How My Boy Went Down.

1t was not on the field of battle,
twas not with ship at sea;
But fate far worse than either,
That stole him away from me.
Twas the death in the ruby wnecup
That the and senses drown;
He drank the alluring poison,
And thus my boy went down
Down from the heights of manhood
To the depths and disgrace of sin;
Down to worthless being
From the hope of what might have been.
For the brand of beast besotted
He bartered his manhoods crown;
Through the gate Of sinful pleasure,
My poor, weak boy went down.
iris only the same old story,
That mothers so often tell
With accents of infinite Sadness
Like the tones of funeral bell;
But never thought when heard 1t,
should learn its meaning myself;
thought he'd be true to his mother;
thought he'd be true to himself.
But alas for my hopes, all aeusonl
Alas for his youthful pride!
Alas, who are safe when danger
Is open every side?
Oh, can nothing destroy this great evil?
No bar in their pathway be thrown,
To save from the terrible maestrom,
The thousands of boys going down?

1 BREAK IN THE ALLIANCE.

The alliance is as fairly split wide
open in Oregon as it is elsewhere. Here
as elsewhere we have two parties each
claiming to be the only true Simon pure
alliance article, with two papers or sets
of papers, each claiming to be the only
true exponent of sound-alliance doctrine
and condemning all else besides. On
cranks and ex-preacher, ex-school
teacher, eX:temperance lecturer, ex-ag-
itator, and ex-professor, Rork and his
organ the Northwest Reform Journal
which advocates every form OF lhnancy
known to modern crankdom, while on
the other'we have class represented in
some measure at least by the AIlidnce
Farmer whose editor denounces the
teaching of the Journal and asserts that
no alliance or peoples party convention
i'll the United- States ever endorsed or
countenanced what it calls the fiat
money craze.''l 1t further asserts that the
financial scheme advocated by the Re
form Journal is $50 absurd and ridicu-
luus as to disgrace little children and
could never be seriously considered by
grown up men outside of a lunatic
asylum" For" says the Farmer elf
tile governmet can create three billion
dollars to purchase the railroads OF the
county, without creating debt, it can
go on creating more money to operate
the railroads for all future time without
collecting any charges for freight or pas
sengers; and can also create other. mill
aions, billions trillions of dollars to ad-
minister the government for all future
time without collecting any taxes, to
say nothing of the grand works of i'm
proving the rivers ami harbors, build
ing lighthouses, public buildings. eta.
This fiat money craze is anarchy,
nothing more or less: and if by any
possibility or accident 4 congress could
be got together that would adopt it, it
would be the destruction for the time
being of all confidence among business
men, which would result in civil revo-
lutiSn and armed force which would
oveidhrow such congress in sixty
days.
This is pretty much the light in which
the CHRONICLE views this fiat money
craze but in view of this CONTROVERSY be-
tween the representative organs of the
Oregon alliance. we should like very
much to know what is the teaching of
the farmers alliance any way?

NOT n PARTY ISSUE.


The more one reads and thinks says
IAN exchange regarding the silver .ques-
ton, the more he becomes convinced
that it will hardly become party issue
or one on which either OF the great
parties can unite. Both parties .of the
west are anxious for free coinage, and
really think it preferable even to the
silver law as passed by last congress,
while in the east there is strong senti-
ment against free coinage, and in some
localities to both.
To sum it up, no party can declare in
favor of absolute free coinage, or the OPP
posite, and expect the plank to suit the
entire country, so far as that particular
party is concerned. 1t stands the same
with one as the other, and as winning
is III the minds of all, and stands para
mount to everything else, the silver
question will be passed over like a
white check" The principal bone of
contention will be the tariff, the same as
last presidential canvass. With Cleve-
land on one side and Blaine on the
other, as it bids iair to be, it will be
hard fought battle, particularly with the
tariff and reciprocity questions in the
van.

Eaua1 to the occasion.

Professor Green, of Brown University,
was one of the best teachers in New
England, but he sometimes became so
much interested IN his lecture that when
the noon bell rang he kept the class five
or ten minutes over the hour.
Certain restless spirits in the class
thought they would give the Professor a
gentle hint, SO they bought small
alarm-clock, set it to go off precisely at
noon, and placed in on the Professors
desk when they came in to the next lee
ture. They knew he was little absent
mind ed, and expected that he would not
notice it.
AS the noon hour struck. the alarm
went off with rattling crash, and those
OF the class -ot in the secret started, and
took in the Joke at once. There was a
round of applause.
The Professor waited until the alarm
and the applause were over, and then
said, deliberately:
"Young gentlemen, thank you for
this little gift. had forgotten that it
was my birthday. A clock is something
my wife has also needed in the kitchen
for some time. 1t is avery kind remem-
brance on your part.
The Professor then went on to finish a
demonstration interrupted by the alarm,
and it was ten minutes later than usual
when he dismissed the class He also
took the clock home with him, and the
boys never knew whether he understood
the hint or not; but the probability is
that he did.-Youth's Companion.

Artemus Ward told in one of his
papers of an enthusiastic orator who
wished to take advantage of the gather

the assembly on the subject of the tariff
''if our unfortnit feller-citizen is not in a
hurry" A somewhat similar story
comes from Kansas, where. the Farmers
Alliance and its. platform of principles
are the chief topic of conversation.
A man of rather questionable charac-
ter died in u remote part of Waterloo
township. The nearest preacher was
summoned to preach a funeral sermon.
Not knowing the man, the preacher con-
tented himself by few general remarks
on the solemn nature of the occasion,
and then said he would be glad TO have
any of the company present say word
about the dead man if they desired.
No one moved or spoke, and again the
preacher extended an invitation to the
company to offer remarks, but again his
invitation met with silence.
Finally an old farmer who sat in the
corner of the front room rose and said ::
"If no one has any remarks to make
about the deceased would like to make
a few remarks about the sub-treasury. :"
