Entered in the Postofllce at Medford, Oregon, as Secoad-Otass Mail Matter. - Medforb, Friday. May G, 1832. THE ring; will be cleaned out, tlj.iuks to this paper. Is it not so? Remember that hy your ballots at tho polls this year, you will say if the Jacksonville ring will ride you to death. IT is now as good as settled that Oregon, as a state, will have no rep resentation at the Columbian vco'ld's fair exhibit in 1893 at Chicago. The votors of Helena, Mont., irres pective of party, have formed a large free silver club with ex-3overnor Houseras president. The state election in Louisiana re sulted in the success of Murphy J. Foster, the anti-lottery Peoples' Party candidate for governor. His majority was 30,000. - A friend roinarked: '"Even if you do not elect a man, ycur agitation will be the. means of saving thousands and thousands of dollars to the tax-payers of Jackson county." Ha, yes: but we are sure of electing our men. . GOVERNOR PEKXOYER has said that if the democrats do not put a froj sil ver plank in their platform, will step down and oat of tha ranks of da mocracy and up into rank3 of thi Poo plea' Party. Score one for the Gover nor. Thk supreme court has affirmed the opinion of Judge Bois.i in tho ct-tarney-gensralship case, brought on an appeal from Linn cnunty. The court holds that - Chamberlain's term ex pires and an attorney-general is to be elected In June. J PRESEST prospects are considered most favorable to the fruit-growers of the State. The fruit crops in tho East will b3 only about one-half so great as usual, and while in Oregon the output will be less than last year the qualilv and size will b-j so improved as to make the fruit command much ' advanced prices, which will aggregate a sum considerably greater than has beon distributed on this Coast at any time since the E'istern market was opened. In a late interview, Senator Leland Stanford, of California, had this to say in reference to the Peoples' Party: '"The people's, or independent party, will certainly have a candidate in the field this fall. With a national debt of S2,OC0,OO0,C0O. an enormous railway in debtedness, nail the lana mortgaged, and the load growing heavier, it is time that measures of relief hi taken. In the West, particularly, piople need i more money, or freer money. The people's party hope to get it. I do not 1 ., t h-ir oi-i.lirlnt, will hn " ' The Senator might have added, with truth and credit to himself, that erery thinking citizen should cast his TOte for reform. U. S. Sesator Dolph's position r ! lative .? tha exclusion of Chin-sj, has stamiied him forever as an enemy to every interest which tha laboring man holds dear. . He is not only a traitor to his party, but is unworthy the trust Oregon has placed in him. He would have no restriction of Chinese as has been plainly shown since the Geary bill passed the hou3c and went before fhe senate, some few weeks ago. P:ilph formed a substitute which was a parody on the Giary bill and he has ever since with unyielding devilishneas attempted to drown the Geary bill with his -rot. Geary has triumphed ho.vover to a great extent, and the. coolies will not have quite oil plain sailing when cross ing into the domain of the Unit 3d States no thanks to Dolph. S. H. HOLT, of Phoenix, county or ganizer and lecturer of the Farmers' Alliance, is one of the most, indefatig able workers known to the cause of re form. To his untiring efforts is dui to a great extent, the success attend ing the thorough organization of Alli ances and People's Party clubs in this county. At tha inception of the move ment, something like a year ago, to or ganize Alliances in the county, Mr. Holt ' encountered obstacles which would have proven unsqrmountable to a less determined and concientious worker. With lack of interest and oftentimes ridicule, staring him in the face, he battled and persevered, and in a marvelously short while, bringing to hear his superior logic and uncon trovertible arguments, he wheeled into line lodge after lodge of sub-Alliances, Elated with the phenomenal success in this particular, he began a political agitation for reform, the result of which is manifest today in the thorough organization of Peoples' Party clubs throughout the county. There has been no pecuniary compensation con nected with this work to speak of; on the contrary Mr. Holt today is out of pocket for many a small expense, still he wends bis way uncomplaining and is ever ready to advance the cause he loves so well. His nomination on the State board of equalization was well timed, and as nominee fop presidential elector, we bespeak' for him a fore most place in the ranks. Look well to your ballots and always vote for the ijight man. - .The following is good, and sound log ic and should be read and heeded by eery voter: " ' "- ,.. ' . .. "England buys Idaho, and Colorado silver for seventy-five cento on the dol- COUTRERN W Fbux e. . lar sends this silver to India where it is converted into India rupees worth 103 cants on the dollar; thon sho takes this appreciated Indian coin and buys Indian cheap wheat at about 50 cents par bushel; the premium on the silver pays the ' transporta tion of this wheat from the plains of India to Liverpool. This is hard wheat and it requires soft wheat to grind with it the kind of wheat raised here. Now England wants the wheat market of this Pacific coast country and it is all shipped in English bot toms. Now comes the English buyer and says to the farmers of this country: I i-I can buy Indian wheat for so much laid down in Liverpool, we cannot pay you any more." And England buys Oregon wheat, for TO cents a bushel and in common years for GO cents when the wheat is virtually worth Sl'iS3 por bushel. This is how England b?nts the American farmer with American law. This is tho leading reason why ; England is opposed to bimetalism and remonetizatiou of the silver dollar, and the American grangers, in gen eral, and those of the Pacific slope in particular, have to sweat because they do not understand tho question as to , what is the difference Between full re roonetization of money and fraud dol lars. . They will learn by and by, to understand what constitutes money; when th.iy do, England will not buy Oregon full hent for 70 cents per bushel, in faca of the fact that tho peo ple of the earth aro struck with a scarcity of bread stuffs. QUALIFICATIONS. As there seems to be so many con flicting opinions relative to the quali fications of a circuit judge in Oregon, we hereby append the law as it is given in the statutes of Oregon, believing and hoping this will forever sat at rest all doubts (if there ever wore any legitimate ones) portaining to thi eligibility of the Peoples' Party nominees.- Hore is all the law there is on the snojeet. "The judges of the circuit courts shall ba eitizeus of the United Stales, and shall have resided in the stale of Oregon at least three years next pre ce3ding their election or appointment and shall bj r.iujnts of their r;sp:?c tive districts at the timj of their elec tion or appointment" U ill's Code sec page 1035. Thus we have the whole matter in a nutshell. Nothing is mentioned, or was intended to b 3 mentioned, in the law as it stands today as to whether a circuit judge U admitted to the bar as a lawyer or not at the time of his elec tion. This point has n'sver boon ques tioned, ail reports to tho contrary notwithstanding. This same law and rule applies to county judge and dis trict attorney. We know whereof we speak for we havj thoroughly investi gated the matter. Vote for the Peo ples' Party nominees and rest assured, it they arc elected they . will occupy their respective positions without a question. Ira Wakefield, nominee on tho Peo ples Party ticket forcircuit judge of this judicial district, has resided in Oregon and lu this district a score of rears or more, and is amply qualified to fill the office of circuit judge, or any other for that matter, in which the people mr.y placa him, with honor to himself and satisfaction to his constituents. Cbm- pare him, friends, with our circuit judge of the last several years. Surely as a judicial office he is a hundred times more qualified to occny tho bench than Webster was at the time of his. election, and is even at the prosont day. Webster was a mere boy in maturity, and the county has paid dearly to educate him, whereas on the other hand, Mr. Wakefield is beyond the middle life, sound in a judgment sensa, and amply conversant with jus tice in law and equity, and capable of rendering decisions fair and deliberate and will do so with eminomly, more dispatch than tho present incumbent, thus saving to taxpayers ia this re spoct alone, many a dollar of useless expense. - Also W. C. Edwards, as nominee on the Peoples' Party ticket for prosecut ing attorney is beyond controversy, worthty tho support of every voter in this district. Tha present incumbent, W. M. Colvig, had never practiced law at the time of his election, therefore the bugaboo cry of our nomineos not being attorneys, is ail bosh and not to be held a criterion. Mr. Edwards will give more universal satisfaction, two to one, than Colvig ever has, for he is a sensible talker, and knows just what rights belong to the public; therefore vote for him without hesi tation. It is with pleasure wo mention tho name of W. T. Anderson as nomiuje for county judge on the Peoples' Party ticket. All rumors of his resigning the nomination, etc., have no founda tion in fact. The truth is, his oppon ents realizing the large number of votes his name is suro tp draw from both the other parties, havo resorted to divers unsavory methods to mislead the friends he has and is making in this race. . Mr. Anderson has ! not sought the office but now that he' has .beed called upon to flaunt the flag of roform, be will never shirk the duty (.'est assured and in his oleotion the county courf wjll ba presided over as it has never been befpre honestly and to the interest of tho publio at large; no ring will control hs aptfons or der cisions, and as he has a plear conception Qf the duties of a judgo and tha wants of the county, the citizens cannot dp otherwise but elect biin. Doyourduty, To Intending Bulldera, I t will pay you to write or send to tip Southern Oregon Lumbering and Man' ufticturing company of Grants Puss for all kinds of building material: lumber, sash,- doors, and mill work of all kinds, as they will guarantee you satisfaction in material, workmanship and prices, Plans and estimates furnished on all kinds of work. - - -: ' THE PEOPLE'S PARTY. Chairman Galyam Talks Very Con fidently of the Outlook. Tho following is taken from tho .Oro gonian, of a reccut date, and speaks for itself:. There is no mistaking thnt the Peo ple's Party In displaying a great deal of activity throughout the state. Its leaders aro full of confidence, and are busily engaged incarrying out their plans of capturing all that is in sight. Chairman Galvani, of tho state cen tral committee, was naked for somo in formation as to what is going on among tho reformers. Hc-ro is what ho- had to say: "Our work is progressing all along tho littf, and things loom up so bright that could our republican and demo cratic friends see it it would make them shed many a tear over the feast that tho Peoplo's Party is preparing for them. Of course, we cannot afford to maintain such palatUil headquarters as uro to bj found in the Marqunm block, but when the coming battle is over and tho smoke has cleared away our flags will bj flying over tho coun try schoolhouscs mid private dwellings throught tho rural districts, while tho palatial headquarters of tho republi can nnd democratic parties will have muny a mourner to mourn the loss sus tained by his mrty and himself. No; political parties without issues, except that of getting the oillces, can expect no other fatj. The people cuu be fooled sometimes, but no: a' all times, and they have already had all the fool ing they can possibly stand."' "So you claim there are no issues bs tJrcon the republican nnd domccrntic parties?"' he was asked. '"Most decidedly. To prove this we challenge the malingers of the two old parties to meet us in any number of public debates. General Weaver, Mrs. Mary E. L.'uso and others will b) hero soon, and should this preposition be accepted by cither, tho republican or democratic mnnngers wo shall make all tho necessary arrangements to mt 1 here or at any other j-cint in the state, and have this matter out before the p:oplo, whose votes aro just now so much iu demand. Nothing can .rove ! so much the reel absence r.f any real issue as tho refus;il on th j ' part of cither of tho two parties to accept this invitation, which is respectfully ex tended to them.' '"Who is to till thi vacancy created by tho withdrawal of Dunham Weight?"' 4Th state convention which mot at Oregon City last March has by a vote authorized the state central committee to fill all vacancies, and we have agreed upon Will U. Walker, of Ore gon City, to bo placed as our nominee for the oCice of suprem-j judg. The withdrawal of Mr. Wrichv has been tnado known to the state committee within a very days after thj conven tion had adjourrncd, and hi did it with the full consent of, the commits. Tho papers for Mr. Walker will be filed in a few days.- All other certifi cates are filed, all report to lti"Nsin tary notwithstanding, and wo aro prv pared for election day. Should any of thi certificates be thrown out which I doubt we will elect that p.-rson, any wav, as thoso who arc in the ranks of the People's Parly can r.'ad and write, and they will fill out I'jj blank s.wee upon the official tickets. However, I am suro that tho present authorities will not resort to any schemes in throwing out any of the Crtificut.s; if they do it will help us immensely.'' The Prolus vs. People's Party. Rlltor Southern Oregon Mail: There seems lo bo considerable sparring going on just now. between the temperance or Prohi Party and the People's Party, with reference to the action of the St. Lnui3 Con vention on the drink trnfiic. The Prohi's condemn the actions of said convention as both cowardly and undiplomatic, and the People's Party condemn the Prohi's as nar row, selfish ' and impractical. Neither of which we think is whnly right, nor absolutely wrong. - The end desired must determine the character of the persuer. The means employed, their wisdom nnd the rapidity of advance depends largely upon both the chnractor and wisdom of the individuals. The larger part of the People's Party aro as thorough temperance reformers ns any person in the rmik of the Prohi's dare to bis. But they desire also.many other things of equal or greater (present) value. We do not think that the time has come when any map, not even Shy lock, can have all that ho wants or even needs. Somo tilings, in the eTirt to uplift humanity, how ever . right they are or may be in themselves, when taken in connection with other elements of like character, becomo thereby, if insisted in, absolutely wrong. Two men Starving find a piece of brend; one seizes it first, he needs it all, nor would so small ' a quality sat isfy him; he should have more; his nature demands more. Ought he not divide with his equally hun gry compnion? Not to do so would put upon hi'jj the brand of brute, yea more, villain I As a nation, our condition financially and social ly, bespeaks a want compared with our ability to receive and Utilize for the common weal of pinti unheard of in the annals of history, and unparalelled oh the pages of crime. In this condition ought one class have all their demands, wants and needs, while another class numbering thous ands more, with more varied needs, (hough not less vital, be content with nothing? From the small results which has attended the Prohi's labors, one is persuaded, that either their demands are wrong or their method wrong That temperance is morally right, is certain. Then it follows that their method of proceedure is wrong; not wrong in itself, but wrong in its relation with other rhenn8 in which hopes are enter tained of the elevation of our race !nnd without which no permanent yietory can be gained. All evil is wrong and its very existance pre supposes no mean antagonist for virtue's burnished steel. Now since the past is so barren- of re sults in proportion W the work done, does not reason dictate that some other mode of warfare be adopted? Let us knock out the monopolistic feature of the traflic. Thus taking it out of politics; des- trov tho social clement, (the saloon;) put it on its merits, (if it has any) and nt the same time aid the mnsscs in their just demands also. Let us try it, and if it proves no more effective than the method so long tried, we promise an early abandonment, and a more thorough search for a more practicial method; nor ever tire, until success crown our efforts. Ira Wai.efiei.d, Fltrenix, Ore. Reform In Tha Party. KJItor Southern urryon Mall: The old party candidates will be around with their usual rot-gut whiskey. That has bcn the fash ion of this county. So I would say to the People's Party candid ates to reform on that kind of busi ness and show to Jackson county people that we intend to reform on that kind of a way to gtt voters. A drink of whUkey never changed my vote and I hope thore isn't a man in Jackson county thnt would stoop so low as to let a drink of whiskey change his way of voting, j Money spent that way would be j better given to the poor people of this countv. I reiftl 'a statement iiti the Austin Advocate, some tiui ago from ex-Senator C'nssadav.

The Alliance Advocate, of Kan sas publishes a letter, from H. E. Tiiubcnev-k, chairman of the na-i tional People's central committee, j ODtHisinir fusion in nnv of the Alii- i ll ance states. He states that there iis no truth in the report front Min nesota and there will be a combine against the Republicans. He quotes a resolution adopted by the national executive committee on which it declares it is "unalterably opposed to fusion with any politi cal party and will not recognize any individual committee or or ganization that proposes or enters into such fusion as afiiliated with the People's Party." In tne concluding paragraph Taubeneck says: "Fusion means confusion and will leid to nothing else. We want all the votes we can get. We want evey Democrat and Republican to come with us and we would like to have every oilice within tho gift of tho people, but we can't afford to secure either votes or offices by bartering away our principles. The very moment we use them as trading stock and peddle them around to the highest bidder to secure an oilice, we will sink into oblivion and we ought to. There is but one thing for us to do, 'keep in tha middle of the road.' Hoist the black Mug and neither give or accept nny qimrter. Any one who expects any of the old parties to give us any financial reforms by fusion, in my opinion, is a mental deformitv." Very Lutio Damag. Tho false reports concerning the fruit crop of this section will revert to the injury of the malicious and jealous Ashlanders who originated them. . The frosts in this vicinity have fortunately been accompanied by dense fogs, which prevented any Lsenous uamage, and this section of Rogue River Valley will have an abundance of fruit of all vari eties this year, notwithstanding the fables circulated from Ashland. Grants Pass Observer. The Observer has time and cgain accused Ashland of circulating re ports as set forth in the above article. Either Ashland is "cutting off her nos to spite her face," or the Observer is wilfully picking a row with our sister city to the south for pure spite.' More than likely the latter is the case for Ashland has as much at stake and more than Grants Pass and cer tainly has all she pan do to attend to her own affairs. Come, Mr. Ob server; let up.
