Our cstteuietl contemporary, tbe Baker City Republican, Las dropped into tbe habit lately of viewing the necessities of this great common wealth of ours from various points of view ami urging the necessity of liberal appropriations from congress for measures that ore absolutely necessary for the development of our resources. Then, as if by natural sequence, the coming sena torial contest is introduced and a pen picture is given of the only kind of senator that will be able to urge these necessary appropriations from a reluctant congress and then by a dexterous twist of the pea the living imne of Ex Senator Coibett stands revealed. After performing one of these feats of editorial legerdemain last Thursday the Republican teems to have realized for a moment that somebody in the crowd wis making faces at the image It had conjured up and it gave vent to the following little side-speech : "There are those who oppose this election because he (Mr. Corbett) is a man of wealth. In fact that is tbe only objection we have beard raised," and then the Republican very Justly roasted tbe ltryanites and populists for their "silly mania that the sue cessful men shall not be eligible for office." But where has the Republican been all these years if it never heard an objection against Mr. Corbett save that he is a man of wealth? Has the Republican never heard of the legislative bold -up of 1897? Is it not a matter of common report, we bad almost said of common knowledge and belief, that this "man of wealth" furnished the sack that Jonathan Bourne used to such ad vantage for defeating the will of the majority of the legislature and ac complishing a most revolutionary and unrepublican proceeding? Does tbe Republican not know that Mr. Corbett was himself a candidate for the senatorship, a candidate, by the way, who would not be thought of in a thousand years were it not that be is a man of wealth, and that to defeat Mitchell every populist In the lower house, by the open, twice- published confession U'Ren of Clack amas, who was one of them, was bought off from taking the oath of office and assisting in organizing the bouse, and that the active agent in accomplishing this work was a man who was, at the time, practically a pauper? Is it not a fact that the headquarters of this practical pauper was an extensive building filled with every luxury that conld tickle the palate and debauch the senses, as well as with a harem of Cyprians from the purlieus of Portland for tbe gratification of the grosser beasts? Does the Republican believe that it could find a score of men in Ore gon who are in any measure ac quainted with the history of the legislative hold-up who could be got to testify that they do not believe that it was Corbett's money that was used in this and other ways to de bauch tbe legislature? It is the solemn and honest belief of the editor of The Chkonki.k that Ibis man Corbett has done more to corrupt the politics of this state tban any man living, save, possibly and al wajs, Senator Simon. And Ibis is the man a clamorous republican faction would foist on the people of Oregon for senator. Miy a merciful heaven foibid! the Union Livestock Company. Jer ry has become a corporation all by himself! Let him not be guilty of tbe awful crime of trying to make all tbe money be can, which, according to good populist doctrine, is all right for tbe farmer, but oppicssion for the middleman and tbe corporation. Tbe next thing Kansas populists know Jerry may try to break into the republican party. This question of the. passage of a shipping subsidy bill, says the New York Sun, is not a question whether tbe country shall undertake the task of increasing tbe business of a few shipbuilders and making them rich. It is not a question of benefiting tbe scacoast at tbe expense of the rest of tbe country and of adding to the wealth and business of a few sea ports. It is a question of developing trade that is of tbe most far reaching consequences. This matter 'reaches deep into tbe interior and affects di rectly tbe farmer thousands of miles inland and woikingmen in every part of tbe country. A hundred iu d us tries are concerned in various ways. There is a vital relation be tween the farmer of the Central West, tbe iron ore miner of tbe North, the lumberman North and South and the restoration of tbe American flag to the commerce of tbe ocean. The band of destiny points toward the sea. Let tbe flag go up, not on ships bought and brought from other countries, but on ships made here from truck to keelson. Let the hammers ring and let every rivet driven home proclaim the fallacy of the free ship policy and make stanch and right the truer policy of tbe restoration of our merchant marine by wise and prompt legislation. SHIP bl'BSlDY MENDACITY. If The Chronicle had any thought of supporting Mr. Corbett, of Port land, for the United States senate, it would hardly dare say so, under the circumstances. Tbe reader will ask, "Why?" This paper has been re - ljably informed, and Grmly believes, that there has been a general canvass of this state by Mr. Corbett's agents, the principal purpose being tbe pur chase of newspaper thunder in the interest of Mr. Corbett. The Chuox kle cannot be bought, and proposes to be above suspicion by keeping clear of any sort of support of Mr, Corbett. Besides, he is totally unfit for the United States senate, but is an easy maik for the bosses, hence the opening of the bar'l. If tbe bbip subsidy bill is as bad as some of our democratic contem poraries arc trying to make it, surely it is not necessary to lie about it in order to make it appear worse. An article in a Baker City paper, credited to the Salt Lake Herald, after characterising tbe bill as "the most gigantic steal that has ever been masked in the guise of paternal legislation" adds that: The total cost to tbe people of the United State in the payment of subsidies during tbe life of the measure has been estimated at more than 1,500,000,000." "Estimated" by whom, we 6bould like to know? Tbe "estimate" would have been just as correct if ten more ciphers bad been added to the right of it. The bill distinctly provides that tbe aggregate amount of the subsidy shall not, in any one year, exceed 9,000,000, and as it provides tha; subsidized vessels shall carry the United States mails free of charge, as against a present annual cost to the government of a million and a half dollais, the net annual amount of the subsidy would never exceed $7,500,000. Tbe "estimate" of tbe Salt Lake paper is therefore cor rect only on the supposition that tbe bill, when it becomes a law, shall have an cxislance of exactly 200 years! The Herald estimates, presumably on its own hook, that the Standard Oil Company alone will reap a round million from the ship subsidy "steal." Possibly, for it must be admitted that tbe Standard Oil Company gen erally gets there with both feet, but in that case the company will either have to build the number of new vessels necessary to earn tbe million dollars of subsidy or change tbe present form of their vessels, which are simply huge oil tanks, and in tbe latter case they would be required, besides, to build new tODnage equiv alent to at least 25 per cent of their present tonnage, the end and aim of the bill, whatever its wisdom, be ing the increase of the number of ocean going vessels that carry the American flag. The Hewer Queetlon Again. Th Dai-lbs, Dec. 10, 1900. To the Editok: A communication signed "X" in your paper again open the sewer question. First. "X" says that the system adopted by the council and beaten by the tax payers wonid probably be the cheapest and best. Now, Mr. Editor, ail think lng men know that we need sewers; but why should tLis city adopt a plan of sewerage where the fall, according to "X," is bat Uiree inches to'the hundred feet, (see plans at recorder's office) when Datura has provided an abundant fall from bluff to river. Again, "X" says it would be expen sive to go nnder the railroad at various points. I will cite "X" to the fact that the couring mill went under tbe rail road track a whole street at an expense of not more than 28, exclusive of the pipe, and I believo ttiat the same can be done at most other points hen neces sary to cross. Laying a drain down Mill creek (if the privilege can be got with out expense) I believe would cost more and would be carrying all of our eggs to market in one basket, whereas by the present system we divide the risk. As to the payment of cost, I say let all pay that attach, or expect to, as a sewer if good for one is good for all. Ueceptloa to i'roreeeur MeaklD. Prof. John P. Meakin, head camp lc turer oi the Woodmen of the World, arrived in our city last Saturday even ing, and spent Sunday with our local Woodmen, who gave bun a reception at the Umatilla House last night, after which the party went to Fraternal hall and spent a couple of hours with the professor, listening to a short address, a sweet song and his fitvorite poems.

Another Hold-Up. 'When Oregon had only one sena tor, we beard an awful roar al.out it from Mr. Simon's friends, but this does not seem to apply when Mr. Simon has "axes to grind." Ho re mains in Portland and will stay there till tbe first of tbe year, while Oregon is represeuted faithfully by Senator McBridc, in tbe higher branch of congress. It is well for tbe people to be acquainted with these facts. Submarine Hoat Lecture. New Yobk, Dec. 10.-J. P. Holland, Inventor of the submarine boat, gave be fore a large gathering of students and friends of Manhattan Co'lege last night the Introductory lecture to a course in naval architecture, which is beiotf es tablished in that institution. Shaking of tbe snbmerged boat, he felt sure that Its day had come. Six of his submarine boats had been ordered by the govern ment, and thougltinadequnte in number for tbe protection of the long const line, they would, however, promptly and effi ciently deal with any attacking fleet. Other nations were also equipping their navies with this naval arm. I!e-i.lcs its ntiUty in defense and attach, Mr. Holland affirmed that the submarine boat was eminent'y fitted f-ir pa-fengsr traffic. For tr ins-oceanic travel, how ever, it would be a CJtninurcul failure, but for short pasait-s it would h in valuable.

He went to the Uma tilla House last night to see a gentleman friend, and finding that the friend had retired for the night, Mr. Stewart re turned to bis rooms, traveling east on First street to Washington.
