The Dalles Daily Chronicle. TUESDAY JAN. 15, 1901 JS POPULAR GOVERXMEST A FAILURE t AVc nsk the question whether popti-, lar government is a failure, simply to answer it unequivocally in the negn-1 tivc. Yet popular government is on trial today in Oregon, and, while we have no doubt it will be vindicated, Tve feel it to be a duty to sound a note of warning. The corruption of our politics throughout the nation has been a hissing and a sneer. It is true thr.t much of this attack hss been unjust, ; and much of it the socialistic raving j of democrats, mugwumps, and small j Americans; but there is enough cor-1 ruption by the rich to justify thej charge. We of Oregon may repel it if we will and we will. The free and untrammeled choice of United States senator by the legis lature is the pressing duty of the hour, and the best man must have an absolutely fair chance to win. 2so man must be preferred simply be cause he wants the preference; no man is entitled to the office simply because he is neb. The successful candidate must win because he deserves to win upon his merits alone. Then will our representatives fulfill their duty. Then, whatever tbe scandals attaching to the legisla tive sessions of other states, tins present one in Oregon may return each man to his constituents and look them in tbe face. Then will the critics of popular government, the socialists and small Americans and dyspeptics of politics, find it necessary to look elsewhere for just criticism of our form of government. A reporter of tbe Portland Tele gram recently interviewed Repre sentative L. S. Geer, of Harney county, on the subject of his prefer ence for United States senator. He delivered himself of the following : "I am a Corbett man, and have ample reasons for being a supporter of that gentleman." We concede this to b3 the most refreshing piece of frankness that has appeared, par ticularly in view of the rumors ailoat - as to the opportunities offered by ( the grand old man's retainers for the formation of favorable opinions and the creation of "ample reasons." The Eugene Register refers to H. W. Corbett as the Rip Van Winkle of Oregon politics. The main difference between Corbett and the original Rip is that Corbett has been asleep Unity years instead of twenty and he will be laid away by the present legislature for an in definite political nap, if the signs of the times are not misleading. The Iioseburg Plaindealer doesn't propose to get off on the wrong foot in the present senatorial contest. It is all things to nil men a good Lord good devil sort of thing, It dishes up a uodce-podge of compliments for all the senatorial possibilities, and leaves a hole open so it can crawl in, no difference who is elected, Great head ! "Mfirry" Kittle inmett. Mr. Lorin J. Howard's production of "The New Waifs of New York" with the inimiahle little comedienne, "Mer ry" Katie Emmett in the leading role, will he the attraction at the Voet opera house Wedneeday night, Jan. Kith, and it Koes without eayirig that a moat en joyable night is in store for all who are on hand. The piny has a record of over els months In New York and propor tionately long engagements in other cities of the country. It is recognized as the best sensational drama of New York life yet written, and ia presented with an entire complement of scenery, showing the principal points of interest iu New York and its environs. The mechanical effects are new, original and startling, and are calculated to enthuse any audience. Mire Kitunett has a national reputation as a most winsome and talented comedienne, of whom the New York Sun says : "Before Katie Kuimett had been many moments on the stage she was fixed in the affections of those who saw her. She is trimly built, with bright eyes, white teeth, a sunny face ami a nimble foot to fill out the picture. It is as a boy that Mies Emmett mokes hor cleverest appeal for praise; her naive way and cute personality in boy's attire heighten the effect, which is irresiatable. Ttiere is no room to doubt her popular siiccees." Mint 1'vnre Klivoy. London-, Jan. 115. The war oflico line received the following dispatch from Lord Kitchener: "Pretoria, Jan. 13. About 1400 Boers crossed the line, attacking both Znurfon tein and Kaalfontein stations, but were driven off. They are being pursued by a calvary bripnile." Lord Kitchener reports also several skirmishes at different points, with Iriil'-iL- British losse", "tid adds: "Th:.?e agents of the poi-.ee commit- aioners were taSeti as prisoners to ne wet's laat'er, near Lindley, January 10. One, who was a British subject, was flogged and then shot. The other two burghers were flopped by Dewot's or ders." Don't wait another day or you may be too late. Corsets 18 to 20; 24 to 27.
