Newspaper Page TextV ' z . ' lasuttl Erery Friday Morning fey fke Gazette Publishing Co. g. W.JOHNSON,- Editor and Business Manager. CORVALLIS, OREGON, May 7, 1S97. Quit grumbling. Stop turn ing up your nose at promised prosperity. That is bad for the nose and does not worry prosper ity. But your grumbling does delay the onward march of good times. If you want to be mis erable, no law of man or nature can prevent it. But if you want to, keep it to yourself. Don't try to share something you have and like to have with people who do not want it. If you do," you are a nuisance and ought to be abated. Some people would rather have their own prophecies of evil fulfilled than have other men's predictions of good come true. This country of ours has been alive of late with "come calamity" croakers, whose po litical theories are proven false by the return of prosperity. They say they cannot see pros perity. Of course they can't. One can raise smoke enough to hide the sun in the brightest day. But the sun is not to blame. Prosperity is here. It is no an idle fancy, but an actual con dition. It will not make spend thrifts rich nor make good busi ness men out of poor managers. It will not return that which you have lost during the hard times. It will not turn back the hands of the clock. But it will give you a profitable mark et for your labor. It will give you a chance to pay your debts and earn a decent livelihood by your industry. Stop blaming the "lnouied powers' ' for your poverty. Take your Cleveland badges off the vinegar keg at the grocery. Keep your eyes open and . rustle. Stop raising a smoke and you will find the sun of prosperity shining for all of us. If Mr. Uren is correct, and he ought to know, the Oregon pop ulists who hold office are pecul iar in their corruption practices. He says that the populist mem bers of the legislature received from 3Uo to $80 apiece from the 'enemies of Mitchell," (i. e. Corbett) when Mitchell offered them from $2,000 to $5,000. As the fact that they took bribes at all, precludes them from claim ine: auy consideration of honor, it is evident that they were idir ots in not taking the larg amounts or that they lie in claiming that the larger amounts were offered. A locally-published leaflet, en titled "The New Dispensation," has been distributed. It is to appear monthly. It's purpose can not be learned by perusing it and the writer, indeed, disa vows any desire to lead or in struct. It breathes heavily of Dooulism " and discontent and seems to assert that human deni .zens of this earth are undergoing some mvstenous chanee in thoughts and actions. . It is a sort of "saw-an-airship" affair The taritt bill . has been re ported b' the senate committee, Senator Jones voting with the republican members. The vote to report stood 5 to 4. The bill will be called iip May 18th. The committee hvjs made some charge, but the bill, as it will be returned to the house, will not differ so radically from the original measure as newspapers with free-trade tendencies would have us believe. Mr. Hanna is evidently an unusually liberal man, as well as a prodigiously wealthy one. He has now, according to the democratic papers of the state, bought the populist party in Or egon and induced it to declare against future fusion. His ex cessive liberality is shown in the fact that he did not buy up the smaller faction of the fusion- ists. The earlier that Secretary of State Kincaid discovers that he is not the attorney general, the legislature, nor the supreme court, ths better it will be for "himself and the people of the state. He is certainly not gain ing public approval by magnify ing his official prerogatives. - Henry Corbett, in his attempt to be senator from W. P. Lord, presents the world with an un dignified spectacle. His cause is as hopeless as it is unrighteous and costly. The "Sick Man of Europe" is evidently not bed-ridden.

Granger. Wanted-An Idea WhA Mn thlole of some oimpla thing to patent? tm -. : . ,w mm The Ins and Outs of It. It you get best wear out of a coat, best work must h?ve gone into it. You can't get good . bread ' out of poor flour. Sl - - Moral : You can't get the best out of anything, unless the best is in it ; and the best has' to be put in before it can be taken out. Now, we have a rule to test those sarsaparillas with a big "best" on the bottle. "Tell us what's put in you and we'll decide for ourselves about the best." That's- fair. But these modest sarsaparillas say: "Oh! Ava' can't toll. It's a secret. ; Have faith in the label." . .'. . Stop ! There's one exception ; one sar saparilla that has no secret to hide. It's Ayer's. If you want to know what goes into Ayer's Sarsaparilla, ask your doctor to write for the formula. Then you can satisfy yourself that you get the best of the sarsaparilla argument when you get Ayer's. Any doubt left? Get the ' Curebook." It kill doubts but cures doubters. Address: J. CAyer JVlei?s' ShO0S!.AND purnishipg Goods. Up-to-date in Quality and Style.
