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.

FOR THE LADIES.

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.

Frank Robison, the young tonsorial
artist, of Ashland, left last Monday for

BATTLE HYMN OF LABOR.
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.
That the many toll and struggle for the pleas
ure of the few.
Yet, O. Freedom ! labors birthright ! not for age
Bhnlt thou be sold
For the seamy mess of pottage, granted by the
power of gold.
Lo, a brlKhter day id dawning on towr'd vast
' reformH we range ;
In the world's deep heart is throbbing presage
of a wondrous change.
And the tlme-ploce of the ages soon shall strike
the faithful hour
When the tyrants arm shall t-emble and the
people leara tbeir power.
Surely thuy have been full patient, they by
wnom .ae worm is saved.
Bv tho wealth which they created, have they
wruu w ue eusiavoa.
They whose Angers gnarled and stunted, bum-
uiuia luuir iusk suuiime,
Bear the sacred ark of progress down the
tbrjnrin path of time.
Work alone hatt sent the steam car plunging
through the prarte vast,
Aud the mighty ocean vessels speeding on be-
Labor wrestled priceless treasures from' the
grim, unyielding hllis.
Crowned the slope with steeplcd elites, gemmed
the stream with fruitful mills:
Work his made tha laughing harvest dimple
every barren plain
Yet the woraman tols unquestioned, and the
spoiler reaps tne gram.
O, the, shame! the deep injustice: they to
wuom uu weai in is nuc:
Forced to drain that bitter cup which only
poverty dulh brew.
Yet the light Is surely breaking! now at last
the lime is ripe. .
Even now a nobler rule U herald by voice and
type.
Ay ! no longer, as of yore, do toilers walk In
mute dlspair.
Yielding In paUieUc silence to the cruel yoke
thev wear.
They bare spoken they have spoken, those
wno con sunering so.
And the world U forced lo listen to Iheli liturgy
ui woe.
O tlie voice of rhrht. once barkened never con
be stilled to re-si
Evil recognize! Is truly evil more than half
reiressed.
Life Is bard the tollers tcU us, O bow sore lbs
aally need !
O bow paltry Is the pittance granted as by
ruiaiess greea:
Often tlm?f we see the shadow of starvation
drawiar near.
Till the era lies turn to eoatns, and the bed be
comes a tiler.
Web.holdour wives and mothers struggling
for the means of life.
TUl they frrow unsexed. unwomaaed la the
ncrce and sjrucc strife.
And we see the haughty spoiler, dwelling in
voluptuous ease.
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.
O the blessed Iticui of day is dimmed by spectres
grim and gaoat:
Grisly shapes of cold and hunger, phantoms of
Impending want.
And we toll in mines and factores till we scarce
ran hold It true.
That tn distant lanes the lillles blossom under
akfesof blue.
O the spoiler owns vast acres: we ore granted
by his (Trace.
At the ead of life's long fortune. Just a narrow
burial place.
It is true ths toller spsCts: nay. m re, the
sUng of all hts pain
Is uial ifarr for whom he labors, view him with
profound dtsdsln.
"Toll ts noble" slnps the poet, and the world
taken op the cry.
But the conduct of the social gives the apoth
egm the He.
O the world's accepted code deny It dreamer
UwujrB you may :
