AN OFFICE FOR EVERYBODY.

The Holy Rollers" are not letting
any grass grow under their feet in
their determination to beat the Box
erS' at the primaries. Their leaders
have not forgotten the lessons learned
during their apprenticeship under that
past master in shrewd political tricks.
the machine are visiting republicans of
more or less prominence in every pre-
some county office or for the legisla-
ture. Each man approached in this
way is told that he is just the man
wanted for the place. as he is accept
able to all factions of the party In
this way it is hoped to win the good
will of the leading republican workers
in every precinct and secure their as
Sistance at the primaries After the
primaries the fine promises made to
these men will be forgotten. and the
victims will find that they have been
used merely to grind axes for design
ing machine politicians
If every man promised a nomination
by the Holy Roller leaders We're to
get it, there would be twenty repub-
ican nominees for every office The
result will be many sore headed as
pirants for office, but the machine
leaders are not worrying about that
now, their only concern at present be-
ing the defeat of the Mcbride forces
in this county.

Green and held him awaiting the ar
rival of Postmaster Vinson from Free
water Wednesday. Green had been
tampering in some way with Uncle
Sans money order business. But it
was not clear in the minds of the au-
thorities as to whether Green was
guilty or not. Consequently when Mr..
V1nson arrived in the city Green agreed
to make good all damages and on do
ing so was released and returned to
F'reewater with Mr.. Vinson, where the
tangle will be Strengthened out.
1t seems that there are two Greens
living in Or near Freewater, both with
the same initials. A letter addressed to
F.. A. Green was delivered to this man
who was arrested The letter contain
ell a money order for $500 and belong
ed to the other Mr.. Green. The Mr.
Green who got the letter thought he
had received a handsome present in
the shape of $500 and proceeded to
come to Pendleton. The other Mr..
Green made complaint and the arrest
of Tuesday night followed.

CAN Do NO WRONG.

Whatever Walla Walla's senator may
think or do is right and no loyal citi-
zen of the town will dare to say other
wise. He may oppose the reduction
of freight rates through Il railway
commission and it is the duty of every
graingroWer and other shipper to
shout his approval no matter how
many thousands of dollars the main
tenance of the present high rates may
cost the people of the county. He may
pay forty cents on the dollar in settle
ment of his taxes on bank stock and
every good citizen must say that this
is right and proper and should
follow his example He may join with
the railroad lobby at Washington to
block any appropriation for the open
ing of the Columbia and every patr-
Otto citizen should cry Amen" By
the shades of Adam Schmidt every
thing that Levi can do is right and
shame on the traitor to his town who
would dispute it. Our senator. like the
kings of divine right, can do no wrong.

WHERE JUSTICE IS BLIND.

A former court bailiff in Chicago ad-
mits that he bribed at least 100 Jurors
in the circuit court, besides assisting
in other bribery cases. His testimony
involves a prominent lawyer in Chica-
go, Alexander Sullivan, who was rep
resenting the West Chicago City Rail-
way company when the jury bribing
was done, and who is now facing dis
barment proceedings. AS attorney for
the street railway company Sullivan
sent for this court bailiff and employed
him to fix juries In his statement
the bailiff said:
Il never did keep books, and l don't
remember names. Jury bribing is a
dangerous business, and the less one
remembers the better.
1T doesn't follow that because two
men are working together in a crooked
business that they are friends.
Holding out against eleven men in
order to hang a jury requires bulldog
grit. 1t is worth the $50 that I usually
paid
The bailiff may be punished and the
prominent lowyer' may also suffer.
but what of the street railway officials
whose money was used in this disrep-
utable business? They are the really
guilty parties, for they corrupt not
only men but the whole system Of JUS
tice, yet nobody seems to have thought
Of trying to 60 after them.

MINISTRIES COMING
 UNDER CANVASS

The New Orleans Minstrels gave a performance in their can vass theatre at the corner of Court and Fourth streets last night. The tent was packed and many were turned away because there was no more room. The idea of presenting a minstrel per formance under canvass is quite original, and judging from the crowd last night we judge that it is a paying venture. The tent is arranged with stage scenery and curtains the same as an opera house.
 The performance as a whole was meritorious. The saying and gags were all very good, as we'll as the choruses, ballads and other singing. The orchestra was also good. In the olio the electrical male dance, the "Black Eighth Regiment, the terpsi- chorean artist and ''Pastimes of the Levee" were amusing, and the rip-roaring farce presented as finale was a highly ludicrous and mirth-provoking piece of ex- travagance.

HALE'S FIRE FIGHTERS.
Thorold, Ontario, Post Says Fire Fighters Are One of Best
 Pike Attractions.

The Pike is the midway.'of the St. Louis fair, but unlike Buffa- To midway, is geometrically laid out, straight as an arrow, nearly mile long. Scarcely half the attractions were open, but judg- ing by that half, it will take far less of the fake aspect than the Pan-American midway. The general concessions 1 visited left the impression that all were good some of course better than others.
 First, and taking.high rank as genuine exhibition of a genuine and dangerous vocation, l place "Hale's Fire Fighters, ;" which none should miss. The conces- sion covers perhaps two acres, and consists of fully equipped protection station horses, steam fire engines, hook and ladder wagons, chemical engines and a full force of the Kansas City, Mo-, fire department. The eX- hibit has an actual part of the fire protection service of the worlds fair and might be called on at any time to go out on the grounds and perform its duty. The roof of the enclosure was nearly 100 feet high, and at one side were seats for over a thou sand people. The opening in front of the audience was 300 feet in size, and on the opposite side was erected a building six stories high. After a lecture eX- planning the show, a gong was sounded and a procession passed around the opening, consisting of three engines with steam up, hook and ladders, fireman on foot, etc. This over, several demonstrations of skill were giv- en. William Willis of Illinois ran 50 feet and made coupling with three full turns in 4 1-2 seconds. The honestness of the lightning like act was fully demonstrated by MT. Hale himself, to the sat- isfaction of the audience.

IN MEMORIAL.

A lovely bud of earth trans planted to the garden of para disc, there to bloom eternally in the presence of the Master. One of the most mystical of provl- dences to us who are finite is the tearing loose from our very heart strings the dearest and most precious objects of our parental affection our children.
 Ye who delve into the philoso- phies of human life and the mys- teries of the hereafter, tell us II you can why it is that these jew els are laid at our feet only to be ruthlessly snatched from our grasp when they become more precious to us than our own lives.
 On Friday last Ruby, the D. year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. E. L. Humphreys of Brad ford, was laid to rest beneath the browning grasses of the Hick- mon cemetery, covered over with the flowers of affection and the kisses of an agonized mothers love.
 Little Ruby was one of the loveliest of children, the idolized daughter of fond and hopeful parents and favorite of all who knew her. Lovely and attract i've in life, her beauty and inno- cence seemed only heightened in death; she lay in her white cas- ket as if in the sweetest of childish slumber from which it seemed she might be awakened by a touch. The golden curls fell about the fair face>and hung pendant to the white throat and silent bosom. Save the snowy whiteness of her robes she was dressed as in life, and with her small hands folded across her breast she looked the very angel that she was.
 To give up her child and to have that lovely form forever hid- den from her view was the veri- est torture to the mother. Again and again would she return to 1t and bathe it's face in kisses and tears, and not until drawn aside by tender, but firm hands of rel atives and friends could the last sad rides of the funeral ser vices be concluded.
 in a life time of experiences we have never looked upon a scene more pathetic, more ten der, and one of more bitter an- guish. Let us hope that time, the great healer of all sorrows, may in a measure bind up a mothers broken heart and pour it's balm of gilead into the bleed- ing wounds of a sorrowlng ta- ther.
 Without giving any reason, be- cause he had none to give, Long fellow beautifully expressed the truth when he wrote:
 "There is a reaper whose name
 is death,
 And with his sickle keen He reaps the bearded grain at
 breath
 And the flowers that grow be-
 tween. :"

is said to be because: ,Quares has not been IN
harmony with the governors reform measures.
The ants declare that the governor himself will
be candidate for Quarles' place if he can get
control of the legislature. While they are Wig
orously opposing the nomination of legislative
candidates favorable to Quarles, the ''half-
breeds have not brought out any candidate to
succeed him. The ants declare that this is
significant, and confirms their charge that the
governor himself will be the senatorial candidate
If he can control the legislature.
The general impression among independents is
that if the governor should feel absolutely GER
tain of securing the reform legislation for which
he is fighting he would accept an election to the
