should be manufactured at home; too
many goods purchased elsewhere which
should be bought of our own dealers.
Gov. Lord is somewhat of diplomat
himself. The other day he was asked
if there would be special session of
the legislature, and replied: "Ask me
next year, and 1 will be better able to
answer" The-governor might truth
fully have said it depended principally
upon what action the senate shall take
with reference to the seating of Mr..
Corbett, but this would not have
sounded we'll.
1t is said that foreign mortgage
companies are leaving Washington
aud coming to Oregon because of the
recent stringent laws enacted by sthe
populists in our sister state on the
north. Barring temporary and very
transitory improvement which such
investments bring, the people of Wash
ington would be gamers over those of
Oregon if every loan association in the
state would leave.
1t is useless for the Spaniards to
cashier officers who are beaten by the
Cubans. They have done this to one
officer, it is reported, but if they should
do it to all who commit the same Of
fence their armies would be without
leaders. Even .Weyler himself would
not escape expulsion. He has been de-
feated two or three times already, &C.
cording to reports, and apparently the
only way he can avoid occasional set
backs is to keep away from the insur-
gents.
The Pendleton Tribune (Rep.) says:
"a tariff on hides will improve the
value of American CATTLE" No, not
any more than it would "improve"
their eyesight or hornlength. 1t would
add to heprofits of the big meat mono
polists. That is all. But the shoe
manufacturers seem to have q stronger
"pulI" than the meat trust. The far
mer isn't considered any more than a
fence-rail would be.-Portland We'll
come.
The actions brought to COMPEL Sec
retary of state Kincald to credit bills
against the state are timely. When
the cases are passed upon by the su-
preme court it will be determined if
an extra session of the legislature is
needed. We can get along without a
United States senator. but the state
cannot we'll be run on credit for two
years. II the supreme court shall sus-
tain the secretary of state, it will be
the duty of Governor Lord to convene
the legislature for the purpose of pass
ing the general appropriation bill.
There are indications that France
and Russia are drawing apart. 1t was
inevitable that the Graeco-Turkish
conflict would create a strain on the
friendship of the powers Apparently
Russia has been unfriendly to Greece
while France is necessarily in the
opposite temper to this. Thus the
dual alliance, the unnatural league of
the republican and the Cossack, can
hardly survive this struggle, even If
both powers keep out of the conflict.
There is room for new triple alliance
in Europe, one which will comprise
France and Italy.
The Dalles, as large town as
Pendlaton, has only two policemen,
Including the marshal. on It's pay roll,
at total cost of Sl35 month for the
two. The recorder receives $50 a
month for his services. The city pays
Jim Harper s40.45 cents q month for
the streets and the electric |
light company $37 80 for lights for the
council room, etc. 1t would appear |
that government in The Dalles is ad-
with view Of keeping the
expenses within the receipts.-East !

That's right, and besides, even dur
ing these dull times it is laying up
few dollarsSeach year to apply on its
bonded debt.
The Bethlehem and Carnegie works
are "holding up' the government for
an excessive price for armor plate.
These COMPANIES until recently
charged the United States government
$500 ton for armor plate while at the
same time they sold the same product
to Russia for $249 a ton. However,
they have formed com bination with
foreign manufacturers and resolutely
refuse to make armor plate for this
or any other unless they
receive their price for it. The presi-
lent of the companies declare he will
receive no orders for less than S400 a
son. The beneticiaries of special legis-
alton appear to be especially migrate
ul to the paternal government which
s largely responsible for their auto
.ratic greatness-East Oregonian. /;
