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

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,

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.
He said '"There was 1.0 aitTcr-m'c!
-j in the two old panics in regard to
free coinage of Fiiwr in that s.tale.

People's Party Chairman Tanbroeek
i'oiuts Out the Only Inde
pendent Paih.
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.
