NOT AN IDLE SCARE.
There is an organized effort
afoot to down Mitchell. and Her
mann in Benton county. Pre
posterous as the idea, may seem
to those who are aware or the
overwhelming sentiment in fa
vor of both those gentlemen,
the scheme is not a:i impossible
one. It can only safely be frus
trated by determined and intelli
gent actions of republican voters
lat the primaries. Send no
Idoiibtlul delegate to the county
invention. The people are of-
en misrepresented not irom
heir lack of intelligence, butbe-
ause of their carelessness. It
not too early now to begin dis-
ussing the proper men to repre
sent your precinct in the conven-
on.
It is not necessary at this time
explain why Benton county
Ivors benator Mitchell ; and
pngressmau Hermann. It is
hough that it does so. What
now needed is care that the
bsires of the vast majority be
bt thwarted by the trickery of
Inning politicians. Wire pull-
s have a variety of means for
-Jcomplishing their ends. They
are not narapesed by conscienti
ous scruples. Success is their
heaven and failure their hell.
They are in politics for revenue
only. To manipulate the party
machinery against the party's
own candidates is '. to them but
the most refreshing joke. A few
Benton county opponents of
Mitchell and Hermann are sim
ply puppets controlled by shrewd
er and more powerlul men
They, however, have their little
tncks and will work them for
all they are worth. They will
attempt to trade the .nominations
for county offices for the delega
tions to the congressional and
state conventions. They are
not asleep. It is . very probable,
however, that they will discover
that the republican voters are
pretty early risers themselves.
Voters are
discussing
the
prospects for a lively political
campaign this spring. Two years
ago there was a general expres
sion in favor of a clean, harmo
nious campaign, devoid of un
pleasantness. Glee clubs were
organized and we had some nice
music, recitations and speeches,
and everything gave evidence of
brotherly love. Republicans and
democrats gazed at each other
with affectionate eyes and all
went merry as a Philomath dance
until the canvass fairly opened.
Then the music and speaking
still continued, but they were
minor notes in the grand chorus.
Republicans, democrats and pop
ulists were on the rounds with
large sized hammers and ringing
fire bells, The search light of
history was turned on the darkest
and furtherest corner of every
candidate's character, and there
was a general scramble for mud.
There is a general desire for a
decent campaign in the county
during the coming election, and
it is possible we shall enjoy that
luxury, but it will be a safer
proposition to "copper" than to
play "straight up." The signs
of the times point to a real live,
interesting campaign.
The only argument that those
who propose to turn Mr. Her
mann down, can use, is that he
did not get the chairmanship of
a committee. It is very flimsy
thread, and one that should not
for a moment prevail in the
minds of considerate people.
Those who wish to succeed him
would find it would take them
many a day to get as far up the
ladder as Mr. Hermann is at the
present time. Transcript.
The Times, touched to the
quick by our casual mention of
its "cuckoo" propensities, sneers
at the Gazette, asserting that
it reprints from the Times. The
charge is a master study in the
art of revenge. The accusation
that the Gazette relies upon
such source for its information,
is designedly cruel.
Money to Loan.
I have money to loan on improved farm
ands in Benton and Linn counties, in any
sums of from 500 up to $10,000, on very fa
vorable terms. For particulars and blank
applications write to C. G. Burkuart,
Albany, Oregon.
More of Mr. Hermann's Record.
Newport, Or., Feb. 12. (To
the Editor.) The correspondent
from Eugene signing himself
"Willamette Valley" says Her
mann claims credit for every
thing, etc. Is there any reason
why he should not? Does not all
bills appropriating
money of J
necessity have to originate in the
house? Was there any other
member in the house from Ore
gon siuce 1885, but Binger Her
mann? Mr. Ellis has been there
to participate in the appropria
tion bill of 1894.. Now, for the
purpose of economy in time and
space, I will take some (not all)
of the most important river and
harbor measures, giving all that
has been appropriated in each
before 1886, the year Hermann
commenced his work for the state,
and I will except the year 1894,
when we had two members of
congress, and we shall be able to
see how much Oregon owes to
Binger Hermann's tact and abil
ity in the house, and to ex-Senator
Dolph and Senator Mitchell
in the senate, since, and includ
ing the year 1886:
Coquillo Kiver and Bar
Before 1886 they had $ 29,999 63
After 1886 they had 125,000 00
Mouth of Columbia river
Before 1886 they had ? 100,000 00
After 1886 they had 1,587,750 00
Upper Willamette river
Before 1886 they had $54.xsx 95
After x886 they had 30,000 00
- Cascade Locks
Before 1886 they had $ 950,000 00
After 1883 they had 1,487,903 00
Coos Bay
Before 1886 they had 9 105,642 28
After 1886 they had ; 421,107 72
Siu'slaw after 1886 95,000 00
Yaquina Bay
Before 1886 they had - $ 160,000 00
Alter 1886 they had 475,000 00
Compare the work of all the
representatives and senators Ore
gon ever had previous to the year
1886, and see the result. Before
1886 Oregon had received on
these several public works the
total sum of $1,399,793.92, while
during the ten years (not includ
ing the year 1894) of Hermann's
service in the house, and ex-Senator
Dolph and Senator Mitchell
in the senate, we have the mag
nificent sum of $4,126,760.72,
or to be plainer, $2,720,900.00
more than the combined efforts
of all previous representation in
both houses were able to secure
for us. Nearly three times as
much money has been appropri
ated for Oregon since and includ
ing 1886 as there was altogether
before that date I doubt very
much if half the people in the
state ftilly understand the full
extent and benefit Oregon has de
rived from the active, intelligent
and efficient labor of our delega
tion. W. V. is informed that
Mr. Hermann did not iurnish
these, or any other figures; they
are correct, howeyer, and I chal
lenge W. V., or any one else .to
disprove their correctness. They
are taken from the official records
of the war department. If Mr.
Hermann entered the ring by
telegram, against the caucus nom
inee, it was unwise, but there are
many republican politicians who
did the same thing in person, and
would like to be recognized as
Hermann's successor. I said
some of these appropriations were
raised in the senate by ex-Senator
Dolph and Senator Mitchell's
influence. I shall try and obtain
the exact amounts, and give it to
the public later, as it is no part
of my intention to deny full
credit where it is due our public
servants. The first consideration
with me is " the best interest of
the state; second, the ambition
of my political friends. Who
ever receives the nomination at
Albany will be heartily support
ed by R. A. B.

POLITICAL PLATFORMS.
Parties and Politicians Arraign
edA Plea for Clean
Methods.
Corvallis, Feb. 14, '96.
Editor Gazette:
As we approach a general elec
tion the mind naturally reverts
to the cause of, and necessity for
legislation, the character of which
determines our political affilia
tion. We may suppose that a life
long republican, or a life-long
democrat, will vote the party
ticket without question, the
masses leaving it to party lead
ers to frame the platforms, and
indicate the attitude of their
several parties toward the nation
al and local issues which have to
be met.
This confines the treatment of
national and local issues to com
paratively a few persons in each
party. At this point, it seems to
me, there is a great danger that
self-interest may be brought in
contact with public interests, and
whenever this occurs public inter
ests are in danger. There are
incorruptible men, and there are
others who can. be" reached
through their cupidity or ambi
tion. It is not often that men
are found who cannot be per
suaded that things which are
black are not black but only are
not quite pure white, and that,
it being impossible to obtain
pure white, the public interest
demands taking something not
quite purely white. Such men
often, ignorantly, or carelessly,
or blindly, accept . what they
think is not pure white, but the
best they think they can get in
the public interests, and in reali
ty get the blackest kind of cor
ruption through legislation, in
exchange for their birthright, a
freeman's yote.
The principal methods by
which the sovereign voters of a
free country can protect them
selves against this danger, are to
support at the head of their par
ties only such men as those who
are wise and honest enough to
avoid the "dangers of corruption
or ignorance; and this is well
nigh impossible because men go
to the front of their own volition
and not as a choice of the peo
ple, and the unerring tendency
of human nature is as well
defined in men of great political
energy, as it is in men whose
energy is expended in other fields
of labor, and we know the pre-,
ponderance inclines to self-inter
est; besides political methods, as
too often practiced, gives an
impetus to the natural tendency
that way owing to the deceit,
duplicity and corruption attend
ant on professional political work.
Or the voters must themselves,
comprehend the effect of legisla
tion and elect men to legislative
office who will support the plat
forms they are elected upon, and
themselves prepare those plat
forms and see that they contain
the principles which will protect
the interests of all the people and
not simply some favored class
who have been fortunate, or dis
honest enough to command the
influences which can mould a
platform in their interests alone.
It is plain that no class of inter
ests can have a platform framed
to protect themselves regardless
of the interests of all the people,
unless the framers of the platform
acquiesce in -their desires and
vote in state and national conven
tions to frame their platforms
that way. We find independent
party journals all "over the land
protesting against "ring" ma
chinery. Perhaps there are
political organizations existing
now, and 'that there have been
-3U.u 1A Hit petal. W111LU aic JLCC
. 'infmences in the
rr . P-
such in the past, which are free
of platform utterances.
I will not venture to say that all
political organizations are not
free from it for my experience
has been very limited. But one
does not have to actually pass
through a convention to under
stand where the platform of a free
and self-governing people has
been moulded in, or modified to
meet the interests of persons, or
classes of persons who derive
great pecuniary benefit from the
legislation, resulting from the
election of men who make laws
in harmony with such platforms.
Whenever a party platform is
thus framed to protect class inter
ests, regardless of the rights of
all the people, and legislation
results therefrom which carries
out the intents of such platforms,
then the free citizens of America,
who do not happen to fall within
the protected class, are far from
enjoying the inalienable rights
of freeborn American citizens.
At present there are four polit
ical parties in this nation enter
ing into the discussion of what
is hoped to be the , best interests
of all the people. ,
The Prohibition Party, which
was founded on a great moral
question, is found advocating:
The suppression of the traffic in
liquors; the right of women to
vote; an increase in the volume
of money, to be gold, silver and
paper, to be issued by the gov
ernment only, and so arranged
that 110 individual or corporation
can make any money out of it;
that tariff should be levied only
against foreign governments levy
ing tariff against our products,
revenues being only incidental ;
taxes to be raised on what people
possess instead of on what they
consume; railroads, etc., to be
run by the government; immi
gration restricted, non-resident
aliens not to own lv.nd in this
country'; mobs have the right of
trial; men should have right to
rest one day in seven; arbitration
heap good; pools, trusts, specu
lations to advance prices to be
suppressed; pledges prohibition
party to pension old union sol
diers, and families; want no
public school nor public money
to be spent on sectarian schools ;
republicans and democrats are
false, unfaithful and degenerate,
not to be trusted, fighting moral
issues, and each other, and alto
gether bad; and invite all men to
join the prohibition party and
thus promote national unity, and
ensure the best welfare of our
entire land.
The Democratic national plat
form speaks for: Defeat of the
force bill and against profligate
expenditure; demand tariff for
revenue only, denounce sham
reciprocity; want laws to prevent
and control trusts; reclaim public
landa from corporations and syn
dicates at home :i:ivl abroad; want
gold and silver cojn of equal
intrinsic and exchangeable value
per dollar, or so adjusted that I lie
parity shall be maintained; want
ten '.percent tax on state banks
repealed; want civil service ie
form; want a foreign policy which
will command respect abroad and
confidence at home, and a navy
strong enough to protect us; want
Russia to' stop oppressing her Jews
and Lutherans, and sympathises
with the Irish home-rulers; want
criminals and paupers and Chi
nese kept out of the United
States, but let in, the industrious
and worthy; just and liberal pen
sions to soldiers disabled in war
(or preser alion, and to their wid
ow and dependents, but those
corrupt, dishonest" and disgraceful
republicans 4ast"' in office are
denounced; government to fix up
waterways; the Nicaragua canal
would be bullv; want the worlds'
fair (at Chicago) to have proper
governmental aid; want free pub
lic schools untrammeled by paren
tal or conscientious interference;
let the territories in;. labor legisla
tion to protect trainmen and chil
dren, and abolish contract convict
labor, and the sweating system
(whatever that is); wants individ
ual. rights assured.
The Republican platform asks
for: Republican protection; reci
procity; gold and silver coin to
circulate at a parity; free ballot
and a fair count; denounce south
ern outrages for political reasons;
want foreign commerce, by home
made ships, with a navy big and
strong enough to protect all con
cerned; believe m the Monroe doc
trine, and want immigration regu
lated in criminal, pauper and con
tract directions; want train men
protected in their life and limb etc;
sympathizes with the home rule
Irish and the Russian Jew; want
liberty of conscience, thought,
speach and press and the children
educated properly, but no union
of church and state; want legisla
tion to prevent trusts from con
trolling the conditions of trade,
etc; free mail delivery and reduc
tion of postage to one cent when
it will stand it; want civil service
reform; also thinks the Nicaragua
canal would be bully and want it
controlled by the government; let
in territories; want arid lands
turned over to (he states, so man
aged as to let the people have the
best results; reasonable aid for
worlds' fair (at Chicago); sympa
thy is extended to moralists and
temperance advocates; will look
after pensions as they ought to be
looked after by a grateful people;
and finally President Harrison is a
Hias Tyee.
The Omaha Platform of the
People's Party advocates: A
national currency, safe, sound
and flexible, issued by the gener
al government only, to be full le
gal tender, to . be issued to the
people at not to . exceed two per
cent per annum; free silver at
sixteen to one, circulation increas
ed to $50 per head, income tax,
money to stay in hands of '-- the
people and national revenues for
necessary expenses only, postal
savings banks; governmental op
eration of railroads ; and tele
graphs; the lands granted to rail
roads should be taken back and
held for actual settlers only; and
there are some resolutions not in
platform, 'as follows: . Free bal
lot and fair count and the Aus
tralian ballot system; income tax
revenue to be applied on public
debt; fair and liberal pensions;
want undesirable immigration
stopped; want an eight hour law;
demand Pinkerton men or system
abolished and denounce an inva
sion of Wyoming by the hired as
sassins of plutocracy, assisted by
Federal officials; commend to fa
vorable consideration the inititiave
and referendum; want president
elected only one lerm and U. S.
senators elected by direct vote of
the people; oppose any aid or sub
sidy to any private corporation
by government; sympathizes
with the Knights of Labor.

A PEN PICTURE OF CALIFORNIA.
Lou Akgei.cs, Cal., Feb. 13, 1896.
E Gazbttk:
With your permission, we will give your
miny readers a slight account of our doings
and whereabouts, since leaving our own
beautiful little city, January 27th, by the
popular Yaquina route for San Francisco
This was our first trip over the O. C. & E.
under the present management, and we note
with pleasure the many and substantial im
provements. After two days sight seeing at
Newport, and laying in an abundance of
ro;k oysters, wc turned south on board the
splendid steamer Farallon, Capt. Kobarts in
command, a pleasant and courteous gentle'
mm. In all our travels, we have never met
with more pleasant and courteous officers
and crews than 'on the Farallon. Every
thing possible was dona for our comfort and
pleasure. Capt. Kobarts informed us his
last trip north was made in forty-two hours
from dock to dock.
We entered the golden gate Saturday, and
what a gate it is, Well may Sdn Francisco
be proud of her harbor. Sunday we turned
our faces sonth for Los Angeles, where we
arrived early Monday morning, to tho joy of
our friends. It seems almost incredible tbe
progress this city has made during the last
few years Sinco '92, when we visited here,
thousands ot modern residences and miles
of street car lines have been added to the
city. The change is so complete that my
wife could not find her former home, after
an absence of only three years. Whsre there
was then only a few scattering houses, we
found it built up almost solidly with fine res
idences, and solid, substantial business
blocks. Property here that was ottered to
me at $70 per front foot is now held at $500.
At that time thero were no oil wells in exis
tence. Now the first of tho present month
reports has 375 in the field with a daily out
put of 2,200 barrels of 31 gallons. About
1,500 barrels of this is used inside the ci ty,
fie remainder is shipped mostly to San
Francisco.. Thero is activity in the oil busi
ness. Wages are good, $2.00 to $2.50 per
day. But, mark you, there are thousands of
moi here seeking etnploj-mcnt and the
chi'icss for gettiiis it are nominally no btt-
ter than in Oregon, and the expense of Hv- j
inc is drmhlfl. RiiiMino. nnnrnrmn-r. ntrito J
active. On every hand one sees houses go
ing up, and solid, substantial business block?.
Still the city is full of unemployed men.
While there is great progress and xpleiidor,
there is also squallor and mlory. - The quo
tation of our Lord: Th poor ye imvo
always with ye," is demonstrated oven in tb's
sunny clime, whero not a cloud has omurX
the sun since our arrival. The days mum j
exceedingly hot to a Wcbfuoter, and night
are uncomfortably cold. This, too, Is only
February, what will July bring forth? Tin
Herald of February 7th, says the births in
this city last month nggragaU'd 183, the
deaths 120; the deaths biting 1215 per an
num per 1,000 of those deceased. Twenty
fivo per cent had resided here lets than tlx
m jnths, sixtv-four per cent for less than ten
yjnrs. The coroner had ten cases inside the
city during the month, and there were thir- ;
tern deaths at the county lio-pitiil. and 228 '
ctucsof measles', three resulting fatally; four
deaths from scarlet fever, a:id two from diph
theria. -
After taking in the sights here, we turn j-1
north again to the mountain seaside reMrt
Santa Barbara, with its rich agricultural
surroundings, magnificent scenery and -lightful
ciimati.'. Passing through the rich
and extensive San Fernando and Santa
Clara v-alieys, the busy o'l field.-, the thriving
com n initics of Fillmo'f, Santa Pmi'.-i. Sut
ic y, Ventura, Carpentaria and Si m ner
bvul. At CuiiHiioji i- the home of Humo'ia,
t Vm! 1 1 ! : i i : 1 1 v seen from tint train. Simla
B u-bart h is a populatim about 7.U0!. It
lie upon a .auntie slope, rising from the c!i: n
n ;1 t j a height of 3U0 foci. From the upi r
p rt of town, one has a sweeping view of the
citv, the narrow valley in which it lies, and
the channel with its protecting inlands.
Upon the shore of the channel, just above
high tide, is a paved sea road two miles in
lo.igth, ending in the lovely Plaza del Mar,
with its pnlins and fountains. Here the vis
itor may drive either upon hard sands or
pived roads, or sit in the sunlight and ab
sorb the beauty of the seen" btttorn him.
Turning from the sea, ha can stroll for two
milos through the hoart of town upon tha
pavement of State street. From upper
State street he will see the gray towers of
the Franciscan - mission, rising above its
olive trees. If the visitor is of a literary
turn, he will find food for his mind in the
12,000 volumes of the public library. The
romantic past will speak to him in Spanish
tongue, and the D.-l La Guemt mansion will
give a fair idea of th-: mantmr in which the
Spanish d ns l-vd in i n- old dty.
Now, Air. Editor, I have a'.ieady tres
p lis id upon your valuable space, and as this
mav find its way into the waste basket, I
will only add, we are off for Sau Diego, for
a stay of a week or two, after which will
return here, where we expect to find the Ga
zcttk awaiting us with news from friends
and home. We wish the Gazkttb and its
many readers as enjoyable a time as we are

Death t Fruit Pests.
To make the orchard pay you must
spray, winter and summer,- with Prof.
Brown's Insect Kxterminator. The only
insecticide known that will kill all insect
life without injury to true, fruit or foliage.
Endorsi-d by thu SUte Board of Horti
culture of California, Oregon, and Wash
ington. Used by many nurserymen and
orchnrdists. My winter wash is tha only .
solution that will kiil the woolly aphis,
(use only while the foliage is off). My
piimmtT wash is a sure destroyer of tho
lUtiilUg tlAUlU U.xki iC.U.3 CXCept
woolly aphis, (use just after the blossoms
fall off). My hop house wash kills all
insects that infest vines, vegetables or
plants.
The ingredients used in my formulas can
be found in any drug store, costs much
less than other washes. Full and explicit
directions for mixing and using.
Knowing I have a sure remedy, soma
unprincipled parties are now selling imita
tions. Therefore, to discourage all parties
I have concluded (for a short time only)
to reduce the price of the three formulas
to $2.50 by mail to any address. Formu
