OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
RESULT Or TBE CONTENTION.
In this issue of Tbc Mist will be found
a detailed report of the deliberations of
the Columbia county republican conven
tion held at Rainier on Monday last.
The ticket put forth is the result of the
determination of the delegates after
much canvassing of the situation, the
sentiment being uppermost to put up a
good ticket. The especial fitness of the
candidates and their worth as public
servants was the dominant object in
view when the convention proceeded to
business, and the result is a good, clean
ticket that any republican can earnestly,
honestly and cordially support, besides,
it will be supported by many persons
who have heretofore held opposite po
litical opinions who are no longer wed
ded to the peculiar methods of modern
local democracy, populism and fusion.
Of course, there were disappointments,
as there must certainly be in such
bodies, but the disappointed ones and
their friends realize that someone bad
to be left out. They are not disgruntled,
however, and will put their shoulders to
the wheel and assist in swelling the
enormous majority that is in store tor
the ticket. There is something more
behind the ticket than the mere person
ality of the candidates or individuals of
whom it is composed. These men were
not nominated altogether because they
are capable and deserving, but because
they are republicans, and Btand for the
interests ot tbe party and the promulga
tion of it principles. Tbe politics of
tbe county officers is important to the
public in their bearing upon more im
portant places. Success in little things
means success in greater things, and a
vote for one person on the ticket means
also a vote to strengthen the legislative
ticket, which, at this time, is of vital
importance to Columbia county. We
have for United States senator the name
of a fellow countyman, whose re-election
we are decidedly interested in, besides
due regard for onr interests by the re
election of Congressman Moody. The
ticket should be supported and elected
for several reasons: It is clean and
competent; it ia republican and stands
for tbe principles of republicanism ; it
waa the will of tbe majority that the
several men on the ticket be nominated
for the respective place ; and, because it
is the result of concerted effort on the
part of people opposed to the tearing
down of good government by the degra
dation of our monetary system with all
its consequent disaster. Tbe struggle
has been a bard one, but populism, with
all its dogmas and fanaticisms has been
discredited and completely beaten down
in our midst, and the decision of our
people at the polls will be that republi
can rule is good enough. The conven
tion has done its work well and the
people of the county will set the seal of
their approval upon it on tbe 4th day of
next June. Had it been within our
province to select the entire ticket we
would have made but few changes. Our
personal desire for the success of one or
two friends may have prompted us to do
otherwise than did the convention, but
at the same time we cannot all view
such matters in the same light, and we
are always willing to abide the decision
of the majority and those put there to
speak for ns. Again we cay the ticket
ia a good one and will be elected.
At the republican county convention
for Wahkiakum county, Wash., held
last week, the only resolution passed by
that body was one favoring the election
of United States senators by the direct
vote of the people. To accomplish this
reform in our laws will require an
amendment to the United States con
stitution. Such an amendment can be
submitted to the people by two-thirds of
both houses of congress or an application
of the legislatures of two-thirds of the
several states. It is hardly to be expected
that the United States senate as at pres
ent constituted will favor any such
change the only hope of the people being
to demand recognition through the leg
islatures of the different states.
Is stirring political times it is not
wise to get overheated. A man gains
nothing for bis candidate, friends or
party by unnecessarily exciting the op
position in urelept gabble. It has but
a tendency to make the enemy work all
the harder, and while hurting the pros
pects of friends who are aspirants to
office, engenders ill feeling that in some
instances never wears away. There is
more profit in calmly discussing contro
versial points thau by bellowing at each
other, and in imagining that the very
life of tbe nation depends upon getting
the better of the other fellow in an ar
gument over political questions.
It is not alone in mercantile and in
dustrial lines of business that labor has
been more amply rewarded and capital
lias received better returns from its in
vestments since the arrival of the pros
perous period inaugurated by tbe return
to republican administration of na
tional affairs. While the laborer has
found emplovment, which was denied
him in the days of democratic depres
sion, and has had his wages gradually
and perceptibly increased, the farmer
has also been receiving his share of the
general prosperity.
Thk republicans in their convention
on Monday selected a set of candidates
who can go before the people with clean
records, and against whom no com
plaints can be uttered. With such a
ticket suceeas is assured for the republi
cans in June in this county.
Ano now there ro heart in (rloom in
the Drat congressional district. Mr.
Tongue was re-nominated on the first
hallot at the McMinnville convention on
Tuesday. He received 101 votes, ten
more tl'ian were necessary for choice.
The combined opposition developed
little strengt h, mounting to but 02
votes, of which Hatch, of Marlon, re
ceived the greatest number of any one
of Tongue e opponenie. i-oiuicri aspir
ations of the onnosin candidates are
shattered to frnmiienttf. ami the Ikjvs
will return to their homes weaker but
wiser, and fully satisfied of the truth
fulness of the saving that tnere are
"ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain." Mr. Tongue wilt lie re-elected.
That Pettigrew, once the idol of South
Dakota republicans, is now the most
despised man in the state, is shown by
the action of the republican connty con
vention at Watertown in adopting a
resolution denouncing him as "an advo
cate f treason and a traitor to his gov
ernment and to his state." Thus are
the mighty fallen. It is safe to predict
that IVttigrew will not receive the vote
of one patriot in South Ihikota in the
coming election. Pioneer l'resa.
Geo nog M. Cornwall, who, for eleven
years past has had editorial charge of
the lathiamet uaxette, a nreezy mue
paper which has taken up and contin
ued the work of Pacific's zephyrs in
wafting current eventt to every nook
and corner along the Columbia, last
week disposed of his interests in the
paper to Mr. A. C. Miller. We predict
success for Mr. Miller and continued
prosperity for the Uazette.
Tire farmers of Oregon will this year
obtain not less than five million dollars
from the sale of sheep and wool. The
sheep industry of the state ia now
almost as much of a factor as wheat is
in supporting the people of Oregon. If
wheat should continue low in price and
wool remain high it will not be long
until the sales of sheep and wool will
bring more money into the slate than
the sales of wheat.
W. P. Elv has aeain taken editorial
charge of tbe Kelso Journal. Ely has
bad a rest from newspaper drudgery for
nearlv two vears and should be able to
enter again upon the many duties with
new zeal and vigor.
Columbia county voters are a little
more energetic in "registering, the rush
having already begun. Tie well.
THESE WB WILL VOTE FOR.
Besides Usual Officers, Five Amend
ments to Constitution.
In addition to the regular election for
county, district and state officers to be
voted for at the approaching election,
there are also the following constitu
tional amendments to be voted on :
Municipal indebtedness amendment;
judicial amendment; irrigation amend
ment; repealing amendment; and an
amendment for equal suffrage.
"Of these propositions ttie first abro
gates the present section of the state
constitution, which provides that no
county shall incur an indebtedness
exceeding in the aggregate sum of $5000,
and in its stead proposes to substitute a
section that shall exteifd the limit of
indebtedness to cities, school districts
and other municipal corporations, 3
well as counties, ao that their aggregate
indebtedness shall not exceed 5 per cent
of the taxable property therein.
"At present there are throe justices of
tbe supreme court. If passed, the judi
ciary amendments will increase this
number to five.
"The irrigation amendmendment is
an innovation and that passage will add
another article to the state constitution.
The constitution of 1857 contained eight
articles which have been preserved. If
it receive the sanction ot the voters,
tbe irrigation amendment will be known
as article XIX, and under its terms the
necessary use of lands for the construc
tion of reservoirs for purposes of irriga
tion, and for the construction of ditches
and flumes to carry water for the devel
opment of natural resources or the
preservation of health, is declared to be
a public use and subject to the control
of the state. The right to appropriate
from any natural stream, unappropri
ated waters, and shall not be denied.
The use of waters now appropriated is
declared to be a public use as above,
subject to certain regulations. The
right to collect compensation for use of
water is made a franchise.
"Section 35 of Article 1 of the state
constitution provides that no negro, not
living here at the time of its adoption,
should ever hold land or be allowed to
make contracts or maintain suits in the
courts. Upon the passage of the Four
teenth amendment to the federal con
stitution this section becomes a dead
letter, and tbe 'Repealing Amendment'
seeks to efface it from the organic law
of the state.
"In voting on tbe question of the
'Equal Suffrage Amendment' tbe ques
tion to be determined is whether or not
tbe constitution shall be amended as
follows:
"Article 1. The elective franchise in
this state shall not hereafter be prohibi
ted to any citizen on account of sex.
"Article 1 of the constitution contains
thirty-five sections but the joint resolu
tions as adopted proposing the amend
ment does not state which particular
one it is desired to amend."
Cnrtls on tbe Kopje.
As nearly as we can learn from the
latest heliogranis, Commandant Curtis
has reconnoitered in force and occupied
the Clatsop county kopje as a prelimi
nary to a general movement, horse, foot
and baggage, agaisnt the enemy, which
he will soon lead in person. In the
meantime Commandant Fulton is pursu
ing his customary policy, throwing np
intrenchments, laying in vast stores of
ammunition and encouraging his troops
to daily devotions. Tbe signs of a fear
ful and sanguinary conflict between tbe
erstwhile Damon and Pythias of Clatsop
republicanism causes the moon to ap
pear crimson-hued whenever it shows
itself. Astoria Budget.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern that is not
afraid to ha generous. The proprietors
of Dr. King's New Discovery lor Con
sumption, Coughs and colds, nave given
away over ten million trial bottles, and
have the satisfaction of knowing it has
cured thousands of hopeless cases.
Asthma, bronchitis, lagnppe and all
throat, chest and lung diseases are
surely cured by it. Call at the St. Hel

Tbe Best In the World.
We believe Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy ib the best in the world. A
few weeks ago we suffered with a severe
cold, and having' read their advertise
ments in our own and other papers, we
purchased a bottle to see it it would
effect us. It cured us before the bottle
was more than half used. It is tbe
best medicine out for colds and coughs.

COUNTY SCHOOL FUNDS.
Amow.nl on Hand Apportioned to the
Heveral Districts.
The county school superintendent has
apportioned the county school money
on hand on the first Monday in April to
the several districts as is shown by the
following table. The amount appor
tioned to the districts are proportion
ately less than in former yenrs, owing to
the tact that the levy for school purposes
is one-half of r mill less this year, be
sides there was less saloon license money
received this year than formerly. The
number of the district appears first, the
name of the school clerk secondly, the
number of children snd the amount due:

" Bryan's Record.
The personality and record of Bryan
will be platform enough to procure his
defeat at the bands of the industrial
and commercial forces of the country,
which are the potential forces of popular
self-interest in politics. These forces
may be divided on the question of the
personal worth or weakness of President
McKinley, bnt will lie a unit in the con
clusion that it would be supreme folly
at a time of unexampled national pros
perity to place the administration of the
national government in the hands of a
party whose engineers are a piebald
collection of political cranks and charla
tans, whoee finance is equipped with
the brains of folly and the soul of fraud ;
whose statesmanship would in anarchy
soon survey its national empire and be
hold its ultimate home. The stars in
the courses have fought against Bryan
and his faction since 1896, and he will
probably be beaten to a pulp next No
vember, because the prosperity of the
country has utterly discredited him as a
political prophet aud stigmatized him as
nothing but a vociferous quack and a
tireless political tramp. Oregonian.

Two Funeral Orations.
By the irony of fate and the exigen
cies of personal ambition, it became tbe
duty of the Hon. Joseph C.Blackburn
to pronounce tbe funeral oration at the
coffin of William Goebel. And of Goe
bel, Senator Blackburn said :
"Build here over bis grave a mighty
towering granite shaft that shall defy
the corroding touch of time. Inscribe
upon it an epitaph that shall be worthy
of the man. He earned this at bands.
In life and death he was consecrated to
the people's cause. He lived an honest
life, and gave his life for your deliverance.-
Of him no eulogy buttrnth may
say: "Earth never pillowed upon her
bosom a truer son, nor heaven opened
wide ber portals to receive a manlier
spirit."
At Covington, on Sunday, April 14,
a little less than five years ago the
eulogist of Goebel pronounced another
funeral oration. That time he ktood by
the colli n of Col. John L. Sanford, who,
like Goebel, had been shot in the high
way. And of Sanford, Senator Black
burn said :
"John Sanford was to me like a
brother. I loved him. I hope God may
pare me, and I shall make it my life's
mission to avengo him by burying his
slayer in the depths of merited public
execration."
The slayer of John Sanford was Wil

About three years ago my wife had an

swollen to double their normal siso.
