The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
A . BREAK IN THE ALLIANCE.
' The alliance is 119 fairly eplit wide
open in Oregon as it is elsew here.- Here
aa elsewhere we have two parties each
claiming to be the only true Simon pure,
alliance article, with two papers or sets
of papers, each claiming to be the only
true exponent of sound-alliance doctrine
and condemning all else TjpsideB. On
the one side there is that prince of
cranks and . ex-preacher, ex-echool
.teacher, ex-teiTance lecturer, ex-agitator,'
nd ex -professor, Kork and his
organ the NorthurM Iteform Journal
which advocates every form of.lunancy
known to modern -rankdom, while on
the bther-we have a class represented in
. tome measure at leat by the Alliance
. tanner .whose editor denounces-' the
teaching of the Journal and asserts that
no alliance or people's party convention
in theUnited-States ever endorsed or
countenanced what it calls the "fiat
money craze."; It further asserts that the
financial scheme advocated by the Je
fonit Journal is "so absurd aiitl ridicu
lous as to disgrace little children' and
could never be seriously . considered by
grown up men oufside of a lunatic
asylum." "For," f-ays the Farmer "if
tlfe goverumet can create three billion
dollars to purchase the railroads of the
, county,' without creating adebt.it can
go en creating more ' money to operate
the railroads, for all future .time without1
collecting any charges for freight or pas-;
sengers ; and can also create other- mil
lipns, billions trillions of dollars to ad
minister the government for all future
time without collecting any Jaxes, to
say nothing of the grand works of im
proving the rivers antl harbors, build
ing lighthouses, public buildings, eta.
This fiat, money craze is anarchy,
nothing more or less; and if by any
possibility or accident a congress could
would be the destruction for the time
tiugof all confidence among business
men,. which would resultin a civil revo
lutiui and armed force which would
oventiuow 6uch a congress, in .sixtv
daye," V
Thw is prettv much thelizht in which
the -Curoniclk views this fiat money
craze but in view of this controversy be
tween the representative organs of .the
Oregon all1a'ncea we should like very
much to know what is the teaching of
-the farmers' alliance any way?
NOT A I'AIiTY ISSUE.
The more one reads-and thinks says
an exchange regarding the silver .ques
tion, the more he becomes convinced
that it will hardly become a party issue
or one on which either of the great
parties can unite. Both parties -of the
west are anxious for free coinage, -and
really think it preferable even .to the
silver law aa passed by last congress,
Vhile in tho east there is a strong senti
ment against free coinage, and in some
localities to both.
To sum it up, no party can declare in
favor of absolute free coinage, or the op
posite, and expectvthe plank to suit the
entire country, so far as that particular
party is concerned. It stands the same
with one as the other, and as "winning"
is in the minds of all, and stands para
mount to everything else, the silver
question will be passed over "like a
white check." The principal bone of
contention will be the tariff, the same as
last 'presidential canvass. AVith Cleve
land on one side and Blaine on the
other, as it bide fair to be, it will- be a
hard fought tattle, particularly with the
tariff and reciprocity questions in the
van. -
The wrecking of the southern alliance
is just as certain as its serious prosecu
tion of the plan entered upon at the In-,
diauiipolts uieetinic. The wrecking will
be exactly to the degree that it presses
the third-party movement in the south.
Sioux City J oantal. :
Ex-Senator Van Wyck says that the
farmers alliance is not dead by any
means. If so, it must have been rub
bing up against some undertaker, and
becoming- unpleasantly perfumed. It
smell deader than a back-number
mackerel. J'hiladrlphia Timet.

' a Equal to the Occasion. -
Professor Green, of Brown University
was one of the best teachers in New
England, but he sometimes became so
much interested in his.lecture that when
the noon bell rang he kept the class five
or ten minutes over the hour."
Certain restless spirits in the class
thought they would give the Professor a
gentle, hint, so they bought a small
alarm-clock, set it to go off precisely at
noon, and placed in on the Professor's
desk when they came in to the next lec
ture. They knew he was a little absent
mind ed, and expected that he would not
notice it. . . r '
As the noon hour struck, the alarm
went off with a rattling crash, and those
of the class rot in the secret started, and
took in the joke at once. There was a
round of applause.
The Professor waited until the alarm
and the applause were over, and" then
said, deliberately:
' "Young gentlemen, I thank you for
this little gift. I had forgotten that it
was my birthday. A clock is something
my wife has also needed in the kitchen
for some time. It is a very kind remem
brance on youV part."-
The Professor then went en to finish a
demonstration interrupted by the-alarm,
and it was ten minutes later than usual
when he dismissed the class 1 He also
took the clock home with him, and the
boys never knew whether he understood
the hint or not; but the probability is
that he did. Youth's Companion.
Live Issue.
Artemu's Ward told in one of his
papers of an enthusiastic orator who
wished to take advantage of the gather
ing of a crowd at a hanging, tcr address
the assembly on the subject of the tariff
"if our unfortnit feller-citizen is not ifi a
hurry." 'A .somewhat similar story
comes from Kansas, where the Farmers'
Alliance and its. platform of principles
are the 'chief topic of conversation.
A man ot rather questionable charac
ter died in a remote part of Waterloo
township. The nearest preacher wae
summoned to preach a funeral sermon.
Not knowing the man, the preacher con
tented himself by a few general remarks
on the solemn nature of the occasion,
and then said he would be glad to have
any of the company present say a word
about the dead man if they desired.
No one moved or spoke,- and again the
preacher extended an invitation to the
company to offer remarks, but again ia
invitation met with filence.
Finally an old farmer who sat in, the
corner of the front room rose and said :
"If ro one has anv remarks to make
srtout the deceased t would like to make
a few remarks abont' the sub-treasury."
Youth's Companion,
Flour for the Starving: Knssians '
Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 4. The
millers propose sending a shipload of
4000 barrels of flour to the starving peas
ants of Russia. Five thousand millers
will !be asked to co-operate. . The Rus
sian minister at Washington has . been
communicated with, and in his absence
the charge d'affairs. at New York tele
graphs that he has laid the matter be
fore his country. The railroads are
willing to give transportation and the
deal will be closed as soon as the minis
ter hears from home. Minneapolis
millers will give 200 barrels of the cargo.
No Signs of Improvement.
Shanghai, Nov. 4. The situation of
affairs in-theadistricts overrun by the
rebels shows no sign ' of improvement.
A Mongolian prince has been murdered
by the rebels and ten more villages have
been looted. In all cases the Christians
have been massacred. The murderers
call themselves members of. the temper
ance league. The government has not
been entirely, inactive.1 - A number of
the rebels have been captured and be
headed. European intervention is anx
iously looked forward toby the Christian
population. .
A County Clerk's Audacity.
Albany, N. Y., Dec. 4. Governor
Hill has removed the county clerk of
Onondaga county, who refused to coun
tersign the certificates of election of the
.democratic candidates to the legislature.
Jerry Simpson claims that the alli
ance has 3,000,000 members. There
ports . read at -Indianapolis last week
showed a total membership of 400,000.
Jerry has evidently . been lying again.
