AN APPROPRIATION NECESSARY.
The channel of the Willamette
river is in great danger of being
divided at a point about one mile
east of Corvallis. Should this hap
pen, it will be a serious blow to
commerce of this valley. Naviga
tion will be closed above Albany.
Eugene, Harrisburg and all points
on the upper river will be com pel led
to depend wholly upon the South
ern Pacific company for transpor
tation of their products. Corval
lis will be located on the banks ot
a slough the water of which will
each summer become stagnated,
and impregnate the air with germs
of disease. The enterprising citi
zens of Eugene have recently had
a light draught steamer built to
ply between that city and Corval
lis in connection 'with the Oregon
Pacific. Since she draws but four
teen inches of water, her owners
are hopeful that she can be success
fully operated during the summer.
But, unless some action is taken
soon to confine the channel within
its banks, this commendable enter
prise must be abandoned.
This question is of more vital
importance to the people of this
section than any legislation now
before congress. Petitions have
been circulated at Corvallis, Eu
gene and up-river points, setting
forth the facts ,nd praying con
gress to appropriate sufficient
money with which to complete the
necessary improvements. A few
years ago a small appropriation
was received for this purpose, but
only a portion of it was expended
here, some five thousand dollars be
ing used in fitting up a snag boat
for use on the Columbia and Cow
litz rivers. The funds used here
were spent to little or no ; dvan
tage. A revetment, constructed
of piles driven in the ground at in
tervals of several feet with a stay
brace at the top, constituted the
structure. The engineers in charge
were of the opinion that the device
would be of sufficient stransth to
resist the force of the curroit, and
at the same time catch andl retain
the tree3 and other drift thavcame
down the river and found lodgment
in tne fields near by. Had this
plan proven successful, the xevet-

DEMOCRACY DEFENDED.
Hon. G. A. " Waggoner, in an ad
dress before the Benton county repub
lican club pronounced the following
eulogy on the old opposition party:
As a student of American history
and an observer of the forces brought
to bear upon it, I am compelled to
pay this tribute to the democratic
party: !
It is the nucleus around which has
clustered and in whose arms has been
shot to death with rifle ball and ballot
box, the surviving political monstrosi
ties of despotic ages. It has, with un
erring instinct and never-failing cour
age discovered and marshalled for de
feat in the political arena and on the
field of battle the unwholesome, vi
cious and inhuman tendencies of man
kind. It beat the drum and called to
execution the institution of human
slavery. Its bugle sounded and from
haunts of sectional pride and false
ambition came that- dreaded foe of
American union, and state sovereignty
fell to rise no more. It gathered the
ideas antagonistic to sound finance, ex
hibited them in the state banking sys
tem, and saw them destroyed by an
oppressed and outraged people.
Whenever'an idea foreign to our in
stitutions is born it is embraced, briefly
enjoyed, and led to the scaffold by the
democaatic party.
I am not speaking of the motives of
men. I am not he who shall judge
another man's servant. I am not con
sidering the objects? and aims of polit
ical parties. I am dealing alone with
the forces which seem to be working
out the destiny of the American peo
ple, and such forces are surely admir
able when they act well the part for
which they were designed. All bless
ings take their value from cost. It
is a law of God, as well as of man, that
we shall not have something for noth
ing and the greatest blessings we en
joy have cost us the greatest price.
The right of man to labor for him
self hab cost millions of money and
oceans of precious blood. To estab
lish sound commercial and monetary
systems has kept the world in agita
tion for ages, and for the privilege ofl
kneeling to God when, where and how
conscience dictates we have been com
pelled to stain the earth with blood
since the creation of man.
Those whom we call heroes in thev
world's conflicts might have secured
the blessings we enjoy at less fearful
cost, had the democratic party been
less determined or powerful We are
accustomed to speak of this party as
belonging . to the United States and
having its birth at the time of our
constitution, but it cannot be thus
limited in time or conditioned in
space. It is much older than our gov
back than f
ithers. I

always b known by its negative or ob
jective policy and its hand has been
raised against the progress and pros-
perity of man from the time of Adam
to the days of Grover Cleveland. It
led captive and enslaved a people who
enjoyed the greatest political and re
ligious liberty of any on the face of
the earth in the reign of Pharaoh and
has denied a people struggling for
freedom the right to establish a repub
lican form of government in the days
of Clevleand. It opposes step by
step the progress of philosophy, science
and religion. When mankind was first,
emerging from darkness it founded no
school of learning, but denied the cir
culation of blood in the human body,
the spherical form of the earth and
the axillary and rotary motion of the
heavenly bodies. It is difficult to ad
mire and impossible to love that which
always opposes the right. With finite
wisdom and human sympathies we
cannot lsut censure what seems to have
been the cause of delay or defeat in bo
many noble efforts. We look around
os to-day in our own land and cannot
but : blame democracy for standing
again as the foe of success and happi
ness. W hesitate before we can for
give the hand which has sown the
seeds of discord among the most pros
perous and happy people of. all the
earth and which has brought care and
verty to so many happy homes.
It is impossible to blind our eyes to
fact that the grand march of Amer-
progress has once more oeen
ht to a standstill by its hereditary
ents of ancient history must coo-
,ie enemy to human progress on
hard fought fields; and Bib
les rejoice when', they call to

of Eden, and whispered treason

ings are inherent in human -nature and
cannot be avoided.
If we judge only of this life we may
look over the whole history of this
party, from its sin-fraught teaching to
the first pair under the fair heavens of
the- east, to its devastating policy in this
the land of ttje west, and find nothing
to admire, nothing to love, nothing
which we dare perpetuate. It is only
by casting oui eyes beyond this vale of
tears, that we can see the value of so
much suffering and sorrow and compre
hend the great plan of redemption. Gaz
ing thus we may see the party of opposi
tion burdened with the anathemas of
all the ages, unbroken, confident and
unanimously representing the negative
side of the great plan of universal sal
vation. This inspiring view should give us
something of; the spirit of prophecy.
If not .our researches have certainly '
furnished us with data on which to
form a resonable 'prediction that we
may expect the same determined op
position in the future which we have
had in the past, and that whatever is
necessary for the people to meet and
conquer, will continue to be found
around the old opposition standard.
So let us look forward with hope, fully
believing that in the next political con
test that giant foe to our industrial and
commercial prosperity; that hydra
headed monster, free rade, will be
brought forward to its defeat and final
overthrow, when we can in truth and
in spirit, with one voice cry: "All hail
the democratic party !"
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, March 5th, 1894.
-Representative Grout, of Vt., in a
speech on the pension appropriation
bill, now before ihe house, presented
some statistics showing the pension
policy ot the present administration to
be against the veterans, in a manner
that could not be truthfully contra
dicted. He presented figures showing
the pensions aire granted only one-
fourth as fast by Commissioner Loch
ren as they t were by Commissioner
i :
thousands of fraudulent pensioners
and went a step further and said that
he had personal kndwledge of these
frauds. He was interrupted by Mr.
Funk, of III, who told him that if he
knew of a fraudulent pensioner and
failed to denounce him to tne au
thorities he was not a good citizen, to
which he, after blustering and talking
about fighting, made the childish reply
that he was not required to act as a
spy or an informer and that he
declined to do so. Now wasn't
that like a democrat?
It is certain that noftadministration
of the United States was ever so uni
versally condemned after only one
year of power as that of Mr. Cleve
land is. Here are a few . of the con
demnations of it by members of con
gress:
Senator Teller: "The most Bigna)
failure of any administration we have
ever had."
Senator Peffer: "Has been a series
of blunders that might have been
avoided."
Senator Wilson: "I do not think
the country will want a repetition of
such an administration. Thereisno
doubt whatever that we shall have a
rhnna" U
Senator Cullom: "Has been mos
unfortunate and characterized by
greater number of blunders than has
occurred under any other administra
tion," -.;
senator Dolph: "Has proven a
disastrous failure, having no parallel
in our history."
- Senator Power: "Mr. Cleveland's
free trade policy has made the cup of
the American working men full, of
misery." -Senator:
Proctor: "The esteem ..in
which the people hold Mr. Cleveland's
first year of administration is shown
by therxcent election Pennsyl
vania." ; ..r
Senator Higma: "For our pres
ent miseries w have to, thank the
democratic' party, whieb, it seems,
never so happy is when trying to' run
Senator Pugh. (democrat): "I con
demn Mr. Cleveland's financial , policy
in toto." ,
Senator Frye: "His Hawaiian pol
icy and his attempting to force the
Wilson bill through congress have
wrecked his party, and to this. extent
Mr. Cleveland is a public benefactor."
Senator Hale: "The only hope o!"
business men is the expected total
overthrow of the democratic party at
fall elections."
Senator Manderson: "A miserable
and lamentable failure."
Senator Piatt: "Incompetent and
bad."
The following representatives express
themselves as follows in regard to the
administration:
Bowers: "May the good Lord save
us frdm three more such years."
Bingham: "He has lost the good
esteem of the people by his pique and
bitterness as well as by his attempts to
control the legislative branch of the
government contrary to the constitu
tion." Payne: "The only good thing
accomplished is the demoraliza
tion of the party which , placed it in
power."
Walker: The record of the year is
little short of disgraceful."
Hepburn: "No administration has
ever gone out of- power so little regret
ted as will that of Mr. Cleveland."
Storrs: 'Ts a great failure."
Marsh: "Has been a hell upon
earth."
Democratic . senators are still fight
ing among themselves over the tHriff
bill, which was sent back to the fi
nance committee by the caucus fo pre
vision, and until some sort of an
agreement is reached the outcome will
be very much in doubt.
, Republicans of Benton county
will be pleased with the selection
of Judge O. N. Denny for first
place on their state,; ticket. His
name has become a household
word. He is afiable, popular and
thoroughly capable. If nominated
he will be elected. If elected he
will reign with dignity and his ad
ministration will be a credit to the
tate.
Will that republican plurality in
Pennsylvania ever cease to Grow?
At last accounts it was over 190,
000. No wonder Prof. Wilson is
Isick.
Men who voted for the demo
ratio party and good times have
feot plenty of the democratic party
Mrs. J. II. Horsxtdee, 152 Pacific
Ave., Santa Cruz, Cal., writes:
" When a girl at school, in Beading,
Ohio, I had a severe attack of brain
fever." On my recovery, I found myself
perfectly bald, and, for a long time, I
feared I should be permanently so.
Friends urged me to use AVer's Hair
Vigor, and, on doing so, my hair
Began to Grow,
and I now have as fine a bead of hair as
one could wish for, being changed, how
ever, from blonde to dark brown."
" After a fit of sickness, my hair came
out in combfulls. I used.two bottlef
Ayer's Hair Vigor
and now my hair is over a- yard long
and very full and heavy. I have recom
mended this preparation to others with
like good effect." Mrs. Sidney Carr,
1460 Begina St., Harrisburg, Pa.
"I havo used Ayer's Hair Vigor for
several years and always obtained satis
factory results. I know it is the best
preparation for the hair that is made."

he would make a good governor,

MYSTERIES!
The Nervous System the Seat,
of Life and Mind. Recent
Wonderful Discoveries.
No mystery has ever compared with that of
human life. It has been the leading subject
of professional research and study iu all ages.
But notwithstanding this fact it is not gener
ally Known
that the sent
of life is loca
ted in the u ri
per part of t hg
spinal cord,
near the buse
of the brain,
and so sensi
tive is this
portion of the
nervous sys
tem that even
the prick ot a
needle will
cause Instant
death.
Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
ali the organs of the body are under the con
trol of the nerve centers, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the Injured point, because the nerve force is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it will be understood how
the derangement of the nerve centers will
cause the derangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to
the Imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base of the brain, not from a derange
ment primarily originating in the organ it
self. The great mistake of physicians In
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.
Dr. Franklin Miles, the celebrated spe
clalist.has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with it, chief among
them being the facts contained in the alxve
statement, and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wrong. AU headache, dizzi
ness, dullness, confusion, pressure, blues,
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, St.
Vitus dance, etc., are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success of
Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is due to the
fact that it is based on the foregoing principle.
Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is sold by
all druggists on a positive guarantee, or tent
direct by Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart,,
inii., on receipt of price, $1 per bottle, six
bottles for $3, express prepaid. It contains
neither opiates nor dangerous drugs.
