THTJBS3DAY The War With Spain. Editok Democrat : It lias been constantly asserted, that the democrats forced McKinley into a war with Spain, before we were ready and then would not support a bill to raise revenue for the support and main tainance of the same. Now let us inves tigate and see what the facts are : On the 24th of March Senator Thurs ton, an administration republican, naid: "The time for action has comu, aud has come now ; every hours delay only adds another chapter to the awful story of misery and death," ami bear this dis tinguished senator from Nebraska furth er: ,-Mr. President, against tho inter vention of the U. S. in this holv cause, there is but one voice of dissent. That voice is the voice of the money chang ers." Mr. T. also said: "1 do not ac cent my patriotism from Wall t." , War was finally secured by all kinds ; of prodding along. And now the demo crats are accused of having denied the administration money for the support and maintainance ot the war. Vow - hat are the facts. In May, according; to the Secretary of the Treasury, we bad an available cash balance 220000,0U0. The republicans said we must have f 000,000,- wi in doimis ana certificates: we must have foOO.000 in war revenue each tlav hat would that make? The war tax is now bringing in over $500,000 uer dav. or in rouua ngures flia.UUU.UUO a year pi ua saj.uuu.uuu wnich would make in round numbers $400,000,000 and add the ouu,wj,wu ot proposed bonds and we would have $1,000,000,000. Against that proposition was almost a solid democratic vote, and today there is a solid demo cratic party, aud in my bumble opinion .ney are wining to meet tneir opponents in high and honorable debate, aud leave it to the intelligent American people as to whether they were rutht or wrong. According to republican tin urea, thete was no necessity for issuing a dollar ot bonds. So fur the war has cost S150.- 000,000. More than that amount will be raised in less than a year, under the war revenue bill alone, in the face of these facts, I challenge any man in America to show a just cause for the issuing of bonds by the last session of contrives. Not only did the democrats vote against bonds, but they voted in favor of an in come tax. But from the republican side of the bouse, came about 200 woes and the income tax was defeated; and upon that proposition the democratic party is willing to leave it to their fellow country men, as to who was rinht or wrone. Time baa thoroughly vindicated that the position of the democratic party on the war was eminently correct. me democrats said yea to income tax and no to bonds. The republicans said no to income tax and vea to bonds. Voters which do voo prefer? $300,000,000 of hon.la vera finally anlil to ran lor ten years at 3 per cent, "inter est alone will amount to $30,000,000 or about one half toe cost of the war. Here we have $2b0,OOO,OOO of indebtedness that will have to be paid by the producer of wealth of this country, when there was no occasion for it. If the county court of this county was to create a debt to te paid by its people without an occasion would not the peoole be indiznant. and justly too? M. A. Mille. Lebanon, ov. 2, '93. Oafcvllle. Mr. Kurtx, of Salem, is visiting with H. M. Stone. , St. John and Wade are busy drying apples, tbey dry from 40 to 69 boxes every day , Judge Barton's dog (Coxey) didn't go to Albany, but true to his name he nays with the common people. Me don t like talented men and will not be interviewed by a reporter. We admire him at a dis tance. We visited our friend Mills' at his borne in Tangent last week. Mr. M. has a nice residence and on his lot be has nice variety of fruit. At present his grapes are at their best and tliev are good for we took a sample of them. Mr. Mills is an invalid and has been in Cal ifornia for her health which lias been improved some, but she likes Oregon better than any place she has been. The ancient custom of tearing down iens carrying away gates and other acts, more or less criminal, on the night of Oct. 31st has been laid) aside by the young people of this city and instead they go in hacks from bouse to bouse and serenade the people. The Chicago letter in the Democrat Iasttweek was all right and we admire the style and safely say that there was no immitation ot eitber ol the learned men whom be mentioned, his style is that of a banker or insurance agent. Which is it M.7 Mr. . O. MiUer, of Portland, made ns a pleasant rail last week. Mr. M. trav els by wheel and bis expences are light. Mr. Warren Koberts, ot langent, was in ou town last week, lie visited w ith A. Y. Smith at the store. Some hobos done this part of the coun- ty last week with eye glasses and watches. They claimed that the goods were found by them, but "tbey were right new and bright." We think tbey had sent east for their goods and were ashamed to tell it. The goods were of a very cheap variety. "Don't buy goods ot such fel!os if they do sell cheap for their wares are dear at last." W e mean the goods (not the hoboes) were "right new and bright." Lirn.1 Rohb Ben. Lebanon. From tho Criterion.

A Corvau.1i Kick. Foor Corvailts men hired a livery rig and went to Al bany last week for the purchase of out fits of clothing. So far as can be learned no inquiry was made by them as to the prices and stocks in Corvallis clothing establishments. It is doubtful if there are in Oregon culaide of Portland, cloth- ine stores that carr more varied and complete stocks and offer goods at as low prices as do those in Corvallis, a fact that makes queer the art of those Cor- vauisites who went to Albany to buy.

The sentence of Harry Barr for the hooting at I'eter Riley on October 28, just misting his head, attracted a good deal of attention. Tbe district attorney, upon request, made a statement of the case, the defendant having ptead guilty, and Judge Burnett then passed sentence, prefacing it with route very solid advice to the prisoner that caused many damp ened eyes in the court ro-uj. He said substantially: "1 would call the attention of Ihe de fendant to the man who has Jjst left the court loom, sentenced to be hanged for givintr up to his pssaiont. Tbe defend ant my well call a halt, for it is by tbe merest chance that he Is not on tbe tame road.

A goal lecture is a very important thing in a community and is worthy of notice. None better has ever teeo de livered in Albany than the one delivered last eight by Dr. A. I). Beardsley of Kentucky, on the subject at the bead ot tbit article. Though before 'tudenta .n the col'ee chapel, only a few students were preeent, thus missing not only a treat but something that would haye dooe them good the rest of their lives. The lecture it full of ceaia with suffi cient spice for keeping the audience in good humor. No one could bear it with out being better and wiser.

Bartley, Sg cents per paund; Kirkpatrick & Coney, 3c; D. W. Uardin,:3'c; J.Ssewart, 2Vc. The urm claimed that some of t he pruur s were cot dried hard enough, but we think the real reason tbey refused to pay the prices agreed upon is, there was a drop in tbe market about the time the prunes were shipped. Mr. Bartley re ceived the top price because his prunes reached Portlaud before the maiket fell. E. A. Arrangements have been made for a iwmanetit rector for the Episcopal church in this city.
