LIGHT EXCUSES.
The people of Oregon have been
curious to know- what Gov. Lord
would present, in his message, as ex
cuses for calling the special session.
Their curiosity has been satisfied
but their gullibility was not properly
sized up hy the governor.
His chief reason for calling the
twenty-day session is to stop ex
penses and to elect a United Stales
senator.. There aie other reasons
presented, but they ore too flimsy to
receive any consideration at all.
If Gov. Lord is honest in either of
the important excuses he offers for
his action, ii there is a particle of
good sense in calling a legislature to
gather a little more than ninety days
before the regular session, this action
should have been taken long ago.
The governor's message is enough
argument to convince any person of
that.
Gov. Lord should have told the
truth of the matter, and should have
stated positively that the session was
called to serve Joe Simon and to
elect Hon. II. V. Corbett. This is
unquestionably the facts. Joe Simon
really called the session and is en
tirely responsible for it. He led the
revolt two 3'ears ago and created the
necessity which Gov. Lord states to
be his reason for holding a special
session. Gov. Lord talks kot ! rot !
hot! He knows that he Is a servile
tool.
The people can congratulate them
selves, however, that the chances for
the success of the Simon-Corbett
scheme have been reduced to a min
imums. It is more than likely that a
good, non-partisan Republican will
be chosen, one who has steered clear
of our party rows. There are plenty
of good men who would grace the
senatorial toga. Then, there is no
use of electing a man who is by his
age rendered totally unfit for the sen
ate. The Chronicle believes that
the legislature has accepted this view
of the situation. In fact, the condi
tions at Salem point to a fair and gen
erous solution of the difficulty, which
will result in the election of a man
like Hon. M. C. George, The Chron
icle's candidate.
Mr. Mitchell's Albany letter sheds
new light on the situation as it ap
peared at Salem nearly two years
ago. At least, a majority of the peo
ple will gain information by reading
the letter which appears in full in
yesterday's Oregonian. It disposes
of one subject that the Oregonian
has been harping upon that he is not
a candidate for the United States
senate. The Oregonian has repeatedly
asserted that Mr. Mitchell was a can
didate and its advice has been
pointed. It seemed to fenr that Mr.
Mitchell would quietly rest bis case
till a certain period in the contest,
and then, hobgobbhn like, pounce
down on and capture poor, innocent
Joe Simon and Graham Glass.
The Oregonian says in an editorial
yesterday, referring to the much-talked-of
candidacy of Mr. Mitchell
for the United States senate, that
"Mr. Mitchell, ex-senator, tells the
public that he is not a candidate. He
makes a virtue o'f necessit'. This is
a good phislosophical spirit." Why
it has been lying all the time about
Mr. Mitchell it does not explain.
The Oregonian has come down off
its high horse and says that the" cau
cus is not "over-spirited." There is
no caucus to have any spirit, or any
thing else. It does not and will not
exist. People of Oregon are tired
of senatorial caucuses.
As a matter of fact, a good, sound
Republican will be elected at Salem
to fill the vacant senatorial chair.
But it is safe to say that that man
will not be Mr. Corbett.
PRESS COMMENT.
How many votes would H. W. Corbett
receive for United States eenator if bis
election depended on tho popular vote of
the people. Koaeburg f lamdealer.
Ex-Senator Corbett'a election is not
certain by any means. Both branches
of the legislature were organized under
a compromise. Mr. Corbett'a partisans
should hold themselves in a little yet a
while. Jfthev do not, thev mav be
overwhelmingly e id harassed before the
twenty days' term of the special session
of the legislature expires. There is
many a slip between the cup and the
lip. East Oregonian.
The supporters of the candidacy of H.
W. Corbett are employing the bull-dozing
game of claiming the certainty of his
election, in order to make the supposed
ly timid members think they must "get
into the band wagon" or get run over by
it. There is no aort of chance for Mr.
Corbett'a election, if those members,
who believe it would tie an injustice and
an outrage to their constituents and to
their own reputations, will only vote
their honest sentiments. Let no one be
scared or bull-dozed. Salem Statesman.
It ia expected that the Oregon legis
lature, which convened yesterday in spe
cial session, will elect H. W. Corbett, a
Portland banker, to the state's vacant
seat in the United States senate. The
Spokesman-Review has no approval for
that spirit which would shut the door of
public preferment against any honest
class of American citizenship. The cir
cumstance that Mr. Corbett is a ban'-er,
and a man of great wealth, is of itself no
objection to his admission to the senate
of the United States, provided he were
the possessor of qualities of statesman
ship which ought to be required of every
member of that distinguished body. No
toriously Mr. Corbett is lacking in these
qualities. In his case it is conspicuously
his money which makes the political
mare go. If he were shorn of his wealth,
he would not be a senatorial poeaibihty.
Mr. Corbett'a election would immedi
ately level Oregon to the plane of those
states which put their able men in politi
cal retirement in order to advance the
ambition of a mere money-grubber.

A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle at
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
Cuba Were all Heroen Their Heroic
Kfforta In Getting Ammunition and
Rations to the Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Sandiago, De Cuba, on
July 23d, says: "We all had diarrhoea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
plied with ammunition -and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep at work and keep our health ; in
fact, I sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct eaviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. My com
rad and myself had the good fortune to
lay in a supply of this medicine for out
pack-train before we left Tampa, and I
know in four cases it absolutely saved
life."
