BANK -WREGKING,

I. Disclosures made at the trial of ex-
Senator Quay are startling, because
they show how difficult is to ,pene-
trate the systematic and long-cont tin
ued frauds which may be perpetrated
by unscrupulous bank officials.
Judge Biddle. the trial judge in this
sensational case, stated the matter ep-
igrammatically on Wednesday. Grim
inal offenses,r said his honor, "are not
committed so as 10 be patent to any
mere passer-by. There is always con-
cealment."
Bitter experience iu this state. as
elsewheae, has proved the exceeding
diriculty Of detecting offenses against
the. banking laws when perpetrated by
cunning officials The comptroller of
the currency requires five statements
annually from national banks, and
these are:supplemented by occasional
personal EXAMINATIONS by national
bank examiners. But the territory
covered by each+examiper isextepsive,
his examinations are necessarily hur-
ried. and experience has shown that
banks may be plundered in spite of
these imperfect safeguards. =
After 1.-the best guarantee of con-
scientious banking is had in the char
acter of the officials of bank. An.up-
right banker needs no watching. A
trickey banker will evade the laws,
and may wreck a bank in spite of the
imperfect watch which the govern
ment puts upon him.-Spokesman. Re-
view,

CITY OWNERSHIP OF LIGHTS.

A strong effort is being made IN New
York, San. Francisco and numerous.
other large cities throughout the
country toward having the municipality
assume control of. supplying. light
within its borders. Those:cities that
own their light plants have found the
plan paying and saving one, and it
is not unlikely that in. time all cities
thus proving a scccess in other places.
Tacoma furnishes street lights and
also supplies light to private, con-
sumers in the same manner that The
Dalles furnishes water to people, and 1

less than that: charged by, private.

the business. Even at this. reduction
the plant is said to be operated alta
profit, and will ere long pay for isself.
The tendency of the times is. toward
public ownership of water. lights and
even transportation facilities, and it
is question%ithatE will some stime be
brought before the people of this place.
Ownership of the water plant of The
Dalles is proving successful, andsas isH
beyond question: that the water sys-I

into considerations for it, is not de-

for future generations to. pay, nor is
it likely that the people would consent
to very great addition to their taxes
in order to secure lights. Yet every-'|
body wants the town lighted. and /
since it appears unlikely that an I
agreement will be reached whereby
lights can be bought, the next ques- 1
tion to be. considered is for the-city to !

for the city to put IN a plant of its own

A number of influential republican
papers that evidently fear Carter Har
rison, of Chicago, may be the demo-
cratic nominee in 1900, are trying to
work up prejudice against him among
the advocates of silver in the demo:
cratic party-those who supported
Bryan in l896-by asserting that he is
gold democrat. machine politician
and under the thumb of Crocker, the
Tammany boss. There is no founda-
tion for their assertions. Harrison
supported Bryan in 1896, and no ex-
preston of his since would justify the
belief that he has rejected any plank
in the Chicago platform. The fact
that Harrison has given the great city,
of Chicago the best administration it
has ever had, and that he has COM

WE NEED FACTORIES.

At this season of the year DaIles
merchants complain of dull trade, and
under present conditions it is to be
expected. for during the months of
March and April farmers are busy
with their seeding, hence do not come
to towh, there is little travel throug b
the place and as there is but small
amount of produce marketed in those
months, trade in stores is confined
principally to the town.
This slack businessfor few months
each year will. prevail until such a
time as employment can be given to
more people through industries that
will employ large number of hands
and create a monthly payroll. Had
we some Industries that would en-
ploy from 200 to 300 hands and pay out
from 1000 to 5000 as wages monthly
.ite would greatly stimulate general
business. as the greater portion: of the
wages earned would be spent In the
stores or with the farmers for supplies.
With such an amount expended every
month in the town. in addition TO The
ordinary trade, our merchants would
never have occasion to complain of
slack trade during the dull months.
They would be doing business right,
along, regardless of seasons, and gen
eral prosperity would prevail. The

CONDITIONS HAyE CHANGED

On Monday Governor Geer was
asked. BY the New York Tribune how
call for more volunteers to go to the
Philippines would be responded to in
Oregon, and made this reply:
''You ask my opinion as to how
call for more volunteers for service in
the Philippines would be answered.
l have no means Of Knowing, save by
the general knowledge that when the
first call was made last year, the only
disappointment shown anywhere was;
by those who tried to enlist and were
rejected. and that if the desire TO en-
list then was based on unselfish
patriotism land there can be no doubt
OF this in the event of call for more
volunteers to- hold :;theo: fruits. of the
Spanish war and to give Dewey's .vicE
tory permanent place in history.

OUR PUFFED UP GoHERNoR

A few days since Governor Geer
received the following telegram from
the Chicago Tribune:
"The governors of South Dakota
and Nebraska are demanding the re-
call of the volunteers from their states
from the Philippines, on the ground
that their term of enlistment expired
when the ratifcations of the peace
treaty were exchanged, and that the
present conflict in the Philippines is
in opposition to liberty and in the in
terest of capitalism. Do the people of
your state demand the return of your
volunteers for the same reasons?'
On receipt of this inquiry the gov
ernor swelled up a little and without
consulting the people of the state at
large, telegraphed reply in which he
said among other things:
sour people take no stock in the
declaration that the conflict in the
Philippines is 'waged in opposition to
liberty and in the interest of capital
ism.' The very men who make this
charge now are the ones who. little
more than q year ago, were loudly
accusing President Mckinley of COW
ardice' and of delaying the war with
Spain in the interest of capitalism
as represented by Spanish bondhold-
ers."
"The charge that the American flag
is waving over a conflict ia the Philip |
pines fn opposition to liberty and in |
the interest of capitalism savors very
much of spirit of demagogy to which
the people OF Oregon are hsbitual
strangers, and which finds DO lodg.

WoR1HYa OF CONSIDERATION

In another column is published a
letter asking what can be done toicre-
ate market for fruit, and suggesting
g.. meeting Of the fruit raisers snd
merchants of The Dalles to devise
some plan whereby the fruit raised in
this ssection can be marketed at a
price that will leave profit roThe
grower. This is certainlya matter of
no small Importance, since fruit grow
ing is every year becoming an indus
try of greater magnitude. But it
does not seem that there should be
any serious question as to how it
should be disposed Of. The fact that
on the shelves of our grocery stores
are to be found immense quantities of
California and New York canned and
preserved fruits should solve the ques-
tion, and make it clear that can nery
is the proper means of disposing of
the surplus fruit. -.
To depeud upon shipping fruit green
has proven both unsatisfactory and un-
profitable to the fruit grower. Since
there is not possibility of fruit buy
ers coming here evey season and buy
ing direct from the raiser, the pro-
ducer generally has to take all chances
of shipping, and also on the market
when his fruit reaches its destination.
Even though the market is sufficiently
stable to justify the grower in ship
ping, it is only the best quality thst
will do to send out green, hence a
large amount of fruit is always left on
the growers hands. Were there a
cannery here all fruit could be worked
up into a merchantable article, and
none would go to waste.
Parties who are informed on the
matter say that fruit canning plant
can be erected for $1,000. If this is
true, capital of $4,000 would be suf-
ficient TO put up the plant and operate
it until enough of the output could be
put on the market to pay running ex-
psnses. If by ap investment of $40, 600
The Dalles can start such industry as
will make a market for all the fruit
raised in the country, both good and
bad, and at the same time supply the
lacal market with canned fruits, thus
retaining money at home that now
goes abroad, it will certainly be good
Investment.

rHlRrY-FIvE THOUSAND MEN.
Otis Forces VIII Be Increased to This
Figaro as Fast as Possible.

Otis Forces will Be Increased to This
Figaro rs Fast rs Possible.
NEW YORK, April 20.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
With the regulars already ordered and
on the way to Manila, General Otis
will have an effective force of 2l .27S
men, In addition to the recruits being
sent every few days forthe regulars
already in the Philippines. This force
is to pc raised to 5000 men by the
time aggressive operations can be
pressed In the early autumn.
The volunteers to be returned to
this country from Manila number
barely 1900, many of whom are great
ly debilitated, so the determination to
send $4,000 ablebodied soldiers to take
their place is calculated to show the
rebel leaders the United States is ter
ribly in earnest about meeting It's re-
sponsibilities for preserving order and
commanding respecs throughout the
archipelago.
1t is announced that the army in the
Philippines will be increased to $4,000
men, whether the rebels abandon the
field or not. II Aguinsldo gives up
his hopeless fight as result Of the
negotiations between his followers and
the presidents commissioners, $4,000
are deemed the right number to gar.
rison the forts in The outlying islands
and establish lawful government ind
them. II the insurrection continues
in Luzon at least 10000 American
troops, it is estimated by the authori.
ties. will be required there for the
that will be undertaken, the
5000 going to garrison the
,hief places thatshave been opened to
oreigp trade. /:
