become sufficiently familiar with the
style of the official state paper" to
render a tolerably fair imitation
Prohibition, the great bone of conten-
tion, is likely to be dropped, and it is
proper that these twin representa-

the great impending contest. They

THE DEFEAT OF HALL AND MALLS
TER.

| Inc Q0L0AG OF u. y. uAIl III tn'
Missouri State Alliance has long beer
anticipated by those who were in any
way familiar with the situation IL
that state. The supporters Of the
sub-treasury plan have scored q vic
tory at every turn Of the wheel. They
have elected all OF the officers Of the
State Alliance and all of the delegates
to the Supreme Council.
Reading the headlines to the press
dispatches in the old party papers
one would be led to believe If be
believed anything found in those pa.
pers-thst the anti-sub-treasury men
had scored a great triumph. Their
own dispatches, however, give the lie
to their headlines, and reliable infor-
nation from the Missouri Alliance
shows that they have absolutely
gained nothing. The committee on
resolutions stood eight for the sub
treasury and four against it, and In
ssmuch as the sub-treasury men had
all the ofies and all the delegates to
the National Council, they were in q
position to offer a compromise that
would satisfy their opponents while
it in no way compromised them. They
consented to refer this measure back
to the county and sub-Allisnces for
further discussion. Instead OF being
q victory for Mr.. Hall, and what the
Democratic press of Missouri is
pleased to term ''the conservative ele-
ment of the Alliance" this action is
simply an evidence OF the conservs-
tism of the sub-treasury advocates.
They were in a position to have car
ried their resolutions as at first re-
ported by a majority of the commit
tee, but they knew that further study
was all that was necessary to insure
unanimous endorsement hereafter,
and they therefore wisely decided to
refer this part of the platform back
to the sub-Alliances. These Alliance
people are great fellows to harmonic
differences, and the grand split that
was prophesied by the enemies of the
movement failed to materialize.
The sub-tressury plan will lose
nothing by further discussion. Op-
position to it comes from those who
know least about it in every instance
and the very fact of its reference
back to the sub-Alliances will result
in a more careful study of it than il
has ever before received in Missouri
In Mississippi W. S. McAllister
has been fired bodily by the State AL
lance. He is not only an uncompro-
missing Democrat, but a rascal as we'll,
and the Mississippi Alliance did well
to get rid of him entirely. His appli-
cation for membership in the Ma
tional Reform Press Association was
rejected at the organization in Flor
ida, because he was even then re-
garded as paid tool of the enemy,

Henry Wizards Experience With Seattle
Railroad Men.
Henry Willard, the railway magnate,
while in Seattle Tuesday, says the Press
Times, visited most OF the railway offices
in the city. He walked up to the coun-
ter of the down town Northern Pacific
ticket office and said to Ticket Agent
Johnson, who had not the slightest idea
that he stood in the presence of the
highest official on the road.
''Give me ticket to Boston over the
Canadian Pacific"
canadian Pacific's blocked laconi-
cllly responded Johnson.
Don't believe it," said Willard.
''Fact," affirmed Johnson.
"How?'' inquired Willard.
.'Mountain fell on track, cutting tun-
mel half mile long"
ssI'll investigate, said the financier,
as he asked Mr.. Jacob Furth TO await his
return, and started over to the Canadian
Pacific Office.
Agent McGinnis looked up from his
books, but did not recognize Willard.
want to go to Boston over the North
ern Pacific, said Willard briefly.
Cant do it, said McGinnis.
"Why?"
"Four feet of sand on the road at
Pasco, Lake Pended Oreille overlowed
and Indians on the war path in Dakota. J"
Anything else?'
''Yes. Gang of train robbers near
Helena. Prohibition in force in Dakota
and a strike on the eastern division"
"Jewhillkers," exclaimed Willard.
Think I'll go and try the Union Pacific
then. That's all right, amt it?"
:Yes, that's all right" sarcastically
observed McGinnis, who stopped tele-
phoning to johnson for assistance.
That's all right, said, continued Nc
Ginnis again, with sort of lost-hope
move of the hand as his supposed Gus
toner was about to leave.
"What do you mean?" inquired Viii
lard.
''Oh, nothing. Go on and take the Z.
P. You'll see time enough if you see
through it,"
''Oh, good morning, Mr.. johnson, -
said McGinnis, greeting his ally as if he
/ had not seen him for Il month. "Haye
you any tidings of your father yet.
Would you mind telling this gentleman
what you know about him?"
Johnson, after struggling with his
feelings and wiping away several imagi-
nary tears, spoke up, sorrowfully:
''It pains me to speak of it, but my
| father started west six months ago over
the Union Pacific. He died on the way,
of course, and we hope to receive his
corpse before Christmas"
"Well done boys" said Willard after a
hearty laugh. and handed the agent his
card.
"When the Canadian Pacific fails to
appreciate your services, come over and
see Mr.. McGinnis.
Johnson he said, laying his hand
on that gentleman's shoulder, ''some
day you will take my place.

spanish Anarohists celebrate.

MADRID, Nov. 13,-The anarchists of
this city met last night at a banquet,
and made speeches in memory of the
Chicago anarchists. The same pro-
gramme was followed at Barcelona,
Cadiz and other important cities of the
peninsula. Sunday last there were
violent demonstrations of anarchist
character in various places in Spain and
in Cadiz. Attempts were made to de-
stroy public buildings with dynamite.
Several persons accused OF taking part
in the outrage were arrested and i'm

The Salem Journal says: Land suit
able for cemeteries is scarce in Eastern

to equal that? Why we have millions

ant qualification that y man buried here

you are an eloquent apostle of the land
of portable cemeteries and wandering
grave yards. Do you mean to say that
the wind in Eastern Oregon will blow
all the sand off Il mans grave and then
move his mortal remains two to five
thous and feet up the mountains? That
is a beautiful way to get the start of
the Willamette valley people who have
a habit of staying where they are

The pious editor of the Journal must
have singular forgetfulness of his early
training when he does not remember
that tie only mere man that ever went
to heaven at all went by the way that
he seems to decry. Elijah went up to
heaven in whirlwind and the incon-
venience OF little sand on the way
made the end cf the journey all the
sweeter. We're going to heaven by the
good old way, Brother Hofer, but alas
for the Webfooter, who, even by the con-
fession of the Journal, has ''habit of
staying where he is planted"
