CLACKAMAS COUNTY THE ENTERPRISE COKKEM'OSD EXTS SWEEP THE riEI.I). Krw Era Kt-puIilicMns In Llut An Eu thuMitMic Meeting Llglttulngr Strikes a Tree. Kw Era, May 27. Tin republican club ofthiaplai-e met at Leland'a school house last Friday evening with Enos Cahill acting aa chairman in the absence of J. 0. Foster the president, and Geo. Kandall the vice president ol the club. A goodly crowd at tended the mooting. J.T. Apperson, C. H. Dye and II. E. Cross were the speakers of the evening. They gave the populists some pretty good ideas to think upon, and we are pleased to know that some of them have - eome to real thinking. Music, both vocal and instrumental, was furnished the club by the ladies of this place. Here is the campaign call of Canby, Bar low and New Era: "What's the matter with F.li Maddock? There's nothing the matter witb Kli Maddock: he's all right! Who's all right? Kli Maddock." Assessor Bradley has been doing some assessing the last week in the neighborhood of New Era and Canby. While thunder and lightning were having their own way last Friday night lightning struck and shattered to pieces a large tree on the Frank Doughty farm. The tree was about six feet in diameter at the ground. The lightning struck it at the top, came down about half way, broke the tree ott, split the remaining half to the ground and left it burning. That is the way we repub licans are going to serve the other two po litical parties on the fourth day of June next. Hurrah forG. E. Hayes, the Webfool boy, a farmer's son, our next county judge. RETIBUCA.N9 ENTHl'SE. Uneola Republican Club Hold aGi.nd Rally Bit Attendance and Kloquent Speeches. Xixdy. May S). Your correspondent at tended the grand rally on the afternoon of the 28th at Elliott Prairie Grove held under the auspices ol the Lincole republican club of that place. (This is the joint club be tween Martpiam and Needy.) It was the grandest rally of the season, fully 400 peo ple being present, and they were very en thusiastic. II was given in honor of Hon. W. L. Toore, " the Woodhurn orator," wbo organized their club and named it in honor of tbe martyred Lincoln. Mr. Tooxe is en titled to grest honor for securing the Wood burn brass band and the speakers lor the occasion. Tbe speakers who were present were, B. F. McLoney, an attorney of Woodburn, Ed gar Grim, of Portland, and Prof. J. 8. Gra ham, present school superintendent of Ma rion county. Mr. McLoney was the first speaker intro duced for tbe occasion, and he delivered a very able address on the political issues. M r Grim was called on next and delivered an able address on the financial and pro tective policy which was highly appreciated by all who believe in a sound and safe finan cial policy and w ho believe in protection. He showed it to be a great mistake to ton) this state over to Pennoyerism and pop ulism, and would be a blight which would take twenty years for it to recover from. Mr. Graham's remarks were highly appre ciated by bis neighbors and friends, as he was once a resident of Elliott Prairie. Walter Tooze closed the exercises with an eloquent address. His appeals to all wbo are going to cast their vote on the 4th of June wss to be patriotic and vote for tbeir country and not to perpetuate the dis tress which is in our country at this time, which was brought around by tariff tinker ire. And be showed how every voter should cast his vote for Hon. Geo. C. Brow nell for state senator, as be was a man ol great ability and a great orator, and was well known outside ot the county which be represents, and tbe man wbo could do more tor bis state than any other man of the dis trict. The speaker also stated that it would be advisable to use good judgment and place the affairs of their county in the hands of Gordon E. Hayes; that he had known him from boyhood to the present time knew him to be a man of integrity and of great ability w ho would manage the affairs of tbe county in the interest of the taxpay ers; and he further stated that it requires a man who bas a knowledge of law to fill the position of county judge. Tbe voters of this section of tbe county are going to support Mr. Tooze' s views as they are convinced that the populist candi date for comity judge is wholly incompe tent, as be has said in every speech be bas made, "tbe laws of this state are so com plicated that I do not understand them." And they think he should have taken an in voice of hiinsef and ascertained hiB capacity instead of aspiring to an office that he is in capable of lilling and trying to impose iiin ignorance on the people of this county. XXX. MILWAUKEE JUSIHU8. Political Pointers The Joint Discussion Democratic Orators Disappointed. Milwaukee, May 20. Last Friday even ing Capt. C. Gantenbein addressed a meet ing of the German voters of this precinct and discussed the political issues of the day in a verv able and eloquent manner. About 100 voters of German birth or German de scent were present, and they all appeared very enthusiastic in support of the republi can principles and the nominees of the re publican ticket. They will give a good ac count of themselves on the4th of June next, Our democratic friends failed to material ize last Saturday evening when Fred Hesse and Dr. Bommers came all the way from OregonCity toaddressthem. The gentlemen left very early in the evening for borne, being sadly disappointed to find no demo crats in Milwaukee.

Cap tain F. C. Harlow lias bad to move out of the lower part or his house. He lost a line garden. Mr. Atkinson's garden is gone also. Garfield Uleanincs. GAar:i.o, May 28,-Gartleld has been favored with many populist candidate speakers the past week. As the populists are the stronger element here their vote will be strong. At their nieetina Friday evening their speakers were cheered by the artillery of the elements. Such thunder and lightnings were never heard or seen here before by tbe oldest inhabitant. Dur ing the speaking the horsesticd outside were repeatedly knocked to their knees. The lightning struck on two sides of the Irvan school house, setting the trees that were struck on tire. The only other damage done, so far as learned, was Frank Irvan's horse w hich was badly snagged and torn on the hips and back by running In contact with limbs in the pasture, and Henry Ep person's horse which was hurt by running a snug through one of it legs while running in its fright at the lightning. John Johnson was hurt quite severely while felling timber for Mrs. Krigbauru. A falling tree lodged between two saplings. He climbed up to cut it loose when tbe sap lings pressed apart with his added weight and let him fall feet first about thirty feet, and severely jarring his spine. He was confined to his bed from the effect of the tall but is better at this writing.

Tbe Garfield debating and literary so ciety bad a nice time at its last meeting Several pieces were well rendered, espe cially an essay by Mrs. Jennie Oatlield.

Hayes was visiting relatives at Pleasant Hill last week. D. C. Iler is expecting to commence work on his new house Monday. Win.

I I THOU SHALT NOT STKAU ! To Tint Kimthh: The ImliiMrlnl Herald I 01 ls,h tlant on Ita second pnifo ' ome even veresori.hort pra(!radiiitnken i Theaa verses are all khxI of coune, and true as holy writ The ttrxt one in the lint read j, Tlion ahull not kill, and did it atund 1 anywhere else we would naturally look to ' 11 lol'o ed by the morels, 1 him hlt not ; "' "llt eUl very coiiKlMcntiy omits that command. Practically endors ing as It does, thclt, rohherv and land piracy, it would tuke more cheek than even that print possesses to quote with lis en dorseiuent the eighth commandment. It bas no use lor that kind of scripture, For weeks gangs ol men. Incited by an archistic and commuuistlu leaders, have been stealing railroad and other property and converting it to their own use. And we look In vain in the Herald or any other pop ulist par to tind one word of condemna tion of this highway robbery. On the con trary we And them, one and all, in hearty sympathy with these thieves, and backing them up, as far aa they have the ability, In all their Ian less arts. The men out of em ployment have a grievance it Is declared, which fact is readily admitted. The rail roads are grasping monopolies owned by plutocrats it is further declared, and there fore dispeople with a grievance have a riijlit to steal railroad proerty, take tree rides to Washington, and be fed on the route by the people who i t glad to get rid of them at any cost short of the pillaging of their homes. This is the doctrine taught by xf ullst orators and populist prints, and prac ticed by populist tramps all over the wide country. Call them auarcbUts, oi, whul they rcallv are, teachers and practiccra of highway robbery, and they send up a howl of virtuous indignation equalled in noise and tie'cenesa only by the thunder and tierce lightnings ol heaven. Their brazen effront ery is equalled only by that of the anarch ists recently executed for tbeir crimes in France and Spain. From no party in our country do threats of violence and blood shedcomeif its peculiar views are not car ried out except from the pulil party. We never hear democrats o, republicans declar ing, if they do not win by the ballot they will resort to the torch, the ritle anil the cannon to obtain their measures. They en gage in an earnest contest, armed with bal lots on) v, and when the struggle is over the defeated party peacefully submits to the rule of the majority and continues therein until the time comes for another con test with paper ammunition. But we bear these threats of violence every day from the lips of populists, and find them on nearly every page of their publications. Such a threat was made at a meeting in one of the parks of Oregon City a few years since by a man who organized about that time a co operative concern on the Nebalem river and wound up his career there by swindling the dupes be had gathered around him. His weapon for righting all governmental wrongs was the Winchester ritle. He was a fit representative and leader in tbe party that now assumes the name ol populist. The same threat was made in the writer's bearing by a Union I-lxr man at a Fourth of July celebration in Highland some years ago. But burger Dien those elevated to high positions of trust make this same threat of a bloody revolution. It runs from govern ors down to tbe lowest Tom, Bob, and In skir on the populist ticket; and that, by the way, is about as low down as one can get in the political scale. Governor Waite threatens that if certain measures are not put in force be and those of his belief will ride in blood to their horses' bridles. Gov ernor Lewelling has made threats of a like sanguinary character. The South Carolina populist governor ditto. And it Is a nota ble fact that every populist governor, elected as such, bas managed to involve his state in riot and bloodshed, and in each instance bas had to make an ignominious back down, In tbe writer's view it is both alarming and amazing that people look lightly at this state of things. If tbey think that those wbo make tbese threats of blood and car nage are not In earnest they will wake tip to find themselves mistaken. Aa bus been previously asserted by "Henex" anarchists and conimniuuist leaders the world over are at lbs bottom or this whole thing. Destruc tion of all property rights is their sole end and aim; and this fanaticism will run its full course of wild license if not checked now by a proper use of the ballot. It can be done. Will the people do it? How can men who have homes and roierty at stake cast their lot with those who not only make I such iiirrmn uui lmenu 10 pui invir lori-atn . ! into execution? That these crHiiks and j lunatics can ever accomplish tbeir aims is j not to be believed for a moment, llut what good citizen wants to go through a scene ol rapine and pillage in order that home and property may be protected ? " To this com plexion must we come at lust" ppiilisiii once left to go unchickcd. I predicate the above assertion on the acts and declarations of populii-t lenders. To vote the populist ticket, no matter how hon estly or ignorantly it is done, is to vote m sympathy with labor rioters with men wbo murder others because they seek employ ment which they themselves will not take with men wbo throw bombs and slaughter the lawful guardians of a city with men who throw up jobs and unite with tramps and vagrants in stealing and appropriating property owned not alone by corporations but held in care of the government itself. All this is defended by populist leaders and writers everywhere and is condemned by them now here. Put your linger if you can on the populist speaker or writer who bas taken any other position than tbe one named. '"Thou shalt not steal." That is the text with which we started, and it is the text which tbe citizen despises and spits upon when he votes for populists forofllce; for populism, through its ablest writers and speakers, endorses stealing. This is plain talk but true. Let the voter ask himself if the way proposed by populist leaders is tbe way to right existing wrongs. I'opmcola.

The Times says: TheolhYeof county commissioner Is, front a lax-payer's point of view, tbe most imortaut oltlce in the county, A man who cannot make a surcessof his own private business is the one who should not be elected. It was our privilege to inspect the farm of the republi can candidate for that oltlce, and we found a model farm. Everywhere evidence of thrift and resolution is present, libs larm Implements not In nse were all carefully huused; the fences were In a lawful condl tlou. gates well bung, and throughout the whole place the business tact, thrift and In duslry of Frank Jaggar were pleasantl ap parent. That man will make an honest, careful and economical commissioner. The affair s of Clackamas county w ill be safe in his bands. Janfs Thorsi has a letter in another col umn in w hich be emphatically denies that his nsme has been withdrawn from the ticket and gives his reasons for accepting the nomination and making the canvass. As some one Is evidently attempting te place Mr. Thorne In a false light he is enti tled to such assistance as the press can ren cler In setting him right belore the voters of this county. Mr. Thorne is not surprised that populists should seek to give wide spread circulation to such a report, hoping to prollt thereby; but he does not wish to I humiliated in the eyes of his own party and the general public by allowing the Impres sion to prevail that he Is guilty ol duplicity.
