PATRIOTIC REVIVAL.
President Cleveland's message
to congress on the Venezuela
question has served to arouse all
the patriotic instincts of true
Americans. It has also served
to force the the wearers of foreign
livery to come out in their true
colors and show thsmselves hos
tile to democratic institutions.
The principal anti-American
spirit in America is found in the
vicinity of wealthy New York,
and cultured Boston. The su
perficial and the natural do not
well mix. The college professors
of the east have drowned their
natural sentiments with a flood
of artificial attainments. They
have lost the free, imperious im
pulses that make a man a man,
and to their cultured minds the
terms, national dignity and na
tional honor, savors much of the
barbaric.
This peace-at-any-price class,
however, forms but a tiny por
tion of the population of the
United States. Its feeble protest
but more clearly shows the full
ness and intensity of the Ameri
can feeling that .pervades this
- nation. Party and sectional lines
are obliterated in the general
manifestation of approval ac
corded the plain, simple, and yet
magnificent message of Presi
dent Cleveland. - That message
has been criticisedby some Amer
ican trucklers to the L,ion, as go
ing further than the Monroe doc
trine and setting up new and
more arbitrary propositions. This
is doubtless true, but the Amen
can people are willing to call it
the Cleveland or Olney doctrine
and adopt and cherish it just as
ardently as they did the origi
nal message that warned Europe
against American aggressions.
Among the discordant notes
heard in the patriotic chorus that
is welling up all over the coun
try, one voice is noted whose tone
might be considered surprising.
1 he president of a secret oreant
' zationthat. has .always claimed
to be intensely patriotic and or
ganized solely for the protection
of American institutions, seeks
to discredit Cleveland's motives,
by a ridiculous assertion to the
effect that the ' 'war scare' ' is the
result of a concocted scieme be
tween Cleveland, the money pow
er and the Catholic priesthood
He expresses, by implication, a
tender solicitude for England
and her interests, and annouces
his holy horror of all things
Irish. Such a criticism, while
probly so intended, will not les
sen Cleveland's influence, nor
weaken his power to enforce the
American doctrine he so vigor
ously sets up. It will, however,
instill into the public mind a dis
trust of the organization of which
this man Traynor is at the head
and a belief, whether : right or
wrong, that the chief mission of
the society is the development
of English sentiments in Amer
ica. In this general denunciation
of the Irish he will not strike a
popular chord. American sym
pathy for Ireland as a nation is
proverbial. The religious ques
tion does not enter the minds of
American people regarding these
political matters and no unfound
ed, sensational charges will wean
them from their present sympa
thies. This - patriotic outburst is
healthy in its effect and also is
an evidence of national health.
There will probably be no wan
This country will not recede one
iota from the position it has taken
in the adoption of Cleveland's
recommendations by congress.
iingland, however, will tempor
ize and finally, as gracefully as
she can, surrender -the points of
controversy. 'England dare not
fight the United States. The
sentiment developed by Cleve
land's message shows that the
people of this nation are willing
and almost anxious for a conflict
with the bully of nations.
The farmers of the United
States, and particularly those
engaged in woolgrowing have in
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon,
a staunch, active and influential
friend. Earlier in the session he
introduced a resolution instruct
ng the finance committee to re-'
store the McKinley duties ou
wool in any revenue bill report
ed to the senate, and last week
in speaking upon the resolution
declared that no industry had re
ceived such a staggering and
deadly legislative blow as that
inflicted upon the wool industry
by the Wilson tariff act. It
drained from the United States
within the past year $85,000,000
gold to pay for foreign wool, and
occasioned a loss to the wool-
growers of this country of more
than $100,000,000. Unless this
legislation was changed, the
sheep industry of the Pacific
coast would be -annihilated;
Mitchell referred to the condition
of the treasury and the president's
appeal, and added that while pro
viding at earliest possible mo
ment legislation which will pro
duce sufficient revenue to relieve
the administration -of its present
embarrassment, the other im
portant questions should not be
lost sight of in the performance
of our patriotic response to the
president and we should so legis-
laje as to relieve from danger of
destruction some of the great 111
dustries stricken down by the
Wilson tariff act. Mitchell said
the tariff bill passed by the house
would probably increase the rev
enue $40,000,000 a year. Amend
ed as it shonld be by affording
wool, lumber, barley, hops and
other agricultunl products ade
quate protection, it will give an
additional revenue of $6o,obo,
000 and place a padlock upon the
so-called "endless chain," by
which gold is drawn from the
treasury, stop all necessity for
further issue of bonds and rescue
from impending ruin the wool
and other agricultural, interests
of this country.
Representative Beach,
Ohio, has introduced a bill
of
in
the house that, if its provisions
are carried out, will prove of
great advantage to this govern
ment in enforcing the Monroe
doctrine. The bill authorizes
the president of the United
States to invite the governments
of the other American republics
to appoint plenipotentaries, with
full powers, to meet in confer-
jef .m" the clty of .Washington
witnin one. year troni tne ap
proval of the act, for the formal
acceptance and declaration of
the Monroe doctrine as a princi
ple of international law. The
bill names the secretary f state
as Ihe plenipotentiary, for the
United States, and appropriates
$5Qrooo for the expenses of the
conference. .. -
- Jrm . r-' .
Xhb Times driticises" Presi
dent Cleveland's proposed bond
issue. It is not in love' with
Cleveland's financiering. It re
joiced heartily at the . defeat of
Gormamsm in Maryland. . It
gets in .a side lick or two occa
sionally .at Dave Hill. It fails
to see much beauty in Tam
manny. All this causes plain,
every-day republicans to won
der what breed of the Tiger the
Times claims to train with. On
what ground can that paper urge
the voters to support the demo
cratic ticket next year?
An Unpleasant Affair.
A disagreeable story concern
ing two of the best known peo
ple in Corvallis is being indus
triously circulated not only in
this city, but throughout the
state.
Unfortunately for the parties
concerned, accusation is half
proof in such an affair as is now
the chief topic of conversatfon
on our streets and the storyf does
not grow less sensational by con
stant repetition. Mo3t of those
who profess to believe the re-
port, Dase tneir Deiiet upon
simple rumor. A Gazette re
porter has interviewed some of
the men that are said to have
discovered the scandal, but they
declined to make a statemerft for
publication. One of them," how
ever, said he saw something sus
picious. "He informed a friend
confidentially' of his discovery
and he says rumor has greatly
magnified it; that he did not see
what he is how reported to have
Seen.
In the absence of any.' sensi
ble proof, this paper would be
inclined to ignore the matter
further, as far. as the parties
themselves are personally con
cerned. But since one of the
principal parties is the postmas
ter of Corvallis and the affair is
said to have occurred at the post- i
office during business hours, and
since the reports are being so
generously circulated, public in
terest demands an investigation
of the matter.
The rumors charge that Robt.
Johnson, the postmaster, was
discovered on one or more oc
casions' with a vounsr ladv in an
inproper position by parties
awaiting tne distribution
OI the
mail. The storv seems too ore-i
posterous and unreasonable for
belief; and those best acquainted
with Mr; Johnson do not accept
the story as being true. They
give him credit for more discre
tion, if notting else.
Mr.-Johnson emphatically de
nies any misconduct. He is
greatly worried by the scandal,
as he realizes that many peo-
pie readily accept such reports
on a homely theory that ' 'Where
there is so much smoke there
must be some fire." He says
soiiis circumstances must ; have
given origin to the rumor, but he
is unable to call anything to
mind that might start such a dis
graceful 'report. He thinks that
some perfectly innocent action
has been misconstrued aud then
magnified by gossip into the
present shameful accusation.
Both he and the young lady are
anxious tor a lull investigation,
for they, as well as their friends,
know that it will result in a com
plete vindication.
It wonld seem to be only jus
tice for people to refrain from
passing judgment until they are
possessed of proof. As the
matter now stands, most diligent
inquiry has failed to unearth
evidence of anything more than
indiscretion at the worst.
Dying Democracy.
Editor Gazette:
It is raining and raining
straight down, and out of -the
house I dare not my head poke,
so, to pass the time more pleas
antly on, to fading democracy I'll
crack a little joke. The news
from Maryland, my Maryland,
where Gorman men are in such
a fix. That its really difficult to
understand how they will hold
their canvass in '96. The mourn
ful and tearful wail of Watterson,
shows democracy is a total wreck :

They got them foul aud made a
total scoop. There are only a
few left in the fold, and what
there is, lies floundering in the
soap. There are only two poor
comforts left them; one is Missis

the other, Tammany again victor

solation stops. Every other part

They are flattened out, as we all
know, but they'll uot give it up

most sorrowful things in the uni

that passes makes them feel it

that they are petered out; and all
that's left for them, is a little

This is only just and right, you
know, to give them all a chance;

OVERMANS tlVBD IN OREGON.
It is not generally known, says the
Sunday Oregonian, that the family of
Miss Mattie Overman, who - has secured
notoriety in Connection with the Brown
Davidson scandal in San Franciscon,
was originally from the Alsea valley,
just south of Yaquina bay, then in Ben
ton county. The father was John Over
man, and he conducted a small ranch.
They were miserably poor. -The family
was large, and all the children, except
oac, were red-headed for which,: of
course, no one was to blame. The rank
of the children was as follows: Lizzie,
who was afterward married several times;
Ollie, aterward Mrs. Charles Dubois, of
this city; Alice, Addie, AJattie, Dr.
Brown's friend; Ivillie, and several small
er children. ' - r:

reighbor womcu volunteered their ser-;
vices and contributed labor by sewing
for- some days before their departure.
They left finally, and went to Walla Wal-
city. The subsequent movements of j
various members cf the family have
already been printed in the papers.
When she left Alsea, Mattie was about
5 years old, and is therefore now about
27. She was in Spokane a while, and en
