Nearly thirty-one years have elapsed since the Gazette stepped into the jour nalistic arena; and during a great part of that long period its editorial chair has been occupied, and its destinies presided ovar, by some of the ablest and most widely known men of our state, the best energies of whom have been drawn forth and exhausted, while acting in this capac ity during the most promising period of their lives. Cognizance of these facts in spires us to consume every energy to make the Gazette take a place in the journalistic field equal to, if not better, than any it has ever held in the past Our efforts are not to be spent in striving after an unattainable ideal, but rather, to make the paper the very best possible, within the limit of our means, experience and ability. And by dint of genuine toil and persistent effort we hope to accom plish much that shall reflect credit on the paper, and further the interests, both moral and political, of the community whose cause we represent. The future policy of the Gazette may be succinctly.3tated.as follows: In the matter of news, we hope to make our columns spicy and readable; with j special attention to matters of interest to the farming community. It shall be our aim to take a stand in alT.matters, that shall be compatible with strict morality, and no dissoluteness shall go unnoticed nor pardoned; and in con sequence, it shall be our first duty to turn a deaf ear to all immoral doctrine, no matter how thoroughly society may have established it or law protected it. -rffc-E? sfiSrt'shall be d".11 -ward remeoywg - ---- -j hr. -r u Tuguc, wuiia uiyisii ; t - While it shall be our endeavor, at all times, in matters political, to review the methods of parties rather than those of individuals, it needs to be fully recogniz ed that men are rightly to be held re sponsible for the consequences of their own acts. The Gazette will be independent; un predjudiced and impartial in dealing with all current and local issues, our con stant aim being to uphold and support all that affords the greatest good to the great est number. It will be strictly republi- can in the discussion of political issues; thoroughly American in its teachings, and intensely patriotic in its utterances. Republicans in York state are jubi lant over the prospects of party success at their earning state election. So san guine are they, that they have no con ception of the possibility of defeat. Many of the party leaders claim that the selec tion of a candidate for governor is equiv alent to an election, and even go so far as to say, "this year we can elect a yel low dog." What a campaign we would see if this were the year for a presiden tial choice ! The passage of the sugar trust bill is enough to fire the heart of every true American. He sees how the English manufacturer and the English workingman gloat over his poverty and the depressed condition of trade in the United States wrought by the present ad ministration. He understands that En glish gold bought the house, and British perfidy beguiled Cleveland and his cabi net into the passage of the bill that has stripped American industries of their prosperity and left the American wage earner without wages. How much it would please the toiling masses to vote for a "change" this fall! McKinley would be the man, and every state from Maine to Oregon, from the Canadian bor der to the Mason and Dixon line would vie with each other in rolling up a hand some majority for the Ohio' chieftain who, if he lives, will be our next president. Monday was a good day for republi cans in Maine, and a corresponding bad one for democrats. Governor Cleves was re-elected by a majority of over 27,000, the largest in the history of the party in that state. Out of 151 members in the house the democrats will have only twelve. This insures the re-election of Senator Fry. Thomas B. Reed has a plu rality of 10,000. H. Boutelle, Nelson Dingly and Seth L. Millikin are also re elected by majorities ranging from 6,000 to 9,000. Thus, the people of Maine have ia a most emphatic manner entered their protest against the deadly blight of a policy that would destroy the industrial system built np in this county by the pol icy of protection. During the past nine months ending August 31st, under a democratic adminis tration, the national debt has increased 6o,734,469. SCHOOL BOOKS. Ginn & Co., of Boston, school book publishers, have a man in their employ named Tappin, who is at present making a tour pf the valley towns in the interest of his company. It is a noticeable fact that, after his departure from a city, one of the local newspapers takes up the cud gel for him and advocates, in a most vig orous style, the necessity for a change in school books. This man Tappan was in Corvallis a week ago last Tuesday, since which date the Times has advocated a change. The principal reason urged for a change is, that the American Book Company, which is now furnishing the state with their publications, is a trust. In a sense, this is true. It is composed of some ten concerns; which is really a benefit to the state. The law provides that the pub lishers who furnish the books must estab lish and maintain depositories at conven ient points in each county for the distri bution of text books. Where a publish ing house furnishes but one book, the maintenance of a hundred or more sup ply depots would be very expensive, but with the American Book Company which furnishes all the books, this cost is reduc ed to a minimum, and the purchasers re ceive the benefit. Following upon two years of panic and business depression the people will not tolerate a change that will entail an ex penditure of two hundred and fifty thous and dollars. An approximate estimate of the cost of a change in the most impor tant text books will be $2.65 per pupil. With a school population of 100,000, it can be readily seen that the cost to the state will not be less than a quarter of a million dollars. Of this vast sum $5,000 must come from the pockets of persons residing in Benton county. At present four different grammars are in use, and a change of books in thi3 one branch is necessary to preserve uniform ity. The cost of the series now in use is $2.85, while the proposed series of Max well's will cost but 1.00 There may be text books which are somewhat superior to the ones now in use, but the funda mental principles, of arithmetic, for in stance, have not changed since the world began. Five times five are twenty-five just the same now, as then. The fault of today, if any there be, lies not so much ill the text book as in the teacher. If he can not apply the principles laid down in Fish's arithmetic just as readily as those in some other publication, he is in capable of filling a position in any school in the land. He is a mere machine, and unworthy the name of teacher. Aside from grammars, the parents want no change, but will insist that the board of education require the American Book Company to reduce present prices from 10 to 25 per cent The GAZETTE is informed that it is the company's inten tion to do this, in which event theie can be no possible reason offered for a change. Members of the legislature, chosen in Jujievwiere elected on pledges for reform. We knew that the representatives from and couuty Will Keep tliPir; wnrrl :j will favor economy on all lines. Appropriations for jute mills and kindred extravagances will not be tolerated by members from Benton, and if they follow the wishes of their constituents, they will insist upon the abolishment of every needless and expensive commission; chief of which is the railroad commission. It is as expensive as it is useless, and every taxpayer in this section of the state will demand a repeal of the bill creating it The Chicago Inter-Ocean recalls the first speech of Abraham Lincoln on the tariff; which was certainly short and to the point Mr. Lincoln said he did not pretend to be learned in political econo my, but he thought that he knew enough to know that "when an American paid $20 for steel to an England manufacturer, America had the steel and England had the &20. But when he paid 20 for steel to an American manufacturer, America had both the steel and the $20." Per haps this point will be made clear to the American people under the workings of the Gorman law. There are some things' for which re publicans are truly grateful to the popu- list party. Jones, of Neuada, has left the ranks of the G. O. P., and it is report ed that Teller and Wolcott, of Colorado are to follow suit Cameron, of Pennsyl vania, nurses a secret longing to be the populist presidential candidate in 1896. Republicans are not at all anxious that any of these gentlemen should stay upon the order of their going, but sincerely hope they will go at once. The erection of a handsome Baptist church during the past two months, and the recent purchase of the carriage fac tory by eastern capitalists are both evi dences that Corvallis is prospering. Few towns in the state can boast of a new church, and not one on the coast can point to a carriage factory without calling attention to Corvallis. Would it not be well, dairymen in Ben ton, county, to reflect upon the proposi tion of sending your product to market from a creamery iu large quantities, rather than sending off little butter balls from every farm house ? United action on the part of farmers would surely bring about such a result Perhaps some of our readers would like to know in what respect Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better than any other. Wo will tell you. When this remedy is taken as soon aa cold has been contracted, and before it has become settled in the system, it will counteract the effect of the cold and greatly lessen its severity, and is the only remedy that will do this. - It acts in perfect harmony with nature and aids nature in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions, liquefying the mucous and causing its expulsion from the air cells of the lungs and restoring the sys tem to a strong and healthy condition.

SO, due for board. The unwary proprietor had al lowed the debtor to remove his baggage to Wells. Fargo & Co's office, from whence it was to be shipped to Albany. Hearing of this, and believing he wa3 to be victimized, Landlord Schmidt speedily swore out a complaint and'ordered the goods attached. The papers were given to the high sheriff and just as Lenger was about to leave the office for the 0. P. train, that official duly at tached the effects of the would-be absconder and caused them to be retained in the ex press office. A few days later the fellow came to town, paid his bill and $6.25 in costs. By the experinece he is doubtless much wiser, and it is safe to say will never attempt to Aim flam a hotel keeper again.

Doctors Failed. Cared by cuncuiiA. My child's disease, which was the worst kind of Eczema, started on one cheek like a ringworm, , It spread and itched so the poor little fellow bad no peace night or day. Then it started on the other cheek and chin, until all were raw as a piece of beef steak, like a burn where you would rub off the skin, and bloody water oozed out con stantly. His sufferings were terrible. I tied his bands that he would not scratch, then he would rub his poor little cheeks on his shoulders to relieve the intense itching. I had as good a doctor as was in Philadelphia, but he failed to relieve him. I read of the Cuticuba Remedies, and at once purchased them. Strange to say, that very night he rested without scratching his face, and from that on he improved and toon wot entirely atrvt.
