ADAMS, Perry, Mo. ST. JACOBS 0L DID IT." ' ALLIANCE COLUMN Submitted by a subscriber. It would be tonohiug if it were not amusing to note the anxiety of the old party bosses. "You ain't going back on the old party, are you?" Is it going baok on them to refuse further allegi anoe to the parties that long ago went baok on us? No. By disoontiuuinf? to vote with the partita Ibat would soon legislate us out of what little they have left us, we have merely stopped going back on ourselves. The people are no longer to be fooled by the smooth talk and false promises of the old politioiaDB. The worn oat cry of "Stick to the grand old republican" or "grand old democratic" rPry kas lost its foroe. The people have long etuok to the old parties through tbiok and turn, but they have found thai promises are thick while performances are thin. They have found that the old parties are getting worse and worse, and are run only for pelf and preferment, without re gard to the rights of the great mass of citizens who form the rank and file. So they have formed a party of the people and for the people. No one doubts that the farmers' alliance is a grand organization. It was born to do good and to make smoother the rugged pathway oi those who till the soil. It was ushered into ex istence not as a political organization, nor as an Institution whose purpose was to elevate to power or political preferment any of the disaf fected strikers or soreheads of either of the old parties, but as a labor organizatton whose Bole object was the protection and advancement of the agriculturalists of the United StateB. It is an outgrowth of the old patrons of huBbandry, has absorbed other grange societies, and its membership now numbers probably not less than 3,000,000 in the United States. East Ore gouian. ' Tbank yon, brother. Bo far so good. Bat why spoil it by saying in the same paragraph that the people's party is led by old-parly soreheads who are trying to pull the ulliauoe into their ranks; that the leaders of the people's party "are laboring for their own personal aggran disement, have no love for the farmers, and it is right that the allianoe should refuse to lend tbem encouragement, f" Fiel Fiel Suob an ingenious twisting of things was not expected from the usually oandid E. O. That the . 0., of all others, should resort to suob tricks is but another evidence of the strength of the people's party and of the poverty of argument agaiust it. And it is amusing the dear farmers of the alliance refuse to join the nicked people's party I Oh, E. O.I E. O.l But perhaps the E. O. is innooent in the matter. Perhaps it really doesn't know that the allianoe wbb the germ of the people's party ; that the alliance is now the core, the heart, of the people's party. The allianoe is the reg- ular standing army ; the people's party includes this and the immense volunteer foroes attracted by the justness of its oause and despairing of securing the rights of the people at the bands of the old parties. It the E. 0. man will extend his reading beyond the old-party papers, be will find ample confirmation of this assertion, and be will also find that able writers, deep thinkers and honest men, who never sought offioe in the old par ties and are not seeking it m tne new, are the advisors of the people's party, in stead of its being led by disappointed plaoe-bunters. It is easier and less pain ful to believe that tke E. O. is itself de ceived, than that it is deliberately adopt ing disingenuous methods. Urino Like Brick Dmt-O. K. x. Gave Almost InFtant lie lie r.

Sir Knight Captain Otis Patterson, re ceived the following from headquarters reoently: Indianapolis, Ind. April 26th, 1892, Knightly Sir and Brother:--The application for a Division of the Uniform Kank K. of P, to be Located at Heppner, State of Oregon, was duly received at these Headquarters. The applica tion has been approved by the Supreme Chan cellor, and Capt. E. E. Sharon, of Pendleton, State of Oregon, has been commissioned to insti tute the said Division. You will correspond with said instituting offi cer as to date on which the Division will be ready, and arrange with him fully all the de- tailB. It will be your duty to pay the necessary traveling expenses of the instituting officer. Supplies will be sent to the instituting officer. Warrant fee (thirty dollars) received and for warded to the Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal. The Division will be numbered on re ceipt of the report of the instituting officer. You will notify each of the applicants to be present at the appointed time, and the necessity of procuring the prescribed uniform for the Kank before the meeting. I would also suggest that you call a meeting previous to that time and select officers, or at least your Treasurer, that he may be prepared to furniBh his bond before the officers are installed. You will bear In mind also, that this Rank 1b dependent upon the Or der of Knights of Pythias for membership, and good standing therein must be established by "Official Receipt" from the Lodge of which he is a member, before a brother can be admit ted. The instituting officer will call for such evidence while in discharge of his duties, and it should be promptly furnished him, and all due obedience rendered to his orders. Fraternally yours, James R. Caknakan, Hajor-Qeneral Uniform Rank. By Friday's mail the following letter was received from Sir Knight Capt. E. E.

Do you know whether the uniforms have been shipped from Columbus, Ohio, yet? If the uniforms reach you before May 14th please wire me and have everything arranged to institute on Saturday night the 14th. Would prefer the Pith if possible for you to get ready,. otherwise I shall have to wait until I return from the I. O. O. F. Grand Lodge, which will be either the 21st or 23d. Kindly let me know the situation of allalra ao I may know how to flguro.

Tbe following is the answer: Hepi'Ner, Or., May 7, '92. E. E. Sharon, Pendleton, Or., Knightly Sir and Brother: Yours of the Cth inst. at hand. I will say in ans wer that wo have not been informed of the completion of our uni forms, therefore would infer that they have not been shipped. Should we receive them between now and the 10th inst., will wire you. But should they eome later, It would give the mem bers little time to prepare for the institution of Blue Mountain Division. I beg to remain, Yours in F. C. & B., Otih pattkrhon, Sir Kt. Capt. Blue Mountain Div.

The Norwegian Storthing has unani mously resolved to take up a state loan of 20,000,000 crowns. Tbe Christiana Evening 1 st has re ceived information that Kaiser WilliBm will arrive July 9 at Bode, aboard the Hobenzollern. From there he goes to Skaaro, where he intends to board a whaler and participate in the oatcbingof whales. Two steamers, intended for the trans port service of submarine mines, have been executed for the Russian navy by the Motala Shipbuilding Company, this establishment, however, became bank rupt before the boats were oompleted, and tbe oontraotors were thus liable to a heavy fine by their Russian customers. Tbe oompany, however, candidly inform ed the Russian government of their bank rupt oondition pleading for a remission of tbe fine and an additional payment of 108,000 crowns bnyond the stipulated sum. Tbe two boats proved of such su perior workmanship that the Czar grace fully accorded the unprecedented request. One of the greatest triumphs ever soored by a singer at Stockholm since tbe days of Christine Nilsson was recently done by a young American lady. The Roval Court theatre wbb crowded. The newspapers, however, had without any recommendations whatever simply an nounced that ao American lady would appear as "Violetta." Nothing eitraor. dinary was expected, and tne audienoe SDpeared quite apatbetio. Iieaides Sig rid Arnoldson's impersonation was still in fresh aDd delectable memory. The audienoe felt most unsympathetic But the curtain rises! She enters. What a dazzling appearanoel Snob eyes, such demeanor! It is tbe simple and natural American manner united with the round- ed plastique of tbe Italian and the grace fulness of the Freuoh. Glorious tones vibrate through the auditorium, whic h not only enthrall their listeners but ver ily eleotrify and ravish them, evoking a yearning response in every human heart Madam Beatrioe Vehon was born in Chi- oago of French parents. Her voioe at tracted when a ohild considerable notioe. After having oonsulted musical connois seurs ber parents resolved that she should devote herself to her artistio calling. She reoeived a particularly oareful music al training, and after necessary prelim inary studies she was sent to Paris, that she from the most able teachers of that oosmopohtan and artistio metropolis would receive, so to say, ber artistio bap tism. She has as yet not appeared pub licly in tbe United States, but will be sure not to forget her native oity on its day of glory next year. Portland, Or., Jan. 12. Having a severe backaohe last summer I tried the OREGON KIDNEY TEA. I used oue oan whioh effeoted a radical oure. I would recommend it to all who are afllioted, as an unfailing remedy. JULIUS ACH, NOT ELIGIBLE. It is not my desire to oast any sort of refieotion on the oandidaoy or good stand- ing of tbe alliance candidate for county superintendent, as everyone knows that she is not only an estimable young lady, but a thorough, progressive teacher, and should the constitution of the state per mit, make a splendid superintendent. Under the head of "qualifications of county offioers," artiole 5, seotion 8, con stitution of Oregon, I find tbe following No person shall be elected or appointed to a county office, who Bhall not be an doctor of the county : and all county, township, precinct and city officers shall keep their respective offices at such places therein, and perform such duties as may be prescribed by law. Of course, all that refers to tbe matter under consideration is that tbe person shall bo an eleotor; in other words a voter. A lady oannot vote at a general eleotion in this state and therefore is not eligible to bold office, which tbe oourts will hold until tbe constitution is ohunged. Voter, LEXINGTON AND VICINITY. Ed. Gazette: Showers are plentiful these davs, and those who believe their prayer for rain has been answered are now busy petitioning for a warm dry spell. I . Saturday s crowd was not quite so large as usual. Many of tbe people were away attending the public meeting at Liberty, at whioh time and place Mrs. S. E. V. Emery addressed the audience on "Tbe Seven Financial Conspiracies." Ample preparations are being made for tba allianoe picnio and publio speak ing at this place, Wed., May 11. People when they aot in unison oan almost remove mountains and a "little Hill" that now presents itself as a for midable barrier will be readily and easily leveled to a proper plane. When a man will stoop to the petty meanness of refusing the use of a grove for picnic purposes its high time to draw the line. The act is not in aooord with the views and feelings of the rightful owner, and that be may not suffer injustice at the hands of a wronged people, this publicity is given. Here may be a good plaoe to state that the editor of the Gazette is in no way responsible for the opiuions of a corres pondent, and while we are not eager for a "set-to," any one who belieyeB he bas suffered injustice from our pen, is cor dially invited to defend himself. It seems like rank nonsense to acouse a local correspondent of having an opinion, or of having much of anything else. The "smoke 'em out" prooesa has actuated some indisoreet talk about a "guu play." There is one thing mightier than the gun that is the "son of a gun" whose practice and careful observation enables him to "ring the bell" every now and then. If some of these lords of creation who assume that this world was made for them, and them alono, would "keep in the middle of the road," there would be no occasion for this oomment, and with the firm assurancs that "no bluff goes," tbe subjeot will be dismissed. It would take many pages to give tbe opioions of tbe various local oelebrities. John McMillan does not talk politics much.

Doc Palmer was disappointed in not securing the office of coroner. Doc says he has no reason to oomplain of bis patronage, but the country is so extreme ly healthy that he is hardly ever oalled in to Bay what will cure, and be would at least like to show what will kill.

Lexington, May 8, '92. HON. F. A. MOOltE. Conclusive Answer to the Charges Reflecting Upon His Integrity. From the Orcgonian. Portland, Or. Moy 5 To the Editor. Our attention has been called to certain articles published in several of the news papers of the state, reflecting on the character and integrity of Hon. F. A. Moore, present republionn candidate for supreme judge of tbe atate. Having been attorneys in the oase men tioned in the articles above oited, and being entirely familiar with the facts of tbe case, we deem it simple justioe to say that the decisions of the courts thor oughly vindicate Judge Moore, and that, in our judgment, there is nothing in the whole transaction whioh Teflects in any degree on the integrity of Judge Moore, either us a mun or as an attorney. The whole question of Judge Moore's good fuith was fully investigated and tried, and tbe plaintiffs failed to estab lish, by one partiolo of evidenoe, any charge that they had made agaiust him. Very respectfully, Killin, Starr & Thomas. Ed. Gazette: In your issue of Friday I took pleasure in resigning the nomina tion for oounty superintendent of schools in favor of Miss Voruz.of Heppner, Far be it from my purpose to appear of a "oDangeful spirit," but from present ad vices it would appear that the party in question is partial to Portland people. All we bachelor's want is a square deal, and we'll have that or I'll run myself, by cracky ! If there is any deputy needed Morrow Co. can furnish him, for we have a fine job lot of bacbelois here. With profound respect I am yours sincerely, Patrick Quaid. Hi'jtnkh, May 9, 1892. HALE R1DUK ITEMS. Mr. Andrew Hum is visiting with Mr. 0. A. Repass.
