(Oregon la n. ) Wo think it can bo said with cer tainty that thn voting in no stale him ever been co eccentric hh that, in Ore Kou IiihI Monday. It shows that many thoiiHandrt of Iwcpuhlirans voted at ut terly croHH purpoHi-H with each other; ami moreover, that each voter of many thoiiNauds made up his own bal lot at utterly cross purposes with him self. Hern Is a state In which Ilepuldi ciiiih, or men who call themselvi-H such, aro a grout majority, not let-s than three fifths of tho whole elector ale. For candidates on whom they did agreo they havo thrown 25,0' JO to :in,ouo majoilty. Vet they have xlv en the Democrats thn governor and have thrown but a burn plurality for the lU'publicatl CHlididato for the United States Senate, ut tho same time voting with Hindi unanimity for members of tho legislature that the Democrat havo not a single member, mil of sixty, iu the House, ami but six in thn Senate, one of whom is a "holdover." A multitude of llepublicuiis, for reasons purely personal to themselves, or upon considerations of merely sel fish character, voted for the Demo cratic nominee for Oovernor, rather than for a man of excellent lltness and character, who, though tho ltc puMicaii candidate and nominated under a primary law which assured en tire freedom from bosses, combina tions or machines, was not their ouu particular "man" for tho place; and therefore they preferred a Democratic (iovernor to u Itcpuhlicuu not of their own choice or faction. Tho thought was, "If wo cant' havo it, let it go to the Democrats. " Again, a multitude of Kepublicuns voted HKaiust Hourue for Senator, not IsH-aiise they expected or desired a Democratthough some of them would, since tliey couldn't have their own "man"; but they wautdto beat Kotirnn Ix-fore the people, and throw tho contest into the legislature, w here they would have o chance to juggle it up, and mayhap get a Senator who would respond to their own selfish in terests or demands. At tho same time a Kc publican legislature was neces sary, or there would lie a Democratic Senator; so these persons who helped to beat Hourue yet wanted u chance for their man, or a chance to make sale of the oftlce, voted so solidly everywhere for the Kepiiblican candi dates for tho legislature, that wo have the unexampled result of but six Democrats in that body, mid not a single one in the House. Work of this kind, with its restillts, shows tint extent to which factional spirit exists in the Kepublicuu party oi iircgou. li is tho direct conse quence of factional work heretofore, under the leadership of one or an other, living or dead, whoso contests havo racked and divided the party, and planted within it, permanently, it seems the habit and practise of work ing politics for personal and seltl.-h interests, rather than from any con sideration of tho public wolfure. All know how this hubit was introduced into our politics and who did it. The abuses that pioceed from this action havo led to results here not witnessed in any other state. These factional contests have produced the initiative and referendum, tho direct primaries and Statement No. 1 measures point ed at as occentricitios and "fuds" by people iu other states, but adopted as remedies for the excessive abuses and corruptions hied iu Oregon by these low and Hellish viows of politics, and by the degrading methods employod to support them. A higher view of the ojeefs of po'lt- ical action is the necessary cur". A common expression is. "1 11 not voto the ticket; hero is nothiug iu it Torino." o doubt U there is an other electorate in tho United States so deeply corrupted. It extends equally to tho Democartio party and similarily through it; for this party also has had its full share iu the gen eral corruption, and many times wheu Hepublicaus havo revotled Democrats have suppliod their places aud carried the lU'publclau bosses through. Of these operations the debauched and degraded condition of politics in Ore gon Is the natural and legit imate re sult. Men do not gather grapes of thorns nor figs of thistles. Uoads are getting line now all over the county. Somo complaint is heard of portions of tho road between hero and Warner, but all roads aro iu a condition now to receive substantial work which w ill put thorn 'u excellent shape for the season.

(Minneapolis Tribune.) Corruption in government is the surest breeder of socialism among the people. For all but a few persons whose mental operations are eccentric, the ideas of state socialism represents on ly harmless intellectual vagaries. liut disgust and despair of present institu tions may lead many minds generally sane to entertain tho idea of new gov ernment experiments which seem harmless and prom.'te to be helpful. The cult of socialism has grown mightily on the exposures of cor ruption in government and business made in the last few years. The lat ets news of land indictments iu Ore gon suggests a concrete example of this. Long before the campaign of expos ures begcin, public attention was drawn to the curious development of socialist ideas in Oregon. That pros perous state, where the average stand ard of public intelligen-e is per haps the highest on the Pacific coast, seemed the peculiar fad and vagary. Oregon was the first state to adopt the initative and referendum. It pushed the direct primary father than any other. It has tried singular ex periments with the extreme idea of prohibition. It is always toying with woman suffrage not as an end, but as a means of moral reform. Here are all the signs of a community so disgust ed with the results of government as it is that the people are willing to try almost any political nostrum as a rem edy for them. In the last few years the Federal Courts bave revealed the seed of socialism in Oregon. Its whole public service has been honeycombed with corruption. IU Federal land offices have been debauched by specualtors to rob the people of their heritage. The contagion has spread to state courts, legislation and administration in touch with them. Municipal gov ernment has 1 -en made an agency of private profit at public expense. Stata..vi!j4 ha-e been bought and sold like cattle. When the day of reckoning came three out of four of the Oregon mem bers of Congress were indicted for fel ony, and have escaped punishment only by death and the law's delay. Whole business communities have been ripped up by grand juries, and extradition officers have ravaged other states for accomplices. There is no effect without a cause. Here is the cause of socialism in Oregon. More Land Restored. The Secretary of tho Interior has ordered that the following lands with drawn from settlement under the rec laniatiou act be restored to the public domain, to become subject to entry 90 days after proper notice by the de partment : Malheur project About 534,120 acres, lying in townships 13 to 20 south, ranges 41 to 47 east.

STRANGER BURNS IN VACANT HOUSE, Nothing Left But Bones and Cooked Lungs To Tell Story. CAME FROM SEATTLE. WASH. Man Seen Traveling Afoot Believ ed to be Victim of Tragedy In Crooked Creek. Last Thursday evening J. C. Ahls trom received a telephone message from the Chandler ranch In Crooked Cieek valley stating that a man had been burned up in one of the old bouses on the ranch and requesting him to notify the coroner. Mr Ahls trom and Coroner Harris went out that evening and reported that the charred trunk and skull and parts of limbs of an unknown man were found in tho ashes of what was once the house where Mr. and Aire Chandler, father and mother of Mr. S. B. Chandler, lived several years ago. The old house. was pretty badly delapidated, not hav ing been occupied for several years. The windows and doors and part of the wall was gone, but the delapidated structure had evidently offered shel ter for a weary traveler on Wednesday night, who bad, from all appearances, cooked his supper on a stone hearth where once had been a fireplace. A frying pan, coffee pot and a tin cup , were all that was left of the man's camp outfit, and they were on the large flat stone hearth. From tho position of the body the man had made his bed down, for tho undes turbed ashes of bedclciV.ig could be seen, near the lire-place, in one corner of the house, and evidently slept till he was suffocated before arousing, when he must have raised up and fell toward the hearth, as his head lay In that direction. The body was nearly burned up and nothing left of the limbs but bones. The remains were brougt to the I. O. O. F. cemetery and buried Friday. A man about 35 years of age, of rather slim build weighing about 135 pounds, slightly lame in one leg, rath er light complexioned, with short beard wearing a light colored coat and blue ovrealls, worn out at the knees, carrying a roll of bedding the outside piece being an old store comforter and some cooking utensils in a sack, passed the Loveless place Wednesday. He stopped at the house and cut some wood for a meal, and was seen to pass the Meyers place a little later, and still later was seen at the watering trough on the Chandler grade. One of Chandler's ranchmen also see a man of similar description walking along the road late in the evening near and in the direction of the old house. It is supposed that this is the mau who met his fate in the old house. A stranger, in a strange land homeless and alone, tired and sleepy, and possibly sick, laid down to sleep aud rest and was burned to death by his own camp fire. The man no doubt had relatives, who will never know what became of him, and the people here will probably never know who the man was that burned to death la the old Chandler bouse. Further investigatins by The Exam iner toward the identity of the man brought out the fact that he had came from Seattle, where he had worked in the logging camps. He had also work ed about Spokane. Ie said he had come from that country this spring, but had been down in Californa. Wool Market, Dull. There is little change in the wool situation since our last issue. Bailey Si Massingill have bought a little more at 20 cents. The market seems to be just a trifle sbuky the past few days, several clips being refused at 20 cents. Noue has been bought for loss, how ever, and it is hoped that the price will not drop below that figure. The Shauiko sales were not so brisk as last year's sales, the price ranging one to two cents under those of last year. The Baldw in Sheep &Land Co., who have a flue grade of wool and in the neighborhood of 200,000 pounds, received the highest price, 23 cents, but the rest of the clips brought fig ures around 21 cents. i
