FROM DIFFERENT sTANDPoINTs.


A glance at the above figures is suf-
ficient to show how radically different
are the principles of the two political
parties. Viewed from the Republican
standpoint, the few bankers and brok-
ers, the few wholesale merchants, the
few officials of trust trade, transporta-
ton and other corporations are the only
genuine business men, and the millions
engaged in agriculture and labor are of
no account except as subjects for abusive
cartoons.
Viewed from the Democratic stand
point, the members of the national
state and local oranges are as much
business men as the members of the
national and local boards of trade, and
their votes count Just as much. The
members of the national and local labor
organization are as much business men
as the members of the national and local
bankers associations and their votes
count just as much. The locomotive
engineer, who at the risk of his own life
saves the train from wreck, is far
more useful business man than the stock
gambler of Wall street, who accumu-
lates millions by wrecking the finances
of railroads, and his vote counts Just as
much.
In brief, the statement concludes, the
millions of farmers, producers and
laborers of all classes are as much bust
ness men as the the few who live, thrive
and grow rich by trading in the products
of labor.

A1den-Joles wedding.

/At IL O'Clock this morning the resi-
Tdence of Mr.. and Mrs. Joles was the
scene of a pretty wedding. In the pres
ence of the family of the bride and few
invited friends, Rev. J. II. Wood, of the
Methodist church, joined in marriage
Mr.. Charles Alden and Miss Amber E.
Joles, third daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Isaac Joles. At the conclusion of the
ceremony the bridal party sat down to a
bountiful wedding feast, where good
wishes for the happiness of the bride
and groom were repeatedly expressed.
Both the young people are well known
in The Dalles, where during the years
leading to maidenhood, Miss Joles has
lived and where she enjoys the friend
ship of a large circle.
Mr.. Alden is first officer of the
steamer Regulator and, though hav-
ing lived in The Dalles but about a
year has made many friends by his gen.
tlemanly department. The happy cou-
pie left on the afternoon train for a

sound. A number of friends assembled

An Old Friend heard From.

One of Capt. J. w. Lewis friends in
Kentucky has been heard from in a
manner very gratifying to that gentle
man. At the recent meeting of the G..
A. R. in Kentucky, Col. R. NJ. Kelly
was elected department commander of
the Kentucky division, and one of his
first acts was to appoint Captain Lewis
an aid-de-camp on his staff, an honor
much appreciated because it came un-
sought. Colonel Kelly and Captain
Lewis served together during the war,
and the following clipping from yester-
days Oregonian shows the possible
honors in store for the distinguished
Kentuckian:
Among the many prominent Republi-
cans who have been named as possible
candidates for the United States senator
ship from Kentucky, is Colonel R. M.
Kelly, the editor-in-chief of the Louis
vile Commercial. Colonel Kelly is one
of the brainiest men in the Republican
party in Kentucky, and possibly the
best posted On national affairs. His
election to the position of department
commander of the Kentucky division oi
the q. A. r. attests to his popularity
and there are hundreds of his comrades
anxious to have him enter the senatorial
race and be elected to that position.

THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHlAs.
Public Installation Last Night. An En-
joyable time.

Seldom has SO large or so representa-
tive a concourse of people filled build
ing in The Dalles as that which gathered
in the Baldwin opera house last evening
to witness the public installation exer-
cises of the Knights of Pythias. The
floor was arranged in the form of Py-
THAN lodge room, with the altar in the
center and the officers seated in their
accustomed places. Seats for the mem
bers of the lodge were arranged in the
center of the room, while ranged back
of these were seats for the invited guests.
Long before the beginning of the exer-
cises the large building was crowded
with interested spectators.
The exercises began by Chancellor
Commander Gavin calling the lodge to
order, and then the officers from the
grand lodge were announced. At this
time the Knights who were appointed to
represent the grand lodge, filed in and
took their stations before the altar. The
grand lodge officers were as follows ::
Grand Chancellor, Frank Menefee: Vice
Chancellor, John Michel; Grand Mas
ter of Exchequer, G. e. Bayard; Grand
Keeper r. and s., 7. A. Hudson; G. M.
at A., G. T. Thompson; 6. I. G., F. S
Cunning. These gentlemen were depu-
ties from the grand lodge and represent
ed that body in the work of installation
Chancellor Commander Gavin gave way
to Grand EChancellor Menefee, who in
stalled the different officers of Friend
chip Lodge, No. g. The sentiment of
the ritualistic work was very pretty, and
was read by Mr.. Menefee in feeling
manner. The following officers were
then installed according to the forms and
ceremonies of the sorder: G. c., L. E.
Grove: V. c., E. B. Dufur; Prelate, J..
S. Davis; Master of the Work, H. H.
Riddell; Keeper of Records and Seals,
d. W. Vause; Master of Finance, L. L.
Lane; Master of Exchequer, W. E. Wal
thers; NJ. at A., w. w. Smith; Inside
Guard, j. w. Blakeney; Outside Guard,
M. NJ. Lane.
At the conclusion of the installation
ceremonies, Chancellor Commander
Grove made a short speech, which was
heartily applauded. Hon. w. H. Will
son was then introduced as the speaker
of the evening, and for half an hour or
more, claimed the closest attention of
the large audience. Mr.. Wilson spoke
about the early prejudice with which
secret Societies were looked upon and told
of how this feeling was giving way to a
kindlier one as people learned more of
the beneficent workings of the order.
He traced the history of the Pythian
lodge, and referred to the beautiful story
of Damon and Pythias, from which the
order draws its inspiration. The speaker
said every man, who was a Knight of
Pythias, was a better citizen for that
reason. He paid glowing tribute to
the principles and workings of the order
and by his words added much to the
good repute in which the organization is
already held in the community. Mr..
Wilson's speech commended itself to
his hearers and at its close, he was COM

Sermon on Temperance at Hamline
Methodist Church.
Says the Saloonkeeper Who Sold
Ford the Bottle of Whisky Wasa
Participant In His Crime.

The mass meeting of the Anti-saloon
League followers held yesterday at $50
in the Hamline NJ E. Church, corner Ninth
and z streets, was not very largely at
tended, less than fifty people being present
to listen to the address.
Mr.. j. T. Yfnal, chairman of the mass
meeting committee, presided, and with
him on the platform was Mr. Ewing, presi-
dent of the Anti-Saloon League.
After the singing of. hymn Mr.. Vinal
introduced the KEY w. R Stricki len, pastor
or the church, who welcomed the Anti
Saloon League people to his church and
all those interested i'll the suppression of
the saloon.
He referred during the course of his
address to the business of the saloon, its
prospects and the demand it created among
men, and of the neyer-failing supply. Does
the saloon meet any beneficial demand?'
asked Mr.. STRICKEN, ''does it meet any
reasonable, logical demand?'' he contin-
ued, and in the next statement he asserted
that 1t was only the demand created 10y
itself.
Referring TO the poisoning of the public
drinking water, he said that il some one
offered to pay all enormous price for the
privilege OF poisoning the water 1t wouldn't
be very much, IL any worse, than the
saloonkeepers who were now poisoning
the authorities for the privilege of poison
ing tie public by selling liquor.
Congressman E. A Morse of Massac ctu-
sets, was the next spea ker. and after con-
graduating the Methodist people upon the
possession OF their beautiful church edi-
| flee. he turned on the saloon and said he
thought the saloon curse beat q II the in
ventions of the devil He referred to the
murders. suicides. and the filling of aims
houses Is the direct result OF rum drink king.
He asked the question, what must we do
to remedy the evil now existing, and re-
ferred to Dr. Watts hymn, the last line
Of which read: go watch, and fight and
pray"
The Congressman spoke OF the murder OF
Elsie Kreglo and said that the newspa pers
had evidently forgotten one statement by
the murderer in his confession He said
that Ford confessed to having bought
bottle OF liquor on the morning previous to
the commitment Of the crime and the
speaker then and there charged the Sa-
loonkeeper selling Ford the liquor with
being a participant in that most horrible
crime He suggested that skull and eros S-
bones be put up over saloon door as
irade mark and said the saloon was the
enemy OF God AMI man.
Mr. Joseph Story OF Boston spoke on the
saloon question and publicly thanked Con-
| gressinan Morse for the st:n1 he had taken
! for temperance in the halls of Congress.
| Andrew Wilson, a young attorney at wv,
| aslo spoke and said the worst curse we
| have in Washington was the saloon.
