THE WRONG IDEA OF IT Grange and Alliance Organilatlona, at at Present Constituted are Denounced by the Secretary. Associated Press. Chicago, Oct. 18. Secretary of agrl culture Morton spoke on the silver question before the national commis sion today. He gave the populists a touching up incidentally. He spoke In part as follows: "To be sure as your president has In timated, underlying 'all the sciences and arts Is agriculture, and It has Just begun to dawn upon agricultural minds that It needs Individual devel opment and self reliance, In each cltl zen rather that a gregarious organisa tion which may be deputized or given power of attorney to think fo rthe farmers. We all understand that so far the grange and alliance organiza tions have attended to something else than farming. They have been worked to use the parlance of the day, by Jour neymen farmers, who, for political pur poses, have farmed the farmers. These organizations, as a rule, have attended to everything except agriculture. The many fallacies which have been evolv ed for the allurement of the former, are very catching. The teaching of many of the Journeymen formers has been to the effect that the money of the country is simply a legal friction. That which our people need first and foremost is an honest, unfluctuating measure of values. If gold Is the best money In the world, then the United States wants gold. OREGON'S GAUNTLET. Our State Defies the Whole World -to Compete With Her Fruit Display. Chicago, Oct. 18. Dr. Jay Guy Lewis, general superintendent for the Oregon exhibits at the World's Fair, has is sued the following: "Under the present system of awards some dissatisfaction will be expressed, and that each state and county may have a chance to enter into friendly competition, the state of Oregon, through its legal representative, here by challenges the world to compete on the following terms and conditions: Apples, embracing thirty or more va rieties, shall be the fruit entered. Each state or county entering, shall deposit $100 with C. G. Wright, superintendent of Pomology. The Judges are to be appointed as follows: Each state entering to select one Judge, they to elect one or two as the case may be, so that the number of Jurors shall be uneven In numbers. Col. Brackett Is acceptable to the state of Oregon as a committee on nomencla ture. The money collected as an entrance fee to be used by some one selected by the states entering who shall have a suitable medal made to be given to the state receiving the highest award.

TONGUES ARE STfLL WAGGING Senators Kecuins nn their Farcial ProcGcflicis withont a Halt, V00RUEE3 813 MHO II PUZZLED Mills Manages to Tell a Great Many FiU'U "ahuut the Iteal ftUtus of the Senal""" j ami Ua Vagarlen. Associated Press. Washington, Oct. 13. On reconvening this morning tho senate listened to Morgan, of Alabama, on the motion of Dolph, of Oregon, to amend Mon day's Journal so as to show the pres ence of Allen, .Allen having failed to answer when his name was called Morgan devoted most of his remarks to a reply to Hill's speech of yesterday At the conclusion of Morgan'B speech Voorhees moved to lay on the table the motion of Dolph to amend the Journal. This was agreed to. Yeas, 45. Nays, 3. The democratic senators have again a committee to worE'upon the silver problem with the understanding that the committee is also to make recom mendations as to whether a democratic conference shall be called upon tho subject. The committee Is making an effort to agree upon a compromise measure which the repeal democrats will accept for submission to the pro posed conference In case It Is called. Opinions differ as to whether there will be a forma conference or a comprom Ise submitted to the Individual sen ators for endorsement The preponder ance of opinion Is favorable to the conference plan. Voorhees said today that he would make an effort to continue for the present the recess system inaugurated last evening. His plan Is to have the senate sit from 10 to 0 p. m. He Is of the opinion that this will pro'ye the best plan for turning out the-work and getting rid of long speeches, He expresses the opinion that the end of the long debate is near, and intimates that tho present week may close It Vest Is circulating a call for a cau cus of all the democratic senators. It pledges them to abide by tho result If any "Is reached. The sliver men are signing it readily, but the repeal men are holding off. It Is doubtful whether Gorman will issue a call unless the de sire fort seems pretty general, as it is likely to do more harm than good. Teller, republican ,of Colorado, mov ed to amend the Journal so that would show his presence on certnln roll calls when he did not respond to his tin me, and he addressed the ncm.tc. He quoted from a statement of Carlisle in regard to insisting upon the passage of the repeal bill, and said: . "What right has the secretary of the treasury to Interfere with us In this matter? I resent It myself, as a breach of privi lege, When we surrender our convic tions, whether It bo on the advice of the president or on account of the public Clamor, the degradation of tho senate will begin and its usefulness will be at an end." Rising to a question of privilege, Senator Voorhees characterized as a figment of the Imagination the state ment published this morning that there had been a meeting of the finance com mittee at which Voorhees wts sup posed to have stated by authority that no compromise would take place on the repeal bill In which he or the admin istration could be considered as an actor. Mills said: "I do not blame the mi nority; I blame the majority fo rslt tlng still like children and permitting the government to be paralyzed. You cannot pass an appropriation bill or a bill reducing taxation, nor help com merce, because the senate has left its rules and abdicated Its power. The Issue has entirely changed, and It's useless to discuss the wisdom or folly of the repeal of the Sherman law. The whole question which the American people have the deepest Interest In to day is "shall the majority or the mi nority of tho legislative branches rule?' I am asked tauntingly whether I will go and carry Into execution whatever the majority in the caucus shall write down. I say without hesitation, 'No.' I have not reached that point of self Highest of all in Leavening Power Latest U. S. Gov't Report ix in aa "in ri nar TW1 iT,r' -iV il j n 1 j J abasement that I will come here and register the' will of somebody el.se. There was a time when I talked of a compromise, but since th echief of th democratic administration was charged with infidelity, to- his party, and there was the beginning of an anti-admlnls-tratlon party in the senate, I cut my bridges' and burned them behind nic ' on the. subject of a compromise. I am a democrat wh OHtands by the organ- lzed'adrolniHtratlon of my party." At 5:15 VonrhccB moved that the sen- ,utctnke a recess until 10 o'clock ti- lruirrov morclr.tf.-vMvfc-'wos agrovJ to.
