DEMOCRATIC ADVICE DECLINED.
The republican party is not in
a mood to brook dictation from
democrats in matters relating to
platform or candidates. -Several
democratic papers, including the
Roseburg Review, the Salem
Statesman and others, are very
free with their advice as to cer
tain probable republican candi
dates' fitness for office ' and run
ning strength. The democratic
candidates would seem to be much
more in need of grooming than
those of the g. o. p. ; but, doubt
less, these organs of the Tiger
realize the hopelessness of their
party's success, and being posses
ed of much of the spirit of Paul
Pry, they have put their noses
where they don't belong.
The Salem paper, it is true,
professes to be a republican jour
nal. It has, however,: nothing
but its profession to recommend
it to true republicans. It is not
in accord or touch with the lead
el's 6f the party, Of any consider
able number of republican voters.
It is edited by a southern demo
crat, and one of its proprietors is
a holdover pap sucker of the state
from Pennoyer's regime. With
remarkable, effrontery this hybrid
sheet attempts to thrust itself into
the councils of republicanism:
The party, however, is not in
desperate need of any such doubt
ful advisors. Of course it is an
noying to have little dogs barking
at your heels, but it is not worth
while paying much attention to
them, except to shy an occasion
al brick at their canine heads.
If a little thing could impart
its littleness by petty attacks upon
the objects of its ill-regard, Mr.
Hermann would be the political
Lilliputian of the state, and the
diminutiveness of that splendid
republican worker,- Hon. T. T.
Geer, would be worth)' of investi
gation by the Smithsonian insti
tute. But, under the present
condition of affairs, and natural
laws "being as they be," Messrs.
Hermann and Geer will doubtless
smile and thrive politically and
otherwise, as large as life and
twice as natural.
The attitude of that Salem
paper, so ridicuously misnamed,
is anti-Oregon. It attacks the
proposition to improve the honor
Tom river, not from regard for
the national treasury, but because
it involves an Oregon appropria
tion that does not directly benefit
Salem.; It sees no merit ia any
yreon enterprise or Institution
outside of its own hamlet. The
only commendable quality that
this Salem Demagogue possesses
is inability, to accomplish the
harmful results it advises.
Senator McBride, of Ore
gon, when shown that his com
mittee room was between those
of the two Washington senators,
remarked that "the state of
Washington is divided only by
the Columbia -river. " In allud-
in to himo1f ' ' ' . ,
',.,. . , a representative
of the Columbia river, McBride
seems to appreciate what he is
.sent to Washington City for.
Post Intelligencer.
The announcement that comes
from Ohio that ex-Governor
Campbell does not want the next
democratic presidential nomina
tion is amusing. No one sup
posed, after he was snowed un-
der by over 100,000 plurality last
fall, that he ever would care to
dip into politics again.
For every 286 of the people
of the United States is one school
house, and one saloon for every
276. This is a close race. Ore

The growth of republicanism
in Kentucky is thus accounted
for bv the Hazel Green, Ky. ,
Herald: "It beats the devil.
Every man who dies or moves
away is a democrat, . F-YCty'!
"-"t " f.c in aau every
bdby born, is a republican."
According to the annual re
port of the secretary of the treas
ury, the interest bearing debt of
the United States, exclusive of
the bonds issued in aid of Pacific
railroads, was increased $112,
318,700 during the 12 months
ended November 1, 1895.
There are only four counties
in Iowa without a creamery, and
there are 774 in the entire state.
Of these 381 are operated by.
individuals, 275 by co-operative
societies and 116 by stock com
panies. The butter product from
these concerns aggregates in val
ue about $15,000,000 a year.
The commercial failures in
the United States during the
complete year 1895 number 13,
197, against 13,885 in 1894, but
the aggregate of liabilities is
slightly greater, $173,196,000,
against $172,992,856, so that the
average per failure is $13,124,
against $12,458 in 1894.
Senator Mitchell, of Ore
gon, the other day, on the floor
of the senate, demonstrated to a
certainty that one o our troubles
requiring us to export such vast
quantities of gold grew out of the
fact that under the Wilson bill we
have been compelled to import
$100,000,000 worth of free wool
that would have gone to our own
producers of that article but for
the diplomatic policy of protect
ing foreign wool growers, instead
of our ownl This. says a repub
lican exchange, is an object les
son for young Americans and
young republicans. New Or

t- m "
Many Eastern papers . com
ment very favorably about Ore
gon's new senator, Geo. W. Mc
Bride. The well-known Wash
ington correspondent, - Walter
Wellman, in an article on the
financial question, ; quotes Mr.
Brice, Mr. Allison, and Speaker
Reed. Concerning a theory for
the settlement of the money
question he says, "I have since
heard it very ably elucidated by
Senator McBride, of Oregon,
one of the younger men in the
senate, but one who, by his
thoughtful ness and studiousness
has earned the respect and admi
ration of his older colleagues.
Senator McBride is a firm believ
er in international bimetalism as
the future monetary policy of the
world." Senator McBride is
more of a student than an orator;
a worker, not a ranter. Oregon
is very fortunate in her represen
tation at Washington.
There is a fable that runs
something like this: A hare
called upon a lion and asked his
opinion as to the truth of the
rumor that the pig could frighten
the elephant by simply grunting.
The lion replied "It is doubtless
true. We larger animals have a
pet aversion to some particular
animal of no significance. Even
I am afraid of a mouse." 'Thank
you," replied the hare, "that ex
plains why we hares so despise
the dogs." This fable is called
to mind by the attittrda of the
Salem Statesman. It is con
stantly attempting to cast reflec
tions upon Hermann's ability and
standing in congress. It pro
fesses to believe that he is a' weak
candidate; and the fable will ex
plain why a great, strong paper
like . the Statesman goes into
hysterics over the mere "mention
of the name of such an unimport
ant man as Hermann. "We,
hares," in common with other
animals, have "our" peculiar
weaknesses.

An Advance In Wheat
A sharp advance in the price
of wheat during the past week
has liad the effect of making bus
iness lively about the mills and
warehouses. A representative of
the Portland Flouring Mills Com
pany arrived in town the latter
part of last week and made a flat I
offer 6o Cents per oushel delivered
on board the boat This price
included storage, sacks and the
expense or delivering, amounted
to 6 y2 cents, leaving the net price
cents. - The mills and ware
housesmen met this price, and, as
a result about 35,000 bushels were
sold in Corvallis since the raise.
Of this amount Mr. Herron
bought a pool of 5,000 bushels
stored in the Finley warehouse
near Monroe, owned by C. Zierolf,
H. M. Finley, Hugh Herron and
Philip Phile. The Benton Mills
purchased one lot of 6,000 bush
els, another of 3,000 bushels and
several smaller lots, making total

ent price, about 12,000 bushels;

" For two years I have been sick, having
been confined to the house for a year. I

skilled physicians, but received no benefit.
Leurt winter I caught cold and became

before I had finished one bottle I laid the

the eczema had left me and I was almost

vast amount there remains un
sold not to exceed 30,000 or 35
000 bushels. The bulk of it
was disposed of early in the fall
at 46 cents. The market yester
day wasweaker with a downward
tendency, and some think it will
not go higher. Others, however,
are still holding their grain in
anticipation of further advances.
Reducing Expenses.
c Numerous changes, ' looking
toward the reduction of expen
ditures on the Oregon Central &
Eastern, is the result, of Presi
dent Hammond's recent visit.
Since the confirmation of the
sale of the property to Messrs.
Bonner & Hammond, a Jarge
sum has been expended in better
ments, until now the bridges,
rolling stock and road bed are in
first-closs condition. Now, since
no further repairs are needed, it
is Mr, Hammond's plan. to reduce
operating expenses to a mini
mum. To this end, bridge car
penter and several Of the section
gangs have been paid off, and a
reduction of the force in the gen
eral office has been made.
J. R. Abbey, heretofore train
dispatcher, has been made local
agent. ; A. R. Chapman and
John Adams have been : releaved
for the present at least, and all
the duties of the general office
fall upon Manager Stone and Su
perintendent Clark, assisted by
J. C. Mayo, who will also look
after the company's' freight and
passenger business along the line.
It was the intehtipn'at first to re
lieve Agent Harry Walden at
Albany and appoint A. R. Chap
man, formerly of the auditor's
office, to the vacancy, but Mana
ger Stone said yesterday that Mr.
Walden would be retained.
Of late the O. R. & N. Co.'
has been encroaching upon the
O. C. & E.'s field and the effect
has been to reduce considerably
the latter' s traffic. - Said a prom
inent Corvallis business man yes
terday, "With rates the same the
Q. C- & E- is entitled to all the
business of this section. Of
course", it is to be regretted that
the company has found it neces
sary to make such radical changes
in order to bring its expenses
within its earnings. ' The effect
