Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit ft — not necessar.lj
from tlie parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. 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.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma
nently all the poisonous virus must be
iliminated from the blood—every vestage
rf it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
» the only medicine that can reach deep-
leated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
'’'rm-- never returns.
Cancer beginsoften in a small way, as the

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.

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.

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.

There is a new conception of our duty
in electing a United States senator for
Oregon, and in it we see the augury of
a better state of affairs than our state
has heretofore known. The question
which the state legislators should put tie-
fore them is, what is absolutely and
demonstrably the best reason to apply
when selecting a man for a place in the
senate at Washington. In choosing men
for this important and high trust, we in
