There would indeed be an interesting
time on the old Mother Earth if two
wars should be in progress at the same
time. England and Russia are getting
bristles up and Il { saying some sassy
things to each other. TIL may all be a
bluff, but wars have been declared on
sighter pretexts. The refusal of England
to sell warships to either the United
States or Spain may truly be because she
wants to remain strictly neutral, but at
the same time there is strong posi-
'bility that these engines of war may be
needed to terrtlrize the Russian bear.
England on general principles is natur-
ally axerse to weakening her navy. In
,fact, she has Just made an enormous APP
preparation to increase it. England III
sends to remain mistress of the seas at
any cost.

Chairman Pierce's Letter to The PEN
dIeton Tribune.
The report given by the Pendleton
Tribune, OF the recent meeting OF the
populist central committee, docs not
seem TO set we'll with the members OF
that party. II appears from the follow.
ing letter to the Tribune, that the paper
In its report. somewhat exaggerated and
added color:
Editor Tribune: In your recent report
OF the transactions Of the county central
committee of the peoples party, which
assembled in PeDdleton January 8, you
make use, in your daily edition OF Jan
uary o, of such expressions as the fol-
lowing:
"They were in heated discussion
from 10 o'clock in the morning until .
in the afternoon"
sit is said that the populists will not
support any silver democrat nor body OF
silver democrats that are led by j. Il.
Raley."
"James FL. Raley to be knitted"
"A. s. Bennett, OF The Dalles, is to
get no support whatever from the Una
tilla county pops"
"W. s. Wren, OF Milwaukee, was not
liked for his conduct at the Legislature"
etc.
The undersigned chairman OF the
central committee above referred to was
present. presided at the meeting which
you appear to report and desires to sub
init the following corrections for publi-
cation In the Tribune:
First, There was no cheated discus
sion" at any period during the session
of the committee.
Second, The whole session OF the com
mittee was most pleasant and har-
monous one.
Third, The name OF James H. Raley
was not mentioned at said meeting and
no sentiments were expressed there
which could possibly be taken as an
intimation that Mr.. Raley or anyone
else was to be "knifed."
Fourth, The names of A. 8. Bennett
and w s. Wren were not, to the best OF
my recollection, mentioned at said meet
ing, nor can remember any allusion to
them being made.
Filth, Az the official chairman pre-
siding at eaid meeting, and vested with
the authority to speak for the peoples
party OF this county, and desiring q Co
operation OF ell reform forces in our
next election, will say that it may be
taken for granted, without argument,
that the candidates formally advanced by
the people OF the democratic and silver
republican parties for such Offices as
,uay be agreed upon, in conference, will
be supported by the peoples party or
ganization with the same firmness
which has characterized this party in
the past.
Finally, We wish to say that ell ol
your published statements In your edl'
tlons OF January and IL, except the
resolutions adopted by our own com.
mittee, are wholly discordant with the
facts which actually took place at said
meeting. N. PIERCE,

Two MONTHS MANNED
And Then II Y VIM, Young Weton
Farmer, Deserts His Wife

And Then II Y VIM, Young Weton
Farmer, Deserts His Wife
The report came from Weston, says
Pendleton paper, that some little com.
ment has been occssioned there by the
disappearance of young farmer named
Hey Vim.
About two months ago VIM was
united in marriage with Miss Alice
James. II seems that the young couple
did not get along very well with Winn's
mother, with whom they Lived on q
ranch near Dry creek, so he took his
wife to a private family to board. The
| story continues that some two weeks
ago Winn left Weston and had not re-
turned. He was last seen in Walla
Walla, but his whereabouts is now nm
known. His young wife was left with
an unpaid board bill and absolutely nc
money for her support.
Before leaving, 1t Is reported, Winn
induced his wife TO sign q deed to his
mother for some land which he owned
adjoining her property, saying that as
they could not get along with her i
would be better to take the money and
buy an independent place of his own
Instead he is accused OF decampine
with the proceeds and deserving hil
wife, to whom he afterward sent thirt
party, suggesting that divorce ehoulc
be arranged.
Lawyers we're consulted by friends o
the deserted wife. and If possible lega
relief will be obtained in her behalf
The validity OF the sale made by Winr
to his mother is questioned.
