REPUBLICAN CLUB MEETING.
All members of t!i2 Benton Couuly
Republican Club are requested to meet
at the county court room, Friday eve-ring,
May 3, 1895, at 8 o'clock, for the
purpose of electing delegates to a meet
ing of the State Republican Club of, Ore
gon, to be held at Portland, on May 2?,
1895, and forj the trausaclion of such
other business as may ba necessary.
W. E. Yates,
President.

OF THE GREATEST MOMENT.
.'The people of Corvallis and of Benton
county should begin at once to prepare
material for the showing that this county
-should make as to the commercial im
portance of the Yaquina harbor. Some
labor will be involved in preparing sta
tistics and such matter, and perhaps con
Isi lerable personal sacrifice of time on
the part of some of our leading citizens
will be necessary for the "proper compi
lation and presentation to the board cf
engineers of those facts with which it is
essential to impress them. The board
has called for a public meeting at New
port on May the nth. Other towns
throughout the valley are taking a deep
interest in this matter, and Corvallis
should put a committee at work at once.
" "This committee should be a represen
tative one. It should be composed of
-men who are familiar with the resources
-of Benton county and acquainted with her
needs; men who have a strong interest in
the welfare of the city andj county, and
who will enter into the work energeti
cally and lntelligently.We must rni
. press ourselves with the idea that a lapse
of interest upon the part of the people
of the Willamette valley at this time will
probably"Jresult in the withholding of
national aid for the improvement of our
natural commercial outlet. '
The people of California, particularly
residents of San Francisco, are realizing
what it is to be under the subjection of a
transportation monopoly. Their com
plaints are loud and bitter. Strenuous
efforts are now being made to build and
operate a rival road to the Southern Pa
icifii Without the Oregon Pacific the
people of the Willamette valley have no
competing lines to that same system from
whose clutches Californians are attempt
ing to escape. The Oregon .Pacfiic, not
withstanding its reverses and unfortunate
history, has saved to the citizens of this
valley thousands and thousands of dol
lars in lowereqtreignt rates, ine pros
perity of this road and its aid to the resi
dents of Western Oregon depends npon
the further improvement of the bar at
"Yaquina.
Farmers of this valley should have
direct communication with thecodont by
-way of Yaquina. Not only must a deep
ening of the water on the bar be secured,
"but steps must be taken to have the har
bor recognized and rated by the great
. maritine agencies of the world. Not
until then can Yaquina hope to be of
anything but local importance. So ship
can at present be chartered to ply between
Yaqmnaand foreign Jports. It will be
-useless to ask for a survey of the harbor
by Lloyd's or other agencies, until the
water is of sufficient depth to admit the
tonnage of the world. The entrance to
the harbor is "straight It. has Toot that
torturousness that is a drawback to so
many otherwise goodjharbors. ; It is only
necessary to deepen, not change, the
channel. So far the'expense per foot of
Added depth has been only $6o,ooo; a
Temarkably low rate. By deepening the
water only a few more feet Yaquina can
be rated as a first-class harbor. Iu order
to secure the fullest benefits of the money
already- expended it will be necessary to
continue the work.
A Cali, for a meeting of the Benton
County Republican Culb is issued this
week by President Yates, and a full
attendance is desired. The meeting is
called for the purpose of electing dele
gates to the state club which meets in
Portland, May 22nd. Farther than this,
there will probably be nothing of impor
tance for consideration. Some persons
of course have the idea that clubs are
organized for the purpose of formulatirg
a party policy. This is a mistake. Their
function is executive not legislative.
Conventions nominate candidates and
adopt platforms; not political clubf
Clubs stand on the party platform, and
exist solely for the furtherance of the
-party organization and the success of the
ticket The adoption of resolutions set
ting forth what is or should be the policy
of the party, therefore, should be left to
Ctate and national conventions, which
are purely representative bodies.
It needs to be definitely nnderstood
that the next senatorial fight will be be
tween the friends of Senator Mitchell
and the Dolphian cohorts. The ex-sena
tor has not succumbed gracefully to his
defeat. Mr. Dolph may as well under
stand now as ever that the sentiment that
defeated him last winter will be active
and energetic in the next legislature and
will have a Stronger representation. The
people of the Willamette valley and
Eastern Oregon and probably a majority
f those of Multnomah county desire the
lEturnof Mr. Mitchell. - ' .
The Corvallis Times .".editor' attempts
to belabor the Gazette, and takes as his
text an editorial that appeared in this
paper April nth. It is evident that he
did not carefully read the article, that so
offends him, or else failed to grasp its
meaning. The editor of the Gazette
certainly does not consider that a man's
politics is a criterion of his intelligence
or morality. A man's espousal of a par
ty is often prompted by the most com
mon businesslike inducements. He
sometimes changes his politics to accord,
with that of a newspaper when he enters
into its editorship.
The fact is, the editorial of this paper
was to accuse the editor of the Times of
the very foible that he attempts to impute
to the Gazutti?. The Times all along
has accused the "republican" state man
agement of responsibility for hard times.
It has accused them of extravagance ai d
waste. It sa3's: "The profligate weste
of public funds in state affairs is the chief
cause of high taxes," and blames the
republican party therewith. TUe conten
tion of the Gazsttu was that the couaty
taxes of Benton were piopoitionately
higher than the state tax, and if there
was any extravagance or waste the edi
tor of the Times will please remark that
the Gazette did not allege such extrav- j
agauce that the officials of the county i
were to blame, and it pointed out that ;
most of them are democrats. The poor
misconceiving Tisue3, whose democracy
is of such recent birth as to be suscepta
ble to the slightest breath of criticism,
failed to perceive that the Gazette was
refuting the Times' proposition, that par
ty politics was the guage of a man's
financial ability. It accuses us of at
tempting to set up the very thing we
were trying to knock down.
As to the errors of description in the
assessment rolls, it is but proper to state
that Judge Hufford eliminated some
$60,003 from them, mostly on account of
defective descriptions. It is evident that
those taxes could not be collected. It is
also evident that the taxes on property
properly described can be collected.
Again, it is evident that it was not a
"bull" that we have grabbed hold of, but
a sheep, and its ba's are pitiful.
CRIME AN EVIDENCE OF INSAN
ITY.
Rev. J C. Read was evidently tried by
a jury of his peers, and from the action
of one of his attorneys he was apparent
ly defended by one of his kind. The
average citizen, who prefers a law-abiding
life, se;s something irrational in every
crime committed. To his mind, every
inmate of the penitetiary is j illy . bal
anced mentally. Who is this man Read,
that he should be pampered, petted and
excused, while others, no more guilty
nor no less insane, must receive the pun
ishment for crimes either in the state
penetentiary or on the scrafford?
. There was nothing in Read's exploit
that savored of that insanity that excuses
its victim. It was prompted by one of
the most common and sordid of motives.
He comprehended perfectly well the
difference between right and wrong. It
was not asuddan, unreasoning, irresista
ble impulse, nor were the prospects for
the success of his scheme so remote as to
deter a sane man from its attempt. The
evidence showed that Read had been vis
iting the bank for days at the noon hour.
His plans were well laid. Had he but
five minutes more time, or had Mr.
South worth, from theiank opposite,
been a man of less close observation , or
slower of action, the preacher robber
would have escaped with his booty,
slipped np the back stairway, stepped
into the street a block away, with his dis
guise removed, one of the last men to be
suspected of the crime. There was noth
ing of insanity, as commonly under
stood, in all this.
Read is doubtless a weak man; one
who has found it easier to cultivate his
imagination, rather than his will powers.
He is one of those men who have adopt
ed the ministry as a profession, not from
his fitness for the calling, nor from his
love for his fellow man, but because he
saw in that field, as he thought, an easy
way of making a living. It was his de
spisable mental as well as physical idle
ness that made him a reader of the trashy
literature that his counsel attempted to
drag in as an evidence of his insanity.
His conduct in this respect shows a moral,
not a mental, weakness. His former
escapade that was exploited during the
trial -was only apparently purposeless.
It might have been the fear of the con
sequences of some moral lapse that in
duced him to feign suicide. He should
be accompanied to the asylum by the
twelve men who posed as a jury.
The acquital of Read was a most dam
nable outrage upon society. It insults
every citizen who believes in law and
order and the necessity of legal punish
ment for crime. It stamps the excution
of Guiteau and of Prendergastas foul mur
ders, for in their cases insanity was more
apparent than was evidenced by any ac
tion of Read's. If Read's acquittal was a
ju9t and righteous one, Guiteau and Pren
dergast were martyrs to the revengeful
feelings of a people.
IT is but right that every man accused
of crime should have the benefit of all
legal methods for showing his innocence.
Attorneys who defend the accused of
society are in duty bound to see that their
clients secure a fair and impartial trial,
and that the jury is presented with all
the evidence that tends to exculpate the
defendant But lawyers owe a duty to
society as well as to their clients, and
strenuous efforts on their part to defeat
the ends of justice are strongly repre
hensable. The successful determination
of Preacher Read's legal defenders to
acquit him of an acknowledged crime,
because he was an "interesting man"
and had influencial friends, was unpro
fessional and inexcusable.
DOCTOR, HEAL THYSELF.,
""-fkl5IATIVJ5 TO THS SALARIES OF
- OFFICIALS. .
Corvallis Gazrttk: Pending the "de
cision of the county couit upon tha. matter
of deputies for connty officers, will it be in
order to call attention to an additional
source of revenue ta such officers?
Senate bill No. 161, or the act relating to
county clerks, recorders and sheriffs pm
vi.lts for their anilines, not changing the
la of 1803, wliiofi i. fnr'Bdnton cmuty,
clerk, SI, 800; recorder, 2 000.
Section 5 of the new law also juovi.les:'
'That 110 one of such officers shall jle en
titled to receive any fues or other compen
sation than above provided, except for fur
nishing to private parties copies of the
records and (ilea in his olfiue for their bene
fit and convenience, iu which case he shall
be entitled to charge such private partic3
therefor at the rate of 10 cents per folio,
(100 word ) but shall not bo eutitled to
aiy tiling for authenticating such cop.
iei bsyonJ inc!u lin the number of words
ooaUiued in the certificate of authentica
tion of the number of folios."
Tft"i3 applies to both the clerk and recor
djr .nid their extra revenue is no small
matter. For instance, all appeals to the
supreme court must be prepared by the
clerk and hit doputiea, who are pail by the
couuty, but bis enumeration therefor be
come3 the clerk's additional source of rev.
enne. r'or instance the Oregon Pacific ap
peal netted the clerk $180, and additional
transcript has been ordered by the supreme
cmrt.
Sac. 2.341, Hill's Code, provides that
sheriff shall be paid at the rate of five dot
lara per week for boarding prisoners in the
couuty jail. Sec. 6 of the new law excepts
this source of revenue and gives it to the
sheriff. No one will contend but that the
sheriff makes a handsome profit upon his
five dollars per week boarders.
Sheriirs also are compensated by the
state by special appropriation-for convey
ing cmvisU and iusino persons. From
Benton county, the sheriff reo-'ives from $12
to 13 for each trip he makes as such an es
cort. Perhaps the only profit he makes on
thesc'trips is his $3 per day iu addition to
hi3 expenses. Communicated.
COUEGB NOTES.

She made a stirring appeal to tha young
women to organize themselves into such a

that wIiku leaving college, laden with book
lore and general inform itiou, it could not be
said of them that it had been at the exoense
of their spiritual educition.
O-i Friday morning we had a treat in the
shape of an eloquent and spirited address by
Bishop Stanford, a learned gentleman of
large experience both'iu clerical andscholas

List Monday the first battalion review
was held on the parade ground, Captain
Buxton commanding. The boys are rapidly
getting into shape and will be ready for the
inspector whauever he comes. The band

AT THS OPERA HOUSE.
Tuesday's Albany , Herald says; The
Payton Comedy Company began a week's
engagement at the opera housa last niht.
All who witnessed the opening performance
iu "A Noble Outcast," were delighted. Mr.
Sauter Payton is a thorough coinmedian aud
m the outcast exhibited soma clever aesiug.
M s-ies Lucy and Vina Payton were ch inn
ing in their sons aud graceful dances, and
most pleasing iu their respective roles.
They are supported by a compauy of. unus
ual cxcelleuce and have a superb orchestra
and brass band. Judging froinvthe cordial
manner iu which the company was received
by the audieuce last night, it is safe to say
they ill play 1 to a , good house all week.
Tonight the play wilt bj the sensational
comedy-drama, "'Kiseu from the Ashes of
the Dead."
Last Monday Joe Brigga was up'ori the
beach about a mile ,iiorth of Cape Foul
weather lighthouse and discovered the re
mains of what he calls a "sea cow." It was
about twenty five feet long, with a tongue
like a cuw, but had no eyes. There was
also a smaller animal of the same kind near
it that measured only about seven feet in
length. The animals were much of a mys
tery to Mr. Brigs and so far no one has fur
uithed a correct, and scientific name for
them. Teledo Leader.
J. E. Edwards, one of Benton's most
honored citizens, called at this office Toes
day and renewed his subscription. Mr. Ed
wards was one of the Gazette's first sub
scribers, aud has been a constaut reader of
the paper for over thirty years. He came
to Oregon from Ohio during the fifties, and
by industry and careful management has
been able to accumulate considerable prop
erty, and is considered by his neighbors to
be well to-do. If he lives until the 2nd of
May he will be 78 years of age. Notwith
standing his advanced age he is hale and
hearty, and can do as much hard work in a
day as would be expected of a man in the
prime of life. Mr. Edwards has always
baon a stalwart republican, bntlike a major
ity of intelligent bimetalists is fearful lest
adherence to the radical gold policy as advo
cated by the Oregonian will prove disastrous
to the country. Like the Gazette, Mr.
Edwards believes that remonetisation of
silver wonld have a very potent effect npon
our national prosperity. He thinks a fail
ure on the part of the republican party to
adopt a ringing silver plank in its next plat
form will prove disastrous to the party. By
showing to' the country that republicans are
true friends of silver in terms that can not
be misunderstood, the party of protection
and true American principles will be able to
sweep the country next year from north to
south, aud from east to west.
