A telegram was received by the register
of the land Office last night instruct
ing him to receive no more filings on
forfeited railroad lands until he received
specific instructions from the commits
sioner OF the General Land Office. 1t is
hard to understand why instructions
should be sent out to allow filings and
then as soon as the settlers learned of it,
and came to the office to file, counter
mand the order. The local officers are
OF course powerless to do anything ex-
cept their duty which is to ''obey orders''
but it does look as though the heads of
the departments were not always thor
ough business men. There is no use
making kick or indulging in complaint,
since it does not mend matters. but
there is nothing that we know of pre-
venting the tired settlers who has waited
in some cases twelve years to get title
to his home, and who is again disap-
pointed, from doing as much thinking as
he wants to. The delay will in our opin-
ion be short, but it should not have oc-
cured at all.

A telegram to the Chronicle last night
received too late for publication an
nounced that Governor Pennoyer had in
a message to the legislature strongly
recommended the passage of the portage
railroad bill. The governor is designated
as demagogue, and familiarly called a
crank, yet his stock is going up, and he
is getting there with both feet, and he
gets off right foot foremost too. We
never look gift horse in the mouth, and
consequently care not what object the
governor has, we realize and appreciate
the effect. Politics have taken a queer
turn in Eastern Oregon in the past
month, and party lines have been pretty
well abolished. The Eastern Oregon
citizen recognizes but two parties, the
one that is willing to show it's sympathy
and lend its aid to Eastern Oregon; and
the one that is not, and they will vote
next year. as the other fellows shoot.

vigorous language: "Under the Ian

From sooietx to sooi.1I.,n.

Speaking of ministers reminds ne OF
a little story beard recently. Hugh o.
Pentecost, who started out as Baptist
preacher, broke away from his church,
ran for mayor of Newark, N. j., and is
now editor of Twentieth Century. He
married very prominent society girl of
Hartford, Conn, about ten years ago.
Their wedding was a very swell affair
Afterward Mr.. Pentecost accepted pull
pit in Brooklyn at salary of SO 900 a
year. Everything seemed bright for the
young couple. The wife was handsome
and popular, the preacher was eloquent,
earnest and successful.
A few nights ago some old friends of
Mrs. Pentecost, who had known her in
the days when she shone as a society
belle, went to hear her husband address
a crowd of workingmen on the east side
Imagine their astonishment when Mrs.
Pentecost came out on the stage and, at.
tired in most striking garb, sang to the
assemblage revolutionary song. She
has been most loyal wife. She has sun
ported her husband in every step he has
taken, and has been of great service to
him in his rather peculiar career. Con-
s1dering her former life as a society
woman, her present career as singer of
socialistic songs is picturesque

For lovers of condiments and highly
spiced dishes it is simple thing to work

different article by adding pinch of
celery sauce, a dish of curry, or horse
radish, few drops of caper or Worces-

mustard.

The action of the king of France whu
marched up the hill with 10, 900 men
and then marched down again, seems t.
have a serio-comic parallel in the nd
venture Of Governor Buchanan and his
troops in Tennessee.
The whole business looks very much
like a popular uprising or revolution
Time and again, in history citizen sol
diers have fraternized with the people
when the latter took a determined stand
for the redress of their grievances. 1t
was so in this Coal Greek affair. The
miners, to state the issue broadly, re-
fused to submit to the exclusion of IA
part of their number from a certain
mine and the substitution of convicts.
They started a movement to capture the
convicts and their guards and ship them
to Knoxville, when Governor Buchanan
hastily ordered three companies of state
troops to the scene of the disturbance.
Then occurred for several days a sue
cession of alternately exciting and hu-
morous incidents. The governor made
a speech that was heard in sullen silence,
and then went elsewhere to attend to his
official business. In the meantime the
soldiers, young fellows from Chatta-
nooga and Knoxville, were by no means
spelling for a fight. They were some
thing over 100 in number, and the miners
opposed to them were six or eight hun
dred strong, armed with Winchesters
and revolvers. Clearly the troops could
not fight against such odds. Then the
soldiers were without tents, blankets
camp equipage, and their rations were
insufficient.
In n very short time the miners made
1t understood hat they would shed no
blood, but would remain on the spot.
n after the departure of the militia
proceeded to carry put their plans. I'm
der no circumstances would they allow
free white miners to be discharged to
make room for leased convicts.
The soldiers in a few days got these
ideas into their heads, and finally came
to the conclusion that the miners were
in the right. Having reached this point,
fighting was out of the question. With
o a battle, OF even a skirmish, the
state troops surrendered, and allowed
themselves to be shipped, with the con-
victs and their guards, to Knoxville,
leaving the brave mountaineers in pos
session of the bloodless field.-Atlanta

The worst forms of Catarrh disap-

The oubles of the Eastern association
are becoming more conspicuous every day.
The ideal minor league Is yet to be found.
The same spirit Of jealousy and party feel
ing exists in the Junior rs well as in the
major leagues; in some cases to even a
greater extent. When baseball can be put
upon a purely business basis 1t will be a
better thing for the club owners at large.
A league OF the scope Of the new eastern
organization ought to be run at "A profit for
at least four OF the eight clubs. AS IL is
run at present not two clubs will make any
money. That wise and judicious effort
made by the National league to equalize
the playing strength OF all the teams
should be followed by the smaller organl.
E%ations, 1t required years of untiring la
Dor and diplomacy for the League to nc
complish this result. 1t has accomplished
1t now, as the wonderful even struggle Of
the eight clubs this year amply testihes.
Never in the history OF baseball was a
championship struggle so evenly contested
as 1t Is this year, for here is the season hall
over and yet 1t IL decidedly a difficult task
to name the winner or any place club.
This time In past seasons the clubs have
been strung out at a great distance apart,
and the pennant question was generally
left to about two clubs. In the Eastern
league the Buffalo. New Haven and Syru-
cuse teams were entirely TOO last Tor the
other clubs. while the Buffalo club today
is strong enough to make a good show in
the American association race. Pat Pow
ers' men might even make some OF the
National league teams exert themselves.
or course nobody blames Powers for get
ting together the strong team which now
represents Buffalo. II he was shrewder
than the rest that is the Others fault; but
still 1t would be better for everybody II
combined action was made to bring all the
teams down to equal playing strength.

The labor unions of Chicago intend to
build a labor temple, a structure to cost
$500 900. The various unions now pay
annually $50, 900 for hall rent. The prof.
ect of having halls of their own has
been discussed for several months. Re-
Gently they have agreed to work to-
gether in the construction of a building
of their own. A prominent real estate
man has been authorized by them to Sc
cure a desirable down town location by
purchase or lease for the labor temple.
He was told to keep it secret, but the
fact became known.
The idea is to make of the temple a
steel structure to take rank among the
most imposing down town buildings of
the city. AS the matter stands the
unions are now scattered all over the
city. When the new temple is com
pleted they will all be given a home.
The project is not designed to be a
money making one, but merely to fur
nish a home for union labor. A mass
meeting of the representatives of the $50
unions of the city will be called to take
steps to raise the funds necessary to the
construction of the labor temple.-Chi-
cage Tribune.

of Charles Booths Labor and Life of
the People," which has just been pub

authority the number of inhabitants in
London who are so poor that even their
cats are starved amounts to Z per cent.
of the population. Those in STANDARD
poverty constitute 90 per cent. of the
people. The families ranked as Com
Portable" belonging to the decent work
ing class, amount to 81 per cent. 1t APP

frequent instances Of poverty are not to

percentage of poverty in any one area is
between Blackfriars and London bridge.
The next highest percentage is at Green

The serious accident to Collins and
Burns at Eastern park recently was a de-
cidedly unfortunate occurrence, but one
under the circumstances which could not
be avoided. 1t seems that some arrange
ment or instrument should be made to
be used in a desperate The
noise aud excitement at the time OF the
collision was so great that probably neither
player were able to hear the warning shouts
Of his fellow players and the commands Of
his captain. 1t might be a good plan to
add to the umpire's outfit a robust whistle.
Let all ball players understand that when
this whistle blows a collision Is immi-
nent, and they could drop suddenly to
the ground or stop. II Lynch had had
such a whistle he would have had plenty
OF time TO nave used 1t and avoided
the terrible collision, Some people may
favor the plan OF the captain having
such a whistle, but the captain himself is
In just as much danger OF collision as most
any OF the other players, especially where
the noise and excitement is great. Base
ball is too good a game to nave any such
unnecessary risks around.
