SENATORIAL CANDIDATES.
. The republicans In the nextjlegislature
will have the responsibility of choosing
a-United States senator. Senator Dolph
is a candidate for re-election. The other
candidates who have Seen mentioned are
W. P. Lord, Einger Hermann, Thomas
Tongue, C W. Fulton, D. P. Thompson,
Sol Hirsch and Joe Simon.
; There are many valid reasons why Mr.
Dolph should not be returned. The prin
cipal one is that he is opposed by a great
number of his own party, and it is more
than probable that a man can be selected
whose election will be ratified by practi
cally every republican in the state. Of the
other candidates, Judge Lord is prefera
ble. Hermann is an excellent represen
tative, and would make a good senator,
but he has gained a place as a river aud
harbor committeeman that it would be
Impossible for new man to occupy.
This position is the most important one
In the house, as far as Oregon is con
cerned, and Hermann, in the next con
gress, will probably be selected chairman.
It is much more difficult to become prom
inent and influential in the house, with
about 350 members, than it is in the sen
ate with only a fourth the membership of
the house. Fulton and Tongue are
both good men, but are rather young
for senators, and have neverbeen prom
inently before the people. The other
three mentioned are probably more ob
jectionable than Dolph.
Mr. Lord is inclose contact with the
people, and has theirj entire confidence.
He is a plain, unassuming man, without
arrogance or affectation. He Is' not iden
tified with any republican faction, but
stands well with the entire party. As a
popular candidate, he ranks far above all
others that have bsen mentioned.
Mr. Lord's ability and honesty have
nevar been questioned. The Gazbtte
was the first paper to mention Mr. Lord
as a possible candidate, and the only ob
jection that any journal has found with
his candidacy is the fact of his election
as governor. This criticism has been an
swered in these columns several times.
In case of Mr. Lord's election as senator,
Mr. Kincaid, secretary of state elect, will
fill the gubernatorial chair. That he Is
perfectly able to do so satisfactorily is
unquestionable.
Mr. Lord's services as supreme judge
have gained for him the respect and con
fidence of thejpeople of Oregon, without
regard to party. He is recognized as an
able jurist throughout the land. His
long experience as a propounder of the
law makes him peculiarly suitable as a
law maker. In this capacity he has
gained a prominence that will entitle
him to recognition and influence in the
senate.
Oa the tariff, financial, and other lead
ing political questions, Mr. Lord's views
are sensible and in accord with the ideas
of a majority of his party. JHe is an
earnest supporter of the Nicaraguan canal
proposition. A firm believer in the im
provement of our rivers and harbors, and
thoroughly familiar with our needs as a
state.
Mr. Lord ia not an active candidate.
He is pressing no claims for the position.
He has not even signified his consent to
be considered a candidate. The peculiar
situation, however, demands his selection,
and thejoffice is one that few men would
refuse, especially when the people call
upon them so unanimously for their ser
vices. We think we have a pretty fair-sized
national debt in thiscountry, but Canada
can beat us "hands down." Its debt is
300,000,000, which is aboutj five times
greater per capita of population than the
debt of the United States. Since 1878
th'e expenditures have grown three times
as rapidly as the population.
A kbw thing in the way of women's
clubs has recently been organized in a
Maine town. They call it the Snow
Plow club, and its members are to hold
teas, socials and fancy fairs during the
winter, with the object of raising funds
to keep the streets and sidewalks clear
of snow.
The democratic postmaster of Chicago
made his paper support the head of the
republican ticket in the recent state elec
tion. Now the old hunkers want him
removed ; but Mr. Hesing tells them he
agreed only to give his best services to
the city of Chicago when he took the
postoffice.
The Lowell Courier pertly puts it this
way : "The Cleveland administration
threw away reciprocity, and $ 60,000,000
of foreign trade, and took to borrowing
money to pay expenses with: Even
Cleveland himself can see that it was a
bad swap."
During the protective administration
of President Harrison the national debt
was decreased by I224.816.890. During
21 months of the free trade administra
tion of President Cleveland the national
debt has been increased by 100,000,000.

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
Through the able efforts of Congress
man Hermann an appropriation of $S,ooo
was secured last spring to be expended
in improvements on the Willamette at
this place. Now that the money is at
hand, the question of its judicious expert
diture confronts us. According to Major
Post, it i9 the intention to extend the old
revetment. This will afford no relief.
Nothing less than a solid wall of mason-t
. . . , . 1
ry will resist tne current's awtui force
The old revetment a structure built of
piles driven in the ground at intervals of
several feet, with a sway brace on the
side and a cap on top was thought to be
just the thing. The engineers who had
the matter in charge were of the opinion
that this device would be of sufficient
strength to resist the current, and would
also catch and retain logs and other drift
coming down the river and finding lodg
ment in the fields near by. Had the plan
proven a success, the works would have
been strengthened each year by the col
lected drift. The scheme, however,
failed to accomplish its purpose. One
hundred feet of piling was washed out
the first year. The balance is of no par
ticular benefit. Farms east of town have
been damaged to the extent of many
thousauds of dollars. Two channels
have been cut for a distance of several
hundred feet. Each year these are en
larged and deepened. Another freshet
like that of last winter, and Corvallis
may be left on the banks of a stagnant
slough.
This is an actual, pressing and material
danger, and not a mere fancied calamity.
We have 'seen $9,000 wasted in construct
ing the old revetment Now there is dan
ger that the $8,000, which Mr. Hermann
worked so hard to secure last spring, will
meet with the same fate. We are all in
terested in having the money judiciously
spent. We understand that an extension
of the old works will result in no practi
cal benefit. We have gazed on the scenes
of devastation caused by this overflow
too often. There is no use disguising
the fact that an extension of the old
revetment will be a shameful waste of the
people's money. The plan suggested by
the Gazettk last spring is the only feas
ible one. A wing-dam should be built
at the mouth of East river. This wonld
divert the bulk of the water from its
present course into the old channel. The
bed of this waterway is only seven feet
above low water mark. Its course is
practically straight. In the distance of
80 rods across the peninsula from the
lower end of Alexander island to where
the cut-off would empty into the main
river, the fall i3 ten feet. Once diverted
into this channel, which would have
nearly a one per cent fall, the current
would soon cut the bed down to low
water mark. It is not to be supposed
that this project would keep the country
east of town from being overflowed.
This is not the intention. The damage
from these annual freshets is not attri
buted to the water's height, but to the
force of the current. If the course of
the current is diverted, the high water is
relieved of its damaging effects. If the
engineers will only recommend this plan
as the most practical one we may expect
some relief. An estimate of the cost of
completing this project should be made,
and if $3,ooo is insufficient for complet
ing the work an additional appropria
tion should be asked. Simply because
the present appropriation is inadequate
to complete the project, is no reason why
the money should be squandered in at
tempting to reconstruct the old revet
ment. REPLY TO "TAXPAYER."
"Taxpayer," in the last issue of the
Times, takes the GAZETTEjto task for its
stand on the water bond question. He
seems to mistake honest criticism for
abuse. It is not the Gazette's intention
to abuse the citizens of Corvallis ; but on
matters of local importance this paper
will continue to express opinions, and,
if in dolus: so it becomes necessary to
criticise the action of any citizen, or body
of citizens, it will not swerve from its
duty. On questions of this kind there
may be room for argument on both sides;
but only one side can possibly be the
right one. Unless the GAZETTE makes
a gross error in judgment, it will always
be found advocating the cause of right
and justice, even though such stand may
at times be unpopular, and antagonistic
to the views.of numerous well-to-do and
influential citizens. Men of affairs'have
more respect and confidence in their fel
lows who have honest opinions and ex
press them fearlessly, even though they
differ, than in those who have no opinions
or if they have, are afraid to express
them.
On this water bond question, there is
no middle ground. In the words of
Cleveland, "We are confronted with a
condition; not a theory." The point at
iasue is not the bonding of the city, nor
the purchase of the old water works.
These questions have been settled. If
they had not been, the stand of the Ga
zette, might be different. The question
now is, shall the city council go ahead
under the expressed will of the masses,
and fulfill its obligations, or be thwarted
in its purpose by a handful of men who
oppose the improvements, and thus bring
on a damage suit of large proportions ?
In reply to "Taxpayer's" first question
we will say, that he knows, or if he does
not he can easily learn, that every effort
was made to get the water plant for less
tSan $28,000. He, however, seems to be
at "outs" with his colleagues, for he
intimates that the plant was worth $20,
000, while the complaint avers that . the
works were "not worth a greater sum
than $10,000." Here is a little discrep
ancy of $10,000. Which statement is
correct ? The employment of a Portland
attorney is not the question at issue, and
ia a very small matter anyway. In regard
to fighting the case on a "technicality,"
we believe counsel for the city acted
wisely. The ground taken by the defen-
dant was, that tee income from the water
plant would be sufficient to pay operating
expenses and interest on the bonds,
besides creating a sinking fund for their
redemption. Thus the taxpayers would
not be burdened by the council's action,
and, therefore, they were not entitled to
interfere In the purchase. In this posi
tion, attorneys for the city were supported
by a long line of excellent authorities,
and had our supreme court held with
. . . . .,
ground to stand upon. "Taxpayer"
must understand that it is a very common
nrpttf to flpmnr to T1arliiyo. Also.
a demnrrer dea,s with questions of
law, and, for the purpose of the demur-
rer, all facts well pleaded are admitted.
The supreme court, in overruling the
demurrer interposed in this suit, decided
two questions. First. That, although a
sinking fund from water rates was pro
vided to pay the bonds, nevertheless, the
bonds were obligations of the city, which,
in the event of the failure of the sinking
fund, the city would be liable to pay, and
as taxpayers the plaintiffs had a sufficient
interest to be allowed to commence the
suit. Second. That the allegations in
the complaint, to the effect that the
water works were only worth $10,000,
and that the city had contracted to pur
chase them for $28,000, was a sufficient
allegation of fraud. In other words, it
was not necessary to say fraud, when the
facts described a fraud. This count
decided no questions of tact only as to
the sufficiency of the pleadine. The
value of the water plant is a question of
fact to be determined by evidence; not
by law.
By investigating the matter, "Tax
payer" will learn that after the case was
remanded back to the lower court for fur
ther consideration, the defendants em
ployed counsel, and were intending to go
ahead with the litigation. In fact, an
answer to plaintiff's complaint had been
prepared, but just before filing same,
attorneys for the city discovered that
plaintiffs had secured a dismissal of the
cause. Here is where a number of per
sons think they espy a large-sized cat in
the meal tub. Had the enjoiners pro
ceeded with the case, their honesty of
purpose might not haye been questioned;
but by leaving the matter.in its present
unsettled condition, after causing an
expenditure of $1,000 in needless litiga
tion, the plaintiffs either admit their de
feat, or else they subject themselves to
criticism for acting in bad faith.
"Taxpayer" certainly has a wrong con
ception of the word "bulldoze." The
Gazette is not iu the bulldozing busi
ness. Neitlier does It believe in carrying
on an "Indian" mode of warfare, by lying
in ambush behind a nom de plume, and
shooting poisoned arrows into an honest,
open foe. If to be fearless and free in
the advocation of local measures'-'be con
sidered "bulldozing," or a breach of
good faith, theGAZETTE pleads guilty to
both charges.
IT will be'serious news to girls' semi
naries that the pickle crop is short all
over the world, thisj year. A trade jour
nal announces, with something like dis
may, that Europe' is buying heavily in
thi3 country, which meanshigher prices
soon. The crop in .the Mississippi river
section was a failure. It is interesting as
showing the proportions'of the pickle
business that 260 car-loads of pickles in
brine were bought in Chicago recently
for shipment to the East and Europe.

CAI,I, OUT DISCUSSION.
Ed. Gazbtte: I think yon struck the
right note in your issue of December 7th, ou
the road question, and would like to see
agitation of the matter until we get better
roads. Who can estimate the benefits to
this valley were a good atone or other road
built on each side the river. If one-half
the money or land the government has given
to subsidize railroads to make millionaires,
were expended on roads the whole people
would be benefited by it. Keep the ball
rolling and call out discussion until some
good results are gained. Yours,

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell, and completely derange the whole
system when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be
used except on prescriptions from reputable
physicians, as the damage they will do is
ten fold the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufac

JOHN, BOYD THiCHEE A WITNESS.
John Bovd Thacher is laconio and decisive
in his statements. During the lively cam
paign jast closed in New York, this
marked him especially as chairman of the
democratic state committee. It was equally
true of him as. chairman of the executive
committee on awaids at the world's fair.
This is the positive and . sententious way in
which he verifies in an official letter, the
honors won by Dr. Price's baking powder;
"I herewith enclose you aa official copy of
your award, which in due time will be in
scribed in the diploma and forwarded."
Thus the question respecting the award,
raised by an envious New York rival, is
settled beyond cavil. This same rival by
the way is widely advertising an award for
itself. The official reeords prove this claim
wholly false as they show the New York
preteuder was not so much as air exhibitor
at the world's fair.

Nature, with a lavish hand, has endowed
the human body with no less than 'steen
million of spots to whioh an ache or paiu
can be attached. When each one of these
spots, both inside and out, is filled with a
hard, platinum-tipped pain; when your
head aches so that you are conscious of all
the ruffles and scallops 00 your brain just
as you see them in the pictures in your
physiology; when your heart thumps and
your stomach wohbles and you have the
feeling that semething is wallowing
through your inside works; when your
sturnum feels stove-in and there is an un
easiness under your shoulder blades tu
though your wings were beginning to
sprout; when you are ana moment alive to
the finger tips with thinking of the things
yon must get np and do and the next
completely exhausted by even the thought
of doing them: when your back-bone
has the sensation of being - twisted
by a monkey-wrench: ' when you are
so dizzy that yon can t see, . and
your ears ring and your eyes water
and your nose is in such a state
tnat it is presumption to lay aside your
handkerchief for one short minute; when
you cough and sneeze and groan in tnrn
