THE FAIR ENDED.
L Fine Program Last Night-Receipt
Very Satisfactory.

That Dalles people are loyal to home
talent was proven last night, when, alter
attending the fair on the two previous
evenings, being attract' 10y the singing
of Miss Bloch, the house Was equally as
we'll filed to listen to an entertainment
given by our local talent.
Messrs. Benton and Long, accompanied
by A. w. Baldwin, at the piano, opened
the evening with a cornet and clarionet
proud of having such thorough musicians
as these in their midst, for they are
capable of filling positions in any COM
pany. where large salaries might be
drawn. Instead, we are privileged to
listen to their selections frequently, for
their services are always willingly given.
The Scotch dnet by George Weigel and
Hilda Beck was particularly pleasing,
for, added to the sweetness of their
voices and their admirable manner of
acting, was the pretty Scotch costumes,
so becoming to them.
Again the audience wasdelighted with
the lantern swinging, the arrangement
of which makes very pretty effect, and
was well done.
Will Crossen then appeared in a Negro
sketch. This is the first time Will has
given turn of this description alone,
and the audience was more than pleased
with his graceful movements, which
were striking throughout the ridiculous
situations which the character required.

A letter received by Mr.. L. Heppner
from his brother, Hermann, informs
him that James Blakeney is get
ting along nicely after the serious
operation which was performed on his
leg Thursday me difficulty arose from
the fact that the fracture being obllque
allowed some muscular tissue to get be-
tWeen,the broken fragments, preventing
the bone from knitting as it should. The
bone was scraped aud r=-st when it was
bound together with wires. 1t required
two hours and a half 10 complete the
Biakeney was under the influence of

We feel it is unnecessary to add any
| thing to what has already been eaid re-
garding Hi Henry's Minstrele, which
appear at the Vogt tonight, for somehow
they speak for themselves and 80 their
reputation precedes them along their
route. Besides, If full house had not
| already been assured, the parade this
Noon would have been successful in filling
it, for such a band is rarely heard with
any travelling chow. The>appearance OF
| the company alec was highly compli-
mented by those who stood along the
line OF march, the members being very
gentlemanly acting and neatly gotten
up, which speaks well for any company
ands makes good impression on the
public.

gives very good idea of the streets ard
buildings oi Manila, as followe:
Everything is quiet with the excep-
tion of little ekIrmishing eyerv ntw
AMI then with the insurgents.
''Alnusements are many and tie town
is Evening up AMI rapidly taking On
American hustle. Many Americans are.
already in business and if America de-
cides TO keep the Islands it will only be-
ehort time until Manila will be a live
ly town. One thing, however,, will re-
quire complete revolution, and that is,
the street car system. Manila can sup
would be the first place for American
Ca pItal.
the streets are narrow, about thirty
feet wide, very irregular and are paved
mostly with crushed rock. The Escolta.
1.-The main street IN the new town, is an
exception, it is about forty feet wide and
is paved with granite cobb.e stones. Et
is on this street most of the business of
Manila is conducted. The sidewalks
are all, without exception, made of
stone, generally granite slabs about
three feet long and one foot wide. They
are on the average about three feet and
a half wide and in some places are so
narrow that one person can scarcely
walk on them.
''The buildings are almost all two
story and with few exceptions are alike.
The lower story is of stone or brick
and is ra-ely used for dwelling purposes.
The upper story is of wood and projects
eeveral feet beyond the lower wall. It
is this part of the building that is in
variably used for dwelling purposes. In
the center of the building is a large
court, usually about one hundred feet
square. In this court is a fountain, a
few i'll kept flower beds and several
palm trees. 1t is strange that such ne
opportunities for making a fine flower
garden should be overlooked. Instead
of a fine lawn and flower yard, you 6nd
only dirty, nasty quadrar gle, not fit
for dog to sleep in.
One nice thing that has t1anspired is.
the organization of the American SOL
diers' baseball league. Each regiment
furnishes one. team and the winners of a
series of games is to be presented with a
silver cup. The Oregon nine, of which
l am a member, played a game last
Monday, the score was 1S to II, in favor
of the Oregonians. We are to play the
South Dakota's Saturday. and we hope.
to meet with like success.'

Speaking OF unlimited tickets. the D..
p. & A. n. Co. certainly has a record in
this line a few davs ago a gentleman
who was making the trip up the river
presented a rounl trip ticket which had
been Issued September 23, 1891, seven
years ago. He claims it was the first
round nip ticket Issued by the line, al
thought nothing certain regarding this
fact can be determined, as the tickets
then were not numbered, but it is
thought likely, as the first through trip
was made on that date. However, it
was honored and the man found out III
this ise his ticket was unlimited.

tied as to whether Monday will be OBJ
served as holiday. 1t should be de-
cided at once by petition being circu'
lated to that effect, which would surely
be signed by every business house in the
city. The schools will close next Fri
day, when appropriate exercises will be
held in the different rooms, and opened
on Tuesday, January Sd. This will give
those pupils from the country who de-
sire to spend the holidays at home, suf-

ABOUT CIVIL SERVICE.

Democrats gre laughing in great glee over the change in the method of keeping the lists of eligibles to appointment in the classified ser vice. They state that this is another evidence of the hYprocisy of the republicans in their administering of the law, and that by this move they place themselves in line with the spells system. But the demo crats forgot that under the last ad- ministration of MT. Cleveland, and his former one, for all that, the rec ords of dismissals for no cause what ever, reached high water mark, and has since not been equalled. Civil service reform has been the rallying cry of both great political parties for some years but it is also em- phaticaliy true, that it has been more faithfully and fairly admins tered by the republicans than by the democrats. Take an example, for instance, the Government Printing Office, at Washington. The great bureau employs many hundreds of clerks, etc. and under the regime of Mir. Benedict, wto was chosen the second time because he so fairly carried out MT. Cleveland's ideas in regard to appointments, "for prefer ence," and nowhere is so disgraceful a record of dismissals without cause to be found. If the democrats did not eternally howl about republican administration of civil service, it would not be so strange, but when they see the chosen exponent of civil service reform, appoint man who was so absolutely cold blooded in his dismissals that he lost the good opinions of even his political confreres, they cannot help but won der what peculiar and strange brands of civil service reforms are to be found in the democratic party.

He Didn't Even Vote.

In one of the rural precincts, last Saturday, the story IS told, the faithful of the democratic faith as- sembled for the purpose of select ing delegates to the county conven- tion. The meeting was duly organ ized, and the selection of delegates was about to be made, when it de veloped that there were candidates for the position, who, for the puT- pose of this item, will be called Smith and Jones, each favoring a different candidate for sheriff. Smith arose in the meeting, and announced his desires very modestly, and stated that he wanted to vote for Mir. Blank for sheriff, if elected. Jones then arose and said that he also wanted to be a delegate, and, if elected, he would vote for MT. Smart for delegate, adding that if Mir. Blank was nominated he would not support him.
 The chairman immediately called Mir. Jones to order, and informed him that by hisown assertion he had not only disqualified himself from being elected as a delegate, but had also disfranchised himself from vot- ing at the primary, as only those who were willing to pledge their support to the democratic ticket were entieled to a vote. Smith was then unanimously elected.

New Text Books.

The wisdom of adopting new text books for our schools has been ques tioned by many. There is always two sides to a question, and I ven ture few thoughts for the consid- eration of all. Any one who will pick up one of the books of our fathers, many of which are carefully preserved in our garretts, and on our shelves, and lay it along side of our modern, finely bound and illus trated products of the book makers art, will readily see vast difference. The parent who would say his child was just as we'll of to study the old book, is very rare. The untrained eye would see less difference between a book published today and one published five years ago, and yet very great difference may exist.
 Education is progressive, and work on physics that dealt with electricity only as a toy or a novelty, or a geography that taught that Tucson was the capital of Arizona, or that Cuba was a part of Spain,

the United States all during the war. While our government can take no notice of all these unofficial acts, for which the German government is not responsible, the great masses Of the American people can take cognizance of 1t by refusing to buy anything of German manufacture. It is a patriotic duty which our peO- pie owe to themselves and to the country to do this, as it IS the only means at their command to resent the bitter feeling manifested to- wards them during the Spanish American war.
 The JOURNAL MINER has no special candidate for delegate to congress. It has an abiding faith in the wis dom of the Republican convention nominating the strongest and most available man. If northern Arizona had a candidate, and he were strong man for the place, one who might be considered the best for the party aad the territory, his claims would be properly urged upon the convention. To the absence ot any candidate from the northern part of the territory. we feel under no obli- gation to espouse the cause of any special candidate, further than to urge the delegates to the conven- tiou to lay aside ali personal feeling in the matter aud select the man who will serve the territory best and at the same time secure the united vote of the party in the territory. While there may be others who could do this, there is little doubt that the nomination of R. A. F. Penrose would secure such results. Mir. Penrose is an able man. He IS a populsr man. He would be in a
 position to command attention from congress from the fact that he has a
 brother in the United States senate
 besides being in close touch with many other prominent public men
 MT. Penrose has until recently re
 fused to permit the use of his name
 before the convention, but it is now stated that if it should be the wish of the Republicans of Arizona he will make the race for delegate.
