OREGON'S FISH-WIFE.
For narrowness of mind, for selfishness
of principle; and for ungenerous treat
ment of those who differ from him in
opinion, H. W. Scott, editor of the Ore
gonian, ias no peer in the journalistic
field. For his political opponents he has
no milder term than "cranks." To those
who have ideas conflicting with his, on
other matters, he devotes a portion of his
vituperative vocabulary, never ascribing
to them sincerity of purpose, or right
eousness of motive. As a writer, he is
terse and clear. He is a reasoner of
much cunning and sophistry. A careful
perusal of his longer editorials, however,
reveal9 a pitiful plentitudc of misstate
ments, and a generous use of epithets.
He is a persistent scolder, and finds little
merit in any institution, or any proposi
tion, the success of which does not bene
fit Portland and indirectly the Oregonian.
We find in that paper of the 15th such
discriptions as "professor of humbug,"
"officiousne3S," "charlatanry," and a
number of similar terms, mostly applied
to President Chapman, of the state uni
versity. This institution is located at
Eugene. Eugene is in Lane county, and
Lane county has a solid anti-Dolph dele
gation in the legislature. Dolph is a pet
of the Oregonian. Nothing could hurt
the self-esteem of its editor, nor arouse
hi revengeful passions as would the de
feat of Dolph. The Oregonian has
recently had a severe blow in the victory
of a certain book concern which drew
upon itself the ire of the Oregonian by
refusing to buy its columns during the
school book campaign just closed. The
defeat of Dolph would wrench away the
last vestige of its influence, or perhaps,
to speak more correctly, would at least
clearly expose its ntter lack of influence.
The people of the Willamette valley
owe nothing to the Oregonian. Every
thing that the country members have
obtained for their constituents has teen
wrested from'the legislature against the
influence, whatever it may have been, of
what was formerly the leading paper of
the northwest Its abuse of Mr. Chap
man is unmanly unfair and untrue. Its
bitter attacks on the various state institu
tions of learning are demagogic, un
American and prompted by selfishness.
The state does not "give away educa
tion" at these places. An education
must be obtained by work; by hard
study. The state, acting under the theory
that education of its citizens strengthens
the govermment, has provided various
institutions where young men and women
can obtain an education at small financial
cost Probably the free tuition should
be abolished entirely, or be open to all;
but the tuition at least should be small.
The Agricultural College is supported
entirely by the federal government, on
condition that the state provide suitable
buildings. As a business matter, if we
seek no broader grounds, the money ex
pended on the State Agricultural College
has been a paying investment. The Ore
gonian's policy is to withhold the state's
share of the burden and practically de
etroy the institution. As far as the Agri
cultural College is concerned, the Ore
gonian has been "wasting its sweetness."
The board some time ago decided to ask -for
no appropriation this year. j
It is hoped this intelligence will relieve j
the mind of "the sage of the tall tower," j
although it is expected in this vicinity
that the editorial shrew of 6th and Alder ;
streets, will demand that the board
mortgage the college farm, and turn the
money into the state to make up the
deficit caused by the delinquency of
.Multnomah county on its state tax.
In the chapel of the Agricultural Col
lege will be placed a tablet in memory
of the late president, that future genera
tions of students and visitors may be re
minded of the respect and honor in which
Professor Arnold was held by the alumni.
The action is indeed commendable. On
the tablets of their memory his name is
written. Engraven on their hearts in
letters deeper and more lasting than the
engraver's chisel can trace, are his - in
fluence and the precepts he so ably
taught. Time can never efface his mem
ory. In every precinct of the college
building, the graduate is reminded that
'Once, ah, once within these walls, one
whom memory oft recalls," their friend
and instructor taught and guided. The
monument he raised to himself by his
work, will outlast any that loving friends
may erect This tribute to his memory
is a fitting one indeed. For the alumni
to do more, would be impossible.
Mr. Daly, our joint representative,
says he will vote first, last and all the
tihie during the coming senatorial con
test for Dolph. As a last resort the only
other candidate he will favor will be Pen
noyer. This is pretty strong language.
Mr. Daly should not forget that we are
still living under a republican form of
government, a fundamental principle of
which is majority rule. Mr. Dolph may
not be the caucus nominee, in which
event Mr. Daly will, to say the least, be
placed in an awkward position.
ThB early reformation of Bob Ingersoll
is now predicted, because he once said:
"1 will never believe in hell until Mis
souri goes republican."
THE NEXT G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.
The next national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic will be held
at Louisville, Ky. It was in response to
the urgent and eloquent appeal of Henry
Watterson, editor of the Courier-Journal,
that at the last encampment, by a vote
almost unanimous, the "boys" decided
to pitch their tents next time in Louis
ville. That their welcome will be hearty,
that it will be full of genuine Kentucky
hospitality is not a subject of doubt or
discussion. But if it were, if there were
a lurking distrust, or suggestion of possi
ble lack of ardor in the reception of the
old veterans, the veteran editor, with all
the force and eloquence of which he is
capable, urges upon the people of his
city to embrace this splendid opportunity
for a national recognition of its patriot
ism and broad-mindedness in these words:
"The city of Louisville never before
had so great a chance to distinguish it
self. Even upon the lower level of mere
self-interest it is a chance offering many
returns for all its outlays. But upon the
higher plane, where state and local pride
walk hand in hand, fed by the memory
of past deeds, fired by the aspirations and
hopes of present manhood, it should, and
it will, fill the bosom of every true Ken
tuckian, of every true American living
in Kentucky, with an exhilerating sense
of his own personality, a cheery, breezy
sense of his own relation to the event, his
individual opportunity and duty; the op
portunity of advancing the cause of
national unification and fraternity, by
the interchange of gracious courtesy be
tween friends, who were once enemies,
and upon a battle line where all are com
rades now !"
The sentiment embodied in the closing
lines of the above quotation finds fuller
expression in the tribute paid the organi
zation ; and its membership in another
paragraph, in which not'alone does Mr.
Watterson strike the keynote of genuine
hospitality and comradeship, but refutes
a widespread and malicious calumny in
vented and circulated by and with a
malevolence, characteristic of sordid and
envious natures, the spirit manifested in
stigmatizing pensioners as paupers, and
assuming that applicants therefor are
prima facie frauds and hypocrites, un
worthy of credence and incapable of
honest dealing. Read this tribute to the
Grand Army of the Republic, and then
compare its sentiments with the policy
of the pension bureau, which assumes
each applicant for aid to be a swindler,
or the declaration of Grover Cleveland
that every neighborhood is infested with
fraudulent pensioners.
"The notion that the Grand Army of
the Repnlic is a mere partisan machine
and that its members embrace too large
a proportion of the tougher grades of the
military element is very wide of the mark.
The Grand Army of the Republic is com
posed of the bone and sinew of the North
and West. It is officered by brave and
honorable American soldiers. There is
nothing about its annual sessions that
does not appeal to men's tenderest, purest
sensibilities. We can as safely admit its
war-worn veteran to our homes as we
could our brothers returned after long
wanderings in foreign lands; somewhat
older than they were; somewhat battered,
it may be; but strong, sturdy representa
tives of the race wc are proud to claim
as our own; heroes; yeomeu; country
men all !" Post-Inte Hi veneer.
CHAMPIONED BY MITCHELL.
Without doubt the most stirring and
logical address yet delivered in support
of the Nicaraguan canal, was made last
week by Senator Mitchell, of Oregon.
During the time he occupied the atten
tion of the senate, many new and irrefuta
ble facts and arguments were advanced,
which will have much weight in weak
ening the opposition to the measure. Af
ter carefully reviewing each of the ebjec
tions raised, and answering at length Mr.
Mitchell passed to the importance of the
canal to Oregon, on which point he said:
"Of all sections of the country which
are to be immensely benefited by the
canal, those bordering on, or tributary to
the Pacific ocean will be benefited most
Oregon, California and Washington,
while prolific in a great variety of agri
cultural, mineral, timber, commercial
and other products, are notable wheat-
growing states. The Pacific coast has a
surplus of about 1,800,000 tons of wheat
and flour. The principal market of this
surplus is Liverpool. This necessitates
transportation by water around Cape
Horn, a distance from San Francisco of
about 14,000 miles. tBy the canal this
water route to Liverpool will be shortened
6996 miles, nearly one-half. This, it is
estimated, will reduce the transportation
charges from all Pacific ports at least $2
per ton, to say nothing of the time saved.
But infinitely greater will be the advan
tage to the wool growers of the Pacific
coast, who find their principal market
for their surplus products in Atlantic
coast ports, notably New York, Philadel
phia and Boston. As the case now stands,
the distance between Portland, Or., and
New York, by water routes, is 15,000
miles further than between Portland and
Liverpool, 8334 miles apart. The effect
this would inevitably have on the cost of
transportation of wool, lumber and fruit
and other products of the far western
states will be seen at a glance."
Senator Mitchell and congressmen
Hermann and Ellis are in Washington
looking after the interests of their constit
uents. Dolph is in Oregon trying to
log-roll himself back to the senate against
the wishes of the people. He finds,
however, that the logs are not coming
his way. A majority of them have al
ready been rolled for the Lord-Fulton-
Tongue-Hermann combination, one of
whom will probably succeed his aristo
cratic gold-bug highness.
IT cost Uncle Sam nearly a million
dollas. to supply weather for all hands
last year, but there was a considerable
part of this supply the nobody wanted.
PLAYING THE BABY ACT.
Since September the state has been
fairly alive with book agents sent here
by eastern publishing houses to demand
a change in school text books. These
agents caused to be placed in the hands
of county superintendents throughout
the state, samples of their publications.
Besides this, they have visited the sev
eral superintendents personally, and
urged upon them the advantages(?) of a
change from the system of books in use.
Every competitor was given a hearing.
The election came on regularly, accord
ing to law. Superintendents and mem
bers of the state board of examiners, in
the meantime, made a careful examina
tion of all publications entered in the
contest. School patrons demanded no
change. The cry of "hard times" and
"economy" went from every school dis
trict in the state. Those who had the
selection of books in hand, after careful
consideration of the situation, and also
of the relative merits of the books offered
for selection, concluded to make no
material change. Upon canvassing the
vote, the fact is disclosed that the Amer
ican Book Company was fairly, and by a
very large majority of the ballots cast,
entitled to the contract for furnishing the
books during the coming six years.
This result naturally causes some hard
feelings to exist in the bosoms of numer- !
ous agents of rival publishers, who have
been here for several months at consid-
erable expense to their respective firms, ;
and are now compelled to return home
and render an account of their steward- j
ship. In order to "square" himself with
his house, and offer some excuse for his ;
failure to secure business, one of these
agents has even gone so far as to write a
column article for publication' in last
Sunday's Oregonian. In this, he mani
fests an interest in our welfare that is in
deed remarkable. Just think of it! He
has been in'4Oregon nearly two months,
and he tells us, because his firm failed to
get any of their books adopted, that our
school superintendents and state board of
examiners are disloyal, dishonorable,
"and will be buried so deeply as to never
rise again," all because they voted in the
interest of the school patrons of the state
and against a change. He makes all
manner of accusations against the Amer
ican Book Company and says it should
be investigated by alllegislative commit
tee, which will cost the taxpayers sev
eral hundred dollars needless expense,
just because his company failed to get
their books adopted. This would-be dic
tator must be actuated only by selfish
motives. Some excuse must be made
for his failure in Oregon, or upon return
ing home he may be jobless. Business
men don't play the "baby act." The leg
islature of Oregon is made up of men;
not infants. That body has too much
sense to notice his diatribes against those
who opposed a change, and it is alto
gether improbable that any 'legislative
action will be taken in the matter. Ore
is not interested in this disappointed
agent, or his house, and will not be dic
tated to by him. He should speedily
return to Philadelphia.
Thosb persons and newspapers who
have been hired to say that no other man
can take the place of Senator Dolph and
meet with successful legislation, have lit
tle manhood surrounding their corrupt
souls. That Mr. Dolph is an able man
we do not dispute, but he who would
depreciate his fellowman by saving that
all are inferior to the one, is not possessed
of the honesty and patriotism which con
stitute the higher type of American citi
zenship. The electors of Oregon do not
want Dolph returned, and should the
members of the legislature so far forget
their constituents in making such an
arbitrary choice, the people have a right
to revolt against such mockery. Citizens
generally should petition their represen
tatives to the legislature, so that they
may act intelligently in making the
selection. Oregon Mist, (Rep.)
Thbrb can be no possible doubt of the
objection to the election of Mr. Dolph.
What is the necessity of overriding this
element? Wouldn't Gov. Lord make a
good senator and wouldn't his selection j
meetwith practically unanimous favor?
Is there any serions objection to Mr. j
Lovell? Both Mr. Tongue and Mr. Ful- j
ton 'have done more for the party than
Mr. Dolph. Is there any personal ob
jection to these men?

THEY WONT SUICIDE.
Benton county is represented in the legis
ture by two prominent and prosperous far
mers. "Farmer legislation" has often been
sneered at by a certain type of politicians,
and by such papers as the Oregonian.
These factors take it for granted that the
farmer is a susceptible creature, easily influ
enced bv wealth and overawed by officia.
power. Messrs Carter and Cooper can be
trusted to refute this calumny apou out most
uselul class of citizens.
They were selected by gfod majorities to
represent the people of Benton county, be
cause they were recognized a men of hon
esty, judgramt and broad-miudedness.
They were sent to represent Benton county,
but particularly to represent agricultural
interests. They were not sent to represent
their own individual ideas; but to carry out
the will of the people. Theirs is a Bacred
trust. Formerly, members have excused
certain actions on the grounds that such acts
were necessary to secure the passage of bills
of local interest. Beuton county's repre
sentatives need not be forced iuto any un
desirable alliances, for our people demaud
nothing in the way of legislation except the
passage of such acts as will lower state taxes.
Mr. Cooper has already justified the confi
dence reposed in him by voting against the
resolution to furnish each member of the
house with copies of newspapers.
Our citizens are interested in the election
of a UnitedjStates senator, probably more
profoundly so than they have been for years.
It would bo dillicult to learn the choice of
republicans of this couaty, but it is evident
from rnauy manifestations and utterances
that they do not desire the return of Mr.
Dolph. Dolph, it is true, has a-few active
friends in the county, especially in Corvallis,
most of whom have been recipients of favors
at his hands, but it would require but little
trouble to ascertain that the great body of
republican voters, particularly among the
farmers, do not desire the return of Mr.
Dolph. It is a curious jdra set up by the
friends of Mr. Dolph that he is the one and
only man among 50,000 Oregon republicans
tit and entitled to represent the state of
Oregon in the national senate. Any good
aud able man, who has the confidence of
republicans, will suit residents of this
couaty. There have been many objections
raised against Dolph. The point that should
influence Mr. Carter and Mr. Cooper, is that
the people they represent dou't want him
Several lobbyists have been imported to Sa
lem to specially influence the votes of the
Banton county members for Dolph. T. J.
Buford, R. A. Bausel and U. B. Crosno, all
Lincoln county politicians, who hava al
ready political plums and desire more, will
be there in force and will attempt to "work'
our members on the Yaquina bay appro
priation argument. these eentleinen are
really working for an appropriation from
the government, aud they truly and cor
rectlv believe that the election of Mr.
Dolph is necessary for the securing of the
said appropriations. But unfortunately,
these appropriations come in the form of
quarterly salaries from the U. S. govern
ment. It was riot because the people
wanted to give Tom Buford the Indian
agency again that Benton county went 200
republican in Jaae, nor to reward Dolph
for giving 1 Sense!! the coliectorship at the
nort of Yaquina. Mr. Crosno didn't
achieve success himself as a member of the
legislature two years " and would be a
poor guide for a new man to follow. Mr.
Daly will probably vote for Dolph, as he
hails from the same baliwick as these mem
bers of the third house. Iu the election of
senator, Mr. Daly will represent possibly
the desires of Lincoln county; certainly not
those of Beuton.
On the county division question two years
ago a great majority of the people of Ben
ton county were without a representative
in either house. Senator Crosno at that
time committed political suicide. He is
now attempting to form a political suicide
club and wishes to initiate Messrs. Carter
and Cooper into the mysteries. In this
session of the legislature Benton county
people demand their voice be' heard and
that they have a vote. It was for this purpose
that they electtd Mr. Carter and Mr.
Cooper. The Gazette predicts that the
course of both of these gentlemen will be
such as will be approved by the people of
the county.

HOW HAVE THE MIGHTY FALLEN!
For years past the) Oregonian has been
looked to not alone as the most reliable
source of information about current events,
but also as the standard-bearer of correct
and advanced ideas on educational, literary
and moral subjects. It has found a welcome
in every home in the state, and has enjoyed,
unrivaled, its well-earned popularity. Bir
of late a change has come over it and man
of its warmest friends have been shocked at
the lone of its editorials or have blushed at
its position on important subjects. Those
who carefully read its columns cannot fail
to notice this, and many are the comments
heard unfavorable to our cherished daily
paper. The most noticeable falling off is
found in the effort recently made by it to
impair the usefulness of, and weaken the
respect for, the State University and Agri
cultural College. No person but himself
could have made the people of Oregon
believe that Harvey Scott would have placed
himself in the attitude he has against either
of these institutions. No peron but himself
could have made his friends believe that he
would have resorted to such horrible logic to
sustain his position. Indeed, his attitude
toward these institutions of learning is
scarcely more surprising' than the argument
he uses to sustain it. The essence of his
articles on this subject is that the state should
not aid these schools because only a favored
few, living in the immediate vicinity, can
profit by them, while a largo majority live
too far away to walk to school and are una
ble to find sustenance outside the parental
roof. In other words, these schools are of
no value to the people of the state because
they are stationary jne at Ejgene, the
other at Corvallis.
Won't someone, living near the Oregonian
office, drop in'and whisper to its editor that
it has been found necessary to locate all
institutions of learning somewhere in order
to avoid loss of time in searching for them?
And please explain to him that free tuition
is a great help to any boy or girl seeking an
education even though the college should be
located beyond the shadow of their home.
Try and have the editor understand that the
frontieismen, like the buffalo, is passing
away, and thit their progeny must become
domesticated or perish. Refer him to the
records, which show that young people from
all parts of the state are attending both those
schools; and, finally, inform him that, no
matter what he may say against these justly
popular schools, he cannot seriously affect
their value to the state, but will only embalm
himself in the memory of tha most ignorant
classes.
