' . r - - ' . . - l jJM . - - - - - - - THE ---ALLIANCE. r" The farmers movement has Assumed so many forms since its commencement atut has so many different organizations that one can scarcely be blamed if he fails tofceep track of thern all.' It seems tVjtSHd Question however that there are alliance men and alliance men and that there .is the widest possible difference between them. While the Chronicle cannot4becoine the organ of any party it would consider itself unworthy of sup- : port if did not, on all questions that re lata Ho the best interests of the farming and laboring classes, stand shoulder to Jinnlder with them. But this by no means involves the 'adoption of every wild and visionary scheme that is now ' being advocated in their behalf. The editor ?iof the Chboxicle will heartily sympaiHize with any movement that will tend to give the classes referred to "a Just representation in the National -Cobgress-or State Legislature, but he has not. a word of sympathy for a class of so called alliance men who, while pro (essing'to denounce both of the old parties are simply playing into the hands of oiie'lwhich they have really never abandoned. The right to form a third party is unquestioned bnt one loses all respect for its advocates is, while they assert their independence of party shack- . -lea wiU with the same breath, tacitly ac knowledge themselves satisfied if the oiovetneA will result in placing one of ' the old parties in power. Weare pleased to khohowever, that this criticism docs ' not appljrto the Wasco county alliance, . a a-iotlyi whatever the objects and opinions Of private members may be. A highlyi?teemed member of a Wasco countyjalliance has placed in our, hands a cop V'f 4he constitution and by-laws ot the.T?Tfirmers' Alliance," and after a carefn perusal we are free to say that it ' is in evoryway excellent and worthy of ... oppo jHere is the simple statement -given'BsWits object: "The objects of ' the Farmers' Alliance are to unite the farmersVfo? the promotion of their in terests, socially, politically and financi .ally. To secure a jnst representation of the agricultural interests of the country in theSa(i6nal Congress and the State Legislature. To demand the prohibition of alien. rttle and land syndicates and to opptfse"firi forms-f monopoly, as be ing detrimental to the best interests of the public." In the article relating to the qualification for membership it is expresfij: populated that no person shall be adrriftfted1 who is not a farmer, farm laborer, mechanic, school teacher, coun " trvphvAn or minister of the gospel ' who doife5t believe in the existence of a supreme Ijing and is-of industrious habits. Iif&ther section provides that there sJigSglie no political or religious test fqpwnbership. Another article assertfeflyi is deemed contrary to the spirit of tUaorder for brothers to go to law Vftb "each other. Therefore it is earnestly recommended, when pecuniary ' difficuWep;i! between members, that they'BtffthrfBe matter amicably among themselves,'. or failing to do so, by aibi twtidfl.tif'; the obligation the candi tlate'spte'mnly avows that he has not joined the-aJliance from any selfish, im proper or partisan motive. Assuming thafft'Ts' rigiht to form secret societies for political object there is certainly nothing objectionable in these articles. We ar assured that the alliances banded together.jUiuier this constitution while united fipiiHtical objects, are not par tisan. itiM'isfembers do not believe in the. wisdom of the sub-treasury scheme nor gqvirtifuL-fif. warehouses nor wild in flation' 4Pler or depreciated silver cur " rency. Thpy do not believe, in a third party movement but they do believe in having 'something to say regarding the men sent to represent them in the halls of legislature. And they are right and . wheh fhe time comes to name candidates j for office no one will be better - pleased than the Chronicle, if these alliance men will demand that only clean, hon orable and upright men shall be nomi nated, men who are in touch with the tillers of the soil and who cannot be bribed or bought. This they have a right to demand and it is their duty to do so and if they are true to one another they can demand it in a way that will compel attention! CONCEALMENT. UNNECESSARY. It is no longer necessary to conceal the name of the person who, under the nom-de-plqme of "One Who Knows," re cently made two attacks upn Superin tendent Farley in the pages of the Ore gonidit. -.-The name sent to that paper was that of Turner Leavens, the son of our respected county commissioner, Dr. Leavejis of the Cascade Locks, When both these letters appeared Mr. Leavens was atT a distance in the state of "Wash ington, with a surveying party. Not till he returned last Tuesday evening did he have an opportunity of disavowing all knowledge or connection with either of the letters. Mr. Leavens denies having written the letters, denies all anthor- ship-and denies having given anvone wepuDasUm another place the re normiicinn to nsa his name in writing Prt in ral1 which Superintendent Far ther This was no surprise to an v one. v ,,i,i l.o-o u-,m-., ti, lon. witb&t' having access to information beyond the reach of anv ordinarv em- - v,w Aiet ti,n7io;va tW r.,o.- bers of the board for a moment.

The iirst estimate of cost of the canal I and locks at the Cascades was made by Major Michler in 1875 and called : for j $700,000 to complete the works. The j second estimate was made by Major J. .' M. Wilson in 187S and called for $1,753, 767. The third estimate was made by j Captain l'owell in -188:1 and called for $2,4f0,400.v . The fourth estimate was j made by Captain Powell in 1SS7 and ! called for $2,992,500. The fifth estimate i was made by Lieut. Burr in 1800 and1 called for $3,623,000. The first appro-j priation of $90,000 was made in 1876 and j the work commenced in October, 1878, J and now after nearly thirteen years have ' passed ono can scarcely hope that thir teen years "more will see it finished. This is simply an illustration of the superiority and efficiency of governmen tal methods,, and yet there are thous ands who desire to turn over to the con trol of the government our railroad steamboat and telegraph lines under the misapprehension that they would be nfanaged more efficiently and more cheaply than it is possible to do by pri vate enterprise. The fact is, the gov ernment is too slow for this fast age. The work at the locks is fine lieyond con troversy. It will be a monument to the engineering skill of Major Handbury and Lieut. Burr. The trouble is " the people want a canal, not a monument. When we start to build monument Major Handbury won't be in it. .The impression seems to be generally prevalent that this country is on the eve of very prosperous times. The stimliis that reciprocity has given to our export trade, added to the immensely increased European demand for breadstuffs, has already started a gold movement in this direction, the effects of which will soon be felt throngh all the arteries of the na tion's life. A comparison has been drawn between the present period and that immediately following specie re sumption twelve or thjrtcen years ago. After a period of liquidation, which, how . . . , i ever, W3S lar longer man 11 nas oeen now,-good crops here and poor ones in Europe sent the total of our exportatlons at that time up sharply and started 'a gold movement in thi9 direction which gave the country two or three years of increased business activity and conse quent prosperous time. AH signs indi cate that we are on the eve of another period of business extension and diver sification. The opinion of the Washington attor ney general that the reading of theBiblo in the public schools is. in direct viola tion of the state constitution may be all right from a legal standpoint, but if so, it is all the worse for the constitution. So long as the constitution of the United States remains in its present form it is very questionable if any power can ban ish the Bible from tne public schools or anywhere else so long as its use does not involve a tax upon the public funds. The Book from which the best men of the American nation, from Washington to Lincoln,- drew their inspiration, and whose moral teaching is the basis of the nation's greatness, deserves a better fate. We may not force its use upon others, To do so is un-American. It might be left to loeal option. In any case, put ting it under the ban is retrogression and not progress. . The. democrats of Massachusetts have come ont squarely in favor of an "hon est dollar." In the convention held yes terday they adopted a platform declar ing in favor of "honest nionev." Thev hold that all dollars coined by the Uni ted States should be of an equal intrin sic value, and that all piper currency issued by the government should be re deemable iu either gold or silver, at the option of the holder, and not at the dis cretion of the secretary of the treasury The platform opposes tne free and un limited coinage of silver and all "dan gerous" silver legislation enacted by the last congress. Such is the difference be tween tweedle-dum and twecdle-dee Were it not for the last - five . words it would make an: excellent republican platform. ; The East Oregonian is a firm believer in the single tax doctrine and an ardent worshiper at the-ehrine of Henry George In a late issue of that journal George's theory is expounded and indorsed in the following manner: '"Henry George ad mits frankly enough that the single tax, stripped of all extraneous mistiness and reduced to its simplest elements, is a policy of land confiscation. He holds that land is a common enjoyment of mankind, like air and water, and that rent is an iniquity. He would abolish rent by heaping all the taxation upon land and so compel its owners to pay back to the people, in form of the state, all they receive from the public in form of occopiers or exploiters of the land. That is, the state will confiscate the rent frommd. To confiscate the increment is to confiscate the thing itself,- since a thing like land has value only for the in crement it will bring to its owner. The aim of the single tax is" the distraction of private property in land." This is the single tax theory "as expounded by one of its most ardent admirers and ad vocates.

Hundred The Democrats of Massachusetts Hold a Convention and Nominate Their Governor. The Pennsylvania Joint Senate Com mittce Report Demand the Re lease of Americans. Sr. Iofis, Sept. 29. A dispatch from the City of Mexico says a revolution has been precipitated in the republic of Guatemala which will unquestionably become general. A gentleman who left the city of Guatemala, the morning of the 16th inst., and who has just reached this city on horseback from Acapulco, brings the information of the outbreak which occurred in Guatemala City on the loth inst. and wne still in progress when he left. According to his story the people in that city were celebrating the anniversnry of their national holiday. It appears that- President Barrilas had personally appointed orators for the day. To this the masses took exception and when the orators took the rostrum it was the signal for a storm of stoned which set them in flight. Exciting scenes followed and every known liberal or Barrilas partisan u as driven from the plaza. After that the musses elected their orators and most violent and in cendiary speeches followed. The news of the riot spread rapidly and soon Bar rilas threw a batallion of infantry into the large square for the purpose of dis persing the mob. ' They" went in with fixed bayonets and attempted to carry the plaza by as sault, but were met with a shower of stones and bullets from revolvers. This action of the mob put them them to flight, leaving many dead and wounded. Barrilas then ordered artillery into the plaza and infantry and two canon to guard his residence. When the guns were turned on the mob it dispersed. The people left the plaza but fought in side the streets, in fact they practically, during the night of the loth, held full control of the city, though nt intervals they were attacked by the infantry, who shot many of them. It is thought this will cause" a general revolt throughout the entire republic of Guatemala and engender war in all other Central American states. Strict censorship is maintained over all press dispatches and mail has also been trifled , with to prevent the leaking out of any informa tion concerning the actual condition of the country. Private dispatches to prominent mer chant of this" city from Newton, say fully 500 lives have been sacrificed in four days' fighting in the city of Guate mala, and that shooting is still going on. The dispatch also conveys the informa tion that Barrilas had declared himself dictator. It is stated that Col. Jobon has killed General Sauchez, and a brother of General Sanchez, on learning of his assassination, shot and killed Jobon. General Sauchez's brother, was executed. .The city is under martial law and a reign of terror prevails, the inhabitants being afraid to leave their heuses. ' The residence of President Barrilas is guarded by soldiers and the president does not stir abroad unless guarded by a large force of cavalry. THE MASSACHUSETTS OKMOCKATS. They Hold it Convention Governor. and Kani n Worcester, Mass., " Sept. 29. The democratic state convention was called to order this morning and a permanent organization was effected by electing PI A. Collins of Boston as chairman. Wil liam Eustis Kussel of Cambridge was re nominated for governor. The platform adopted renews the demand for'the re peal of the McKinley tariff law, and de clares in favor of honest money. ' It de clares that all dollars coined by the United States should be of an equal in trinsic value, and that all paper currency issued by the government should be re deemable in either gold or silver, at the petition of the holder, and not at the discretion of the secretary of the treas ury. It opposes the free and unlimited coinage of silver and all "dangerous silver legislation enacted bv the last congress. . Tiro Burned to Death. Fabgo, N, D., Sept. 28. This even ing an oil car standing on a sidetrack was set in motion by & switching train, and starting down grade, collided with the engine of an incoming train with terriffc force. .
