WHERE THEIR STRENGTH LIES. In our opinion the main strength and power for good of the Farmer's Alliance movement consists in their absolute Independence of the two great political parties. So long as they hold the bal ance of power they can enforce conces sions to their demands. "".When ' they become the tail of a democratic or rep ublican kite they will simply afford another example of John Jasper's well known illustration. John had seen the democrats on top and the republicans on top, but he had never seen the niggar on top. He had a dream. He thought he 'had died and was going up to heaven, when he met Senator Mahone coming down the hill. The Senator had knock ed at the door and Saint Peter from "within had asked "Who's dar." The fenator answered "William Mahone." Saint Peter asked '"Is you mounted .William, cause you cannot get in less vou's mounted." , And the Senator in despair turned away. Just then he met John Jasper and asked him where he "was going. John replied "I'se gwing to heaven." Said the Senator "You can not get in unless you're mounted. I've .just tried. But a happy thought struck the senator and he forthwith put it in execution. John got down on all fours and the Senator mounted him, and fairly cantered up the hill with the joy of thus . getting through the pearly gates. When . they came to the door the Senator rap , ped and Saint Peter again asked "whose dar?' The Senator answered "William Mahone." "Is you mounted, William" eaid Saint Peter. "I is" answered the Senator. "Well, tie your hoss to de fence an' come in." THE JURY . SYSTEM. Whatever good the jury may have effected in the past and whatever bene fits other countries may derive from it now, in the United States it is fast be coming a law word and a mockery.- So frequently have the ends of justice been defeated through venality and ignor Tanfce that the finding of a jury is no longer considered as the expression of a wise or just conclusion. As the practice ' is, in many cases, the stupidly ignorant are alone competent to serve. The man of information, of reading, the man familiar with passing events is necessar ily debarred. The fact that he knows anything shuts him out. Ignorance, .gross, stupid, stolid ignorance is the prime attribute of an American juror. What a grim satire" it is upon the jury system to have it stated that the counsel , in the Sandy Olds' case now being tried at Hillsbore; was anxious to form a jury composed of men "who had not read the Oregoniau." An inocent man, charged with serious offence, who has not money tmfficent to bribe the venal or fee a high price lawyer capable of working on the ieelingof the ignorance, had better a thousand times be tried by a second rate judge; whereas a guilty one, with suf ficent means, has only to resort to these expedients and he is free. ., THE AUTHOR OF THE "CON GEALED ELEMENT." There is one crime that the Chboxiclb in its heart of hearts, never laid to the charge of Hon. E. O. McCoy. It never accused him of writing his own defense. Such allusions as that of "spleen and venom" being "evolved" from some one's "own inner consciousness" are clearly the product of the fertile genius who is, as all the world knows, the sole and original inventor of the term "congealed element" as the beautiful and appropriate synonim of what was, up to commencement of the last decade, vulgarly called "snow." SUDDEN CONVERSION. It is a fact that was well known at the time and well attested that E. 0. McCoy busied himself going around among the members of the house, the day before the final vote was taken on the Haley bill urging the members to vote for it and the very next day, without any warning, he got up on the floor of the house, and made - an earnest speech against it. This sudden conversion, it self, is suspicious. ' ' New England hotel men do not pro propose to get "left" in the matter of ice next summer. A big supply of that in Uspensable article has already been laid in by most ot them. Eeres. albeit not religiously classified. -are very precious during the Lenten sea- Bon. . Senator Watklns Take a Hand. Thk Dalles, Or., March 21, 1891. Editor Chronicle : In an editorial in the Times-Mountaineer of Thursday, that paper commenting upon Representative Jenning's House Bill," Ho. 204, 1 believe uses this language : '. - '. We are informed that oil the last day of the session the senator from Lane asked for unanimous consent to call up bills which were low on the calendar. A senator from Wasco county whose name was not Hilton objected and this bill was killed. As I was the only senator from Wasco county, except Senator Hilton I presume this charge relates to myself. The state ments are false in every particular and the records will . so show. . The truth about the matter is just this. A day or two before the . legislature adjourned, Senator Eakin of Lane county intro duced a written resolution which was sent to the clerk's desk and read. The resolution in brief pioposed that the roll of the senate be ' called ; that as the name of each senator' was called he should have the right to select and all up any bill he saw fit and put it upon its final passage. This resolu tion, was , put to a vote of the senate and voted down by the majority. I voted against the resolution because it was not probable that those senators whose names were at the foot of the list would ever be reached and because it was unjust and unfair to them as I had reasons to know from similar experience two years ago. This resolution had no referencewhatever to any particular bill , whether high or low 6n ' the .calendar. No reference at all of any kind was made to House bill No. 204, or any other particular bill. As I am not a mind reader I had no idea then and have not the slightest idea now what , bill the senator from Lane Co., would have named on call of his name if the resolution had prevailed. Again, the senator could at any time he wished have moved to suspend the rulee and take up House bill No. 104 and as he did not do so, I think it is but fair to presume that he did not introduce the resolution for the purpose of getting up that bill. I did not oppose House bill No. 204 and would have supported the bill had it ever come up. I am ready and willing at all times to stand by the record. The charges of the Times-Mountaineer are false and I beleive maliciously and knowingly so. . Geo. Watkixs. AN OUTBROKEN MAYOK. A New Orleans Official Thinks the Lynching Affair Correct. Mayor Shakespeare of New Orleans makes no bones about his feelings in the lynching matter. He declares bluntly to a Tribune corresjjondent that Parker son and his associates did just right. He saw the citizens' call in the morning, and knew something was going to hap-1 pen. "Where were you during the riots?" "Attending to my private business." "Did you take any measures to pre vent the tragedv?" "No." "Don't you regret it?" "No, sir. 1 am an American citizen, and am not afraid of the devil. These men deserved hanging. We expected a disagreement, and nad made arrange' ments for a retrial. When I heard of the verdict, I was frozen in my seat. These men who did it were all peaceable and law-abiding. The . Italians had taken the law into their own hands, and we had to do the same. It was what they did in Italy. The Mafia got too strong for them and what happened? The sovereign took hold of it the king. Here the sovereign also took hold of it the people. I'll stand up for law-abiding Italians fast enough," added tUis outsnoken executive, "hut. thnan man out here why they hoisted the Sicilian nag above the stars and stripes and one fellow 8 tarn ped the American flag under his feet. I am an American and the foreigner who comes to our shores and abuses or repays our hospitality with base ingratitude must suffer the conse quences." A short time ago the following notice appeared in the columns of the Times Mouniaineer: ' Politics in this portion of the country will be badly mixed hereafter, as is ai- parent from the present trend of affairs. Republicans are arrayed against each other, and the bitter feeling existing will do considerable towards insuring victory for the Democratic party. Difference should be healed, and the Times- Mountaineer will take the initiative in holding out the olive ' branch towards any Republican who differ from it on local questions. Just now this republican editor, is holding out the "olive branch" to Sena tor Watklns. He is attempting to do, in the case of Senator Watkins, what he blames the Chronicle for doing in the case of McCoy and Hilton. A Missouri Poet. A Missouri poet uncorks in the fol lowing style: "Twas out in the gloam ing, way up in Wyoming, a maiden sat combing her golden hair ; when heated with roaming, all panting and foaming, there came up ana hugged her. a erizzlv bear. It didn't affright her, the bear didn't bite her; sue lay back and mur mered, 'still tighter, dear!' This broke up old Bruin, he left off his wooin', sneaked back to the mountains and hid for a year." - The salmon will have a hard time get ting above the dalles of the Columbia says the Oregonian, New wheels are being placed in position at nearly every available point on each side of the river at the cascades and the dalles, and arrangements have been made to ship two carloads of the royal fish to Eastern markets as soon as the close season is over. Unless something is done soon in the way of establishing fish hatcheries for the Columbia there will be an end to the salmon industry in a few years. Even a goose laying golden eggs could not satisfy the cupidity of man. Astor- J. M; HUNTINGTON & CO. flbstraeteps, ( Real Estate and Insurance Agents.
