' Editok Oiikoo.v Scout:
A very prominent member of the
farmorb' alliance, who does , not wish
I ! , by ii.inio at this time,
si 1 ul.,.: " I'licii' .-coins to be a gen-
!'fil :tn-i.i,rfii.-'isioii as to the con
tiiCMuii ui the l.irmers' alliance, par-
;tii'til(tly us Suiuliern members, with
the dii I'd j.trty moveiuent, a niove-
metil which is as yot entirely depend
ent uiMiii coutingeneius. it ha- been
stated and restated tit u tlu-Southern
members uf our organization could be
relied upon to support the nominee of
the .h-inocratic partv in the presidon-
1 ti.d "loi'tiou. Now I want to say that
if Mr. Cleveland or any other man who
, repr 'SiMihi what we consider the Wall
Mr. ideis of finance is nominated by
tlio df nocrats that he cannot carry
; four ot tne Southern States to save his
; life. One of t lie principal demands of
the alliance is free silver, and unless
the democratic party nominates a man
friendly to that idea you will sue the
electoral votes of eignt or ten of the
Southern States cast for the nominee
of a third party. The success of this
whole third party business is depend
ent upon the action of the old parties;
should one or both of them show a
reasonable disposition to bo fair to
wards the demands of the alliance, the
alliance as a body will not enter the
third party moveine it, but if Harrison
and Cleveland arc t be the nominees
of the old parties will uo into the
fight, i I honestly believe that we
can win against thoi two men."
Representative Jerry Simpson pro
poses making a five trade canvas of
Ohio against Mclvini-'y.- Mr. Simpson
is doing tiiis on his individual respon
sibility, the alliance never having gone
so far as to endorse free trade.
Not for yeais has so many impor
tant cases be m d cided at a single
term of the United States supreme
court as at the one which closed early
this wcok. Tlio entire number of cases
disposed of was G17, and among them
were decisions allinning the right of
States to tax the cars of the Pullman
Palace Car Company and tlio lines of
the Western Union Telegraph Compa
ny (It is gratifying to know that we
have ono legal tribunal which does
not fear tlio wrath of wealthy
monopolistic corporations) ; tho legali
ty of tho sentences of tho murderers
in New York who arc to bo electro
cuted, and the constitutionality of the
Original-package act, which it will be
remembered was passed by tho last
congress.
An address issued by tho legislative
committee of tho National Grange of
tho Patrons of Husbandry this week
has excited much interest in political
circles. 11 says in part: "The legis
lation sought must wait until the
farmers loam to send lighting and
faithful friends to represent their in
terests in congress. Frionds without
courage and push are only in the way
whore reforms arc sought. The
farmors may bo slow (too slow) in
starting into a campaign in their own
defense, but once the battle com
mences thoy will never give up tho
strugglo until tho right prevails.
Whou congress again assomblos the
farmers will pitch their tents alongsido
tho capitol and renew tho contest.
Tho noxt congress, wo feol assured,
will havo moro men who have practi
cal knowledge of tho needs of agricul
turo, and we confidently hope that
much wise and just legislation will
result from their odbrts. It is
not tho fault of your oommitteo nor
your fault that wo havo not suuctiodod in
all our ollbrls, and wo siucoroly trust
that our succosord may be as ably
Miipportttd. Wo dotfiro to say that
vary much depoiuU upon having u
man in the ipeakor'a ohair who id over
and at all timet the friend of agrioub
turo; h i i:.ui do uioro foi or against our
canto tlia.i .my oi .cr i u men in OOU
gi I'u larunT.' hoill, therefore,
a.-, ui. ii i iii.j m.-noiin a iftvorti'
bio man as speaker of the noxt 1i. .hm.''
It seems to have been settled tli.it
Commissioner of Pensions Raum will
have to go as soon as his successor can
be found, and it is now thought ho has
been found in the person of First Dep
uty Commissioner Davidson, a New
Yorker, who is understood to have
heavy political backing. I lis a thank
less position at best, and any man will
do well to think twice before accept
ing it.
Our policy in Rehring Sea this year
has at last been determined by the
cabinet and Mr. Harrison, after sowriil
prolonged sittings, and sailing, in
structions have been telegraphed to
the revenue cutters, Rush and Hear.
It is believed that it is the same old
pretend to do something, but in reality
do nothing policy that amused the
rest of the world last year. Nothing
definite has yot boon heard from Lord
Salisbury as to Mr. Maine's proposi
tion for a closed season, but it would
be too late to enforce it now anyway.

FROM EAGLE VALLEY.
EaCux V.u.i.i:y, June 2, 1801.
Editor Scout: I will give you
some of the news, as 1 have not seen
anything from this section for some
lime.
I see some of the Spartaitos in tho
valley.
Mr. P. Rasche, of Baker City, has
been in the valley on business.
Miss Nellie Reck is sick with fever.
Dr. O'Connor, of Pine valley, is attend
ing her.
Capt. Craig and Joseph Reck at
tended the memorial services at Raker
City last week.
Mr. Ben Longley returned last
night from Raker City where he has
been on business.
The widow Lloyd, of Pine valley,
has been visiting her son-in-law, A.
Parker, of this place.
Mr. W. E. Barber's band of sheep
averaged 10 lbs. to the head. Who
can beat that? There aie some bands
to shear yet.
Mr. John Frazier has just got homo
from the sheep shearing camp where
he has been superintending the shear
ing of his herds.
E. and A. Moody have just returned
from Baker City with a new cart.
Look out, girls, for a ride, for the boys
are both good, jolly fellows.
Thero aro some tenderfeot in tho
valley, Into of Missouri. They want
land, but think it pretty high. They
don't stop to think what they can
raise on it.
Lund is selling high, but W. W.
Kirby has a small farm for sale at a
low price. It is a line place, with
good orchard, plenty of vegetables and
small fruits, plenty of water and tim
ber. For further information call on
or address W. W. Ivirby, Now Bridge,
Oregon.
I will say, old Eagle is on top yet.
We have tho best crops here that over
. rew in Oiegon. Tho hay ciop is very
heavy and grain is looking fine. Wo
will commence cutting tho first crop
of alfalfa in a few days. Thero will bo
three good crops raised hero this sea
son plenty for all and will bo sold
cheap.
The leading men of Huntington
wore in tho valley n few days ago on
tho road business. Thoy say thoy will
build a good road from Huntington
to Eagle valley. That may do very
well, but Baker has been talking road
a long time. I don't know yet what
thoy will do. Thero is ono thing cor
tain, tho farmors of Eaglo and Pino
valloys aro going to havo a road to
travel out in tho winter, and not
through a snow bank. Givo us our
rights in regard to public donations.
Union county haH given some dona
tions to this section, but wo will havo
a road up Powdor river or Snake river.
Givo us good roads. Thoro is ono
thing, tho people of this sootiou are
not altogether satisfied about tho way
some of tho money has boon spunt on
roads in Union county. All wo want
is fair play, and that wo will havo, for
Eaglo and Pino vnlloya unite, regard
loan of politic in this mattor and look
after tho boat man. Wo know that we
havo tho ruling vote in Union oounty
and will bo on liuiul at tlio noxt ol Mo
tion day, and wo will work hard for
Hit bojt man.

J. M. Selder is preparing to build an
innuenso barn. We dare not give tbe

Quito a few herds of cattle have been
driven to the Minam range this week.
The herders roport considerable snow
in that region yet.
The alliance is about to consolidate
tho Upwr and Lower Cove into one
muss. If it succeeds, we will bo about

Mr. Portland?
Mr. R. T. Craving, brother of J. M.,

noxt week. Ho expects to dispose of
them in La Grande.
Tho now hoio collar factory will be

ty. Mr. and Mrs. E. P. McDaniol and
(laughter, Mr. A. J. Foster, Miss Dora
Poster, .Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Smith and

Wo aro requested to extend an invi
tation to all baseball nines in the
valley to play at any time, especially
the High valley nine for noxt Sunday.
The game last Sunday resulted in (!!
to .T7 homo runs in favor of tho Sorubn,
tho Mufllers being whipped.
Tho summer school is progressing
nicely and now is tho lime to arrange
for the fall and winter term. Koine
improvements woro talked oil' last
spring, that is enlarging our buildings
and connecting the two nearest dis
tricts. All know the advantage and
necessity of the best school facilities ;
it is not wise to delay in improving
them.

The members of tho allianuo of the
Park wont down to tho Big crook
lodge Saturday.
Crops in Park look very woll, con
sidering tho weather. Ryo is rather
short, but othor grain looks favorable.
Poppy, of Powdor river, got hurt by
a horse yentorday at Sunday school at
Big creek. I did not loam tho partic
ulars. Tho word has got out that tho Park
is going to have a picnic on tho
Fourth, but it is not so understood in
tho Park.
Tho saw mill U on tho run. Yet
you might think it u coward in run

A large band ef iheep pawed

Mr. W. T. Martin, our road super
visor, has been having some nico work
done on the roads. Bill is a good ono
on the roads.
Health is generally good, but Grand
ma Van i poorly; but old age has
something u do with her health, and
so has patent medicines.
There is a bear hunter who comes
to the Park once in a while, who has
it knack of catching bears and taming
them right away, so that they are por
f eily Mine and harmless.
The weather has been rather cool
for weeks, without much rain, but this
morning il stalled in with snow and
then settled down to rain, and at 10
o'clock it is mining nicely.
Moiko had his funeral preached on
the Illsf of .Mnv for some of his smart
ness. So be hits gone the way of all
thotearth, but thoy had to send oil' to

While Miss IConedy was out riding
some tiino ago the horse jumped to

Mr. Enoch South was out some
time ago looking for horses and oamo
across a young colt entirely alono and
neatly starved to death. It was walk
ing around a tree and could not be in
duced to leave, so be look tho wagon
and after hard work got t ic colt homo,

Grandma Shaw, James Wade and

Mrs. Shaw and Mr. Wade returned,

frionds. Ho has passed his three scoro

George South, while driving tho
mill team around to get his load of
ltunbor, mot with quite an accident.
Tho mules became frightened and
started to run, which scared the horses
and the seat fell oil' and throw Georgo
oil'. Tho hind wheel of tho wagon ran
ovor his thigh and it is thought frac
tured the bono. That is what tho
mule does. No thoroughly civilized
man will own a niulo. So say 1.
Rev. Rargor preached tho funeral
sermon of Janios Wisdom's boys on
tho .'! 1st of May. Tho text was: "Ho
that boliovetb and is baptised shall bo
saved; ho that boliovetb not shall bo
damned." It hit some. When a man
preaches that God never made a liar
or a bad man, ho is oil' his oast). If
God made man, as tbe .Methodist cate
chism says, ho made him with all of
his faults. Our preacher of tho .'Usl
taid : "A man makes himself a bad
man and a liar." Did tho natural
born idiot mako himself so? Did tho
negro make his hide black? Mr.
Fowlor, you might as woll stop writing
on phrenology, for you aro wrong ac
cording to Rargor. Does tho child,
ono or two years old, make itsolf lovo
whiskey? Does u child make itsolf a
natural born thief? Such is the case.
Thoro is no doubt of such being dem
onstrated to a certainty. He said that
a man could believe anything ho want
ed to. Ho said that Prof. Lang, of
Germany, bolioved that tho sun was a
great bank of ico. That settled it. A
man could believe anything ho wanted
to. Why was not Bargor a Catholic,
or Baptist, or some othor denomina
tion? Why simply because ho could
not believe tho doctrine. Policy goes
a good ways somotimos.
