TUK COMMI8IOX BUSTA1NED. The Marlou county Farmers' Al liance at Its regular monthly session In Salem, Saturday, suatulued the Oregon railroad commission in its fight to enforce the law hy an unanimous vote. There was a largo attendance, twelve sub alliances be ing represented. The farmers pres ent aro average farmers at least In Intelligence, and more than average men In public spirit to come loug distances over bad roads to consider their own aud the public welfare. As disinterested citizens and taxpayers they aro entitled to respect to say the least Their vote to sustain tho commission means a great deal more than the expression of any newspaper or of any party. ' They speak aaaion partisans and from no political standpoint. Their endorsement of the commission is not of Its work tunny partisan sbnso, but ns faithful public servants Booking honestly and fairly to enforco tho state law to regulato rates of freight over n common carrier. Ju this Btato. The alllauce endorses Mr. Colvlg, n Republican, Mr. Clow, n Demo crat, because it believes them to bo earnest and fearless mou, not to be intimidated by corpornto power. Of Mr. Hamilton not so much Is known yet, but thero Is every reason toTbehevo that he will fully, fairly ami Intelligently dls charge his duty to tho people. Ills record so far Is good. Tho notion of the Marion county alHanco In en dorsing tho railroad commission when It does good work for tho peo ple is commendable. It should bo followed up by tho county grange and all bodres organized. The com mission is fightlug tho battle of tho producer and of tho people and deserves to be sustained. VIIAT ELKUTKU HOIKS. Tho Cedar Rapids, In., Times Is one of tho oldest and most faithful of Republican newspapers. In re gard to Governor Boies' statement that Iowa furmojs had been raising corn nt a loss, that paper says: "It matters not how widely we may diiTer with Goyernor Holes on this question in tho main, It cannot bo denied that on many essential points he had tho better of tho argu ment, at least sufllclcnt to oonvluco tlio farmers thnt ho mndotho declar ations in their interests, and that Iu making them ho did not desire to depreclato the general interests of (ho state; but to contribute, to their welfare as a class; that he was In true sympathy wlih their real or supposed grievances. Farmers aro of opinion that they receive but little sympathy or aid from mun in high places, and when 11 man occu pying tho position occupied by Governor Holes champions their cause, proclaims and defends their real or Imagined grievances, it Is not to bo woudered at that they rushed to his support." Ol'KNTIIIS WIM.AMUTTK. A Willamette valley exchange has these items: The Salem Jouknaij continues to Cuncture tho Hermann boom, ft Is ecommg ouxlous to know why Dinger has uot dono something for tho Willamette rlvor i Tho Independence West Bide, alleged Democratic, favors Dinger Hermann for congress, for the alleged reuson that the West Hide wants an open Willamette river. As Dinger has been iu congress eight years and dono nothing for the Willamette tho alleged reason Iiuh great weight. Mr. Hermann and his organs are at liberty to show in what respect his labors have helped keep open the Willamette. Thoy aro at liberty to show how long It Mill take Mr. Hermann lu congress to do any. thing for the opening of tlili river. One half tho people of this district live lu the Willumetto valley. They aro tired of a cougres&man who cuti get 1 2,000,000 for Coos bay to help Portland real estate speculators bell salt marshes at fabulous prlw, but who cannot help them keep their rlvuropen. WHAT HTJIK TAXf The JoiiHMAb Is also for "freo sugar," which I another test of IU Republicanism. That Is truly one thing to that party' credit; when It U driven from owry jhmUIoii it falls back on sugar. True, the abolishment of the duty on taiga r, all at once, gave the Republican party au excuse for plundering the people by keeping up the high tariff taxes ou a multitude of other thing. Doing for "five sugar," and standing by the McKlnley bill, means the approval of Increased taxes oo woolen aud oo'.tou good, on glass, tin, nud many other ncees sanei. P.irihtod lYlsgram.

When tho Democratic papers apeak of the tarlir us n tax tboy mean it Is n tax on tho American retail buyer. Will tho Telegram plenso nnmo any articles of woolen, cotton, glass, or tin, or nny othor necessaries that are higher In retail prlco tlmu they were a year ago ? PORTLAND VS. ASTORIA. The Astorlan of Astorln nays: "Whenever Portland gets n little riled, which Is whenever any of her pet Interests llko murder, robbery, official corruption, tho ruloof nialo and female prostitutes In her local politics, are assailed, she always emits two howls onols that Astoria has no business with or for a custom house; the other Is that tho British vice consulship at Astoria ought to bo taken away. Tho exlslcuco of thoso two institutions and tho con sciousness that Tho Astorlan can uot bo bought nor bribed nor bullied are constant grievances to tho larg est city north of San Francisco. "It would bo better If wo could dwell lu peaco and work together. Time nud ugnln tho Astorlan has extended tho ollvo branch aud tried to have a llltlo reciprocity. But a sullen Jealousy and u smould ering hate, vuujust and unmanly, constantly .characterizes Portland's attitude toward Astoria. Deleudo est Carthago, Is our big neighbor's constant attitude toward Astoria. Would it were otherwise. "Had this thing happened lu Portland the Oregoulan would have suppressed It aud glared and called names at any oue having the tern merity to chronicle it; had It hap pened lu San Francisco, It would have but half a dozen lines along with tho rapes and murders nud robberies; but happeulug in Astoria, though condemned by Astorlaus, the occasions was too good to bo allowed to go unheralded, and as much was mado of it as possible. That is the solo reason for the public ity accorded It, gloss It as tlioy may." Astoria should know better than expect fair treatment at tho hauds of Portland's Oregoulan. Does it not represent Portland'u capital? What friendship docs Astoria ex pect from Portland capital ? SVGOKSTKU flOMMKNT. Albany has Just had a double wedding. fc. Lebanon Is trying to enforce Ore gon's strict Sunday law. Farmers should refuse to spend their time passing resolutions, run ning third parties and trying to beat tho politicians at their own game. Thero is plenty of good practical work for farmers to take hold of. Tho aggregate electoral vote of tho states of KuiBas, Nebraska.

When tho the claims bocomo too heavy the association collapses. ! J No wonder the Minneapolis mil lionalre wheat operator Is casting wistful eyes on tho Willumetto vulloy. Dy tho operations of tho Portland grain trust and tho Ore gonluu'a quotations tho farmers nro robbed leu cents u bushel ou their entire crop. An exchange says "u prominent citizen of fcjalom luw otlered to glvo toOOO for tho founding of n public library iu that city, provided tho Alka-Hcspcrlan Library society will rise $1000 for tho same purpose."

A five-stamp mill Is to bo erected In Okanogan county on Slnlahekln creek, near Coucomilly. Tho Out look states that If after thorough trial, It proves successful, n mill of greater capacity will bo erected. Tho work douo In improving the Hnako river this fall Is thoroughly appreciated by ranchers who trans port their grain to market over this waterway. It Is estimated that at least 80,000 tous of gralu aro now piled ou tho banks awaiting ship ment.

At a lata hour Saturday night Cal vin Tracy and Joseph Gordon, two coal minors, were arrested, and at an early hour Suuday morning James T. McKlbbon, lato editor of tho Brotherhood of Labor at this place, aud subsequently editor and pub lisher of tho Liberator, of Bprlng llold, was arrested on his farm near town. Boon after daylight the nows of tho arrest began to spread, aud the caiso was subsequently made known to the public. Tho prisoners woro kept separated, closely guarded by deputlos, and Tracy and Gordon, during tho day, completely wilted, aud nut only confessed being con cerned lu and being parties to crimes with whloh thoy wore ohurged, but also admitted n conspiracy to blow Up tho largo stouo building of II. It. Hull, of this placo. Thoy alio stated that McKlbbon was tho leader, and that tho postoftlco nud J. L. Rauertsou's stpro, E. L. Ills coo's hack burn uud a largo number of sheds of Ingersoll &, Co., were also to bo reduced to ashes by them, with tho chances thnt most of tho town would be burned before tue tiro could bo subdued. Several flno resldouccs and largo barns have Jieen, burned In this locality durlug the yoar, evidently the work of lnccndl- , urlcs. Amongtheso buildings were Col6uol N. B. Morrison's and Blkea Hurd's residences aud Judito Vaughau'a nndox-ShorliTr3amuel It. Corrlgau's barns. Nows of tho arrest soon spread and hundreds of farm ers gathored from tho surrounding country, Including men whose prop, erty hud been burned. Looks of determination weru visible In tho faces of the last named, uud when tho prisoners were brought beforo Squire L. C. Ruby for u preliminary Hearing, tho largo skating ring whoro the conrt conveuod wus tilled with people. The hearing, however, Was postponed. It appears that a secrot organization Is Iu existence, among the objects of which Is tho destructlou of propoity, If not ltyes. Certain persons aro selected because of some reason known only to the members of tlio organization. Bev erul weeks ago, according to the statement of one of tho prisoners, the store building of H. It. Hall wus selected to bo blown up. Oue of the iielf-coufessed culprits, being a friend to Mm. Hall. Informed him of what was In store for his building. Mr. Hall took Into his confidence several trusty citizens here, and for tio past two weeks thoso men havo kept wutch oyer property in towu. Several times thoy could have cap tured part of the gang, but thoy delayed, hoping to grit all of them. Haturduy night, howover, thoy deemed It best to tako lu the parties whom they now havo under arrest. At the trial It Is asserted some very startling developments will come to light In reference to tho matter. McKlbbon declares ho Is Innocent, and that In due tlmo he will so convince tho public. He was, for a number of years, principal of tho public schools here, also In Patoka, ten mile north of this placo, and ho was supervisor from hero last year. Of recent years he has been n prominent member of tho alllauce, and Fanners' Mutual Benefit Asso ciation; at nno time, two years since, being stato business aireutof thu lat tor association.
