Our citizens were sadly disturbed on
Sunday morning by the sad Intelli
gence that Wm. Henry K. Barker,
brother of Hon. Jesse N. and Wood
ville Barker, bad departed this life at
the former named brother's residence
n t.ha 29th ult. at the age of 39 years.
The deceased was related to many of
our prominent citizens other than the
two named, and was a gentleman and
n honest man. beloved by all who
knew him. He belived iu the Chris
tian faith, and was nn active member

The school meeting for this district
was held In this city last Monday.
, Judge Gaddis was elected director, and
J, C. Fullerton, clerk. A aeries of reso

was one providing for corporal puulsh-

meeting to vote a tax to repair the

the honest voters of this county
against the crookedness of Fiuk 4

have also argued and . urged that the
purpose of Fink A Uazley was Hom
ing less than the purpose ot men who
scheme to rob the people, and that
the ring was not composed of demo-
crtits alone, but also, of republicans,
so regardless of party principles as to te
willing to sacriSce party interests wnen
it came to a question of filli Dg their own
pockets. We have also pointea to tne
fact that the democratic and republican

The answer is as ready as the question

farther their selfish ends. And both
the so-called democratic organs have
been Helping tne ring, ana as
Fink A Galley dictated, they have
done their beat to make tt warm for
Solomon. Oh, the deception there Is
In the rascals! They have called ua a
personal organ when they are but
tools themselves. With so little as
thev have Dossessed to base their
charges upon they have accused us of
their own crime. They believed we
like them in their einninir : for thev
could not but judge as by themselves
since their egotistical, sinful nature
would not permit them to know any
thine else. While we were nussled at
first, we could not help thinking we
smelled the devil in ihe amoke maae
by his imps. And now the truth has
come not only In proof of the rotten
nees of the ring, iu proof of how Fink
a Oazley are working to make the two
parties submissive to the carrying out
of their own individual ends, in proof
of the submission of the Star and Plain-
dealer to their purposes, in proof of the
conbination entered into by the repub
licans and democrats in the ring, but
in proof of the skillful plan made by
the ring to force the free people of
Doaglas county, through low cunning
and secret plottings, to bow down be
neath the ring's yoke atr the election
and thereafter for two year's, wltn
Fiuk King, and Gaaly the power
behind the throne.
It is sad to realize that a party which
sprang from so noble and glorious a
temple as that in which the reas n of
the immortal Thonuus Jefferson found
a temporal home, should be so pros
tituted, to the base purposes of two
Belfish schemers It is a shame that
those who advocate the ideas of the
great and glorious Alexander Hamil-
ton, and by following their truths,
pray and hope for a republic with a
life everlasting, they too must bow
down and act as Fink Waziey
two plotters in Douglas county, in a
siuail precinct, aud small town, in a
new and young State, and to coutrol
one little pitiful lawsuit, snail pro
nounce. What is more are jot the
taxpayers' interests to be considered 1
It seems not so. While many good
men's names are included in tiie ring's
slate (in order only to give the riag's
ticket evidence of resecUbiIity) only
n fir lioa the riuff pUnned for the
people. In the letU r good, and hon
orable men's names are uyi; but it is
tl.rouu'h compulsion the ring's man
I Fridav sneaks of such men. Were
h romres aHoe-ethsr mimed npouone
ticket the traud upon the people would
be to transimrar.t. Half will bo put
imon one ticket, half upon the oth. r,
aud through the love the people have
for the Drincioles enunciated by the
two great leaders and by swapping
and trading', it Is planned that all tlie
rosmes will cet offlc, only exciting
th honest men elected who must be
supported in order to hide the wrong
worked for. The honest democrats
and the honest republicans spoken cf
in Fink A Gazley's private secretary's
letter need not feel uneasy because
they have been named in connection
with the ring's candidates. I hey
must remember that after the ring's
rk la completed there yet remains
a power iu the hands or tbe electors or
thi countv far irreater than all that
King Fiuk controls behind his throne.
tIih ncoole will have the last say ; and
don't fear. 1 he farmers and taxpay
have lone aero learned how to sep

We, the people of this remote corner
of Douglas: county, have but little to
say or do in politics though we feel
the effects of taxes to a certain extent;
and if we do not Bay much we have
kept up a terrible thinking and once
in a while srlve vent to our feelings by
giving, fine majority tojthose whom we
fifil are cnod. honest men. as We did
two years asro and intend to next
June. We have watched the course
of our present board, and find by the
present standing of the couuty nnan
ces that our efforts are not in vain,
findlnsr that they have liquidated, or
nearly so, a debt that has been hang
ing over our county for some years.
We heart; I v endorse the proceedings
of the county board and we propose to
try by the same means wltn wnicn we
helped to place in office a majority of
the present board, another of equal
value to the couuty that tne present
has been. j
Further, we have studtBdVcarefally
the proctiediogs of the Independent
Central Committee, and heartily
endorse the resolutions of that body.
If democrats place in nomination their
honest and efficient men they may
expect a majority froml this precinct
If the republicans do they may expect
to carry it. So you sie we have dis
carded party lints and propose acting
in the interest of the people and not
party. We do not ask anything out
either nirtv only that
in placing in nomination men they
may remember that we are a tax
navinff Dreclnot and if they leave us
out we will think they have slighted
us. JNOKA.

The Grange in Politics.
Tt is well understood that the rules
of the order prescribe the discussion of
pariy politics in its meetings ; but that
is ffequently misunderstood. There Is
no reason why all subjects of political
Important uhould not be discussed on
their merits, of course avoiding parti-
zan features. No party has a mo
nopoly of principle and it Is principle
that the pKph are entitled to discuss,
and should be difcuw-ed in the grange.
It is lamentably true that the great
political organization" are now en
gaged in a pcramble for place and
power ; and that neither dare assert
any definite policy from which any
portion of voters could seriously dis
sent. Therefore, they hold their prin
ciples, more or lees, in common. And
the people of Oregon have Interests to
be maintained ; it is well enough, in
vtew of the measures of the general
election, that popular interests should
be manifested in discussion of princi
ples and selections of men to carry
them out. The producers have the
great burden of the state to carrjr on
their shoulders, and they can better af
ford to act harmoniously together for
i their own best interests than to be di
viding and warring through their
memberships of old political parties.
Tlie narepr of parties shows how little
the people have to expect from them
and how much they have to expect

The separation of the bound from the

is therefore attained by snaking the

make the Wood binder cheaper than

This reaper h&s pwHed fhrotirfh eight
harvests, during the first three of
which it was mainly fumiohod for
tbe European tnt'.'e, having been
generally introduced to the home
trade in 1873 in response to a growing
demand in many sections ror a nrst
class reel-rake reaper. It has made
for itself a most brilliant record, and
one to which each succeeding year has
added new laurels; its sales, both for-
eien and domestic, during tne penou
named, having reached an unpre-
cedenliy large numocr, can oe caiieu
The Reaper of the Period.

at least tnree times me numoer oi

ises to be equally large..
We call the attention of the public
to the following points of excellence:

reaper what they term the "auto

solutely controls the successive action
cf the rakes; aud by means of a lever
connected with it, the driver in his

every alternate raKe will act an a rake,
aud every alternate rake act as a
beater; or so that every fourth rake

rake wiil art as a rake, aud the next
four act as beaters.
Although the automatic gear thus
