Notices of election shall be posted within thirty days after January term of court. In case judges of election are absent, voters may choose judges. If clerks appointed are not present, the judges select clerks. Polls will open at 8 a. m. and close at C p. m., though judges may adjourn at 1 o'clock for one hour. It is tl.e duty of judges and clerks to chal lenge suspected illegal voters. The place where a married man's family reside, and the place where a single man sleeps shall be con sidered his residence. In incorporated cities no one is allowed to loiter within fifty feet of the polls, except peace officers and challengers, and only ten persons may approach to vote at one time. Judges of election have power of justice of the peace and may inflict a fine of $50 or impris onment for twenty-five days, for any violation of election law, or disorder at the polls. They may appoint special constable in ab sence of regularly appointed peace officers. Within an hour after polls close counting must begin. Only white ballots, furnished by law, shall be counted. Certificates of nomination, signed by chairman and secretary of con vention, are necessary, and for state officers, must be filed with the secretary of state not les3 than forty-five days before election, and for district, county and pre cinct officers, certificates must be filed with the county clerk at least thirty days before election. Can didates must file acceptance of nomination for state offices thirty days before election, and for coun ty nominations fifteen days before election, if at all, in writing, with county clerk. The county clerk shall cause ballots to be printed, as prescribed by law, entitled "Official Ballot," and no others shall be used, circu lated or cast. There shall be four ballot3 printed for every vote cast at the proceeding election, on white paper, and a like number of ballots on colored paper, for sam ples, and not to be voted or count ed it vote!. When a vacancy occurs, by death or withdrawal, after tickets are printed, notices shall be posted at polling places, and in all cases blank lines are left on ballots so voters can vote for whom they please, whether or not the nominee of any party. Not less then five days before election the sheriff shall deliver ballots to election precincts, pre pare election booths and appoint deputies to take charge of the election in each precinct. The booths where voters can make out their tickets in secrecy shall be prepared, though in a position - that judges may see that only one man is allowed in a booth at one lime. Those who cannot read or write can have the assistance of two of tha judges. The names on the tickets not voted for must be scratched out with an indelible pencil which is left on the table in the booth, and the tickets so fold ed that the judges cannot see how the voter votes. The clerk of election hands out the tickets to be voted, tearing off one stub on which he writes a voter. The voter retires to a booth, and prepares his ticket, and on presenting it the remaining stub is torn off before the ticket is deposited in the box. For all violation of the law, any disorderly conduct, obstructing polls, illegal voting, intimidation, etc., the law provides rigorous fines and penalties. Kate Fiexd, in her paper Wash ington, says "the brotherhood of man is slowly and surely embrac ing woman." Has Kate just found out that men embrace women? It is surely done but we fancy the epithet "slowly" is out of place. Generally it is accomplished rompuy auu vutuusiasuuiujjr. it J 1 1 : tz t WHY IMPORT HOUSES t If there is any country in the world that ought to be able to raise all the horses needed, cer tainly the United States is that country; but- in the year 188S 62,411 horees were imported into the United States, while but 2,263 were exported, leaving us to pur chase that year the surplus, over 60,000. The old tariff laid a duty of 20 per cent, ad valorem on a valuation of $45 per head, equal to nearly $10; hence, Canadian and other horse raisers could afford to pay $600,000 in the form of tariff tax for the privilege of competing with horse breeders in the United States. In order to prevent this competition in the future the Mc Kinley bill proposes to have them pay $30 per head. Under the oper ation of the McKinley bill the American farmers or producers of horses will have not only the bene fit of the $600,000 paid as duty, but of the $4,000,000 paid in addi tion thereto, making in all $4,600, 000 of an increase to the American producer in one item alone ot the McKinley bill. In the month of December, 1891, the farmers of this country export ed barley to the value of $357,228, as against the value of $28,218 in December, 1890; they exported corn to the value of $3,369,837, as against the value of $961,738 ; they exported oats to the value of $1,- 178,549, as against the value of $16,980, they exported oat-meal to the value of $36,266, as against the value of $7,660 ; they exported rye to the value ot $906,824, as against the value of $22,250; they exported wheat to the value of $16,686,301, as against the value of $4,155,228; they exported wheat flour to the value of $7, 620,737, as against the value of $4,853,747. Their total sales of breadstuffs in December, 1891, amounted to $30,241,893, as against $10,126,736; and taking the whole calendar year of 1891, their sales of breadstuff's amounted to $224,319,500, as against $136,- 845,S96 in 1890. This enormous addition to the earnings of the farmers, amounting to $S8,000,000, wa3 accomplished under the oper ation of a tariff which they were told by democratic free-traders would bring about their utter ruin It has been accomplished under the policies of a party which the farmers' alliance has painted to them as wholly inimical to their interests. It may be assumed that with these $88,000,000 in their pockets they will now listen to free-traders and alliance lectur ers witli a degree of amusement only equaled by their contempt. Some doleful people are going about the country saying that within the next ten years the United States will not produce enough breadstuffs and provisions to meet the demands of home con sumption. They probably do not know that not half of the lands of the United States, exclusive of Alaska, have yet been even sur veyed, much less settled up. The surveyed lands in the United States amount to-day to 285,000, 000 acres, the unsurveyed to 294, 000,000. Substantially all the surveyed land is arable, and not more than half of it is now under cultivation. Of the unsurveyed land, at least half is arable. The production of the United States could therefore be, at the lowest calculation, three times as great as it is, so that even when we have 200,000,000 population we shall be able to supply ourselves with agri cultural provisions and still send abroad three times as much as we are sending to-day. Despite :the poor old croakers, there is a lot of fun to be had in this fine old country yet. ' ' . i The sentences passed upon the few Chileans who were tried for assault upon the sailors of the Bal timore are absurdly inadequate Carlos Gomez is sentenced to 920 days' imprisonment on four counts, including 520 days . for wounding Wm. Turnbull, who died ot his injuries. Jose Humada is to serve 320 days for assaulting TurnbulL Fredrico Rodriguez, charged with killing Mate Riggin, is sentenced to only fourteen days' imprison ment for assault, the i adze holding that the evidence does not show that he killed Riggin. GAMBLING. Betting and gambling Were de nounced by the recent Methodist Ecu mencial Council as the two great vices of the age, and the necessity of suppressing them by Vigorous legislation was most strongly urged. Probably the j worst form of gambling is that of lotteries, and yet in various forms, small and great, it fares the best. A man, who grows purple with moral indignation over the pres ence of a faro bank, looks lenient ly upon the sale of lottery tickets, which is the very worst form of gambling. The late Chief J uslice Waite once said on delivering a decision of the supreme court of the United States. "Experience has shown that the common forms of gambling are ; comparatively innocuous when j placed in contact with the wide- j spread pestilence of lotteries. The j former is confined to a few persons and places; but the latter infects the whole community; it enters every dwelling; it reaches every class ; it preys upon the hard earn ings of the poor, and it plunders the ignorant and simple." (Stone vs. state of Mississippi, 11 Otto, 814.) Gambling is the most frightful vice that preys on human society. A successful gambler hovers all his days on that narrow strip of territory which separates the pro fessional gambler and the profes sional thief. The gambling-house is a perfect fish-catchery of criminals. The stupid victim robs his employ er, and goes to prison or becomes a social outcast ; the heartless scoundrel who plucked the silly pigeon ultimately finds somebody sharp enough to take his scalp, and he, too, becomes a thief, so that whether rook or pigeon, whether you deal or bet, whether you cheat or get cheated, the pen itentiary is at last the place where you survey your contracted empire and behold your barren home. It is a vile, desolating vice, re deemed by no convivial impulse, ' relieved by no warmth ot ill-regu- ' lated affection ; it is vulgar, greedy, base, predaceous, dishonest, cold blood business from the start; it is born of avarice and indolence ; it is the parent of theft ; it is base born in its cradle; it is generally branded with criminal infamy in its grave. Post-Intelligencer. The Chinese minister at Wash ington doesn't like the San Fran cisco newspapers. lie says: "When I got off the steamer at San Fran cisco on my way to this country's national capital, a reporter came to me and said: 'How do you like America?' I told him I like America all right. 'You go to Wash ington V he asked. 'Yes,' I said; 'I go to Washington.' And the next morning the reporter's paper came out with an interview, three columns long. About a month af ter the prime minister of China wrote me a letter in which he said: 'You talk too much.' " Vice-President Morton has served notice on whom it may con cern, that he doesn't want the Minneapolis nomination. It is a curious fact that with one except ion no vice-president has received a renominalion since the method of naming candidates in conven tion was adopted. This exception was Richard M. Johnson, who was elected vice-president on the Van Buren ticket in 1836, and ran with Van Buren again in 1840, and was beaten by Tippecanoe and Tyler too in that year. The Hill-Gorman-Brice handful of politicians will all be on hand at the state convention, arguing against instructions. When did the Oregon delegation to the nat ional convention ever reflect the wishes of the party? Excepting in 1888, we do not know of a single instance. Review. The Rosebnrg Review, although a democratic paper, is very bitter against Hill. The "' republicans can win the presidency without the vote of New York; the democrats can not. Hence the hot fight in the demo-' cratic party to control New York is but an instance of that party's propensity to hang itself whenever it has rope enough given it. The manoeuvers of Hill wilt give the state to the republicans. FOR YAQUINA'S IMPIIO YEMEST. Following is the full text of Congressman Hermann's bill, pro viding for an appropriation for the speedy completion of the improve ments at the entrance to Yaquina bay, Oregon, which has been read twice and referred to the commit1 tee on rivers and harbors: Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress as sembled. That the sum of one hun dred and sixty-five thousand dol lars be. and the same is hereby, appropriated, out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appro priated, and to be expended in con tinuing the improvement at the en trance to Yaquina bay Oregon, the same to be expended under the direction of the secret ary of war. WHA T DO YOU THINK OF IT t Yes, reader, a worthy senator of Oregon proposes a bill to congress to legalize the sale of liquors -in Alaska, our prohibition territory. Heretofore the importation of in toxicating liquors in said territory has been prohibited by a statute of the United States. The revenue cutter which should enforce this law and which leaves San Fran cisco, too late to prevent the whal ers landing the liquor at the ports of Alaska, should be started out a month sooner. Uncle Sam should enforce this law, as his head seems to have been quite level when it was enacted and we do so hope he will not become dazed by this pro position and go back upon his word. Please, Uncle Sam, don't. You are a little older than the sen ator or I and, if not in your second childhood, better able to give ad vice. Those poor Indians in Alaska are your own children, and would you be so cruel as to let another ot your sons ruin your little ones? Poor, ignorant children ! It is true that'some smuggling is done and the Indians and Esqui maux get a little liquor," but now the chances of their obtaining in toxicating drinks are few to what free traffic would make them. What will be the use of spending thous ands of dollars yearly to Christian ize and educate those people if tin's vile stuff is allowed license? E. M. S. Some one having bragged that only one public execution had taken place in Turkey in ten j'ears, our esteemed fellow-countryman, j Sol Hirsch, now minister from Yankeedom to the Bosphorus, in vestigated and discovered that no culprit who could raise $100 with j which to bribe the officials, had i suffered death during the last 'twenty years. There is always a good reason for anything that hap pens, or don't happen in Turkey. England has mortgages on Irish lands to the amount of $800,000, 000. At an average interest of five per cent, this would make an annual tribute of $40,000,000 a year from the people of the little island to the English capitalists. As the population of Ireland is but $5,000,000, this would make an annual interest charge of $8 per head, or $40 per family. No won der the people are poor. Little Frances Taft is the daughter of an American mission ary, Rev. Marcus L. Taft, in Pekin. i Her father has a seminary there called the . Imperial Thug-Wen College, and the emperor of China is learning English from one of lit tie Frances' illustrated primers.- This is not a fairy tale, but an earnest narrative received by Dr. Taft's friends from Pekin. And now the cotton planters of the south are meeting together and asking to be protected from the pauper labor of the Orient. And in this way do republican principles invade democratic strongholds. 'The outlook for John Cliinamai in this country is bad. Both tl senate and house are considering more stringent measures lor ex eluding the almond-eyed . Celesti als! ' The grand jury found the asy lum overcrowded. The next legis lature will have to take notice. There will have to be more room. Statesman. LIST OF JURORS DRAWN FOR . CoRVAlLis-William Bogtte, M.

When my baby was three months old his cheek and forehead began to break oat with white pim ples on -red surface. In a few days itching com menced, which waa terrible. After he would rub it, matter wouia ooze from the points. In a short time it spread over the top of his head, then cabs soon formed on head and face. We used everything we could hear of for nearly live months. It grew worse all the time. I saw your advertisement of theCu ticuba Remedies in the "Chicago Weekly." We gurchased CuTICURi .ehedies and com menced their use. in three weeks time there was not a sore or pimple, not even a scar, on head or face.
