Difference of Opinion as to What Effect It will Have on tho Coinlne Election. Washixotox, May Ls., 1S)1. Editoii OitEoo.v Scout: Close observers of the mnt of jioli tics were not surprised to learn that it was charged that both the democratic and republican managers had paid emissaries among tho delegates to the Cincinnati convention. It would bo extremely ditlicult even where all the delegates were regularly accredited from legitimate organizations, and simply impossible in a convention where many of tho so-called delegates ropiesonted onlv themselves or at best paper organizations, to keep out crooked men. And I happen to know that more than one man went to that convention from hereabouts who has on past occasions handled crooked political money. If 1 desired to be personal it would bo possible to name one of the dele gates at that convention who has been named as a member of the national committee, ami who, in at least two campaigns, while ostensibly connected in a conspicuous manner with one po litical party, was in tho pay of the campaign committee of another. Dates and amounts paid might in this case be specified if it were necessary, lie belongs to tho fortunately small class of men who live by the sale of their honor. There are grayo diil'ercnces of opin ion here its to the effect that the work of the Cincinnati convention will have upon the campaign next year, but all agree that it depends entirely upon the actions of the great alliance conven tion which is to be held on the 22nd of next February. If that body endorses tho work of the convention just closetl, then will the third party havo assumed mammoth proportions; if not, it will not be a great factor m the fight. A man never gains anything by try ing to make small of the people who do not think exactly its he does; and one would naturally suppose that a man who hah been in congress, in journal ism and in Pennsylvania politics as long as Col. Tom Ruyne, of Pittsburg, has, would have long ago learnetl this lesson ; but he hasn't. He was hero this week and in an interview he said of the coming campaign : "This coun try will have reasons for feeling grati fied if tho opposing tickets are headed, respectively, by Harrison and Cleve land, because no matter which was elected the victor would stand between the people of the United States and that peculiar and unreasonable brand of foolishness which is labolcd 'free coinago of silver.' Neither Harrison nor Cleveland would permit a fieo coinage bill to become a law if by any means in their powor they could pre vent it." A senator who read theso remarks sharjily said : "Is Tom Bayno tho people of tho United States? Why he talks like a lunatic. I am satisfied that if it could bo possible for the peo ple to vote upon tho question of tho free coinago of silver, without any dis tracting political questions being mixed' up with it, more than two thirds of them would vote in its favor. It is the one-third who oppose it who would bo gratified to sco the two par ties again led by Cloveland and Harri son." A newspaper man with moro imagi nation than gootl judgment started tho silly rumor that Mr. Harrison Biiubbcd Senator Quay when that gen tleman was here this week. The cause of this 'conclusion was that after send ing for Senator Quay to como hero Mr. Harrison found himself so busy that ho sunt tho sonator a note requesting that tho intorviow bo dofcrred to a moro convoniont time, .mess your soul, Mr. Harrison may not bo in love with Quay, tho man, but ho will never think of snubbing Quay, tho boss, who controls tho Pennsylvania dologatiou to tho ropubliuun national convention. Mr. Harrison and all tho members of tho oabinot, oxcopt Jilaino and Noble, who aro away, bcoiii to ho as busy as beavers, but it is probable that they are only catching up with the routine work that accumulated while the president was away. At any rate if thev are engaged in any work of national importance they aro keeping it very quiet It u known that Mr. Harrison is awaiting the return of Mr. Maine before hiking up the important matters pending before the State de partment. The new Peruvian minis ter is more than anxious to obtain the same trade reciprocity for his country that IJnuil now enjoys with us, but ho has been informed that nothing can bo done until Mr. Maine returns. Several tunes this week it was ru-1 mored that Mr. Harrison had asked. for tho resignation of Commissioner of I j Pensions Rauin, hut he hasn't up to ( ! date, and Gen. Raum, who claims that I his son and himself are the victims of ; , a conspiracy, says that ho does not ; i intend resigning unless asketl to tlo so. i I It is believed hero that Mr. Harrison j would gladly accept the resignation of J ' Oen. Raum, but that he, for some ; I cause, dislikes to request it. If tho J ! resignation under a cloud of (Jen. i j Raum's son from tha pension bureau ' shall succeed in breaking up tho prac tice, nil too common in Washington, i of officials appointing their sons, J daughters and in some instances their j wives, to important positions under them, it will prove a blessing in dis guise for tho public service, as this practice has grown to bo an evil of mammoth proportions. J. II. C. COVE CULLINQS. Covi:, Oregon, June 3, 1891. Ho for the water works? Rev. Trumbull held servico at tho Morrison church last Sunday. Miss O'Neal, of Cornucopia, and Miss Baker, of Union, visited tho Covo this week. Tho Baptists propose to collect tho subscriptions for tho now church and complete it immediately. There has been about 2o0 head of hogs sold in the Cove this week. They go to the Portland market. Ben, son of Miko Dtiflby, has been very sick this week with la grippe. IIo is much better at present. Now is the time for tho peoplo to sco their likeness. Shafer, tho pho tographer, is here with all his machin ery. Considerable improvement is being made on some of our roads by the road supervisor, together with the boys. A number of teams aro busy hauling flour to Union and loading with wheat to return. This speaks well for tho place. Mrs. Lou Chiltls hue rented a por tion of Win. Russell's residence which she will occupy in company with her sister, Miss Ada Bloom. Mr. Wesley Duncan was kicked on tho side of the head by a wild horso while trying to catch it. Ho was in sensible for twelve hours. Dr. Ewin performed tho last opera tion that ho thinks necessary on W. Ilaggerty's neck, Sunday. All his patients are improving. Jas. Russell has gone to Moscow, Idaho, to contract or dispose of his teams. Jim has a good lot of teams that ho would dispose of very leasona bly. Mr. Dion Keofe, contractor from Walla Walla, was tho recipient of many wclcomo hand shakes last Satur day and Sunday. Ho thinks somo of returning to Grande Rondo. Wo understand a picnic is arranged for next Sunday. Now is tho timo for picnics, excursions, etc. Straw berries aro beginning to ripen ; thero is an abundance of ice in town for ice cream ; plenty of posies for the ladies to gather, and pin on tho boys' coats ; tho streams aro low enough to catch tho mountain trout, and everything is favorablo to encourage peoplo to visit tho Covo, for tho exclusive purposo of enjoying themselves and seeing tho most beautiful place in Eastern Ore gon. A Oreat Oflor. That five-dollar map ollered to new anil old subscribers by the St. Paul Globe Pub lishing Co., Is ono of tho most valuable ami expensive premiums ever used by nows paper publishers.

EAGLE VALLEY The Garden Spot; of Union County. A LARGE PER CENT OF LAMBS. The Hay Crop Brief Note3 and Personal Mention Tho Wagou Road Committee. Kaiii.k Vau.kv. May HO, ISM. Health gootl. Strawberries are ripe. Mrs. Nellie Peck is on tho sick list. P. Haehe, of Maker City, was in thin i vallev recently. John Scott has taken tho place of Harvey Leo in Chandler Pros.' store. Mrs. Col. Mnkitison and daughter, Miss EsU'lla, are visiting rolulivos in Raker City. Mr. Poppy, of Pig creek, was in this valley recently and reported that Pig creek was almost too dry to bo saved. Wo hail a small rain shower a few days ago, which cool d tho air a little and icfreshed tho grass which was tolerable dry. Mrs. Eugene Chandler and sistor, Miss liillio Young, started on a visit to their sister, Mrs. Witherite, of Walla Walla, recently. Capt. Craig anil (!. W. Moody pro duced ripe cherries on tho 27th of .May. Can the Cove do as well? If so, please let us know. Mr. Harvey Lee, who was on tho sick list ii few weeks ago, has recovered and is able to be about, lie is not working in the store now. A baseball club has been organized. Ono of our high headed players got the summit of his smeller pealed it few Sundays ago by tho ball. Mr. Al. Wnldron anil lady, who havo been residing on Snake river for (lie past few weeks, tire now visiting Airs. Nellie Peck of this valley. Tho Barber Pros., our successful sheep men, have marked over 100 per cent, of lambs this year. Tho other sheep men also tire doing fairly well. Tho Band boys have been making improvements. They gave a success ful and well managed dance a few weeks ago, which was largely attended. Matt Simonis, who was married a few weeks ago to Cora Kirby, returned to banger a few days ago to begin work as a married num. Ho did not take his wife with him. How could ho leave her? Haying will commence in about two weeks. It is thought that tho lirst crop will bo a little above tho average. Many of us expect to cut three crops this summer. Wo expect to havo enough to help tho outsiders a little. Will wo let tho glorious Fourth of July pass without celebrating it in this valley? Some say not. That is what I say. Who will start tho ball rolling? It won't hurt us to have two picnics in Eagle in ono summer. Tho more tho merrier. Tho citizens of this valloy woro noti fied to meet at tho Craig wohool house Saturday, May !M)th. at 2 p. in., to seo what amount of money and work will bo donated by tho ctiizons of tho val loy to aid in tho completion of what is known as tho Powtler river road, lead ing from Eagle valloy to tho towns of Union and Baker City, Oregon. Jo seph Beck, W. W. Kirby, John Fowell, Newt. Young, 0. H. Craig and Kay Young were appointed as a committee to sco what amount could bo raised, Who Am" I? HIOH VALLEY. Ilioir VAM.J5Y, Juno 1, 1891. Tho good, faithful clouds, which have been holding on to their moisture with a death grip for moro than six weeks, got together Wednesday even ing and gavo us a regular lot down. High valloy always catches tho rain when thero is any passing around, and this timo got hor upper side well soaked, and that none too soon. Tho farmers havo been wearing long faces for nearly a month on account of tho dry spell. Tho hay croy will bo short on account of this non-Baptist turn on tho part of tho weather, but every thing being considered wo have uo serious grounds for complaint. Theso drops aro as good as nickles, and coup ing directly as they do in tho shape of good crops, thev sire easv to hike euro of. " . Long visits, long stories, long exhor tations and long prayers seldom profit those that have to tlo with thoni. Life is too short! Moments being precious, learn to bo brief, to condense, abridge and intensify. We can etiduiv many an ache anil ill if it is soon over, while even pleasures grow insipid anil pain intolerable if they arc proir.ictud be yond the limits of reason. Learn to be brief, taip oil' the bnuiuhes. Stick (o tho main facts in the case. If you pray, ask for what you waul and stop. If you speak, tell your mes.-ago anil hold yur pi'aH). Boil down two woids into one. and three into two, and note tlto good result. That escaped deceiver, Sohloppy, is said to have failed to marry his vic tim near Stunmeryillo. There is just this standard of action that thr world follows in its judgment, however, that the writer does not believe in, and re lates to this very action and judgment between men and women in the social fabric and wherein the social world has imp kind of money for the use of tho dominant sectiot. socially, and a decidedly did'erent ono for tho other. We refer to tho judgment and fato that attends men and women in this lax day. A young man may sin against all tho commands; ho may de spoil tho fairest homes and leave a track of woe in his passage, but let him hIiow signs iff repentance, how quickly hands aro extended toward him to save him fiom the pits thai he, himself, has dug. Hands, fair, soft and white, will bo eagerly extended to save the wreck of all that is moral and manly, and homes will quickly upon (heir doors in fact tiicro is nothing generally too good for tho prodigal sou (or calf eater) when ho onco turns away from tho swino and husks. Tho robe and the ring and all aro for him. But ho iv about the daughter? Ah, that is where tho dilloionce comes in. When the woman onco starts out to sow a few wild oals her path thence forward leads downward to a final ami a certain Hell. Should she show ever so many times a desire to change from that course of life, no friendly hand is ever extended to save her from her self. The wolves that most bitterly bark on her track will havo licked and fawned about the feet of the rako who may have caused her ruin and fall. Should she lay her hands upon tho promises of tho gospel, hor lingers clutching them like tho hands of a drowning life, cruel women will beat them, crush them and hiOak their hold, and send her swiftly to tho Hell that yawns, always at her feet. For tho ro penlent Magdalen no church door swings wide open. For the repentant rako thev more than meet him half way ami coddle him as if his soul was especially worth a dress parade ot all the church corporals, while that of tho woman's well she was only a woman, lot her go and bo damned. The good Christ will forgivo hor sins, though thoy aro as deep as scarlet, and make her whito as tho driven snow. Sho can stand purified, chastened and saved, but tho christian men and women, while admitting theso gospel truths, can never carry them out in their treatment of the women, but will break their necks to do so for tho rako, especially if ho has the additional sal vation of cold cash. Wo do not be lieve in this hypocrasy of church standard doggery. It is not right. Those who transgress tho laws should bo equally hold to an accountability without regard to sox, and tho spoctaclo changed from womon beating their fallen sisters down dcop into Hell, yet fawning on their seducers and mur derers, to ono of common honesty and justico between men and women, and ono no moro deserves Hades than tho othor. Lot thero bo tickets for two and no return coupons of travel that way. Tho responsibility being equal, tho shame is for both. We would not palliato tho ofTonso, but wo would bo just. Havo ye not hoard, "Lot him that is without sin cast tho first stono?" J. W. Minnick. Notice of salo. Notico Is hereby given that on tho 13th of June, 1801, at Unities, Baker county, Oregon, I will soil at public auction my band of horses, consisting of thirtr-flvo head; among them aro mares, colts and geldings, soinu of which aro broko for work.
