GRAND jm. jm. m&r JL. a Lincoln County will make the Eagle Scream at TOLEDO OREGON, JULY Grand Patriotic Celebration ..AN ... M Great Feast of Clams ANE i ecue tor am COMMUNICATED. Editor Leader : In your valuable paper iof the 10th. inst. I saw an article written by Mr. A. L. Chitwood in answer to an article written by me at an earlier date. Great minds always differ, and Mr. Chitwood and I differ on tile way to clear up this country and get it so wetfcn keep stock, which is the natural resource of this county. I have tried Mr. Chitwood's way and can say it is alright if a man wants to only keep a milk cow. But ye scribe wants to see stock raised as a pay ing business, and to do this we have got to got the range cleared up and sot to grass, and the only way is to burn and sow grass seed. If we had followed the example of our dark skin brothers we could now be able to keep thousands of goats and sheep instead of just a few as we have now. I havo been told by old pioneers that the foot hills in the Wil huiict'o Valley wlin thu iliot cuiuu there was all covered in grass, that is now covered with a thick growth of grub oaks a.nd fir, and they claimed that this worthless brush was kept down in the days of the red man by tfiem setting the grass a fire and burnihg it off. I have chopped and had chopped this spring be tween 40 and 50 acres of heavy brush and killed as much more light brush with fire, and I calculate to keep this up until I can keep between fivo hundred and a thousand head of sheep, and hope to see the day when every rancher can do the same. Yours for prosperity II. S. Pouter Nortons Ore., Juno 21, 1898. Grand Barbi The Corvallis papers bewail the fact that a large number of the sovereign voters of their countv were in the market with their votes at the recent election. The papers should not be surprised. It was only the legitimate results of two well known laws. One was, in l the language of the republican ora tor, tue uresnam law, which gov erns supply and demand. There was an urgent demand for a vote that could be purchased, and the offerings were simply the "supply" coming forth in answer to the de mand. The other law was that of advertising. The papers of' Ben ton county kept constantly adver tising that there was boodle being used in the campaign, and the fel lows that are on the lookout for boodle come forth to see.

This is the way the Oregonian promotes peace and harmony in the republican ranks, after the election: "Republicans of Oregon have closed Mitchell out. Next, they will close out his pinchbeck imita tion and cheap understudy, Mc Bride. Republicans of Oregon want and will have men who stand for principles, not for expedients to get office; men who stand for the legitimate purposes of party, not for the little selfish schemes of fac tion." It must make the friends of Sen ator McBride feel good to see these attacks upon him, simply because he does not bow down to the dicta tor of the republican party of Ore gon Joe Simon. It's unfortunate that the people of Lincoln county should be so short sighted at this critical time, as to let the control of our county gov ernment pass into the hands of the Populists. Yaquina Bay News. The Republicans have had con trol of the government of Lincoln county since its organization and and the business has been conduct ed in a most unbusiness like man ner, and instead of the "Populist" county court being a calamity to Lincoln county, the people of Linn county, who have been under Pop ulist control for two years and will be for two years more at least be lieve it will be the greatest blessing ever bestowed upon our sister by the sea. Albany Press. It is reported as probable that Col. W. J. Bryan arid the Nebraska regiment under his command will be assigned to the army corps com manded by General Fitzhugh Lee. War department officials were reti cent about the matter when ques tioned, but there is excellent author ity for the statement that the as signment will be made. THE NEW ISSUE. The World published news Wed nesday that was most significant of the future policies of the Democrat ic party. In Omaha Mr, Bryan came out squrely against the annexation of the Philippines. At the University of Virginia, a creation ot the founder of the Dem ocratic party, an eminent anti-six-teen-to-one Democrat, James C. Carter, lifted up his voice in solemn warning against the glittering and tempting dreams of "empire" and called for a renewed pledge to the faith of the fathers. In Washington the caucus of Democratic Representatives pledged tO that faith, 1U uCCiuiiig to oppose Hawaiian annexation even at the cost of estranging the free-silver Republicans who have been so ar dently and so self-interestedly lob bying for it. However resolutely men may struggle, destiny will shape the is sues on which political parties align. The issue that seems to be shaping oeneatu tne smoke ot this war is the issue of the traditions of the fathers, of Washington and Jeffer son, and of Lincoln as well, against the new dream of empire that would saciifice all, including liber ty and democracy, for the doubtful glorv of ruling remote islands and alien races. New York Woild. The political plums have about all ripened and been picked for some time. There is one left in the tree, however, and it is getting about ripe and ready to be picked. This is the office of collector of cus toms for the Yaquina district. The present incumbent's term will ex pire at an early date, and there are several persons that have their eyes turned longly toward that plum. Who the lucky aspirant will be is not yet known, but it is rumored that Charley Crosno will likely re ceive the coveted prize. Crosno was the chief lieutenant . of Con gressman Tongue in this county in the recent campaign, and to say the least he did hard and strong work for him, and if he does not get his reward somebody is going to be dis appointed, to say the least. Still it is not at all safe to surmise what the Oregon delegation in congress will do, or who they will recom mend for office. In several cases they have demonstrated their love for some of their local leaders by promptly turning them down, and this may occur again when it comes to the appointment of a collector at Yaquina. It may turn out to be some dark horse that will come out ahead in the race. i Wheat dropped ten cents a bu shel within two days after Geer was elected governor of Oregon, and not a single democrat or Pop ulist paper has declared that it was caused by the election of Mr. Geer. And we candidly submit however, that if Mr. King had been elected governor and wheat had fallen ten cents in price within six months thereafter that every republican pa per from the Oregonian down to the Yaquina Bay News would have been howling that King was the cause of it, and that the only way to raise the price back would be to elect a republican governor. The Oregonian unwittingly gives a fair example of the manner in which voters stayed at home on election day. In six counties which it names McKinlcy got 7,413 votes, while Geer received 7,020 votes, nearly 400 votes less. In the same Bryan received 11,287 votes and King 7,335 votes; indicating, not as the Oregonian says, that there was a change, but that 4,000 silver-reform voters stayed at home. Dr. Mile" Pain P11U.
