TlnjMreport is commendable, lor it proves conti naively that a man cannot get into Uiel UniWd Slates senate by the prevention dfIaitsion of state legislature. Tbe wfltev hua iever believed Mr. Cor bett woutlti Wted and there are indeed comparafivelj-'few'. people who believe the governer'ivlidnf.irt 'so- when the appoint ment waS made',' En" something had to be done to trtVfTV'A'teSWertCy'of good faith with tbe old grirrtlem'aYi.'

The legislature was held up, the election of a senator prevented and Mr. Corbett was duly appointed by the governor and thus tar the job, so far as Oregon was concerned, waa complete. Hut United States senators could not be purchased for $80 a head. That august body could not Indorse the chicanery of U'Ken, Harkley A Co., in debauching a sovereign slate, and consequently Mr. Corbett, at least poorer, If not wiser, will have tbe opportunity of paying bis own fare back to Ibe state be assisted to disgrace. The others who as sisted in tli io disgraceful drama will meet the sam fate when the time cornea. Thiri is no d I (Terence between a man who proves a traitor and tbe one who applauds his acts. Therefore the man who upholds the Salem disgrace confesses that be would do tbe same thing if given the opportunity. An accomplice In murder is equally guilty with the matt who handles the gun, and shows his willingness to do the killing himself if the gun was in hla own hand. So also with the man who an. plauds tbe Salem conspiracy be is as guilty as tbe conspirator. Tiierb was no day during the entire at tempted session of tbe last legislature that the populist could hot bave made up a quorum with th 20 republican wbo were, there every day anxious to organise, The' v republicans used every honorable argu ment with the populists to Induce them to do their duty, but not a single one of them would take the oath or enter upon the di h.PtfB nt lk.. fln, In Ik. ... 1. 1 L. had elected them. Wrier, th.n ,h.,8lMS (''" ' blame? It will never be known who sprung tbe trap for the execution of Currant. Tbe spring to the drop waa operated by a'cord which led to an adjoining apartment, and there were two other cords which fed the same course but were not connected with tbe ma chinery. Three guards were stationed in the apartment, wbo at a signal from Lunt, the hangman, cut aimultaueously all three cord. This is designed, of course, to ease the conscience of tbe real executioner, and is borrowed from the army code of thedrum court-martial, when tbe prisoner is con demned to be shot Several guns are loaded. but only one with ball, and the member of tbe firing squad who wings the deadly mis sile is absolutely unknown. WHAT THE PA REM SAY. (Sherman County Ooserver.) A The Observer predicted last week the Jo. Simon republican refuse to harmon ize the republican of Multnomah county. All tbat the Mitchell republican, to called. asked lor was a return to the principles of majority rule. Now tbat the Simon faction reject these offers without giving good rea sons they will have to answer for it before tha state convention. They simply prove tbat they want to rule or ruin. Oregon ha bad quite enough of their rule or ruin and will take no more of it. (Roseburg f laindealer.) The Federation of Labor asks congress to "stop the indescriminate and dangerous use of the writ of injunction." Why? Has any harm ever befallen persdh of Corpora tion bee A use oi the enforcement of tbe writ? It has often called a bait on lawless mobs, and angry litigants, who otherwise would bave worked miscbieft before the ordinary machinery of the law could be brought to bear. It deprives no man of his rights. It object is to protect. He wbo expects to obey the law and do equity is not com plaining of tbe writ of injunction. (Hillsboro Indepr.ttilenL) ITRen has been endorsed by his partv in Clackamas county. It was not a unani mous vote, but the whitewash la more or less thick. It ia well. U'Ren is corrupt. He took money and paid some to others of bis party. His party endorses bim and partakes of his corruption. The party is not pure. Are those letters forgeries? Not a bit of it. U'Ren got the compromising let ters from Young and left them in an old secretary, vt lien be moved be did not take them. Mrs. Lewellmg found them and gave them out where they would do tbe most good. (Milton Eagle.) The senatorial contest in Ohio has re sulted in the election of Marcus A. Ilanna for tbe long and short term. The shout of exultation that went up from the free sil ver element all over tbe nation at what they supposed meant defeat for the man wbo managed President McKinley' campaign, and was therefore directly responsible for Willie Bryan's defeat, was shouted just a little too soon, and now these same fellows are kicking themselves because they didn't keep their mouths shut. Hanna has been vindicated in bis own state. Of course his enemies say it was money and not personal worth tbat secured his triumph, and that is probably true, as personal worth, except it be computed in dollars and cents, seldom enters in latter day politics. (The Dalles Chronicle, rep.) Tbe Simon men bave refused the offer of compromise made by the Mitchell republi cans, and all prospects of harmonious action in Multnomah county have vanished. The course taken by Simon, Mallory, et al., refusing to make peace in tbe party will come with little surprise. Unless tbey can control the whole machinery of the party and state, these self-constituted leaders are disgruntled and revengeful. In their sel fishness tbey leave room for no one else to aspire to prominence outside of their own favorites and henchmen. Tbe attack made by Rufus Mallory on Geo H. Williams in his letter published two days ago, will go far towards strengthening the cause of the Mitchell republicans. To charge Judge Williams with being unduly partial or prejudiced is to make allegations which the people at large will not believe true. Tbe very fact that tbe 8itnon men are unwilling that this venerable statesman should act as an arbiter of differences because they fear be might decide in favor of the Mitchell republicans' contentions, will be to many strong evidence that tbe claims of the Mitchell men are meritorious. The letter of Rump Mallory and the answer of the Simon committee will not find commenda tion In the minds of fair-minded people Calling people hard names ta not arguinont, and abuse does not win converts. W had hoped to see the trouble In Multnomah county satisfactorily adjusted, but the action of the Simon men makes this Impos sible. The fault lie a ilh the men who in their blind passion, would wreck the party rather than Senator Mitchell should be re-elected. (Hillsboro Independent.) II Ken worked there for money. There seems to be no doubt about that. Young was In the ring, too. The two people are the chief otticer of Hi populist party, chairman and secretary. And how many declamation we have heard about th cor ruption in the old parlies and the alilt purity of th populists. If any one can point to more corruption than 1 told of U'Ken In Mrs. Lewellliig'i affidavit, then name him. U Hen acknowledge to getting PO. What did be do with the remainder of that big roll of bills? ll must have ills tributed them to the other populist mem bers. Indeed he say he did, all taking of theswag except Ogle. Wherefore it appear that the whole patty Is corrupt, or rather th leader. Th honest electors have been deceived. They thought the protestations of purity and the abhorence of bribery were true and they voted for them only to Hml that they bad given their u1raKe to a gang of schemera tricksters, corruplionists, bribers and bribe-taker. (Pendleton ItepUbllcan.) Under ordinary circumstances Pendleton ran develop more candidates for oltlce and the hand of the dominant party than any other town of Ita six in the state. If tbt republican party of Eastern Oregon did not have o hiany good mett who were willing to (acriHce their personal Interests to serve tbe state, or the nation for that matter, we beMve it would be possible, by pulling together, to ecure the nomination of some good repub lican of thi section for an Important state office, next spring, and on at that whole in no way connected with tbe despicable Pendleton ring, or the Multnomah Kil kenny cat fight. But we need not look for anything more serious than a score or more candidates, each going It alone for this or tbat office, with the usual result. If the time ever come when the republican party of Eastern Oregon 1 united It can de mand and receive the recognition due an important section of country, and the rep resentatives of a parly giving evidence of their sanity and earnestness in asking for what they belelve to be justly due them. Will that lime ever come? Certainly not so long as the people of this section imagine there is something to be gained by "stand ing in" with Jo Simon and Multnetnah county instead of standing on their own bottom, as they will sooner or latter bave to do. TEK COURT SUSTAINED. Sahdv, Or., Jan. 13-(Tothe Kditor)-As there is some comment on tbe action of the county court in Ignoring two numerously igned petition of applicant for road supervisor io this road district and appoint ing J. H. Revenue, who was not an appli cant for tbe position, I htve been asked if some one I trying to get a "political pull" On bim. I answer, no I don't believe Any one has got a string on bim, or will bave. He is just so independent that he can never be used as a cat' paw to pull the political chestnuts, or any other kind, out of the tire for any one. Tbe facts are it was a common sense appointment, and many here know this fact, that he baa ever been in advocate of bettering the condition bt our public roads and In volunteering work to Improve them. And this Is what tiller rf the soil are interested In,- getting all tbfet can posai. bly done for improving the highways and there is many with rftyKerf who think there was no mistake made fn appointing J H Revenue supervisor of the Sandy road dis trict. Good Roads. A Comity's Resources. Tlie Dalles Times-Mountaineer has just issued a souvenir edition, in maga line form, of the resources o( Wanco a nil Sherman counties, which is illustrated, showing the business institutions of these two counties, together with the portraits of the leading business men rtf ' the sec tion represented. The resources of that part of Eastern Oregon are set forth in detail so that the reader may arrive at a correct -Impression of the country. The magazine is well written and the printing is a work of art. It is just the thing that should be done in Clackamas county as an inducement to borne seekers.

Bogel, the leading druggist of Shreveport, La., says "Dr. King's Dis covery is the only thing that cures my cough, , and it is. the best seller I bave." J. F. Campbell, merchant of Saffbrd. Ariz., writes: Dr. King b New Discovery Is all that is claimed for it; it never fails, and is a sure cure for Consumption. Coughs and Colds. I cannot say enough for its merits." Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is not an experiment. It has been tried for a quarter of a century, and to-day Btands at the head. It never disappoints, Free trial bottles at Charman & Co.'i Drug Store. Purse Found .
