' The city fellow delves away And all the while Keeps adding something day by day Unto his pile. He talks about the country's charm And hopes to buy himself a farm. . The farmer tills the stubborn soil, Subdues the sod, And banks in autumn for his toil A goodly wad. And when enough he's salted down He hopes to go and live in town. Washington Herald. 4.4. 4 v 4- 4 XOT A PAUT1SAX FIGHT. In their desperation the forces back of Dr. Swinburne's candidacy for may or have resorted to the perilous ex pedient of "swapping horses while in midstream." They started out by as serting that the campaign was to be waged upon a "moral issue." But the utter hypocrisy of their position was pointed out by the East Ore gonian and so another horse, Parti sanship, has been brought into use. But Partisanship is a jaded old nag. He has been ridden to death. He has been doped so much and used in so many crooked races that his reputa tion is gone and he now has neither spirit nor speed. The gas and elec tric company and the milling company back of Dr. Swinburne's candidacy can feed him and they can dope him to their hearts desire and yet they cannot win the race with such a skate. It is not his race and he won't run for the men who are now currying him. The mayorality contest is not a partisan fight and it cannot be made such. When the Swinburne backers appeal to republicans to support their candidate because he Is a republican they offer an insult to the Intelligence of the republicans of this city. Besides who are these men who have taken It upon themselves to use the name of the republican party in this matter? Why did not the Trib une disclose their names so that the nennip nf the citv mav. know who . 1 - they are and therefore know the mo tives back of their scheme? If the republicans of this city do right they will rise as one man and tell these men, if they can learn who they are, that they have used the name of the republican party in an Improper ' manner and without au thority. Honest men of all parties should resent and resent hotly thlfe attempt to drag partisan politics Into a municipal election. Especially Is this true when both mayorality can didates are running as "Independents" and not as partisan candidates and when partisan Issues have absolutely no relation whatever to the Issues In volved In the city election. THEY WONT BE DECEIVE!). In one breath the Beml-weekly pessimist. Inspired by forces that may be easily located, declares that the matter of a rival electric company and of a traction company Is not at Urue In the mayorality fight and In the very next breath It glve the ll to Its previous utterances by attack ing: the Washington-Oregon company which la aeklng entrance Into Pen dleton. If this subject Is not at Issue here why do the "attorneys" and "work era" that are promoting Swinburne's candidacy also knock thi rival elec tric company at every opportunity. Why do they lie about that company, misrepresent Its objects and by every conceivable means at their disposal seek to create a sentiment against it? The . proposition regarding a rival electrical company Is at Issue In the mayorality campaign In this way. Upon one hand Mayor Murphy stands for re-election a a, candidate who is allied with no Interests that will keep aim from doing his duty to the city. He Is froo to aid in bringing a rival eloetrie company to this, city and he litis already used his position to that end. On the other hand Mayor Murphy's opponent was brought Into the race by men who both openly and secretly have been fighting the Washington Oregon company and are doing- It yet. In league with these men In bringing Dr. Swinburne into the race and In urging his candidacy are men who represent a milling company with which this city must fight if it secures :i better water supply. It is entirely natural that the men representing the Northwestern gaa & electric company and the Byers mill ing company should deny they are In terested in the election. But it will do them no good to deny the charges. Their interest in the mayorality fight is too apparent and the work that has been done by those men and their henchmen has been too plain. People are not going to be deeeivd in this matter. KxnrAXD's cmsts. Some English history was made Tuesday when the house of lords re jected the budget for the first time In 300 years. What the full effect of that action will be the future must tell. It is anticipated though that the action will lead to Increased hos tility to the lords. It may result l:i the abolition of the lords. To a student of history it seems plain the lords have blundered. The house of lords has been tolerated in England because Its power has been nominal not real. Had the king or the house of lords really tried to govern England there would have been a inv olution years ago. Now that the lords, in spite of ad vice to the contrary from their best leaders, have rejected the budget It seems they have entered upon a course that will mean their own undoing. The bu.Iget provides for reforms for which England is now ripe and must have. These reforms are in the In terest of the common people of Eng land. They look to n more equitable, distribution of wealth. By opposing these measures the lords are trying t blxk the polit'.cpl an l economic progress of England and the con.-e- i tut.ni.fc pruivii.-x.-s to ;? .serious to the house of lords. . I A CLEAXCXT FIGHT. In the present mayorality fight this paper has taken a decided stand. Yet It has confined its utterances to the legitimate issues of the campaign. It has commented upon points that it t lieved the people of the city should be informed upon so that they may vote with proper understanding of the issues involved. The East Oregonian has refrained from scurrility and from mudslinging. True this paper called one fellow by a name that seemed to fit him and his subsequent yelpings indicate that he was correctly classi fied. It could call other people names if it desired to do so and there are many things that could be disclosed that would not be pleasing to those on the other side of the mayorality fight. But we will not do so. "We will leave the gutter and the swill barrel for those who like that sort of stuff. IIX)CK Til EI II MOVE. At Walla Walla the city council granted a franchise to the Washington Oregon company. It was a sensible thing to do for the people back of the new company are wealthy and re sponsible men and they are back of a meritorious enterprise. Eut the may or of Walla Walla, influenced, so it is charged by the forces of the North, western gas 4 electric company, ve toed the franchise and thereby drove the rival company from Its home city. Do the people of Pendleton want to risk having that performance repeated here. If they do not then they should vote against the mayorality candidate that was brought into the field and is now supported by men who are fighting this new electric company. Providence is kind to Umatilla county Just now. Those who have wheat are selling It at high prices and the amount of moisture In the ground Indicates a bumper crop for next year. Within a short time the Christmas rush will be on and the stores will be crowded, the clerks will be tired and the stock depleted, Avoid all this by doing your Christmas shopping early. Don't be deceived by the cry of a moral Issue in the mayorality cam paign. That subject was raised for campaign purposes only. The "Umatilla land fraud cases' are now a thing of the past.

Alkali Bill, the well known sheriff .of this place, has offered n purse of $250,000 for the Jeffries-Johnson f'ght. The only stipulation Is that the winner shall engage in a sjx-shooter duel with Bill before receiving his end of the purse. The idea is very popular with the elt zens here, as they are always glad to se i'n exhibition of Alkali's skill with a s'x shooter. The fight. If held shore, must he pulled off by daylight, as the spec tators would very probably amuse themselves by shooting out the KgM. should the .contest take placa in the evening. It Is conside-el unllke'y that any of them can shoot out I he sun. The fighters, referee and jnoving picture men will wear bullo'-proof coats. F.tah The North Pole A. C. which staged the susseccful battle between KM Cook and Slugger Peary, will bid 35.000 bags of gumdrops for the Jeffries-Johnson fight. There can be no Interference from the authorities although there might be some from polar bears as the contest will be on a large ice floe just outside the city limits. A snow amphitheater seating 200,000 will be built on the floe. As the convention of Cook-Peary sleuths will be held here about the time of the fight a record attendance is ex pected. Bombiloo Vnder the Impression that the loser became a boiled dinner for the spectators Chief Bangaroo has put in a bid of 1000 cocoanuts for the Jeffries-Johnson f ght. The daily "Palm Leaf's" sporting editor is afraid to enlighten the chief on the subject lest in his disappointment Bangaroo might suppress the island's only live sporting page. Old Harbor A mysterious stranger was observed hovering over this vicin ity today In a new aeroplane. He Is believed to be a Harvard spy, and in consequence football practice was conducted under a large piece of can vas, which gave the players the ap pearance of being engaged In an ob stacle race. It Is believed that the improvement Of the aeroplane will necessitate the construction of huge cellars in which teams may practice unobserved. A familiarity with rath skellers will thus be of advantage to candidates 'for the team. Wex Jones in San Francisco Examiner. IMOItXSOX'S VIEW. Bjornson, the grand old man of Norway, who, approaching his eigh tieth year, is making a gallant fight for life, gave out a noble sentiment when he said to a Paris reporter that It is every man's duty live as long as possible, since his "most useful moment may be his last." How infinitely superior such phi losophy to the cynical jest attributed to Dr. Osier, that a man should be chloroformed'at 60, or to the general impression that a man's powers and u cfu'ness decline when he is barely at middle age. The noble view of life la the ex pectation of good that may be accom plished in life. And as no man may truthfully say when his power for good Is at an end, so he Is not justi fied In wishing away his life or los ing interest In the affairs of life. BJornson's fourscore years have- been devoted to zeal for his country and active Interest in his country's welfare and the betterment of man kind. And even now, waiting for the phs!c!ans to pronounce sentence up on him, he has lost noth ng of that zeal and interest and desires to live that he may see his hopes realized and his labors crowned. This Is the sort of philosophy to supersede the so-called Oslerlsm and the theory of "make way for youth" if the sum of good in human life s to be realized. San Francisco Evatn Iner.

What happened is not positively j known, but the count was marriea to another woman shortly before the date set for his marriage to the Ap pleton girl. Therefore, Dayscy took particular delight in mailing an in vitation to the count to her marriage to the Duke McBryanne, who, Daysey Mayme says, could buy the count with one day's Income, and he can trace his ancestry back to the days when the Apostles were on earth. Indeed, It Is said that one of the McBryannes was an Apostle. Atchison Globe.
