DEFEAT DOES NOT CLEANSE.
It is customary and right after
ordinary political campaigns .to
remove all aspects of hostilities,
and recall no more the bitterness
of the strife. "Let the dead past
bury its dead," has been the
motto of victor and vanquished.
But the recent campaign has been
an extraordinary one, involving
matters that affect our dearest in
terests as citizens, and there have
been serious wrongs committed
by leaders that cannot be condon
ed simply because their cause has
ppne down to defeat ,
Mr. Bryan as well as his sup
porters, have resorted to forgery
and to slander of the living an.d
the dead, and their methods were
no more dishonest than their
cause. In the face of their de
cisive defeat they announce al
ready that they will wage another
campaign along, the same lines,
in 1900. They, themselves, matte
silence as to their recent exploits,
impossible. r
The letter published elsewhere-,
issued - by- Oregon- populists, and
' grossly slandering Mr. J. " Fred
Yates, of this city, will disgust
all honest citizens of this county.
There can be no decent defense
made, by its authors. Its. shal
lowness and transparent falsity
"'only reveals "the low intelligence
of the petty politicians and do
' not mitigate their' offense. -Although
the letter as publish
ed in the Astorian is dated at As
toria, it bears every evidence of
having been concocted in'Benton
county. For instance it goes on
to say "Yates promised Cleaver
that he would, give him three. or
four precincts in this county
in this way.
'This county'
could only mean Benton county.
It is known that several copies
of the letter were sent to Benton
county, and yet , Bryan leaders
lere allowed the libel to circulate
undenied. They are at least ac
cessories, "therefore, in the mat
ter.
It was but a part, however, of
the "skin game" sort of cam
paign waged here as . everywhere
else. The instructions sent out
from headquarters to Bryan fol
lowers, advising them to absent
themselves from McKinley meet
ings, while in itself childish and
a bit of poor political general
ship, showed the animus of the
Bryan managers. Countless other
matters could be recalled that
will rise to condemn certain local
politicians when they again seek
to come before the people of Ben
ton county, asking for their votes.
IT is definitely settled that this
nation will have no free silver
legislation, at least during Mc-
Kinley's administration. The
next congress, however, will have
important questions to settle and
matters that materially affect the
citizens of Oregon. Chief among
these is the Nicaragua canal and
every farmer in the state should
exert his influence, great or small,
to the furtherance of this enter
prise, liie completion 01 this
canal means a shorter., route to
the farmers' market, and higher
prices for his products. In this
connection it is pertinent to ob-
Iserve that one of the ablest and
Imost earnest supporters of the
zanal proposition, has been and
is John H. Mitchell. He has
lade this matter - a special study
md there is 110 better authority
in tne country on tne question
than the senior senator from Ore
gon., ' The farmers of the state
jwe1 it to 'themselves to see that
their representatives vote for the
return of Mr. Mitchell. This is
lot a question of sentiment or
Mitics, but of pure business.
AFTER-its . i organization, the
rst thing demanded, of the Ore
on legislature is the re-election
f Senator John- H. Mitchell,
he people want no more extend'
and expensive senatorial fights
at interfere with the business
law-making, Mr. Mitchell is
e logical candidate and the
poice 01 hve-sixths 01 the re
liblicans of Oregon. The sen
prial question should be settled
one ballot in joint assembly,
d then the whole time can be
Iven up to a rational discussion
proposed laws.
There is no good reason why
egon should not have registra-
laws, and there are many
bd reasons why she should.
e legislature meets in January,
pee the organization in Ash-
d of the" Oregon Registration
ague is timely and no doubt

he free silver campaign has
n waging for four years. The
gold standard campaign has
t carried - on for only . four'
bins. Herein we have an il-
jration of the mightiness ot
OUR HIGHWAYS. -
.. . , . ... .' ,-, . ' -.
Good roads are expensive, but
poor roads are more so. The
public highways' in Benton qotui-
ty are little more than a public
nuisance. They are impassable
for heavy loads in the rainy sea
son, and yet they are a : constant
dram upon the county treasury.
Farmers are forced -to 'hurry
their grain to .town after' -harvest
and must sell early to avoid stor
age and insurance. Prices are
naturally low then and,the heavy
forced unloading keeps them low.
In this manner alone the farmers
of Benton county have lost
enough in one year to build a
good system of roads in shape for
travel the whole' year. ;
As now managed,' what really
good work is done on a road is
almost useless, owing to neglect
in other places. ; A few miles of
good road dd not compensate for
ruts and holes further along. Our
present system is bad.
s -Each-, county should have a
general''"-' 'supervisor '""l '"roads--a
man with practical and scientific
knowledge in road building. Ap
propriations should be made from
the. general; fund; for town people
are benefited by good roads as
well as the farmers. Don't patch
poor roads, but build good ones
from the bottom up. "It is'the
least expensive method even tu-:
ally. The base-lirie'an&the sec,-'.
tion-line - '- roads in Multnomah
county illustrate this. . .
The road question should com
mand the. earnest attention of
our legislators, and the coming
session -. can dp-. mo .-better -work
man the passage 01 a good prac-J
tical, sensible road law.

are democrats, populists and rev
publicans,, and .some., .of whom.
were credited until recently witn
intelligence, patriotism and hon

Oregonian, forever lost. They
occupy about the same position

To-morrow is ratification day,, and McKinley men
expect to make Corvallis "howl." Owing to the
threatening weather many of the features planned for the
afternoon will be necessarily dispensed with, but the
foot ball game at 2 o'clock will furnish all that is need-'
ed of interest and amusement. Admission to the ganve
is only 25 cents, and there will be all the shouting that
one could wish.
At 5 o'clock the H. & L,. Band will give a concert
at the Occidental Hotel porch.
At 7 130 there will be a grand torch light procession
with lots of fireworks, and more features. All McKin
ley voters are requested to form at the Opera House for
parade . After the parade there will be a' mass meeting
.at the Opera House, where there will be- rendered an
excellent program of .short addresses, recitations and
music .
The committee desires it to be distinctly under

Mr. Yates intended to "doctor"
