The editor of the Times-Mountaineer lias changed his brand of liquid refresh- : mcnts and the new decoction doesn't set well on his stomach. He tells ua he has been Informed by some of his farmer friends that a report is being circulated by his enemies that his paper is opposed to an epen river and in league with the Union Pacific. This report he stigma tizes as a moat malicious falsehood and calls upon any one to point out a single article ever published in his paper that had the least tendency in that direction. Then h attacks the Chkomcle with insane vindictiveness, never stopping for a moment to inquire if "his farmer friends" haH been telling him the truth. The Chhoxicle hasno controversyjwith J the Times-Mountaineer on the question of an open river. It never supposed Mr, Slit-hell was an enemy to such aschenie, y and nver said he w9 either privately to-"farmr friends" or publicly through its columns. The Times-Mountaineer has therefore got mad without any just cause. The Cbuoxiclk has watched with deep interest the course of its con temporary since its patron saint has eold himself to the Union Pacific to drive the Regulator off the river. While it has not the manliness to come out boldly and enndemn Mr. Moody it has not dared to defend him. This is a small mercy, but it is a mercy and the Chbonicle is thankful for it. It shows there is yet some latent sense of decency remaining in Mt. Michell, or, which is much more probable, a wholesome dread of public opinion. But however this may be, tbe action of Mr. Moody must be utterly without apology when John Michel! will not come to his de fense. Let the editor of the Times-Mountaineer now come out like a man and stand shoulder to shoulder with the people for the maintenance and support of the peoples' line of boats against very name however sacred and every corporate influence however powerful and the Chbosiclb will overlook a thoueand idiosyncrasies in its con temporary that are the fruit and off spring of its pait invironment. Let it remember too that the fact that the superintendent of the portage road at the Cascades may travel on a pass has nothing to do with the question of crush ing tne Regulator and that 'if the Al mighty had entered into judgment with all men who have so traveled the editor of the Times-Mountaineer would himself be now inhabiting that region where "their worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched." STILL HARPING ON TER. MY V AUG 11- Th Times-Mountaineer says : The germ of opposition which culmi nated in the ring organ being established was caused by our application of what is termed "heroic treatment", to the old mossbacks in this city because they did not place boats on the river and inaug urate manufacturing industries, and for positively declaring they wonld have nothing whatever to do with a people's transportation company. - And yet these same "old mossbacks" are the very men who own the transpor tation line and the Times-Mountaineer ' cannot count three friends in the world who ever put a dollar in it. So much for its "heroic treatment." Our con temporary talks of a "ring" and a "fac tion." It might with equal propriety talk of the Columbia river bar. The "ring" and the "faction" are the who'e people with two or three exceptions. Even the Times-Mountaineer is on the fence antinus to come in out of the wet. Its mission is ended when it cannot peak a word for his patron saint. It appears evident that the- people's line of . boats between this city and Portland is about to encounter a war of opposition from the Union Pacific com- ' panv that means, so far as the manifest intention of the company is concerned, a war of extermination. Ice company is purchasing nearly all the wheat ar riving in this market through its Moody agency, at prices that no middleman can afford to give and rather than let the Regulator get any of it the road will carry it for nothing. Now the passen ger rate has been reduced to fifty cents to Portland, and the freight rates will undoubtedly soon be cut. This will be . of great benefit to the farmers, who will reap all the profit, but it cannot last always. If the new line of boats is compelled to run at a loss who will foot the bills? If the boats are run off the river as all others hitherto have "been, who will build another line? If the peo ple's line is obliged to shut down because it cannot pay expenses what is the use of opening the Columbia river? We don't need portage . roads if the public went support them.. There is not a farmer who hauls wheat to this market who is not benefited from four to ight cents a bushel by the fact of the Regulator being in existence and yet how many of them are willing today to sacrifice a quarter of a dollar to keep her on tbe river. A gentleman of this city in no way connected with wheat baying informs us that out of twelve loads of wheat brought to Rockland last Saturday Moody got ten for the paltry consideration of half a cenl a bushel jure than Smith offered, which scarcely Amounted to an average of twenty cents it load! Is it possible that this is au in dex of the prevailing sentiment among the farmers of Klickitat ' county? Do they value twenty cents more than an open river? If the manifest intention f the Union Pacific to kill off the Regu lator should succeed what will such men think of themselves when freight rates j go hack to old prices and grain takes a corresponding tumble? It the people desire that the present low rates of freight be maintained they must support the Regulator and account every man who does not aa an enemy to the country. Baker City has voted a - school tax of S-MWO. by a majority of seventy-six out of 250 total -votes cast. The " friends of education in. that city are proud of their Tlotory. ; Portland committee of r hundred, or- ' j :,i r;K- fho Aniin Mtulilp nf ; ganizexi to purif tlie A"gfa" 8able Portland iiolitics says : "W hile the com- politics say mittee will not likely endorse all the air . liance platform the two bodies will ' heartily co-operate to purify political ; methods and elect none but honorable ', and capable men to public positions. Both will be fully prepared to do their whole duty at the next June election so . as to send a delegation to the next legis- 1 lature which will not be under the thumb of Joe Simon to do his dirty work instead of serving the public in - terest9." We hope the alliance will be as good as its word. By adopting the , policy outlined by the Farmer the alh-! ance can do more good, solid, lasting ! work in one hour than it can if it talked ; sub-treasurv and free coinage to the i crack of doom. By all means sit sauarelr on Joe Simon and all hia 8UP" porters. He and they are a standing disgrace to uregon pontics, jiui u tue alliance switches off on the third party track Joe will undoubtedly get his se in the public crib and the others will be left out in the cold. Anything to beat tne joe timon ring snouiu ut. uie cry of the next state campaign. Kobert Miller, a prominent democrat of Southern Oregon is authority for the statement that members of his party all over the state are deeply interested in the fight between Binger Hermann and Harry B. Miller, to secure the nomina tion for congress at the next republican state convention. It is hoped that the contest will Increase the chances for democratic success bv splitting the re publicans. The day that tie republi cans of the first district charge Binger Herman for Hany Miller they will make a mistake that they will regret for all time. No state ever had a more faithful representative than Binger Her mann, while Harrv Miller is the abso lute tool of the very wo;et clement iu the party to which he belongs. If the state cannot have Hermann, for the sake of all that is decent don't give us Miller. Tbe question of maintaining an open river is now being decided fn this city. If the Union Pacific should suoceed in driving the Regulator off the river there wdnld be no use for any more ' portages. The matter is in the hands of the people. They must support the peoples' boats and account every man an enemy to the country who does not. Shippers of goods from the east to The Dalles as the distributing point, ought to order all goods shipped via the Northern Pacific to Portland, thence by the D. P. & A. X. Co. The railroad rate is every whit as cheap and the river rates less. The difference in time amounts to nothing. The San Francisco Examiner reports that Jerry Simpson has got himself into trouble with hie former friends by par taking of a grand banquet with some prominent aristocratic democrats, but the East Oreqonian comes to Jerry's res cue aud claims that the host is a single tax man and therefore a fit' companion for the sockless congressman. Poor Jerry. .This is the worst charge made against him yet. BRIEF STATE NEWS. Union county reports an indebtedness of $2,046,805, and a gross taxable prop erly of 46,201,600.

An untitled field will never produce a crop. , A mine not worked will never become a source of wealth to its owners. A community that will not take advan tage of the forces that Nature has pro vided need not expect prosperity. God helps only those who help themselves. The newspapers in the first congres sional district are quarreling about Hon. Bingp ' Hermann's successor. They do well to disagree about the matter, for it will be hard to find a man to success fully fill Mr. Hermann's place in con gress. Perhaps in the disagreemet the people will. decide that Mr. H. shall suc ceed himself, and if they do no one save the politicians will be disappointed. Wuloira Chieftain.' There is not a farmer along the Col umbia river who can consistently refuse it patronize the new line of steamers running from The Dalles to Portland, even if the old line should reduce their fares way below those of the new com- any, because it tuev reduce the lares ply for ' elow living rates it will be sim the purpose of killing the uew company i in its infancy and then going back to old rates or higher.

The white population, in the meantime, be gan to organize for protection should the negroes attempt to carry out their threats. Bodies of men were stationed at different points where it was expected an attack would be made, and word was sent to outlying sections for help. There arc a large number of negroes in the mine here and the most of them are of a desperate character. Should they at tempt an attack on the town a most bloody conflict would ensue. The entire town is in arms and pickets are posted at every outskirt. A squad of men are on the way here from Ronceverte,W. Va. It is expected their presence will over awe the negroes. The, services in the churches were all suspended last night, and people thronged the streets as if in expectancy of a terrible conflict. Cooler, heads, however, believe the reports of the determination of the negroes are ex aggerated and that no outbreak will occur. The Monticello guards, it is said, will be Sent by the governor, and should trouble be prevented until their arrival it is hoped that the negroes will not dare to make any movement. The greatest danger is believed to be from fire. Should the blacks decide upon an upris ing, they wonld undoubtedly apply the torch as the speediest and most satisfac tory means of revenge. Citizens have prepared themselves for this emergency, and bodies of men are patrolling the streets where it is thought an attack against property would likely be made. The negroes are massed in large num bers in the Crown section of the town, where many are under the influence of liquor and are making boisterous demon strations. UKOWING 'IN STRENGTH. German Government Becoming Alarmed 0?or the Growth of Socialism. Bkblin, Oct. 19. The utterance of the socialist leader Bebel, "Yet another twenty years and we will be masters of Germany," is severely commented on in official circles, and there is some pros pect for Bebel's prosecution for leg majestas by putting a forced and treas onable construction on his words.
