Why fuse? To fuse with either of the old : - i -' " parties means death to the reform movement. We 'will celebrate the Fourth wit? a double vim this year, for the People's ' "Party in convention at Omaha will prepare to nanie a president on that day. AV the People's Party elected ight representatiyes and two ' state penatorz at the late election, it will be seen that the part7 intends to have a little to say in the legisla tive halls of Oregon. . . . It has been suggested to up .that jye pubjjsh the democratic and republican platforms side by Bide and swap the heading, putting the democrat head over the republican platform and vice versa and offer a prize to the 'first person who no ticed the difference. Verily, these platforms are rivals of the Siamese Intuitively the names of Wea ver and Watson seem linked as paturaliy as though every state convention in tho land had in strncted their delegates to vote for these men. That thev will be the standard bearers - of the People's Party we have no reasonable doubt, and every one whom we ha.'e ap- firoached en this subject seem of he saine opinion. They are good men and true and. are deserving of the honor in every respect. Fc8iox with the democrats is alked of .in Oregon that is, the Pregonian is talking about it. To fuse with the, democrats in Ore gon would be the greatest mistake he People's Party ever made, pould we blame erstwhile, republi cans for withdrawing from Dur ranks if our party was to. make a combination with the democrats? Any sensible person can see this and no People's Party man fit to be heard will ever sanction fusion. Keep in the middle, of the road, GOV. PENNOYER'S EDORSE ' ',V ; . MENT. 'The ppminaljpn of Cleveland was effected by Wall-sreet pluto crats," said poyernor Pennoyei; a few dayi ago. "With Harrison and Cleveland as candidates, thy re playing tha old game with the people of 'heads we win, tails we Jose.' Their schemes are 'safe with either, and they can laugh- in their sleeves, while the two parties be labor c&ch. other on the tariff ques- tion. Cleveland is a tariff tinker instead of a tariff reformer, as every rnan of sense knows that no reduction of tariff taxation can be made without supplying the. bulk .of the needed - revenue from , some other mode, such as an income tax, which he has never proposed. In none of his messages has" he ever alluded to the injustice of our present financial system or to the opposition of corporate, power. Under his administration $59,000, 000 of government money was dis tributed among the national banks without interest, from which they derived great profit from the people. And after congress had appointed a committee, without executive suggestion, to investigate thetatus of the debt that the Union and Central Pacific roads owed the. government, he favored the major ity report, made in the conformity to the interests of those roads, instead of the minority report of Gov. Pattison in the interest of the government and its people. He has won the support of selfish capitalists by entering to their demands, while at the same time he has secured the confidence of others by propositions in favor of reform. Even his tariff suggestions were made with a view of not dis trubing the profits of wealthy pro tected manufacturers. Judging his record," not his propositions, by the Jeffersonian test, Cleveland is a plutocrat, not a democrat." Taubeneck's Silver A21ie3. St. L,Otris, Juna 56. E. P. Tnube noctc. Chairman of the People's Party National Executive Committee, was questioned to-day regarding the party's prospects. He said as to tha silver- producing- fcU!es during the corainr campaign: trom correspondence! 1 am receiving, especially from Color ado, - neither Harrison or Cleveland can poll over nve per cent of tacir respective party votes. That holds true m every luii'injj btate. 1 think that the convention called by delegates from Colorado at the Chicago Conven tion will repudale both the Chicago nominee and the platform and com bine with tha Omaha Convention." War in Wyoming. Cheyenne (Wyo.), Juna 2G Demo crats held a rousing ratiScation meet ing hare last night. At ths same time, in another hall, s county convention of the People's Party was in session. The iatt?r seems to draw about equally from the ranks of the old political or ganizations Five delegates to the State convention wero earned and resolutions for free silver were adopted. This the first appearance of the Peo ple's Party in the State arena. They will make a determined fight ou the republican ad-.ninist ration and on Senators' Carey acd Warren. They will claim that the mid on Johnson cciyity was known in advance to the party leaders and that the State's "rep resentatives at' Washington arc con trolled by Eastern sentiment, ' omaha cojrv3rrion.

The Coli seum, which is to ba used aa a hall for ths People's Party National Conven tion, is in tha ban'ds of mechanics, and aiangcments are rapidly approaching completion.

The local Grand Army Post prnpQoQ to have an iraminsc " camp, where they will take care of Confedoc aV) veterans who como to the conven tion. Citizens are arranging for an old-fashioned spread-eagle Fourth of July celebration. In many respects the convention will be unique. It has no precadents to be guided by and it is thought confus ion may result. Who will preside is matter of doubt. There is some gossip attending the distribution of admission tickets, it beini; repeated that mem bers of the older parties will secure control of the tickets and pack the con vention with heelers to turn it into a farce. V. O. Strickler, acting for Tau beneck, says tbere is no foundation for this report, as the convention will be almost wholly within the control of the People's' Party. Woodville Items. J. Shearer, of Grants Pass, paid Woodville a call Tuesday. Miss Ida Sherrill, of Wimer, is vis iting Mary Henderson, near town. Mrs. W. V. Jones spent Saturday and Sunday visiting- relatives at Bolt.

They have been doing a great deal of practicing, and the celebration would not be complete without them. D. Bloomer and family started for Eugene Monday morning. It was their intention to 'start sooner but Mrs. Bloomer and Miss Terice have both been quite sick, which delayed them. Dick SchefQin returned to his home in Los Angeles last week. He was in very poor health, and his brother Ed. accompanied him as far as San Fran cisco, where he was so much better that Ed. came back to Woodville.

The envy shown by other baking powder manufacturers of the great prestige of the Roval Baking l'ow- iler is not at all surprising. For thirtv vears ihc Knval has been the standard for purity and strength in baking powders, and has been plaod at the head by o3icial examiners whether Slate or Normal The Royal Baking Towder Coni- p:inv controls its own cream oi tartar factorv and the prinress for making the only chemically pure cream of tnrtar. It sends its pro duct to millions of homes all over the world, supplies the Army and Navy, tho great transatlantic steamers, the finest hotels and restaurants, and is recommended by the Lest shefs and authorities on cuisine in every land. Its sale i3 rger than that of all other cream of tartar baking powders combined; it has more friends among house keepers than any other similar article. These facts arc doubtless bitter ness to the makers of the inferior baking powders. Talent Shavings. Hurrah for the Sot'rnEltN OREGON Mail.

ThU mean thAt thrrv that much mora moco Uirrouwl iluui lh property was north. The above comment. U-ing quoted njv frovingly by the irulotlytic orjniu of Eta! wart Republicanism of this city may be fairly quoti-d as voicing the Sentiment of Itrpublican reirty leailtrrs of this county and state. They have been driven to this extremity in their vain cfTort to cover np the crime of con traction of the ennvuev. for which th-ir par:y is responsible. Rthrr than ac knowledge the truth, they prefer tocon ttnd that the owners of ihc fai-uis. the appraisers who certified to property val ues coder oath, no well as lin areata who negotiated acd gunranlwd the loans, all coupired to dvfrar.J the men who loaned the money Likewise that tho money loaner was jnst bix enuuli fool to allow them to do it. And yet. by proclaiming to the world that Kan sas, with its $bt.-i.OOu.C00 or mortgages, is largely peopled by knaves who will not pay their debt, these blindly partly san leaders absurdly claim to be help ing "to redeem the credit of the state." Not content with evicting farmers from their homes, Uirr add insult to injur)' by proclaiming Uiat the bone and sinew of our stato have "swindled the loan companies." Ought not Shylock to be content with the deed to the property he agreed tu receive iu cao bis bond was forfoit? Why then should he hold over the heads of his victims a jndgment which threatens to take from them all their future earnings until usurious de mands are fully satisfied? Shylock takes no rijka in any -of tho vicissitudes of life ill health or acci dent, drought or Hood, wind or storui. chinch bngs or grasshoppers his bond secures him against all these. He has moreover so manipulated the finances that even a good crop brings the farmer no surplus cash.

The modern t?ylock ont.shylocks the one of whom Shakespeare wrote, for he hires lickspittle editors to goad the vic tims of his malice to desperation by heaping epithets on their disinherited heads, falsely representing that "the plutocrat is really tho victim." That these editors are woll up in the part thoy have learned to play is evident from the language they use "shiftless." "worked some joint." Vborrowed to speculate." "nfilicted with statesmanship." "loan companies have been mighty clover,'' "bellowing for government aid." "curb stone regulating tho affairs of the world."
