Spokane Chronicle,
but unfortunately there are some who
are working and scheming to so
use the government as to advance
their private interests without any re-
gard to the public welfare, and it
would seem that these few in the past
quarter OF q century have had nearly
everything to their liking. In the
legislation of the country the people
have been overlooked except to 80
frame the laws as to cause them to con-
tribute whatever they may have been
able to make to support the govern
ment or to foster private interests
inimical to their own.
Now it would seem that the people
whose rights have been trampled upon
and whose earnings have gone to en-
rich others, should lay aside every
party prejudice and come together in a
common cause for mutual protection
to promote the general welfare. Why
not? Why support this or that candi.
date or the other simply because he
has been named by a party con.
vention? Why vote for any man
whose election will promote private
schemes at the public expense?
Why should it be necessary in
land Of such vast productions and
so fruitful in every way for the people
to contribute nearly everything they
are able to make in order to support
and maintain the politicians and to
foster and build up private fortunes
through governmental aid?
At the coming election the people Of
this country have great, important,
and patriotic duty to perform. Will
they rise to the Importance of the oc-
casion? VIII they unite for the COM
mon good and overthrow the common
enemy, or will they scatter their forces |
and lose the battle?

TRAVELLING In TURKEY.
Some Of Its Trials Described by an Amer

Some Of Its Trials Described by an Amer
BOSTON, Feb. 4.-The following let.
ter shows what the trials of travel in
Turkey are at the present time. The
writer journeyed from Mosul to Mar
din:
"We heard rumors," says the writer,
"of the dreadful happenings in the re-
gion of Diarbekir, and Mardin. Had
we left Mosul at the time proposed we
should have entered the storm surging
about Mardin. There was some un-
easiness in Mosul, but the vail kept
things quiet. Friday, November %, l
received a telegram from Mardin to
come to Jesirir with government pro-
lection. The vail, who had been un-
willing, finally ordered two mounted
policemen to accompany me. Mon
day the road was declared uns"te and
we waited. Four attempts were made
to depart with soldiery, moving
toward Mardin, and each time at the
last minute the military commander
declined to do escort duty. On the
fifth attempt, December 10, the writer
left Mosul with column Of infantry.
He was we'll treated on the journey,
the officers offering escorts or pl otec-
tion, if necessary, the offer being for
tunately not necessary. On reaching
Jesirit, the troops were sent to Bitlis
and an escort to Diarbekir, and with
aid from Mosul home was safely
reached"

In the discussion of the affairs of Mr..
Hammond, the gentleman who under.
took to overthrow the Transvaal gov.
ernment, many of our exchanges take
the position that Mr.. Hammond was
doing the correct thing, for the reason
that he and other foreigners "were not
granted privileges enough" Mr..
Hammond and his associates if they
did not like the laws of the Transvaal
government, should have left it. They
evidently know the way out, since
they found the way in. The Beers, it
is true, captured the country from the
natives, and established a civilized
government, but that is no reason why
Mr. Hammond should undertake to
take the country away from them. He
was guilty of treason. and if his life
pays the penalty he will have no one
but himself to blame for it.

The Time Inopportune.

CoNSTANTINoPLE, Feb. At is de-
MED the porte has refused to admit q
second dispatch boat for the service of
the United States legation. The mat
ter is not settled. The porte does not
contest the right OF entry, but contends
the moment for such reinforcement is
inopportune.
1t has been much remarked in Off
cial circles that since the vigorous &C.
tion of United States Minister Terrell
in behalf of American missionaries,
he alone is mentioned in court circu-
lars as a guest at courtdinners. The
impression prevails in diplomatic cir
cles that the United States and Great
Britain may eventually unite to save
the Armenians.

May be Argued Again.

Salem Today that the branch asylum

withstandfng threatened suits. Ten
days remains in which petition for q
rehearing may be fled. There are no
grounds for doubling that the petition
will be filed. If a reherring Is denied,
TO reach the constitutional question
through injunction will be hopeless,
according to the latest opinion. How
ever, there will remain one avenue to
test the constitutionality Of the act
through the secretary of state. The
secretary can refuse to draw warrants
on the branch asylum fund, as he did
in the case of the railroad. commission.
This would force mandamus proceed
ings by the board. whereupon the con.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Portland Dispatch THINKS the
outcry against paying city engineer
a salary of s400 month is bosh. The
Dispatch certainly has peculiar idea
of what an engineers services are
really worth. One that can actually
earn more than 500 a month is a
phenomenon.
Ex-President Harrison has arrived
at very wise conclusion in declining
to again be candidate for president.
He has once had all the honors the
people can bestow upon any
man, that of being chief executive of
the greatest nation on earth, and for
man of his age to seek further bonors
would be the sheerest folly. He would
indeed be unwise to give mp the pleas

QUEER REASONING.

The Oregonian, in an editorial berat-
ing theTsenate for passing the free
coinage substitute for the bond bill,
says: "The only way to meet the treas
ury deficiency and protect the gold re-
serve, without mortgaging the prosper
ity of,the nation for the next genera.
tion by continuing the sale oflong-time
bonds, is to increase the revenues of
the government. The emergency bill
will do this for two years by horizon
tai increase of the duties on certain
manufactures and by restoration Of
certain profitable duties on raw mater
ials, -unwisely removed two years ago."
How the passage of the emergency
tariff bill can in any way protect the
treasury from the raids that are made
upon it by the holders of green backs,
ETC., who present them and demand
their redemption in gold, is beyond our
comprehension. There is no provision
in the bill passed by the house provid-
ing that customs duties shall be paid
in gold, silver, greenbacks, treasury
notes or silver certificates, and it is
quite certain that they will not be paid
in gold so long as other classes OF
money can be had. Then how can an
increase in the revenues protect the
treasury. 1t already has nearly $780,
0O0. ZOO in available cash, other than
gold, and if this amount were doubled
or quadrupled, the treasury would
have no protection from the raiders,
unless some provisions were made for |
the payment of duties. in gold. The
clamor for increased duties and
consequent alleged increase in
revenues, is nothing but subterfuge |
TO increase the profits of certain favored
classes, by making additional burdens

He Now Realizes the Danger of His Posi-
tion.
UNION, Feb. 5.-Kelsay Porter was
arraigned last night for the murder of
the Maches, and tomorrow morning
has been fixed by the court as the time
for making his plea. When the. in
dictm1nts were being read to him,
Porter was visibly affected. The over
confidence that he was justified in do
ing the killing and that he would es-
cape punishment, manifested by him
when first arrested, seems to have given
place to realization of the enormity of
his crime, and the three indictments
for murder in the first degree, returned
by the grand jury yesterday, were
hard blow to him. A brother of the
elder Mache, one of the murdered men,
is expected to arrive tomorrow from
Canada. He is prominent attorney
in the courts of the Dominion, and
comes to assist in the prosecution of
this case.

a WORLDLY PREACHER.

The Rev. Geo. R. Wallace, who,
during the two years he has filed the
position of pastor of the First Congre-
gational church at Portland, sought
to emulate DR.. Parkhurst as reformer,
has discovered that the field for labor
in that city is too limited for his efforts,
and has placed his resignation in the
hands OF the congregation. Had the
reverend doctor simply resigned, with
out parading the embarrassing con-
dition in which his flock is placed,
through the accumulation of debts
against their church property, the
simple fact of his desire to change
the field of his operations would at
tract no unusual attention. But the
doctor recites the fact that the church
is hopelessly involved and the outlook
for liquidation is by no means hatter-
ing, implying that he cannot afford to
jeopardise his reputation as the head
financier, as we'll as spiritual adviser,
of the institution by continuing at the
helm of the ship that is hopelessly
foundering in a turbulent financial
sea-.
In this the reverend doctor possibly
displays good financial ability, but, if
we are allowed to judge, it is not a
display of Christian fortitude or even
human bravery. The captain Of a
sinking snip. if made of the right kind
of mettle, is not first to desert his
perishing vessel, but stands on the
bridge until all others are rescued.
Though DIR. Wallace, evidently is not
made of that kind of stuff. He pro-
poses to extricate himself from the
wreck before the crash shall come.
However, judging from the tone of
DR.. Wallace's letter of resignation,
one whose mind is naturally worldly
inclined cannot but conclude that the
doctor is not preaching for the glory
of the meek and lowly Nazarene, but
is attracted more by the "loaves and
fishes" We cannot view him as one
who is actuated by desire to do good,
but rather as one who is preaching
for "what there is in it." If he is not
he would not desert his people in this
their hour of need, when the debts,
which he was instrumental in creating,
threaten to almost dismember their
organization. It is evident that DR..
Wallace, like too many other gentle
men of the cloth, is good pastor 80
long as there is plenty Of money In
sight, but when adversely comes, is
ready to HE away to pastures where
gold is more abundant.
