PRINCESS CHIMAY.

OF late one has become more or less
accustomed to seeing things in print
relative to women and her relations
with society. The writers take more
advanced ground on the subject daily.
This from as conservative a paper as
the San Francisco Call is a very plain
spoken defence of a notorious oma

those who have for the past year seen
so many newspaper bricks and dead
cats hurled at her, its says.

sinned against her more than she
sinned against it. From all that is

her many good qualities and infused
them with more than ordinary
strength. She has courage, ipedpeu-
dence, frankness and a sort OF IN
disciplined self-pride that refuses to
stoop to hypocrisy, When she took a
lover she left her husband. She did
not lie to him, nor stain his house by
an intrigue. Thus while she has de

est practices. Such cases as this lead |
people to believe there is something
wrong in the conduct of our reform
a.ory institutions. The community is
taxed to apprehend and convict crimi-
nails, yet the parties convicted too
often fail to profit by the admonition
which the state intiicts. 1t appears to
be their nature to violate the law, and
no matter how severe the punishment
they go back to life of crime 80 soon
as they turn their backs on prison
gates. 1t would seem that in such
cases courts should have more latitude
in passing sentence, and that the state
| should have authority to exercise
seryilance over discharged convicts
At least that party twice convicted
should, at the expiration of his SECOND
term, be watched by the authorities
and whenever he fails to engage ir
honest avocatiOn in reasonable
length of time, that he be sent back tt
the penitentiary without trial. Those
who will not learn by experience to b'
honest and upright forfeit ali claim
for leniency, and should not be per
mitted TO be burden upon taxpayer
through being tried over and oyer TO
| offenses.

TRAMPLING JUSTICE.

The house of representatives yes
terday violated the constitution of the
Unitod States by refusing to receive
lawfully elected representative of the
people. The personality of Roberts
and the question whether he should
have been permitted to retain his seat
do not enter into the matter. The
house has transgressed the right ofrep-
resentative government, the supreme
law of the republic.
In the same spirit of lawlessness the
speaker of the house went on to ap-
point as the committee to sit as Rob-
ert's judges nine men who had voted
against admitting him, and to appoint
as chairman OF that committee, as di-
rector of its judicial" proceedings,
Mr.. Taylor, Of Ohio, the man who
stood up in the house as Roberts ac-
cuser!
The trampling of a fundamental
principle of right, was followed by the
trampling of fundamental principle
of justice.
The crimes charged against Roberts
are abhorrent to the moral sense of
the American people. But what is
the relative Importance OF Roberts al
legged polygamous practices, his al
legged violations of the moral sensibili.
ties of civilization, in comparison with
such reckless lawlessness as this?
If in a mome-t of great national
peril the representatives of the people
were to violate fundamental principles
under stress OF dire necessity, they
might have plea in justification for
their grave offense. But what shall be
said of such disregard and disrespect
for right and justice under no greater
stress than craven panic?
A dangerous precedent has been es.
q dangerous inroad upon
the rights of an accused person has
been made. No feeling about Roberts
could obscure these facts of rapidly
growing disrespect for personal and
constitutional rights from the public

NATURAL CRIMINALS.

The arrest of Brown and Wilson and
the accounts Of their operations since
they were discharged from the peni.
tentiary last September, is another
evidence that some men who are ma
turally criminals will not learn from
experience, nor reform when given the
severest lessons. These men we're
convicted two years ago of assault with
intent to rob, or rather they plead
guiltyto the charge and we're sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary.
While in the pentitiary, by good
conduct. theyigained few credits and
were discharged from prison on Sep
tember 25th of this year, two months
short of their sentence, they having
been received at the penitentisry
on Nov. q, 1897.
While in the penitentiary they were
no doubt subjected to the customary
strict prison regulations and underwent
theIordinary punishmet but they failed
to profit by the severe lesson. Hardly
had they discarded prison clothes than
than they began practing their dis
honest deeds. They began operating
in Portland, where they continued to
rob and steal until run out of that city,
one of them with three bullet wounds
in his body. Escaping justice there,
they came to this county and their
first act was to steal two horses.
There can be no doubt but they will
be sent back to the penitentiary. this
time probably for longer terms than
at first, but it is doubtful II they will
profit by their second lesson, for when
they 90 forth again as free men it is
likely they viii continue their dishon.

All they have to do is to accumulate
the SILVER and other classes of credit
currency, present it at the treasury
and demand gold in exchange. Under
the provisions Of this proposed law
the secretary Of the treasury cannot
refuse to pay out the gold. When his
stock is exhausted he must issue
interest bearing bonds and buy more
gold. This new form of legslized
"endless chain" can be worked until
the $1,096. .0O0,0O Of silver, gold and
silver certificates, treasury notes and
green backs now in circulation are all
locked up In the treasury and bonds
representing their value are issued In
to pay for them. The result OF
the operations Of this Law can be that
the only money We will have left 10
circulation will be The gold am Jpp:ing
to some $3.50, ,e0O, 900 and .whatsysr
bank notes the national banks mayIsee
fit to issue. When this law is In full
operation and the people havel beep
ground down by the greed of bond
holders it will be nightmare hover
ing over us more hideous to contem-
plate than anything America has ever
known.

Governor Geer says Plummer Is 6
liar, a rascal and forger, but the
governor has not yet had him arrested
for criminal libel. Why don't the
governor prosecute the man who has
DETAINED him and cast such reflections
upon the state? Governor Geer owes
something more to the people of Ore
gon than tbe mere denial of Plummer's
accusations. II be does not prosecute
Plummer there are people who will
still believe Mr.. Geer guilty.
Despite the protests Of Taylor and
his hackers that they could not get
Justice before Goebel's election COM
mission, the board has certified that
Taylor was elected governor. They
probably judged the election commis-
sion by thomselyes and cried fraud be-
fore they were hurt. Our republican
friends should now be convinced that
they can get justice from democratic
election board whenever they show
that justice.is on their side.

EXPANSION is EXPENSIVE.

If those who are such radical ex-
pansionists will but stop to consider
the expenses that are attached to
carrying.the American flag into the re-
mote corners of the world, they will per-
haps be less enthusiastic about .subdu.
ing foreign races for the benefit of com.
merce, for they will soon be convinced
that the expense far exceeds the pros
pective gains. The annual report of
the secretary of the treasury furnishes
a statement that should cause them
to reflect, because it gives figures to
show what smilitarism is costing
us, and what drain it is upon the
people. To fully appreciate the cost
of carrying on the war it would pos
sibly be we'll to first consider the cost
of maintaining the army and navy for
the year ending June 30, 1898, and
then compare it with the cost of the
past year.
The treasurer's report for the year
ending June 30. 1898, shows the cost
of the war department to have been
$9I, ,992, 900 and that of the navy de-
partment S58, ,825, 1856. a total of $780,
8i5,9 1886 for the two. This it will be
remembered included portion of the
cost of the war with Spain, as war was
declared on April 20. 1898, and much
of the cost of preparation for that war
had been incurred prior to the close of
the fiscal year. The report of the
secretary of the treasury for the year
ending June 80, 1899, just submitted to
congress, shows the cost of the war
department for the year to have been
$229, ,84l ,244, and that of the navy de-
partment was s63 3,942, l04, an Increase
in the cost of the two departments of
$142, 967, 1853 over that of the previous
year This excess is the cost of ex-
pansion to the United States. A tax
of two dollars Cor every man, woman
and child in the country. After we
have subdued tho islanders with
whom we are fighting can we expect
an increase OF commerce with them
the profits of which will net US that
amount in ten years? We're the war
to end now and were we to come into
peaceable possession of the islands at
once, we could not in ten years gain
enough trade with the islands to make
US even on what we have expended on
them in the past year. But when
peace is declared the expense will not
end. An immense standing army will
be required to maintain order. This
has been found necessary in Cuba
where the people are content with the
terms we have given them, then how
much more necessary will it be to keep
an sarmy in the Philippines where
large number of the people are opposed
to American domination. Expansion
over the islands of the sea has proven
and it. will long continue to
be drain upon the taxpayers of this
nation.

GoHERNOR ,GEER DENIES.

The Union Scout publishes letter
from Governor Geer and addressed to
the editor of the paper in which the
accusation of Plummer is stoutly de-
MED. The governor explains why he
has not sooner denied the charge by
prefacing his letter thus:
"yourl urgent request. in arecent
issue Of the Scout, for word from me
regarding the alleged receipt for the
sale of an Office, under this administra-
tion, has reached me, and, coming
from my boyhood home. where my
friends are not merely limited by
political lines, has persuaded me to
change my mind and do what public
men cannot and need not often do,
take notice of columnies that few of
them ever escape"
He then goes on to brand Plummer
as rascal and the receipt which he
claims to hold as forgery. The peo-
pie of Oregon will be glad to learn
that the governor has had the man
hood to stand up and defend his char.
acter. though they can aot but censure
him for delaying the matter to this
late date, and will insist upon his
prosecuting Plummer for criminal
libel and thereby fully vindicate him
self before the world. If Plummer has
vilified the governor and thereby cast
reflection upon the state, he is guilty |
of crime for which he should suffer. |
Let the governor prosecute him in
the courts, and thus for ever silence
him., II he does not, Plummer will |
continue asserting the genulneness Of
his accusation, and the matter will |
then rest upon the veracity Of the two
men.

OUR INTERESTS ARE COMMON.

The low price OF wheat this year is
convincing evidence to farmers that
they cannot depend solely on wheat
raising and it is equally convincing to
Dalles business men and property
owners that varied resources ara need
ed to sustain the town. To the farmer
an abundant harvest of wheat and
good prices for one season means pros.
perity; it means that he can live we'll,
improve his farm and lay something
away for "a rainy day." but such years
do not come often. They are rather
the exception than the rule. Therefore
the farmer cannot depend solely on
wheat, and since the welfare of towns
depends upon the prosperity OF the
farmers, it is desirable that more
diversified farming prevail the
country over.
But to make this profitable there
must be diversified market close to
the base of supply. The products of
the garden and orchards of the poultry
yard and pig sty cannot be advantage
ously shipped long distances, hence if
diversified farming in Wasco county is
made profitable home market must
be created. There must be more peo.
pie here to consume what the farmers
raise. We're The Dalles manufactur-
ing center with a population of 10, 900,
had we fruit and vegetable cannery.
to convert the surplus output of the
orchard and garden into merchant
able commodities diversified farming
would pay. Without them there is
little encouragement for the farmer to
raise anything except what will stand
transportation a long distance.
Hence it is that the interests of the
farmers of this country are common
to those of the residents of The Dalles.
They want a direct and convenient
marketfor whatever they may produce.
We want them to have such amarket
so that they may be able to buy what
we offer them for sale. The farmers
are interested in building up The
Dslles, while The Dalles has a direcs
interest in their welfare. With such
allied interests It should not be diff
cult to induce farmers to join the busi-
ness men and property owners of the
town in creating manufacturing indus
tries that would be benefit to both.
There are plenty of farmers who have
idle capital who would invest in enter.
prises that show profit and at the same
time would enhance the value of their
property and increase their business.
If the people of The DalIes will take
the lead in the matter of building up
new industries they will receive abun-
liant aid from their neighbors in the
