THE ADJUDICATION. SUITS.

At the Commercial club meeting
last night the only contention arose
over resolution that was proposed
as an amendment to those adopted
and the principal feature of which
amendment was a clause that called
for the abandonment by the govern
ment of the adjudication suits
The amendment was voted down be-
cause it did not look good under the
circumstances. 1t appeared as useless
and as slappihg the government at a
very inappropriate time.
That the adjudication suits have
raised a furor and are disliked must
be admitted. Nearly all upper river
users regret that the suits have been
brought. But whether or not it would
be beneficial to have the government
withdraw its suits is another question.
The East Oregonian does not know
and is not attempting to say. 1t is
evident though that the adjudication
of water rights is something that must
proceed and will proceed no matter
what people may desire. This being
the case it might not be for the gen.
eral welfare for the government to
withdraw its suits even if it would do
so. Should they induce the govern
ment to withdraw its suits and allow
private parties to bring adjudication
suits the upper river settlers might
be getting from the frying pan into
the fire. The average wateruser.
such as Birch creek farmer or
/ Mckay creek farmer, might suffer
more at the hands of big private us
,ers than at the hands Of the govern
ment.
These comments are made to show
why the action of the club in voting
down the amendment last evening was
not inconsistent with the friendship of
the club for the waterusers of the up-
per river. In this connection it is
important to note that those who
spoke for the amendment declared
they spoke for themselves alone and
not as representatives Of anyone.
In the view of the East Oregonian
the Pendleton Commercial club
stands for the welfare Of the settlers
Of the upper river and of Birch and
Mckay creeks. II those settlers want
the club to ask the government to
withdraw its suits they should pre-
sent their request direct to the club
In person, or through accredited
spokesmen. so that the organization
Will be sure of their desires.

BY the adoption of the resolutions
the Commercial club sought to do its
duty without lodging or. quibbling
and to give just and proper decis-
ion upon the question that had been
placed before it the night before.
In view of the East Oregonian the
club did its duty fully and took the
only course possible consistent with
justice and common sense. 1t is also
the belief of this paper that this view
will be shared by all who attended the
meeting at the Oregon theatre Tues
day evening and listened with unpre-
JUDGED minds to the presentation of
the various features of the contro-
yersy.

PERFECTION.


He never worries If the weather's bad,
He never envies those whose wealth
is great:
He never sighs for chances he has had
or tries to blame his own mistakes
on fate;
He never bets on any dead sure thing.
To find that, after all, it was not
sure;
He never wastes a moment bothering
Ger troubles that he cannot help
to cure.
He never tells his boys how he obey
And was shining model in his
youth;
BY fool sh preiudices never swayed.
He never tries to cover up the truth
He never sighs for more than he has
earned,
Nor tries to crowd another to the
rear;
The scheme of others leave him un-
concerned
He views no others effort with a
sneer.
He never has to lock the door at night
Nor frets if landlords wish to raise
the rent;
He never says an unkind thing for
spite.
Nor mourns for funds that were un-
" sely spent;
He listens to no get-rich- quick appea, i
Nor breads disasters that may be
ahead;
He breaks no butterfly upon a wheel,
And wrongs no man or woman-he

Monarchist Party Preparing to
Force a Crisis.
MANUEL MAY Be RESTORED
Disorder Rampant in Lisbon Where
People Arm to Prevent RevoIu-

Lisbon, May "a. = The monarchist
party has seized upon the strikes at
Oporto to force a crisis, and Portugal
is facing a new revolution. If, as ex-
pected, Lisbon should follow the ex-
ample of the north, the counter-revolu-
ton will be a most serious affair
Disorder has been rampant in the
capital. Robberies and housebreaking
are of almost daily occurrence, and
the authorities seem powerleSS. Arms
are at premium, and the demand for
foreign, especially British, flags re-
veals an unexpected number of citi-
zens WHO claim foreign protection.
At Oporto all business is at a stand
still and dangerous encounters are re-
ported Eetween strikers and the
militia Inland-bound vessels have
been stopped, the custom house is oc-
cupied by republican guards, and all
work has been paralyzed by thousands
of strikers, who seize every OppOrtuni-
ty to do damage to shipping.
The semi-official newspaper, Omun-
do, states that the cruiser Adamaster
has disembarked troops at Oporto to
prevent monarchist conspirators at
Tuy, Spain, near the border, from en-
tering Portugal.

Pongee silk is the undyed silk Of

The real pongee cloth. made Of this

therefore each piece varies from all
other pieces in exact quality. weight
and fineness and in slight degree in
color and other qualities.
There are certain general grades of
cloth. certain varieties of weave. GER

THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.

An Incident That Marked His Spirit
and independence.
In his "Glimpses Of the Confederate
Army" in the American Review of Re-
views Randolph II. McKim writes:
1T seems to me as | look back that
one OF the things which stood out
strongly In the Confederate army was
the independence and the initiative of
the individual soldier 1t would have
been better army In the field If it had
been welded together by stricter dis
cipline, but this defect was largely
atoned for by the strong individuality
OF the units In the column. 1t was not
easy to demoralize a body composed Of
men who thought and acted in spirit
OF independence In battle.

the private soldier l recall an incident
to this effect. Major General Gordon
had organized a strong column to make
a night attack on Grants lines at Pc

and the order to advance was given a

and said:
General Gordon. this column can't

Claims Postoffice inspectors
Are in Plot to Ruin.
ASKS CONGRESS FOR INQUIRY
1t Is Alleged that Some Inspectors
Are Interested Financially in
Burns Detective Agency,
Rival Concern.

Pittsburg, May "a. - Sensational
charges against United States postof.
flee inspectors are made in a petition
prepared by the attorneys for G B.
Perkins, H. H. Perkins, w. w. Perkins,
Charles Franklin, A. Thomas and John
}. Drew, asking congress to make an
Investigation of the inspectors.
Attorneys Charles A. O'Brien and
Frank Thompson have gone to Wash
1ngton, taking the petition with them,
and will have a congressman from
Pittsburg introduce it.
The charges are the result of the
arrest of Gilbert B. Perkins and Wal
ter w. Perkins in indianapolis and
Charles Franklin in Philadelphia by
postoffice inspectors. The most seri-
Gus allegations made by the Perkins
are to the effect that many of the in
spectors are pecuniarily interested in
the w. J. Burns Detective Agency in
New York, and it is alleged the story
to the effect that the Perkins agency
attempted to blackmail G.. Strong of
Erie, Pa, was for the purpose of ruin
ing the Perkins Union Detective
Agency.
Allegations of a conspiracy are made
by the Perkins agency against the
following p0stoffice inspectors: Frank
O'Brien, New York; w. c. Ella and
William F. Cleary, Indianapolis; Wal
ter Corkson, Columbus; e. F. Hutches,
Urbana, O.; James Woltz, Parkerss
burg, w. Va; G. V. Craighead, Pitts
burg; J. F. Cortelyou, John F. Old
field, Albert e. Burmese and William
S. Ryan, of Philadelphia, together with
John E. Washer, of Pittsburg, Sc
cret service operative.
The Perkinses ask that congress in
vestigate the postoffice inspectors,
and they allege they can produce proof
to prove their contention that the in
spectors named conspired to further
the interests of the Burns Detective
Agency to the discredit of the Perkins
agency. The Perkinses cite thirty
three years of service and give a de
tailed history of the robbing of the
Strong mausoleum in Erie.
