MAY OREGON'S NAVAL NAMESAKE. Our state has been honored in "the selection of the name of the new battle ship "Oregon." It is one of the finest vessels in the United States navy. Bat tleships are named after the several states, and as there has been but a small number built, but few states have secured the honor of being represented in the navy It has been the -?2 oo 1 Jjjf . by floating namesakes. 05 : custom for tach of the several states to J Ml COLLEGE NOTES. 1S9.", REPUBLICAN CLUB MEETING. AU numbers of the Benton County Republican Club are requested to meet at the county court room, Friday evcu Sng, May 3, 185, at S o'clock, for the purpose of electing delegates to a mee' ing of the Slate Republican Club of Orc ., to be held at Portland, on May 2-, 1S95, and for the transaction of such o'.her business as may be necessary. W. E. Yatks, President. MORALITY IN CORVALLIS. Much is being- said now-a days con cerning the general morality of our citi . zens. The mayor, in his message, dealt directly with this subject, and he declares that Corvallis, morally, is in a rather bad condition. One citizen, whost commu nication appears elsewhere, thinks the mayor has bsen making mountains out of xnole lulls, and that Corvallis has only her natural share of evil society. It is probably true that our people are no more evil-minded nor evil-acting than those of other communities. The people xvho really belong to Corvallis are gener ally law-abiding and as pure, morally, as the average citizen of other towns. I he great fault seems to lie in the general friendliness shown by the city officers . towards the loose element of society, the shiftless vagabonds who have no abiding, who live by what they call their wits, and who are a tax on and a disgrace to any city. Corvallis has been and is filled with a variety of tin-horn gamblers, pimps aud fiends of various descriptions, who are not allowed to remain in any other town in the valley. They do not work, yet they manage to live fairly well, get ting their sustenance from the communi ty through some mysterious form of indi rect taxation. It is this class who do not . belong to Corvallis, and who should not be allowed in Corvallis, that lowers our moral tone and subjects us to the criti cisms that have been heaped upon us of late. The Gazette has frequently called the attention of the city officials to the neces sity of ridding Corvallis of this, element. It seems that the council has been greatly to blame for allowing this state of affiirs to continue. It is responsible for the ac tions of the police judgeand chief of police, and more of less directs their offi cial actions. Officer Mctagan has made several attempts towards ridding the city of these undesirable fellows, but his .efforts were so frowned upon by those in authority that they availed nothing. His 3ast effort was in the arrest of young Sid Moore for vagrancy, but the case failed to come to a head. Police Judge Porter dismissed the case before any testimony -was offered on. either side, and Moore .-still graces the streets of Corvallis. He is of age and will help to elect officers of the city at the coming tlection. There is quite a number of his ilk and they will all vote solidly. It behooves the reputable citizens to act unitedly and intellegently or else there is danger that the bums and the vags will control the election. ;The men of Corvallis are greatly to blame that these leeches find Corvallis a profitable field for their operations. They act as the -producers, the "suckers," for the tin-horns. Many citizens of good standing, socially and in business, con tribute to the support of these parasites, by indulging in a little gambling as a relaxation from the worries and cares of the day, or "just to spend an hour cr two-" These citizens do no pretend to be gamblers. They would feel highly indignant were the term applied to them. They probably do not gamble for the sake of the profits, and certainly they receive none. Neverthelere, they are gambling. Their influence on younger men ana boys is tar worse man mat 01 the professional gamblers. Tliey do not mean to be lawbreakers, yet they violate .the law. They despise the class that they associate with in gaming, yet they support the members of that class. They merit ' censure and disapprobation. Whenever these citizens or amateur gamblers cease to gamble, the profes sional gambler will find his occupation gone, and herein is room for moral sua sion. This is spring time. It is time for the .city to do its house cleaning. Let the .citizens get together, renovate the city household, get rid of the bugs and ver min, wash the stains from the city's reputation aud let us remember, first and foremost, wise old Franklin's motto, "a sew broom sweeps clean." tt i nrobablv nothine more than a liucidence, but it is remarked and re markable that the chief opposition to the income tax comes from those per sons having large incomes. Each and every one of them declare that the pro posed taxation is unconstitutional. Ail the support of, the scheme is confined to the comparatively few persons in the ' country who have to struggle along with incomes below the four-thousand-dollar limit. Published elsewhere is an important c jmmunication anent the proposed meet ing of the board of U. S. engineers at Yaquna bay. The letter speaks for itself and its author needs no introduction to the oublic. We commend the article to .--)Ur thoughtful readers. ; recognize the compliment by presenting the vessfl, bearing its name, with some suitable souvenir, usually in the form of a silver service. Oregon should not be behind her sister states, and from the interest already taken in the matter there is assurance that she will gracefully ac knowledge the honor by a suitable gift to the new battleship. The governor has appointed a committee of seven to devise means for the securing of the proposed memento, and when the "Oregon" steams into the Columbia, as it shortly will, she w'.ll be met by a delegation of prominent citizens and officials of the slate, who, with appropriate ceremonies, wi'.l give her proper warrant for btftiring her noble nam, and present her with a worthy christening gift. The committee will probably shortly appeal to the citizens of the state fcr funds. The individual amount expected w'.ll be but small, and not a burden to anyone. It should not be difficult for the committee to raise the needful money, and, as soon as the committee let the people know what is wanted, they will probably respond generously.

Washburn and Covell were to have gone on a fishing expedition last Saturday, but the threating weather dam pened their enthusiasm. They have de cided to wait until there-is less water and more fish. The foundation of Prof. Pernot's house is now laid, and building will soon.be commenced in earnest. Last Monday afternoon the cadets gave an excellent exhibition of battalion drill and inspection. Lieut Dentler, together with the officers, is entitled to much praise for their successful effortsin bring ing the several companies so nearly to perfection in so short a time. While much comment has been made on the fine manner in which the battalion has been handled, little has been said with regard to the band. They haven't been asleep for the last three months by any means. Under the skillful leadership of Mr. Mart Qpangler, the boys have attained a degree of proficiency most sur- 1 ftAS aj uiiaa ans generally are patriotic and fond of prising.- And they are not selfish with their state, and will, no doubt, "do them- ( their music, either. Every Monday after selves proud" in this matter.

They will pre- j without fail gathers on the campus in the bably appeal to the prominent men of shade of the old silver-maple, and though the st ite, especially the newspaper fra ternity, for their hearty co operation. The sentiment of the people of the United States would uphold the president in any decided position he might take agaist England in the Nicaraguan affair. The Nicaraguans have gained the sympa thy of the citizens of this country by their bold and determined attitude against the bullying demands of Great Britain and it strikes the average man that Nica ragua has the equity on her side. . Eng land demands that an indemnity of $75,- oco for the expulsion of Counsul Hatch. Nicaragua denies England's right to exact this, but proposed to settle the trouble by arbitration, the usal modern methods of settling disputes between nations. Had Nicaragua the power and influence of this government, England would have acquiesced in such proposal, but as is her wont, in dealing with weaker countries, England rides the high horse, sets her own price on the claimed affront, and is attempting the collection of the amount by force. Admiral Stephenson has taken possession of Corinto and proposes to raise the indemnity from the customs. He seems, however, that thegovernment at Colon has out-maneuvered the English by declaring Corinto a closed port, -thus practically preventing the; passage of goods through that port. If England's demand is just, she should have no hesi tancy in Submitting the "matter to arbi trators from other nations. Mr. Cleve land has already notified England that this county would not allow her to ac quire any territory in South American republics, nor overthrow existing govern ments, but the temper of the United States is such that, should the present administgttioii at Washington refuse to interfere in Nicaragua's behalf in case England declared war against heron any pretext, indignation against Mr. Cleve land and his cabinet would run riot. There is no danger of war should the United States demand "hands off" from England. Johnny Bull is not seeking a conflict with this country.. He would bluster and splutter, but finally take his medicine. this does not "go down" with the rest of the boys, marching in the broiling sun, still they should remember that much time of which no account is taken is spent in practice. Col. Anderson, of the 14th U. S. Infan try, will deliver an address in the O. A. C, assembly hall on Friday evening. May 10. In the afternoon of the same day he will inspect the battalion of cadels. The baccalaureate address will be delivered this year by Dr. Erwin, state superintendent of public " instructior He will also present ' the state teachers' diplomas. Station ."bulletin No. 37, on "Cattle Feeding," by Prof. French, is ready fcr distribution. J. W. Storms, class of '92, has been visiting the O. A. C. during ths week. The examinations for state diplomas will begin on May 1 6th. About forty members of the senior class intend tak ing these examinations. The senior class (Mechanical) have been testing their engine, and find that it has an indicated horse power of 9.8. This is a higher power than was expected and the boys are quite well satisfied with their work. .' On last Friday the O. A. C. cadet band went to Monroe where they were engaged to play for a church entertainment and drama. They did not get home" until away into Saturday morning, but they had a good time, and all say that Billy Skipton is the best 'driver in Oregon. A number of our young ladies accompan ied the party. Miss Bradshaw. professor of music in the Philomath college, visited our school "P1 last week. - Last Friday night Prof, and Mrr. French entertained the senior class at their home. " Every one reported an excellent time. This might go unsaid, however, as an affair at Prof. French's is alwavs a success. Mrs. Dentler is suffering from an attack of la grippe. Albert Leavens is under the doctor's care at Cauthorn hall. High and Low. The accident on the O. C. & E. Mon day calls attention to the unfortunate condition the road is now in. On account of the pending appeal, the property is outside the jurisdiction of the lower court, and the appellant court has no au thority to act in reference to the road's management. The purchasers are in doubt as to whether they will eventually obtain possession and title to the pre. perty. On account of the complicated condition of affairs it has become a mat ter in which the general public has a deep interest. The future'of the road as well as the territory through which it is operated depends largely upon the early settlement of the case. No time should be lost by the parties in interest in secur ing a hearing of the cause at the soonest possible date. A Terrible Visitant. Puin is always a terrib'o visitant and often domieles itself with one for life. This in fliction is preventable, in cases of rheuma tism, by a timely resort to Hostetter's Stom Rch Bitters, which checks the encroach ments of this obstinate and dangerois mal ady at the outset. The term "dangerous is used advisedly, for rheumatism is always liable to attack the vital organs and turmi nntb life. No testimony is more conclusive and concurrent than that of physicians who testify to the excellent effect of the Bitters in this disease. Persons incur a wetting in rainy or snowy weather, and who are ex posed to draughts, should use the Bitters as a preyentivo of ill effects. Malaria, dys pepsia, liver and kidney trouble, nervous ncss and debility are also among the ail ments to which this popular medicine is adapted. For the infirmities, soreness and stiffness of the aged it is highly beneficial See Here! If you are -'out of Bight," go to U. B.
