WATCH THE RECORD.
The Blade lias deemed it proper
to give Hon. Robt. 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

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.

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

the interest of I he tax-payers who

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.

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.
Our total income dnring the fiscal year,
just ending, was 93718 16'
Total expenditures 3014 43
Leaving 703 73
Which was applied to our outstanding
debt i bis reduced the mdbtedness ot the
city to SI 112 37.
(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

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.
