IN JUSTICE TO THE GAZETTE.
The Times editor in the last is
sue devotes unnecessary space to
pretenses, which, like his business
methods, are becoming so trans
parent to the business men, and to
the 'five-sixthB"(?) of Morrow
county's "plain, common people,"
that, in looking into them, but little
can be discerned. Like many of
his advertisements of concerns long
since out of existence, to which tiie
public can refer, the weight of hia
repeated insinuations regarding
"official paper," "free subscribers,"
etc., etc., have long since become
defunct. The present management
came to this section to attend to
his own business and conduct it in
a manner satisfactory to his adver
tisers and subscribers, for which
he expects to earn a fair compen
sation. Free advertising space is
worth its price, and, like a false
pretense, but few people will take
much stock in it. The Gazette
will stand on its merits, and when
it ceases to wield an influence with
the local people, and thereby earn
their support, it will either seek
other fields or meet its deserved
fate.
THE PHILIPPINE CAMPAIGN.
Nobody could have imaged a
year ago that, as a result of our
righteous determination to protect
the reooncentradoes in Cuba, we
should within a twelvemonth have
entered upon a thorough-going
campaign against the native races
for the possession of the numerous
islands of the Philippine archipel
ago. Yet that is what is now tak
ing place; and although it is easy
to phrase the kind of sarcasms and
ironies that the critics of President
McKinley's policy are employing,
one may search in vain for a man
who can frame a practical and sen
sible argument against doing pre
cisely what is now being under
taken. With an ample supply of
light-draught gunboats for enter
ing the many shallow harbors of
the chief local ports of Luzon, Pa
nay, Negros, Mindanoa, and with
various other islands, and with the
considerable re-euforcemonts of
soldiers, ships, and military and
naval supplies that have been Bent,
our fully trusted leaders, Dewey
and Otis, will pursue a swift aud
firm course ia establishing the au
thority of the United Stater."
AV hereupon there will follow the
best times for the Filipinos that
they have ever known. President
McKinley's speech at Boston on
February ICth, before the Home
Market Club, was not only an elo
quent defense of his policy, but a
perfectly sune aud satisfactory
account of the situation. There is
liot the slightest reason to hesitate,
to doubt, or to be half-hearted.
This country is doing its duty, and
the results will vindicate the policy
pursued. Before the end of the
present month General Otis will
have 25,000 soldiers, and the rebel
lion will be brought to an end in
very short order. What Mr. Kip
ling calls the "White Man's Bur
den" will be borne manfully by the
Americans now sweltering in the
tropical heat of Luzon. From
"The Progress of the World," iu

for March.
The late Oregon legislature made
quite a radical chauge in criminal
procedure, when they provided
that the district attorney might
proceed against parties chargpd
with crimp, by information instead
of by indictment, thus practically
doing away with the expensive aud
cumberous graud jury system. Iu
this Oregon has simply followed
the lead of most Btates, who have
adopted this reform in criminal
prooedure.
Aa the East Oregonian re
marked the other day, there is a
most excellent opportunity for a
clean, able En8tem Oregon repub
licau to secure a seat in the Uuited
States seuate iu 1001, to succeed
George W. McBride. Eastern Or
egon is entitled to one of the eena
torships, and if the right roan is
discovered there is little doubt
about his being successful. Ext

the United States senate and the
whole people of this section would
not be backward in pushing for.

Representative Johnson, of In
diana, made another speech at
tacking the president his last, as
be retired from public life at the
end of last week which was ef
fectually replied to by Representa
tive Landis, of the same state, who
declared that Mr. JohnBon had
been repudiated by his constitu
ents, whose sentiments he did not
represent in any sense, and sup
ported the declaration by reading
extracts from republican papers in
his district. "Those editors," said
Mr. Landis, "are the men who 35
years ago upheld the hands of
Oliver P. Morton, against the as
saults of the copperheads. If the
gentleman returns to bis district
he will be crucified by public opin
ion and spat upon with indigna
tion." SECOND OREGON.

Manila, March 6. The rebel have
been couoentrntiog in Ibe vioiolty of tbe
reservoir. Today a patrol of company

in ambush. Two men were wounded,

the company, assisted by two oompaniea
of the First Nebraska regiment, flanked
tbe enemy, killing 30 and wounding aev

All the native buta bave been destroyed
at Mariqaina, and tbe oouutry there ie
pretty well oleared, bnt the rebels were
returning In email bodiea at sundown
apparently they bave secured a new
supply of smokeless ammunition lately,
as there has been a noticeable difference
during tbe last tew days.
Theoivil members of tbe United Btates
Philippine commission, who arrived here
Saturday afternoon from Houg Kong on
tbe oruiser Baltimore, landed today, and
are now installed iu quarters especially
provided for them, on tbe Malate water
front, bnt they onn do nothing more than
familiarize themselves with looal condi
tions until after Colonel Charles Denby
ex-minister to China and a member of
the commission, arrives.
Tbe troops which arrived Saturday on
the transport Senator and those that ar
rived yesterday on the transport Ohio
are disembarking, and all the prepare
rations are being made to proceed with
an aggressive campaign before the wet
seBson sets in. Tbe rebel, anticipating
the Amorioan advance, are busy throwing
up defenses in every direction, and it is
reported that they are levying men and
supplies in every quarter of tbe provinoe.
As a result, great dissatisfaction prevails
among the tribes originally uufriendly to
tbe Tngalos, particularly among the Flo
CHons, who assert tbeir desire to assist
in oonqoeriog the Tagalos it furnished
with arms.
Cliiimlipilaln's Cough Remedy.
This remedy is intended especially for
cotighe, colds, croup, whooping ootigh
and iulluerzi. It has beoome famous
for its on res of these diseases, over a
large part of the civilized world. Tbe
most flattering testimonials bave been
received, giving aooonnts of its good
works; of tbe aggravating and persistent
ooughs it baa cured ; nf severe oolds that
have yielded promptly to its soothing
etTects, and of tbe dangerous atlaoks of
