News of tlie Wtek From Our Ef ular Cor rcBtfoudaat at tHo Capital. Proiilont Karrisoti's annual tnes-s.t-i- to congress if, iu spite of its length, :i well written nnil intorestiug docunient, anil no man interested in national nfl'ain? can nflbrd to skip a single paragraph therein. There is, of course, the usual dinbrence of opinion as to those portions of tho message treating of the subjects which arc in dispute between the political parties. That portion of the message dealing with foreign aflairs, which may be supplemented soon by a special mes sage on Chilian aHairs, is generally commended by congressmen of all parties for its dignified language and conservative stand. The message rec ommends the passage of a bill lending the government endorsement to the bonds of the Nicaragua, canal com pany, ami expresses the opinion that tho canal is of sufficient importance to justify tho dnoct appropriation by congress of money suflicient to build it, if it can be built in no othor way. This recommendation has opponents in all parties, particularly in the house of repieseutalives, and it is extremely doubtful whether such a bill can be passed. It, reiterates tho statement in the last message against Tfcc coinago at this time, and asks that the present silver law be let alone. This is also u suggestion that will bo warmly op posed in both house and senate, by some of all parties. It repeats for the third time Mr. Harrison's recommen dations for the protection of railroad employes, and presents a startling array of statistics showing tho neces sity for such a law. That is a recom mendation which should bo acted upon, nnd it will bo if the Labor organizations will bring a littlo pres sure to bear upon congressmen. It recommends tho adoption of a consti tutional amendment for a uniform system for tho election of congressmen-and members of electoral college, and tho appointment by tho supremo court of a non-partisan commission to impure into and recommend a remedy for the evils of our present election system. Young Sherman Hoar, who is a democratic member of the houso as well as a nephew of Senator Hoar, who is about as radical a republican as could be found, is said to have cried like a child when Mills was defeated. If he remains in political life long, ho will get bravely over Unit sort of thing. Representative Jerry Simpson drew a first-class nrizo iu the lottery for choice of seats, and selected a sent in tho front row, where ho cannot fail to attract tho speaker's attention every tinio ho says "Mr. speaker," and un less ho changes his mind, ho will say it very often during tho session. No business of any importance except organizing is over dono during the first week of a now congress, ami this congress is no innovation iu that respect; the houso adjourned from Wednesday to Saturday, when it will adioum to next Wednesday: and - owing to the nearness of tho Christ mas holiday season and tho doubt about whether Speaker Crisp will get the chairmanships of committees an nouueed before the recess, it is safe to assume that tho torious work of the bt'suion will not begin until January. It in just us null perhaps for tho mu jurlty iu tho liutitu Unit this is so, as tho hoothiiiK ull'uct of tiiuw will by bmdleiiil to the so roue wliiuli now exUU ammig tliutfu who fought w hard U miiko Mr. MHU iwkr The viglll llilliUcri of lite furjllUlV (illkUMM who MlMHrltl IUrwniUUlvo WiMi, ut Utturgtu, Ui mUt, dmy Uwi Ui4y wmm Ulwt;MtuUMl Ummkjm iuurtf id Ui uiUtiiiB HiyinUr Uk) nut vh uifvOief. mw1 tttaiui dial lhay will utHiM. um itgMitbi wliMi any ulM I .

It is slated here that the old light against Ir. Mactine, who is a member Of thb executive committee of tho national twiners' alliance and the edi tor of thu National Economist, the national organ of tho alliance, is to bo opened again at tho meeting of tho executive committee to bo held here in January. Again tlie air is full of tumors ittkntt Mr. Maine's intoulion to write a letter formally announcing that he will not be a candidate, and declaring in favor of Mr. Harrison. It may be true, but it cannot bo vouched for by your cor respondent, becauso ho has been un able to find anyone authorized by Mr. Maine to make such a statement. Tho election of Speaker Orisp, whether justly or not, is generally regarded here as a black eye for the piesidential aspiration of Mr. Cleve land. The democratic members of the houso made Mr. Cleveland's nom ination the principal issue of tho speakership campaign, with Mr. Mills as the Cleveland candidate. Speaker Crisp refused, after his nomination by the caucus and previ ous to Ins lonmil election hv the homo, to ptoiniso that he would so make up tho committee on coinage, weights and measures, as to ensure tho"smo4tierTng of the free coinage legislation. This may mean much, or. it may mean nothing. J. II. C. County Alliance. Union, Dec. 18, 1891. Tlie Union County Farmers' Alli ance ami iniiustrial union met at Union Dec. tho Kith inst. in regular monthly assemblage. A two day's session was liciu ami mucii business of importance to the alliance of this county was transacted. Much en thusiasm prevails throughout the county yet, reports to tho contrary notwithstanding. There aro sixteen local ledges in tho county, with a membership reaching into the neigh borhood of one thousand. A fair at tendance was present and tho annual election took place, resulting as follows : President, 1). Logsdon, Union; vice president, C. D. Huffman, La Grande; secretary, IL W. Huffman, Union; treasurer, Jno. E. Hough, Cove; lect urer, Dunham Wright, Medical Springs; steward, Geo. W. Dillin, Union; chaplin, Kov. W. H. Fancher, Suinmcrvillo; doorkeeper, Win. Swiger, Union; assistant doorkeeper, H. L. Daughcrty, Cove. Tlie next meeting will occur at Un ion, on tho 20th and 21st day of Janu ary, 1892, and a full delegation and full force of all committees is earnest ly icquestcd, as there is business of vital importance to come beforo that meeting. All members not delegates are re spectfully invited to attend tho Janu ary meeting, and lend a hand to tho furthering ot tho cause. A matter of importanco was brought beforo tho last assemblage, but in jus tice to the lodges not represented, was doferred until tho January, meeting Particulars later. Como everyone; it is necessary that every lodge in tho county bo represented. A two day's session was decided upon iu order -to have ample time for the disposal of business. Tho inoothiK will bo at Wright's Hall, Union Orugon, January 20th and 21st. 1892. Itmnumbor it and oome. II. W. IIUI'l'MA.V, County Uiw'y. U nUould bo In Every llouee.

O'Hryant is gradually im proving and will bo able to be around in a few weeks. Quito a good time is expected at the Christmas tree at North Powder Christmas ovo. That young man over on North Powder river still continues his friend ly visits on Wolf crock, with great reg ularity. Tho dilferences existing between Gor ham & Kothchild and Mr. Eaton, rela tive to a power formorly owned by tho absconding Gus Hutchinson, have been amicably settled. Road carts aro becoming quite fash ionable hero and seem to bo a drawing card, judging from the number of trips made with ono to "Quartz gulch" and tho fact that it always conios back loaded and billed for church at North Powder, with ono of tho fairest of tho fair of tho gentler sox; but this is not tho "littlo red wagon," which in its day was a drawing card, and has boon known to draw with moro magnetism than tho well known vcgotable, tho cabbage, but it is tho "littlo yellow carf and owned iu fee-simple by ono of our rising young men who still lanionts that tho avoirdupois of hie "ducky darling" was so great as to give tho cart the lock-jaw on tho haw side. As the writer was returning from church, a weary prodigal, one evening last week his attention was attracted to some mysterious being which at first ho took to bo a ghost, but not being a firm beliover in ghosts, ho drew his six shooter, presented arms, aroused courage and proceeded to investigate tho Btrango, mysterious being. At a first glanco ho thought it was an inhabitant of somo strango and unknown planot, who had had a batl caso of somnambulism and getting too near tho planot's edgo had dropped off and lit in this strango, wicked world ; but great was our surprise when on closer investigation wo found tho mys terious being to bo ono of our young farmers, who wag quoting from Shako spcaro as follows : "Fair Ik my love, but not no lair an llckle; Mild uh ii dure, but neither truo uor trinity ; JlrlKhtor titan kIuom. uutl yet, iih glass in, brittle. With a goodly amount of threats mixed witu high-flavored persuasion the writer succeeded in Ketting the young man to alight from his porcli on tho lence, where ho said ho had intended to stand until ho became completely potrificd, and then ho would have his noblo form exhibited a hundred years hence at the World'a Columbian Exposition to bo held at North Powder, as ono who hud died a martyr at tho shrine of love. As ho alighted from his porch on tho higea t fence stake ho was heard to say: Qui tulle te posisil (imautcm'l which showed plainly that ho had once been a man of oluseio learning.
