THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES.

The organizations which sent dele
gates to the recent st. Louis conven-
tion are already discussing third party
presidential candidates. The San Fran
cisco Bulletin says that General james
B. Weaver, of Iowa, seems to be the
favorite so far. He has the prestige
of having made one campaign for the
presidency. in 1880, as the candidate
of the Greenback party, in which he
polIed 306,2l9 votes in the whole
country. Of the other candidates
mentioned, Ignatius Donnelly, of Min
nesota, is the most prominent. He
has been congressman without dis
playing any marked ability, but is
chiefly known as sort of literary
crank. He published some pseudo
scientific books which excited the
smiles of scientists, but his effort to
find cryptogram in Shakespeare's
works which would fix upon Bacon as
the author is his only literary work
which has ever excited serious atten-
tion, and even that has been relegated
to the domain of eccentric authorship.
Lately he has made himself somewhat
prominent in advocating the new party
movement.
L. L. Polk, of North Carolina, has
come into notice in connection with
the presidency of the Farmers ALI
arce. He has yet to show of what
stuff he is made.
We all know Senator Stanford's as
pirations, but his candidacy is hardly
probable. His somewhat celebrated
advocacy of the Argentine system of
finance is his only claim upon the third
party. Since it has been made to ap-
pear that The passage of his promised
measure would euable railroads of the
country to borrow government funds
at low rates of interest to an almost
unlimited extent, the philanthropy of
this financial scheme. has been some
what discredited.
7. V. Powderly, the Grand Master
Workman of the Knights of Labor, is
we'll known to the country in connec-
tion with the great organization of
which he is the head. He has shown
himself to be conservative and judi
cious in handling. important public
interests, and has developed good or
ganizing and administrative qualities.
Possibly he might be antagonized by
rival labor organizations.
The last of those mentioned as
probable candidates is Anson ].
Streeter, of Illinois. Streeter is an
other ex-president candidate, having
polled l45,96l votes as candidate of
the United Labor party in 1888.
That fact will, no doubt, give him
some prestige in the race. Possibly
other men may come to the front be-
tween now and the assembling of the
third party convention. 1t is fa-
rniliar fact that such movaments are
apt to bring forward new men, and
sometimes to draw to them the allie
glance of disappointed members of
'ther parties, who think they see
promise of preferment.

SLIGHTLY SARCASTIC.


The Oregonian correspondent at
Washington, apparently under the die
tation of the Oregon congressional
delegation, furnishes that paper with
the following regarding the oppor-
tunies offered for Eastern Oregon to
select its own representative IN con-
gress at the coming election:
If the people of The Dalles, Id Ore
gon, will take little advice regarding
the Improvement proposed at that
place for the benefit of the Columbia
river, the Oregoaaaaa correspondent
will freely give it to them. For sew
years past both senators and repre-
sentatives from Oregon have been
doing everything they could to secure
improvementof the Upper Columbia,
especially the improvement at The
Dalles. During this time it is known
the people Of The Dalles have been
Freely criticising the delegation in
congress, and asserting that the mem
bers have not been doing what they
should to secure this improvement.
Now there is an opportunity for the
people of EasterR Oregon to elect a
representative to congress. Hereto
fore the trouble has always been in the
house of representatives. In the sen
ate Mr. Mitchell has been able to
secure the passage of his boat railway
bill, but the house would not listen to
it, neither would the house listen to
the project of Mr.. Hermann for the
portage railway around The Dalles
obstruction.
The opportunity of the people OF
The Dalles is ripe, on account of the
additional congressman, which should
by all means come from the people of
The Dalles, to get through their boat
railway bill and the appropriation for
locks and dams and portage railway.
Of course, the people of The Dalles
know this can be done. They have
said so time and again, alleging If
proper work was done by the repre-
sentatlves in congress there need be no
trouble. Here is the best opportunity
which has ever been offered to the
community to secure what they want.
1t has been held that Hermann, being
from Southern Oregon and the SEN
ators from Portland, they did not care
to have this Improvement pushed
through, and were lighting the inter
ests of Eastern Oregon. But now the
opportunity offers for congressman
to come from Eastern Oregon. 1t
would probably be better to have a
representative from the city of The
Dalles, who can tell the river and
harbor committee, and convince that
body that the Improvement should be
made, and who can talk the matter up
on the floor of the house and pass it.
With almost unanimous consent the
people of Eastern Oregon should select
a man from The Dalles to come do wn
here and put through this great work
which has been so long neglected.

Entirely without Foundation.

WASHINGTON March "A correspon-
dent of New York paper sent from here
yesterday sensational story that there
had been consultation among the
Chinese diplomats and that it was agreed
between the minister and his government
that If the Geary or Stump Chinese bill
passed congress the Chinese government
would adopt retaliatory policy and
would expel all Of the American mission
aries now IN China. 1t was further stated
the Chinese legation had caused this to
be made known to our state department.
1t turns out there Is absolutely no truth
in the story.

Riotins in TripolI.

LONDON, March IA dispatch from
Tripoli announces there has been serious
rioting there, growing out of the issuing
of a firman by the sultan, making the
natives liable to conscription, from which
they were hitherto exempt. One thous-
and Arabs assembled outside the walls of
the city demanding a withdrawal of the
firman. The Arabs had an encounter
with the troops, several beng killed and
many wounded. Europeans living in the
vicinity have taken refuge in the city.
Business is suspended.

The Greek Cabinet Resigns.

ATHENS, March 1.-The Greek cabinet
has resigned and the king has summoned
Trlcoupis to form ministry. This will
bring to an end the proceedings taken by
the Delyannis ministry to impeach Tri-
coupis, formerly prime minister.
The greatest excitement is caused by
the resignation of the ministry No
definite information Is at present obtain :
able as to the causes which led TO the
crisis, but 1t is known that the king re-
quested the cabinet to resign. The min.
listers declined to voluntarily accede to
the kings request, as they have major
lty in the chamber OF deputies.

proper time and nominate him If they
can swing enough votes to do 1t. Their
arguments are that Rusk is popular with
the farmers, and therefore would be a
great vote getter, that he has had ex-
perience enough in public affairs to show
he is man of ability and capacity. 1t
is argued that if Jerry is put forward in
the convention he could weaken Harrison
where Harrison is supposed to he the
strongest, in the West and South If the
Republican senators succeed 10 bringing
enough anti-Harlison Republicans into
line for Rusk, it Is probable break for
him will be arranged in the convention.

The BehrInx sea FIsher,es Dispute.

OTTAWA, Ont, March 2-Premier
Abbott delivered an important speech in
the senate yesterday afternoon during the
debate on the speech from the throne.
He warmly resented the imputation of
Mr.. Scott, leader of the opposition. that
the Canadian and British governments
had altered its tone in pressing to solu-
tion the Behring sea boundary disputes.
AS matter of fact, the Dominion had
not receded from it's position in the
slightest degree. What Canada claimed
now and had in5Isted upon all along was
that the United States did not possess ex-
elusive sovereignty In Behrlng sea and
Behrlng straits. Mr.. Blaine had aban-
doned his contention On this point. The
dispute now hinged upon the best meth
DDS of protecting seal life, the question
with which the arbitrators will haYe to
deal. In all likelihood proper regulations
will be adopted. The opposition leader
had criticised the results of the recent
mission to Washington, and asserted that
no results had followed. In reply, the
premier said he would shortly lay the
res 1t before parliament.
