UNITED STATES SENATOR. Until the people of the United States learn to exercise Rcod businrrs ente in politic! ai well as in ordinary every day traattctioni they will r.ot succeed. A etas in bonnets does sot stop to en quire what a nian' personal opinions art on etbica when be wants good ser vice in hit business. 11 is only question is: la be a good and faithful worker? If the applicant for work ran furnish tatUfactory evidence that be is & good and faithful workman, the employer doea not caie a bean, if a farmer, whether the applicant takes snuff, drinks soda water or a little wine for his ttomach'a rake, or eschews thein en tirely. Neither does a banker care whether bis accountant ntes a gooee qnill, steel pen, or a cold pen in keeping hit accounts. What he is concerned in is good service. So the people in chooirjz a man to represent them in the United Statu eenale anonld enquire into tne man s abilitr, honesty and faithfulness to isrre them there, and, with all. hi skill and experience in that line oi work. All these John H. Mitchell ha; proven himself able and competent to perform by his long service in th senate o! tbe United Sta'es. His r:ews on the cor rency qcestiorj, however radical, have been settled by tbe voice of the people for at least 4 years ; in those views Mr. Mitchell acquiesces. He stands upon tbe EL Louis platform fair and square indorses every plank yields bis indi vidua! opinion to the bebes: of the popa lar will on tbe financial qnsslion. Ut if, and always bas been, with the people on the tariff, internal improvements, in eluding tbe speedy construction of tbe Nicaragua canal. He wields a marked influence in tbe national senate and is fitted by reason of his ability and ex perience to do Oregon mare good than any new man the state can send to the senate. Give us John II. Mitcbei). He ia the people's choice. Remember this, politicians and stand from ncder the coming thunder clond. C. H. FISHER AGAIN. Last Thursday, witbont that ccmpunc tion of conscience that u;uallv actuates a man of honor, the Review editor reiter ated a batch of falsehoods relating to tbe editor of the Puusdealir's private busi ness evidently designed to injure the Puusdzalxx'e standing before tbe pub lic Each a course no man Jcf respec tability will stoop to unless driven to; it in self defense, and that is the excuse for lifting tbe veil of some of G. H. Fisher's private affairs, that he may see himself ai others him. There is a mortgage on Mr. Fisher's home for 11000. That accounts, according to his explanation, for his paying on assess ments for debts as much, within fl4, as W. F. Benjamin. Tben as to a debt on the PukLSDtALzn not yet due, it is not half what the Review owed, uot long since, to Mrs. A. TV. Compton, who rather than tell tbe Review on fore closure, compromised the debt long past due by taking depreciate! town prop erty at a pecuniary loss to her, because she says, she was fearful a tale of tbe Review would not begin to repiy ler, and ratber than have trouble she settled for property when the needed casb. Now, she says, the Fishers an trying to cheat he out of a portion of t' at property taken in liquidation of her mortgage on the Review. But Fijher, poor thing, can't help it. He is non compafl since a citizen t'rolte a csne over his bead, knocking out what little fence ha bad for pntili-htrtg lies about him and meddling with bis private affair?. If Mr. Fisber continae-i to medd o with people's private business he may meet another Brockway one of these fine days. The State tax levy this year as died by tbe board of equalization, is four mills, just about double what it ought to be. At two mills tbe revenne for state purposes woald amount to $230,553,94. If the legislature will cut down all need less expenses, such an those several com missions and tbe appropriations for the state agricultural fair, tbe btate uni versity, tbe normal ecboile, the chari table institutions, the fees for secretary of state, tbe legislature clrk nuisance and tbe salaries of many of the officials, tbe above sum would be sufficient. If tbe editor of tho Review thinks hie window panes aro broken by etoucs from the pLAJNDEAtLK, be can console him self by reflecting upuu tho old adage that, Tbey who lite iu glass liouees should uot begiu to throw stones. SALEn LETTER. Salem, Or., Jan. 10, 1S97. Editor Plain-dealer: The members of the legislature which convenes tomor row are about all here, and tbe corridors and lobby of the Hotel Willamette (the Chcmekete of other days) aro crowded to their utmost capacity with lobbyists and place sodkots. For every position within the gift of the legislature there aro many applicants, to say nothing of the lady clerks. The absorbing topics now, how- ever, aro tli9 seniitorship and the speak ership. 1 in admitted that the presi dency of '.1 o senate uill go to Joseph Simon, senator from Multnomah. In fact, it is authoritatively Mated that the other aspirants have withdrawn from the contest ami for thi will undoubt edly gtt good committee place. Tho contest for speaker will probably narrow down to Riddle, Bourne and Benson, with the i-hanres at prcront apparently in favor of Riddle, nutwitbstandii g the opposition to him, r rather the friend of other candidates, ray tliore is defee tion in lus own delegation. liourne is actively proeet-uting his canvass, and strati as it mar seem a few rrp'ililicans are disposed to favor him. The claim is put forth that he is a republican and the republicans will nerd him in tho future. If a man must bo kept in a position of trust and responsibility in order to keep him in the party, the sooner he goes out the tetter for the parir. Mr. Bonnie's management of tbe campaign last spring came very near being a dismal failuto, especially In the firht tor gressional dis trict, and in tbe fall be was an active Bryanite. How much r a republican, let me ark, wcnld he 1 if Mr. Bryan bad bapiened to have been elected? No, the piincii-les which Mr. Pourne holds most dear are antagonistic to the declared policy of tho republican party of the Ftate and nation and he ought not to be made ipaker of a rernblican house. Senator Mitcbei), it is said, will for swear bit allegiance to the canfe of free siher and stand squarely upon the St. Louis platform, and tor the preeervation of tbe gold standard, except by interna tional agreement. This comes so late that it cannot escape the imputation that defection of tbe populists baa caued it. I think Senator Mitchell will be re-elected, tut ii would have been much easier for him had he made a pub lic declaration in accord with tbe fore going two months ago. It ought not to be too much for a man who expected to do elected as a republican, by republic ans, to a position of high honor, to say that he was a republican, and the sen ator will have to come to it or fall be tween two stools. There will be a contest or two. The seat of Nosier, joint representative from Coos and Curry, will perhaps be con teited and ex-Senator Hatch of Pilk wi.l contest the eeat of Dr. Lee, of that county. There ia a little 4 inwardness about this which may be brongbt out during the investigation that will reflect no credit on some so-called republicans who heldthe reins in Jnne. It is well These matters are of public concern and the people shoulJ know who are friends and who are foes. The open to we can meet and combat ; but the ji;asin who subs in the dark is as a thief in tbe night . Long haie tbe people cried for re trenchments in public affairs and it ap pears that this body will endeavor to make a record in that direction; that is, of course, provided there is no senatorial deadlock to hold up needed legislation. Tbe state board bas made the tax levy for the ensuing year ou the estimated expense. The items before the mem bers. Can tbey be cut down? If so in what patticular, and the burden of taxa tion reduced to a minimum? First of all in the older of comment is tbe rail road commission costing 110,000 per year. There is a strong sentiment in tavcr of unconditional repeal. But such an act would remove all protection from tbe people against the railroads and they would be free to do as they pleased. There is alio a strong sentiment which will be supported by the governor in nis message in tavor oi one commis sioner, and he to be elected by the peo ple. This could be done and tbe total cost of tbe office need not exceed $3000 per annum. This would be lbs better plan. Protection would be afforded at a minimum oi cost, there are too many circuit judges. One iu the first district would be plenty. The district is not nearly as large as the second with only one judge. The.fourth could get along with two or three at tbe most. There are now four. The sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth districts, should be re duced one at least. Tho normal schools and colleges will have to make a fight for their accus tomed appropriations, and public insti tutions outside of Salem will have the recent decision of the supreme court that all public buildings must be at the cap! tal to contend with. Retrenchment is tbe ordeiand care will have to be taken that the other extreme is not reached and the public tervice crippled. Some people will ask fool questions. One Is: ''Why should the secretary of state pocket all the fees that come into bis office, and the state pay the salaries of the clerks that do tho work?" Here ia an item of over $5000 a year that might be looked after. And again why ehould the secretary pocket tbe fees at all. The constitution proscribes his salary and says '"he shall receive no feed or emoluments whatever." Further mote ho was elected upon a platform pledging its candidates to live up to tbo constitution in this particular. Many familiar faces are about tbe cor ridors, and some whom we have been accustomed to see are missing. This shall be the eubject of another letter. J. B. E. Not that we love efenalor Mitchell less but that wo love Oregon more, is why we favor his return to the United States i tenate. HOLD UP AT MYRTLE CREEK. January 7tb, a man kuown as Frank Hoit held up at Myrtle Creek station tbo agent, . L. Hoopengarner, and robbed him. as alleged in his complaint, of a $20 gold piece, a two dollar greenback and $23 iu silver, in all $45. When tbo robber at first demanded tlm agent's money, the agent, knowing the man, re plied, ''You are j .iking," whereupon Holt knocked the agent down with his revolver, indicting a severe wound on the head and then proceoded to relteyo him of his money, as etated above, aud left him unconscious. Upon regaining consciousuess the agent to!craphtd the sheriff hero, giving thu uatno and a de scription ot tno man. Holt, who was well known to the officials here, made his appearance In the city early Friday morning in Pokel'd saloon wheio he waa found and arrested. Aleo another man who was with him nns arretted aa John Doe, but gives hi namo as Robert Alton, wiitcn is probably an alias, o.ey were lodged in jail to await a pieliminary trial Monday. This Hoit Is well known to tbe citizens here and if the agent at Myrtle Creek will identify bitn in court he will doubtless get booked for tbe pen and be given a permanent job for a term of years. The above is as gathered from com mon roport, Tho following taken from tne lettimony ot witnesses at the pre liminary trial today before Jusilco Ham Iln, is substantially as follows: . L. Hoopengarner's testimony : I am station agent nd agent for Wells. Farg i A Co.'a exprees at Myrtle Creek Went to the office after supper at 0:45 January 7th, 1807, went into tho office, hlleJ my pipe aud while smoking the door was opened and a man came In dis quUed by a cloth over his face. Hh or dered ii e to open the safe and give him the money. I talked with him while worked the combination, recognized bis voice as thU of Frank Hoit whom knew. I tried to reasDn with him told htm the company would spend thousands of dollars to catch and punish him. He told me if I would give him tbe money be would not hurt me. Made me get down on my knees before the safe with my back toward him. While thus down he struck me on thn h-xd with Something. I found bu had tie advan tage of me so I thought bet 1 1 appear k lied. He took me by the band and dragged ma to one side toward tho bed room, my bleeding Lead striking on his leg aa ho walked dragging me. He dropped me, struck a matcb, looked around, felt of me to ee if my heart waa beating. Tbe match burned out he left me a moment. I immediately jumped up and sprung through ths door near by and pulled it abut after me While I was down he took from me t JJ gold piece, a t- greenback, yzs in silver and my pocket knife, my watch he put back in my pocket. I know that th-defendant is tbe man that robbed me have known him since July 4tb, ISM. CRCSS EIAM1XATIOX. Have no doubt of defendant being tbe m n who robbed me I recognized him both by bis voice and general appear ance. Defendant had a red rag over his face which he kept pulled down over his mouth. When it was up I could see part of his face, could see his clothing, recognized it aa Hoyt's, who was in the habit of frequently coming into the office to read the papers. Hoyt stock the pis tol In my face and demanded me to open the safe and givo bim tbe money. G. W. Lo:k testified: Reside two miles this side of Myrtle Creek. Am ac quainted with tbe defendant. Have known him about one year and a half. He came to my house about half past 7 p. m. He wanted to get a horse to go Roaeburg. I conld not accommodate him. My horses were out in pasture. Gave me a pair of pant! he was. wearing. Witness recognized the pants shown him as the ones Hoyt gave bim. Wit nets in cleaning tbe pants of mud dis covered there was blood on tbem and thought there might be trouble about it and so hung the pants up. Defendant told mo he hid had some trouble at Grants Pan in a hootiug scrape. De fendant took $2 from a cotton sack he had to pay my partner to take him to Roseburg. Witness identified the sack found on defendant when arrested. Robert Allen testified: Reside two miles tbis side o( Myrtle Creek. De fendant came to my home at 7 p. m., Thursday Jan. 7tb. He left a pair of pants with my partner, Mr. Lock. Came to Roseburg with Hoyt oa foot. He gave me two dollars to come with him. Dr. Bradley testified : Am a practicing physician of Roseburg was given two pair of pants to exam ine. I found blood on them. Can't tell so long after, but believe it is human blocd. CROSS EXAMINATION. Got the pants from the sheriff, recog nize these (pants exhibited) as those 1 examined. C. L. Gilvin testified : Keep sa loon in Roseburg. Defendant camo to my place Friday last about 6 or G:30a. m., seemed to have lotsjof money, paid me a little over $3. He owed rre money since Dec. 11, 1806. He paid that out of a cotton sack. R. T . Stephens testified: Am deputy elif '. Arrested defendant iu Poket's Ealjou Friday about 8 a.m. I found a pistol in his side coat pockt, 33 calibre I think, fouml numerous other articles on him, a ?L"0 gold piece, z $2 greenback and some looso silver and a pocketknife. When shown them, ho identified tho the pants he took from defendant after tbe arrest, also tbe knife. B. C. Agee testified. Am sheriff of DouglaB county. Witness identified tho pants worn by defendaut when arrested and also tho pair given to Lock the even ing of tbo robbery. Here tho state rested. Thu defendant waived his lawful right of making any statement. Whereupon the justice fixed his bunds at $1000, and uulil furnished the defen dant was ordered to remain in tho cus tody of tbo sheriff. Tales of Horror. New York, Jan. 8. A Key West dis patch to tho World a ay a : Evidence of awfui butchoriosatGuana- bacoa accumulate daily. Advices from Havana report that a great pit Glled with corpses aud humau fragments waa discovered Monday in a canofield, not more than a mile from that place. A caroful investieatlon revealed at least 20 whole bodies aud many more legs and arms, other parts of tbo dismembered bo ties being missing. Of the bodies romaining entire, four wero those of women, three of voting aadssea. one of a airl not more than 10 yoara old, four of boya, and the reBt of men. Permission to bury the remains was brutally refused, with a threat that if this slaughter was complained of, many more would be" added to what the Span ish officials called the "Cuban diet" pile, The edict refusing permitsion to re move furniture and other things unless asked for 24 bouts previously is taken advantage of by the Spanish aoldiera to wreck bujldinRi and revile and insult, if not kill, persons suspected of Cuban leanings. 4 Some families in the pooror sections of the city, who did not know of the edict, started to move Sunday night. After they had loaded their furniture on wagons, the poltce And soldiers tired on them, killing eight persons, including soveral innocent posiers-by. In tbe offi cial report it .waa stated that the troops had been attacked and several rebels had been killed. A girls' school near tho center of the toscn was entered by troops one day last week, and the principal, an elderly Cu-bin-bort. woman, very prominent, waa compelled to kneel to tbe officer in com mand and beg pardon for using (ransla Hons of text-books printed in the United States. Tbe girl pupils were insulted and rndely treated until tbe school waa broken up in disorder. A complaint to the commandant only excited laughter that "such a litle thing" waa complained of. Havana h moeh agitated by rumors of victory by Gomez' troopi, of the sue cessful crossing of the trocha into Pioar del Rio, and of several routs of Spanish troops. Uenral Wejler is execrated on every hand, but on account of the severe cen sorthip and Weyler'a system of spies, no one dares say a worJ aloud. Every one thinks Lis neighbor a spy, and little can be learned from any one. Spies by tbe hundred attend tbo open-air concerts and tbe teait dissatisfaction expressed i'b used as a pretext and the victim is thrust into Cabanas or Morro castle most likely cover to be seen again by friend or kindred. Scarcely a night passes bnt 10 to 20 persons disappear and every-ono knows what that means. Qave Her Riches. oan tRAJccisco, Jan. b. it is cur rsntly rumored that Mrs. Emma Spreck e's-Watson has deeded to Ler father tho balk of her property, voluntarily makin nerssii, comparatively Epeaking, a poor womai. Mrs. Watson consulted hei husband about tbe step before ehe took il and he gave bis unqualified consent. It Is said that before tbe wedding took place Miss Emma Spreckels informed her father that she wished to marry Thomas Watson. Claus Spreckels would not bear of it, 'and upbraided his daugh tor when she told tim ehe intended marry Mr. Watson, whether he liked or not. Persuasion proving rain, Mr. Claus spreckels ia credited with having resorted to taunts, chiding his daughter for her ingratitude and pointing out what he bad done for her. Yesterday Mrs. Watson told her hus band that sbo ought to deed back to her father all he had given her, including United States bonds to tbe amount of $1,000,000 and the property on Market street known as tbe Emma Spreckels building. With characteristic force, Mr. Watson is said to have told bis bride to do what she thought right in tbe matter; that he had not married her for what sbo had, but for herself, and that be would have married her long ago if she had b;en a poor girl and he bad been able to sup port her. 'This occurred at noon. Within an hour the property had changed bands. Wcyler to Stay In Cnba. Madrid, Jan. 0.

Tho mat ter is ono of tho very first importance, and cannot bo too carefully studied. Ono thing about it that may bo set down as truo i3 flint every man s advertising, m its language and style, should bo char- aclcristic characteristic of tho man, characteristic of his stock, characteris tic of his commercial position. For every man lias his peculiarities of devel opment. When ho speak3 vro know it is lie, though wo may not bo looking at him, nnd liia advertisement should rep resent lum liko hia voice. Ho should put hia experience, hia industry, his en terprise, into Ida advertising. It is as tonishing to see how merchants who aro tireless in their industry at the atoro early and late, closo buyers, eager seek ers after business, quick to embrace op portunities for enlargement of lines and extension of trade it is surprising to see how such business men continue their advertising in tho language of tho old rut, and announce in tho aamo words and tho samo typo that did duty for them years ago that "B. Franklin (or any other man, tho name doesn't matter) ia still to be found at tho old stand, with a choico stock of dry goods, notions, etc., etc." (The two etc.'s nro indispen sable in nn "ad" of this kind.) There is another and a better way to do: If a merchant has any snap, any energy, in himself, let him show it in his adver tising. If ho has any bargains in nra store, let him cay so. If he liaa connec tions which enable him to sell better goods, or tho samo goods at lower prices, than anybody else, let him say that; say it plainly, strongly and in a way that will carry conviction of truthfulness; and on tho same principle that leads him to treat visitors to hi3 storo so that they will call again, let him write bi3 adver tisement so that his Jtcxf advertisement will bo looked for; if you get a person a nttention onco try to hold it. The whole thing is summed npin this: Ono should study advertising as ho does every other department of his business. Advertis ing is a science, simple, it is true, as to its main clemcnte, but requiring moro thought and system than many of our business men have been accustomed to give it. Value of Changing Advertisements. Picking up an old journal the other day I found a statement to tho effect that n certain patent medicine firm had not (at that time) changed tho wording of its advertisements for thirteen years. Whilo I am a thorough believer in judi cious advertising I doubt if such adver tising as that would accomplish any good after a few months of publication. No doubt ninety-mno readers out of hundred would throw asido the paper at sight of tho familiar heading with tho exclamation, "The samo old story, Though publishers may save consider ably in composition bills by permitting adveriiie.ments to "stand in their col umns for a year or more, they must lose considerable in tho ill effect upon other wcnld be advertisers. It is to the interest of publishers that their patrons should find that "it pays to advertise, and those advertising col umns arc most attentively perused which are most frequently chanced. A publisher who allows an advertisement to stand without change in his columns for over three months is doing his own business an absolute harm. Advertise ments aro being looked upon as news, and as such thev should bo fresh and in- tcresting. Invito your patrons to make frequent changes in their announce ments. It will pay them, and this will have a reflex action npou vour own re ceipts. National Publisher and Printer.
