W. Grace The Republican Party a Party of Fraud and Corruption Mark Hanna a Briber. Well, the people of Ohio have disgraced themselves again, not only disgraced themselves but also the whole people of the United States as well. The re-election of Mark Hanna, a known briber, to the office of United States Senator, is of itself a crime that could not have been tolerated for a single day, even iu Ohio, duriig the times of lower tariffs. Yet this man Hanna has been honored and not condemned for thus trampling on the rights of the peo ple. Who is to blame for this crime of bribery? The Republican party of Ohio directly, and the Republican party of the whole country indirectly. Note the fact, in face of this highly dishonorable dealing, of his boom for the presidential nomination. Is juBtice dead? Is liberty dj injf, leaving the doois open that lead to an autocratic government? I am well convinced that three-fourths of the whole peopld of this country con demn the policies of tin Republican party of today, and yet somehow that party seems to win its way to the front, first through money, second through in timidatiou of labor, and third, by ap pealing to the passions of men for na tionrl honor. Notwithstanding, these three-fourths are dvided and quarreling among themselves as to which fourth stands the more for the constitution and for liberty, knowing full well that such divisions are politically criminal, while unity alone can lead to honorable suc cess. It is largely due to these divisions that Bryan vr8 defeated fof the presidency in'96, and probably again iu 1900 . Had Bryan been elected president in '96, po litical and social reform would have found more listening ears and perhaps more ready hands for their advance, ment. Now the people have a harder task to perform in these diiections, so many wrongs having to be undone, and a false education to be removed. These divisions have of late years allowed sev eral Republican governors to be counted in the office when a majority of the pop ular vote was against them, thus mak ing more difficult the task of political re form . Who are to blame for such re sults? Those who preferred division and defeat to unity and victory. The PopuliBt party, the Socialist party or the Democratic party are either of them preferable to the Republican party. The Republican party ' ia the common enemy of us all. And I am ready for either one of the three if by that means we may secure a change of administra tion. Until Republican rule as it now is is broken there is little hope for po litical or social reform in this country. Yf m. Phillips. PROFESSIOITAL CIIDS J)R. GEO.

"An honest man is the noblest work of God" was never better exeaiplified than in his life and character He was a "sucker" by birth, having first seen the light of day in the State of Illinois. He was born in that state on the 2Gth day of February, 1854, and had he lived until the 20th day of next month 0 f ' - , - ,'. V f ' ' - i 4 r i ,j' The Late C. he would have rounded out a full half century of life. Coles county was his native heath . When only three years old his parents moved from Coles county to Missouri, where the young lad grew to man hood's estate. He was one of a family of five children and grew up much as country boys ot his time reach their manhood's estate. He went to the common schools, secured a fairly goci education and studied surveying which be adopted as a profession . In 1880 he re moved from the state of Missouri to Oregon and located in Clacka mas county and has resided here continuously from that time until the date of his death. , He had been twice married.

For six years he conducted a general merchandise store at Olarks, this county, and for a number of years was one of the prominent mer chants of Oregrn City. In 1896 he was elected Sheriff of Clackamas county by a very large majority on the Populist and Democratic tickets.

WILDCATS NUMEROUS. Mrs. Busch and Small Children Snow bound in Mountains Visited by Cougars. Mrs. Frank Buech and small sons had an experience the last of last week which they will remember for some time. They visited their homestead near Dodge post office, in the foot hills of this county ,and near the Cascade Mountains. Tbey found the snow bo deep there that they were unable to return. As soon as the warm rain came the snow quickly washed off, and tbey returned to their borne here on Friday. Large numbers of wildcats were driven down from the rrouutaina by the sno w and surrounded the cabin at night, causing the iumalea consider able uneasiness. The footprints of numerous cats would be visible in the mornings in the snow about the cabin. The animals even be cam so bold that tbey tried to posh open the door by jumping against it with their front feet. During the winter these animals are made desperate by hanger, and they become very bold. From the size of the foot prints they were very large specimens of (he genins wildcat.

BANNER SALVE the moat healing salve In the world. Socialism vs. Competitive System Revival of the -Nelson and Myers Controversy Both Wan the Rascals Out. In the first place, Mr. Nelson claimed he wanted the rascals turned out and invited me to help. I asked him to help prove to me that what made Re publicans corrupt would not also make Democrats corrupt. Have you attempted to do so, Mr. Nelson? I gave you my opinion as to what made men corrupt and did you deny the statement? I cited you places where the Democrats were corrupt, did you deny ? You Bay even in your last ar ticle and all the way through, "Human ity is a selfish set." This is my claim, but, sir, i have given you my reasons why man is corrupt. You give no rea. son but say we are born corrupt, which I deny contending for the environments of childhood and state what they are ; do you deny? Do you deny? Stubbornly you hold to tne ground that we inherit selfishness and corrup tion, but you haven't attempted to prove it. Should your statements be taken for the truth, you have lost your point to turn the rascals out, by your argu pient. You would put another set in. You said in your first article you object to Socialism because it destroys individ uality. I answered that, fhowing you the class of people that objected, and asking you to define yourself, where you would draw the dead line. Did you do 80? In fact.vou have not answered a single question put to you and have utterly, failed to prove the Republican rascals and the Democrats saint"! You say men will not surrender what rightfully be longs to them. Who is demanding that, pray? I am sure I cannot get that infor mation out of the Socialist platform. You must have had an attack of pluto cratic nightmare. Knowing you to be a man of education, I Can't accuse you ol being ignorant; also know you to be honest and truthftl ; I can't accuse you of trickery so you must have dreamt it. You have told time and again that tne Socialist demands that the laoorer aud producer ehould have the full product of their toil. We ask only our own. We don't want any of your property without full compensation. We demand the ownership of all public utilities ; by the law of eminent domain. I was in attend ance at the circuit court as a juryman, when Judge McBride made ton decision.- Private property cannot be taken for private use, but private property can be taken for public ubb. This decision is under the law of eminent domain. Now what about houses and farms for rent and etc. My answer to this is, labor created eveny thing in the way of property. Under Co-operation labor would build its own houses and clear its wn land and rent for profit would be "nit." Interest oa money would be "nit." You speak of a bloody revolution, Mr. Nelson. How long do you suppose the laborer and producer are going to surrender what justly be longs to them the free product of their toil without a revolution? What was the cause of the civil war? Profit in human slaves, profit has been the cause of all wars. Remove the incentive to profit and wars will be "nit." Now I will close this article, already too long but with the consent of the editor will show up individuality and the incentive under the competitive sys tem in my next. In my previous article Mr. Editor, you mis-quoted me as sav ing "uses of money ,houses,etcj" should have read "usury in money, houses, etc. Somewhere between the lids of the good book usury is denounced.

The first 'Vrnp" or fight which has been pulled off on the Btreets or in the saloons of Oregon City since the Fourth day of last July came off near the Gam brinus saloon on Monday evening just as tne Bhadows of night were gathering over the old town." Fred Miller is a millwright by trade, He is 66 years old and works for the Portland Flouring Mill and is an industrious and steady citizen. After his day's work is done he will some times take a drink and once in a while possibly more than it is neces sary to take. He has a sou, Theodore Miller, who is 23 years old and who woika for the Portland General Electric Company, and he is a huBky, big fellow. The younger Miller objects strenuously to the old gentleman taking his "tea''. On Monday afternoon the old gentleman was standing at the bar in the Gambrin U9 saloon, . drinking and talking to friends. Just at that time his son came in and seeing his father's condition and what he was doing walked over to him, grabbed him by the shoulder and threw him acros the room, the elder Miller falling heavily upon the floor. Mr. S. H. Griesson, brother of the proprietor, who was at that time behind the bar remonstrated with the younger Miller and told him he must not treat his father in such a rough and uneeemly manner. loiing Miller replied with an oath and in an ugly manner, and then the fun be gan, Mr. Greisson climbed over the bar as quick as a cat bn a fenCe of a dark night and begin to mix things up with young Miller. They fought over the saloon and out of the door into the street. Greissen getting the best of the scrim mage. Bystanders separated them, and then Chief of Police Burns and Recorder Bruce Curry got buRy and the resul was a $5 fine a piece for Theodore Miller and Fred Greisson, THE OTHER SIDE OK TUB STORY. Feeling the injustice of the statement made in the daily press relative to the recent affair in the streetB of Oregon City I wish to state that I waa making an ef fort to get my father home and away from a place, where owing to his un fortunate condition ue was not able to care for or protect himself. It is an un pleasant task to be obliged to make re ference to such a matter in the daily papers and if it was not for the mis representation of the pulbished reports I would not do so. , J found my father in a saloon in an unfortunate condition of ' intoxication, and spending his money in the free way he is to apt to uo when in that condition. I had succeeded in getting him out of the saloon and bad sont for he'p to en able me to control him and get him home when the bar-tender followed us and as saulted me by biting my band and en deavoring to prevent me from what I deemed a very unpleasant but necessary duty. Everybody in this community knows father's misfortune, and the trouble his true friends have often bad in pi eventing him when in that con dition from being allowed to squander his money for the benefit of the hangers on of the saloon. I am willing to leave the verdict of the people of this community to decide if I was right in the matter and wiBli to protest most earnestly against any state ments that I was mistreating or roughly handling one whom I am in duty bound to respect and protect, even under sucn unfortunate conditions.
