Ev jrj body tarn out and hear thim. Dr J F Henry, F C Hansard and C Shedd, are all suitable and fit persons to represent the people ot Linn county I the legislature. The democrats should see that they all get a full vote. William Rumbaugh la a man of soun judgment and will make a good county commissioner. Democrats should bear in mind that if Mr Rumbaugh be defeated the republicans will then have a majority of ' tl:e county court. "Uncli Billy" Curl served one term as county treasurer and gave good satisfaction to the people. He Is a safe, careful man, and, although he is a cripple, we feel con fident that he will run fast enough to beat Sis opponent easily. The people of Linn county want men of experience in the legislature. Mr Weather ford and Mr Myers have both served in that body before, and hence when they go to the senate, will be prepared to enter at once, in telligently, upon their labors. The Republican managers in Alabama have decided to not ran a state ticket this year but to have Congresssioaal candidate im every district, trusting to the precedents of the pres sent Congress and Speaker Reedisms to count fhern in. Prof G F Russell is one of the most success ful teachers in the county. He La lived in the state nearly all bis life while bis opponent Mr Michcner has Leen here but about one one year. Mr Michener is almost entirely un known to the people. Mr Rassel will be the next county school superintendent by a large majonty: Every day brings cheering new of democratic prospect throughout the state. The disaffection over the nomination of Dave Thompson that showed itself to plainly in Portland is rapidly spreading to all parts of the state. We hare no Imita tion in making the prediction that gover nor Pennoyer will run materially ahead of his ticket In every county In the tte. The whole country without regard to party has met a severe los in the untlme ly death of Senator Beck, of Kentucky who died Saturday of paralysis of the heart. He was a man of great ability and un swerving integrity and commanded the confidence of republican as well as demo crats senators. It will be hard to fill his place. Car'isle msv be called up higher. Republican papers are excoriating Har vey Scott fjr saying that 'nlie republican partv Is on the high road to the devil." "J01 don" is a hard road Harvey to travel When he tells the truth, as he djes, sometimes, when .it of candor lakes possession of him hi own party papers flagellate him uniil he is sore, and when he varies from the line of truth and fact, a he frequent ly does, then the democratic paper baste him unmercclfully, so In sheering clear of Scyila he Is cast helpless on ChsrybdU. WH AT POM IT TJIlSKf The Eugene Registrx very approvingly pniadi's the following plank of th repub lican platform to show that its party Is opposed t the issue of non-taxable bauds: I'tvit e are In favor it a lair and equal dUt-',1.1'tii.n of taxation, and we believe, that i-.'l property tioiv exempt by U shoir i r .inribute i'. due proportion of the legtuK.uiv expense of gnvei mtier;t." Nuw tins resolution does not cover the matter of bonds at all for it only extends to property how exempt and not to bond, to bn I isurd hereafter.- This is one of the tricks of Hie cunning scribi who drew that pi.it f.ir'ii. It was draw.i to catch the un wary Hul the Ilr.trister walked straight into the trap. By the way has the Rtgtsfr duly conOdtfred the Import of this plank in the republican platform? It pledges the party to lax all property now exempt by law. Under the present law personal property of all literary, benevolent, scientific insti tutions, and the real estate occupied by such institutions for the pnrpose of carry ing out the objects for which they were incorporated; all houses of public worship, and the lots on whi:h they are situated, and the pews and sKps lu such churches burial grounds and tombs, and public li braries are exempt from taxation, bnt un dcr the reto'ution above quoted the repub lican party declares in favor ol taxing this property. That party is therefore.pledged t ) tax all the property of the churches, OiU Fellows, Masons, Anclen. Order of l uili-ci workmen.

Governor Pennoyer would as courageously and conscientieusly veto it. A bill will again be introduced and the ques m m lion of its becoming a law will likely depend upon who will be elected governor. A niUHT SOW J t' U MEN'T. Some time ago Mr Kiarr, editor ot the Ashland AWtf, becoming tired ct what appeared to him as corrupt practices in the courts of the First Ulstrtct, procceue to publish a criticism of Judge Webster ha wears the-iudtcUl ermine on the bench of that district, whereupon the irate Judjre had the recalcitrant editor dragged before him and fined him f 50 and im prisoned him in the county jail fur 15 days all for -contempt ol court."

Washington, April, as, iJ.oxv The Injustice and absurdity of the Mc- Klnley tariff bill excited such general dissatisfaction that the republicans are obliged to abandon It, It Is conceded that the bill can never become a law, but the republican majority In the House lias so thoroughly commlttced itself that the bill Is expected lo pass the House by a strict party voU. In the meantime the republicans ot Urn Senate Finance com mittee are at work on another bill as a substitute for the McKlnley bill. They Cxpcct to report It to the senate very soon after the McKlnley Hill passes the House. Tills shows the Impolanco of Mr Mc Klnley's specious oratory, that captivates a careless crowd, to convince the business Interests ot the country of the propriety of a single idea he entertains on the subject of tariff, The republican joint caucus committee ot the House and senate have agreed upon the basis for the preparation of a silver bill. It directs the secretary ot the treasury to purchase 4,00,000 ounces of free silver per month at the market price, not to ex ceed Si for 371,35 grain ot pure sitver,nnd Issue treasury notes in payment of the bullion. These notes shall be payable on demand in lawful money ot the Unit States, and are receivable tor all public dues. No greater or less amount t.f such notes shall be outstanding at anytime than the cost ot the silver bullion then held In the treasury, purchased by sYch notes. Upon demand of the holder of any such treasury note, the secretary ot the tress ury mar, at hi discretion, pay off such notes with sliver bullion at its market price.
