"Mr. llofer will prmbly secure
the Marion and Linn co-ity dele
gallons and will no doubt fvclup
strength in other counties. If is
a good deal the same style off
man us Mr. Hermann. He is a
forcible speaker and writer. Until
the lust legislature ? met he was i Jt
so well known in the district as
Mr. Hermann, but now everybody
knows Hofer.
"It is rcpoited that Col. Alley
will have the supjHirt of the stato
administration which .io doubt can
and will render: him c valuable as
sistance, but the fact that ho
was recently beaten for mayor
of Florence by a woman may do
him some injury where ho is not
well known. It promises to be a
neck and neck race between the
three, with Alley slightly in the
lead."
Henry Clews, the great financier
says: The restoration of wages,
which is gradually going on, is an
evidence of not only an improve
ment in business, but carries with
it the faith of employers that tho
change is of a substantial ami per
nianent character. Such testimony
comes from many mercantile in
terests, esisjcially cotton and wool
en factories. There are a larger
number of buyers of goods now in
New York than ever before iu any
previous month -of April. Every
section of tho couutry seems Ut be
proportionately represented, and
the buying is on quite an incruisctf
scale over what has been witnessed
for many months pn"t. This is
tlie reason why the jobbers in dry
goods, hardware, groceries and in
all other lines of trade teel so much
more jubilant than they have done
for over a year. People in trade
will soon begin to realizo as of old
that success begets success. It takes
a rett'i n of prosperity, however, to
bring it about, which is now gener
ally felt to be forthcoming.
Republican clubs throughout the
state are sending full representa
tions to the meeting in Portland
later this month. The managers,
who are in sympathy with the
Dulpli siuglo standard gold idea,
deprecate any expression of silill
cal views by tlw delegates, asserting
that clubs exist only to elect the
ticket nominated, then the bosses
can enunciate party policy, in
other words delegates can meet in
Portland, sit around like num
skulls, elect a few delegates, ex
press no opinion on the financial
and other national questions, then
go home feeling liko idiots. If
such a pr jgraui is carried out, a
revolt similar l.i that experienced
at the last legislature may be ex
pected. Times have como when
leaders, who do not represent the
vibws of the people, ran gain no
upport through cajolery a,.il party
prejudice.
the wall leans theghostof enterprise
since tho Hour mill scheme failed
to tiialeralize in Eugene. Hut we
have conlidcnce in the resuscitating
powers of tho business men of that
city, and soon the erstwhile dry
bones of progress will spring into
activity not to bo put aside. Per
haps our opinion is not well found
ed, but wc believe that all it wants
is a leader of men and means to
build a mill in Eugene.
Florence West: The "unraveled
condition of the promised Hour
mill at Eugene will prove a dies
nut as antiquated us thut of the
Astoria railroad, unless something
tangible comes to the front very
soon." Not quite so lull us that
Pro. Alley. Our new mill is now
1 under way of construction.

A natural Keeley cure is reimrted
at Ishpcmiug, Michigan, 'lhis is
a mining town and for months past
the miners have been preserving a
habit of sobriety altogether in dis
cord with the usual habits of
men of their class. Tho saloon
keepers offered drinks for a bit a
glass and increased the sizo of their
beer mugs until they would hold
almost half a glass of the amber
nectar, but it wouldn'ut turn tho
boys back. At last the secret leaked
out. The men had been drinking
from a spring discovered in the
mine, which is strongly impreg
nated with chloride of gold and be
fore they realized what was happen
ing to them they became thorough
ly Kecleyized. Now, if Damo Na
ture is going regularly into tin
business of snatching men from the
Moloch of alcohol, Dr. Keeley may
find his occupation gone.
A clergyman iu Cushing, Me., is
reported to have a unique way
of securing texts. He passed
around slips of paper upon which
the peoplu wrote various texts that
they would liko to hear preached
from. ' He then passed around slips
and asked a young lady present to
choose one with out looking. She
drew forth the text, "What think
ye?" upon which he preached ac
cording to the report, a very ex
cellent sermon. This method is
certainly unique, but wo admit an
old-fashioned preference for a text
selected early in the week, ar.d sev
eral days of thought and study de
voted to the discourse preached
