VoorIiees claim 4 that the son bill will produce a surpl1 $30,000,000. This is sufUtient reason for all democrats who be lieve in '-tariff for revenue only, to oppose it vigorously. The Lawrence Eagle (demo cratic) has come to this conclu sion: ''The democratic party to day is in an exceedingly bad po sition before the country, and it is only ridiculous to try to disguise it." Senator Allison, of Iowa, in making his able defense of Ameri can industries clearly "pointed out 'that there was not a paragraph in the Wilson bill that was not framed to promote British indus tries.' The New York Press believes that an expert examination, if held at the present time, would show that the democratic party consisted chiefly of Daniel W. Voorhees and a large and increas ing vacuum. ihe suggestion is made by the St. Louis Globe-Democrat that Cleveland's veto message against "the Bland-bill 'and Hill's speech against the Wilson bill contained all the repuhlican argument that is necessary to'carry the lull elec tions. The Oregonian knows of no reason why tramps bound from California to Washington should come 700 miles out of their way except to exchange greetings with kindred spirits and suggests that penno3rer was undoubtedly the magnet that drew them to Port land, and if the governor had the connections he expresses, he would recognize their attestation of de Totion by taking command of , the army and marching away with it. The people have now taken to speaking at the polls New York Herald. They . are going to con tinueit. Oregoiiiansspeak on the fourth of June, and like the bal ance of the country will under take to show Grover Cleveland and his cuckoos that it is uphill work running their party with ' soup houses and assi-rnees. Ix the selection ot V. II. Leeds for state printer, no mistake v;is made. It was exceedingly proper that 1 he convention should recog nize the demands of southern Ore gon for a representation on t lie ticket and the people of that sec tion are to be congratulated on putting forward a candidate so thoroughly qualified to fill the position. In the nomination of C. H. Lee for joint senator the democrats have probably put up their strong est candidate. Charley is popular and might poll a large vote if his name appeared on the county, in stead of the legislative ticket. Upon the result of the June elec tion depends whether J. N. Dot ph. will be succeeded by a republican or a populist. If the voters of Benton and Lincoln counties want Oregon to be (dis)graced in the United States senate by Peniioyer they will vote for Lee. If, on the other hand they wish the slate to be ab'y represented, as she has been in the past they will vote for Toibert Carter. The Times denies reports in circulation that there is trouble in the democratic ranks about the nominations, and says a'l is har monious in town. Oh! yes, the Times is not aware that certain candidates were nominated with the intention of defeating them so they would never again lift their voices against any of th" most high and tlial certain factions would bt squelched. Its editor has. too, that acquaintance with democratic methods in this count' to understand that for the last fifteen years i o democratic con- utTCm tins IIQ1T1I""''" ke t ked un- b be for J to will ition of n'.st ined the him ratio b the reg tnge go jent pre- in nds. ace by ICif, it fent- ent ear ucn tes of who ex of the uiums, ine uiare oi trumpet;, blaze of electric lights, the brav of street minstrelsy, who travel by cars at others' expense, Jive off the country as they go, and are charmed with the general stir and notoriety of the bummer move ment. It is the man, however, who lets migratory 'armies" alone an 1 settles down to work on his own account, who will have tester in pouch when all these shall lack! The Astoria convention made some good nominations. Their choice for governor, W. R. Gall oway, is highly esteemed by resi dents qf Yamhill county, where he has lived for a number of years. Since he is not infected by crazes of the day his election to the office of governor would be far preferable to that of Pierce. The platform , adopted savors of populism, and bids for votes by appealing to every form of dissat isfaction, whether real or imagi nary. It does not demand 'a tariff for revenue only" and does not denounce protection as uncon stitutional as the Chicago platform did two years ago. It will be a vote catcher, particularly among the populists, because it endorses the initiative and referendum and de clares for the income tax and silver monometalism. Through out, it is flavored with diatribes against republicans, as democratic j platforms usually are. However popular all these fads may be it will not have the effect of divert ing the attention ot thinking voters from the main issue, that of helping to kill the Wilson biil by rolling up a rousipg republican majority and thus show the lot of ex -confederates who framed the vile measure, that in Oregon, its passage is heartily disapprov proved of. BENEFITED BY HARD TIMES. From all over the land may be heard the cry of hard times. Nearly every man, woman and child, no matter what their finan cial condition may be, have been seriously affected. The la' orers have been without labor; matm factunes have been closed. Capi talists have been without returns on tneir in vestments, anu mer chants, in . order to dispose of their wares, have been compelled to do business many times at a loss. Taxes have been high and their payment has caused many sacrifi ces. Yet, to a certain class of peo ple this condition of things has been a benefit, because they have been in a position to take advan tage of circumstances. Rents have been cheaper; clothing and grocer ies could be purchased at cost and the price of labor has been ex ceedingly low. These people draw their monthly or quarterly allow ance with great regularity from the public coffers. These are kept fill ed by taxation of which only a small share is paid by those who receive the benefit. Yet no class of people in the state tiler more examples of penuriousness and selfishness than those who receive s laries from the public exchequer. They really cry hard times oftener and louder than those who are really sufferers, from the present financial distress. During such times as these it is by no means commendable in them to quibble over every contribution they are requested to make for the benefit of charity or the public good. Sev eral such individuals live in Cor vallis and no doubt, many of their ilk are found in every community. Of all our citizen, those who have a hand on the public purse siring, should bo the most liberal. It matters not whether their salaries are paid by. Uie county, state or national government, the same rule should apply in each instance. By the very na ure of things they can prey upon their febows who are .less fortunate. Since their ex penses are much less during these panicy times, it would behoove them to be less penurious in their dealings and more liberal toward charitable objects. Thus they would be a benefit to the commu nity in which they live and to the state at large, instead of being leeches upon the public as they now are. , Unless such persons soon come to a realizing sense of their duly in this regard their sal aries should be cut down to a lev 1 with present conditions, of which they are alone receiving the bene fit." THE INDUSTRIAL ARMY. If the men composing the in dustrial army would exert a hun dredth part of the energy in seek ing employment that they display in getting to Washington, few of them would be idle: or had they improved their opportunities in the past, and saved their earnings, they could have lived for a l;me without wages. Two years ago they were toid that they were be ing cheated of the benefits of pro tection; that the t-riff legislation had been solely in the interest of robber barons. "The change" was voted for, and its results have not been more far reaching than was predicted. by the republican press at the time. The cry of free trade and the platform on which the democratic party acheived success inlS'J2, brought consternation and timidity among all employers, es pecially those whose interests ,whould be most effected by a re rision o1 the tariff. Men were not content although at that time they were receiving the highest remun eration for their services of any wage earners in the known world. As factories began to close, and employment could no longer be had at the old wages, they lefused to work at reduced prices, and at once began denouncing the govern ment lor the existance of a condi tion resulting from their own lack of judgment. Now they march to Washington in hopes of terrorizing the admin istration into furnishing them em ployment. Perhaps they "may bo excusable in a measure for their action, since their present condi tion is largely the result of decep . tion practiced upon them by dem ocratic party leaders during the last campaign. Few soldiers in this army, however, are entitled to much consideration. They appear to be looking for work and all the time hoping that it will not be found. It is their avowed inten tion to enlist the sympathies of the communities , through which they pass, and thus secure free food and shel.er while enjoving a pleas ure trip through the country at the expense.of the railroad companies. A branch of the army arrived in Portland last week. At first food was doled out to them free. Now they are in charge of the city board of charities, who gave them work on the streets at six hours a day for two meals and a bed. Similar treatment should be accorded them throughout the country. POLITICAL OUTLOOK. ? The republicans of Benton' coun ty have never been more united or hopeful than now. Their pred.c tions as to the effect of a democrat ic administration upon the business of the county is being fulfilled "to letter. By past experience, they judged that a threatened deluge in our markets of the cheap commo dities of the world would frighten ! capital; contract all kinds of busi ness enterprises; stop our manu i factories; throw millions of labor ! ers out of employment, andj bring on just such a deplorable state ol ! affairs as exists today. Republi ! cans need no word of encourage ment. Il ever one doubted I he wis : doin of the American protective laws, that doubt has gone forever. Where reason has failed, experi ence always completes the work. ' It is to those who have been mis- led by democratic politicians that j we appeal. Those who have lis ! tened and yielded to eloquent, en treaty against their better judg ' ment. To men who, having noth ing to sell but their labor, have been persuaded it would yi ld a ! better return when brought into competition with the poorly fed' Chinee, and the naked savagd of India. These men are invited to 'look at the altitude of their lead- . ers today. ! Is it possible the laborer can think he is being treated fairly? r Are the men 'who led you to de nounce Ihe -robber tariff" endea- voring tu lift that which they de clared was a terrible burden vfrotn l.vour shoulders? If they ' were ! honest in I heir belief, are they not criminal in neglect to apply the . remedy they prescribed? Does not ; the Wilson bill, instead of carry ing out pledges made the people, ' exhibit, but a miserable attempt to l retain the "robber tariff" on pro- duct ions of those states most ini ; port ant to democratic success, while those of lesser note or those :' hopelessly republ can, alone are : accorded the blessings of tree ; trade? Did not the democratic ; representation from California re i fuse consent to the bill unless the , protection, which they secured : their election by denouncing, was j left upon the products of their , state? Is there any prospect todays of these men carryingout their prom i es? Does any democrat believe in the light of the present attitude of congress that the Chicago platform was anything but a shameless attempt to deceive the people? Is it possible you can any longer have faith in men who have cruellv deceived you? But a voice from Washington is heard in de fense, saying, "Give us a little l mger time, we will yet give you the good times promised, there is no need of any hurry about it; we are still thinking and debating; we want time to prepare for the era of prosperity which we shall usher in." Our argument is: Look at the condition of the country today; for more than a year our foundries have been closed; millions of labor ers have nothing to do; thousands are marching on foot toward our capitol to demand employment that they may live; public or pri vate property is no longer respect ed while men are marching through states as destitute of the means of livelihood as those from which they came; state as well as national authority is powerless to stay the advance of this stormy army, for they are driven to the last resource and know no law but self preservation. The democratic party promised to feed them, to give them and their children bread; must they, when demanding ful fillment of these promises, receive nothing but lead? ; The sequel lies in the future and God alone can tell the result. But whatever may come of the mis placed confidence of our nation the leaders of the democratic party must be held responsible, .f pro tection is the best policy they have brought the laborer 'and his chil dren to the point of starvation by denouncing jr. If. free trade is what they anirmed they are allow ing these laborers to 6tarve while they refuse to inaugurate it. His lory furnishes no parallel of the perfidy of s"0 'many otherwise noble men. J. K- Weatherford whom the democrats nominated for con gress in this district will wake up on the 5th of June just : about 10,000 otes short. He is a man of integrity, popular and all that, but men who have the welfare of the country and their own indi vidual interests at heart, will vote against' him because he will favor the'passage of the infamous Wil son bill. We want a man to rep resent this district - of the great state of Oregon who will labor and vote in the interest of America" and Americans. Binger Hermann has done this and will continue to do so. Mr. - Weatherford, from the very nature of things can not. and thinking me will not expect him to. The people ; will elect him to stay at houe by , a j rousing majority.

He lias never liad a doubt that the counting of a quorum would eventually become one of the fixed rules of the house, no matter which nprty is in power. If he felt any surprise at all at the action of the democratic caucus in directing the com mittee on ruies to prepare a rule pro viding for the counting of members pre sent and not voting, in order to n.ake a quorum, it was not because the cau cus hud come around to his i.ieas. hut , c . , . because as manv as forty democrats , , , , . should have voted against the nroposi tion. While the republican of the house are thorough believers in the principle of counting a quorum, it is not yet certain that they will support the rule reported by the committee on rules, or that they will vote at all to heli the democrats get a quorum to adopt it. The principle reason for this uncertainty is that the caucus resolu tion also directed the committee to re port a rule to compel the attendance of absent members. It will depend upon how the democrats intend to accom plish the proposed reforms what posi tion the republicans will take. Another democratic senator has placed himself in the doubtful coluiim. Senator Smith, of New Jvrsey, in his speech on the tariff bill, which Senator Quay correctly called a "measure of mingled m;dice, compromise and sec tionalism," renewed the cold shivers which Senator XXill sent up and down the sp'nes of the free traders last week. It has been agreed th.it the debate on the bill as a whole shall end next Mon day. Then the contest over the indi vidual schedules will begin and the fighting will be forced by the republi cans from the first to the list. The democratic managers of the bill are in doubt as to the status of at least six democratic senators, not to mention the successor to the late Senator V.ince, of North Carolina, who died here Sat urday nigijt. Senators. Mill and Voorheesjrio long er speak when they pass each other. The cause is the remarkable raking over Hill gave Voorhees in his speech. They speak of each other to their per sonal friends in such endearing terms as "blatant demagogue" and "traitor," and "each refers sarcastically to the others "gill'" in considering himself a presidential possibility. Voorhees calls Ili'l a traitor because in deference to the almost unanimous sentiment of his stale he refused to support the tariff monstrosity. That refusal is the one act of Hill's since he became a member of the senate that was not tainted w th demagogism. He was sent to the sen ate to care for the interests of the state of New York, and for once he did it, although he had to oppose his own party to do it. Hill hits the bub's eye when he calls Voorhees a demagogue. He has never been, and never will be anything else. It any one doubts this, let him read the speech with which Voorhees opened the tariff debate. One democratic congressman has provided himself with shelter from the great political cyclone of next Novem ber, and many more of them would like to do the' same. The man referred to is Barnes Coinpton, who got into the house in '92, by the skin of his teeth, as the saying goes, from fifth Maryland district, and who was several days ago nominated by Mr. Cleveland to be col lector of the port of Baltimore. He knew he couldn't he re elected so he utilized his "pull" to grab a nice fat MOTHERS ! MOTHERS !!

It is not because of any special sympathy the people feel for Miss Pollard that they like the verdict, but because they believe it will result in retiring such a hipocrite as Breckin ridge has shown himself to tie from the seat in congress he has disgraced by the double life he led in their midst. If it does not, then the voters in his district must be a queer breed of men. TIn.'re was never a doubt of what ver dict would be after Breckinridge's own testimony was heard, an I it was not surpri.iinj that the jury did not tike an houi to decide, abhough it had taken i more than five weeks t h-ar the case.

SURROUNDED BY MYSTERY! A Great Mistake. A recent discovery is that headacha, dizziness, dullness, confusion of the mind, etc., are duo to derangement of tho nerve centers which supply tho brain with nerve for-.'; that Indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia, iviiid in stomach, etc., arise from the derange ment of tho nerve centers supplying these or jisins with nerve fluid or force. This Is likewise rue of many diseases of the heart and lungs. The nerve sysK'm is like a telegraph system, as will be seen by the accompanying cur. xno iitue white lines are tha nerves which convey the nerve f i ri:e from the nerve centers to every part of the hody. just as the el'jctriccurrentla conveyed along the telegraph wires to every station, l.irce or small. Ordinary physicians fail to rt;'.r;trd this fact; instead of treat inn t he nerve cen ters for theeauso of Ihe disorders m l-.ing therof rom they treat the part aifectod. Franklin Miles, SI. D., LL. B the hiirhly celebrated specialist and student of nervous diseases, and author of many noted t reatises on the latter subject, loti? since realized the truth of the firsts statement, and his Restorative Nervine is prup-ired on that principle. Its success in curing all diseases arising from deranire ment of tho nervous ' system is wonder ful, as the thousands of unsolicited testimo nials in possession of tho company manufac ture:; the remedy amply prove. Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine Is a reliable remedy for all nervous diseases, such a headache, nervous debility, prostration, sleepiessncrs, dizziness hysteria, sexual de bility, St. Vitus dance, epilepsy, etc. It is sold by all druggists on a positive guarantee, or .sent direct by the Dr. Miles Medical Co., Klkhart, Ind., on receipt of price, $1 per bot tle, six bottles for So, express prepaid.
