Clow a compli mentary notice and refers to liis leg islati ve record. The Blade is always unfortunate in its efforts to assist friends, and we call attention to House Bill No. 77, a Bill " To an thorize the State of Oregon to ac quire possession of the Canal and Locks at Willamette falls by lease, and to purchase the same and make appropriation therefor." This Bill against the passage of which every county in the Willamette valley petitioned in 1876, Hon. R. Clow voted for, first, last and all the time; was he representing his constituents, or a few monopolists? The history of that Bill is too well known to re quire special explanation now. The Blade also refers to some measure tabled through bad management on the part of Mr. Bensell. Just give the details. Mr. Blade, let's have the page of the journal, etc., and when you again attempt, to mislead the people, we will endeavor to put you on the right track. Faik and Honest. The candor and fairness with whiih Hon. M. C. George treated all questions in his speech on Saturday in this city, re ceived the highest encomiums of the many Democrats present on the oc casion. And wo venture the asser tion that the handsome manner ' in which he referred to Gov. Whileaker has not a counterpart in the political history of the Slate. Ho said that so far as the charge of brilwry against Mr. WhitFaker was concerned, he knew nothing ; the charge was made by prominent Democrats; he (George) personally had no knowledge of any sueh transaction. Mr. George is win sing golden opinions by the consci entious fairness with which he is con ducting the canvass. We want just such honest, fair minded, conscien tious, able men-in our legislative halls as Hon. M. C. George and the more we bave of them the better for the peace, honor and tranquility of 0ui country. Albany Register. For State Printer. The RemA Kcan State Central Committee met at Portland last Thursday and nom inated Gen. W. H. Odel,', editor ol the Salem Statesman, for State Prin ter. The General. is well and favnra. bly known by the people of Oregon, and Jus nomination adds strength the ticket. to M Mr. Silas Howell, the Republican candidate for Assessor, is thoroughly qualified tofMliat, important position He is a good Judge of property val ues, and would impartially do his duty. The people ot Benton eetmty o not want an assessor who by fa voritism, will do his work in such a manner as to make the office a step ping stone to something higher. John Hughes, at the last session of the Legislature, refused to vote for Senator Slator. J. H. rise and explain his motive for so doing? The Senator has retaliated by doing all mhis power for Yaquina Bay, and this is why the people want " honest" John to explain. M. C. 8E0RQEAT SCHOOL. Ed. Gazette : Tbe sayings " jut u the twig ia bent the tree is inclined," and " the boy makes the man." are true sayings, with but few apparent exceptions, as all persons of experience will agree ; and as M. C George and I were schoolmates, I am sure that I know his real character as well, and perhaps better than any one could know by association, even very iutimate, after the years of maturity ; and particularly so, as our acquaintance was jnst at the end of boy hood and beginning of manhood, when any one will appear to hia greatest diaad vantage, and exhibit his bad qualities, if he has any. He was the acknowledged " head " and " loader " in the school, in our debating so cities, and in entertainment and exhibitions. He was very popular at school, for he was so broad in his view there was no opoortun ity for bitterness ; so sociable to all that none could dislike him ; so true to his friends, they never left him ; so lofty in his aspirations, we could think anything possi ble for him. His lessons were well learned, bis work done thoroughly, the demnnds of his schoolmates were met cheerfully, and not slighted. So far as I know he was strictly temperate and moral. In discussions he was always above tricks and misrepresentations. His way was to go straight for his object, openly, frankly, vigorously, without reserve, neither covering up the truth, nor allowing his op ponent to do so. He was a general favorite, and his entire circle of warm friends looked forward with tbe fullest confidence to the time when he would become, in the most public way, the champion of liberty and equal rights. I regret it that all the voters of Oregon are not acquinted with him ; for those unac quainted cannot fully know how worthy he is of their votes ; how entirely above local interest he will continually keep everything that he works for ; how earnestly he will la bor for the benefit of the entire state ; and how carefully he will redeem every pledge made to the people. Schoolmate. Toledo, Or., May 12, 1880. HON. R. aTb&BOL The above named gentleman, as our read ers know, has been nominated by the Re publicans as joint Senator from Polk and .Benton counties. From his general repu tation throughout tbe State and his services as a Legislator, we are justified in saying that no better nomination could have been made. Mr. Bensell is known as an active, energetic man, who has perhaps devoted more time and labor in furthering the inter ests of the people of Polk and Benton coun ties than any other man in the State. He is everywhere known for his energy and his public spirit. As a public servant he was always at his post of duty. As a matter of fact it may be well to note that while here in the discharge of his duties as Legislator for Benton county he voted upon every measure presented and never missed a roll call. This argues for him a conscientious desire to discharge his whole duty to his constituents and proves that he was never afraid to show his hand upon any question at issue. He has honesty and energy and and capacity, and with these nothing is lacking to make him an efficient Leg islator. His most strenuous efforts have been directed towards securing improve ments about Yaquina Bay, which if obtain ed would redound to the immense advan tage of not only Polk and Benton counties, but of the whole Willamette valley. His election is not a mere master of local impor tance. We are all interested in tbe improve ments named, and looking umou him as one who has been a special champion of this work and who in all his relations to the pub lic has ever been an active and efficient worker, we hope and expect to see him elected by a rousing majority. Salem Statesman, of 15th inst. Hon. E. B. Watson. Judge Watson gave us a pleasant call on Tuesday. He ap pears to have been pleased with his visit to Corvallis, -and especially with prosperous condition he found Corvallis Agricultural College in. During the forenoon he visited all the departments of tbe College heard recitations in mental arithmetic in the pri mary department and expressed great satis faction at the proficiency and readiness shown by the pupils. J udge Watson appears to be a man of middle age, was a graduate of Forest Grove College, and was admitted to practice law in 1869, by the Supreme Court of Oregon. Has since practiced law mainly iu Douglas, Coos, Jackson, Josephine and Lake counties. Has served one term as County Judge in Jackson county and one as County Clerk iu that county. He is greatly esteemed for his straight forward promptness and honesty, and the people of Jackson county have shown their appreciation of his worth by electing him without regard to party politics. As a candidate for the Su preme Court, he will poll a large vote in that part of the State, as well as throughout the State. PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR.

W. W. THAYER, Governor of Oregon. By the Governor : R. P. Earhakt, Sec'y of State. The silly twaddle ia last week's Blade in reference to Mr. Bensell will help him iu this county. The people of Benton county are two intelligent to be misled by the street-walking style of journalism. NEAR PHILOMATH. Editor Gazkttk: Living right in the heart of one of the greatest and licet agricultural districts, I think a talk to those who have no inruiy faults to find with all and every tiling that is coumctdl with farming, will and space iu your column. So many of our city people cull farming a low, slavish HIV. So far as that is concerned, any business, el sely followed, is slavish enough. Others say, il is not genteel. In deed 1 Washington was a farmer, and yet everybody looked upon him as being nothing vlselhan a gentle man. Nobody !s forced to associate with the low, coarse and unrefined, no more in the country than in cities. The idea of farming not being gen teel ! Farmers are at the very top, the cream of society. Another fault of theirs is, that there are too many farmers already. If so, it would seem that there are too many build ers, carpenters, mechanics, clerks, etc., as well, for all these people are complaining that their business is as bad or even worse than he farmers declare theirs to be. It can hardly be the case that there are too many people in the United States already, il don't seem so when we look at the population of Europe. Germany, for instance, not much larger than Cali Ibrnia contains as many inhabitants as the whole United Slates. In one respect these fault finders may have right, that is that farming was not paying well in every case. But then, there never was a more mistak en notion entertained by mortal men, than that farming can be carried on profitably and successfully with no knowledge on the farmers' part be yond the routine of ordinary meth ods in its various departments. Knowledge is the great want of some ol our farmers; and some knowledge is the key to unlock the wealth that resides in the soil. Many of our farmers would do better by reading Horace Greeley's " What I know about farming" instead of making fun of it. The farmers' life is the most health ful, and machinery is being constant ly invented to lighten his labor. Who ever heard of a hie power or a steam engine grinding out a speech from the bar or an editorial from an editor's desk.? But the main reason why a farmer's life should be more desirable than other callings, they are continually in company with the sublime works of Nature. There is nothing but what teaches us their lessons of usefulness; no humble; there is something of beauty either iu form or color. While the tired merchant's income stops with his day's work, and the professional man labors mentally night and day to gain a livelihood, the farmer can go to bed and sleep sweetly in the consciousness that his business is still goin ong while he sleeps his crops grow in the night as well as in the day. And last, but not at least, farmers ought not forget, that all the rest of mankind depend upon him for subsistence. Liberal. Near Philomath, May 1, 1880. The Democracy is troubled this year with a sparmodic dash of hon esty, as is evidenced by the catch penny sobriquet prefixed to the names of its candidates. " Honest John Whiteaker, " honest" John Burnett, " honest" Jim Kelly, " hon est" Poor Pliant Primm, and since Mr. Hughes voted against Senator Slator, we presume he will hence forth be called "honest" John Hughes. Was Not Idle. Eight or nine of the thirty seven general laws which were passed at the last session of the Oregon Legislature, were introduced or dratjed by Hon. M. C. George. This shows thai he was not idling a - - - I a away ins time, nui was at work in the interest of I he tax-payers who sent him there. What did Whitest ker do to benefit tax payers while in the .Legislature r Albany Jiegister. The people must not forget that Jas. A. Yantis, a lawyer of Corvallis, is the Republican nominee for Prose- outing Attorney ot the 2d Judi cial District, and that James Ha mi I ton, a juvenile son of Dr. Hamilton, of Rosehnrg, is the Democratic nom inee. We think young Hamilton will get the opportunity, after the 7h or June, ot going back to Ins old occupation, that of compounding drugs. Junction Mepubhcan. MEDICAL Flit. Dr. Shrader, editor of the Medical Record, says with truth i "There is no doubting the fact that the longer bills me allowed to t un, the larger they are apt to become niid the more unwillingly are they paid, it is a bad fashion which saltutloiis the pres ent aetlon of accounts not oftener than every six months, The well-to-do pi adit loner does so, and his im pecunious brother Is compelled to do likewise. Some how or other it is considered undignified fi the physi cian to be in any seeming hurry to present his account. It must rouse quently be more genteel for him to owe his butcher and baker, than ask money of those who owe him There is a false modesty in this that is ridi culous to the business man. The only one who suffers by it, in the long run, is the Doctor himself. No man who has been in practice need be told that money should never be re fused, when it is offered, and yet he is, by the half-yearly and yearly sys tem of sending out bills, practically encouraging the patient in becoming a delinquent debtor. The best time to present the bill is when the services aie terminated, and if the patient is unable to pay at that time, it is bet ter that he should think the delay is due to his carelessness rather than to the want of ordinary business tact in his medical attendant." We wish to call the attention of the public to the above extract from the American Practitioner, as one containing a great many good prac tical ideas, in which both the medical profession and the public are inter ested. When a farmer sells a load of wood, or hay or anything else, if a business man, he tells the purchaser what it is worth, and the buyer, if he do not pay him immediately, knows just how much he is owing the tann er. With the names changed the same statement can- be applied to men in any other business. Why not allow the Physician the same business privileges granted to others? In con sideration of this fact we, the under signed practitioners, have concluded to present a statement of the amount due us for our services, in any given case, immediately upon the expira tion of such services. We know lhat our patrons will appreciate the justice of this, and not consider our "statements" in the ordinary sense of " duns." If able to pay them at the lime, very well, if not, you will know how much your bill is when you come to settle. Respectfully. J. B. Lke, ftl. I). J. R. Bayley, M. D. G. R. Fa era, M. D. F.

The Telegram of the 15th inst., says that on Wednesday night, of last week, a man, name unknown, tried to commit suicide by jumping from the Stark street ferry, iu Portland, but was prevented from so doing by Tom Harris, the night ferryman. Arrangements have been made with the railroad comiiames, whereby excursionists from the interior to the grand excursion to Victoria will be able to go to .Portland and return for one fare.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE- Gentlemen of the Common Council of the city of Corvallis -. In pursuance of the re quirements of our city charter, I herewith submit to you a retort of the financial cou dition of the city ; and make such sugges tions, as hi my judgment is for the best in terest of the city.

(For particular 1 refe yon to the Reports ot the Kecorder, Marshal and treasurer.! As governments in cities are instituted to promote health and prosperity and to pro tect property, this end. 1 would recommend to have the alleys well cleaned and gravel ed wherever it is necessary to have the streets graved and otherwise unproved ; and in all cases such impro vements of streets and alleys should be done at the expense of the owners of adjacent property, and should also lie done at the proper season, and to provide for such drainage, as the means of the city will permit. The Fire Department should be kept in its full etficieucy. Our cisterns should be kept in good repair and provide for new ones, as the nuance ot the city permits. 1 would further recommend to take steps, to have our charter amended by the next legis latum so that we may collect our road tax within our city limits. The side-walks as well as tho crossings will i ciiu i m your special attention. In conclusion, permit me to say to the old Council, that I thank you for your courtesy and assistance that you have shown me while I was presiding over your deliberation To the new Council, 1 will say. nay yon be ecpial to the trust reposed in you by your constituents ; may athe all wise Providence guide you to promote neaiin, weaitn ana prosperity, in this our our rising city.

R. company are constructing a depot and car sh'-aps on the grounds donated by the Avery estate, fbr that purpose. PLATFORM. Resolved, By the republicans of Oregon in con vention assembled in the city ot Portland, this 21st ? , April, A. D. , 1880, that we propose to maintain and administer the affairs ol government of this state by strict economy and faithful adherence to the con stitution and laws thereof and of the United States. 2. That we are m favor of regulating and equalU ing the salaries of county and state officers so that they shall receive such compensations as are usually pud to private persons under like circumstances of service and responsibility. 5. That we favor a thorough revision and equaliza tion of our system of taxation, to the end that every species of property within Its limits, whether owned or possessed by citizens of this or of foreign stateb. shall bear its equal proportion of the burdens of the government which protects it. 4. That we propose to maintain and enforce the amendments to the constitution of the United States, with all the powers of the national government, to the end that every citizen, poor or rich, black or white may be secured in the full enjoyment of civil and po litical rights. 6. That the overthrow of the rights of the elective franchise of liberty and life, by which means free gov ernment in a portion of the states has been defeated, and the manifested fraud and threatened violence in others, together with attempted nullification of the laws of the general government and decisions of the supreme court thereon, by congressional action in the interests of the democratic party, are attempted rev olutionand must be met as such. Applause. 6. That this is a nation formed by the people there of and not a mere league or compact and that we reaf firm the idea of the unity of the nation the suprema cy of the national government in all matters placed by the constitution under its control the preservation intact of all the rights of municipal self-government otherwise guaranteed thereby to the people or to the states respectively. At the same time we arraign the doctrine of stale sovereignty as the baleful mother of nullification, secession and anarchv. Applause. 7. That the recent action of the democratic party in state convention assembled, in denouncing the su premecourtof the United States of America and im puting the most unworthy and unpatriotic motives to that high and honorable court, is unwort hy of law abiding, intelligent and patriotic American citizens, applause and directly tends to the loosening of the foundation of our government, the subversion of all law and the overthrow of the sanctity of a system of judicature, venerable with age and perfected by wis dom, f Applause. 8. That the attempt by the leaders of the demo cratic partv to defraud th5 people of the state out of an electoral vote, was an outrage unparalleled in the political history of the state, which together with the Maine infamy and the attempt to unseat members in the halls of congress for base partisan advantage, de serves the condemnation of all fair minded men. Iremendous applause. 9. That we condemn the outrageous conduct of our democratic state admini trations from 1870 to 1878, their extravigance, their corruption and their pecula tions. 10. We deprecate the course of members of the democratic party who have undertaken to revive sec tional animosity for the purpose of securing political ascendancy in the southern states and who have reviv ed memories of sectional strife by the defiant declara tion of a purpose to repeal laws made necessarv by the war and enacted to secure the results of the "war ; and we condemn their attempts to secure by legisla tion what was not accomplished by arms, namely, the establishment u;.der the name of state sovereignty of those pernicious doctrines which destroy national su premacy and which in part have led to secession and civil war. Applause J 11. That to the republican partv is due the credit of successful resumption and restored prosperity and business revival, and we insist that the paper and coin circulation of the country shall at all times he main tained at par with the gold standard of the commercial worm. 1 Applause I 12. That while we are in favor of a revenue for the support of the general government bj- duties upon imports, sound policy requires such adjustment of im port duties as to encourage the development of the in dustrial interests of the whole country, and we com mend that policy of national exchange whkjh secures to the working man liberal wages, to agricifmire remu nerative prices, to mechanics and manufacturers an adequate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the nation commercial prosperity and inde pendence. 13. That wc are in favor of judicionsappropriations by the general government for the improvement of our rivers and seaports, as well as for the construction of such fines of railway communication as will develop the resources of the country ana connect our state with other parts of the union, under such restrictions as will amply protect the rightsof the people from un just discrimination and extortionate charges ;andthat in tlie grants of lands to railroads wc favor the sale of the same by the government to the people at the lowest price for public lands, giving the proceeds only to the corporations. Tt 14. That we demand of our representation in con gress their best endeavors to secure just and judicious appropriations and favorable lep-islation by the general government for the free navigation of the Columbia and the rivers of the state, the improvement of the mouth of the Columbia and the harlwrs at Yaquina and Coos Bays, the location of a harl-or of refuge at the point along our coast most available to thcinterests of commerce, the extension of the public surveys to meet the wants of our increasing population and aid and assistance to railroaus, and the opening up for set tlement sucn oi ourinuian reserv won as cue inter est of civilization demands and necessitates. 15. That we demand a modification of the treaty with China so as to restrict Chinese immigration to America. Applause. 16. That we hold that a w ell instructed people alone can be perfectly free, and that it is therefore es sential that the public schools should lie maintained so that even' child shall be instructed in the duties of citizenship and the ordinarv business vocations of life. Caston Millions of Mothers express their delight over Castoria. It is nature's remedy for assimilating the food. Unlike Castor Oil, it is pleasant to take, and unlike Morphine Srrups, it is harmless.
