Editor of the Gazette:' I see in the Gazette of May 20th an ar- tiole written by some one, and plaoing at the bottom as a signnlure "X. Y. Z." He starts out by saying "It aiu't for me to say bow you shall run your paper," and winds up by saying, "if you know what is good for you, you will quit making a fool of yourself by printing such stuff." I suppose, bv what he has had to sny 1 tbe beginning of the article, tbe stuff" here referred to, was the alliance meetings as reported by "T. K. B." Now anyone oan see what is the mat ter with the gentleman ; if this had of been a "grand old demccratio meeting ' that T. K. B. bad reported, Mr. X. Y. Z. would have had nothing to say against T. K. B's. report. It seems from his language that he would like to dictate to the editor of tbe Gazette what he Bbould allow to go into the paper. Now I don't wish to take up my pen to defend Messrs. T. K. R., Hadley and Lewis, for they are able to defend them selves; but one word, anyway. I think that Mr. T. K. R. has only given the allianoe justice, Bnd would have done the same thing bad it been a democratic or republican meeting, for I tbink be is too much of gentleman to do otherwise. He next accuses Hadley and Lewis "of making a lot of claims that won't stick." Will the gentleman please state what claims they have made that they cannot prove? We don't think he has the nerve to some out and disprove what they have said; if he has why did he not do it wben he had a chanoe to do so publicly. Had. ley and Lewis have never spoken here one time that they did not give anyone having anything to say an opportunity to make a reply. Then was the time for HiiH eentleman td put in, and not wait until ther were gone and then explode bis soatter-gun, hiding behind the tail end of the alphabet. He says "this precinct has about 130 mtfli." when it only has about 120. He claims sixty-five demoorBts in this pre oinot when there never has been a demo cratic majority and is not now. He also tells us that there are fifty republicans in this preoinot, but he does not tell as how many alliance men there is. I guess he don't know and we are afraid if we tell him, be might lose some sleep, so nr will let him rest until election, tnen he will wonder how be made that mis. take in figuring. He calls the alliance "a side show" and Hadley and Lewis "the song and dance men." Well I guess he is about .ii,t tlm alliance in a side show and Hadley and Lewis are the principal per formers in this part of tbe cooutry. 80 far the principal part of the performance has been for the actors to show up the corruptness of the old democratic party, and tbey have been doing it in good shape and don't you forget it. But the greatest act will take place about the Bth of next month, when the alliance will show them a trick worth remembering. Hear him again. He says that Hitdley and Lewis sing and dauce and tumble, eto - He is mistaken in that. It is the people that sing and dituce and tumble. Whenever the people hear the truth and flee the light they begin to "sing and Inee" for joy; then it is not long until they begin to "tumble" and every time one tumbles he tumbles out of the old -us-pitiBeut himself J lie knows it was a very rainy Sabbath morning, and the meeting re ferred to was Sabbath-sohool. Ou ao oeunt of the inclemency of the weather there were but few gathered at the school house. On account of siokness the su perintendent oould .not leave her family. Tbe assistant superintendent was absent also, and while they were waiting for more to come, the few men that were there talked about politics, that is, iu their common conversation. T. K. B. was there, not a silent observer, but ad ding his "little sny" from time to time In a little while after, finding there would be no Sabbath-sohool, they went home, and that was the extent of the political meeting. I have nothing to say about the impropriety of conversation of that kind, at that time and place. I merely wish to show that tbe meeting was mis represented. There is no place religious meetings are more reBpeoted than in Eight Mile, and a teligious meeting would by no meaDs be turned into a po litical meeting. All sober-minded people feel hurt at such an insinuation as that cast on our neighborhood. I. G. N. Eight Mile, May 21, '92. CHINESE MINKI1H. Thoy Are Working in the Old Placer Flrlda Near CuiRtllla. From the East Oregonian. It is a faot not generally known that a dozen or more Chinamen have been en gaged for some time in working the old placer fields on the Columbia above Uma tilla. They evidently have quite a "snap," and are very suspicious of white people, refusing to talk or to show the amount of gold takeu out to parties who visit their camp. They are believed to have secured considerable fine gold. High water permits aotive operations just now, and the Chinese miners are busy, work ing near the edge of the river. They use quite an elaborate and ingenious cradle process, also, of a curious nature. Tbe placers where the Chinese are mining were abandoned by white miners about twenty years ago. They are some two miles above Umatilla. THE NATIONAL CONVENTIONS. A rate of one fare for the round trip to Minneapolis and Chioago, republican and democratic conventions, has been authorized. Tickets to be good going and returning same ronte, to be Bold only for trains arriving at Minneapolis on June 5tb and 6th, and at Chicago on June 19th and 2(lth.

He reports tbe wheat crop as looking well, and as yet, neeuing no luuiaiure. T. K. K. AGAIN. Without any desire to brook disturb ance or place fuel on the fire of any of these well meaning people, it seems absolutely nooessary that this pen should again assume the defensive and do its best to show that "naught was set down in mnlice." True some of the dear brothers (and or ought we know to the contrary, some if the dear sisters) danoed in glee when in public Mr. was acoused of refus ing his grove for pionic purposes, but when it came to light that the charge was false, this error wsb corrected with the same publicity and as cheerfully as it was made. There is a certain element in all coun tries that practice intolerance to an alarming degree. In fact they pride themselves on it. Find them where you will, they are the same in spirit although they may ohange their political or relig ious complexion with the rapidity ot a chamelion, and over the door of the new- ly-construoted joss house will be written the imperative inscription in burnished letters of gold, "Thousbalt have no other gods but mine." Tbe gist ot it all is that it depends very, very much on whose ox is being gored. The ox in question was fairly caught in one ot bis own traps and Bince he makes such a "roar," w hy not examine the case a little further? Why not ap point a commission to investigate the case ? If T. K. R. is the "dirty, malicious liar" you are so anxious to show he is, why not introduce something more sub stantial than a roeii declaration ? You oan rest assured that somethiug will have to be done to change public opin ion on this interesting (?) issue. We beg of you, however, not to unchain mour tiger. Some correspondent, signing him belt "Ignorant," aBks T. K. B. "if school building is not publio Iproperly during school bourB?" No, most emphatically, no. The school property of tbe state ot Oregon belongs to the direct heirs and decendants t a royal family ot kiDgs by tbe name of Roberts, of wbiflh we have the distin guished honor ot being a member. Native modesty has heretofore prevent ed us from making this public, but we believe in being trunk nud answering (ivil questions. The property is uot for sale, Some very good people in their tame blindnesB have been' going on from year to year, tbanking God and the state of Oregon for these graoious favors which are only a small part of our private charity. From time immemorial our buildings have been used for school pur. poses and for meetings both religious and profane, and thesubliuie doctrine of "equal rights to all" is not a new idea but an o)J axiom, that w ith the iron band of deterniinatiou was stamped upon the mind of the world more than a hundred years ago. The time when the scnool house was refused, Blltided toby T. K. R., is the only time in the history of tbe world that we know of, and if it had not been customary to hold auoh meetings in the schoolhouse, if the teuoher had not agreed to take up school an hour earlier and thereby cause no inoonveuience; if the prominent allianoe man had been a Christian there would have been no 00 oasion for this parley; but tbe facts show a clear case. Enough on that score. "Ignorant" further inquires "is it powder or gas?" As 'ignorant" and bis immediate friends are making the only outcry, perhaps they haye been "burnt" by the little explosion, and if they are anxious to know whether it is powder or gas it irii'ht be well to exhibit their wounds to that eminent French ohemist, Chas. W. lugrahum, whose country resi dence is hurdby. Charley can tell powder from gus but strange to Bay to tell the respective ages ot the Heppner belles is a "mtiokle mair" titan be will bargain for. Old Bachelor need not ask the origin of the expression "too green to burn," if he will keep in the middle of the road and attend now and then a political meeting. Tliere is certainly no harm in a simple question or two. Yon are a fair writer and we hope for the common good of all you will continue to com ment on punning events, X. Y. . gets in his "awgor" again. X. Y. Z. is badly "off his bnnch," and bis interpretation of our kind admonition to "soberly examine the correspondence, etc.," provokes a smile wider than sun light. A Btory illustrates his case pretty fairly. The Btory is an ancient chestnut. A very niae young man was out riding with a very nioe young lady. For con venience let us locate the story in Aus tralia. When their drive was over, at her father's gate, the very nice young man said, "Miss Matilda, may I help you to alight?" Indignation burned like Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. ABSOLUTELY PURE fire, and the young lady haughtily re plied, "No, thank you sir, I don't smoke." MoBt resp. yours, T. K. B. Heppneb, Or., May 30, 1892. We are somewhat orowded for space and must necessarily "cut out" about four columns of the best work we have ever seen from T. K. B.'b pen. Wo de sire to give everyone a fair show, but we oan't publish a history of the democratic party or any otuer party in a single issue. Furthermore we do not approve ot these "personal tilts," and iu tbe kindest spirit suggest in future that cor respondents avoid as much as possible anything of a personal character that is not complimentary. Our renders as a rule do not enjoy the "pitoh "battles." Ed.

The Meeting Knded by Two Spirited Oon- ConteHtH Champagne and Lady Opal the Hrspective WlimtuN, , Saturday opened up rather oooler than the preoeding days, but windy nud dusty as ever. Very early iu this morning there were strong indications of a shower, which, under the oirourastauoes, wp.uld have beenweloo'med, but it failed to do more than sprinkle. The attendance on this day was the smallest of the meeting, owing, perhaps, to the disagreeable weather. THE HALF MILE DASH Had the followingbtartors: Champagne, Brady, Joe Cotton and One-Eved Riley, Brady and Riley both belonging to W. G. Allen and selling "iu the stable." Joe Cotton was a strong favorite, Cuniiipngne next and stable third. The horseB were tapped off with Joe Cotton a little behind, the others about even. At the bead of tue home stretch. Champagne took the lead, holding it to the finish, with Joe Cotton a neck be hind, Brady following a half length. Time, 0:52. The entries in the CONSOLATION I'UltHK Were Lady Opal, Little Dick and Brady. Opal sold favorite with Dick and Brady about an even second choice-. Distance 1000 yards. After a tedious delay they were tapped off about even. It was a pretty race throughout, Opal winuiug, Dick Heooud, aud Brady third, Brady having just run in a half-mile race, had the worst of it for the otherB were fresh. Time, 1:01. NOTES. The attendance throughout was small er than should have been, for the raae course is certainly quite a beuelit to Heppuer. Tomorrow Deacon and Boh White will try tbe half milo over again for $100 a side.
