8REG0N CUT, THURSDAY, SEPT. 20, 1577.
A Lesson to Orogon.
The result in California at its recent
election should be a warning to the He
publicans of Oregon. In that State the
issue was pressed for the success of a
single man to tho U. S. Senate, and of
course the opposition to him was a
6trong one, and the only wonder is that
the Republicans did so well. No party
can throw a singlo candidate into the
field for U. S. Senator, to the exclusion
of all others, without endangering its
prospects of success. There is but one
course to pursue which will insure suc
cess in Oregon, and that is, leave the
field open to all aspirants to the Senate.
We only need to nominate good and
true Republicans, men of unquestion
able character and undoubted integrity,
ncl to them leave the result. If. as ap
pears to be the desire of some Republi
cans, the issue is made for or against
this or that aspirant, the result of Cali
fornia will bo repeated in Oregon. If
it is desirable to have a llepublican vic
tory, every voter should be at the pri
maries and there select the very best
men to the county convention. At the
county convention the question should
never be asked whether the man is for
this or that aspirant to the Senate. The
only test which ought to bo made in
the convention should be, is the nom
inee a man of integrity; will he vote for
ai honest, honorable and capable Re
publican for the Senate ? If these ques
tions are answered in the affirmative,
then leave the result to the wisdom and
good judgment of the congregated in
telligence of the party when the Legis
lature meets. If it is proposed to put
up one man, be that Senator Mitchell,
Judge Boise, Judge Applegate.'or any
other good Republican, against the
field, and against a united Democratic
opposition, the result is easily foretold.
We want no individual fight in Oregon
We shall be satisfied with any good
Republican.and all Republicans should
be, that may bo selected by the Legis
lature. There i3 no good sense in R
publicans saying that if men who are
nominated in the different counties fa
vor a particular individual, they pro
pose to bolt, or right their election
If the people of such a county nominate
Judge Applegate men, for instance, it
is the work of that section, and it ought
10 ue respected by nepublicuns every
where; the same if they nominate Wil
liams, Boise or Mitchell men. Let ns
xinite to elect the members, and then
let the aspirants fight it out. It wil
never do for Republicans to resolve in
this county that if men favorable to the
aspirations of a certain individual are
nominated they will refuse to vote for
him. This simply gives the Democrats
bo much strength. Let California teach
us a lesson, and if the Republican party
wishes success, it will not make u con
test in the interest of any man, but for
the success of the party. It would also
be well for party leaders to remember
this warning and not attempt to "set
np" conventions. Let there bo a free
and honest impression of the people,
and then the nominees will receive a
hearty support from the masses. The
minority must learn to submit to the
wishes of the majority.
Will be the Result.
For years past the producers of the
country have been clamoring for low
rates of transportation in the East as
well as on this coast. The railroad and
steamboat companies in the Western
and Eastern States have, in a measure,
complied with this demand; but in do
ing so, they have cut down the salary
of their employes so low that it has
caused a revolt, and the recent strikes
have resulted in the organization of a
third party in many of the States. Tha
towns are thus divided against the
country. The producers naturally de
mand low rates for transportation while
they want a high price for their pro
duce. The working men demand high
wages and low priced food. As to get
ting the high wages, this can only be
obtained by high rates for freight, and
low prices for food is only possible by
correspondingly low prices for the far
mer's products. The bone and sinew
of the country are thus locking horns
on their most vital issues. The pro
ducers are dimetrically opposed to ev
erything that tho working men claim,
as a political axiom the very tenet that
the producer most strenuously denies.
Under this condition of affairs it is easy
to see that labor is not likely to make
much headway against capital, end cer
tainly not by the organization of a dis
tinct party.
The Rip Van Winkles of Clackamas
county say there is no need of a court
house. We are glad to see them rous
ing up from their slumbers, but hope
they will brush the cobwebs out of their
eyes before speaking out in meeting.
They are the chaps who can't see any
use for improvement the ways of their
grandfathers suit them.
The indictments against the Louisi
ana Returning Board are said to have
come to naught because Northern Dem
ocrats have failed to put up the amount
of money demanded by a witness who
was to corrobarate Littlefield's testi
mony. In a private letter of Tery recent date
received at Washington, S. S. Cox
writes from Long Branch that his
chances for the Speakership of the next
House of Representatives are excellent.
Giv&us a Rest.
A portion of the Democratic press of
the country is still harping on the le
gality of President Hayes right to his
seat. This is particularly the case with
the New York Sun, while not a profess
ed Democratic paper, it assumes to
speak for them, and is extensively quot-1
ed by the organs of the party through
out ths entire country. We see eo good
that can come of this continued abuse
of President Hayes for taking cn office
which he received, if not by the legal
votes, by u plain agreement of both
parties, and through an understanding
which should ba binding on the people.
The electoral commission was created
by almost a unanimous Tote of the
Democrats in both branches of Con
gress. It was then agreed that the ver
dict of that commission should settle
the question for all time, whether it was
decided in favor of Hayes or Tilden.
The commission rendered its verdict in
favor of President Hayes, and he was in
duty bound to assume the responsibil
ities of the office. It does not matter
whether Louisiana, South Carolina or
Florida wera wrongfully counted for
him. He is not responsible for that
act. It is enough to know that they
were so counted, and by the verdict of
a tribunal mutually agreed upon, he
was declared the President of the Unit
ed States. There can be no good result
to any" party to longer agitate this ques
tion. No matter what the action of the
returning boards was, Mr. Hayes holds
his office bv virtue of an aerreenient
made by Congress to submit the ques
tion to arbitration, and good faith on
the part of both sides demands a peace
ful and honest submission to its verdict.
If Mr. Haves was not elected bv the
people, he was by a body to which the
final decision was submitted. We are
tired and sick of this denunciation of a
man who had nothing to do with the
matter further than to assume the duties
of the office after he was declared the
elected candidate, and the better clas
of Democrats are as thoroughly sick of
it as we are. The Democrats submitted
their claim to the commission. That
commission decided against them, and
they show great inconsistency iu de
nouncing the man who was made Presi
dent as much by their own acts as by
those of the Republicans. This course
can only have one effect, and that is, to
cause foreign nations to place a lower
estimate on the virtue and greatness of
our Republican form of Government.
It cannot help tha result or benefit tho
Democrats, nor deprive President Hayes
of lu3 four years term of office. Hive
us a rest on this subject.
Cameron siiitl Hayes.
A newspaper correspondent, who has
found ex-Senator Cameron in a talka
tive mood, has drawn from him the
reasons which he has for dissatisfaction
with the present federal administration.
Ho does not like the President's cou;-se
toward the South because it i3 not
bringing back a proper return for the
"Pennsylvania blood shed in the War
of the Rebellion." He opposes the
plans for reforming the civil service be
cause they are going to cut off the sup
ply of election funds; "the masses of
the people are too poor to contribute,
and it is natural that those who hold
federal position should b expected to
do so." This places the ex-Senator and
Gail Hamilton in accord. Finally he
makes the assertion that "it is not the
politicians so much a3 the masses of
tho Republican pariy who are displeased
with Hayes." This is c great discovery.
If it i3 correct the Camerons and the
Blaines and the Cornells need give
themselves little anxiety; for what the
people of thi3 country really want they
manage to secure, even if the politicians
want the contrary.
We fear, says the N. Y. Post, that
the leisure which the ex-Senator from
Pennsylvania haa enjoyed since he gave
vp his seat in the Senata has tended to
make him take too rose-colored g visv
of life. If he perceives a popular dis
content with the President's course, his
perception, for an old man, is remarka
ble. There is a restlessness sometimes
apparent because the financial policy of
the administration seems in some re
spects obscure, and again because the
reformation of the civil service goes on
too slowly or unmethodically. But as
fast as the methods of the administra
tion become known they are found to
be in the right direction. Appeals of
Democratic leaders not to forget the
"work of the Commission" do cot pre
vent men of all parties from giving the
x reeuient meir assurances of respect
and sympathy wherever he goes; and
even in Maine, where tho personal
strength of the chief anti-administra
tion leader is greatest, that leader had
l 1 11 1 ..
iu ntuuuwicugB iuai a resolution cen
suring the administration would have
endangered tho unity of the party.
Mr. Cameron's delusion doubtless af
fords him much comfort, and he is not
likely to be again iu a position where it
will do him any harm to continue to
entertain it.
Elections in Ohio and Iowa on the 2d
of October, with full State tickets to
elect. Colorado holds an election for
members of the Legislature on the same
day. The Ohio Legislature will elect a
Senator for the unexpired term of Sen
ator Sherman, now held by Stanley
Matthews.
There is more trouble about Mr. Bish
op, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio. It is now charged that
when he was the Know-Nothing Mayor
of Cincinnati he refused to ride in the
same carriage with the Roman Catholic
Archbishop Purcell.
IJulgariau Atrocities.
The Turkish Government, every few
days, sends to the world a bulletin an
nouncing fearful atrocities by the Rus
sians and Bulgarians. So far as these
eases have been investigated, they ap
pear, where substantiated, to have been
principally committed by Bulgarians.
Our readers will, no doubt, remember
the fearful atrocities of last year com
mitted by the Turks upon them. As
unfolded in the speeches of Gladstono
and in the details furnished by our own
consul, Schuyler, they were of a char
acter to shock, a3 they did shock, the
civilized world. Tlo immediate result
was aa indignant protest from tho great
powers of Europo, which w&s so far
heeded that tho atrocities ceased. Bat
the chief actors thorein were promoted
and honored by tho Turkish Govern
ment. Now the Turks are getting their
own actions returned upon themselves.
Naturally they don't like it, but what
else could they expect ? It is certainly
human nature for the Bulgarian to take
revenge" when it comes to his hand. In
human outrages of either party admit
of no justification, but tho provocation
tho Bulgarian has had cannot but be
remembered when wo aro called upon
to record with reprobation his deeds of
vengeance. As far as the Runsians ara
concerned, tha Cossack ia hardly a match
yet for the Bashi Bazouk in tho outrage
business.
Republican State Central Commit
tee. The Republican State Central Com
mittee met at Portland last Monday
evening. From the Oregon ia,i wo clip
the following proceedings:
W. Carey Johnson was chosen secre
tary of the committee.
Geo. A. Steel, Esq., chairman of the
committee, communicated his resigna
tion cs 3uch, and also ao member of tho

full and free consultation the resigna
tion was accepted.
Dr. J. W. Watts being chosen tem
porary chairman, on motion tho thanks
of the committee were unanimously
tendered to Mr. Steel for tho efficient
and successful manner in which he had
discharged the duties of chairman.
Thereupon Hon. David Goodsell, of
Multnomah county, was chosen to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Mr. Steel, and ho was elected chair
man of the State Central Committee.
Tho secretary was directed to notify the
county committer of Multnomah county
of th;.3 action and ask its approval.
Hon. John Kelly, member of the com
mittee from Lane county, presented his
resignation, which was accepted, and
W. C. Wasiiburne va3 chosen to till the
vacancy, and the secretary was directed
to notify the county committee of Lane
of such action and ask its approval.
The following resolution was unani
nio isly adopted:
Resolved, That we gratefully recog
nize tho valuable work now being done
by the Oregon Statesman and other Re
publican papers in exposing from the
public records the unlawful drafts made
upon the State Treasury and school
fund by the present Stare administra
tion, and we earnestly call the attention
of ;very honest citizen of Oregon to the
facts therein presented.
The committee adjourned to meet at
the call of the chairman.
Remember that tho E-:TEitpnisis is a
county institution, and should receive
a liberal support from every citizen in
the county. Not being backed by a
bank or any rich friends, v.e depend on
the people to furnish the coin, and pro
pose to give value received for it. With
out your aid we do not expect io run a
paper for Clackamas county, and if yon
think it benefits the county and your
self, give us a helping hand by calliug
at once end having yonr name placed
on the subscription list and depositing
$2 50. It has been our desire since as
suming the helm of this journal to work
for everything which Eeemed to the in
terest of tho county, and we are forced
to say thai our pay has been rather
small and inadequata for the time, labor
and money expended during the past
Jwo years. As to whether we have been
successful in our first attempt to run a
newspaper, wa leave it to the public to
render a verdict. If tha citizens of
Clackamas believe that a newspaper is a
necessity to the welfare, growth and
intelligence ci tho county, they should
manifest their bei'ef in a substantial
manner those who eve already sub
scribers by paying up their subscrip
tiona and asking their frier ds to come
to the front, and those who have been
negligent by calling at once and giving
their aid.
An army officer etaiioned at Washing
ton is givan as authority for tha asser
tion that the President will soon re
ceive c petition, numerously sign ad by
reputable army officers, requesting that
a board of inquiry be detailed to report
whether General Babcock is guilty of
the manifold iniquities charged against
him, and, if so, that he may be court
martialed. The Chicago Tribune, in view of the
recent savings bank failure in that city,
thinks that "that statesman who will
mature a measure providing a system of
Postoffice Savings Banks will render the
country a great service and confer a
blessing upon every industrious, hon
est and thrifty man, woman and child
in the laud."
People may ridicule Got. Blue Jeans
Williams, but they should understand
that he is one of the most efficient Dem
ocrats in Indiana. He strengthens the
ranks of his party by pardoning out of
the penitentiary those who have been
convicted of violating the election laws.
"The purity of the ballot-box must be
preserved."
Ex-Governor Kellogg, of Louisiana,
has said that he will make no personal
efforts to obtain a seal in the United
States Senate, but will leave the matter
wholly in the hands of the Republican
Senators.

Chicago, Sept. 17. The Tribune's
New York special says Stanley's letters
are dated Embomma, Congo river, Aug.
10th. After a terrible journey through
the heart of the African continent, Stan
ley and his followers pushed across the
country to the Lualaba, thence along
the left bank of the river, passing
through northeast Uskusa. He was op
posed at every step by hostile cannibals
who filled the woods and poured flights
of poisoned arrows on his party, killing
and fatally wounding many of his men.
The heavily laden ' bearers fell dead un
der their loads. There was no cessation
cf fighting day or night. All efforts to
appease the savages were unavailing.
They would listen to no overtures, dis
regarded signals of friendship and re
fused gifts. There was only one way
to escape unless Stanley accepted the
alternative of retursing to Nyango, and
abandoning the work he had undertak
en, this was to use canoes. With good
canoes for the party, Stanley concluded
he would advance with better prospect
of success. He found each day's ad
vance a repetition of the previous day's
struggle. It was des2erate fighting
throughout. While pushing down the
river he was interrupted by a series of
cataracts just north and south of the
equator. In order to pass these he had
to cat his way through 13 miles of dense
forest, and ttrag his eighteen canoes
overland. Three day3 later he came to
the country of a powerful tribe, whoaa
warriora were armed with mnskets. No
sooner did the natives discoverStanley's
approach than they manned 54 large
canoes and put off from the bank to at
tack him. He ofiered peace grifts. but
the savages refused to be reconciled, and
tuo nglit went cn for 12 miles clown the
river, it was maintained bv Siacley e
followers with great courage, and wa3
the last save on o 32 battles 3ince the

writes: "I make expedition from Boma

ments will be resorted to to escape anni

that another campaign will involve
Germany. Efforts will ba made to in
duce the Porte to offer fair terms of

It makes very little- difference whether the

CANCER CAN HE CURED.
Cancer has from time immemorial lvn a
preat sconrtre tothe human race, and if new
becoming the greater. For man v vears it has
been held by the medical profession, and gen
erally believed by the eoj.le, that Cancer is
incurable ; that once its roots take hold ui"in
a victim, there is no chance for a suffer- r to
escape a lingering and terribledeath ; a death
surrounded by all that is disguing and hor
rible, not only to the sutlVrer, but to his
friends. Happily this f"U dost rover tU'f'i no
longer be feared. lr. II. T. Bond. ..fT'hila
delphia.a well known physician, of large ex
IMTience, has for tour years devoted him-!'
tothe special study and treatment of Cancer,
and the result of his experience is his dis
covery for the radical cure of Cancer, wi!ho;U
the use of either knife, caustic or plasters.
and without pain.
The majority of i
oersoiis are nrentl v flecelvPu
in reirard to t he first swm.toms and appear
ance of t his most dreaded disease, considering
it painful from the commencement. This is
a sad mistake, carrvinir thousands to nn un
timely jjravo. In most cases there is little er
no pain until the disease is far advanced.
The only symptoms for many months, and
even for years, are occasionally a stinjri'1!'
dartinjr, stabbing; shoot inir, sniartintr. i'"'1'
injr, burning, crawling or creeping sensation,
and some cases not any or these. If
malady Is rrowinir worse instead oi
better, it is conclusive evidence if is of 3
malignant character, and demands imme
diate attention. If you have a branny seaiy",
warty appearance, with an occasional bn aK"
inarout of these upon the face, lip or nose or
any other port ion of t he skin, attended witn
any of the above symptoms, oi a sensation w
a fly beins on it, of a hair ticklins it, is cer
tain evidence it is Cancer, and there shorn"
be no delay in usinfr lr. Lond's treatment.
Life is too valuable to be tampered with.
Dr. T.ond's treatment consists of an "Anit
dote" that is applied loon 11 v: this fit once ar
rests the growth of the Cancer, and by chern
cal action neutralizes its malitrnity, r.'"
ins: it harmless and chonprins: it to a simr1
sore, which nature, assisted by const itutiona
remedies, soon heals (when the skin is n"
broken, and1 the Cancer is a hard tumor, the
Antidoto does not make an open sore, but re
moves it by absorption). In connection !tn
the Antidote is used the Specific, taken in
ternally. This tones up the ereneral heillJ,
strengthens the patient, purifies the t)lxKl
atid eliminates the poison from the system
Dr. Bond's Antidote contains neither cnu'O
nor poison, and can bo applied to the mrtj
delicate tissues of the body without ,rlJuR
and therefore is the only remedy that ""''
used in internal Cancer, such as cancer of in"
stomach, cancer of tho womb, etc. Ir.rind
remedies, with full directions for suceewu
treatment will be .sent to anv part of n
world.
