A CITY IN SHAME, The disgraceful episode of Sat urday night tumilates every decent citizen of Corvallis. Had private citizens engaged in such an exhibition of outlawry against a respectable gentleman .the matter would have been bad enough. Had one policeman, under the influence ot liquor, in sulted and threatened a peaceable stranger it would cause us to blush. But that the chief of police and the nightwatchman, comprising the entire police force of the citv. should, by these threats and actions, cause a visit in? gentleman to be tearful f walking the streets lest he be shot down like a dog by the vary men from whom he should ex pect protection and whom . the city has clothed with full police authority, is an unutterable blow at our pride. The whole affair is so peculiar and so unreasona ble that the relation ot it seems dream of a De Ottincv. It is however, too lamentably true. One citizen remarked that "whiskey" was the explanation of the whole affair, bait alas that word explains too much. We mav foreive a drunken man but we .cannot forgive a drunken officer. Whiskey as an explana tion simply fixes more directly the responsibility of the people for that most unfortunate attair. The voters had no business elect ing "whiskey' as the police de partment of Corvallis. When the people select as guardians the city's peace and safety, men, who allow whiskey, to take pos session of their senses, they make a mockery of the 1 'protection society." The blame rightfully attaches itself to the whole city. The duty of our citizens is clear and imperative. The.-.aight watchman should be dismissed and charges should be preferred against the chief of police look ing to his speedy removal. The councilmen should have no per sonal feeling in this matter. Their first duty is to the city. No plausible excuse can be made by the policeman for "their extra ordinary misbehavior. Both ad mit being so drunk that they knew not what they did. An outraged community expect the councilmen to do their duty and vindicate the city of Corvallis. LET US FACE THE FACTS. It is evident that Senator Mitchell perceives the danger to American interests that lurks in the suggested resurvey of the Nicaragua canal route. In an interview with a New York Her ald correspondent yesterday the Oregon senator said: "I am in favor of the construc tion of the canal under American control, whatever may be the cost and however great the obsta cles may be that are in the way. I have no patience with these delays. There have been no less than eleven surveys on this route already, and there is no necessity for any further survey prelimi nary to actual work. I am in favor of going right ahead and constructing the canal and over coming any obstacles that may be found in the way." That view of the matter is both practical and patriotic. The report of the government com mission does not pronounce the construction of the canal unfeas ible. It merely points out sev eral defects in the route adopted by the company, and states that they can be overcome by spend ing more money than the compa ny's estimate calls for. Such being the case, it is not necessary that the government should post pone, assuming control of the canal until new surveys have been made. As to the question of cost, it should be of secondary interest in a project that involves the upholding of American dignity aiid the promotion of American commerce. And as it is a ques tion that must be met soon or late that would be as formida ble after the proposed surveys were made as it now is the soon er we meet it and dispose of it the better it will be for our national welfare. We could bet ter afford to delay taking hold of the canal and to haggle over the cost of its completion if we. were not confronted by an active and enterprising rival for its owner ship. English brains and Eng lish capital are endeavoring to secure a grip on the canal, and the longer we dilly-dally in the premises the more favorable be comes England's prospect of euchreing us. Either the canal is worth com pletion by this government or it is not. If it is, we should assume control of it at once.s If it is not, we should drop the project I right now and give England a clear field to secure the key to western commerce. That, is the hard, practical way of looking at the matter. The coming con gress should face the facts pre sented by the commission's re port and act in accordance with them. Consideration of the suggested appropriation for an other survey should be deferred until the question of whether the United States shall, or shall not exclusively control the canal is definitely disposed of. Portland Telegram. Played an the Mud. There have been many grames of football played on the O. A C. gridiron but the one last Thursday between the soldiers of Vancouver and the O. A. C. eleven was without doubt the most interesting of any hereto fore played here. The visitors were no match for the home team and when time was called at the end of the second half the score stood 18 W o in favor of the farmers. The attendance showed that though the home players were out of it so far as the champion ship was concerned, the football spirit was still alive. Notwith standing the fact that the weather was cold and disagreable and a drizzling rain was falling during most of the afternoon fully iooo people saw the : soldiers go down in defeat. Of this number, how ever, not more than one-half paid for their pleasure. The county xoad leading toward Col lege hill .on the north side of the ground proved a good location from which to witness the game and several hundred persons stood out . there rather than pay the required 25 cents, that would entitle them to admittance to the grounds. During the first half Prof. John Pulton served as' 'referee and Will H. Bloss as umpire, their positions being ' reversed during the seoond half. Mr. Harry P-oggers served very satis factorily a3 linesman. Playing commenced at 2:45 and from the first it was evident that, the home team would be the victors. Their game was the most brilliant one ever put up on the O. A. C. field. Not one of the eleven sturdy farmers shirked his duty and under the splendid generalship of Miles Phillipps the boys redeemed themselves. The soldiers evinced cafeful training but at times they showed an unfamiliarity with the game that told against them. . They, however, put up a game fully equal to that of the Forest Grove team which played the O. A. C. eleven three weeks previous, thus showing the re sult of earnest, hard work on the part of the home players in their preparation for the game. The O. A. C. team can rightfully give Coach Downing a large share of the credit forwinning the game, for it was due to his careful and conscientious train ing that the boys were able to attain such proficiency. Had he arrived sooner in the season it is very probable that Corvallis would have taken at least second place in the struggle for the in tercollegiate championship.

Corvallis then sent Aber- nethy through center a couple 01 times and scored another touch down. Score 8 to o. On the third lineup Vancouver kicked off, but Pap McAllister put up his arm which reached most to the sky and stopped the ball on the 45-yard line. - Phil lips carried the ball ior a lair g-ain, but oa the third down it was passed to Abernethy tor a fake punt This play proved disastrous, Corvallis losing io yards by the operation. A fake punt was tried again, and Aber nethy regained the lost ground by a good run which brought the ball well into the soldiers' terri tory. He was then sent through center, and when time was called the pigskin was on the soldiers' 5-yard line, and in their posses ' ... sion. The second half opened with a kickoff by Vancouver, the ball coming into the possession of A. Stimpson who carried it several yards. Abernethy then ham mered the line for 10 yards, but the ball was lost to the soldiers on a luuiDie.. iney ianea to make their yardage, and the ball again went to- the farmers, who soon worked it, by a succession of center plays, across the sol- diers' goal line; but Abernethy failed to kick goal. Shortly after the next kickoiT. Corvallis lost the ball on a fum ble, but on the third down Van couver had failed to make her vardaee, so it again came into possession of the home team his star play, taking the ball around the soldiers' left end for a run of fully- fifty yards. Bloss, however, brought him back 20 yards upon the ground that he ran outside the line. ' This decis ion met with general disfavor, as many who were in a position to know, claimed that Oberer, al though close to the line at one time, did not get outside of-it. Burnett took the ball for an end run and succeeded in making a fair gain. On the third down Abernethy tried to kick goal from field but failed, and the ball was stopped by a soldier at the goal line, who was tackled by Ed. Stimpson. The ball was then brought to the 25 yard line. Welch was substituted for Bodine. Corvallis lost the ball on a fum ble but soon had it again, owing to Vancouver's inability to make the requisite yardage, which was largely due to some splendid work on the part of Welch, who went through their line and tackled the man with the ball. End plays by Phillips and Kelsay and a cen ter play by Abernethy soon took the ball-over the line for another touchdown. Burnett then kicked goal,, the first during the game, and added 6-points to the farm ers' score. Time was called soon afterward with the ball in the farmers' possessioon. on the sol diers' 25-yard line. Score, O. A. C. 18, Soldiers o. A Piano For 40 I ! ! Chicago's most prominent music house, Lyon and Healy, have a number of slightly used and second-hand pianos, taken in trade, used in concerts, and in fuct not brand new instruments, which they have determined to sacrifice rather than to try to make room for. These instruments comprise Square pianos at 810, 05, $90, S100 and ?125. Upright pianos at $125, 140, 150, 9165, 190, 5200, $223, 300 ?240 and upwaid. Grand pianos at 250, 300 and upward. Nearly all originally sold from two to four times their nt their new salesrooms, cerner Wabash Avenue and Adams Street, Chicago, " Dis tance is no obstacle in taking advantage of this remarkable chance to obtain a piano, for in proportion to the saving to be made, the freight charges are insignificant.

It may not bo true that the larger proportion of intelligence is found ashore, but tha number who follow the sea, compared to their speciss who ciing to native earth, is very few. "When one, therefore, who reads and thinks, and in meditation and study grows wise, and yet is willing to forej;o the allurements of social life, and find a home amid the majestic billows of the ocean, we , are inclined to wonder at the attraction such . a life can have for such a man. j Captain Winant was such a man. Culti- j vatcd in art, i'l sciraco in literature; con" ! scientious in his political beliefs: wise in his ! economic and s-jcial views, -his was a raits and brilliant mind. To equalize any somber shadows which the danccroui diameter of his vocation might have. cast about him, na- i ture bad endowed him with an incxhanstub o fund of humor, which . found expression in so gentle and refined a manner as to leave the impression of sweet music on his com panions. The story of his lifa will never be adequately told. No one could have told it j so well as ho. ' There was a deep and abiding j faith in tho virtue of mankind. That is a good kind of faith - to have. Virtuous men asd women have such a faith. : With Gap- tain Winant this was not merely sensuous, j It-lightened oveey dark 'Tecs and made plain every avenue from which his intelli gence -went forth to conrmhiglo with the in telligence of tho race, and it necessarially follows, that he appeared to others as be be lieved the right sine of humanity to exist in them, lie was, accordingly, gonial, courte ous and sincere. Seamen are universally i sincere. Their life is real, and that irsurcs j sincerity. , .'. - . . Perhaps no words can TUJittingly illustrate tho gentla nature of the man, as that touch ing poem whih be wrote after the death of hiyoung and lovely wife, some six or seven years ago.. "It is as follows: ' IN ilKSIORif OJf MI'S. J. J W1JCAMT..' "Keep quiet, lot mo die ini peace. Take good care of the children. Amie." ' It was near the hour of midnight, The city whs nt rest, ' -When we knew that sho was dying, . Our deai'est and bur beit. Yet calm and brave sho waited, Hor beating heart to erase; And she mumered low, "keep quiet! Oh ! Let me die in peace." "Take good care of tho children," Again she softly said; ' Then 'hcrjhoart beat low and rested, And we knew that she was dead. ,Wu knew, before tho sun rose x On tho next succeeding day, A band of loving ingcl Would have borooi.far away. " I stood and gazed upon her, . , My darling one, myall; . : Then 1 left the dying beflsida, . ' And passed into the hall. ' And there my little 'jN ita, .

And her voice was full of pain; ' And then her eyes grew brighter, And she said, "ilamoia'i grow jigain." Oh ! that a touch of childish faith, A ray of heavenly bliss. Could come to every weeping heart, In snob nn hour as this. . And ifjsuch faith by naturo " Is in arly childhood wrought, How sad that we should live to doubt, And grow beyond the thought. And our da;ling'littlj baby, As she saw us stand and weop, - Looked calmly on her mother, And said, "Poor mamma go to sleep." Yes, darling little children, Your mamma's free from pain; And maybe vou but speak the truth, , . To say she'll live again. lutuitive in you may be Divinely planted thought; For from the mouths of babes 'Tis said, the greatest truths are taught. The manner in which Capt. Winant met his death is known to all. He died in the dischargn of his duty. What manner of death could be more sublime, than to die protecting the interests intrusted to him. Men die on the battlefield protecting their country, which msans their families, their homos, property and government. .That is patriotism. Man die protecting property entrusted to their keeping. ,That is heroism. Patriotism and heroism are synonomtus terms. The patriot is a hero; the hero is generally a patriot. Captain Winant was a hero in every sense of the word. No one knew so well as he the imminent dangerof repairing the rudder gearing, and on this errand he went alone.- To'savethe lives of his men and tho property of his charge, he gave up bis own life. It ha3 been well said of him, that to die thus doing his duty, and as every brave seaman might prefer to die, among the billows where he had made his home was a fitting death for such a man. But it can still more truly be said of him that in thus meeting his death in tho dis charge of his first duty to his men and his employer, he exemplified tha rarest trait of human character which can be possessed by any man: Faithfulness unto death. The wild breakers will dash against the Pacific shore when all of us are gone. ' The sweet songs of little birds will be sung about his grave in that silent city, in the sunny Southern land where his remains have been bud to rest, no more to bo tossed about, the sport and caprice of everv wild and tempest-uou- vyago; but the spirit of Captain Wi nant will seem to live along the sea, and to those who have known him well, every dorp and solemn surge of old ocean will seem to sing a mournful roquinm to his memory. Did I say mournful ! Not so, for the memory which lives after him, will bo full of tho brightness of his spirit as we knew him; and i ver thus will his life and dostinv boa silent irisnira'i n toward the liefer on rl mi, erlife to which nil true womon mil men aspire.
