AT THE CONFESSIONAL.

The Goddess of Reform! How
fair she is as painted by those
who bow in public at her shrine.
Her ways are ways of pleasant
ness and she holds the horn OF
plenty. No tear-stained maiden,
She, in robes of white, but ra-
diant and voluptuous being,
whom Dives entertains with
surnptuous feasts.
There was an assembly of Re
formers at Oregon City last week
and the Reformers who intrigued
against organization Of the legis-
1ature at Salem were congratu-
lated. Refor1ner U'Ren made an
address explaining Reform fnan
ciering.
Mr.. U'Ren said: "The cleln-
bers of the opposition (of course
he could only speak for the
populists) received $50 to s75
apiece from a fund that had been
made up by the enemies oi
Mitchell. l myself received $50
from that source. Representa-
tive Ogle was the only one who
paid his own expenses out of his
own pocket" This means In
brief that the populist members
of the Legislature, the Reform
ers, were in the employ of Cor
bett. 1t is unfortunate for Mr;
Whitaker, of Benton county,
that he was not named with Mr..
Ogle.
No continent seems necessary.
Mr.. U'Ren's wondrous frank
ness estops argument. Those
who desire any more populistic
reform, will be given an oppor
tunity to vote for it.
