TJEE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19," 1893. A FACTOR IN CHICAGO Adroit Tactics of the Friends of Cot yicteft AnarcWsts. SECURING CANDIDATES PLEDGED. A Very Serious Danger Which now V Threatens the Republic. REPUBLICANS WILL OPPOSE IT. Organization of an Amnesty Association to Release Conricts in Illinois. Other Mews. Chicago, Aug. 18. It ia now cicarly proven that for some time there has been a dalliance between the managers of the republican campaign and the friends of Fielden, Schwab and Neebe, who are in prison at Joliet. It has been under stood that an ultimatum was given the candidate for governor to the effect that he must agree to pardon the anarchists or suffer the consequences. The tactics of the friends of the convicts is adroit. They believe that if elected the demo cratic candidate would certainly- pardon Oscar Neebe. If they can, therefore, get an agreement from the republican candidate, they will have what is termed a "sure thing."' But up to the point where information breaks off the repub Iican candidate has avoided making a promise of a ort that inigbt.be realized on after the election. The friends of the men in prison were becoming im patient and were making threats. At this juncture there is organized an amnesty association, with a prominent republican, who is Gov. Fifer's friend, at its head. It is not clear what the functions of the amnesty association are. rresnmably the association as organized will be regarded by some as a guaranty that if Gov. Fifer is again elected he will pardon one or more of the anarchists. It may be doubted whether Gov. Fifer is a party to the arrange ment. That this question of a pardon is full of worry for a governor who is a candidate for re-election is clearenough. Can the friends of Gov. Fifer hope to outbid Mr. Altgeld for the votes of the friends of Fieldcn, Schwab and Nebee? It would be a dangerous precedent to establish, and if undertaken would not only be risky for the party, but a men ace to the safety of the republic. It is evident that Gov. Fifer lias no hand in ' it, because if he desired to pardon the convicts and there were no difficulties in the way ho could do it as readily today as he could alter the votes are cast next JNovember. It would be an outrageous thing to pardon any man from prison as he result of a political deal. But if he deserves his freedom he should receive his pardon now for the sake of justice. .VISIT TO THE FAIR GROUND. A Farmer's Trust. ' New York Mail. Have the democ racy heard of the grape trust. The growers in this vicinity have a combina tion. They pool their issues. All. the grapes are handled by the trust or com pany, and an inspector first sees that "they arc marketable. They are then shipped mostly to Chicago, St. Louis, St. Paul and Cincinnati, in carload lots. Freight rates are low, being only eigh teen cents a hundred to Chicago. At the end of a stipulated period, weekly or monthly, a division is made among the farmers, according to the amount of their product, of the proceeds of the sales. A good price for Concords, which constitute the principal part of the crop : though Niagaras and Catawbas are also grown, is 2 to 24 cents a pound. All cultivation is done with horses, and it is, therefore,, no more care to cultivate a Tineyard than it is to cultivate a field of corn. Mr. McKinstry says that high cultivation in grape growing, as in everything else, pays, and extra care and attention will sometimes net seven tons to the acre. He has seen a half acre of Niagaras, with high cultivation, yield 12,227 pounds. The grapes are all packed in nine-pound boxes, and the average net price last year, which was low because it was a great fruit year, was fifteen and one-tenth cents for a nine pound basket to the grape grower in the Ubantaqua section.. List of Animal In Training for the Coming; Circuit. Learning incidentally that the stalls of the Secorid Ea8tern Oregon District Agricultural Society, in this city, held some thoroughbred stock, m tramin for the circuit, Including city view, Salem, Independence, Walla Walla, La Grande, Baker City and The Dalles, we applied to some of the boys interested in the stock for transportation to the grounds, that the outside world might learn that The Dalles not only has the biggest and finest and fattest berries, fruits and babies, the best and the most wool, wheat and salmon ; and the great' est attractions for touriets; but, farther more, this being the natural home of the horse, we have something in that respect to be proud of. It was not long until Mr. J. J. School ing, the noted horse trainer and veteri narv surgeon, drove up to the Umatilla house at a pleasant evening hour and in vited us to a seat behind ''Amanda," pretty little filly, well educated in tricks, and as handsome as one of Beauty'i lithographs. Soon we were bowling out through the East End up the terraced bluff side, and then, to the fair grounds. This was a new drive to us, and the revelation, as we ascended, would be a wonder to the ' most confirmed globe trotter. It gave us the best view of the dalles, the rapids, Dalles City and Grand Dalles, that we have yet pictured in the recepticles of a well stored mem' ory of Columbia's majestic scenes- After a spin around the matchless half mile track, which is kept in the finest condition , we stopped at the headquarters and made the acquaintance of Andy Allen, Mike Welch and Jack Parker and were next introduced to "Nehalem,' "Sierreta," "Mamie 3.," "Anieta,""Joe Wood," "Rockland Boy," "John L.,' and other noted animals owned by J. O."-Mack, Mac Inerny, Strickland Lem Wood, John Larsen, et. a)., as the court would have it, which includes the Allen boys colt "Poddy." No speeding was seen, but we learn that this stock, which has a record, will maintain it on the.circuit. A few even ings eince a spirited dash was witnessed on the track between flyers driven by M. A. Moody, Senator Hilton and Chas, Haight, time 3:10; 3:16, 3:25 won by Moody. We shall refer to this subject again, and to other stock which it is ex pected will appear when the proper time comes. It is now time to begin prepa rations tor the exhibition of October 11th which is to continue five days only. V A Break in Alabama. Goldendale Sentinel. "Something dropped in Alabama last Monday and it Lost Art Discovered. Quebec Press. One of the most won derful discoveries of recent years Is that made by a blacksmith of this city, Fer dinand Allard. It is the long lost art of hardening copper axes and other edged tools made of hardened copper. These, which are exhibited by him, rival the best steel of the present day. A piece of Allard's prepareqcopper has been tested at the government rifle ranges, A short was fired from forty yards dis tance and the bullet was shivered into a thousand fragments. Another, shot was fired and the missile striking more Bquarely, was completely flattened. This is claimed by experts to be vastly superior to anything the best steel could founder like circumstances, and the matter is to be brought" to the immedi ate notice of tho British lords of the admiralty. seems to be still falling. It was election day and a genuine revolution seems to have taken place, the new People's Party having come to the front in a most surprising way." Yes, we heard it. The "nigger," it appears, saves civilization when he votes the demo cratic ticket. Oregonian. The Birmingham Age Herald,. Alabama dem., says: "The organized democracy of Alabama takes off its hat to the black belt." What! Democratic exultation over the achieve ments of negro suffrage in one of the "blackest" states of tho south? The j democratic party has been Africanized ; it is the "nigger party" now. It was "saved" through majorities in the black belt. It has been a verv long time since anything bo significant as this elec tion in Alabama has appeared in our politics. As tho facts come out, it is a growing surprise, it is cumulative, and while it is of no great consequence whether the state shall vote for Cleve land or Harrison or Weaver in Novem ber, it is a matter of highest interest and importance to find the democratic party forced to take a position which annuls all its demagogical pretenses about the negro vote. FIENDS IN BUFFALO. PwpeitfDc&troyei and Life Sacriflcci i Jy Another Union. -. ', SWITCHMEN STRIKE IN BUFFALO. They Burn the Cars, and Throw Trains Off by Turned Switches. JEERING DEMONS AT THE WRECKS Perched Upon Cars they Smoke and Enjoy the Result of their Lawless Work. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 16. The first dispatches sent out from here yesterday legarding the devilish work of the strikers, was a tame affair. They set the fires which destroved more than 200 loaded cars, at 2 a. m. yesterday They turned the -switches which threw passenger coaches off the track at great loss of property, and the imminent peril of life; they clubbed and sandbagged nonunion men wherever found; they stole all the switch-lights on the Erie between Smith street and the Western New York and Pennsylvania target, and the switches could not be seen in the darkness. A wrrking train left- this city to bring the passengers from Erie train on the other side of the fire, and Lehigh train from Philadelphia.' The trains were both late as they reached the city, and were thrown from the rails oy tho turning of the switches. 4t 2:45 o'clock the Erie passengers were brought into the city, tired and disgusted. They were not molested by strikers, but the ladies and children were considerably frightened by the rioting and fires of the freight-cars. Lehigh Valley train ar rived at Erie station at 3 a. m . It lay at Williams street five hours. The strikers CASCADE LOCKS. How the . News of the Contract System . was ReceJvedT v" Special to THE Chbonicu.) Cascade - Locks,, Aug. "IS. The" day the news came that the cascade lock completion was to be let by contract en tire, groups of men conld be seen all over the little city discussing the situa tion and the probabilities following. A general dissatisfaction was developed, regardless of the advantages to be hoped for. The inhabitants, as yon know, as a rule, with the exception of a few old residents, are a class who are here as laborers, who are, while here, dependant on employment on the works. The prevailing opinion of the people Is that contractors will employ cheaper labor than that utilized by the government. Some think that work will not be inaug urated nnder the new regime before Christmas, and in that event the bnrg wlll.be depopals!ed"-ly those who are here now as they cannot wait on un certainties. The townsito is claimed by the railroad company, and the occu pants are lessees, paying the company $12 per annnm for building room dnring their stay. The company I understand cannot sell, as there is a cloud 'on the title. ALL ABOOT TWO WILLS A SsmeW Tarty DcreisT oT " Dr. ., Henry M, " Scndier, Jr. ' AN ALMOST FORGOTTEN CASE.

I !have lived in The Dalles for a nnmber of years, and in the past four or five years have noticed the salmon getting fewer each year, and more wheels being built each winter. I have read the laws of Oregon on taking salmon, and as it is so strict against foreigners engaged in such, why are the half dozen Chinamen a few miles above The Dalles, allowed to own and operate a fish wheel unmolested? Where are the fish commissioners' eyes? Of course Chinamen will engage In any business where there is the color of . a dollar in sight. I eay, down with the fish wheels and traps, and let the state set a fair price on the cost of building such wheels and traps, and pull them out of the river; and give the salmon a chance to increase as of old.'
