OREGON CITY, TlilIiSDAV, SEi'7. 21, hll.
The Time is Approaching.
The people of Oregon will soon have
au exciting election on hand, anil it is
beginning to cause considerable wire
working already. TUo Democracy is
fixing up its slate, or rather its leaders
are, and it becomes Republicans to get
their house in order for the light. There
is no reasonable doubt but what a ma
jority of the people of Oregon are in
harmony with Republican principles,
and will vote the ticket if no disorgan
izing elements are allowed to 'control
the conventions. The Democracy w ill
have to make its fight on the defensive.
They have the sins of the past six or
eight years of administration to answer
for, and the people will hold them to a
strict accountability; hence the Repub
licans have a decided advantage- in the
contest.
Rut we see a disposition on the part
of some of our Republican friends and
exchanges to force a certain policy into
the nominating conventions, which, if
Carried out, will have a tendency to in
jure the prospects of success very ma
terially. There is another evil which
should be guarded against. Parties
who have an ax to grind are at work to
secure friends in the conventions, and,
of course, this being done by one, will
bo followed by others; thus, instead of
the conventions being a representation
of the will of the people, they will be
but the personal representation of the
tricksters who have been successful in
getting their delegations. To this kind
of work the Republicans will not sub
mit. There must be a fair and honest
expression of the party, and the action
of the majority will be cheerfully ac
quiesced in. We want no "setting up"
of delegations for any particular man,
or set of men. We want a majority of
the Republicans to select. If this is
not done, we shall lose all the advan
tage we possess now against our oppo
nents. If the people make their selec
tions, they will pick good men. There
is no uouui oi mar, ana luoii mo
will cheerfully come up to the support
of the ticket. The diilerenecs, if any
exist in the party, .should be speedily
settled, and the success of thj party
placed above the will or aspiration of
any man. The Democracy will present
a solid front. They may quarrel among
themselves, but when voting time comes
they walk up and never scratch a man.
Republicans aro not the tools of party
to such an extent, and when there is
foul play or a bad man placed on the
ticket, they exercise the right to defeat
him. Let us put our party in order.
We need only harmony, true Republi
cans and no dead weights to insure a
grand Republican victory next June.
The course of President Hayes has done
much to give us a strong hold on every
conservative Democrat, n:v.1 many will
support our ticket if we only act so as
to get our own full strength. Set aside
personal animosities, labor fur unity,
and success will be our reward.
Prospects in Ohio.
"The Democracy started out In high
glee over its prospects for success in
Ohio. It seems that a wet blanket has
been thrown around tho corpse, and its
managers are hardly able to keep it from
decomposition. Recent dispatches say
that in precincts which have given as
high as 1,000 majority, there has not
been over twenty-five or thirty voters
that have registered. Under the laws
of that State, all voters must register
their names before the 2'2d inst., or tb.ey
are debarred from voting. There seems
to be a perfect apathy in the ranks of
iha Democracy, and while it looked fa
vorablo foriheir success a month ago,
it now indicates that the Republicans
will get away with the State by a very
lair majority. Wo never believed that
Ohio would go back on the President,
her favorite son, and his recent visit to
Lis old home brought tho party up to
that point of unity and enthusiasm
which argues that success will follow.
The Republicans of Ohio are making a
bard fight. There is a seat in the Sen
Ate to fill in place of Stanley Matthews,
who was appointed to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Secretary
Sherman, and the Republicans do not
propose to have it tilled by a Democrat.
The Ex-Collector copies approvingly
the following extract from the Cincin
nati Commercial :
Tho Republicans of Ohio would have
liad a sure thing of carrying the State
by a large majority this fall, if so many
of them had not been tender-toed about
the administration. Do the gentlemen
with sore toes contemplate doing any
thing in the conn ry in opposition to
the administration? The only thing
they Can by possibility accomplish is
the encouragement of tho Democratic
party in its intolerable pretensions.
Taking the circumstance into consid
eration that this is a vigorous portrayal
of just what Scott is doing himself, it is
about the sublimity of cheek for him
to be casting stones. The big boy is
going to f ume, blubber and scold until
he gets au office, and he will then lie
come as meekly sycophantic r.s the worst
of them. Don't you remember what a
tool you were under tho Grant regime ?

Wii.it Hakes Towns.
The Standard publishes an article
which we believe shows very plainly
what our town could be if we but used
the advantages presented to us, and
that we are, missing the golden oppor
tunity. There i3 no derying the fact
that we havo the greatest water power
on the coast, and the only reason Ore
gon City is not to-day prospering is
because we fail to use it. While wo
regret this, we rejoice equally at the
.prosperity of adjoining towns, as we
are not of that selfish class who, if we
do not enjoy the prosperity duo us, dis
like to see others go ahead. The Stand
ard, under the head of "What Rnilds
Up Towns," says:
On a recent vi-it to Albany we were
much pleased to note the rapid advance
made in improvements and the increase
of its population. There is no disguis
ing the fact that Albany is going ahead
faster than any other interior town in
the State. Many will say that its fine
location in the very heart of our agricul
tural section is the cause of this Vapid
and marked prosperity. Rut we believe
that it is entirely owing to other and
more important causes. It is true that
Albany is surrounded by as fine an agri
cultural country as there is on the face
of the earth, but the products of the
county aro divided with at least half a
dozenprosperous and enterprising towns
among which we may name Ilarrisburg,
Tangent. Lebanon. Ilalsey and Rrowns
ville. Of course, Albany does not re
ceive the benelit of the whole of the im
mense wheat crop and other products of
the county. It goes to the nearest ship
ping point. The mills at that place, and
its railroad and transportation facilities,
give the town a decided advantage. Rut
other towns enjoy the same, and aro at
par with Albany in this respect. In our
opinion Albany has a better and surer
foundation for her future prosperity, and
that lies in the energy of her people in
establishing manufacturing enterprises.
Ever since the completion of the Leba
non and Albany canal, the people of
that town havo all shown a very laud
able disposition to help and assist in
every possible way the establishment of
all kinds of manufacturing establish
ments. .No man goes there but finds,
not only encouragement in words, but
in actual assistance. Thus many indus
tries which employ a great many hands
have been inaugurated, and the product
of these manufacturing establishments
have brought a return for the advances
which have been made. The last good
enterprise established at Albany is the
twine factory, which is already receiv
ing more orders fur its twine than it
can possibly supply. This factory is
said to make a superior article of all
kinds of twine, and employs from fifteen
to twenty hands. Resides this, it gives
the producer of flax a very liberal price
for the henip. Thus it helps the farmer
and gives others employment besides
those actually engaged in manufactur
ing. We believe that Albany's manu
facturing enterprises aro to-day the
foundation of her rapid growth, and the
town which shows the most public spirit
in this direction is sure to take the lead
and distance all others m both wealth
and population.
Shall We Realize III
We think there are not two sentiments
in regard to the evil of the Chinese in
our midst. It is true tho Democracy
claim to be the only opponents to Chi
nese immigration, but we Lav9 failed to
find any Republicans who favor this
class as citizens. They are an evil to
our State, and we would like to see their
coming here checked in some way, es
pecially if it can bo done without injur
ing our trade relations with the Flow
ery Kingdom. The Democracy has
promised us relief from this curse, and
in view of the fact that it now has a
large Democratic majority in the Cali
fornia Legislature, wo shall watch with
anxiety to see whether it will lo the
same as has been done in Oregon by the
party. Resides this, we aro free to con
fess that the indications are very favor
able for that party to have a majority
in both branches of Congress. In that
event there would be no obstacle in
their way to carry out the promise that
has been so often made. The San
Francisco Call, a Republican paper,
speaking on this subject, says:
The first difficulty in California ex
perienced with our Chinese population
was in 1S53, when large numbers came
to the State and threatened to overrun
the mines. The Democratic party was
then iu power, and it made efforts to
arrest the incoming tide. It sought to
tax by a license system the Chineso who
were working in the mines. The effort
did 1 ave the effect of part'ally stopping
the billowing population. From that
time to tho present, however, the strug
gle has continued, but tho Democratic
party has opposed the immigration of
the Chinese. That party has now con
trol of the State Legislature and is in a
fair way to control Congress. Under
such circumstances, it will not be too
much to expect a strong effort to be
made, both in the State and National
Legislatures.to restrict the immigration
of the Chinese. Indeed, it has been
urged that it was only necessary to sup
port the Democratic'party to be rid of
the alliiction.
President Hayes is accomplishing
much toward bringing about au entente
cordiale between the hitherto estranged
North and South, and in so doing is
winning the approbation of the fair-
minded of both parties and spot inn Q
but we hear occasional growls from the
hot her.d3 of both sides, tho ultra Re- I
publicans thinking his conduct a base I
surrender and the rabid Democrats are
fearful it will result iu tho capture of '
their party, bag and baggage. Out of ;
evil cometh good, and President Haves

Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts,
stands up like a man and says, in a long
interview on tho political situation, "I
don't intend the President's southern
policy shall fail for want of my support.
I think it is the duty of the Republican
partv to see that it does not fail for
want of its support." If it fails, he
thinks it will bo "because the better
element in the South does not assert
itself."- He considers tho southern pol
icy a necessity, and objects only to the
way in which it was carried out, as he
would havo simply withdrawn the troops
and forced thepeojile to take the re
sponsibility of the result. Mr. Dawes
is radical in his retrospection, and thinks
that tho manner of treatment of the
South by the last Administration eufee
bled tho Republican party. He holds
that under no law did tho President
have any right to employ the military,
in a political way, we presume, in the
South. He thiuks the southern people
ha,ve not so far acted in a manner that
is encouraging to the President, but he
does not believe in distrust of them
until they havo demonstrated that the
confidence extended to them has been
misplaced.
' As to tho attempt at civil service ro
form, tho Senator is in doubt. His
theory is tho ouo universal among hon
est citizens that "the best men should
bo appointed to tho public service," a
selection that must be made under the
unwritten laws of common sense. It is
instinct to a certain extent, he believes
such instinct as leads men in the choice
of partners in business pursuits. Asked
as to his opinion of the right of Con
gressmen to control appointments, he
replied: "To my mind it makes but
little difference to which the appoiuting
power surrenders itself, unless it is
emancipated from any other control
except its own judgment of the fitness
of each man to the place ho is assigned,
and unless it is so emancipated it will
never bo reformed." The new system
he puts with the old, which "has proved
a failure and was fruitful of mischief."
In conclusion the Senator aggregated
his ideas upon civil service ia this
opinion:
"Tho be:--t civil service I can think of
is to h't each ono of these be nntram
meled by any artificial rules; select his
own subordinates according to the dic
tates of liis own judgment, and hold
hiai absolutely responsible for a result
which he cannot thus throw oil' his own
shoulders on Congressmen or cm civil
service rules. If the head of a deart
uient is tit, then ho is lit to select his
men and discharge the duties of their
respective- places. I look upon all arti
ficial conclusions, either of the politi
cians or of the doctrinaire, that attempts
to substitute something else for this in
stinct, judgment or sagacity, whatever
you m y call it, at war with all theory
of government which might and does
hold the head

This distinguished soldier and patriot
arrieed at Portland last Siturday. He
is a fine-looking old-fashioned gentle
man, with none of tho assumed airs
which generally belong to men of small
brains, either in his address" or dress.
He is plain and unassuming, which is
always a sure sign of tho greatness iu
any man. The history of Gen. Sherman
in the late war is well known to every
citizen of tho Union, and he holds his
present position at tho head of the mili
tary force of the country as a fit recog
nition of the great bravery he displayed
in aiding ho subduing of the rebellion
He is 'oi years of age, ami looks as

The Xew York Times sees in'the finan
cial outlook a genuine return to trade
prosperity, saying that "we have got
beyond the formula which long served
to check despondency and sow the seed
of hope. 'The bottom has been reached,'
is a phrase that no longer satisfies. Im
provement has actually begun. We
see signs of it everywhere in the bus
tle of wholesale houses, in tho more
cheerful tone of the retailers, in the
street 'throng, and in tho presence of
strangers from all parts of the country.
There might be some reason for ques
tioning of tho sufficiency of this evi
dence if it was at variance with the ex
perience of other places. Fortunately,
what is true of New York is equally
truo of the other great distributing
centres."
The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dcm.)
does not favor the plan of nominating
Mr. Tilden again to get even with tho

saying:

dates, and in each case we were told
that the iulluence of the Empire State
would Recuro a Democratic President.
In each case, however, we found this
an empty promise. Mr. Tilden's State
has had three consecutive nominations,
and it is mere folly to talk of putting
him up again. Tho South has been do

Washington, Sept. 21. Tne patent,
office fire originated from spontaneous
combustion among a lot of non-patented
chemical matter stored in the it: tie on
the Ninth street f . out. No fire was
made in the conservative to-day, nor
Lad there been any made in the build
ing. The principal loss falls upon the
'patent office. The original copy of the
Declaration of Independence and relics
lot Lreu. v asuintrton were saved: also
Franklin's printing press. Nearly all
tho specifications and original drawings
of the patent otueo were saved and from
these models can be reproduced if nec-
essarv. Manv eletks of tho interior de
partment, laud, Indian and pension
ofiioes have been ordered on duty to
night, assorting books and papers and
drying those which have been damaged
by water. The military aro on guard
duty at the building, where they will
remain until the records and public
property are secured. None of the
land ofiice records are destroyed, but
! many seriously damaged by water.
Tho records of tho application divis
ion, the office which first receives the
application for patents and of which
papers no copies were made, were saved.
The most valuable models that were
saved were these relating to sewing
machines, firearms, printing presses,
locks, safes, Ac. The models of reapers,
mowers and various agricultural im
pliments were destroyed. A temporary
room will be erected at once. The
damage to the building is variously es
timated at from $300,000 to $500,000,
while that from the destruction of mod
els and other valuables belonging to the
patent ofiice is almost incalculable. Tho
arches which formed tho ceiliug of the
second story and upon which the iloor
of tho third story vested, are so badly
damaged by tho heat aud water that
many must be torn down. The marble
of the outer walls aro considerably dis
colored and cracked. It is supposed the
fire had been smouldering beneath the

hours before discovered. Two or three

Lonpon, Sept. 2G. A correspondent
at Paris telegraphs that the electoral
period, namely, that in which pnblio
meetings may bo held, has now been
open two days; but there has been no
excitement in consequence in Paris,
where meetings are not necessary, as
the success of the Republicans is almost
a foregone conclusion. In the remote
provincial districts, no idea can be
formed abroad of the bitterness of men
already arising between the political
parties. They aro like two hostile na
tions confronting each other and ready
to come to blows. Never before did
this painful animosity attain the in
tensity to which it has been
since the 10th of May.

CANCi:il CAN HE CUKED,
Cancer lias from time immemorial been a
great scourge to the human raw, and is now
becoming the greater. Vor mnnv vears it has,
been held by the medical profession, and gen-,
trady believed by the ioople, that Cancer i$
incurable : that once its roots take hold upon
a victim, t here is no chance for a sutTerer to
escape a lingering and terribledeath : a death
surrounded by all that is disgusting and hor
ribly not only to the sulferer. but to his
friends. Happily t his fell destrover need nq
longer be Jeared. Dr. H. T. Iiond, of Phila
delphia, a well known phvsician, of large ex
perience, h:is for four years devoted himself
to the special study and treatment pf Cancer,
and the result of his experience is his dis
covery f. r the radical euro of Cancer, without
the use of cither knife, caustic or plasters.
niu niuitu; pant.
The majorit y of persons are greatlv deceived
in regard to t lie lirst s.vm4nms and appear
ance of this most dreaded disease, considering
it painful from the commencement. This is
a sad mistake, carrying thousands to an un;
timely grave-. In most cases there is little or
no pain until the disease is far advanced.'
i'lie. only symptoms lor many months, and
even for years, are oecasicnally a stinginc'
darting, stabbing, shor,tmir, smarting, itch
ing, burning, crawling or creeping sensation,
and some cases not any or these. If i
malady is growing worse instead of
better, it is conclusive evidence it is of ai
malignant character, and demands inline:
diate attr ntimi. If you ha ve a branny scaly,
warty appearance, wit h an x-casional break
ing out of these upon the lace, lip or nose, or
any ot her port ion of t he skin, attended with
any of the above symj toms, ot a sensation of
a 11 y brdng on it, of a hair tickling it, is cer
tain evid-'nee it is Cancer, and there should
be no delay in using I r. I;ond's treatment.
Life is too valuable to be tampered with.
1 r. Komi's fivat merit consists of an "Anti
dote" lh;:t is applied locally : this at once ar
rests the growt h of the Cancer, and by chemi
cal action neutralizes, its malignity, render
ing it Harmless and changing it to n simple
sore, which nature, assisted by constitutional
remedies, soon in-als ("when the skin is un
broken, and t lie Cancer is a hard tumor, the
Antidote loes not make an open sore, but re-mov-s
it !.v absorption). In connection with
the Antidote is uvd the .-eciiic, taken in
teinaliy. This tones up the general health,
stri-ntioiis. tho patient, purifies the blood
and eliminates the poison from the svstem
Ir. Jlond's Antidote contains neither caustio
noroison, and can be applied to the most
delicate tissues of the body nifhout injury
and therefore is tho only remedy that can bo
used in internal t aneer, such as cancer of tho
stomach, cancer of the womb, etc. Dr. Rond'
remedies, with full directions for successfu
treatment will be sent to any part of tlv
world. .
