Entered in the Postomce at Medford, Oregon, as Secosd-Clnss Mull Matter. .. Medford, Friday. May 20, 1802. All yes are on the Southern Ore gon Mail and Pennoycr. ' Mrs. Lease has turned the heads of many a staid old politician. The ring is tick now. but will have a severe attack of spasms about June Gth. Floods, mins horrors and stage rob beries have been frequent and terrible the last f jw weeks.- Jths weok's issue we publish Gov ernor Pennoyor's Athina speech in full, and trust it will .be ead and apprf ciated by all our readers. AGAIN we deem it necessaay to con.- tradiet the originators of the story that W. T. Anderson will not run as judge on the People's party ticket. He IS on the ticket and will stay there until the last vote is counted. These false reports almost assure his election. TnE Third or Peoples' Party move' mont has reached a point bsyond ts experimental stage and for a man to sner at its principles or disciples proves one ofthFJ9 taiagj-self inter est, party prejudice or iguoranea. sometimes we can excuso the first wand thi last is deferring of pity, but for J,$he second, party prejudice, there is jpothing upon God's green footstool which so much merits the contempt of reasonable and free thinking men in this enlightened age. - L. Polk has s:ud, that more and more are the grat masses of people learning to comprehend the duties, functions and powers of the govern ment as then general agent. What right has their genera! agent to issue the peoples' money to corporations at a cost of I per cont and license these corporations to loan it to the pjople at a cost of 8 to 24 per cent? We bjlieve with John C. Calhoun that the peo ple should not bj required to pay in terest or gorernment credit while said credit could bj extended to them with out interest. We bjlieve with Tnomas Jefferson, that the power to issue money should be taken from the banks and restored to the psople and to Con gress, to which it rightfully belongs. We believe with James G. Blaine, that the one defective element in the na tional bank system, is that it requires the permanence of the national debt as the basis of its existencs. We believe that Abraham Lincoln could have ut tered no truer prophecy had his hand and pen baen guided" by inspiration when he wrote, that the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working up the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggre gated in a few hands, aud the republic is destrorod. THE KANSAS CYCLONE. The People's Party may well foel jubilant over thj result of the work done in thU valley by our Kansas champion, Mrs. Mary E. Lease, for never in the history of political rally has there bean such an uprising as that which turned , out in every in stance to hear this lady speak. Won derful as is her voice and articulation, her truths are still more of a rcveala- tion and not only tend to the education of the masses on vital points, but old and tritid politicaas oa evvy hand admit that they have had their eyes opened as never before. The lady spoke in four places: Ash land, Medford, Jacksonville and Cold HDl and at each and every place, sev eral hundred people turned out to h ;ar and to learn. She speaks without notes and is never at a loss for words; in fact as sh? herself says, the time alloted for each sp3ch is always too short. Her subject is the finance, principally, although hir lectures have no resemblance om with the other.' Next week we hope to find space to give tha greater portion of the speech as delivered in this city. PENNOYER S SPEECH. The Portland Telegram publishes the following interview with the Gov ernor: Governor Pennoyer's Albina speech has caused so much comment, coupled with some speculation as to his motive, if any, that did not appear on the sur face, that a Telegram repprter was de tailed to intjrview his excell ency. The governor was found busy in his office at the Portland lumber mill, and greeted Jhe reporter with his accus tomed urbanity. "We have harder times this year getting money to pay for our logs as delivered than for many years past," he said, as a man went out who was a paymaster in a logging camp. "We need more money in circulation." '.'No doubt of that, governor, but I callcil to inquire into the significance of your Albina speech. It has caused considerable talk, and it is freely in timated that it was made as a prelude to a big scheme, the outcome of which might be your nomination for presi dent at Omaha by the hird-party con vention." ----- IS NOT A CANDIDATE. "Oh, there's nothing in that; noth ing whatever," responded the gover; nor, earnestly, ."its all moonshine; why, nobody knew till last Saturday tnat x was going to muse that speecn. No, I am not a candidate for president; or vice president, or senator, or any thing else." "But suppose, in consequence of that CTOOTflERN )y Fklix . speech and your former record, you should be made the nominee?" 'I am not a candidate; that speech was made with no reference to any such event. It is not a supposable case. Weaver will probably be the candidate, and he is entitled to it." 'Do you think an out-and-out free- coinage mnn, with that the main plank in a platform not overburdened with too many others, could gain some clec- toriul votes, and thus throw the elec tion into the house?" "In tho event of the nomination of Harrison by the republicans and Cleveland by tho democrats," the gov ernor respondod promptly and em phatically, "such a mnn would carry tho electorial votes of a number states and be elected, because all the south would votj for him in preference to Cleveland." THE OMAHA CONVENTION. "Well, governor, 'don't you see that the Omuha convention, see ing that in all probability you could rarry Oregon in addition to all the other states that Weaver or any other candidate could, is likely to make you the nominee?" "Oh, I don't' know about that; that spaech will never be heard of outside of Oregon. No," he repeated, "Wea ver is doing splendid work, and I think he ought to bs and will be the nominee." The governor expressed himsjlf freely and fully on his political post tion, but did not care to be quoted further. He believes bis views on the coinage question are true and right democracy; he has no political as pirations but is determined to stick to what be believes to bj sound princi ples. I Harvey Richardson. - Following is a short sketch of the life of Harver Richardson, of Etna, nominee for commissioner on the People's l'artv ticket, which we know will be read with pleasure: Mr, Richardson was born in Put nam county, Missouri, in 1S53, but his parents moved to Macon county, Missouri, while he was quite young, where thev remained until 1871, at wnich time the fumily moved to bhasta countv, California, and from there Mr. Richardson came to this county in 1S7S, and has re sided here ever Fince. He has been engaged in stock raising and farm ing all the while, lie was post master of Ktna for seven years, and at present, in addition to farming, is operating a mail route from Sam's Valley to prospect, a dis tance of fortv-five miles. It will be seen by this, although getting along in rears, Mr. Richardson is sail an active and industrtous worker. He is a reformer of long years standing, and has taken an active part this year in not only the local reform, but is versed in na tional affairs. The stories that he would not accept the nomination as nominee for commissioner, and later, that he would withdraw, have no foundation in fact. He will be found at the helm till the last mo ment, and as commissioner, will serve the people honestly and satisfactorily. From Butt Cieek.. Editor Southern Oregon Mall: There was a young lady out on Butte Creek a few davs ago elec tionecring for Mr. Deming for clerk, and the most potont argument she produced was that this was leap year, and she expected to get mar ried during the yenr, add that if & R. Owen was elected that he was so slow that he would not be able to write out the marriage license, and she would be left. Bitte Creekeb. May 17, 1892. From Ira Wakefield: K lit or Southern Oregon Mull: Weather cold and stormv: aw ful bad roads, but the work goes on, and if the g. o. p. don t have the nightmare about June Gth, then I am no prophet. Klamath county has out a full People s Party ticket Lake has not, but the party will support the district and state tick ets. .We go north to Summer and Silver lake. Monday. Can't get home before Juno 1st, and would not then if the g. o. p. had their wish. Ika Walekield. Lakeview, May 13, 1992. Ksck Point Pointers.

May 17, m-2. - FOR THE LADIES. BY NKLI.1E ULY. FASHION NOTES. All skirts for domi-toilets are made with short trains. The lonir cloaks with double fronts have become rather common, but on wet days must be again talceu Into fa vor, as thev cover tho whole dress skirt. The zigzag pattern in dress materials is decidedly tho thing. Tho pattern is in all sizes and shades, and is fashion able whether in woolen, silk, satin or velvet. Gowns for brides are made of whitj silks, showing satins and gros-grain ngures. Another new ana bjuutilul material for those gowns is whitj armure, having either a plain or dia gonal cord. All white dancinsr dresses aro usu ally some light material, such us cropo crepon, or cuitTon, and are inudo short, frequently with a wide sash bolt of watered silk ribbon. lorming a pointed suriss bodice effect, und having ends fulling to the foot of the skirt at the back. Frills of colored chiffore or surah Onish th J neck and sleeves of most dresses, or a narrow plaiting of either of Uiosj materials softens tho hard edges of cloth and other costumes. The old-fashioned Creole hoops are tiro newest thing in earrings. Ginghams, zephyrs, nnd cotton Bed ford cords, in alternating 8trip?s of a whit cord or blue, gray, red, pink or black e round, are tho materials used for washable dresses. Glov03, stockings and sho;a must match the dross, I'm told, but the wearer will usi hsr own iuiaunt coa- curniug such edicts. PRACTICAL SAVINGS. Poor rubbers aro the cause of much canned fruit spoiling. A lumu of susrar saturated with vin egar will cure hiccoughs. , Salt makes an extra fiuj tooth pow der; it keeps the gums hard and rosy aud makes the teeth brilliantly whito. Condensed milk, beaten up with one egsj and a little pulvorlzd sugar, will make an excellent nmng for cream putt. A bruisa may be prevented from dis coloring by immediately applying hot water, or a little dry sUircn, moistened with cold water, and placed on the bruise. For neuralgia make a small muslin bag and fill it with salt; heal it hot and place it against the aching spot: it will retain the hsat for a long time and will greatly relieve. Table Bock 8quib. R E.

From tne News.) Samuel Steveus and wife started last Monday to return to their home in Klamath county. Geo. Low nccomjia nied them, taking a load of dried fruit. Frank Robison, the young tonsorial artist, of Ashland, left last Monday for Bonanza, Klamath county, where he proposes to open a barber shop. We wish him success. In tho years to come, that mvstical character, the "oldest inhabitant," will take a fiendish delight in frighten ing the tender immigrant by referring to the "cold spring of ;92." Henceforth r,nvono can swear in the firescr.c3 of Wei born Bceson without n the least shocking his sense of pro priety. He is notary public. On tha 10th inst. Wm.

The Alliance seems to be flour ishing here. We don't know what they do at their meetings save "ride the goat,'' but they contem plate changing the day of meeting from Saturday to Monday so the "Unca guid" may dance without violating the Sabbath.

Slnoe the wlowly moving cycles of the nations first beffun Has the world been cursed and saddened by the eellltthness of man; And the student of the people can but count this iiuylng true.

While our babes wubtn his caal mine drag the burden on tbetr knees. O the blank unvaried serfdom: O the needs unsaltsded ! O the dreary, dreary home where want doth ever mure abide. Not for ns Is natares beauty : not for us the Joy it yields. When tbe nrsi sweet lark of May time carols tn the snniihl fields.

Applegate Item. Business is quite dull at present Disagreeable- weather with cold nights. Crops are looking finely in this vicinity with good prospects of a bontiful harvest. Miss Mary Lewis who has been visiting friends in this vicinity, re turned to her home at Grants Pass this week. Miss Annie Swanson, of Browns boro, is paying her friends on Thomson Creek an extended visit. The assessor was hero Friday assessing the people. - The May day party given at O. E.

Miss Hazleton, of Cottage Grove, is a guest at the Gold Hill hotel. A delegation consisting of J. Dodj'e, J. W. Mark-sherry, John Ralls, A. J. Barlow and George Ralls attended the political speaking at Grants Pass on lost Wednesday. Members of tho three political par ties are working in unison, and sparing uo pains to make th-; Candidates' ball, to be given in Gold Hill on June 3d, a grand success. There will be plenty of room for eight sets to dance at once, and in a comfortable and well-lighted room, conveniently situat.-d for both hotels. Flounce Sock Bakings. Rain, rain, rain, will it ever stop? Crops arc beginning to turn yel low, and it is to oe feared they will be yellower before it stops raining. Joseph Woodruff and family passed up last Saturday, en route for his home at Union Creek. Our enterprising merchant of Prospect passed up yesterday from the valley. Mr. Ed Knighten, of Trail Creek, is mail carrier now, I believe. Brother McCall has gone to the valley to hear Gen. Weaver speak, and I think some of the rest of us bad ought to have done the same but they all say the roads are so bad, it is almost impossible. But nevertheless we all read a little up here, so we know about how things are going. Mr. Whelpley is in the valley with his beef cattle, but according to all reports he has found that sales are dull, lie has some nice cattle. Jack and Frank Watts' smiling faces were seen out from the woods this evening. Hurrah for our Prospect Alliance! We are still building up. Last meeting we initiated five and next meeting we will have seven more, making a total of 20 members. How is that for new baginners? We think we are succeeding finely. The pawing and bellowing has ceased now. Some found out they were cutting their noses off to spite their faces, and let up. I Kxow Who. Deserving Praise.
