Driven to desperation by the mani fest failure of their attack upon Dr. James Withycombe because of the place of his birth, the Democratic campaign managers are endeavoring to abandon that issue and raise another. They have found that the people of Oregon will not be misled or prejudiced by vehement protestations against the Republicans giving one place on their ticket to a man who came to Oregon from a foreign country and spent 35 years of his life aiding in its development. Discouraged in their efforts to force an issue in this narrow fashion, they have sprung a new issue, narrower still, if possible, and on a lower plane. With glaring headlines they proclaim that Dr. Withycombe has held two offices In Oregon, one paying a salary of $1000 to $1500 a year, and the other a salary of $2000. Because Withycombe came to Oregon in 1871, and was appointed to a $l000-a-year office in 1889, and filled that and one other office since, they protest that he is unworthy to be elected Governor. Nflw, let us remem ber that this is a Democratic issue, which Chamberlain's friends deem important, and let us see to what it leads. The Democratic nominee for Gover nor came to Oregon in 1876, and in less than four years was a candidate for the Legislature in Linn county. The people raised no objection to his time of residence or the place of his birth, but elected him. Two years after his term in the Legislature ended he became a candidate for District Attorney in the Third Judicial District, and was elected. , His com pensation, under the then existing fee system, amounted to about $3000 a year. He served nearly four years as Attorney-General at a salary of $3000 a year, two and a half years as District Attorney in Multnomah County at a salary of $4000 a year, and three and a half years as Governor, receiving a salary and perquisites amounting to over $4250 a year. It will thus be seen that the Democratic candidate for Governor has received from the public In Oregon in the neighborhood of $42,000 for his services, while the Republican nominee has received $28,000, of which sum $16,000 was from the Federal Government. In proportion to the length of time they have been in the state there is little difference in the length of time they have been in public service. Now, what have the Democratic campaign managers gained by raising an ob jection to Dr. Withycombe upon, the ground that he has been upon the pay rolls of the state and Govern ment? If the Republican nominee is objectionable upon this ground, he is less so" than the Democratic nominee. But it is to be regretted that the leaders of Oregon Democracy choose to pursue such childish methods in a contest for the Governorship of the state. The Republicans have desired to conduct their campaign upon a higher level, assuming, for the sake of argument, that each of the nomi nees is a man of good character and fitness for the office, but insisting chat one stands for Republican principles and policies while the other is for Democratic principles and policies, and that the people should make their choice accordingly. As experience has shown in the last three years, the election of a Democratic Governor means the appointment of Democrats to fill vacancies and the aid of Demo crats to secure election. The election of Democrats to office constitutes a Democratic victory. If this is not a party contest, and if party lines should be ignored, as Democrats Insist they should be, why did Chamberlain and Gearin and others seek nomination in Democratic primaries when they could, with less trouble and expense, go upon the ballot as non-partisan candidates? This is a contest between parties and the Democrats know it is, but they seek to conceal the issue by resort to petty methods, beneath the dignity of full-grown men. Ore gon ian.

To the voters of Polk County : As the time of election is drawing near, and believing that every candi date for public office should make known to the people his stand upon questions of publio importance, I de sire to say that, if elected Sheriff of Polk County, I shall consider it my worn duty to enforce the laws as I find them upon the statute books. If elected, I shall endeavor to en force all laws without partiality. As the question of the enforcement of the liquor law has arisen in this campaign, I desire to say to the people that should the, local option forces be successful in June and the saloons be closed by the people's votes, I would, if elected Sheriff, see that they were kept closed, and would also use all diligence possible to prevent the illegal selling or disposing of liquor in the county. If elected Sheriff, I shall conduct the affairs of the office to the best of my ability, with a constant aim to deal fairly with every citizen and sec tion of Polk County. I respectfully solicit your support in the coming election, pledging you in return that, if elected, I shall use my utmost endeavors to fill the office faithfully and honestly, according equal rights to all and special privileges to none. Respectfully, M. D. ELLIS. Good Crops in Eastern Polk: W. B. Duncan, of Spring Valley, says that part of the country is look ing fine. From the present outlook the crops all over Spring Valley will be the best in years. He raises a large amount of vetch hay, which is in good condition, and will be greatly helped by the rain. The. fruit crop will be fairly good. Apples will be good, but the cherry crop will be very light, especially the Royal Annes. Prunes will be a heavy crop. The grain In that section Is also especially good,. and all the farmers are in a good humor over the fine outlook. Salem Journal.

Llneback is preparing to open an agency for the Allen & Gilbert Ramaker Company in Dallas. The store will bo located In the Uglow building on Mill street, next door to J. C. Uglow's clothing house. In addition to a stock of pianos -and organs, Mr. Llneback will carry a full line of small instruments, sheet music, and musical supplies. The Allen-Gilbert-Ramaker Com pany is one of the leading.piaco and organ houses on the Pacific Coast, and operates stores in many towns in Oregon, Washington and California.

There is every reason to believe that a well-conducted music store will suc ceed in Dallas, as there is a steady demand for instruments in the city and surrounding country. Mr. Line back will be assisted in the business by his wife, who will look after the business while he is on the road. Many Things to Look After. Before going into the booth to vote be sure that you have thoroughly In vestigated the initiative bill now be fore the people to foist upon the state the Barlow wagon road for 124,000. Each of the proposed initiative measures shouldbe scrutinized closely by every voter, but especial attention should be paid to the Barlow bill. The bill will have a very attractive title on the ballot, and for that reason may possibly receive many affirmative votes from people who do not under stand its real purpose. Brownsville Times. John Fischer Dead. John Fisher, manager of the Fischer theatrical company, died in Sau Jose, California, Tuesday. His body was shipped to his old home town of Silverton for burial, and the Knights of Pythias had charge of the funeral.

FOR BOTH One disease of thinness in children is scrofula; in adults, consumption. Both have poor blood ; both need more fat. These diseases thrive on lean ness. Fat is the best means of overcoming them; cod liver oil makes the best and healthiest fat and SCOTT'S EMULSION is the easiest and most effective form of cod liver oil.

J. C. Hedgpeth died Sunday, May C, 1900, at h is home near Lewis ville. He was buried Tuesday of the same week, Rev. Gard ne r, his i&hXot conducting the funeral services.

He was a good man, faithful in duties, patient in trials, clean in life, and triumphant in death, The floral tributes spolte volumes for his stand ing In the community in which he lived. To the bereaved family in their great sorrow we would say, try to realizo the beautiful words of Riley as true : "I cannot say, I will not any, That he is dead. He U jual away. Witu a cheery amile and a wave of the hand, lie haa waiuiored luto an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair It iiecda must be, nince he lingers there; And you, O you !

S. Will Use New Fish Plates. The Southern Pacific people are lay ing new steel rails through the Wil lamette valley, on the main line the heaviest rails used on the roads of this country. They are being so laid that there will be no jar or noise when the wheels of the cars pass over the joints. This is done with a newly in vented fish plate which gives the effect of a continuous rail. The new steel fish plate is a long one, and it comes up flush with the top of the rail, being fitted into the rail and bolted fast. There is room for play, to provide for the contracting and expanding of the cold and heat, but the fish plate is always flush with the top of the rail. It is held so firmly, by the groove con trivance and the bolting, that it must remain so. One traveling over rails fitted in this way will not feel the pulsation and hear the click-click they were used to when the old-fashioned fish plates were in use. There is a carload of these new steel fisti plates at the fair grounds now, ready to be fitted onto the new heavy steel rails that are being laid. Statesman. Hop Men Incorporate.
