This deadly poison may lay dormant in the blood for years, or until you reach Idle life, then the first little sore or ulce? makes its ap pearance— or a swollen gland in the breast, or some other part of the body, gives the first warning.

The republicans will have fifty-five members in the next legislative assem bly, not counting the citizen members from Multnomah county. Assuming that five of that delegation cooperate with the republicans, thirty-one will con stitute a majority of the republican members. The plan to name a party candidate for senator by secret caucus, if successful, would mean that thirty-one men could meet and bind the other twenty-nine to support a man whom they might name, under penalty for fail ure or refusal of being branded as party outlaws. Those twenty-nine men might honestly feel that the individual selected did not really represent the republican party, and consequently refuse to sup port him. His “nomination” might be secured by questionable methods. Money might be used to secure a major ity of a caucus and excused under the plea that it is not dishonest, as it is only a “nomination” and not an election. A caucus nomination might be secured when party endorsement might be abso lutely impossible. The result would be the same—a perversion of the real party will. Let there be no such scandal at tach to the forthcoming election as has attended all those of recent years. Let us have a decent, honest and orderly se lection of senator. Let a man be chosen who can accomplish something for the state, and not one who only thinks he can. Let a man be elected who is on friendly terms with the president and his cabinet officers, and whom the leaders of the party in the senate respect and recognize as tile real representative of the party in the state. Let no man's claims be considered because of his abil ity to maintain a paid lobby to shout his praises. The possession of wealth should not be a passport to the United States senate, though it has recently become noticeable that the millionaires are on the increase in that body, and in nearly every instance their selection has been made only after tiie party has been scan dalized and charges of corruption unsuc cessfully refuted. Let Oregon declare emphatically that a mere money bag shall not represent her in the upper house of congress.—Communicated. The Kind of 11 Senator We Need. The shrewdest, soundest views on the question of trade with the Philippines that we have yet seen are those of Hon H. W. Corbett, as published in our last issue. His lifelong training, habit, and temperament, carry him intuitively and unerringly to the very heart of a busi ness proposition. There are none better than Mr. Corbett on a question of busi ness or finance, ami this, coupled with the fact that he is known of all to be honest and upright, is sufficient reason why he should be elected to represent Oregon in the United States senate. The next six years is fraught with great com mercial possibilities for this state, and it is very important that we have at headquarters a clear-headed, influential business man who thoroughly under stands these possibilities ami knyws what is necessary to accomplish their realization With Mr. Corbett in the senate, Oregon will have a champion who will never rest until the barriers militating against our trade with the Philippines are beaten down, and we have an open door to our own posses sions. As to appropriations for our own state, another great desideratum, no one has ever excelled the record made along this line by Mr. Corbett when he was in the senate before. It is not ornaments, nor pyrotechnics, nor profound erudition that Oregon needs in the United States senate, but men of strong character, re sourcefulness, business and financial knowledge, ami force. Our crying need is expansion of commerce and enlarge ment of trade. The rest will take care of itself.—Fossil Journal. OHEGOIV ’ti rilt A MAN. Next Wrnalor Should He On« in All the Word Implies. One Dollar if paid in advance, 8ingle numbers five cents. The time has come when there should be a fundamental reconstruction of this system. And the great error of this method of parties selecting a senator, as it has existed, and as it partially exists now, is that it depletes our influence in the halls of congress. The new concep tion, of which we have spoken, is grow ing among the journals of Oregon, and the people are being led to think less of political bosses and more of worthy, able men. It is an acknowledged fact among all thinking men that Oregon must have a transformation in her senatorial repre sentatives or she will soon meet with almost irreparable loss. Conditions de mand this and here is one of them. Silence can little longer secrete the fact that the mouth of the Columbia river is fast filling up with the silt washed down the stream. This filling is taking place at the sea-end of the jetties. Very soon the talk about an open river will lie lost in the cry for an open uiouth of the Columbia. Unless the jet ties are extended, the’ outgoing and in coming commerce of Oregon and south ern Washington will be dependent upon railroads and Puget Sound. Have we a United States senator carry ing sufficient influence, either ill the commercial world or in mental acumen, to secure the appropriation for this need ed jetty extension? Judging from the past the question must be answered in the negative. Viewing the situation from the stand point that neither Senator Mitchell nor Binger Hermann are candidates, the man who would take up this work with a vigor which has characterized liis whole life, is Senator W. II. Corbett of Port land. He is a man who has accom plished something in life, and possesses a lofty standing in the commercial world. He lias done a thousand times more than all his calumniators com bined to make Oregon what she is. On his name no dishonest act has fallen, and he is a broad-minded, capable gen tleman. He would stand for something in the United States senate. His educa tion and never-failing perseverance, his wide acquaintance among men of large wealth and education would be of ma terial assistance in carrying out measures to secure needed improvement.—linker City Republican. One of the most important questions in which the west, the Pacific coast in particular, is interested is whether a tar iffwill be placed on American goods ex ported to the Philippines. By the terms of the treaty with Spain, no tariff can be placed on articles shipped from that country to the archipelago, and to levy on American products would be mi in justice. Hon Henry W. Corbett lias taken a deep interest in this matter and lias become the champion of the Pacific coast. He is in the position to materi ally assist this section in what is really a heart attack, and will probably be where lie can better exert his great influence in a more telling manner. Every citi zen and producer ol Oregon should feel concerned in the congressional proceed ings relative to this cause. All are vi tally affected and should not permit con gress to made a target of the Pacific coast.—Aurora Borealis. Harlhii NO. 52 Giirrlioii Kedmond. Tlie death of Mrs. F. W. Redmond in this city on the night of the 7th inst., after what seemed but a short illness, came as a surprise to a large number of friends and acquaintances. Death was due to internal cancer. A surgical oper ation was performed in October for what was thought to lie a tnmor, but which re vealed to the physicians a very general and malignant cancer. The patient was kept in ignorance of her real condition, and was left to suppose that the opera tion hail been successful, and that recov ery would follow, and that she would then visit California. The last few davs previous to her death she was uncon scious, but a few hours before death came there was a lucid moment and an effort to speak, when the nurse caught from her lips an inarticulate “Lucile, Lu cile”—the name of the little adopted daughter. , Martha Garrison was born in 1854 on the Garrison donation land claim, in the old house still standing just west of the Whiteson hotel. She was the second of three daughters born to Jeptha and Cor nelia Garrison. They moved to Mc Minnville in 1S69, and occupied a little house standing ou the identical spot where now stands McMinnville College. Mother Garrison was an invalid, and up on Martha devolved the care of Lelah, daughter of her eldest sister, who died when the child was an infant. Martha was married to Frank W. Red mond Nov. 19th, 1882. Together they engaged in merchandising in McMinn ville for a number of years. The only members now left of this branch of the Garrison family’ are, Mrs. Belle Holman of Watsonville, Calif., her daughter, Bessie, and Mrs. Lelah Miller of this city. Two months previous to her death Mrs. Redmond received the ordinance of bap tism from Rev. Joseph Hoberg, and ex pressed a determination to live a Chris tian life. The funeral was held on Sunday, at 1 p. m., at the residence, a large number of friends being present. Revs. Jos. Ho berg and II. T. Atkinson made addresses. Burial was made in the family lot in Ma sonic cemetery. l ard of Thank«.
