The forty-day hold-up .at Salem will go down into history as the worst conducted political battle ever fought in any, state in the nnion. There has been no organized fight on either side, unless the combination presided over by Jonathan Bourne can be classed as such. It has been tLe struggle of two. or three mobs, ench without intelligent leadership; but of all the silly side-show ever accompanying the political circus, the Davis house is entitled to the chromo. ' One would think that Davis and the two or three imbeciles that are associated with him, would take a tumble to themselves; that they would discover that they have no existence. Davis was legally elected speaker of ihe temporary organiza tion, though by questionable methods, and remained speaker until the house removed him. Of its right to re move him there is no more question than of its right to appoint him : but Davis eviJeqtly took his cue from Joe Simon", and thinks that the mo ment he was elected he became greater than the power that elected bim. i As a case of aggregated and ag gravated individual and collective assininity, Davis is a Gulliver among the Lilliputians. ' IT WORKED ON HIM. Mr. Jones letter, which appears on our local page, gives quite a dcscrip tion of bis pedigree. As we read it .over we Called to mind a story of a man going to Texas in an early day, ,lie was crossing ( tne babine river, the boundary between Louisiana and Texas, on a ferryboat. Addressing the ferryman, he asked how it was that Texas was so full of sharpers and men without much principle, yet who were all making money. The ferryman jokingly replied that when those fellows came to Texas thev all took a drink of Sa bine water, and that was the cause of it. Without sayiug a word, the stranger dipped up a pint cup full of water and drank it When the boat reached the shore he mounted his borse and put out on the run, with- ont paying the ferryman. The latter looked at the disappearing horseman a moment, and then remarked: "Well, I'll be darned if I "ever saw that water take effect so quick be fore." Jones' pedigree is good, but the Oregon climate took effect on him too sudden. THE TRUE SITUATION. ' Our local page today contains Rep resentative Huntington's views on the situation at Salem, and while its . perusal will show that Mr. Hunting ton attempts to put the matter fairly and conscientiously, it will also con vince any unbiased person that the blame for the hold-up lies with Joe Simon and the anti-Mitchell wing of the Republican party. The Republicans in the senate favoring Senator MitchetPs re-election, although in the minority, made so attempt to Lola that body up, but did their duty by going in and organizing, even though Joe Simon, their enemy, was made" president thereby; they bowed to the will of the. majority and voted for Suron, boi because they liked him, but be cause the majority of the party in the senate wanted him. The Re publicans in the lower house favor ing Mitchell, claimed the right they had conceded to those opposed to them in the matter of organizing the senate, that was the right of the ma jority to organize. the house. -This the Simonites would not iiotmit, and instead of submttlinz to the will of the majority in their party, a faction joined the Populists and bi-metalHsts, refused to qualify .'and so prevented the organization' of the house.; They then claimed they , were willing to compromise- on their own terms1 and those were that moie than thirty Republican members should surren der to less than ten;' that the small minority should dictate to the large majority ; that the Republicans, with fort members in the house, should elect a speaker from the Populist party that had a membership of thirteen ; and that Senator Mitchell, who bad a clear majority of both bouses in the caucus for senator, should be withdrawn, and the minor ity that would not attend that caucus should be allowed to name his suc cessor. The refusal of the Populists to qualify of course made this action by the Republican contingent possible, and the Populists are undoubtedly to blame for refusing to qualify; but the weight of the offense cannot be placed en them. The Republican minority can settle the question at any time without them. The game is in their hands, and however much the Populists may be to blame for refusing to assist in organization, the fact remains that the Republicans can organize at any time without them, and hence those Republicans who hold out must bear all Cle blame. It is to the Populists' interests to prevent the election of a United States senator, and the are working for tne nenent or their party, it is to the interest of the Republican party that a senator be elected, for only by that means will the party have control of the United States senate. The Simon Republicans are working against their, party, and giv ing the control of the senate to those opposed to Republican principles. And what is all this tempest al leged by these immaculate politicians to be raised for? -The election of a Populist speaker over a Republican house ? Nobody believes that. The Simonites are holding out to beat Mitchell, and nothing else. If they will go in, "organize the house, and then beat Mitchell, no one will ob ject They can vote as their con sciences, Joe Simon's interests, di rects. The objection to their action is not on account of their senatorial predelictions, but to their holding up the organization. . As to Mr. Simon's assertion that he did not agree to support Bourne for speaker, but only not to oppose him, that is the thinnest thing Mr Simon ever did. If he will not op pose him, his henchmen cannot go contran to Bourne's helots; hence, must stand with him. 'The Populists, under the leader ship of Bourne, have v violated all their pledges." True. Equally true" is it that the Republicans who refuse to organize the , house have violated all their pledges. The Republican party is not to blame. A large ma jority of its members desire to do their duty, and all of it; but the Simon contingent has thrown party and principles literally to the dogs, and it alone is responsible for the situation at Salem. gave notice that he did not intend to stay in Salem indefinitely. There are a good many others in his frame of mind, and an ear.'y adjournment may be looked for. There are some who realize this will be positively their last appearance before the pub lic, would like to hold on as long as possible, but they cannot hold the sensible ones long. ' i , ' ; gested that $400 would be sufficient, Carnegie replied that it could not be made profitably foi less than $450; but now that the iron basses have fallea out, offers are made to furnish ahy quantity , of it for $240 a ton, Somebody has evidently been lying about the matter. A COWARDLY COUNTRY. It were .hard to decide which civ ilized nation of the earth is at pres ent showing the greatest evidence of moral cowardice. Looking at. the situation, in TuikeyVwe should say England was entitled to the honor but as we cast our eyes on Cuba, we feel that England isn't in it. , In Ar menia and Crete the Turks are kill leg the citizens of those places. In Cuba the Spaniards are killing not only the Cubans, but ever' day or so they assassinate a citizen of the United States. - England, with all her cowardice protects lier own. The United States alone 'can be slapped to sleep by a tenth-rate power, and has not the courage to resent it. Russia conducts her affairs as though she expected to exist as nation forever, and so is regardless of time. In 1878 on the settlement of -the Turkish war indemnity, it was arranged that Turkey was to pay Russia $1,500,000 a year for 100 years. In 1892, Turkey being un able to meet her payments, Russia scaled dcuvn her debt to one-half the original sum, and recently a further reduction was made, Russia agreeing to tako 25 per cent of the original sum, and at the same time the period of payment was extended 400 years. When the carving comes to be done, Russia will Be on hand with her claims, and will demand a liberal share of the white meat in payment of her debt. .. The Oresonian takes Bliss, Hoar, Thurston, and all the other eastern senators and politicians who have ventured suggestions concerning the legislative muddle in this ' state to task. It tells them to mind -their own business as curtly as Pennoyer did Cleveland. It is true it took Pennoyer to task also for his boorish- ness; but there is a vast difference between boorishness on the 'part of Pennoyer, and "on the part of the Oregonian! They are entirely dif ferent animals. While reading the riot act to these gentlemen for inter fering in something that is none of their business, it proceeds to lectme the United States senate on its duties in connection with the admission of senators. The Oregonian editor is becoming senile, and its utterances are but the silly vaporing of toothless age, they have lost their bite. Senator Smith voted in the1- senate to adjourn until Monday, but he It is astonishing ho- quickly the governments of Europe can unite to attack Greece to prevent that plucky little nation protecting Christians from the murderous ..Turks. . Their speedy action is in direct contrast with that a few short weeks ago. when they all sat idly by while the Turkish soldiery massacred defense less women and children. If it has become necessar' to maintain peace in Europe to permit wholesale mur der, to humor the fancy of the un spcakable Turk for massacre, and to suffer the Christian population of Crete to be slaughtered, then the sooner the peace of Europe is de stroyed, the bettei. This is tne anniversary of the birth of the immortal Washington and had he lived, he would today begin his 165th year. Wonder what he would think of this country if he could see it now. What would he think if he could if he could cast bis his eye "where rolls the Oregon and knows" nothing," unless Joe Sipion says so? or rcEt his gaze onUbna than's side whiskers? What would he think to see free-born -American legislators groveling at the feet of a party boss, as a Senegambian helot cringed before ' the lash of his Spar- 'jan master? What? . Judge Bellinger iu his attempt to force a right of way for. the boat railway over private . lands without having the government pay what the right of way is found -by the juries to be worth; is doing great damage to the Northwest, by delaying . the construction of the boat railway. Nothing can be done until the right-of-way question is settled, and the matter bids fair to be postponed in definitely on that account. The loss to, the people by delay is a hundred times greater than the total sums awarded for the right of . way. The Bourne contingent do not want - much. All that mob asks" is that the majority "exhibit a little patriotism" and allow the minority to organize the legislature and elect a senator. In return for this they propose to give nothing, thinking the majority should be satisfied with showing their, patriotism.. . Carnegie and others have been charging Uncle Sam $600 a ton for armor plate. secretary Herbert thought the price too high, and sug- Over in the Washington legisla ture Jory, the member from Yakima, explains some foolish actions of his by saying he is troubled with "dys pepsia of the brain." We suggest this to the member from this county who cannot tell Bourne's headquar ters from the state capitol. But no that cannot be, for while it may be dyspepsia, it certainly never attacked that brain. No man knows what the Oregon legislature will do; Tmt from 'the proceedings' Monday it looks as though no agreement can be reached, and that adjournment sine Deo will take place .tomorrow. Some think the' senate cannot adjourn without theaconsentof the house. If this be true, and' the house refuses to or ganize, the senate will have to sit for two years. : - General Weyler,the Cuban butcher, is getting frightened. Recently the insurgents have made it extremely tropical for him, and he is in con stant fear of being killed by a sharp shooter. There will be no extensive evidences of regret in this country should he be popped over at any time. American steel rail makers have met the competition of the world in the world's markets, recently secur ing a contract for 13,000 tons of steel rails for a Japanese railroad at 13 cents less per ton than all other bidders.

The Cline dispensary law, passed by the lower house at Olympia Tuesday,. finds few supporters in this part of the moral vineyard. It pleases neither the prohibitionists nor the defenders of the liquor traffic. It is not fish, flesh nor fowl, and the people of the state will spew it out of their months. y Prohibitionists condemn the- law be cause it makes the people of the state, through their public officers, assume all the responsibility, for the evils of in temperance. The large majority of Bentible people condemn the law be cause Jt cats off all revenue from the liqaor traffic, at the same time that it confiscates millions of dollars' worth of property in the hands of citizens, who have been given no warning of sncb raeh and unjust action on the part of our lawmakers. The proposed system is revolutionary, and calculated to arouse bitter strife and insurrection. As well, might the state, license incendiaries, to apply the torch to all saloons, breweries and dis tilleries in the state.

It was four years ago next month that Urs. M. M. Hoyt, who lives at 2429 Wenfr worth Avenue, earns to Chicago. She was at that time bed-ridden, suffering from in Bammatory rheumatism and not able to raise her feet from the floor. One of the best physicians in Chicago treated her here three weeks but was unable to 'effect, even reliet He gave up her ease, believing nothing could be done for her and that she had but a few days to live. In speaking of her Bufferings and the re lief and permanent cure effected later she says: "When I was five years old I was taken down with inflammatory rheumatism. but after a comparatively short time it pass ed off, and I was free from all its symptoms until I was fourteen years old. Then I had another attack, of which I was cured, and did not have a sick day until four years ago unristmas afternoon l&ft. . . "I had lived twenty-six years in Luding- ton.

I knew all the prominent people in Manistee and it was hard for me to close my Dusmess ana leave all tne people l bad known there for years. - My four children, all of wnom are married, uvea in other states.

I took their advice and came to Chicago. "Kheumatism was in my hands, my feet ana my neaa. in tact it was all over me be sides having heart failure. I could not think of leaving my chair. .1 was unable to eomb my hair, I was practically helpless at me wme .1 came w vaicsgo- -. uo ypu see ui those white , scars on my hands 7 Well, let me tell you how I got them. My hands be came tearfully swollen with the rheuma tism and were smooth and shiny just like a piece of glass. The skin by the swelling was stretched to such a point that it burst wherever you see the. scars and from the wounds came water for auite a Ion? time. My- sufferings were almost unbearable, and I faned the treatment of one of Chicago's oldest ana best physicians. 1 took his medi cine for three weeks, but only mew worse. I became so nervous that-1 could not sleep and my stomach became so weak, whether rrom tne strong drugs or my general debili tated condition I know not, but it was diffi cult for me io retain any solid food. Ht) gave up my case and advised me to send Sot my husband. . ... " I knew by that advice, that he did not give me much longer to live. Instead I went to one of my daughters who lives in the southern part of Indiana, in Elnora, Davis County, where her husband, Asa Haig, was one of the prominent merchants.- I believed the climate there, being away from-the in fluences of Lake Michigan might help me. I had been in Elnora about one week, not feeling any -better, when one day I received from my daughter in"Chicago three boxes of Dr. Williams' r JfroTH the ChronicU, Chicago, IU. . Pink Pills for Pale People, telling me in her letter that she had read in a newspaper of the wonderful cures they had effected. That she had gone to the wo men the newspaper spoke about and found then and .they told her every word said about thent was true. She pleaded that I try these pills and perhaps I would find the lame benefits. I did not hesitate.. as any thing that promised relief, let alone a cure I tras only too glad to try. I commenced tak ing them, two pills three times a day. "For eieht months nasi I had not been able to comb my hair, dress myself or walk, and had to be fed during all this time like a -babe. Well, the first pills I remember dis tinctly, I took on a Saturday, and the follow ing Monday I found this improvement: namely, my nerves seemed to be firmer and my pains less. I wish to state that at this time, for the last four mqnths I had not slept over an hour at a time, had suffered so great ly from nervous prostration, to the extent that -the least noise would completely upset -and make me shake like one having the agsje. This Monday evening I was sitting in my -chair, and bear in mind, my daughter's house was full of company" making more or less noise, all tending to keep me nervous. With all that I commenced to feel easier, a strange and quieting feeling I iiad not experienced unnstmas arternoon i was stnexen since that Ci down. I called Ada, I don't know to my daughter and said, what has come over me, I feel so restful and actually feel sleepy,' think I will try to eo to sleep.' I could se that she was surprised and pleased. Imme. p.' I could se diately she undressed me and put me to bed. "I slept soundly from 0 o'clock till 1 o'clock in the morning, and that mind you with a house full of people. I remained awake but a short time, feeling better than I ' had for months, and went into a sound sleep, never waking till 7 o'clock in the morning. It was very hot down there in August, but from that time I slept and rested well. Then I felt and saw an improvement gradually go. ' ing on. The first thing I noticed was, that the swelling in my hands was going down; and after several weeks assumedtheir natni al shape, and the tightly drawn skin, which looked like glass disappeared altogether at well as the pain. - Before this time when, ever I tried to close mv hands my fineei joints woul&.crack and the same cracking sonnas l heard when l bent my eiDows oi tried to raise my arms as high as my shoul ders. All this left me and also all the fierce rheumcfuo pains all through my body. -. I came back to Chicago entirely, cured, feel ing hale and hearty, and that after having nsed the miraculous Pink Pills of Dr. Wit liams' for about four months.- I suppose I had taken during these four months, aboul one and a half dozen boxes. - "It is now over three years ago that all this happened, and I have never felt better . in my life. Yon can see ioi- yourself that ? am pretty spry on my feet. I have no pains, no aches nor anything that would suggest tc me now, the terrible time I had then. .There 3 is another thing I wish to say in .regard ta -the Pink Pills, which to me signifies a .great . deal. That is when he weather changes, . from extreme heat to extreme cold, or from ' dry weather to raw, damp, chilly weather, ' as we had the past two weeks, and nave every little while in Chicago all the year around, I feel twinees and little pains in mv shoal. ders or in my arm, or perhaps it may be in my side. sIL I have to do is to take a few of . the pills for a day or so and they take every indication of those pains away. . "With the exception of the periods when the weather is frightfully miserable, I hays ' not taken any pills since I was cured. 'Aha -the pills I have taken since have not been for my old trouble,- but simply for colds1, which have tried to settle in some parts of , my body, and which the pills have instantly . driven out. I also wish to state that the pills have cured my heart trouble, and in fact I am in perfect health in every respect."- aw . " (Signed.) Mas. M. M. Hott.
