CORVALU5, OREGON, JUNE r, 1S96.
THE GRAND OLD FOLKS.
They have built an empire
they are entitled to our respectful
loyalty, the sturdy sovereigns of
the west. A wilderness has been
transformed, and magnificent
states have been the result. Dan
gerous and toilsome was their
long journey to the western wilds.
Toil and danger marked the carv
ing out of their sunset homes.
They give to future generations
a heritage, and have added bril
liant stars to the glorious banner
of the proudest nation on earth.
The roll call grows shorter.
They are fast taking, their final
journey to unknown lands. Each
annual reunion pathetically re
minds us that the time will soon
come when their association here
will be dissolved and their will
be no more ot the grand old folks
to answer "present."
They will not be pioneers in
that other land. Millions have
gone before, but wherever it is
and whatever the parting of the
curtain may reveal to them, we
know that though they mingle
with kings and queens, and high
potentiates of government arts
and science, there will not be in
all that vast concourse, a nobler
people than those plain, coura
geous men women, the pioneers
of Oregon.
We are in the gingerbread sea
son of the school year. This show
period of school work, ' 'com
mencement," recalls to many
bread-winners green memories of
hiedi resolves and noble ambi
tions come to naught. Com
meucement literature and the
later lives of commencement ora
tors form a " painful contrast
"Over the steeps to the stars,"
and the stars never seem nearer,
nor do the steeps ever seem easier
to climb than just at the close of
our college lite. Then the" steeps
begin to grow more rugged as
the actual ascent commences, and
the stars seem dim and distant.
But pretty visions are more help
ful than hurtful, and besides the
nrrvrlHlv-TrrlCA vrm n href pre' rf trA nj
have a more practical conception
of life's severity, than their grad
uating speeches usually confess.
So let us welcome "commence
ment time," with its flowers and
music, its tears and smiles, its
oratory and applaudings, its dis
play and pleasing huinbuggery,
and as the girls in pretty white
dresses and the boys in uew black
clothes, walk off the stage, let
us add to our congratulations a
murrnered "God bless them."
At last our populist contem
porary has struck an attitude and
boldly says, concerning the finan
cial question: "Thus, if the
dispatches are to be believed,
McKinley will go to the country
on a platform concerning which
there will be no uncertainty and
that platform will be entirely
favorable to the single gold stand
ard. It is equally certain that
the democratic convention will
declare for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. For the sake
of the country it is to be hoped
that all the gold-bugs will follow
the one and all the silverites the
oved wisrlnm a Kptraval rf a
lghty comprehension of great
f natters. But not to be bold
t might be well-er-er could the
country, or well for the sake of
the countrv. which should be
uccessful, Bro. Times ?
Mr. Tongue's position on the
Euancial question is not uucer
tin. On the canvass he exoress-
d distinct, definite ideas in plain,
brcible language. True, he is
hot an extremist and doubtless
"ailed to please the more radical
upporters of the two chief mon
y metals, but to charge that his
position was uncertain, simply
bipugns the comprehension of
is critics.
Col. Alley's newspaper, the
epubiican, published at . Baker
lty, is one of. the" brightest,
ewsiest dailies in Oregon. Col.
lley is an editor with ideas, and
ith backbone enough to express

opularity. "

AND NOW KINCAID.
The Oregonian must certainly
be aware that it deceives no one
when it attempts to make ' Mr.
Mitchell's financial views appear
the reason of its opposition to his
re-election. The real reason of
that opposition is no secret and
needs no explanation.
It is now attacking Oregon's
secretary of state, and claims in
justification that he is a silver
man. The Oregonian is guilty
of another transparent fraud.
Mr. Kincaid's financial views
have nothing whatever to. do with
the management of his office.
Oregon has never had a better,
more economical secretary ot
state. The state has now a nov
elty, an auditing board that au
dits. The system of compensa
tion for the secretary of state
cannot be commended it is true,
but this is the fault of the legis
lature. Mr. Kincaid is not the
lawmaker.
The Oregonian is offended with
Mr. Kincaid because Mr. Kin
caid is independent of the Ore
gonian and the political ring that
speaks through the Oregonian.
It dislikes him especially because
he refused to use his official in
fluence in behalf of Mr. Dolph
during the last legislature. It
can find nothing in the manage
ment of his office to criticise and
so it tries to read him out of the
republican party. A self ac
knowledged "professional bolt
er," its assurance its breezy. It
read itself out of the party in
nominating and supporting
Northrup. 4 'By their fruits ye
shall know them," and judging
by its intents and by its results,
the Oregonian is nothing more
than a populist organ. Mr. Kin
cain's peace of mind will hard
ly be disturbed by its choleric de
nunciation. The populists have had a meet
ing at Salem to denounce the
defeat of Vauderberg. They
claim he was 4 'counted out," i. e.
more votes were counted for
Tongue than for the populist
man. It strikes us that the dem
ocrats have more cause "to com
plain than the Weaverites. My
ers was counted almost 4 'out of
sight." Let the democrats by
all means hold an
meeting.

THE PEOPLES' FRIEND.I
Brief Sketch of Senator Mitch
ell's Public Life at Wash.
" , ington. -;
The following sketch of Senator
Mitchell was made by Frank A.
Peltret, the well-known Washing
ton correspondent, while collecting
material for his book of congres
sion tl wit, humor and satire. Il
ls nicely written and contains a
vast amount of data heretofore
unpublished, which will be read
with pleasure and interest by the
senator's many warm admirers
throughout the state:
"The true gauge of a lawyer's
ability is what his brother lawyers
think of him; of a general, what
his brother generals think of him;
of a statesman what his brother
statesmen think of him: for to se
cure the approbation ot his rivals,
a man must be possessed of quali
fications which command their re
spect and admiration.
"The honors which nave oeen
thrust upon Senator John H. Mitch
ell by his confreres in the senate,
testily with more lorce 10 nis sig
nal abilities, than could columns
of laudatory comment. Panegyr
ics on statesmen are about as tire
some as epitaphs on tombstones,
and as a rule, even less truthful,
and therefore are regarded with
susnicion and skeptcism: but when
a man has benn selected to ar
range the committees of the sen
ate of the United States, the com
mittees lhrourh whose hands all
the legislation of the country must
pass, and by whom all proposed
legislation must be considered,
when a man has been selected to
perform such a task, out of all the
distinguished men who adorn that
bodv with their experience and
wisdom, no more convincing testi
monial to his impart ality, wisdom
and the esteem in which he is held
could be given or asked. And the
manner in which he performed
that delicate dutv confirmed the
wisdom of the senate's selection
Amidst the clash of conflicting in
terests and desires of the different
senators, he made the assignments
with such tact, with such manifest
propriety, with such consideration
for all the senators and, the differ
ent sections of th'j' country, that
there was not a single objection,
not a dissenting voice, when it
came to a ratification of his action
"On March 4th, 1897, Senator
Mitchell will have concluded his
third term of service in the United
States senate. He is today as alert.
as industrious and as sound, physi
cally and mentally as he was when
he first entered the senate, twenty
three years ago. In accordance
with the law of nature he is prob
ably not as vigorous physically,
as he was a quarter of a century
ago, but if he has lost anything in
vigor, his vitality in those days
must have been' wonderful. Dur
ing the present session of congress
he has worked an average of fif
teen hours a day, some days more
and some days less, but striking
about that average. He dictates
almost everything to his stenog
rapher, and seldom makes a cor
rection after the first dictation.
His great speech on the Dupont
election case, considered to be one
of the finest legal arguments ever
made in the United States senate,
was dictated at odd moments dur
ing the course of three or four
days. This is the way in whioh
mo5t of his speeches are prepared.
He never neglects one thing for
another, it he can psssibly help it.
His popularity among the people
of Oregon, is largely due to the
fact, that every man however low
ly, however obscure, has consider
ation at his hands. There is no
letter addressed ro him from acon-stit-ient,
however trivial, or unim
portant in its nature, that does not
receive his-personal consideration.
'They are all equally my constitu
ents,' he says, 'and as such, have a
right to my Pttention and consid-'
eration.' v -
"Senator Mitchell first took his
seat in the senate at the United
States on March 4. 1873, being then
37 years of age. Six years before,
he had fallen one vote short of ob
taining the same honorable prize,
in the republican caucus.
"There were giants in the senate
in those days. The young senator
from oreS'i found hi'.'self pitted
against such men as Chas. Sumner,
Roscoe Colliding, Haim ble Ham
lin, the elder Cameron, Oliver P.
Morton, Mat Carpenter, Zach
Chandler, and .John A. Logan, to
say nothing of John Sherman, Al
lison, Thurman, Ingalls, Edmunds,
Boutwell, Bayard, Windom and
many others.
"The young senator, in those
days, and especially the young sen
ator from the 'wild and wooly'
west, was supposed to keep him
self very much in 'he background,
and to content himself wi li ilr:,'--ing
in wisdom Ir. ia iih ;h
seniors. Such enforced subjecti--did
not sit well on a man of the
nervous energy, of Mr. Mitchell
and he chafed under h Wi'. v h.ch
he finally bioke si! ir :i ,. hi
had not been j'i Id - . e'
mouths betore he took the venera
ble traditions of the senate by the
ears and actually made a set
speech. It was on a resolution,
offered by him, providing lor a
commission to investigate the dep
redations of Indians in Oregon.
In it he made a stirring appeal for
the hardy settlers who had suffer
ed in the Modoc and other Indian
wars. He reviewed the atrocities
of -which the Indians had been
guilty, and how lhe settlers had
b?en compelled 16 take upon them
selves the duty of the government,
expend money and offer up their
lves in defense of the lives and
properly of the people of Oregon.
"In the next session, he did a
much more daring thing. He
crossed 6words with John Slier
man, a veteran, even in those days,
and the latter remembered the
rencontre for some time. The bill
for The Portland, Dalles & Salt
Lake Railroad was up, and Sena
tor Sherman interrupted the read
ing of it with a motion to table,
speaking of .it contemptiously. It
was a discourtesy,, and Senator
Mitchell resented it with a vigor-
osness which must have shaken
some of the old senators out of
their chairs. He said:
" 'It the senator from Ohio is
the senate of the United States,
then the bill canu; t pa s; but I
think that common Courtesv, at
least, if nothing else, from the
honorably senator from Ohio,
would prevent him from rising, in
his seat, and interrupting t. e read
ing of a bill, that has been report
ed by a committee of the senate
and reported favorably; I sav.
without any discourtesy to' the
senator from Ohio, that I think
common courtesy to the represeu
lalivesfroiu Oregon here; common
courtesy to this senate; com::inn
courtesy to a 'people who today
occupy a territory larger in extent
than all' of New Lnriand, New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Ohio combined; a people that to
day ship more wheat to the port of
Liverpool, more Wheat per capita.
five times, than all the wheat grow
ing states of the. Mississippi val
ley; common courtesy would re
quire that t tie bill, at least, should
be allowed to be read.'
'It is hardly necessary to say
that the bill was read, and that the
senator from Ohio made his ex
cuses. 'It is easy to find even in this
first session in t ie written recor s,
evidence of the same zeal, the
same unflagging industry, the same
regard for the interests ol'hislstate
for which he has since become dis
tinguished. It was an up-hill bat
tle in those days to secure any
recognition for the North Pacific
coast in the appropriation bills,
but he fought it regardless of the
odds. He never lost an opportu
nity and nude a good many iu ad
dition to those made by others, to
champiort the interests of the
hardy people, who far away from
railroads, cut off in a measure from
the rest of the world, were engag
ed in turning a wilderness into a
splendid abiding place for man.
"In the 43rd congress Senator
Mitchell succeeded in establishing
a standing among his compeers,
and when the forty-fourth met, he
was honored by being made the
president pro tempore an unusual
number ot times, probably more
or at least fully as many times as
anv other senator. He made a
masterful speech during that con
gress in tavor ot tne Hawaiian re
ciprocity treaty, a measure the
wisdom of whiVh, has been justi

For yonrrrotcction. Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or bath, -which are injur
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is a local, not
a blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, eais and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re
sults of catarrh will follow ; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. The remedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles "and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, 50 cents.
