The police of San Francisco have been threatened with trouble with the anarchists and are taking due precaution to prevent it. Why not make the road ques tion a political issue anything to bring it prominently before the people, says an exchange. If we did the republican party would be on top. Do the people of Benton county approve of the Mackay-Osborn administration in the sheriff's of fice ? The election of Dave Osborn means a continuation of the same combination. The success of the republican party in this county means a great help in carrying the state election in June, and a republican victory in Oregon then will sound the keynote for success in the national election in November. Money of itself is no use to us, says an exchange. The author of that expression should put himself up for a dime museum freak. The average specimen of humanity wants all the money he can get and kicks because more. he can't get The startling news is wafted from Texas that the prohibitionists , have met and nominated a ticket. Thus, one by one, are popular illusions rudely dispelled. There are some things in Texas besides democrats, whisky and rattle snakes. Ex. Every town in this section, without exception, is growing and building up, says the Salem States man. This speaks well for the 'general development of the coun try. There is a demand for all the improvements being made. brought about by the development of the country. The candidates of the respective parties will make a canvass of the various precincts in the county before the June election. The' will probably hold the first speak ing at lower Alsea on the 18th of this month. The people will then have a chance to shake hands with them and become better ac quainted. Do the people of Benton county want a man for the position of school superintendent that is not ven a college graduate? We ' think not. Then vote - for T. H. "Gragg; he is not only a college graduate, but has had several years practical -experience in edu cational work right here fix Benton county. lie will fill the office with credit to himself and the people of Benton county. , It is beyond question that our state has obtained , more recogni tion at the national capital, since republicans have represented it than when it was represented by Grover, Kelly, Whiteaker, Slater and other democrats. In the days of democratic representation the appropriations were small, and al most everything that has been done for the Columbia river and fas been done since the state j(ed its democrats out of con- pgomaa. TIME FOR ACTION. The Koseburg Tlaiiulealer, makes the following sensible re marks to the republicans of Doug las county. They are also applica ble to Benton county as well. Each and every candidate on the republican ticket should be up and doing. He should work, first and foremost, for himself, and sec ondly for al! nominees on the ticket with him. A man who will not work for himself, ushig every honorable means to secure Ins election, deserves to be beaten and generaly is. The one who will not also help to smooth the path for his companions in the race, less fortunately situated than himself, also desrves defeat and is usually remembered at the next election, and the one who is base enough to trade with the enemy to secure his own election, his name shall be "Dennis," and he will "get it in the neck" when next he aspires to office. There wilt be no trading this year, unless it is done very slyly indeed. There has been altogether too much of it in the past to make it safe this time ; and, besides, the new election laws are not verv conducive to this sort of electioneering. There is no assur ance that the goods will hi deliv ered, and there is no need of trading any way. Let every can didate stand upon his own merits or fall with a clear record and try'em agiin some oth?r time. The Plaindealer is republican through, and through, and expects to stand by the ticket through thick and thin it the members composing it are worthy, but it will not uphold trickery or fraud, and will denounce any one at tempting it. The republicans are in the majority in this county, the men nominated by the convention are worthy and capable, all well qualified lor the positions to which they aspire, and there is no earthly reason why they should not re ceive a good round majorty at the polls, liet there ' be unity of action, let every republican work for the success of his local ticket and the state and national tickets will take care of themselves; and Oregon will again poll a tremen dous majority for her republican representatives, for Hon. Binger Llermann, and for President Harri son. Tiiep.k is one idea which ani mates the progressive farmer of today, and that is that the effects of the cheapening competition of all the world can only be met by the exercises of superior intelli gence. The American farmer must be the brainiest farmer in the world, if he is to be the most prosperous. Mere physical labor, no matter how hard and persist ent, is not enough to make a farm er prosperous.- He must also know what it will pay him best, in his individual circumstances, to produce, and how to make that product bring the largest returns for the amount of labor and other expenses incurred in producing it. This involves both scientific and practical knowledge, as -well as good business qualifications. It is equally necessary that he should have a good understanding ot the principles of political economy and of the science of our government, tin order that he may know what legislation will be for or against his interest, and how to make his vote and interest in affecting leg islation, and the management of public affairs. Rural Northwest." Nevada is famous on account of its four bonanza kings, known as "the big four," and now Oregon has leaped into fame by the action of the democrats in sending four bankers as delegates to the nation al convention to vote for Cleve land, "the gold-bug." This beats the "big four" of Nevada, or any other four on record.. The demo cratic party is in favor of free trade, free silver and free whisky, and opposed to banks and bank ers, monopolists, capitalists and "gold-bugs," and yet it elects four capitalists to go to Chicago and nominate the biggest "gold-bug" in the United States for president. These are the fellows who are run ning Veatch for consrress on the poor man's friend, anti-bankerl racicet, while they are misrepre senting and slandering Dolph and Hermann every day as being the friends and servants of bankers and corporations. In a court of justice they would be fined for contempt, and -the people ought to show their contempt for such a party by voting against them. State Journal. ' ' The people of Benton county will endorse Hon. E. H. Belknap at the polls next June in prefer ence to J. W. Ingles, the democratic-prohibition candidate for the legislature-the man, who, after seeking political favors at the hands of the prohibition party and failed, now flops over and is taken up by the democracy. Water was not strong enough for him, neither will democratic whiskey be strong enough to pull him through at the June ejection. Tun leader in its comments last week says, "the workings of the republican and democratic parties, recently held in this city, plainly shows where 'ring rule' and 'bossism' were brought into practice." Yes, indeed, the re publicans did not have to whip their defeated candidates at the late convention into line for the sake of harmony among " their friends and the part3T, as did the democratic bosses by compelling them to publish advertisements in the papers to the effect that they were forced to stand in line, or words to that effect. What shows plainer "bossism" than the acts of this man who declined the nomi nation at the hands of the people's party for the sake of securing a place on the democratic ticket, through the promises of his friends, and was then compelled to step aside and surrender his 'deserved rights to one of the "ring's" favor ites? About the only thing that can be said by our democratic cotem porary against Willard Linville. the republican candidate for the office of recorder, is that he was defeated in Polk county for the office of clerk. Well, suppose he was. Polk county, like Benton, is very close, and there is certainly more honor in being defeated by a small majority in a closely con tested election than to be twice defeated by overwhelming majori ties light at one's own home and by his own party, as was Dave Osborn when he was defeated by Jim Dunn for the office ot marshal of Corvallis, and by J udge Holgate lor mayor. The democrats have a considerable majority in Corvallis, and if Dave cannot even carry the strength of his party right here at his own home, what can he expect from the balance of the county? Why, defeat, of course. What would Veatch do in con gress without Pennoyer to dictate to him? - The democrats are talk ing about his having" been Pen noyer's right hand man in the leg islature. That's right. There is no one to dispute it. Whatever Pennoyer did Veatch would do, and when he saw that Pennoyer wanted him to vote nearly half a million for improvements on the Columbia river he voted, but when the people of Lane county wanted him to vote to appropriate $10,000 to be expended in his own county he wouldn't listen to them. Had Pennoyer had such men as Veatch in congress a few weeks ago when he was putting his thumb on the pot and trying to boss the whole outfit in regard to the appropria tion for impnovemenis on the Columbia, he would have had things his own way. Eugene Reg ister. The old soldiers of the civil war are beginning to fall rapidly be fore the grim reaper. Their mor tality, for a number of years suc ceeding the war, was less than that of an equal number of men; of the same age who had not seen military service. The reason was, that the soldiers were picked men. so to speak men who had passed a medical examination. They were "first-class lives," to use the phrase of the life insurance men. But the wear and tear of those years of conflict now begin to tell terribly. Over half of the grand total of men mustered into the Union service are dead, and the remainder will speedily pass away. The pension list has reached its highest point. The pensioners are dying off as fast as new names are added to the rolls, and the death rate will go on increasing.' This is the way they carry on their fruit "business in California. The San Jose Mercury says, the railroads continue to furnish us with boom figures. The overland shipments ot' last week amounted to 745,970 pounds, as against 224, 240 pounds for the corresponding week of last year. This is a gain of more than 300 percent, and ad vances us far along toward the goal of making this year's ship ments double of those of last year. San Jose may yet be able to an nounce at the World's fair that she shipped 10,000 car-loads of fruit from her surrounding orch ards in 1892, and no other city in the world can make such a claim. : Hox. J. .0. Fcllerton, republican candidate for circuit judge of tin's district, was in Corvallis last Tues day renewing acquaintance with his friends here. Mr. Fullerton is an ablejawyer and on several occa sions has been elected to positions ot trust and honor by the people of Douglas county, lie will make a good judge'and will undoubtedly be elected. . " '- The touching spectacle of Dave Hill, delivering the nominating speech for Cleveland in the Chic ago convention would be a glor ious triumph of reform, ; says an exchange. The star-eyed goddess would not know whether she was afoot or a horseback. . V - OUR CITY CHARTER. It is difficult for one in the outer circle to get a correct idea of what the city council is aiming at, but if we examine its work during the past two years the only safe con -elusion we can arrive at, is that some sinister outside influence pervades its body This opinion is justified when we read the new ly obtained city charter, in the power it has chosen to command, its elaborate care in fortifying the same, its questionable work on the limitation of city indebtedness, in its utter indifference to the safety of property owners, its reckless of fer to the general voter, in the manner the charter was pushed through the legislature, in depriv ing the citizen ot voting for prom inent officers, and in some of the ordinances passed, or sought to pass, since the charter was ob tained. Taking the council as a body, they are men who have the re spect of the community. Taking them individually, there is hardly one of them who. were any one of the above objectionable features presented to him and thoroughly explained, would be willing to sustain them, or would desire to be placed under them with a council at any time liable to be more aggressive than they are. If then that which is harsh and oppressive to a community can not be approved individually, can it become proper and laudable under an organization of less than oie dozen men? It is not necessary for us to dis cuss all the above points, to men tion is sufficient, but there are one or two which so strongly plead for fair play that a word or two more is required. The city is empower ed, through its charter and a ma jority vote of the qualified voters, to assume an indebtedness over and above general city purposes not to exceed $1(50,000 until fur ther empowered by the legislature. Who now, is the qualified voter? A citizen of the United States', or one who has declared his inten tion to become such, having lived in the state six months and in the city sixty days. This is all that is required for a vote for this pro posed extra indebtedness. Now, we have those living among us having interests identical with ours, having property, paying tax es, who have neither vote or recog nition. The stranger without means or interest it may be he has only just declared his in tention to become an American citizen is empowered to signihy his desire, or the desire of others, by casting the proud prerogative of American citizenship. But the widow, the minor or orphans hav-. ing property and from which comes the tax, what of them? Who is their protector? They have none, they are overlooked and ignored. We have stated the two taxes, city general and city improve ments and lateral sewerage, the latter two would be special assess ments. Now in voting, there is no objection to all qualified citi zens voting for city officers or general purposes, but there must be some protection or safeguard for the property holders when ex tra taxes are to be collected lor extra purposes.. But the city char ter ordains that any one or all ol the projects enumerated may be placed before the people, and if a majority vote is obtained, the pur pose would be put in operation. This feature we regard as unfair, if not downright tyranny. The state constitution sa3Ts, "no law shall be passed granting to any citizen, or class of citizens, privileges or immunities which, upon the same terms, shall not equally belong to all citizens;'' and again, "all elections shall be free and equal." There is a safe guard that can be placed i.n that charter, it is, to require upon any measure' of extra indebtedness not less than two-thirds of the qualified voters to carry the measure. This is perhaps better than property qualification for it obviates ninny difficulties in that method. This, then, lVthe citizens work. It must be talked ot, worked for and demanded at the hands if the council, or from the representa tives soon to be elected. R. Theue appears to be some danger that we may have a Ja panese problem as serious as that which the Chinese have imposed upon u. Recent; advices Jrom Japan state that the population is increasing very rapidly and the government is considering the ad visability of promoting the emigra tion of the ; surplus laborers on a large scale. The Japanese are cheap workers, and will, of course, lower the rate of wages wherever they appear in large numbers, so that the " exclusion bill may soon have to be amended so as to in clude the natives of Japan as well as those of China. , If you contemplate building this summer call on A. F. Peterson, con tractor and builder. 1 He will prepare tlie plans and guarantee the best of work at reascmabje prices, ' The Florence West, a strong advocate of Binger Hermann, says: "If any person says to you that Congressman Hermann is not a friend to the Great Siuslaw, say' to him that he is- a falsifier, is libeling abetter man than he will ever be, and that the curse of all the valley is upon his head. Mr. Hermann's laithlul worlc in our behalf warrants us in coming man fully to the front and fighting for him." The democrats seem to have it in for Capt. Robertson, the repub lican candidate for assessor, be cause he has been a sea-captain. This is a flimsy argument, for not only has the captain been in the real estate business for a number of years and become well posted on the value of real estate, but some of the smartest and most prominent men of the nation to day spent the early part of their lives as sailors. MANNER OF VOTING UNDER THE NEW OREGON LAW. We have boiled down tje new election law and present all the material innovations below. As a rule the elections boards meet about as before and till vacancies from the citizens present. The main feature of the law lies in the fact that all the names of the candidates are printed upon one ballot, which is furnished at public expense, and the booths are provided where the voter alone with God, an official ballot and a lead pencil, crosses out those whom he does not wish to vote for. In case the judges appointed by the county court be not present at the polls, the elec tors present may select from among them selves the members of the board. Foils to be open from S in the morning to 6 in the evening. The board may adjqurn for one' hour at noon, but the ballot box etc., must be in sight of four of the board all the time. Any person present at the polls who may suspect a voter, is at liberty to challenge him. A voter must be a citizen of the United States, or have declared his intention to be come such one year before trying to vote. He mast be 21 ; reside in the state for six months and must be a resident of the precinct. Where a married man's family resides is his residence. Where a single man sleeps is his resi dence. In incorporated tawns no person shall ap proach within fifty feet of the polls except the officers necessary and the person in the act of voting. One person of each political party "may stand outside the guard rail to challenge voters. Judges of election have the power to fine violators of the rules, fifty dollars and the money goes to the school fund. If the fine isn't paid, twenty-five days in the county jail may be imposed. Countin must begin one hour after the polls close and continue without adjourn ment till it is finished. Only white ballots shall be used, and bal lots which cannot be determined nhall be void. Colored ballots may be used solely as sample ballots for the information of the voters. The white ballots used in voting are to be stamped "Official Ballot." The official ballot must contain the name of the precinct in which it is voted. All the names of the candidates must also ap pear. The ballot will begin something like this: OFFICIAL BALLOT. Election June 6, 1802. BENTON COUNTY. Corvallis Precinct No. 1, For Congress. Vote for One. .0 Binger Hermann, Hcpub- of Rosebnrg. lican. M. V. Kork, " Peonies of Salem. ' 1 eoP'e3 . . R. M. VEATcn, Demo- of Eugene. crat. The lower blank space is for the name of gome one not on the ticket, in case the vot er wishes to vote tor some one else. The voter must cross out the names of those - he does not wish to vote for. In case you vote for Hermann, run your pencil through the names of Kork and Veatch, and so on down the ticket, till the precinct officers are reached. The county clerk must provide one larqe and one small ballot box for each precinct, lso poll books, pens, ink, blotting pads, in delible pencils, string and sealing wax. The sheriff under direction of the county court must provide tables, guard rails and booths for secrecy in preparing ballots. One booth for every forty electors at a poll ing place. The voter mast give his name and resi dence when applying for a ballot; in case he cannot read, two judges shall assist him in making out the ballot. Any person who exhibits his ballot so as to let it be known how he votes is liable to a fine of 50 to $200. Any person wbo shall electioneer within fifty feet of a polling place is liable to a fine a nd imprisonment. Any judge or clerk of election who does not follow the exact course of the rules. as to secrecy, etc., is liable to a fine of $500 to $2000, or one to three years inprisonmeut, or both. I Any person who shall tear notices or dis turb any election backages unlawfully is li able to $500 fine or imprisonment, or both. J WHY NOT DEHORN YOUR CATTLE?
