congressional corcmivtee, ca'.M the editor
of this paper a papsueker. 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

some quarters, uu me mouurr iu

handled bv Mr. T .ugae, but e are of
tho opinion that this can be charged

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

man he claims to have nominated and

e be.ieve that the voters
tf the district trust Mr. Tongue
and ilia: lo govd reason exists 'or turn

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

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.

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

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. Probably a) an im-
meJiate effect ol tbe receipt of news of;
ths abandonment ot Spionkop by tbe
B -it ith force und;r General Warren, or
ders baye !een seut t J Aldersbot to have
tbe Fourth cavalry division in read in ass
to embark for South Africa early in Feb
ruary. 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.

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.

irregularities, by headache, nervousness
and bearing-down pains, can be restored to
happiness and health by Dr. Pierce's Fa

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

pective mother in a happy frame of mind,
and her good spirits are sure to be inher

It is very unusual for a regular physician of good reputation to publicly
endorse a proprietary remedy. We nave often heard of cases where doctors
h.u-e secretly prescribed Acker's English Remedy, but it is most gratifying" to
i .vcive tne following voluntary letter
fr tn C. F. Smith, M. D., the most
successful plivsicianof Olean, N. Y.:
Messrs. W. II. Hooker & Co..
N'ew York City: I wish to add my
professional testimony to the value
of your English preparation known
as Acker's English Remedy for Asth
ma, etc. In several instances, after I
have tried my utmost to give even
relief, I have prescribed your remedy,
and it has acted almost like a miracle,
not only relieving, but permanently
curiag every oue of tbe patients. I en
dorse the preparation as oue of the
most valuable additions to the prac
tice of medicine."
Such a frank endorsement as the
above is phenomenal. Coming from
so distinguished a member of tbe
medical profession, it carries with it
nu assurance which the public will be
cure to avail themselves of. It is rec
ommendations like this which make
it possible to give the broad guaran
tee that is a part of every sale of Ack
er's English Remedy for Coughs,
Colli, Asthma, Bronchitis and Consumption. It must either do all that is
il.iimed for it, or your money will be refunded. Do you know of any other
nitdieine sold on those terms? Do you know of any other medicines which
prominent doctors regularly prescribe in their own practice as being better than
prescriptions they write themselves ? These facts are well worth considering.
They are of especial interest to those with sore throats aud weak lungs.
