W. B. CAKTI-.K,
THE CONTEST.
Last Monday wns the culmination
of the political campaign in Oregon.
In Benton county, lln-re were three
full tickets in the field, and the can
didates and their friends have used
all honorable means, and in some
cases, we tear, resorted to questiona
ble methods to secure the election of
themselves or their trienus. J lie
contest has been a severe one, th
Republican hii1 Democratic parties
being nearly equally divided ami
each hoping to achieve a complete
victory, have done all that politicians
could do to secure that end. In an
other column will be found the result,
of which it is not our purnoae to
speak in this place.
We were ourself a candidate for
an important otiice, ami lake this op
portuuity to return to our many
friends, who made our election their
own interest, and supported us will
their votes and influence, our most
sincere thanks and gratitude; we will
not soon forget them.
We have endeavored to conduct
the Gazette in a manner that
would secure the endorsement of our
political principles at the polls, and
at the same time to avoid everything
of a personal nature, and oppose the
principles ot our opponents without
wounding the feelings of any one,
as nearly every one ot our politica
enemies we were glad to ackuowl
edge as personal friends, and if, at
any time, in our zeal tor the cause
we advocate, we have either ourselves
or through correspondents, suffered
anything to appear in our columns
that has hurl the feelings of any one
we regret it, and in our cooler mo
ments would gladly recall the wicked
words, and say to all whom circum
stances, or the conviction ot right
has compelled us to oppose,
have done what we could, but
have done it in the spirit of kindness.
THE NEXT PRESIDENT-
Tuesday afternoon, on the 36th
Uallot, the Republican National Con
vention nominated Hon. James Gar
field, of Ohio, tor President of the
United Slates. To many, perhaps,
this choice was unexpected, but to
no one was it unwelcome. Of course
the people of Oregon wanted Blaine,
but are satisfied with Garfield.
In many respects this nomination
is a strong one. Gen. Garfield has
always been a favorite with a large
portion of the American people. Is
not radical in his political views and
has never been strongly identified
with either the Blaine or Grant t'ae
tiou of the Republican pirty during
the recent struggle tor the nomina
tion.
It is almost like giving up an oWl
friend, 10 abandon the idea of Blaine
being our next President. Yet Gi
field will be just as eiuhusiaciically
supported by every Republican, lor
he is just as able a man, and lully as
much entitled to their suppoit. The
only percent in favor of Blaine be
ing the faet, that he has, lor so long
a time, been before the people as an
aspirant for the position. That Mr.
Garfield is a statesman of the highest
ability no one will for a mom, m
question. As an w as or he has few
equals, and no superiors, in America
at the present time, and he will be
elected, in November, by a large
popular majority. Hurrah for Garfield!
The appropriation for the im
provement of Yaquiua Bay has pass
od both Houses of Congress, and is
awaiting the signature ot the Presi
dent. This appropriation has been
watched by our citizens with the
greatest anxiety, for a long lime.
We reserve further comments for
the future.

The Republican nominee for Tice
President of the United States, Hon.
Chester A. Arthur, of New York is
a man, in all respects, worthy of the
second position on the ticket, and if
anything could add strength to Gar
field, it would be the nomination of
Mr. Arthur,, who is at present prac
ticiug law in the city of New York,

the presiding officer of the United
Slates Senate.

SUP-SHOD INDUSTRIAL AXIOMS.
The political economy that is ome-
limes developed in the newspapers
not a ffood article of its kind.
When imports begin largely to in
crease the explanation presented al-
wav is that our people have, in con
sequence of some revival in industry,
entered on a career of extravagance
and waste. There is usually not
much time tor the newspaper econo
mist to work out bis problems with
the thoroughness which an obscure
subject demands. When imports
suddenly swell the obvions inference
is that we are consuming more ioreign
.roods, which, by the way, are mostly
luxuries, than formerly. I3ut the
generalization gives a character to
our neoiile which does not belong to
i hem. It assisrns them a place not
much more advanced than that of
children whose pockets burn until
i hey get rid of whatever loose change
.hev may have in them. It anybody
had ever come across a large class of
the kind stated there might be soim
reason for regarding frivolity as a
national irait. Individuals, no doubt,
can here and there be found whom
momeiHarv prosper! v may drive inti
extent ional expenditures, but they
are not numerous enough to make so
large an impression on the currents

the most part speculators who spend

clearlvit is that of carefulness and
thrift. Many giasp for more than
they can retain, and in this way come
to irrief. But thoughtless extrava
gance is something that is entirely
ihtM national mind. There
is more self poise and breadth of idea
than the industrial axiom which we
are considering allows. But for all
that it has become almost venerable
by the frequency of its application
Tr ! rpcrnlarlv triven ai airine when

the volume of imports begins tvi in
crease, no matter what may be th
real cause. No one seem to olj.-ei
to the people neing relegated to the
position of infants who have no
thought for the morrow. No one
has ever thought of resenting the
idiocy which, by implication, is
s ught to be stamped on the national
character.
Additions to the imports are ordin
arilv referable to economic facts of a
different order. It is not disputed
that more foreign luxuries may In-
consumed in times of business activi
ty than when stagnation prevails
But imports usually expand when we
are selling Innids of various kinds to
Europe, and when the conditions of
exchange and freight are favorable.
Further, we are more subject to
" booms" than any other civilized
nation. These " booms" are usually
of the same nature. They are trace
able to some manipulation of the
currency which is but imperfectly
understood. They were almost drunk
with prosperity on the other side of
the mountains at the very time when
the life blood of industry was flow
ing out as a consequence ot the d
pieciation of the currency. The
"booms" is rather an evidence of the
speculative spirit in commerce than
of the childish exiravagance of the
people. There is a rush to get in on
the "boom" at low figures, whieh, of
course, stimulates imports largely.
Hie people require a certain
amount of foreign an ielex during the
vear. On a rising market there is
always a temptation to lay these ar
tides up in larger quantities than are
needed for immediate consumption,
If the rise keeps on il will be likely
Co more than pav the cost of storage
and interest. The people with some
extra cash in their pockets and crazy
to let it fly are not factors at all in
the problem. If any one should
come across a genuine specimen of
this alleged variety, it would pay to
exhibit him. It is commercial spec
ulation with which we have to deal,
and not a nation of silly spendthrifts.
Of course if the " boom" is short
and it certainly cannot be prolonged
beyond the canse which produced it,
it there is no tampering with the
measures, many fingers are sure to
get burned. The "boom" ot the
present year was traceable to the
increased demand tor breadstuff
from Europe in consequence of crop
failures there. No doubt it had
moral effl cts far beyond the material.
It put heart again into the people

sumption was causing all around.
But lor all that it could have no such

TAKINQJANDS.
A Bill to Aid Settlers to Choke off
Jumpers and Speculators.
Washington, March 10. The bill passed
by th- senate yesterday for the relief of
homestead settlers is a measure of great im
portance to a very large number of settlers
on the Pacific Coast. It was originally in
troduced by Booth, and his persistent efforts
procured its passage, both in the public land
committee and in the senate. Under the
existing law the right ot pre-emption on
public land attaches from the date of settle
ment, but the rijht of a settler under the
the homestead law only from the date of
the entry. This bill provides that the land
shall be given to the first settler, whether
he claims it as pre-emptor or as a home
8teader. Senator Booth said on this point
"There is no reason why the right of
homestead settlers should not relate back bv
his alleging the date of his settlement in his
homestead amdavit, and the fact that t set
tier now, lie fore the survey, has no oution
but must claim under the pre-emction law
in order to cut under intervening settlers or
grants. Many settlers nave already used
tneir pre-emption right, and are now, at
though in possession of valuable improve
ments, entirely at the mercy of intervening
pre-emptors, or railroad grants.
The bill next provides that the first set
tler upon an abandoned homestead entry
snau nave a preference right to acquire
title to it after the original entry is cancell
ed, and the last section substitutes for the
present roundabout and dilatory method of
canceling reunqueshed homesteads and tun
ber culture entries in the general land office,
the common sense provision that such re
liuquishments shall be effectual as soon as
they are hied m the local land office. Booth,
in explaining this section, said :
" The relinquishments are nearly always
made as the result of purchase of the im
provements (j some person who is looking
for a homestead, and if the cancelation were
immediately noted, he bv reason of his be
ing a party in the matter, would be able to
enter before any one else; hut as long as
cancellation in such cases are made as at
present, he has no advantage by reason of
such purpose, for in the interval it becomes
widely Known in the neighborhood and at
the land office that the claim to that tract
has been relinquished, and all the jumpers
ami speculators of both localities are imme
diately on the alert to ascertain in advance
of every one else the manner of the cancel
lation. This desire is no small source of
corruption in the local land offices, and re
porting cancellations hy telegraph which

Prot,ificnkb8 op thk Oyster.
Dr. Brooks of Johnsons Hopkins Uni

ments last summer in a Maryland
oyster town, and proved to his own

not breed their young within thi
shell and that their eggs can be ter

as those of the fish. The eggs of tin

million eggs, while some of the larger
ones contain as niauv as fifty million

the egg is to chop the male and fe
male oy-'ers up together and thus
the fluids are mixed and the impreg
nation made complete. Immediately
the process of development begins
nd goes on so rapidly that a change
can be noted every 15 seconds. In a
very few hours the embryo is suffi
ciently formed to swim in the water.
The shells at first are very small and
are not adjacent to each other. They
grow very rapidly, closing down over
the sides, and finally nnite and form
the hinge. In the short time of 24
hours the young oyster is able to

that the reason why oysters were not

were heavy with coin his face was
pinched and the lines hardly drawn
into a pitiable expression of want
it was the face of a miser. We look I
ed at the man's heart, and it was a
bloodless, shapeless thing, hardened
and crystalized by contact with tin
dollars that he had hugged to it, it
had no pulse that beat a ith a single
throb of human sympathy ; it was
something that the love of wife could
never penetrate, a thing that the af
fection ot childhood can never quick
en into kindly emotion. We venture
to say that this man never contribut

edifice or a public charity, or gave a
penny to a public school except upon
compulsion. He will die alone, un

Ayer's
Hair Vigor,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a most agreeable dressing, which
fs at once harmless and effectual, for pre
serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It checks falling
of the hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in all eases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts vitality
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures and
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of the
humors and diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of the scalp and
hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair,
The Vigor is incomparable. It is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will
not soil white cambric. It imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed in its excellence.
