Mitchell's Friends.
Tin friends'of Hon. John H. Mitch
ell have not seen proper to assail th
character or Imputation of any of the
gentlemen named in connection with
the position of United States Senator.
Tlipy have no desire to do so, for they
recognize in such methods no advan
tage to the party or honor to tho State
But they will not be bulldozed or
intimidated by insinuations or threats.
At least they so state most emphati
cally. Those who have known him
.uost intimately and -longest seem to
be his most earnest admirers and
ardent adherents. Ther affirm, with
little show of contradiction, that he
was the most active, the most liberal
and tbe most successful Senator Ore
gon ever had in Washington; that
he did not use bis position to increase
his personal wealth that be did not
prostitute bis office as Senator frr pur
posps of speculation; that be never
neglected a duty he owed a constitu
ent, regirdless of tbo latter'a politics;
that he always bad time, and indicated
that it was a pleasute, to ibow atten
tion to any of bis constituents whe
chanced to visit the National Capital
while he was Senator; that he was
indefatigable and usually successful in
securing for Oregon her full share of
national appropriations; in short, that
he is a man of the people, works tor
the ppople, and is recognized by the
people as both a representative and a
friend. This being tbe view enter
tuined of him by his numerous friends,
it is pretty certain that uncalled for
and unprovoked slander and abuse
will on I) make them stand by him
morn courageously and devotedly,
while at the same time it will bring
down their indignation and wrath
upon his defamers, those who associate
ith and encourage them, and those
vbo expect to derive any personal or
puliiical advantage fromthd defama
tion. New Yokk, Nov. 10. The Tribunr
denies the charge of the Independents
that the Ulaine Republicans defeated
Davenport. It saym The Blaine men
coiiitiiuting a great majority of the
Republicans of the S'nto of New York
supported Davenj.ort loyally and zeal
oualy. They were foiled by the mug
wumpB. Every mugwump who re
turned drove off three Irishmen, who
honestly believed in the Republican
doctrine of protective tariff, who had
honestly voted for Blaine and who
believed (mistakenly of coarse) that
there must be some deception about
the Republican nomination of Daven
port when tbe Post and its free trade
gtng supported it.

Sample bottle free, and large bottles for

pound and a half was shown to a
"News" man ypsterday by Dr.
Jpssup. It grew in two hours in the
Doctor's garden on the corner of
Twenty-first and G. streets, The
edible portion is twenty-four inches in
circumference, wbila the stem was
about six inches in circumference.
The Doctor gathered several of the
same size, which were consumed by
himstlf and family. These cryploga
mic plants were not only larger, but
more delicate in flavor than any the
Doctor ever used before.
"You stole that article." Portland
News', "Yen stole that dispatch."
Portland Oregonian. "Yon stole that
item." Portland Standard. Th
above is a synopsis of a discussion that
has been going on for some time
among Oregon's metropolis papers.
For heaven's sake, cease it? What
did you fellows bay your shears and
paste pot for, if not to use? If some
one bad stolen your shears and paste
oyster-can, then yon would have bad
something to kick about Pendleton
"Tribune."
She Works for Her Living.
Commend ui to a girl of whom it it
sneeringly said, "sbn wors for a liv
ing." In her we are always sure to
find the elements of a woman a lady;
true we are not prepared to see a
mincing stepi a haughty lip, a fashion
able dres, or to bear a string of non
sense about young men and balls, the
new novels and the next party; no, no,
but we are prepared to bear sound
words of good sense, language becom
ing a woman, and to witness move
ments that 'would -not' 'disgrace an
angel.
You who are looking for wives and
companions, turn from the fashionable,
lazy, haughty girls, and select from
any of those who work for a living,
and never, our word for it, will you
repent your choice. You want a sub
stantial friend, and not a doll; a help
mate, and not a helpeat; a counsellor,
and not a simpleton. If you cannot
purchase a novel, you may be able to
take some valuable paper. If you
cannot buy a ticket to a ball, you can
visit some afflicted neighbor. B care
ful where you look for your wife and
when you choose. We know many a
foolish man, who, instead of choosing
the industrious ana pruderit woman for
his wife, took one from the fashiona
ble walks of lifp, and is lamenting his
folly in duit and ashes. He ran into
the fire with his eyes wide open, and
who but himse'f is to blame!"
The "Oregoninn" has fired its broad
tide of big guns, and John H. Mitchell
still lies. Ah soon as tbs smoke
cleared away, and the elements re
sumed their peaceful tine, the awaiting
and expectant thousands found that
tbe assailant's game bad escaped, only
a little powder being burned, while the
"Oregonian" was barely ablo to recover
from the concussion, and finally settled
down to the level of the "Poliee
Gazette" or any other scandal sheet.
Ex Senator Mitchell denies that he
ever wrote the letters attributed to
him by the "Oregonian," and peop'e
generally are surprised to find that
tbe "Oregonian's" threatened thunder
bolt has turned out to be only a con
tinuance of that persecution of the
Ex-Senator, which is characteristic of
tbe man whom Mitchtll caused to be
fired from the Portland Custom House
for treason to the Republican party in
Oregon. "Mprcury."
Henry Poor, ot Southern Oregon,
was examined before the TJnijfd
States Commissioner one day lastjpek
on a charge of forcibly driving pros
pective settlers off the public domain.
Poor, who by the way is not as poor
as the name would suggpst, held the
land'in question under a title from
the State, which land was acquired
under tbe swamp land act The com
plainant was of the opinion that Poor's
title was invalid, and accordingly pro
ceeded to locate a homstead claim
right on top of Poor's ditches, fences
and other improvements a fact that
resulted in the introduction of an ugly
looking shotgun into the case. After
hearing all the testimony in the case,
Commissioner Deady released the de
fendant, and allowed the matter to go
before the proper authorities at Wash
ington for a final hearing.
Irish wit never found happier ex
pression than in the followingwhich
we have just received from the Sou

when the latter aid: "You blow
Arab man's bead off, I RUppo'el''
"Faix," replied the soldier as he wiped
the perspiration off bis brow, "I'd
rather blow the head off a pet of
porter this minute than the heads of
half a dozen of the likes of ye."
A young man in Colusa county,

"The Daily News reiterates this and

The Miiitidi
Considerable ink is being devoted to"
the amendment of the Sta'e militia;
law. What does Oregon want with a
State militia law, anyhow? Wliy
should the lax-payers of Orogon pay
for trapping's and gilt edged swords
for dude militia officers to prance
around in like monkeys in yellow jack
ets'! If there was any use in the Sta'8
providing targets and powder, guns
and uniform for the defense of the
country, no ono would object.
Oregon has no need of a militia.
Let her Legislators j?ite" the ptfople
justice, and there will never be need
of them. If men at their own expense
desire to parade aroundtan red and
go'd, let them parade to their heart's
content If they want to burn pow
der let them buy it. Taxes nro high
enough now without increasing them
to support a standing army.
The militia laws heed amending
badly. They need amending so that
no county would be taxed to furnish
cigars and a beer hall at the tune of
S600 per year for a gang of men that
choose to call themselves a military
company. The way to amend them in
to wipe them off the statute books.
