Tim. W. Davenport, Democrat, phil osopher, fanner, (and father of the gon ial and famous cartoonist, Homer Dav enport,) is disturbing the heritage of ease and comfort that is rightfully hi bv reason of honorable age and the fit reward that accrues to a life well spent, and endangering the strenity of his placid existence at Silverton by hunt ing around for something to write about He is, withal, a good writer, a lucid writer, and as a rule his contri butions to current literature are worth the reading because of his capacity to think and of a faculty for consecutive expression after he has done his think ing. But we are driven to the unwel come conclusion that the Marion county sage has reached the limiation that come with age and an exi-tence sur charged with ease and liesure. His last letter, published in the Ore gonian of Wednesday, anent the breath of constitutional law committed by Claries W. Fulton in accepting the nomination and election for and to the office of United States Senator while he was still a member of the Oregon Legis lature, is the case in point from which we adduce confirmation of our conclu sion as to his literary infirmity. After two solid columns of prelude, that reads like a chapter from the moral edicts of Confucius, (a necessary predi cate, perhaps, for the idle and far fetched accusation with which he closes his letter,) he inform the wondering world that the only man on the official representative roster of the State of Oregon who is too clean and wholesome and straight forward to have been im mersed in the shameful pool of public prostitution in which every one of his colleagues has found political death and the state its culmination of disgrace, is guilty of a violation of his oath of office, and his obligation to the Constitution of the State, because, forsooth, he took up the honor of the National Senate that was cast at his fee by people and col leagues who believed he was the one man able enough and deserving enough to carry the standard; and this after two years of service has proven the cer tainty of their judgment. The people were forced to go to the legislature for a man with brains and mental brawn to represent them in the largest field of governmental operation they could not find what they wanted in Kilverton nor, in Portland; they chose, it from in available source one that fur nished a man already in evidence as an able public servant, and having found the proven man, called him "up high er." could not he expected to resign upon an intimation! that he might I cliosen senator; that would have been an as sumption that would have made hint ridiculous; he had the constitutional right to aspire to the more exalted of fice in common with every other nmn in the country; that he lent hi indi vidual aid, by anti-election promiM-s. contracts, negotiation, or gave nronal assurrance of reward to any person for support in the content s-t afoot by those solely charged with the duty of naming a Federal Senator, i simply the biased statement of Mr. Davenport unsupport ed by any uWimnt otlicial inquiry or determination; he did not have to re sign the post and dutie of the state senatorship until the election to the greater 'office had been consummated, and then he did resign, and went to his loftier sphere cleanhanded and has main tained hia trust irreproachably to the present moment. His was the experi ence of hundreds of men before him; he is not the ony mau who has taken the splendid prize 'from the very center of home legislative environment, in this state and all the other commonwealths of the country; the aumptin that he should have resigned from the Ore gon Senate upon the first breath of rumor that he was likely to be named for Congress, is as silly as the conclu sion that he should not have lent a dignified and knowledgeable acipiiesence to the plan in order that those engaged in it might know their work would not be futile. There has been an unending scramble and search for something with which to besmirch Mr. Fulton ever since the ap pearance of Vnited States Attorney Hcney in Oregon and the program of disclosure he brought with him and un folded so successfully; (not that that gentleman lent himself or his office to the dirty work of contamination) . by way of reprisal on the part of those caught in the criminal net and by their friends on the outside of it; and the screed of '"Uncle Tim" is either in line with this implacable design (and to which he is contributing), or it i a sort of first gun in the campaign of his friend and fellow-farmer, ex-Governor T. T. Geer, who has an eye on the vacancy in the National Senate, or lastly, it is a late remembered thesis to which the venerable ex-Sate Land Agent has lent himself for the indulgence of an hour otherwise unemployed and dull to the point of stagnation. 0 There is hotel-talk in the air. It is heard on all sides and some of it has a definite ring. Suggestions are rife and interest in the important topic is grow n. It is expected that the Chamber of Commerce at its meeting on Novem ber Cth, will have something tangible to present in this relation and every citizen who can, should be in attendance to urge and aid the project. 0 TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS.

Some people at fifty call themselves old, and really appear so, while other at seventy seem active, vigorous and young. A reporter of the Antorian happened in the store of Charles Rogers, our local druggist, the other evening, and this subject was brought up. Said Mr. Rogers, "It is a fact and we see it il lusrated every day right here In As toria. It is not years; old age does not begin at any set time, but it i lo of vital force that makes a person old. A severe sickness, weakened digestion, thin; blood, or pr circulation starts vitality on the wane and then a ierson raipidly ages. "tm the other hand," continued Mr. Rogers, "if the people of Astoria only knew how our csl liver prparation, Vinol, wards off old age, we would not have clerks enough in our store to sup ply the demand. "You see, Vinol contains the vitality making, body-building principle of cod liver oil, but without a drop of the "-ystem-cloggicg oil. It strengthen di gestive organs, makes rich, red blood, repairs worn tissues, checks the natural decline and replace weakness with strength. "One good customer of Vinol, who i twenty-eight J'enr of nfcn, ay r would not ake $1000 for the good it ha done him, ami we wish every aged per son in Astoria would try Vinol on our guarantee to return money if it fail."

I tried at least eight different doctor, bat none of tbem teemed to da me any good, a my band were a bad when I got through doctoring a when I first began. I also tried many reme dies, but none of them ever did me one cent' worth of good. I waa discour aged and beart-aore. I would feel ao bad morning when I got up, to think I had to go to work tnd aland tho pain for ten hours, and I often felt like glv Ing up my position. Before I started to work morning I would have to wrap every finger up separately, to a to try and keep them toft and then wear glovet over the rags to keep the grease from getting on my work. At night I would have to wear glovet In bed. In fact, I had to wear glove all the time. But thanks to Cuticura, the greatest of all great skin euros.
