Probably the Dispatch has struck the key note, and has discovered the coming dark horse. Mr. Moody would certainly be preferable to either Fulton or Oeer, at least he would be preferable to the people of Eastern Ore gon. Times-Mountaineer. 8COTT A9 A JOKK. For the past two years II. VV. Scott has been considered in the light of pos sibility a senatorial candidate. He has been nominated by many newspapers of the state, both republican and demo cratic, and he has in turn been unmerci fully "roasted" and cuffed about by newspapers of the state, both republi can and democratic. The latest "roast" is the following from the American Economist, the protective organ of the republican party: "H. W. Scott, editor of the Portland Oregonian, is a candidate for election to the United States senate by the voltes of the republican majority in the Oregon legislature. There is, we believe, no prospect of his election. He is so far from being a republican that at a dis tance his candidacy seems like a joke. No man in Oregon has done more harm to the cause of republicanism in that state than this same Scott. Editor of the leading newspaper of Oregon, it has been in his power to betray the party and knife its nominees. He has most industriously exercised that power. In spite of Scott and the Oregonian, Oregon has been held in tbe republican column. The earnest, devoted men who direct the republican newspapers of the state outside of the Oregonian have worked hard to contract the baleful efforts of Scott's treachery and mendacity, and they have succeeded. These men may be depended upon to take care of Scott's senatorial ambition. He does not de serve a single republican vote. He should look to tho other side, the side which he has always helped, for recog nition and reward." The Economist is published in New York City, and in the main is supported by Wall street financiers, though it has a genoral circulation throughout the United States. Being published solely in the interests of hide-bound protect ionists and seeing the kernel of good in nothing save a strict protective policy in everything and trust corporations in particular, it is naturally to be expected that it would "cold deck" the great .editor of tho Oregonian. Scott is known to be . liberal in his protective views, and for this reason the Economist gives him the merry jiuglu and terms his can didacy a joke. We have yet to sue where Scott has made an announcement of his candidacy, although he is evident ly in the hands of his friends and prob ubly would not be averse to an accept ance of the senatorial toga should it come to him in the proper manner. With every waning day of the legislative session the prospects of the election of a dark horse become brighter. Why not Scott? He towers head and shoulors above those now in tbe contest, both in point of intellect and ability in state craft. His perceptive powers are un equalled, a qualification necessary for representation of a constituency in the United States senate above all other re quirements. Scott, in spite of all the vituperation and malice-guided news paper attacks, is today the strongest man the republican party of Oregon lias in its ranks. And, yet, in event of his election, which is far from unlikely, his According to the dispatches the) Princess Louise was abandoned by Giron, and she wasn't. That he got $100,000 for leaving her, and that he didn't; that the Princess tried to commit suicide, and she didn't try; that she has left Giron forever, and that she is - going back to him never to separate; that she is heart broken, and that she is happy; that her husband Is a drunkard and a tyrant, and that he is a christian gentle man without guile, and a model.

The court should tako this warrant and apply it on pay ment of the Statesman's delinquent taxes. The Statesman owes Marion county nearly $500 for delinquent taxes covering the assessments of four or fiv years."

Miller the Rustler, - - Athena, Oregon CITY BAKERY Senator Mulkey's bill to leave the is suance of liquor license in corporated towns to a vote of the people, if in effect would be a bunglesome thing, and would be a nuisance. It would cause needless expense and complicate elections. Madame Patti has signed a contract with Grau for a six months concert tour in this country next fall.

A country editor writing on trusts says the country newspaper combine is the biggest trust on earth.
