Now is the time and this is the oppor tunity to break the Portland ring, which has controlled in politics and opposed tie best interests of Oregon for twenty years. Yea, Portland itself, the home of this ring, has been defrauded, through Its methods, of her birthright The con tinued monopoly on the Columbia river route has driven the rich treasures of the Inland Empire across the Cascades and Washington has grown wealthy from the trade that rightly belongs to our metrop olis The prime mover in this body of bobdlersis a corporation lawyer whose sole interest lies in serving faithfully Lub employ srs, who, being able to furnish abundant funds, render him a formidable opponent to the best interests of the peo ple, and he has never failed to exercise his power in that direction. The meth ods which he uses are the basest ones known to unscrupulous politicians, some of them putting to shame those of the great corruptionist, Boss Tweed, who . went to the senitentiary for his crimes. This is strong language, but can anyone ay it is untrue? Will anyone attempt to excuse him on account of the license in the politics of this age? It is a fitting answer to say that he has flagrantly scandalized the very license put forward as his apology. The methods by which he defeated Judge Waldo for the supreme bench should forever damn him in the mind of every honest man. He now wishes to send a member of his firm to represent his employers in the U. S. sen ate. Will you assist him in doing it? The people are aroused as never before to oppose Dolph & Simon.' There is not hamlet within the state which does not today stasd in rebellion against the pair. We have suffered long, but this is the first time we have stood in open rebellion and turned at bay. The hisses which we hear in the halls of the capitol when Dolph's name is called is the faintest echo of the hurricane of public indigna-: tion which is sweeping the state. Oppo sition to the Portland ring heretofore has been but the ill-natured grumble of a discontented bandit who was easily ilenced by the superior generalship of Simon. .This time the elements are turned loose . and the very foundations are being broken up. Ninety percent of the republican newspapers in the state are filling their columns with opposition to Dolph. , There is no corporation, con . epiracy,' concerted action, .. nor cash behind this uprising. The people do not want Dolph. They have repudiated him in their hearts', and they will repudiate you if you fasten him upon them. Let the almost united yoice of the people conjure you to listen to them. You are supposed to be the friends of the people and the servants of your constituents. You are temporarily entrusted with a power which belongs to them. Use it as they direct and they will bless you. Abuse it and they may justly despise you forever. When a body of men seek out one business from the many and attempt to say what the proprietor of such business shall receive for the commodities he is elling, they make a most unjust discrim- Ination. Mr. Baker has introduced a bill to regulate the price of printing. Adver tising space of a newspaper is the goods, ware3, and merchandise of its proprietor Just the same as a stock of groceries, boots and shoes, or general merchandise is to a storekeeper. No one will for a moment contend that the legislature has power to regulate the selling price of the latter commodities. Then, what right has that body to say what compensation the printer shall receive for his advertis ing space? Besides the discriminating feature of the bill it does not provide adequate remuneration for the service required. If the bill were amended, however, so as to read "and for each additional insertion five cents per line," there would probably not be such serious objections to its passage. But if it is left as it is the measure should suffer defeat. The Oregonian thinks the men who went into the caucus and then voted in the house against the nominee ought not to have gone into caucus. That is prob ably true. Indeed, no caucus should have been held this year. There was no need of it The legislature is overwhelm ingly republican and there was no prob ability of any one but a republican being elected. The senators and members of the house are representatives and they ought not to conceal their votes. Bach vote should be open for the inspection of constituents. In the caucus the vote was a secret one except in a few instances where. Mr, Dolph's managers were per mitted to inspect the ballot just as it dropped into vthe hat Hillsboro Inde pendent THE McKinley tariff brought no hard- . ship to any workingman nor to anybody else in the United States. There is not a single class in the country today which "does not feel the baneful effect of that instrument of robbery known as the Gorman bill. ThK New York Press thinks that Citi zen George Francis Train i9 rapidly becoming the logical presidential candi - date of the democratic party. SENATORIAL SITUATION. The election of Mr. Dolph seems now impossible. Men who had the hardi hood to oppose the Simon machine power in bolting the caucus against the powerful influences, which that machine caused to bear against them, are of the stuff of which men are made. They who' antagonized Dolph in the face of the probability of his election, will not show the white feather now that they know they can accomplish his defeat. Should the Oregon legislature adjourn without electing a senator, the blame logically will be against the Dolph forces, i The anti-Dolph element is not attempt ing to dictate the nomination of any one man. The cry of the Dolphites is "Dolph or nobody." Their position is undemocratic. There is no reason why republicans can not unite upon some man who will represent the state with credit There is reason why the', peo ple's representatives should oppose the election of a man whom they believe to be antagonistic to the people. It is bet ter to be unrepresented than misrepre sented. The perpetuity of the reoubli- can party in Oregon is of far greater im portance than the mere election of any one particular man to the United States senate. The existance of the party does not depend upon the politicians who aspire to be its leaders and shape its course for their personal gains. These men should be taught that they are not the republican party. Harmony in the party is advisable. 'Tis "sweet for brethren to agree" in pol itics as well as religion, but this harmony should not be obtained by the sacrifice of principle and the surrender of the peo ple to the bosses. The people must tri umph and the people will triumph. We have men in the Oregon legislature. The Oregonian attempts to sneer at, and throw discredit upon the purpose of the men who are known as anti-Dolph, by saying that "they are coquetish in their voting," and "are not organized," both of which statements are true. They have no candidate. They are not one man men. They wi.ll support any able Oregonian, who is a tried and true repub lican. The Oregonian wages an ignoble war fare upon the men who are voting against Dolph, aud for the people. It threatens them with political annihilation. With peculiar irony, it accuses them of looking for a candidate "with a bar'l" a curious statement for a Dolph organ to make. If that was the only requisite they ask- j ed, not a man would havej left Dolph Dolph. money was plentiful, considering the financial stringency. Denny, a min or Dolph manager, showed his devotion to the cause by throwing two hundred dollars over the Willamette hotel bar after the republican caucus, and instruct ing the barkeeper to serve free whiskey to the crowd. The Oregonian transends the depths of sound argument in trying to recall Cole aiid Burke, of Multnomah county, to the support of Dolph. It calls them "stinkards." Such, fltghts of oratory and such depths of reasoning are beyond the ability of any anti-Dolph pa per to successfully refute. The work of the gentlemen who oppose Dolph will only be half accomplished should they allow Simon to dictate the selection of the successful candidate, There should be no dictation from any source; certainly not from the machine An opportunity is now before them to break down the power of Simon and the machine. It should not, and will not, be lost The opposition is an intelligent opposition; not blind stubbornness. uoipn is aeieatea. me people are vic torious. MS. COOPER'S TAX LAW. Individuals should be taxed only on their net worth. Tax on debt is double taxation and double taxation is tincon shtutional. Senator Carter's inorteasre tax law will eradicate only a portion of the present evil. It is class legislation because it only permits the deduction of indebtedness of record. The man who gives chattel or personal security is entitled to the same privileges and rights of exemption as is the man who secures his debts with real estate. The bill intro duced by Representative Cooper has this object in view and should receive favor able consideration. After the usual pro vision for assessment of real property, the bill provides that it shall be the duty of the assessor to deduct the amount of indebtedness within the state, of any person assessed, from the amount of his or her taxable property, but no such indebtedness shall in any case be deduct ed unless it be real, bona fide indebted ness, due from the person assessed as principal debtor, and not on account of any contingent liability, as surety, endorser, or otherwise; and in case two or more parties, as principal debtors, are jointly or severally liable for the payment of any such indebtedness, neither of them shall be entitled to the deduction of any greater portion of it than the proportion each debtor bears to the whole number of such debtors, to the effect that only the amount of indebt edness shall te deducted in favor of all such debtors, nor shall a deduction be made in favor of any person, assessed, unless he or she delivers to the assessor a written statement duly sworn to, speci fying the name and place of residence of the creditor, the nature of the debt, the names of other parties, if any, who are liable therefor, and which statement shall show that the debt or portion thereof sought to be deducted, has not been deducted in any other county or place in the state from the assessment of such person for that year; and in case such statement is found to be false to the knowledge of the party who made it, or that such party has willfully or recklessly made a false statement in such a case for the purpose of obtaining a deduction of indebtedness, such party shall be deemed ' guilty of perjury, and shall - be liable to ' the pains and penalties therefor. JUDGE HUFFORITS SALARY. W. S. Hufford, our county judge, is at Salem working for the " re-election of .Dolph. - "The only business he ought to have before the legislature is to ask that his salary be reduced to six hundred" dol lars. His time and services entitle him to no more than that sum. The county judges of the state met in convention at Portland' and resolved in favor of econo my as regards other county , officials. The question of their own exorbitant sal aries was not raised. They also favored a reduction of witness and juror fees and mileage m justice and county courts. These resolutions cost Benton county $14, that being the amount of the bill allowed by the court for judge Hufford's railroad fare and hotel bill while attend ing said convention. It is not yet known whether he will put in his bill to the county for his expenses to Salem in the interests of Dolph or not Mr. Hufford was elected as a judge; not as a legislator. Our representatives do not need his personal assistance. He is a remarkably ambitious man, with some native shrewdness. But it is a lam entable display of bad taste for one in his official position to make such a public profession of his zeal for a senatorial can- didate towards whom the people who elected him have widely diverging opin ions, to say the least This is not a clever way to secure advancement on the bench. - Mr. Hufford, before the election, announced himself in favor of reducing the salary of the county judge to six hundred dollars. Since then there has been a careful and studiom silence on his part upon that subject The peo ple demand that. their representatives take action in this matter. The Gazette has noting against Mr. Hufford personally. It is a republican paper and as such assieted in the elec tion of Mr. Hufford, who wa9 on the re publican ticket last spring. But he is a public official and his official acts are subject to public criticism. He has no right to attempt to influence the leiris- lators by means of the power which his judicial position might give him. A public office should not be a public "snap." IT has been hinted that an effort would be made during this session of the legis lature to change Benton county from the second to the third judicial district which now includes Linn, Marion and Polk counties. Such a change is really needed to facilitate legislation. The second dis-. trict is too large and scattered. It com prises Lincoln, Benton, Lane, Douglas, Coos and' Curry counties. Comprising such a large territory necessitates a deal of traveling and consequent loss of time on the part of the judge, besides often delaying litigation and causing attorneys much unnecessary inconvenience. The courts of the third district are now pre sided over - by two competent jurists Judges Burnett and Hewitt. By includ ing Benton county in their jurisdiction the. district will be made. more, compact and as it should have been .originally organized from a geographical stand point Besides, it will relieve the judge of the second district, who is now over burdened -with duties, but will . not increase the work of judges in the third district to such an extent as to retard litigation in the least Such a change would meet the hearty endorsement of every person interested. The unjust, spiteful and cowardly at tack of the Oregonian upon Lord and Kincaid because they are not found howling with the ring for Dolph, is meet ing with the righteous condemnation it deserves. All great men have their weak spots and the great bull-dozing ed itor of the northwest has shown his in this unwarranted attack. ' In two days of last week $ 2,000,000 worth of foreign wool goods were taken from the custom house in New York. In the meantime mutton is cheap, all over the great- West "Grover and clover" for the farmers. February 22 is the next holiday. The birthday of the Father of his Country is a legal holiday in all the states save Arkansas, Iowa and Mississippi, though in these, also, it is generally observed. An exchange has noticed that a man will nnblushingly comb his hair over a bald spot on the top of his head, and yet expect a fruiterer to put his smallest apples in' the top layer of a box. The Florida legislature made 'Jeff. Davis' birthday a legal holiday, and the northern institution known as Jack Frost hove down on them and froze their oranges. Before a Full Head of Steam .

Cooper changed vote today, and Davis, of Umatilla, left Dolph, so he has forty-two, as formerly. The vote stood: Dolph 42, Hermann 10, Hare 10, "Weatherford 8, Moore 1, Lord 6, Lowell 4. Gatch 2, "Williams 6, Barclay 1; absent, 2. (This action of Mr. Cooper meets with general disapprobation. Petitions have been sent him showing that at least 4-5 of the republican voters of Benton "county were against Dolph and the Simon cabal. These petitions were signed by his friends and neighbors. How he can disregard their wishes and advice at the behest of a few wirepullers is indeed strange. By changing back, his course will be approved; other wise, he will be liable to severe censure.) ; DOINGS AT THE CAPITA!,. . ; Salem, Jan. 27th, 1895, The Corvallis Gazettk: Oregon's ninety Solons have spent two weeks of the eighteenth session, with the record of accomplishing practically nothing toward much needed legislation, beyond organization, even'to the appointment "of a f ull corps of committee clerks. The delay id legislation can be easily traced to the sen atorial contest, which absorbs the attention of H members and the lobbyists. The sen atonal situated is very serious, and it is very doubtful whether any election can be had for some time. The Dolph men are in line, and say they will stand firm. Yet there are several of them who say they will not per mit an election of Dolph, even, by the assis tance of a few populist or democratic votes, which Dolph leaders are ondeavoring to win, until an expression caa be obtained from the people. . The anti- Dolph men are in solid Hue, determined to win, though not at liberty to name a maa until they have a majority, when they will proceed to elect an United States seuator to succeed Hon. J. N Dolph, who will return to his law practice, instead of being Oregon's misrepresentative, Your correspondent has learned, with great astonishment, the sentiments of the people, expressed us they were by applause in the house of representatives when anti-Dolph statesmen spoke, or hisses whenj Dolphism shouted "Caucus rini rale! Organized can- ens must rule !"- It was simply impossible for President Simon to control the enthusi asm, even tnougn repeated threats wore made to clear the house of all spectators. On Friday when Hon. Thomas H. Cooper, of Benton county, arose to his feet, and in a firm, determined voice, announced his inten -tion to abide no longer by King Caucus, bnt to stand out for his constituents and the dictates of his own conpcieDce, a loud cheer for freedom and liberty echoed back we dare say from the very core of the Willamette Corvallis-r-a hearty approval. Mr. Cooper is the first to assist in what we predict will end in Dolph's timely defeat; and Benton should bo proud of the man who hrst broke the solid ' 44. when 45 could ' have elected him on the first joint ballot. In the senate, their calandar shows many bills now inr the hands of the various com mittees, where they are being' considered but the house has read its first time only, excepti'md lirSent bills, and which alone are in the hands of the committees. . ....... Hon. H. L. Barkley, one of the men who has the moral courage to tell Mr. Dolph to return to his future home at Portland, has been very '. appropriately dubbed the Henry Clay of the house. . His remarks are bright, crisp and effective. The two young populist members, Jeffrey, of Jackson, and a former O. A. C. student, and Burleigh, of Wallowa, are energetic orators of the first dye, and will stand by their principles from start to finish. In the lobby this afternoon we find the Hon. W, S. Hufford, Ralph Davisson and J, H. Wilson, all in battle array, sword drawn, edges keen, after the scalp of Ben ton's stalwart representative, Hon. T. H. Cooper, but all their filibustering will not outweigh the republican petitions brought him by the same mail, and thwart the peo ples' cause which Mr. Cooper has joined, Cries of "Soodle!" "High bids for votes!" are heard everywhere. Dolph and his cor poration backers stand ready at any time, it ia said, to pay any price required for a vote, Let it be either a bond, money, democratic, referendum populist, silvered, or other vote, previous party record not questioned. One vote has been, now four votes are, worth 100,000. MONDAY MORNING'S FIRE The first tire, attended with serious loss, that has occurred in (Jorvallis fur many mouths, broke out at 4:30 Monday morning, in the grocery store of Pearse, Clark & Co. Owing to the early hour, the tire was un noticed until it had gained considerable headway. Before the arrival of the fire de partment, the flames had communicated to the adjoining buildings. Notwithstanding that the building! on the corner of the block are all frame structures, only the one occupied by Pearse, Clark & Co. was en tirely consumed. ; The other buildings were a vacant saloon on one side and the Palace saloon, occupied by Ben Woldt, 00, the other. During the last 15 years, this cor ner has been three times visited by s de structive fire. The premises ocenpied by Pearse, Clark & Co. and Ben Woldt, were owned by J. E. Sorbin, The Dalles, who sustained a loss of about $1,500, with $850 insurance. Woldt lost $100 worth of stock, on which he had no insurance, Pearse, Clark & Co.'s loss ou fixtures and Btock will be $4000, 1 insured for $3,500. The loss of Mr. Zeis will be $200; no in surance. The official records of County Treasurer Clark were in the safe of Pearse, Clark & Co., which, on being opened Monday afternoon, ahowed the books to nave received no injury, ine nre is supposed to have been of incendiary origin and, bnt for the gallant work o the fire men, under the cool and efficient direction of Chief Whitehorn, the entire block would probably have been consumed. During the conflagration, Sam Case was severely burned about the face and hands, from an explosion of powder, and Solly , Smith's lee - was broken by his falling through a trap door in' Skipton's stable.

As John Sksggs was returaiag from Kings valley last Friday with four horses and a wagon load of wheat, when near tke bouts ho discovered bis own dog devouring one of W. A. Gellatly's sheep. . Throwing on ike brake and hastily wrapping the lines, he proceeded to castigate of said dog. The howls of the canine nettled the wheal horses and their movements caused their entaogle- ment in the lead bars, throwing them and breaking the wagon tongue. To go to the I assistance of the horses, John tied the dog to the feoce. The dog, thinking no doubt to expiate his crime by oapital punishment, jumped the fenoe and hanged himself "un til dead, dead, dead." Benny Taylor and Billy Min ton officiated as coroner's jury, and rendered a verdict in aocordanoe with th above facts. A vein of eannal ooal has been discovered on Mrs. A. Flickinger's ranch. Should the present indications increase with develop ments the find is of vast importance. Mr. A. B. Hamer was visited by a gentle man from Portland who wished to Investi gate the veins of granite clay and ochre on Mr- Hamer's ranch, mention of which was made in the Gazette some time ago. There is no doubt but that these veins will prove very valuable in the near foture. The young lady who came recently to board with S. M. Wood's iamily was the recipient of a rich present last week. It being no less than a fine satin dress, com plete in the latest Parisian fashion. A man stayed in our valley one nightIast week, who was moving to near Elk City He had a six horse team, and bad been eight day 8 on the road from Portland; was dead broke, and was disgusted with the roads. He has rented' a farm from an j editor, and while we don't believe an editor will lie, we are of the opinion that Mr. Thompson will be disappointed j whoa he reaches his desti nation. Bad as our chirography is, we never thought Paul could manufacture "Philomath" out of "Nashville." The gentlemau evidently forgets that we are vested with creative power, by virtue of our ancestry. We are always loyal to "the powers tnat be." Still, when we consider that the re cant decision of oar lyceum judges will go sweeping down through the vista of coming years, setting aside the discretion of congress , overruling the decision of the supreme court, making null and void the wisest statesman ship of the last thirty , years, we feel like saying, as did cue much more worthy: "Forgive them, they know not what they do." When a party makes a statement, and an other party afterward says he "didn't be- lieve a word he said," doesn't this border on the assumption that somebody has lied !

There will be a basket social and literary entertainment at the north school house Saturday evening. All are invited. The woman's suffrage question was dis cussed at the debate a week ago Saturday, and was decided in favor of the affirmative. Although there are no certificate holders in this section', there was general rejoicing whan the people heard the O. P. sale was confirmed. The first run of sawlogs was sent to the bay on the last raise in the river. But two logs were lost This trial was so successful that the contractors wi'l immediately make arrangements to procure more timber and will go into the business extensively next winter. The frequent echo of the blasting on the new south road reminds us that there is in dustry in our section. From those engaged in the work, we learn the boys are making good headway, considering that few of them had ever seen a hole drilled in a rock. Many of the holes are suuk to a depth of eight feet. The force is expected to be in creased this week. In the matter of the appointment of a re gent for the O. A. C, we think it would be well for the governor to. appoint a farmer. Mr. Bryson or Mr. Yates are either well qualified, but we think there are about lawyers and doctors enough on the board to manage the farmers' school. Quo. Mossback, For Sale.

HASH'S CHORA I. , By invitation of its members, a number f Corvallis people listened to the rendition of several choruses by the choral society, under the direction of W. Gifford Nash, at the old college chapel.laat Friday evening. It proved the musical event of the year.- In f sot, 00 this occasion was heard the best chorus siugiog ever produced ia this city. The work throughout, evidenced careful and intelligent supervision, aud the rendition of of the five selections was almost perfect, The rythm ws well modulated and the at tack in each chorus was especially noticeable for its evenness and power. The only criti cism to be mads of the work, was a slight tendency to disregard the pianissimo pae- sages in the "Good night" chorus, yet withal this number was well received. Mr. Nash, to rest tne singers, rendered several piano selections during the evening in bis asnal splendid style, which added muoh to the pleasure of those present.
