Thi arrival of the season for politi cal discussion and intensified activity among national, slate and local politi' ciana cannot be said to be hailed with delight, but the conditions are here and the duty confronts the people of decid ing the issues by ballot. Before that time arriyes, however, there is a vast amount of preliminary work to be done, and it requires constant care and atteiv (ion by some one, that no important duty can be left undone. This work, ma a matter of course, is expected to be attentively looked after by members of the county organizations, and to say the least, the position is an unenviable one. The importance of a double campaign next year involves new duties which cannot be shirked. ' The campaigns of J 900 are to be strictly political. ith the exception of the supreme judge and perhaps two or three less important positions to be filled in the state, the issues next June will be altogether po liticsL The congressional election in that month will call forth direct en' dorsement or direct repudiation of the national administration by the people of Oregon. The relapse from the political fever, which will reach its highest tem perature early in Jane, will set in dur ing the latter days of the summer, and interest will continue to develop until the ballots are counted early in the month of November, choosing between one political party or another for presi dential electors. Hence, in reality, the campaign in Oregon will open with the first of the year and continue almost uninterruptedly throughout the entire year. As a matter of fact, the results re not dfficult to fortell. The people of Oregon -will never allow themselves gain to be socomp'etely humbugged by agitators and cranks ai they were in 1896. Time has proven to the complete nd absolute satisfaction of all good peo ple that the precepts of the demo-pop party as they advocated in this state and nation four and two years ago would be injurious policies if adopted. The in formation comes through observation and practical object lessons. The re turn of prosperity in this state came at once upon the replacing the republican party to power. This is not idle prattle but an acknowledged fact by even those persona who were loudest in their de nunciation of the principles and pur poses as advocated by republicans. National issues are made up entirely, of course, from the questions interest ing and affecting the whole nation, and no stronger argument can be produced in favor of prevailing conditions than the conditions themselves. As a matter of fact, the campaign throughout the approaching year will be but a matter of form because theconditions which obtain will receive a hearty endorsement at the hands of the American people. The doom of demagogism, fanaticism, popu lism, free silveriBm, contraction, repu diation and demoralization is sealed forever. .. Laugh and the world laughs with yon ; weep and you weep, alone. There is a man with a grievance. People want to be amused. They neither want to see your boil nor hear your groans. The only thing a man wants to hear is some thing to tickle him or to shock him. People have their own troubles. Sym pathy is generally lavished on its owner. When a man borrows trouble, he does not borrow it from him who hag it to spare. Ninety per cent of your grievan ces are imaginary ; one hundred per cent of the sympathy you receive is also im aginary. If you want to be appreciated tell your audience either a joke, or some thing involving your neighbor's charac ter. Then there is the man whose questions have no ending; whose an swers have no beginning. He is a social town pump; he pumps you till you are dry then closes up like a clam. The way to choke this gentleman off is answer his first question by asking an other. He always begins with a sick amile and an indifferent tone. Then there is the man who says: "I don't want you to get mad at what I'm going to say." Always reply, "No; if you promise not to get mad at what I'm going to say." The fact is, "silence is golden." The man who tells all he knows only tells bow little he knows. It ia as hard to talk much without talk ing of yourself, as it is to talk of your self without lying. ArrEB naming Populist Allen for ap pointment to till a term in the Renate, Bryan discovers that he has incurred the displeasure of many former hearty supporters in his home state, most not able among them being Editor Hitch cock of the Omaha World-Hernld. Ne braska democrats are not a. together cnarmea mm Bryan s uoeraiuy. YOTERS MUST BE REGISTERED Complete Resume of the Reg istration Law. Strict Compliance with Uio Provis ions of the Act will ! ltcqnired. Every elector In the state must regis ter between the first Monday In January, 1900, and 6 oclock P. M. May 15 follow ing. Such was the law passed by the last legislature. A voter may register with a notary public, justice of the peace, or county clerk. Electors are not sub ject to expense in the matter. A book containing the registration of all voters in the county will lie prepared and from this general book smaller one will lie made giving the Hat of electors iu each voting precinct. Electors will be numliered, consecu tively, in each precinct, as they are entered in the general county register. The clerk shall require of tiie elector such information as his registration number, day of registering, full name ol elector; business or occupation ; age of the elector in years ; country of nativity ; if natnralizedj the time, place and court of naturalization or declaration as evi denced by the legal proof exhibited by the elector. The actual and precise place of resi dence of the elector at the time of his registering will be asked, and the pre cinct, and, if in the country, the town ship, section and range; in cities and towns having streets, bv specifying the name of town or city, the street or oilier I - r ..... i n! .:.u location oi uie uvtciiiii-pini-v, ini nn number of the dwelling, if it ha a number, and if it has not, then such a description of the place that it can be readily ascertained and identified. If the elector be not the head of the house it must be stated, and upon what floor thereof and what room the elector oc cuoies in the house. It must also be stated whether tSe voter is able to write his name or mark his ballot. If the elector's iuability is apparent in consequence of some physi cal infirmity, such as blindness or loss of a limb, incapacitating the appllicant from writing, this fact must be set down in the register. Should the disability be illiteracy of the voter, the clerk shall, in addition to stating the fact, enter as full a description of the physical pe culiarities of the elector as possible, giving height, approximate weight, com plexion, color of eyes and any visible marks or scars and their location. The law is very explicit and enters into smallest details; until after a per son has gone through the process of registering he will think he is under suspicion for murder. Should an elector change his resi dence after registering, he may, before the books are closed, cause his former resignation to be cancelled, by a request in writing to the clerk where he regis tered, on a specially prepared blank. Section 12 of the law says: "No person shall register who is not a qualified elector in the predinct iu which he reg isters, and who is not a resident thereof, or register in a name rather than his true name, and no elector shall register a second time in the same precinct or register in any other precinct until his first registration has been cancelled." Upon the day of election the judges, as soon as an elector applying to vote has given bis name and residence, ehall ask the elector if be is registered, and most also examine the register. Even though a person may be registered his vote may be challenged before his ballet is actually in the box. If not registered the elector is to be conridered chal lenged. In case of a challenge the voter may subscribe an oath on a blank pro vided for that purpose, and this also must be sworn to by not more than half a dozen freeholders. In trying such cases the election judges have power to issue subpoenas to require the attendance of witnesses before them. The last section of the law gives the following warning: "Any county clerk or clerk of any county court, or any deputy of either of such officers, or any judge or clerk of election, or any justice of the peace or notary public, who shall willfully disre gard any of the provisions of this act, or who shall willfully fail to perform any provisions of this act, or any person who shall willfully or fraudulently register more than once, or register under any but his true name, or attempt to vote by personating another who is registered, contrary to the provisions of this act. or knowingly register in any precinct where he is not a resident at the time of registration, upon conviction shall be punished by imprisonment in the peni tentiary not lees tnan one year, nor more than three years, or by a fine not less than $100 nor more than 2000, or both such fine and imprisonment. Any person who shall falsely swear to any affidavit required by this act shall be deemed guilty of perjury, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished ac cordingly." For those who for any reason cannot go to the county clerk for registration, the law enables them to settle the mat ter with a notary public or justice of the peace, special blanks being provided for the purpose. These officials do not col lect any fee from the elector, but receive 10 cents for every blank filed with the county clerk. PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS. Jr ever a fellow needed a holiday it is the next day after he has had a holiday. Tub Mormons who want bygones to be bygones made a mistake in sending a by gone to congress. With the solid South against him it is hard to discover where Colonel Bryan will cut much ice. It will require lots of practice to be come accustomed to write 1900. Colonel Bryan has been at it for nearly four years. 1st the Nebraska senatorial contest Mr. Allen refused to be side-tracked. Is there no way by which he can be ditched ? Perhaps the worst thing that can be said against Aguinaldo is to charge him with being the Ooebelof the Philippines. It seems from the democratic confer ence in Chicago that the managers of the party are for the old ticket and the old result. Now that Aguinaldo's location is un known, Billy Mason will lie required to nominate some other Tagal cutthroat for a later Washington. Cora Habvky's new book is on money, trusts and imperialism. It will be as accurate and trustworthy as his publi cation of 1896, which leaves no more to be said. The great Carnegie steel works will advance wages over 7 per cent on Janu ary 1. This will be an agreeable New Year announcement to several thousand workingmen. Evening Telegram. Thohk who say the gold standard is al ready established cannot reasonably ob ject to a law making the matter perfect ly distinct and unassailable. Old Santa Claus was merrier this year than he has been for many a year past. He haB been to the wars, and was ac companied this year by that popular hero, General Prosperity. Telegram. 01)1)8 AND ENDS. A writer In nn up-state paper begins an observation with : "Organ grinders are still on earth." If they weie only still but they are not. There is a drawback to everything in this world. The bitnrvst stocking the small boy can tind ia the goU variety without any foot in it. It is a mistake to suppose that color i hit the hair nrodiu-eil softening of the brain; it ia the other way, soiteningof the brain inspires tne use ot me uye. Airuinaldo left his last cnpitol for tail' itarv reasons, and that the state of his health requires that the name of his present onpitol should bo kept quiet. The Portland exposition realized 112.45 for the monument fund, aud this sum has been turned over to the Ore' gonian. The total amount received up to ante is 9,o.4. Perfect quietude in the Philippines is not to bo expected for several months. The 60,000 men sent across the Pacific will secure it, however, at the earliest practicable moment. It is a pity a republic of savages could not tie organized somewhere, and Billy Mason put at the head of it. The object lesson would be interesting and the ex perience salutary to Uilly As long as a bandit is left in Luzon somebody will pop up to exclaim that the "insurrection is not dead." If not de funct it is mightily scattered compared with what it was a lew moutns ago. Now that Ooebel is practically dead the Keutuckyiana ought to bury him deep and dance on his fcrave until the earth is packed down nood and hard. Even his ghost should be forbidden to warn. The man in Crescent, IU., whone house was smashed by a meteor, ousrht to leel himself greatly distinguished that he was not extinguished. No other citizen of the entire world has been picked out for such celebrity. Senator McBride, in the matter of committees, is the beet placed man of all the senators on the Pacific coaet, and of the entire nation, for that mat ter. This is very complimentary for Oregon, as well as to our senior senator. lleppner tiazette. Bryan has invested fflO.OOO of his profits in U. . government bonds. II one could gain access to these particular bonds he woulit, ol course, and plainly written across the back of each one of them in red ink a record of Mr. Bryan's willingness to accept payment ot both principal and interest in any kind of old dollars that may be about as good as Mexican dollars. As will be seen elsewhere, our repre sentatives and senators are sntisned with the committee assignments made fnr them. Well thev Bhould should be. The people of Oregon are also pleased that their representatives should be so admirably situated to do good worit All the members of the present session ot congress lrom Oregon wore not we choice of the Gazette, but they have been elected, and in their work for their state they should have the well wishes and help ot all. tleppner uazette. It is said that American soldiers in the Philippines were vastly surprised to learn that one of their American silver dollars would purchase two of the Mex ican dollars in common circulation there, notwithstanding the fa:t that the Mexican coin contained more silver than the American. The explanation of the paradox lies in the tact ttiat the treas ury of the United States stands ready to exchange an American silver dollar for a gold dollar, or vice versa. It ia the maintenance of the gold standard that makes every American dollar, whether metal or paper, as good aa gold the world over. How is this for Oregon? Frank H. Mason, consul general at Berlin writes to the state department: "In respect to dried apricots, peaches and pears, it may be said that these fruits from the Pacific coait of the United Suites domi nate and control the markets of conti nental Europe. Nothing comparable to them in point of size, flavor, tenderness of pulp, and general excellence had ever been seen in fcurope until tney were im ported from the United States. They have established wholly new standards of excellence, and created a new mar ket, which, if the trade is properly managed, they can hold in future against all probable competition. A suit, probably the first of its kind in Washington, has been filed in Thurs ton county by T. N. Henry, county school superintendent. The suit is brought under the provisions ot ttie compulsory education law, and the superintendent desires an order of the superior court to compel John McDon ald and wife, of Tenino, to send their three girls to school, in conformity there with. The law, up to the meeting of the last legislature, was considered a dead letter, but amendments were made then which, it is thought, will make it effective. The penalty for its violation is that a child may be removed to guard ianship other than the parents', or a fine of not less than $10 or more than $'5 may be levied. McDonald and wife have been cited to appear January 2nd and show cause why they have not con formed to the law. FOB SALE.
