A MALICIOUS cRcyLAR-

Capitalists show a greedy fondness
for cornering the wheat market,
and working men are to Doe found
who resort to dishonest methods 10
corner the labor market. In Port
land some such attempt has been
made We learn from the eOrcgonIah
tbat ON Sunday night "a circular
vo. read i'm the trade and labor as
-emblie- Of Chicago, received there
Cd. a communication from Labor As
-emblv no. 522, of Portland, setting
forth that ga combination Of mcr-
chants. bankers, spectators ana
otbcr- at Portland, and throughout
OREGON. had been formed for adver-
Using the state, 80 a. to induce peo-
pla to come here, with the primary
object of -kinning them" This had
been dispatched with the malicious
purpo.e Of having it sent broadcast
over the country as an associated
pres. dispatch, but the Oregonian
promptly ntcrfcred and procured its
rejection.
This was base Oh the part OF
the working men composing the la
bor assembly allowed named, and 1t
really amounted 10 fouling their own
nest. The immigration movement,
which these dispatch writers seem
TO think is confined 10 the money
classes of Portland, extends through
a good portion Of the state, and its
object is not to bring in citymechan-
/ ics either. Vast resources exist in
Oregon, i'm its soil, its favorable ell
mate. and its natural productions,
and ~ the surplus population OF hu-
rope and the eastern states Is flowing
i'm the direction OF tine Pacific coast,
the people of Oregon are putting
forth Il concerted effort to attract
. hithcrward share.
In bringing an inflow Of mmi-
grants it is not tpossible to select the
classes or the nationalitiesyou would
prefer; the invitation is extended to
nll. and the eternal fitness of things
determines what portion shall stay
and thrive and what portion shall
drift ON. But the appeal is specially
addressed to farmers, orchardlstsi
dairymen, small fruit growers, cap
/ italists, aud all classes who can get
along without the agency of others.
store statesmen, clerks, bookkeepers
and all those seeking city employ,
are cautioned that there is no field
for them, the men who are directing
this immigration movement being
careful to hold out no false preten-
ccs.
These members af l.. A. No. 522
/, have therefore taken needless alarm
in supposing the effort Is directed
against their interest, and they hay,
. shown themselves guilty of treach

A MAD MAN
Attempts to Murder His Wife and
Daughter on the Street.

Daughter on the Street.
DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 49, An exciting
shooting affair occurred on Grlswold
street, opposite the City Hall, shortly
after noon today. A commissioners sale
OF property was in progress, the parties
financially concerned being Herman
Luther, his wife and daughter. The
Luthers had been divorced, and the court
recently ordered sale of the land and u
partition Of the proceeds. The property
was first bid in by Luther, but he was I'M
able to make the required deposit, and
the sale was reopened and bid in by Mrs.
Luther. This enraged Luther, and, draw
ing revolver, he began firing at the
woman, who ran shrieking down the
street. Luther followed and fired several
shots without effect AS the daughter
turned the corner OF Michigan avenue she
fell, and as she lay there Luther leveled
his revolver TO shoot, but a young man
grabbed him by the arm Just as the trig-
ger was pulled. The pistol was diverted
from its intended victim and struck man,
one of the spectators, in the knee. AT this
moment Luther was struck in the face
with brick by one Of the crowd Of spec
tators and others wrenched the revolver
away from him. Great excitement pre-
vailed. The crowd dragged Luther into
the middle Of the road, and there were
loud cries OF Lynch him, "kill him,
but the patrol wagon arrived before any
serious injury had been done TO him.

Can't Afford A Gnnd Cow.

A year ago a farmer, living near this
city, lad splendid grade Jersey heif-
er. Two years old, that was giving 81
lbs. of good rich milk day. He was Of
fered $50 for her and sold her. In a
group of farmers c0nversing or the
fact, all but one agreed that the
owner could not afford to keep a COW
worth as much money as he got for
the heifer.
One man dissented and put the ques-
ton before them in the following
sound shape:
You say he can't afford to keep
such cow even though he is a dairy.
man. According to my mind he will
never be anything else than poor
man as long as he pursues that policy.
The cows he generally has, just about
pay for their keeping and they are
worth, say $50 to $40 a piece. Here is
a COW that will give him profit of SIC
year, above the cost of keeping. lie
works hard all the year, and dances at.
tendance on these poor cows just fol
the fun of the thing. and he must KEEP
right along in the same silly rut, be
cause he is poor man. Half the
number of cows he now keeps, if they
were as good as the heifer he sold
would make him a handsome profit and
help make him rich man. Your doc
trine teaches thata poor man should not
show good business sense because he
is poor. and as far as | can see yours is
"a very popular doctrine.

FROM MADISON.
One Of The Lire EssUes-P0ltical Inc
quality between North and South.


In his speech at the opening of the
Republican League Convention in this
city a few weeks ago, Congressman
LaFollette called attention to the
manifest suppression of the RepUbli-
can vote in many of our Southern
States, and insisted that one of the
prominent issues of this Campaign
was the question of ''free ballot and
fair count'-in Georgia as well as
in Wisconsin. He particulariZed by
asserting that ten times as many votes
we're cast in Wisconsin for members
of Congress, as were cast in Georgia.
that the vote cast for our member in
Wisconsin was more than the entire
vote cast for the ten members for
Georgia; and that the gentleman who,
as Chairman of the Committee of
Privileges and Elections in the House,
sits as Judge of the qualifications of
every member who claims an election
as Member of Congress, was elected
upon total vote of less than 1900 in
the district. These assertions were
questioned by many, and branded as
campaign lies by Democrats present
have taken the trouble to collate
few figures from the official vote of
1884 which developes the fact that
Mr.. LaFollette was very conservative
in his assertions, and did not state the
matter as strongly as he might, and
still have had official witness of the
truth of his assertions. The vote, by
Districts, in Georgia and Wisconsin,
for 1894 WAS dS follows.
