Sickness and absence from the voter's legal residence are the only excuses rec ognized. This is in the line ol practical measures for the pre servation of municipal govern ments from domination by the corrupt and unintelligent elements among voters. It is a recognized fact that whenever those interested in an honest administration of city affairs have gone to the polls in a body they have triumphed over the boodlers, and from this the conclusion is drawn that the rais goverumeut of our cities is the di rect result of the failure of a large number of the more honorable and intelligent class ot citizens to cast their ballots. A man has no risht to shirk his duty as a citizen. It is one of his duties to pay taxes on his property, and the law com pels him to do it; it is one of his duties to serve on the jury, and the law takes him from his store or office, regardless of his wishes, and puts him in the jury box; it is one of his duties to rear his child ren and educate them to become good and intelligent citizens, and in some states the law compels Jiim to attend to it; it is also one of his duties to help administer the government, of which he is a part, by designating with his ballot whom he prefers to administer or make the laws and what character of laws he desires to have made, and the law has an eaual right to compel him to discharge the obli gation. As government comes from the people, good government can only come from good people. The creature cannot be better than the creator. If the corrupt elements are permitted to dominate at the polls, a corrupt government can be the onlj' result. If a man neglects to perform his duty as a citizen in this respect, even to his own injury, his neighbor, who is also injured by this neglect, has the moral right to insist that he shall per form it, and this moral right might be made a legal one with much benefit to the cause of good gov ernment. In these days when most people, from the president down, are ear nestly in favor of protecting the seals in Behring sea, it is curious to note that Senator Allen of Washington has recently laid be fore the senate "a petition from the chamber of commerce at Port Townsend praying for the passage of a bill to protect the fish along the Washington coast, and arguing that seals should be destroyed because they consume more food fish every year than are used in the canneries, and because the seal-fur trade is maintained solely to suit the tastes of the rich, and, moreover, is controlled by a monopoly. The substitution of steel masts for wooden ones has not proven great success. The three steel masts of the United States cruiser Philadelphia weight 50.000 pounds and cost $32,000. They are to be replaced by wooden ones, of Ore gon pine, that will weigh about 5,000 pounds and cost about $500. The decision of the navy depart ment to return to the use of wood en masts is pretty good evidence that they are superior to steel, and meaus considerable money to owners of timber specially adapted io the purpose. Mobile (Ala bama) Commercial. Nebraska celebrated its quarter centennial as a state this week, Jiaving been admitted on March 1, 1867. It was even no longer ago titan this away out West, and was but thinly settled, but now it is a great state with over 1,000,000 ' population. Oregon, as a state, is eight years older than -Nebraska, and its remoteness from the crowd ed Atlantic has prevented its rapid settlement and development. But ihe next few years will witness a great growth in Oregon. Tele gram. When . the talk of a railroad Across Behring straits to Siberia first began, most people thought it sl visionary, scheme that would aieyer be earried out, . but it is not improbable that many men now jalive will actually see its accomp lishment. All the way by rail from one side -of the Atlantic to the other would be a ride that would jnake continent-crossing from the Atlantic to the Pacific a short " trip by -comparison. . " Met who are always scheming 4Meauaaally eueeeed, but they pay leg $aee in- toa jvoiic OUR GUX FACTORY. Senator Dolpli. of Oregon, has introduced -a bill appropriating $1,000,000" for the erection of suit able buildings and the purchase of suitable machinery and other materials necessary for - the establishment and maintenance at some point on or near the Pacific coast of a nlant for finishing and assembling parts of heavy guns and other ordnance for the use of army and navy. The senate com mittee on the coast defenses lias passed on the bill and will report it favorably to the senate. This means that the gun factory, should the bill pass, will be located either in Oregon or Washington, if the senators from those two states can accomplish it. They are not working for California to any great extent where their own states are concerned, and they are not at all to b'ame. Ihe duty of a senator i3 to his own constituents, in preference to the people of another state. AH the same. the gun factory should go to Benecia, and not to some point on the Columbia river or on Pugec sound. California is entitled to it by every considera tion, and we hope that Senators Felton and Stanford will not let Dolph and his associates steal a march on them. S. F. Post. The determination of the peo ple's party to put a presidential ticket in the field durng the com ing campaign has awakened con siderable interest in the prooable candidates. Congressman Simp son, of Kansas, recently stated that, in his opinion, James B. Weaver, of Iowa, would lead the ticket. L. L. Polk, of North Carolina, T. Y. Powderly, Grand Master Work man of the Knights of Labor ; An son J. Streeler, of Illinois, Charles Van Wyck, of jSew York, and Ignatius Donnelly, ot Minnesota, have also been mentioned. Pow derly, Weaver and Donnelly are the only candidates who have a national reputation, but as these have made many antagonists in their careers, it is likely some less conspicuous man will De norm nated. Representative Hermann, of Oregon, believes it is possible the United States may secure the par tial revocation of the edict against the exportation of Angora goats and has introduced a bill directing the minister to Turkey to under take negotiations for the purchase of 100 or 200 pure-blood Angora goats. Oregon, California, Ari zona and other parts of the United States, it is said, are well adapted to raising these animals, and it is hoped to domesticate them in California first. No man has- wor ked harder or accomplished more for the inter ests of Benton county in congress than our present representative, Hon. Binger Hermann. Should he receive the nomination at the convention to represent Western Oregon for another term, Benton county would stand in Hue with a large majority of the votes in his favor at the coming election. Now will begin a democratic wail because the republicans in congress will not interpose to save the democratic party from making a Tool of itself on the silver ques tion. It is a good thing for the republicans to let the democratic party take its own course. It can always be relied on to make a fool of itself at a suitable time. Ore gonian. When politics get warm and a campaign is in progress, the howl goes up of the '"ring," "gang," "boodlers, ' etc., says the Port An geles Tribune. But it is always the fellows in the minority who make these howls. It is the ones m majority who constitute the "ring," "gang," and "boodlers." Funny, isn't it that the majority always is with the ring ? The school meeting last Monday demonstrates the fact that the taxpayers of Corvallis are in favor of a liberal support for our public schools. Ihe seven-mill school tax was carried by a large ma jority. An exchange says, "Perhaps David Burglar Hill may steal and boss in New York state, but he will find that the nation is a good deal bigger than New York. Those who try neither to forget nor forgive are engaged in storing up a vast amount of unpleasantness- to worry their old age. Election cigars and political platforms are constructed more for the eye than any other sense, says an exchange. A bill has been introduced in the senate by Sawyer, authorizing the establishment of a postal tele graph service.

Paper read at tho late Farmers' Institute by Mrs: A. iL tahipley. - ' The great Master of the Universe has ordained that all things shall be governed by laws which are all wise and inexorable. If the laws by which the heavenly bodies are kept in shape and made to move in their respective orbits should be nullified, even but for a moment, destruction would follow reaching from Alcyone or wherever tho center of our astral universe is, to the remotest sun, planet or moon in that system. If the laws relating to light, heat and electricity, and other invisi ble forces, were to become inoperative life would cease. If the laws control- ino- t.lif rii-r.nlation of water which cause it to flow to the ocean m streams, which draw, it up into clouds to b precipitated again to the earth in mists and rain, were to lose their force earth would be uninhabitable. The laws relating to animal and vegetable life e unchangeable. By continued favorable conditions plants and ani mals may be improved, but a bird is still a bird, a fish remains a fish, a worm continues a worm, a fly never changes into a bee or bug, and man is always a man. It is not to be sup posed that God, who made laws to govern the minutest of His creatures, made man, the crowning glory of all, capable of reasoning and of iirquiring knowledge and heir to eternal life, without making laws for his guidance. He has said, "As ye sow so ye must a 1 e A. reap, ana man was maae a iree agem. with power to choose what and how he shall sow. This law governs man's physical as well as his intellectual, moral and spiritual natures. Physical law requires that to have good health a person must have pure air to breathe, pure and wholesome food to eat and pure liquids to drink. With our close houses, unhealthful dress and manner of living, too highly concentrated food, tea, coffee and the various kinds of alcoholic drinks, which are narcotic in their ultimate results, it requires much study and selt-contiol to obey the physical laws wen fairly well. An excess of food is one of the most pro lific sources of disease. It fills the body with morbid matter in which thosa organisms which are present in malarial diseases, rheumatism, head ache, dyspepsia, liver complaint, kid ney trouble, etc., can find lodgment and multiply. Want of proper exei cise causes a person to rust out and too much to. wear ont Trouble and worry are weakeniug in their effects. If we find we are getting sick, it is best to stop at once and try to find out what the trouble is, what law we have transgressed, and then go resolutely to work to get back into proper condi tions. First, stop eating and cleause body, both inside and out, with warm water ; it is a great cleansing agent. Keep the feet warm and the head cool. Cool or cold applications of water, steadily persisted in, will seldom fail to allay a fever, and there is no danger of taking cold while the fever is on, but the treatment should cease as soon as the fever subsides. Then rest, quiet, and good, but not too officious, nursing will usually be all that is needed. We should not make the often fatal mis take of using so-called stimulants, as their use is always followed by conse quent depression and only weakens the patient. " Bleeding has gene out of piactice years ago, and calomel, that terrible poison, is seldom used now ; it is too dangerous. Alcohol, in all its forms as medicine, goes next. A convention of physicians of national rfeputation, last sumn.fr, after pro longed discussion and comparing of notes, pronounced almost unanimous ly against - the use of alcohol in any form as a medicine. I wish every one could read their long and interesting report. The officer who, in Washing ton after the war, compiled the medi cal statistics of the army of the Po tomac found, to his astonishment, that in those regiments where alcohol was not used the death rate was much lighter than where it was allowed. The benent supposed to be derived from it is not real, and if it was, the danger of alcohol habit is so great that thoughtful people fear to tamper with it. Shall we take morphine and deaden the sensibilities so that we cannot feel pain and let the cause remain 1 Will we risk it and perhaps contract the deadly morphine habit God forbid. Poison may kill the microbes that are thickening the blood or feasting on the vitals and if we also are not killed or so weakened that we die of ex haustion all may seem well, but if, in stead of running that risk, we cleanse our bodies of morbid matter these or ganisms will have nothing to feed upon and they will disappear and we be left well and strong. There are many imple remedies such as tens made I from, the aromatic, herbs, .boxaor, sul- j phur, etc., which are obnoxious to microbes and are comparatively harm less to men, and it has been said that a cloth saturated with turpentine and spread over the mouth and nOse, so that the person must breathe through it is a sure cure for pneumonia. Strong medicine which reduces the patient uses up some of the reserved life force and it can never be restored. - Intellectual law ordains that we must give our minds proper mental food or they will be dwarfed and feeble, and improper food will make them crippled and diseased. Mind, to be vigorous, must be exercised in various directions. Dwelling too much on one . subject ofun makes a person cranky or insane. One may be too careless to think, too indolent to read, or too weak to reason, but he cannot plead ignorance of the law or evade the penalty if he breaks it, or prevent his children from inheriting his mental weakness. Mental faculties will be come stronger by use and weaker by disuse. Memory is improved by ex ercise or lost by want o-' u. It will not pay to go through the world asleep and let others do our thinking for us. Violation of moral laws are far reaching in results. Selfishness, which leads one to disregard the rights of others, may in his children be de veloped into dishonesty or theft. One who deceives will not be trusted. If those who indulge in low, vile thoughts, words, acts and company could see themselves as others see them, if they knew that their characters are so plain ly written on their faces that observ ing people can easily read them, they would hide their heads in shame, if they possess such an attribute. We should stand up for what we know to be right, and never give up a principle io any one. TuU law is so closely allied to those which govern the spiritual nature that to keep it one must love his neighbor as him self, which he can scarcely do without loving God with ail his heart, and one who does this has peace, rest and joy, which nothing else can give. The persons who are filled with that Celestial magnetism which flows from God tothose who are striving to live in harmony with Him, who possess faith, that substantial force, which reaches to the eternal throne, need have no fear, for "All things work to gether for good to those who love God." If it should be true that all the thoughts and purposes of our minds are indelibly stamped there so that in ihe spirit world all who will may read both what we are and what we ever nave been, what will our record be? The past is gme, but the future is before us. How cm bet ter learn to know and keep the laws God has made tor our guidauce He has said that lie is able and willing; to ! help those who come to Him in sin- cent with faith and trust, and the testimony of millions who h;i,ve Jived, and many who are still living, goes to prove that they louud peace and happi ness in such help. Why shouul we walk in darkness when He is willing to give us light? Why grope in igno rance when wisdom is wicliin our grasp ? Why be weighed down with trouble when we can cast our burdens on the Lord? Why live in unrest when he has said, "Come unto me all ye that re weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest." Let us i study that wonderful book, which brings only confusion to those who read for purposes of. criticism, but peace, rest nnd joy to all who study it with the earnest purpose ol finding the truth therein contained. Let us give more time to such study and less to the acqiring of things which perish with the using, and strive to lay up treasures in Heaven, that we may feel assured that there are prepared for us mansions eternal in the heavens. NOTES FOR WOMEN. It is proposed by roeriibers of the W. O. T. U. ta iully represent the "products" of the saloon at the Worlds fair, that is, almshouses, insane asylums' idiot asylums, and last but not least the potters field. The bill to legalize the sale of liquors in Alaska is being pushed through the senate. It is thought, by good authorty, that if this bill is passed that it will be the ruina tion of the natives. There- is a bill . before congress to amend the act passed, last year prohibiting the granting of liquor licenses within one "mile of the Soldier's Home. There has been a marked improvement in the lives of the soldiers since the pass age of this bill and there is much concern regarding the amendment. Mrs. E. A. liussell, of Minneap olis, Minn., has made a great suc cess of the coffee house of the W. O. T. U. Over $100,000 have been received within the last three years and 2,300 person's are often fed in one day. . : The fourteen and a halfdollars, collected by the-ladies of the good Samaritan. Church for Mrs. Hanson, of the Alsea, have been turned over to a responsible person, to go toward the purchase of whatever livestock would be the most useful to the distressed family. - Mis. Hanson, with her little boy and babe returned to her home Fridayv very grateful to the people of Corvallis who so kindly helped her. Upwards of sixty names, nearly all of which were voters, were signed on the petition to congress that Senator Dolph's bill to legal ize tne saloon m Alaska De not. suffered to become a law. But for haste in the matter many more might have been gathered in for "common humanity's sake." The W. C. T. U. of Salem are anxious that the women should take up their responsibilities and vote, whenever legally entitled to do so at the annual bchool meet ing. They feel that the kinder garten is the only right training for j very young children, and see no1 reason why there should not be what the law entitles them to de i mand. The state W. C. T. U. aid ed Mrs.Dunlap and her friends in ; obtaining this law several years ! ago, and the Portland school board i have fought it ever since. Lei ! the smaller cities lead Portland in ! the right way. Private kinder gartens are excellent things, but why should people pay for things when they are already taxed in order to provide them. At the union bible reading on Thursday afternoon the passage read, led up to the subject of bap tism. The way baptism is regard ed by the different churches repre sented there worked up much interest. E. M. S. The goodly attendance at the drawing-room meeting at Mrs. B. W. Wilson's on Saturday last showed great interest in the topic on hand.. Judge Holgate was there armed with the clerk's papers, and they bristling with figures, showed how imperative was a seven-mill tax, if the effi ciency of the school is to be pre served throughout the nine months school year. More than half of this is to pay interest on money borrowed, and to decrease the capital of indebtedness. Our beau tiful school house was not built by fairies in the night, and has to be paid for. The trouble is that some people (men only, be it known) are smart enough and mean enough to evade their school tax. The several instances of widows in 4heir little home, which home is often their means of living, pay it like the brave women that they are without a even murmur. It seems a pity that the school tax could not be legally spread over a greater number of people. There are people content to rent their houses year by year and who need not for that reason be exempted. There are many who come into town for a portion of the year for the sake of the education of their children. Why should they have this benefit entirely at the ex pense of their neighbors ? Why should uot a tax be levied on them, on their children instead of their properly. L. The District of Columbia is sup posed to consist chiefly of board ing houses and hotels, and the people are believed to get their sustenance from congressmen and lobbyists, but according to the cen sus report there are in the District 2300 manui'acturinjr, establish ments having an invested capital of $28.S76,258, employing 23.477 hands, paying out annually $14, 638,790, and producing $39,296,- 259 worth of goods out of $17,187, 752 worth of raw material. This a much belter industrial showing than it was supposed the District would make, and proves the rapid growth of Washington is not due wholly to the lactf that con gress meets there. A WARNING-DONT USE BIG WORDS, In promulgating esoteric cogitations or articulating superficial sentimentalities and philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your statements possess a clarified concise oess, compacted comprehensibleness, coale scent consistency and a concentrated cog ency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine af fectations. In trying to impress ppon others the superiority of . the Wisconsin Central Lines, and .why you and so man others use this thoroughfare from St. Paul and Min neapolis and Duluth and Ashland to Mil waukee, Chicago and points east and south, it is not necessary to use jawbreakers. Let your extemporaneous descautiugs and un premeditated expatiations have intelligibil ity and veracious vivacity, without rhodo montadeor thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, psittace- ous vacuity, ventriloqnal verbosity and van diloquent vapidity, shun double eutendres, prurient jocosity and pestiferous profanity, obsenrent or appareut. In other word), talk plainly, naturally, sensibly, and truth fully say the Wisconsin Central Lines is THE route, and that ends it. ' - The Massachusetts insnrance law is the best in the United States. Every company in that state is compelled to give you a guar antee against loss after two payments of cash or paid np insurance, without any condition and at any time. Tho Massachusetts Mu tual pays yon annual cash dividends, or they will increase the insurance. , BABY ONE SOLID SORE (Tried Everything without Belief.
