HARD NUTS FOlt "X. Y. Z." TO CIIACK.
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.

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

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."

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."

HATUIIOAY'B BACKS.
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.
The writer has discovered that to be
an oflieer ot the Heppner Park Associa
tion Ih no fun ; in fuct, it is a thankless
position.
Lenders in fashion just received. A
new line in lateHt novelties of gents' straw
and felt hats. The genuine "Stetson" in
dress and cow boys, at 91-tf t
C. S. Van Duyn's.
A Gazette reporter visited the farm of
J. B. Ely, near Douglass station, tbeotb
er day and was shown over the premises.
Mr. Ely has 27.' acres of full-sown grain
which is now moro than knee high, aud
to say it looks fiuu does not half express
it. Ho has just put np a fine, new cy
olone wind mill, something very seldom
seen on our bunch-grass farms. Some
of tho grain iu that locality Iimh been
damaged to Borne extent bv the hot winds
ot last week, though it is uninjured on
this particular farm.
