The Gazette.
Friday, Dec. 31, 1897.
An attempt is being made by
those greatly interested to bring
the two factions of the republican
party together down at Portland.
It is to be hoped that the effort
will prove successful as it means a
great deal to the future welfare of
the party in Oregon. In times
past these two factions have been
bitterly opposed to each other and
as a result many good men nomi
nated on the republican ticket have
been defeated. The Gazette
heartily endorses the move and
hopes that all existing differences
may be buried out of sight aud the
republican forces of the metrop
olis brought together so that they
will present a united front to the
attacks of the enemy at the com
ing elections.
We wish our readers, one and
all, a happy and prosperous New
Year.

THE KILLING OF PETER FRENCH.
Aa Apparent Cm of Cold-Blooded Harder
roller Particular! About the Traced y.
Bubns, Or., Deo. 27. Peter French,
the cattle kioe of Eastern Oregon, was
assassinated on the afternoon of Sunday,
the 26tb, in bis own field near what ia
known aa the Hod House ranob, by a
man of the name of Edward L. Oliver.
French and his men were working
some oat tie, when this man Oliver osme
into the field where tbey were at work,
and Mr. Freooh rode out to where be
was, and after talking with him two or
three minuted, turned to ride away, when
Oliver drew hie pistol, whiob snapped
the first time, but tbe aeoond time be
shot French just above the right ear,
the bullet coming oat in the left eje.
Bart French, tbe mardored man's
brother, was within 30 feet of him when
be fell off bis borge, and picked bim op,
bat be never spoke, and only groaned
onoe. There weie eight of bis men there
at work and allowed ibe assassin to
escape.
The sheriff has gone from here to tbe
soeDe of the murder, and will probably
get tbe murderer. His men stretched a
tent over him and left bim just where be
fell until tbe arrival of thf; coroner to
hold an inquest. Tbe sad ooourrenoe casts
a deep gloom over tbe entire oommnnity.

Mr. Burt is a western man of much
experience in railroading and his
appointment appears to give great
satisfaction to men in railroad
circles.
The belief of Chairman Dingley
and the officials of the treasury
department that tbe new revenue
law is going to be sufficient to meet
the expenditures or the govern
ment is reinforced by similar ex
pressions on the part of the senate
finance committee, whose mem
bers helped to frame the law. The
vigorous efforts of the republicans
to reduce expenditures all along
the line, coupled with the rapid
increase ic revenues under the new
law, make it apparent that there
is going to be no necessity for fur
ther legislation on that subject In
this session of congress and prob

Peter Frenob was president of tbe
Freuoh OIrnn Live Stork Co., which
owns tbousKcds of acres of land in Har
ney county, one ranch alone, on Blitzen
river, being forty-five miles long, and
extending from tbe month of Blitzen
river to its sou roe in tbe Stein moun
tains. The deceased was divorced from
his wife, who was a daughter of tbe late
Dr. Glenn, of California, who was also
killed, and has one obild, a son about 10
years of ape. The remains were shipped
to Bed Bluff, Cel., tbe borne of the mur
dered man's mother. The death of
Frenoh was not altogether a surprise to
residents of that section, as be had been

least expected trouble. The slayer has
been attested nnd lodged in tbe Harney

Portland's merchants report
tbe most profitable Christmas
business ia years, if not in tbe his
tory of the city. Indeed, the tes
timony all along the lino, so far as
heard from, is that throughout tbe
active buying season of Dcoembor
"people had plouty of money, and
were cheerful in spending it"
While it may be feared that ex
penditures were not at all times
entirely judicious, and that in
very many instances they trenched
upon extravagance, it is gratify

ful spirit which has bo long been
overshadowed by the stalkiug
specter of hard times. Oregonian.
Portland's police have been
ordered to stop all Salvation Army
meetings on the streets of that
city. As the worship of these
people is inoffensive and does not
disturb anybody, it would seem
that this order from Portland's
police headquarters is pretty much
out of place.

It la expected that tbe successor to Hon. Hen
ry Blackman, present collector ot internal reve
nue for Oregon, Washington and Alaska, wiU
be chosen early in tbe coming- year, though it
li not supposed that Mr. Blackman will be
asked to atep down and out until bit term of
(our yean la ended. ; Aa yet Mr. Blackman baa
received no word from Washington asking for bit
resignation, but thia waa expected. It ia tbe
policy of the incoming administration to allow
present Incumbents who are faithful in the
performance of their dutiea to aerve out their
respective terms. Mr. Cleveland followed thia
plan and one good turn deaervea another.
Thoae who ought to know have not changed
their mlnda as to Mr. Blackman'a successor.
Dave Dunne will win it in a walk.
Mr. Black, a collector of customs, seems to
have a "cinch" on bis place. He will doubt
less be displaced, however, by a republican in
a short time.
Tbe appointment of John Fox as collector of
customs at Astoria is expected very aoon'
John'a friends have met all objections to his
candidacy.
Aa the time approaches for a change in The
Dalles land office, some interest is being mani
fested in that direction. The Gazette has heard
mentioned in connection with the regtstership
the names of Hon. John Mlchell, Jay P. Lucas,
Capt. John W. Lewis, and E. M. Bhutt, formerly
of Antelope, but now a resident of Heppner.
Mr. Bhutt was considered a very prominent
candidate, down in Wasco county where he is
much appreciated as a hardworking republi
can, but Mr. Shutt decided for business reasons
to withdraw from tbe contest when he came
to Heppner. All are good men and it would
take a prophet to pick out the winner.
Hon. W. H. H Dufur and "Farmer" Cooper
seem to be the leading candidates for receiver
of The Dalles land office. But there are others
in the field and the contest will be very warm.
The Corbett case ia attracting very little at
tention in Oregon at present for the reaaon that
nothing ia being done at Washington. It ia a
foregone conclusion that Mr. Corbett will not
be seated. Hi success would establish a
dangerous precedent, and it is this more than
anything else which has decided Mr. Corbett's
case. It ia to be regretted that one who haa
aerved hla state so well ahould, in hia old days'
become tbe dupe of designing politicians. Mr'
Corbett ia deserving of a better fate.

MoCIure's Magazine for January

Bnt then this is what tbe.'piotures natur

to the rule of never failing, whatever else
happens, to tell a good story.
In this particular number the good
story is told also in most of tbe articles
not merely in those whioh are stories
by oonfession, but in tbe others as well
For example, Mr. Hamblen's acoount of
his own personal experienos as a rail

episodes of daring and disaster, is as ab
sorbing as any of tbe Cot ion. No less is
true of Mr. Dana's chapter of reoolleo

burg, with its olose, living view of
Grant, Sherman, aid tbe otber generals
there. Cy Warman's aocount of his so

attractive description; Robert Barr's
obaraoter sketch of Mark Twain, from
bis own intimate acquaintance, offers a
distinctly new view of tbe great bnmor

Strategic Bearing of tbe Hawaiian Qnestlon
The political and strategical bearings
of the annexation question may bs men
tioned together. Oar government has
believed for a loner while tbat we ongbt
to bave a naval and coaling station in
tbe Paoifin ; and Pearl harbor, wbioh bas
been granted to ns by Hawaii, ia by far
tbe best available looation. If, now,
we should reject the Hawaiian over
tares for annexation, there is no resson
why ths Hawaiian government should
not look to England, And there i
every reason why tbe acquisition of
Hawaii would be highly gratifying to tbe
energetic statesmen who are losing no
opportunity to link together more firmly
those imperial possessions upon which
tbe son never sets. The Hawaiian
islands lie in tbe line of desired cable
communication between Vancouver and
Australia, and In the line ot transit be
tween Hong Kong and the American
isthmus. If England shonld aoqnire
Hawaii upon onr refusal to do so, there
would seem to be no possible reason
by we should insist upon the retention
of Pearl harbor; and England wonld
unquestionably proceed to make Hawaii
tbe best fortified naval station in the
world. On oar part, if we annexed tbe
islands, we shonld not need to be In any
haste about fortifications. The Amerl
can poiioy is so notably a paoino one
that oar ownership of Hawaii would
be universally acquiesced in. It ia
almost inconceivable that we should
ever have to fight to retain a control
onoe assumed. Furthermore, tbe Amer
can oontrol of Hawaii ia in some sense a
duty tbat this oonutry owes Japan and

Who would prescribe only
tonics And bitters for a weak
puny child ? Its muscles And
il . L I
nerves arc so murwigiuy
hsuited that they cannot be
sniAnrW Into activlrr. The
child needs food a blood-
making nerre-ttrcnolhenlne;
and muscle-building food.
Scott's Emulsion
of Cod-Liver Oil is all of this,
and you still have a tonic in
the nypophosphites of lime
and soda to act with the food,
For thin And delicate children
there is no remedy superior
to It la the world. It meant
growth, strength, plumpness
And comfort to them. Be sure
