Why, bless his little soal, he has drawn mors moaey as salary from the public treasury in three months than the editor of the Plaindealeb ever drew in all bis life. Tnia paper has frequently cabled at tention to the desirability am1 feajiabili ty of building a wagon road from Rose bnrg to the Bohemia mining district Lv way of the East Urnpqna river and one of its tributaries,; either Rock Creek or Steimboat. There is already a good wagon road with easy grades to the mouth ef Bock creek, and a number of persons who are familiar with almoet eyery foot of the conn try between the mouth of Rock creek and the Bohemia district assure os that there is no qnef tioo bat that it is possible at a reasona ble cost tooontiuoe this road to the mines. The Bohemia district . is fast coming into prominence as one of the richest mioiog districts in the Pacific Northwest, and as a large portion of the district is in Douglas county, Djuglas county people should take interest enough in the matter to open a road by which the mines could be reached from Roeeburg. There is little doubt but that a railroad will some day be constructed from tome point on the Southern Pacific into the Bohemia mining aud timber district, and there is no question bnt that the most practicable route would be op the Eatt Umj-riaa and S e-uulmat.

Just what would le jraiued by the people at large, y Viuning Mr. Tongue down, we are uuahle to see nor have we heard any one suits' auy bei:etil to bo gaiued by the change. Mr fanvueisa man of more than oidiuary ability and we bo lieve he is honest ii. hie efforts to honts. lv and ccuscientionny represent his diatrict. and wa hava no reason to be lieve-that either of the gentlemen men tioned to succeed him would do any bet ter. There hss been some dissatisfaction in some quarters, uu me mouurr iu which toe public patronage bus been handled bv Mr. T .ugae, but e are of tho opinion that this can be charged m are directly to 6ouie of the Self consti' luted m lingers of Mr. Tongue's interest than 10 Mr. Tongue himself. Circnm stances futced upon him a chairman ot the congressional committee, who has Duogled things tj such an extent that tiere is a rebellion in almost every county, and now that tninsa are in this condition, this self-constitutt d boss baa ei her thrown Mr. Tougue over for some one else, or has nt sufficient influence tj bold bis own county in line for the man he claims to have nominated and electel. Notwithstanding all this e be.ieve that the voters tf the district trust Mr. Tongue and ilia: lo govd reason exists 'or turn ing him down at this time for a new man without exuetiecce and with uo more ability than baa Mr. Tongue. Lots of people are wondering what will be the next d'.'Velopmeut iu the 1 aim mer-Ueer penitentiary e-asa. 1'e.e gen eral impression is that if the governor lets the matter rest as at present it will result in his political undoing. lolk County Itemier. On the contrary the giueral linprea- inn ia tfit thesr. if, nn rft?4Jitjri for the 1 nnf.rnnrl.l fnrther ilit.mfe tllA ftiilv Pltim mer story by giving it any further alten tion. There isn't a public officer from the president diwn to the lowest county officir who must not be prepaid to bear the s'auders and libels of his political and personal enemies from the tine be becomes a candidate noiil tho clote of his teim of office, and he is test fined for public life who can bear a ith the ere test fortitude and equanimity, tbe unjust criticisms of bis political enemies. An action for libel either civil or criminal never settled an) thine, at least where the controversy grew out of political matters. Of course it would be nuts for Governor Geer's political enemies if he should go into court and permit him' self to be bullied by a tot of jsck-legged lawyers, and have the case passed on by a jury of twelve men, half of whom would probably be of a political party which was aoxioua to bring discredit on a political enemy. We never yet knew a libel case which in any way grew cat of political matters, to resul: i -. anything bnt a bung jury, tbe jury t iding on political lines. Tho people iave faith in tbe honor and integrity cl Gov. Geer and the matter should be allowed to rest at that. That interesting historical magazine, the "Oregon Native Son," for January is on our table.

One of tbe most able and com prehensive articles on the early settle ment and primal government of Oregon yet written, is tbe contribution of Mr. Scott, editor of the Oregonian and pieei dentcfthe Oregon Historical Society, evidently written after deep research, without bias, this article will undoubted ly prove one of the foundation stones upon which the historical structure of Oregon will be built. The work under taken by tbe Native Son to publish tbe UDwritteo history of tbe original Oregon, and descriptive articles of the magnifi cent scenery, lakes and mountains of the Northwest abounding hereabouts, is de serving of much credit and show cf ap preciation.

Tne war odicn has just issued the following dispatch, from Spenrutan's ramp, dated January 25, 2:10 A.

General Warreu is of the opinion that Le .has rendered the enemy's posi tion uuteuable. The men ate splendid." London, Jan. 2G, 11:10 A. M. The war office hss just posted the following dispatch from General Bullcr, dated at Spearman's Camp, Thunday, January 25, noon : "General Warret.'a garrUon, I am Bur ry to say, I find this morning, bad in ttie night abai.doned Spionkop." London, Jau. I'tf General Culler re ports that the British casnaltic un Jan uary 24 were : Killed Six officers, IS( uou-coui mis sioned officers and men. Wounded Twelve officers aud 142 non-commissioned officers and men Thirty-one men missing. General Bailer's dispatch is dted Spearman's Camp, January 2ti, 10:35 A M., showing there has wen no delay in communications passing between Boiler and tbe war offke. Tho killed include Colonel Bu:hansn KlddtU, of tbe King's J Royal rifles. He served in the Niger war of 1SS1. It is not clear whether tbe casualties include those at Spionkop, or only those resulting from fighting prior to the Spionkop engagement. London, Jan. 20.

Bkrun, Jau. 2?. Souieof the papers here claim to bare a telegram from Pre toria saying that General Warren wsa enticed into Spionkop, where the Boers fell upon him ; that 17 of biscaonon were ciptureJ and that Bullet's hasty retreat over the Tugcla river alone t an eve him. The alleged Pretoria telegram adds that the British losses were SOO men killed and 1500 men weunded. Tbe dis patch comes through Brussels, aud does not receive mnch credence in this city. Loxdox, Jan. 27. The defenee com mittse of the war office met this after noon, Lord Salisbury presiding. There are reiterated rumors that the gravest kind of newa from Natal is being con cealed by the war office- It is even said that Boiler' force) " in full retreat. New Yo; k, Jan. 17. Diepatcbee from London say t'aat the military experts, newspapers and people in the street take a gloomy view of tbe situation on the Tugela, it being lhe general belief that Bailer's danking movement bas failed as completely as bis fron'at movement oj last month. The idea p.evails that tbe war office baa bad newa which it ia keep ing from tte public, and that tbe list of casualties which was given out yesterday does not cover tbe losses of Geceral Warren from the "the annoying fire," tpoken of by General Bailer. Since the flanking movement began January 10, General Buller bas reported GO killed and 5'JS wounded and CO miss ing. It is remembered bow bis casualty list grew from day to t'ay after tbe de feat last month, and it is fared the losses of tho pact few days Lave been frightful. Buller is criticised for tbe form of his message, which reads as though he was trying to saddle tbe blame for defeat upon Warre.i. Tbe new British reverse is likely to lave a disheartening effect upon the be' leagurcd garrison of Ladyamitli, but for whom the campaign would have been conducted on a veiy different plan. Let ters written when tbe siege of Lady etc ith begun Were very eanguine. A letter written about middle n f De cember said tbe besieged had rations for six weeks, and occcrdioi; to all reports, tbe lond question mut be pressing. Tbe latest message from Ladygmith reported 12 deaths in one day from enteric fever and dysentery. Lord Roberts, at Cape Town, has been almost forgolteo in the excitement oyer tbe fighting at the Tugala. Roberta ia in no way responsible for tbe operations for tbe relief of Lj iyamith, for they have been oonducted under advices from tbe war office in London. It was said some time ago tint Roberts favored leaving Lad.vernitii to its fate and marching on Bloernfontein, the capital of the Free State. It is understood that Robert advices indicate there Hill be l'uhtin in tbe western district soon, the British Armies haviui! been reinforced and tho plight of Kiiiiberiy teing urgent.

Robprts. POPULAR VOTE FOR SENATOR. Governor Geer's Opinion and Hla E timate of Oregon Sentiment. Salem, Or., Jan. 25. In answer to a request from the New York Herald for bis opinion of the sentiment iu Oregon regarding the election of Unhed States senators by popular rote, and alro for his own opinion on the same subject, Governor Geer today sent the following message : "Salem, Jan. 25. The Herald, New York : I have a regard almost amount ing veneration for the system of govern ment handed down to us bv the. Revolu tionary fathers, nod, until recent years have been opposed to any chnngfl in the manner of electing United State eena tors. Bnt experience during thelatt de cade in the legislatures of many states indicates a growing tendency towards combinations and selfish schemes that not only often thwart the will of the peo pie, but frequently prevent any electi-i stall. Besides, these protrae'rd strug gles operate to interfere with much needed legislation, and, nince they are of increasing frequency, there seems no remedy so effectual a) to provide for the election of senators by popular vote. Oregon has had more than its share of these wrangles, considering its popula tion and age, and with tbe experience of one deadlock, resulting in no election, necessitating an extra session ; another tiuiiliar oue which obstructed legislation until the last hour of the session, and two years later a failuie to organize tbe legislature at all during the constitution al limit, resulting iu no stale legislation, but oue senator in congress for two yeare and another extra session to supply both these experiences have brought the people of Oregon in my opinion, to that point where 95 per cent of them are in favor of electing United States senators by the direct vote of the people.

The happy woman, sad to relate, is rare. Where you find one, yon nna a score weigh ed down with sick ness, weak ness and woe that nroceed from "female troubles." And yet there ought to be and can be a score of happy women to one who is unhappy. Those women whose lives are saddened bv the drains upon the system, by prolapsus, by irregularities, by headache, nervousness and bearing-down pains, can be restored to happiness and health by Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription, a medicine that is be yond question the best in the world for disorders of the womanly organs. Every ailment that besets the girl, the bride and the mother, between puberty and the "turn of life," 13 cured by it. It keeps the pros pective mother in a happy frame of mind, and her good spirits are sure to be inher ited by the little one when it comes.
