OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 1893.
SHEEP CONVENTION
(Continued from First page.)
ticular interests, and actinjf on the sug
Edition, have orcanised the different
branches of agricultural occupations in'
to representative bodies of their own
line of industry, until there have come
into existence such societies as the
Grange, the Farmers' Alliance and such
associations as the fruitgrowers, the
cattle-raisers and woolgrowers. The ex
istence of these organisations indicates
that the agricultural classes have found
out the need of co-operation and united
action to promote and protect their in
te rests.
"I am glad to extend a welcome not
only to the people of try own state, but
to those from other states, who have
honored us with tneir presence, and who,
I trust, may form many pleasant ac
quaintances and derive much mutual
benefit from the interchange of thought
and of opinion.
"We have a splendid state, abounding
in natural resources and awaiting a
fuller development. The adjoining
states are affected by similar conditions,
and together they comprise a vast area
of territory and possess a variety and
wealth of natural resources which are
destined in the progress of events to
make it constitute one of the fairest and
richest portions of the country.
J CONSERVATIVE VIEW.
Impressed by Senator McBride on the
Cuban Question.
On February 18th the senate had
under confederation the question of
Cuban beiligrancy and the Maine dis
aster, pending which Senator McBride
aid in part:
"I prefer not to discuss the question
of intervention at this time when we are
overcome with horror at the loss of the
lives of our brave sailors in Havana
harbor. The question of intervention
should be calmly and deliberately dis
cussed, with a full sense of our responsi
bility as a great nation, to the good
opinion of the civilized world. When it
ahall. be clearly established that the
system of autonomy proposed by Spain
lor Cuba is a failure, aud when it shall
appear that the conflict in Cuba, with all
its horrible incidents of suffering and
starvation, cannot be terminated with'
oat the intervention of the United States,
we shall be justified in taking such
action in accordance with international
law, and in the interest of humanity, as
will bring about a cessation of hostilities
between Spain and the Cuban insurgents
and restore peace to the island."

There is morn Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put.
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
rfuany years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by costantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to a constitu
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cote, manufactured by F. J. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti
tutional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonf ul. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials. Address,

Last Thursday evening the work ot the
German M. E. Ministerial Association,
of the Portland district, which has been
in session in Milwaukie for three days,
came to a close with an impressive mem
orial service br Rev. C. 1 loft man, the
minister from Dayton, who died while at
the dinner table of his friend Mr. P, J.
Ilenneman. Rey- J. C. Jahn delivered
an address of eulogy on the deceased, his
remarks having peculiar import from the
long militay service the two men had
known together, and a full program was
carried out in honor of the departed.
An excellent attendance at the meet-
inn has demonstrated the enthusiasm
of the Herman ministers in their work.
The topics . discussed covered a wide
range pertaining to the christain work
After each paper, there was a general
discussion of the subject that elicited
much interest and was al times as pro
ductive of good ideas as the papers them
selves. It was decided that the conven
tion of Portland district should be called
annually and from the present feeling;
the succeeding meeting will doubtless be
superior to the one closed. The subjects
discussed since the convention met, and
those assigned to handle them, were
"What U Necessary for the Unity ot
Believers?" Rev. J. W. Beckley
The Perfect Man in Christ," Rev.
Tragho; "How Can We Be More Suc

Ashland, Feb. 20. What is the mat
ter with the people's party? Where are
we at ? What is the people's party going
to do at our next election? Will it re
main populist and put into the field a
people's party ticket, or will it fuse with
the democratic party or some other polit
ical faction, and help to put into the
fled a mongrel ticket? These are some
ot the questions that have been repeat
edly asked since our last national cam
paign oy every man and woman who
takes an interest in the politics of our
country.
Well, what was the matter with the
people's party previous to our last nation
al convention? Every man and woman
loyal to the principles of our party were
giving their time and money for the up
building of our cause, and our party was
rapidly growing in numbers and promi
nence. In our ranks was harmony, and
a united effort was being made to build
up the party that was finally to put into
effect the grand principles so clearly en
unciated in the platform upon which our
party was built. Such was the case, and
that is what was the matter with our
party belore the disgraceful deal in St.
Louis in 1396. But how has it been since?
Discord and confusion have prevailed in
the councils of our party, and the work
ers have ceased to go forth among their
neighbors with the gospel of truth that
exposes the dark political methods that
have brought our country to the verge
of national ruin.
Can there be any other cause for this
unfortunate condition of our party than
the action of our national convention in
1896, and the subsequent bad faith on
the part of our political ally, the demo-1
cratic machine? Is it not a fact that
Mr. Bryan was nominated by the St.
Louis convention under the premise and
with the distinct understanding that the
democratic candidate for the vice-
presidency Mr. Sewall would be with-'
drawn and his place given to a people's
party candidate? Was this pledge kept?
powerful organisation of ours baa cost
us too much time and unselfish labor to
disgrace it by fusion with our political
enemies, with the hope of getting a di
vision of the loaves and fishes. Our
party was brought Into existance for a
higher and nobler purpose. It must not,
It cannot be be prostituted to the level
of boodle politics. Such action, If per
sisted In, will and should destroy the
party, but such will not be the case; the
patriotic men and women who have built
up the party say : "No; we will have no
more lusion deals or political prostitu
tion." That there are honest populists who
are advocating fusion no one doubts, and
to all such we would say, think carefully
of what you are doing you are surely
tearing down the house of reform that
has cost so much toil and patience to
build; you should remember that in
the East and South our brothors are
fighting, as only heroes can fight, for a
noble cause, to stamp lusion out of our
party and save its existance, and they
will succeed, for they are right,
The action of the national organixa'
tion committee in referring questions of
party policy to the voters of our party
will smoke some of our party ollU ials
out oi tneir lusion dens and put our
party in working order again, and we
will come out of this fusion ordeal puri
fied and stronger than ever before.

When "Secret Service" was first pro

the first week or two included a large
nnmberof telegraph operators, attracted
by the vivid description given of the
tceue in which Gillette sends the mes
sage and is shot through the hand. In

Slightly, so far as the knights of the
key were concerned, when it was found
that the telegraphing, while it sounded
very real to the uninitiated, was nothing
bnt a suooession of meaningless olicks.
Why it was expected that there should
be real telegraphing any mors than
there should be real killing on the stage
was explained by an old operator re
cently. "There lingers in the mind of
all the older men in the business, " said
be, "the memory of the telegraphing
scene In Oliver Dond Byron's play,
'Across the Continent,' in which a gen
uine operator was substituted for the
aotor lotig enongb to tick ont a welcome
to any member of the profession who
might be in the audience. It was at

its action and truly beneficial in its
effects, prepared only from tho most
healthy ana agrocnblosubHtanecn, its
many exoollent qualities commend it
to all and have made it tho moet
popular remedy known.
Syrup of Figs is for salo in 60

may not have it on hand will pro

state, where the populist, have fused , Jn't 7Sad T tb nnVnTmTty or
wun meoemocrais wr local omces7 in the answer from tbe gallery, orchestra
seven or eigiit ainerent counties lusion and lobby. Of course tbe talk between
has been entered into by populists and ; the stage and tbe house was not con
democrats, and in every instance, except
one, democrats and republicans have
been elected to the offices, and the pop
ulists have been allowed to stay at home
and enjoy the wholesome experience of
their folly. And now, in the face of
tnese and other ridiculous
same democratic machine is besieging
our party for another unholy alliance.
That there are many conscientious
men in the democratic party no sane
man will doubt. So there are in the re
publican party, Dut they have not the
strength to overcome the party machines
which control their parties. Therefore,
they must remain powerlets until they
sever their connection with those patties
nd give their aid to a party that is
struggling for the rights of all mankind.
But aside from the above considera
tions, I would in all candor ask those ot
my brethren who favor a fusion deal,
how are you going before the people in
support of a fusion ticket? If you area
populist, you must and will advocate
people's party principles, and at the
eime time, will yon ask tbe people to
supports ticket with candidates on it
horn we all know belong to parties
that are radically opposed to principles
that you advocate? Can an intelligent
people form any other conclusion than
that tho whole effort issimply a scramble
for office regardless of any patriotic
principles whatever? There may be
conscientious populists who can enter
into such work, but I cannot.
There certainly can be but few intelli'
gent people in this country who do not
know that the policies and practices of
the republican and democratic parties
are shaped and directed by the great
machines that control them, and, fur
ther, that, as a rule, with few exceptions,
au wno are elected to office while be
longing to either of these parties must
and will yield to the dictates of these
machines while in office. The rank and
file of these parties are not consulted in
these matters. Then, is it not folly to
suppose that those who retain their
allegiance to either of these old parties
can or will eyer give their happy support
to the enactment of laws that will give
ns direct . legislation, tbe imperative
mandate, or any other reform for which
we are contending? Certainly not!
Then let us not be so silly as to play the
part ot the fly in the fable, that walked
into tbe parlor of entangling webs. This
fined to this salutation. It was on all
sorts of topics, nsnally in the form of
an Interrogation, with a request for a
simultaneous answer. The story baa
been told to tbe younger men, and
whenever a play is produced in which
s telegraph key figures tbey like to see
tacts, this if tbe experience will be repeated. "
