Port Au Prince is Quietly
Awaiting the Arrival
of Simon and Troops
MOVEMENTS To DATE IN CITY
HAVE BEEN WITH UNDER
STANDING AND APPROVAL OF
REBEL I.EADEI.-ALEXIs OUT.

PORT Al PRINCE. Dec. 3.-Loot-
ing and pillaging took place In the
city last night, following the stirring
events which saw President Nord
Alexis driven from his capital by an
infuriated mob.
The passions of the populaee had
been aroused aud after being defeat
ed in their endeavors 10 do bodily
harm to Alexis. they turned their at
tention 10 the we'll stocked stores and
residences of the supporters OF the de-
posed president.
After severe fighting the aathori-
ties succeeded In quieting the mob.
Twelve men were killed before order
was restored.
The trouble began shortly after
President Nord Alexis had been es-
corted TO the French cruiser Dnguay
Trouin by the French Minister. Peo-
pie from the Belair and Salines sec
tions of the city invaded the business
quarter and lost no time in turning
to the work OF pillage and robbery.
They divided into bands aud broke
into stores, dragging the stocks out
into the street, where they were di-
vided among the mob. The crowd
soon began fighting among them
selves aud four were killed in these
encounters.
The mob was rapidly getting out
of hand when General Pidevin with
hastily gathered squad of armed
citizens and loyal soldiers suddenly
appeared upon the scene and fired a
volley into the mob. Eight men fell
AT the first fire and the mob broke
and fed.
Another mob in the meantime was
engaged looting residences in the
rich quarter of the city. The resi-
dences of Generals coieou, Gabriel
Guillaume, NJ. Lefntant, General Mar
celine and General Leeonte were bro
ken into and pillaged. This seemed
TO satisfy the mob which then dis
persed.
A committee on public safety was
organized and held a meeting early
this morning. General Pideyin was
made military governor of Port Au
Prince at this meeting. General 81
mon. leader of the successful revo-
lutionary movement, has been in
formed of the occurrences of yester-
day and at the head of his army of
1000 men is making forced march
for the city.
At IL o'clock this morning order
was completely restored. The COM
mittee on public safety has made an
appeal for moderation and wisdom on
the part of the populace This course
alone. IL declares, will prevent for
eign Intervention for the establish
ment of order. A number of the pill
layers of last night have been ar
rested.
II is expected that the arrival OF
General Simon will permanently dis
pei the danger of serious disorders
in The city and that Within snort time
after his coming the new government
will lie In full swing. There is nc
longer doubt that the establishment
of the provisional government and
the deposal OF President Nord Alexis
was with the full understanding and
favor of Simon. Indeed 1t Is prob
able that this final move on the rev
oiutionary board was a part OF the
original plan which has been carried
to successful conclusion.

WHISKEY IN POLITICS.

Have you ever thought what a
tremendous power the liquor inter-
ests exert in national politics? Have
you ever thought of the exclusive
privileges enjoyed by tlfse interests? =?
The United States government has
done for the manufacturers of whis-
key something which it will not do
for the wheatgrowers, the manufac-
turers of boots, shoes, clothing, or
any other useful and necessary COM
modify. Whiskey may be placed in
the hands of the government, may be
bonded and stored in government
warehouses, may be watched and
guarded and inspected by revenue
officers in the pay of the govern
ment.
What useful manufactured article
is given this privilege? What COM
modify produced by the farmer the
manufacturer or the laborer enjoys
having the strong arm and protection
of the government thrown about it?
What other commodity enjoys this
exclusive favoritism from a coward
ly government?
When the people once awaken to
their true condition and demand that
this strong arm of protection be
withdrawn from the LIQUOR interests.
the power which, those interests exert
in national politics will be shattered.
Let the manufacturer of whiskey
stand on the same level occupied by
other manufacturers. Let the gov
ernment inspect his product and If
found impure condemn it and fine
the manufacturer just as the manu-
facturer of other adulterated stuff is
dealt with.
Will the government accept the
wheat or baled hay or boots and
shoes or dry goods in bond?
Then why should it accept the least
useful and most harmful of all man
ufactured products and throw the
protecting arm of the government
about 1t.

WORLDS WHEAT SUPPLY.

A London letter to an American
four milling journal makes the fol-
lowing statements in regard to the
wheat supply:
The worlds visible wheat supply
during November, 1907, decreased
about 100000 quarters, whereas in
1906 it increased 1,15O,OOO quarters
and in 1905 about 100000 quar-
'ters. The present total of 1900, 900
quarters Is the smallest since 1898,
when the total (about 1900. 900
quarters) was the smallest on record.
In 1894 the total was over $4,000, 600
quarters on December A.
The total Australasian crop is
likely to come out at about 5000, 900
bushels, against 66,151,OOO bushels in
1857 and 6S,52O,OOO bushels in
1905-6. From neither Russia, Rou-
mania, nor India are there any offers
of Importance. so that Europe is al
most entirely dependent for its future
supplies upon Argentina and the Uni
ted States. Argentina. as is well
known. can not begin to ship freely
of new wheat until next February
but in the meantime is rather press
Ing the sale in anticipation of a big
crop. which. of course, has to be
moved at once.

NO DISSENSION HERE.

The Pendleton Tribune this morn
ing accused the East Oregonian OF
endeavoring to create dissension in
the republican ranks in the matter
Of the congressional nomination.
This is fartherest from the inten-
tions of the East oregonian. The
editor Of the East Oregonian is a
registered republican voter and while
he sincerely and earnestly advocates
the reelection of Congressman Ellis,
he does so from the highest motives
and has sufficient, reasons for so do
ing.
It would appear that the editor Of
the Tribune is the man who is Gre
ating all the dissension by coming
into this district and while yet neo-
phite, a novitiate, juvenile in the
second district, insists on seeking the
highest office in the gift of the voters
Of eastern Oregon.
Mr., Geer's action neutralizes east
ern oregon's chances and unless the
voters of this section concentrate on
Ellis, who is in the harness. Portland
will win in the primaries and eastern
Oregon will be left out in the cold.

SPANISH SUPERSTITIONS.

You must not court the stars lest
you come to have as many wrinkles
of fact the the number of stars in
the armament.
If one rocks an empty cradle the
next babe that lies in it will die be-
fore 1t learns to talk.
Just as often as you mention the
devil in life just so often will he APP
pear to you at the hour of death.
II will bring evil to one to dance
alone, casting ones shadow on the
wall. for by so doing one is dancing
with the devil.
If you would not be haunted by
your dead, kiss the shoes they are
to wear at burial.
Do not slam the door, nor shut a
window roughly, nor kick a stone out
of your path, for in the door, in the
window and in the stone may be a
suffering soul doing penance.

VERY UNLIKE HARD TIMES.

The news of the day is full Of
items that contradict hard times
stories. In a report from New York
II is announced that the United States
steel corporation distributed $3,OOO,-
900 to its superintendents, managers
and heads of departments as Christ
mas presents.
A dispatch from Cleveland contains
word that ESQ travelling statesmen Of
paint company will be put on the
road within a week, following short
lay-off, and that the American Ship
building company, which two months
ago shut down its shipyards along the
great lakes, has put 5000 men at work
in the last few days and will reinstate
5000 more employees the first Of the
year.
From st. Louis comes news that
more than 1000 men who were
thrown out of employment in st.
Louis because of the financial strin-
gency, have been ordered back to
work.
1t is predicted that before the end
of January all factories there will be
running full and the effect of the fl
nancial furry will not be felt except
by the workmen engaged in the
building trades.

THE MURDERER's REFUGE.

Switzerland is the murderer's para
disc, if the story told of Luchessi, the
Italian anarchist and assassin of the
Empress Elizabeth OF Austria, be
true. Luchessi did not act without
reason when he chose Geneva for the
scene of his crime. According to a
well-informed correspondent, the as
sassin enjoys four meals day, plenty
of fresh air exercise and permission
to smoke his pipe at the expense of
the government. He listens to lee
lures delivered by professor Of Ian
guages, engages in light work, for
which he is paid, and reads the best
classical and contemporary authors.
1t is not surprising to hear that his
health is excellent, and that after
studying Vohaire, Montesquieu and
Jean Jacques Rousseau, he is now
preparing to write his own me-
moirs.

CHINA, LAND OF PARADOX.

China is the land of paradox. If
it is an absolute, despotic monarchy,
it is also very democratic country
with its self-made men, its powerful
public opinion, and "states' rights
question of its own. 1t is one of the
most corrupt of nations, on the 9TH
er hand, the standard of personal
ard commercial honesty is probably
higher in China than in any other
country in the world.
Woman, in China, are made To
serve; her status is so low that II
would be a discourtesy even to ask
man If he has a daughter; yet the
ablest ruler China has had in many
centuries is a woman.
It is a land where the women wear
socks and trousers, and the men wear
stockings and robes; where a man
shakes mis- own hand, not yours,
where white. not black, is a sign of
mourning; where the compass points
south, not north; where books are
read backward, not forward; where
names and titles are put in reverse
order, as in our Observation-Disclosures
Roosevelt would be Roosevelt Theo-
dore in China, Uncle Sam would be
Sam Uncle; where fire. ctions ere writ
ten upside down, as eight-fifths, not
five-eighths; where a bride walls
bitterly at her wedding, and q man
laughs when he tells you of his motn'
er's death.-Samuel Merwin.

NEEDING THE PEOPLE.

An oregonian letter from Salem
says that the principal political issue
this year in Marion county will be
statement No. the contest between
the people and the bosses in the SEN
atorial election. Will the voters rule,
or will the bosses rule? That is the
issue.
In UmatilIa county the same ques-
ton is going to be an issue. The
people are going to make 1t an is
sue. The voters. republican and
democratic are going to insist on can
didates for the legislature subscrib-
ing to this statement; they are going
to insist on the people having their
rights.
The East Oregonian insists that
voters demand Of candidates for the
legislature that they sign this state
ment. It is the highest duty Of the
public servant to serve the people.
The bosses have ruled long enough.
Let the people have their rights.
Let us be rid Of the legislative con-
tests over senators. Let US settle 1t
once for all at the polls. where all
public questions should be settled
Then the lawmakers can spend their
time making laws and when through
can come home and stop the expense.

HOMEMADE ToBoGGAN SLIDE

By means of three coal chutes, two
owned and one borrowed, the small
boys managed to arrange in our back
yard a toboggan slide which was a
source OF great delight all through
the winter. The house is on the hill
side and the slope of the ground help-
ed to give height to the slide. The
chutes were first fastened together,
then set upon props and ladder was
placed at the upper end in lieu Of the
usual stairs for mounting. Any ac-
tive boy could climb this with his
toboggan in his hand. The children
did the building themselves with
little aid from the hired man. When
there was a snow they shoveled it on
the slide. poured on water and left 1t
to freeze. 1t served to keep them

Of love. Avarice is form OF love.
Adventure is form of 1t. 1t is seen
in the miser. 1t is displayed in the
worker. 1t manlfests itself in the
hcmebuilder, the husbandman, the
merchant.
1t is the life principle underlying
all movements. 1t is the germ which
bursts into life in all progress. 1t is
love for something which causes men
to do the noblest and the meanest
deeds Well directed, it is tran
scendant; perverted or misdirected
it is chaos and destruction.
Love is the dream which fills the
heart and mind OF the settler when
he plants his humble home in the
desert. There in an unclvilized and
forbidding environment, he yet sees
in the future the superb realization
of his vision. His love of home and
family inspires him to look beyond,
to overcome the present and its OBJ
stacles.
The same principle inspires the
bird to pick up the first twig with
which to build her nest in spring.
Love pictures the completed nest, the
clear, blue eggs, the chirping bird
llngs, the fond parents doting upon
the little brood.
And so through the universe runs
the love-principle. 1t is the creator,
the inspiration. the director of every
movement. Love for something or
somebody inspires every effort.
crowns every triumph.

A RECIPE FOR KISSES.

Take bit of dark piazza:
Add some moonlight-not toe
much
Press in two strong hands a small
one;
Add of coy reserve a touch;
Sift in just a pinch of folly,
Mixed with softly whispered sighs
OF romance add two small teacups:
And the starlight of her eyes.
Then dissolve some pure emotion
In a longing and a laugh:
Mix grain of deep affection
With bit of merry chaff:
Add an ounce of mild resistance,
Two Of yielding-then, in mute,
Inexpressible enjoyment,
Serve in quantities to suit.

THE MASTER BUILDER.

There il but one master builder,
one predominating motive in all the
universe. and that is Love. Love
builds everything. moves everything
and underlies everything. Not the
shallow infatuation which is mistaken
for love too often, but the broader,
higher. more sublime love principle
recognized everywhere in the uni
verSe.
Men build homes for love; they
seek wealth for love; they brave all
perils for love. Selflshness is a form

speech with this statement:
"Those of you who may never have

one speak who on two different occa-
sions cherished the delusion that he
was going to be a real live president
and he feels the disease coming on
