A CITY IN SHAME,
The disgraceful episode of Sat
urday night tumilates every
decent citizen of Corvallis.
Had private citizens engaged in
such an exhibition of outlawry
against a respectable gentleman
.the matter would have been bad
enough. Had one policeman,
under the influence ot liquor, in
sulted and threatened a peaceable
stranger it would cause us to
blush. But that the chief of
police and the nightwatchman,
comprising the entire police force
of the citv. should, by these
threats and actions, cause a visit
in? gentleman to be tearful f
walking the streets lest he be
shot down like a dog by the vary
men from whom he should ex
pect protection and whom . the
city has clothed with full police
authority, is an unutterable blow
at our pride. The whole affair
is so peculiar and so unreasona
ble that the relation ot it seems
dream of a De Ottincv. It is
however, too lamentably true.
One citizen remarked that
"whiskey" was the explanation
of the whole affair, bait alas that
word explains too much. We
mav foreive a drunken man but
we .cannot forgive a drunken
officer. Whiskey as an explana
tion simply fixes more directly
the responsibility of the people
for that most unfortunate attair.
The voters had no business elect
ing "whiskey' as the police de
partment of Corvallis. When
the people select as guardians
the city's peace and safety, men,
who allow whiskey, to take pos
session of their senses, they make
a mockery of the 1 'protection
society." The blame rightfully
attaches itself to the whole city.
The duty of our citizens
is
clear and imperative. The.-.aight
watchman should be dismissed
and charges should be preferred
against the chief of police look
ing to his speedy removal. The
councilmen should have no per
sonal feeling in this matter.
Their first duty is to the city.
No plausible excuse can be made
by the policeman for "their extra
ordinary misbehavior. Both ad
mit being so drunk that they
knew not what they did. An
outraged community expect the
councilmen to do their duty and
vindicate the city of Corvallis.
LET US FACE THE FACTS.
It is evident that Senator
Mitchell perceives the danger to
American interests that lurks in
the suggested resurvey of the
Nicaragua canal route. In an
interview with a New York Her
ald correspondent yesterday the
Oregon senator said:
"I am in favor of the construc
tion of the canal under American
control, whatever may be the
cost and however great the obsta
cles may be that are in the way.
I have no patience with these
delays. There have been no less
than eleven surveys on this route
already, and there is no necessity
for any further survey prelimi
nary to actual work. I am in
favor of going right ahead and
constructing the canal and over
coming any obstacles that may
be found in the way."
That view of the matter is
both practical and patriotic. The
report of the government com
mission does not pronounce the
construction of the canal unfeas
ible. It merely points out sev
eral defects in the route adopted
by the company, and states that
they can be overcome by spend
ing more money than the compa
ny's estimate calls for. Such
being the case, it is not necessary
that the government should post
pone, assuming control of the
canal until new surveys have
been made.
As to the question of cost, it
should be of secondary interest
in a project that involves the
upholding of American dignity
aiid the promotion of American
commerce. And as it is a ques
tion that must be met soon or
late that would be as formida
ble after the proposed surveys
were made as it now is the soon
er we meet it and dispose of it
the better it will be for our
national welfare. We could bet
ter afford to delay taking hold of
the canal and to haggle over the
cost of its completion if we. were
not confronted by an active and
enterprising rival for its owner
ship. English brains and Eng
lish capital are endeavoring to
secure a grip on the canal, and
the longer we dilly-dally in the
premises the more favorable be
comes England's prospect of
euchreing us.
Either the canal is worth com
pletion by this government or it
is not. If it is, we should assume
control of it at once.s If it is
not, we should drop the project I
right now and give England a
clear field to secure the key to
western commerce. That, is the
hard, practical way of looking at
the matter. The coming con
gress should face the facts pre
sented by the commission's re
port and act in accordance with
them. Consideration of the
suggested appropriation for an
other survey should be deferred
until the question of whether the
United States shall, or shall not
exclusively control the canal is
definitely disposed of. Portland

Played an the Mud.
There have been many grames
of football played on the O. A
C. gridiron but the one last
Thursday between the soldiers of
Vancouver and the O. A. C.
eleven was without doubt the
most interesting of any hereto
fore played here. The visitors
were no match for the home
team and when time was called
at the end of the second half the
score stood 18 W o in favor of
the farmers.
The attendance showed that
though the home players were
out of it so far as the champion
ship was concerned, the football
spirit was still alive. Notwith
standing the fact that the weather
was cold and disagreable and a
drizzling rain was falling during
most of the afternoon fully iooo
people saw the : soldiers go down
in defeat. Of this number, how
ever, not more than one-half
paid for their pleasure. The
county xoad leading toward Col
lege hill .on the north side of the
ground proved a good location
from which to witness the game
and several hundred persons
stood out . there rather than pay
the required 25 cents, that would
entitle them to admittance to the
grounds.
During the first half Prof.
John Pulton served as' 'referee
and Will H. Bloss as umpire,
their positions being ' reversed
during the seoond half. Mr.
Harry P-oggers served very satis
factorily a3 linesman.
Playing commenced at 2:45
and from the first it was evident
that, the home team would be
the victors. Their game was
the most brilliant one ever put
up on the O. A. C. field. Not
one of the eleven sturdy farmers
shirked his duty and under the
splendid generalship of Miles
Phillipps the boys redeemed
themselves. The soldiers evinced
cafeful training but at times
they showed an unfamiliarity
with the game that told against
them. . They, however, put up a
game fully equal to that of the
Forest Grove team which played
the O. A. C. eleven three weeks
previous, thus showing the re
sult of earnest, hard work on the
part of the home players in their
preparation for the game. The
O. A. C. team can rightfully
give Coach Downing a large
share of the credit forwinning
the game, for it was due to his
careful and conscientious train
ing that the boys were able to
attain such proficiency. Had he
arrived sooner in the season it is
very probable that Corvallis
would have taken at least second
place in the struggle for the in
tercollegiate championship.
The soldiers won the toss and

ball well into the soldiers' terri

The second half opened with
a kickoff by Vancouver, the ball
coming into the possession of A.
Stimpson who carried it several
yards. Abernethy then ham
mered the line for 10 yards, but
the ball was lost to the soldiers
on a luuiDie.. iney ianea to
make their yardage, and the ball
again went to- the farmers, who
soon worked it, by a succession
of center plays, across the sol-
diers' goal line; but Abernethy
failed to kick goal.
Shortly after the next kickoiT.
Corvallis lost the ball on a fum
ble, but on the third down Van
couver had failed to make her
vardaee, so it again came into
possession of the home team
his star play, taking the ball
around the soldiers' left end for a
run of fully- fifty yards. Bloss,
however, brought him back 20
yards upon the ground that he
ran outside the line. ' This decis
ion met with general disfavor, as
many who were in a position to
know, claimed that Oberer, al
though close to the line at one
time, did not get outside of-it.
Burnett took the ball for an end
run and succeeded in making a
fair gain. On the third down
Abernethy tried to kick goal from
field but failed, and the ball was
stopped by a soldier at the goal
line, who was tackled by Ed.
Stimpson. The ball was then
brought to the 25 yard line.
Welch was substituted for Bodine.
Corvallis lost the ball on a fum
ble but soon had it again, owing
to Vancouver's inability to make
the requisite yardage, which was
largely due to some splendid work
on the part of Welch, who went
through their line and tackled the
man with the ball. End plays
by Phillips and Kelsay and a cen
ter play by Abernethy soon took
the ball-over the line for another
touchdown. Burnett then kicked
goal,, the first during the game,
and added 6-points to the farm
ers' score. Time was called soon
afterward with the ball in the
farmers' possessioon. on the sol
diers' 25-yard line.

Chicago's most prominent music house,
Lyon and Healy, have a number of slightly

These instruments comprise Square pianos at

pianos at $125, 140, 150, 9165, 190, 5200,

f fortune are not so constantly confronting
us with perils to the body, on the land as on
the sea. It may not bo true that the larger
proportion of intelligence is found ashore,
but tha number who follow the sea, compared
to their speciss who ciing to native earth, is
very few. "When one, therefore, who reads
and thinks, and in meditation and study
grows wise, and yet is willing to forej;o the
allurements of social life, and find a home
amid the majestic billows of the ocean, we ,
are inclined to wonder at the attraction such .
a life can have for such a man. j
Captain Winant was such a man. Culti- j
vatcd in art, i'l sciraco in literature; con" !
scientious in his political beliefs: wise in his !
economic and s-jcial views, -his was a raits
and brilliant mind. To equalize any somber
shadows which the danccroui diameter of
his vocation might have. cast about him, na- i
ture bad endowed him with an incxhanstub o
fund of humor, which . found expression in
so gentle and refined a manner as to leave
the impression of sweet music on his com
panions. The story of his lifa will never be
adequately told. No one could have told it j
so well as ho. ' There was a deep and abiding j
faith in tho virtue of mankind. That is a
good kind of faith - to have. Virtuous men
asd women have such a faith. : With Gap-
tain Winant this was not merely sensuous, j
It-lightened oveey dark 'Tecs and made
plain every avenue from which his intelli
gence -went forth to conrmhiglo with the in
telligence of tho race, and it necessarially
follows, that he appeared to others as be be
lieved the right sine of humanity to exist in
them, lie was, accordingly, gonial, courte
ous and sincere. Seamen are universally i
sincere. Their life is real, and that irsurcs j
sincerity. , .'. - . .
Perhaps no words can TUJittingly illustrate
tho gentla nature of the man, as that touch
ing poem whih be wrote after the death of
hiyoung and lovely wife, some six or seven
years ago.. "It is as follows: '
IN ilKSIORif OJf MI'S. J. J W1JCAMT..'
"Keep quiet, lot mo die ini peace. Take
good care of the children. Amie." '
It was near the hour of midnight,
The city whs nt rest, ' -When
we knew that sho was dying,
. Our deai'est and bur beit.
Yet calm and brave sho waited,
Hor beating heart to erase;
And she mumered low, "keep quiet!
Oh ! Let me die in peace."
"Take good care of tho children,"
Again she softly said; '
Then 'hcrjhoart beat low and rested,
And we knew that she was dead.
,Wu knew, before tho sun rose x
On tho next succeeding day,
A band of loving ingcl
Would have borooi.far away.
" I stood and gazed upon her, . ,
My darling one, myall; . :
Then 1 left the dying beflsida,
. ' And passed into the hall. '
And there my little 'jN ita, .
In her snowy gown of white,
Stood leaning o'er the railing; :
In that dark and solemn night. .
Her little head Tcclining,'
To catch each passing word,
Then her little lips moviid softly, :
And tha only sound I heard:
"Is mamma dying, papa ?"
And her voice was full of pain;
' And then her eyes grew brighter,
And she said, "ilamoia'i grow jigain."
Oh ! that a touch of childish faith,
A ray of heavenly bliss.
Could come to every weeping heart,
In snob nn hour as this. .
And ifjsuch faith by naturo "
Is in arly childhood wrought,
How sad that we should live to doubt,
And grow beyond the thought.
And our da;ling'littlj baby,
As she saw us stand and weop,

And said, "Poor mamma go to sleep."

And maybe vou but speak the truth,

lutuitive in you may be
Divinely planted thought;
For from the mouths of babes
'Tis said, the greatest truths are taught.
The manner in which Capt. Winant met
his death is known to all. He died in the
dischargn of his duty. What manner of
death could be more sublime, than to die
protecting the interests intrusted to him.
Men die on the battlefield protecting their
country, which msans their families, their
homos, property and government. .That is
patriotism. Man die protecting property
entrusted to their keeping. ,That is heroism.
Patriotism and heroism are synonomtus
terms. The patriot is a hero; the hero is
generally a patriot. Captain Winant was a
hero in every sense of the word. No one
knew so well as he the imminent dangerof
repairing the rudder gearing, and on this
errand he went alone.- To'savethe lives of
his men and tho property of his charge, he
gave up bis own life. It ha3 been well said
of him, that to die thus doing his duty,
and as every brave seaman might prefer to
die, among the billows where he had made
his home was a fitting death for such a man.
But it can still more truly be said of him
that in thus meeting his death in tho dis
charge of his first duty to his men and his
employer, he exemplified tha rarest trait of
human character which can be possessed by
any man: Faithfulness unto death.
The wild breakers will dash against the
Pacific shore when all of us are gone. ' The
sweet songs of little birds will be sung about
his grave in that silent city, in the sunny
Southern land where his remains have been
bud to rest, no more to bo tossed about, the
sport and caprice of everv wild and tempest-uou-
vyago; but the spirit of Captain Wi
nant will seem to live along the sea, and to
those who have known him well, every dorp
and solemn surge of old ocean will seem to
sing a mournful roquinm to his memory. Did
I say mournful ! Not so, for the memory
which lives after him, will bo full of tho
brightness of his spirit as we knew him;
and i ver thus will his life and dostinv boa
silent irisnira'i n toward the liefer on rl mi,
erlife to which nil true womon mil men
aspire. J.H. Wil'On.
