Aloxander Dumas spoke of his own death a great many timos iu his last months. Ho had been frail for years. Ho thought that his powers wcro failing and ho often said to his best friends that "when a man comes to my age, the best thing ho can do is to hold his tongue and hiB pen." Ho used to tell over and over again Inw Guy de Maupassant had said in tho days when tho black clouds first began to ecttlo over his brain, 'I wish I were rich enough not to bo obliged to writo only one moro book, n short one, of which I should always continue to write. I should order it burned on tho day of my death." So I think tho best thing the Roseburg Review can do is to closo its booths half-bit and listen to the noise that the Floed is throwing into the people's earB in Douglas county. When the Flced is raging the Fishes swim and tho Broom cleans away the trash from his neighbor's door yard. The Roseburg Review has jumped on to the A. P. A. '8 without knowiug where they wanted to go, and mako broad as sertions and print them as the truth, when I know, for one, that it is a black premeditated lie, and has no foundation whatever, when they say that I had any thing to do with one of the candidates drawing off from the ticket for sheriff.

J. R. SOVEREIGN'S SPEECH. J. R. Soverign, dhe noted champion of the Knights of Labor, was introduced to a Rosoburg audience last night at tho court houso by J. W. Mullen of this city. Mr. Sovereign waB greeted by a tolerably full houso, which ho entertained for one hour and fifty minutes. Ho is u very good talker and understands how to keep his audience in good humor by fre quent interjection of anecdotes of a la- dicious nature, eorao npplicablo to the point and Borne not so. His speech as a hole was the samo old populietic story, scathing condemnation of the old parties, which, ho said, has been the canse of all the financial troubles now upon us, by their vicious legislation, favoring tho rich as against the poor. He gave the national banks tho nsual castigation and praised President Jack son for setting down on tho "national bank" in 1820, because he was in favor of the people and not the bankers, who, he said were fighting for its continuance. But old Hickory squelched it as did Her culese tho hydra struck off its nine heads. He gave a graphic description of the way and inanuer in which the monoy K)wcr in congress, with "damnable in tent," has manipulated tho currency, sometimes by laws and sometimes with out laws, and often timca against laws, but always in tho interest of the money power. This money power has tried two schemes, ho said, to control the money but failed because the people lose up against it, so now the money power has determined upon another plan, which is to iesue bouds for $500,000,000 to buy gold li redeem all the greenlucks, treas ury notes aud silvericertiticatcs and des troy I hem and allow the banks to fur nish their paper currency without proper security. The republicans and democrats in congress, both in the interest oi Kotbs childs of England, have been frighten ing the people with threits of Hi'h, that and the other calamity; by throwing false issues in their faces to whip them nto the support of men for congress who are 50 years behind the times for prog ress and 50 years ahead iu rascality. But, he said, we populists are not to bo scared. We will continue the fight and keep in the middle of the road. Eternal vigilanco is the price of safety" and we populists will fight to the finish, Tho old parlies ask tho people lo stand by them but we will 'stand alone. The trength of a chain, he raid, is measured by its weakest link ; co the strength of a government is measured by its weakest policy. If we do not legislate to strengthen the people's interest, the policy must finally be broken. Tho peo ple's interest, not backed by tho money power, is the weakest, and it this link is broken the government will be torn asunder. The populist if put in power will strengthen this weak point give them free and unlimited coinage of sil- er, tho panacea for all our national ills. He said the demonetization of silver 1S73 was not the causa of our financial trouble, it was the limitation of silver coinage. 1 1 is not the tariff that worries the old parties, it is the "tear off" they fear. He said if the free coinage of sil ver will drive gold out of the country, let go, wo don't own it we owe it to the Rothschilds. Sherman, Cleveland and Carlislo have agreed to pay the London money king all the gold we have, and more too. He said silver in 1S73 was worth moro than gold, and we stole the difference and gave it to gold. BICYCLE PROGRAfiriE. Grand Opening of the New Bicycle Track, flay 33rd.

Wo highly appreciate this invention to attond this convocatioi of tho literati of Oregon, and if practica ble will be on hand during its sessions A POPULIST SPEECH. Euitok Plainokaleu: Wu were up at Oakland last Friday evening to hear Honorable Mr. Vanderlmig make his pojmliat speech. Tu say he got rattled n handling the tariff question is only pulling it in a mild form; but thu worst of it was when he began to lead extracts from some of the noted statesmen, as he called them, such aa Jack bod, Jefferson and others on tho National Banks. He misquoted them, and had ho read the entire paragraph they would not have shown np so well for his side of the ques tion; as "any one knows that you can take parts of any man's writings and reading them separate can make it look as though the writer was condemning a thing, whereas if you should read bis entiro writing on the subject it will look in a very different light altogether. Then he got off on the bicycle racket with Japan, stating that they made bicy cles and brought them over here and sold them (or $12,50. Then bought sil ver bullion and took it back with them sold it in Japan for one dollar and twen- nine cents per ounco, when it only costs 5G cents here ; thereby more than doubling their money on tho bicycles. Now, I wonder if it never occurred to Mr. Vanderburg that that would he a more profitable business for him to enter .,,... in- into that is, buying silver bullion ana shipping it to Japan at those prices- than trying to beat Mr. Tongue in the congressional race, when there is no possible show for him to win. He also told the people of Oakland that congress demonetized silver in 1873 and it wasn't legal tender for more than ve dollars, but he forgot to tell tbom that was only the minor coins and that in 1S7S the standard silver dollar began to be coined and has been ever since and is legal tender for debts from one dollar up to any amount Now a word to some of the free silver men who say that gold was never above par until after 1873. Any school boy ought lo know Letter than that. Look in Barnes' history of the United States, on page 2SS and see if I am right or not. Also look on page 10S and see if it wasn't above par for a penal ot 27 years, My advice to the people is to read proper authority and only take from pub lic speakers that which corroborates said authority, tor they all mislead to some stent, uut tue popuusis can Deal uoiu the old parties combined in that respect, X. I CALAPOOIA. 'O.K." in the Review of the ISth sayi my receiving the Plai.ndealeii, the recognized A. P. A. organ, hee, is suffi cient evidence that yoar correjpondent is the cats-paw and scout for the little secret sect that pays him for his services, It is a lie out of whole cloth as O.

It has rained so much of late that even the ducks have become ashamed of the weather and crawled into the wood-shed. The white mantle of purity and coolness envelopes the lop of the Coast range on the 17th of May. A trio of Democratic candidates were in the valley last week offering to ex change ehoddy goods for free-trade. A. M. Crawford and J. H. Shupe spoke at Trowbridge hall last Tbursdy to a large audience. That what they said was appreciated was manifested by the applause they received on several occasions. Mr. Crawford savs it don't take 16 ounces of silver to make a dol lar. The A. P. A.'a have at last struct our valley, and war maybe expected to break out at any moment. We hear but little of the A. P. A.'s, but many are trying lo expose the Eecret workings of the order, who know as little of it as Thompson's calf with tho three white hind legs, at Cole's vallev. Where is Patrick Mu.phy? Has he got notoriety enough from the free ad- ertising he has received, or is he load ing up for a final effort on the eve ol election. Touch her off aisv. Pat. From the position the Review Itakes in this campaign, it is difficult to deter mine what is its politica and what ia its religion. It started out as Protestant and Democratic, but it found Protestant preachers andvocating A. P. A.ism. II it bad found Bob Ingersoll or some of his faith, the Review could have called them blasted infidek, and it would have been underno obligation to defend them. But other Protestant preachers joined the A. P. first, and this meant insult to the democratic voters. The choice ia now simmered down between Protestant ism and Catholicism and Democracy. So the Review crowd savs. let us call them religious fanatics. The old time Democratic doctrine of free trade and free paupers from Europe and more bonds is getting old and stale, and the people won't eat that any more. Let us therefore settle down to Patrick Murphy, and Democracy straight, and free whis key at the distillery. In this latter en terprise the Review people are uncon sciously stealing their own water-melons, for it is morally certain the democrats cannot elect a single candidate without the aid of A. P. A. votes. Nevertheless they met at the Land Office, and after taking a glass of ice-water they sang thusiy: Oh bring our psalm-book round For Shambrook must be downed. We'll whoop him from the ring, Our Country, ti3 of thee, Sweet land of B N A G, Of thee we sing. We'll fight the A. P. A. And all obstructions in the way, For we are bound to win, And when the way is clear And there's nothing more to fear We'll have Ben-jam-in. Not ax A. P. A. The U. S. Gov't Reports show Royal Baking Powdet siwerlor to all others. FROM AN OLD REPUBLICAN. Drain, May IS, lS'Jb". Editou Plaindealek: Iteeemsto be the fad for some people to get rattled this campaign. 1 see our old reliable friend, John Wise, has taken a tumble and has gone with outstretched arms to the sympathetic friend of the republican paity, and has laid his fevered head on Charley's cooling and sympathetic breast, and all that is necessary is for Charles to lay his cooling and healing hand on Johnny's head. You know. Johnny, faith is all that is necessary. Where will you go in Douglas county, or any other county in Oregon, to find better men than the so-called A. P. A'a. have on their ticket. I think it would be a big improvement to the demo cratic elate to get an A . P. A. order to nominate a ticket that the Review could find it in his delicate, mild, amiable and sympathetic conscience, to spend a little of his literary talent in showing the good qualities of their estimable candidates. And as for our poor little, weak-kneed Johnny, I would rather tho A. P. A. or any other P. would pull the wool over my eyes than that big hypocritical, sym pathetical bow-wow of an A. P. A. ex terminator and great republican party t Savior and Redeemer, The Review. B. Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair, Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair.
