Just now he is claiming—and perhaps honestly be- lieves—that he was defeated on the Sth by fraudulent votes. Such a man with such an excuse, may we! be ex pected to overturn the very founda tions of civil government rather than relinquish office. There is already evidence that Peabody will use his dangerous pow- er. Besldes giving notice that he will contest the election, he has issue»i or ders to the militia commanders of the state to be ready for active service and has called to his side General Sherman Bell, who had charge of the recent deportation from Cripple Creek It will be within the gover- nor's power to imprison, deport or kill all «ho do not favor his conten- tions. this flimsy ex»,iee «« an answsr t«i the shrill volcat of his Inner self, The church lays down no rules of life which are out of harmony with hon- est business conduct; It lays no bar- Tier In the way of refined social as piration. it Is an Incentive to a higher thought and nobler purpose than can be actuated by any secular or mater ial Ideal, because it deals with the spiritual. that mystic. enchanting subject which lias been the theme anti dream of the thinker in every age.

Senator Mitchell sent word that if any one in Umatilla county wished to see him before his depart ure for Washington, they would tind him at his Portland office. This is a sample of the interest taken in pub lic questions that concern this sec tion of Oregon, by these gentlemen. The Commercial Association of Pen dleton and the Columbia River Basin Irrigation association, two of the rep resentative bodies of business men of this county invited the members of the Oregon delegation in congress to meet the people here in a conference on Irrigation, before they left for the east. Instead of granting this simple request, and coming as servants of the people. Senator Mitchell totally ignored the county and Senator Ful ton and Congressman Williamson de clined to meet the people in a public conference, but found time between trains to consult the party bosses, as they went east. If there was to be a senatorial election at Salem this winter these gentlemen would have fallen over each other in their haste to ascertain Umatilla county’s wishes. The people will be compelled to work out their own public questions. The momentous question of political ap pointment takes up all the time of the members of congress. mi » NOltriiW •»•>'!• XI MN la only JU days rlils Is I lie time w hen you w ill hr Ing for something lelntlve or friend. our stock of jewelry watches is larger and more < om plete than previous years. is under arrest at wllli beating W.
