THE LAST RESORT.

Democratic electioneering schemes like
drownding men grasping for straws are
prompted to publish such unfounded state
ments as the following: More suits have
been commenced against Sol King as Sheriff,
growing out of misconstruction, mis-appli-
cation or ignorancs of the law, than were
ever commenced against any other Sheriff
the county ever had. in the same length OF
time." The author of this startling revela-
tion is certainly inexcusably ignorant or
else willfully perverting the truth; for we
defy any person to point to single instance
in which Sheriff King as such has ever been
sued. arising from either of the causes
above stated. In nearly all of the cases in
which Sheriff King has been sued for any
cause, he has won the cases and thus proved
that the parties who sued him were wrong.
But in none of the cases was he sued on ac-
connt OF his misconstruction, misapprehen-
sion or ignorance of the law; and an asser-
tion to that effect is certainly willful
electioneering lie The fact of it is that
King is thoroughly temperate and indus
trious man and for this re.son has never be-
come incorporate, and has-theretore
attended to his official duties thoroughly
and completely and he will certainly be
elected by large majority regardless OF the
| lies circulated to defeat him unless the peo
pie fail to appreciate the work of the best
Sheriff Benton county ever had.

A PROBABLE FAILURE. !

The Cinnamon from the lower washhouse
are digging a sewer and laying it with
wooden box along the North side of MIR.
Langworthys store towards the river. They
are not useing level on it and it is doubt
ful when completed whether it will have
fall enough to run it to the river. These
Mongoiiaus seem willing to do this work in
order to comply with the demands of the
city government to convey their filth away,
and it does seem to us that the city author
tiles would appoint some one to oversee the
work so as to be sure that it had sufficient
fall to lie of use when done. Or the city
might join work with them and make a
decent and effectual sewer in c,se like
this. About year ago the Cinnamon also
dug sewer along the north side of MIR.
H. E. Harris store to the river, and like
the one in process of construction there
was no one on the part of the city who
made it their business to oversee the work
so AS to make it of sufficient fall to carry
the water to the river, and hence it was not
success. Our city management only
learps by experience and that very slowly.
Careful thoughtful reflection for the benefit
of the city is not often applied.

DEMOCRATIC TESTIMONY.

The following handsome compliment paid
Hon. e. F. Moody by the Walla Walla
Statesman, strong Democratic journal:
2. r Moody, the Republican candidate for
governor, placed the first steamboat on the
wsaters Of Lake Pen d. Oreille. This was
somewhere about 1856 or 81, and wasior the
purpose of obtaining the Montana trade;
great efforts were made to this end, but the
lateness Of the seasons and depth OF snow
in the Bitter Root ranges beyond the head
OF navigation at Cabinet Rapids on Clarke 3
Fork prevented the complete success of the
efforts, and the boat was withdrawn. MIR.
Moody is an old pioneer, and the Republi-.
cans could not have nominated man with
more chances of success than he. He has a
practical and thorough knowledge of the
country and has been educated up to it.
The fact that he has been successful in bust
ness should increase his chances on the
ground that man who can keep his own
affairs in order can safely be trusted with
those of State like Oregon. He is vigorous
hale and hearty, and a gentleman Of mos,
excellent reputation for integrity.

WHAT GEORGE u.AS NOT DONE.

An exchange very appropriately says:
After the long and creditabla list of what
Mr. George "has' done in Congress, now
is good time to note some things that te
mas not DONE 1t is notorious that Cali
fornia land company have been trying for
years to steal about 10000 acres of land
claimed to be granted to the military road
company in Lake county. A bill twas pre-
sented to Mr.. George early last winter
which was a cold steal of that much land;
and Mr.. George promptly refused to intro
duce it in Congress subsequently it was
introduced by Representative Rosecrans
and Mr. George declares that if it passes 1t
will be because he cannot prevent it. Dem.
ocratic papers have been trying to tell what
Mr.. George has not done but have inadver-
teutly overlooked this item. Will they
kindly mention it now:

GOODNESS.

In his attempt to keep 'stif upper lip
and put on bold front, W. s. McFadden,
we understand, claims that the course OF
the GAZETTE toward him in the present
campaign win do him more good than harm.
If such is the case, then Mr.. McFadden will
certainly be overdone with goodness; be-
cause from the best information that we
can gain there are certainly a great number
Of persons in this county who are turning
their attention to Mr.. McFadden in simi-
lar manner to what the GAZETTE has been
doing and most of them appear very much
determined in their purpose. 1t is pretty
certainly decreed that after election day
Mr.. McFadden will discover that he has
been the recipient of so much of that kind
of good that it will result in Mr.. Beans
election to the bench.

SUBYERFUGE.

We are creditably informed that Mr..
McElroy's opponent for the Office of State
Superintendent of Public Instruction-Mr.
Worthington--is ingeniously circulating the
report among the Wasco people that if Mr..
McElroy is elected he will throw all of his
influence and preferences in favor of Benton
county colleges and institutions. This
charge clearly and emphatically implies
that Mr.. Worthin9tou would be governed
by local preferences. Possibly this un
founded report may have its influence up
north where Mr.. McElroy is not known
served his official career for six years past
understand full well that he performs his
official duties with equal justice to all, and
without fear of, or favoriteism to any one.
Mr.. McElroy is hi.h minded honorable
gentleman who occupies plane too eleva-
ted in the affairs of this life to permit him
sell t. ever think of STOPPING so low, as his
opponents would like the people to think of
him. When We first heard the reports of
Lambert Worthington or Worthington Lam

name beng hades according to the revision)
or something more suitable to the incina-
tions of the man. Prof. McElroy has
made no attack on his opponent, nor has
he condescended to the low and transparent
device of inventing spurious articles, and
signing anonymous names to them, as
Worthington Lambert has done. And in
reference to Lambert Worthington'
latest effort that appeared in the daily Stand

same article as we are creditably informed
was answered emphatically and thor

at straws in the hope to work on the feel
ings of those approached and thereby secure
a vote in that manner. The Republican
members of the Campbellite church are also
being hunted down and an effort made to
draw them up in line and shoot them off for
the Boss and thus that church is to be
catpawed into his unholy schemes. 1t
certainly would be blessing to the church
and an honor to the bench to elect such a
man as Judge whose use for church and all
other thing is to assist him in effecting his
purposes.

ISAAC HOLMAN.

The Albany Democrat says: Isaac Hol-
man, of Soap Creek, is running on the Dem
ocratic ticket in Benton county for Repre-
sentative. He is Democrat of the old
school, an honest and conscientious man,
and will run like scared wolf. ;" A
Democrat of the old school in Oregon likely
means that he is Grover Democrat. AT
any rate he is of such an old school that he
will never be elected.

4 DEMOCRATS rIEWs OF HIS TICKET

Hon. Ben HAYDEN, of Polk county, was
present at the late Democratic State Con-
vention and when Mr.. Joseph Smith was
called upon for speech he had to pass
where Ben was seated, on his way to the
speak ers stand. The Polk county States
man assumed one of his indescribable looks
OF mock gravity and remarked; "There
goes the corpse, where are the pallbearers ?
After the nominations were all made Ben
said to friend that the ticket struck him as
peculiar as it had dead man at the head,
a man with one leg in the middle and a
measuring worm" at the tail-En.

self. Judge Shattuck, on the other hand,
is on the decline of life. Has quit the prac-
tice OF the law, and is living on his farm.
He is in poor health and withan is not a
student quality which is necessary for
any good judge or lawyer. It matters but
little what the law is if it cannot be fairly
and correctly administered. Every man in
this State is interested in having able law
yers elected to the Supreme Court. The
Office of judge is not political. A man for
this office should be valued for and ON ac-
count of his fitness for the position, and not
so much on account of his political views.

W. S. M'E.4DDEN.

A Eugene City paper says: ''W. s. Nc

this dist rict, was in town several days this
week. He devoted his time TO beering up
the boys and telling snutty stories. He
is a success at story telling, in fact regular
clown"
The Albany Democrat also says: "Ju'lgs

suppose that the spelling Of the name had
to be changed on such occasions.

none in it, for he has been continually IN
the school-room since the campaign opened.
And, in general. we think this office and
that of Chief Justice should be, as far as pos
s,ble, free from all political bias which would
certainly attend regular canvass. Az a
proof of the continued confidence reposed IN
Prof. McElroy by the Board OF Trustees OF
Corvallis College. they have selected him for
the ensuing year to the place he has filled
with 80 much ability for several years.

: PREACHER FENTON.
An exchange SAYS:


''Mr Fenton is licensed preacher in the
Christian church as well as lawyer. He
does not deny it and is surely none the
worse for it. Democratic editors are frantic
ally denying it, however, and the logical
inference is; that they consider it disgrace
full in Mr. Fenton to breach the gospel or
else they feel uncomfortable in decent com
pany, and want to drag thc;. congressional
candidate down to a le: el with themselves -
Or else they have consciousness of being
guilty of thai inconsistency which is not ex-
piaiaabie, because when Hervy Hines ran
for congress they made as much noise about
his professional calling because he was a
preacher as if he WAS thereby the worst man
on top of ground. Oh, consistency!-what
man can find it in the Democratic party

court house the other evening was deserv-
ed No man in the End Judicial District

B. W. Wilson, as all know, has heretofore
filed the office of County Clerk satisfactory
to everyone. In fact he has the name of
Icing, and is, the hest clerk in the State,
ani no one seems to ever have objected to
his continuance in office, except the length
of time he has already been there. which is
certain poor excuse, so long as he does
his business for the people and serves them
better than anybody else that they can get.
The people will certainly remember and
elect him on next Monday.

SUPREME JUDGE.

There are many reasons for the reelection
of Judge Lord 10 the office of Justice of the
Supreme Court. He is first-class lawyer
and hard student Whatever is necessary
for him to do in his official capacity will be
well done. He is in the prime of lifo and
in good health. and is man of undoubted
integrity. He is not politician, neverthe-
less he is Republican and will at the
next election no doubt vote the Republican
ticket. As judge on the bench he will de-
eide fairly and without regard to party ties.

RESURRECTEE.

The resurrectionists who meta short time
ago in Portland. and brought tn life the
defunct carcass of the late Rev. Joseph
Smith, little imagined that the departed
would SO soon again compel them to atteud

dispense with canvass through the State

caught either dead or alive with haunted
suit of clothes or one who was merely around.

Dreadful Suspense.
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The other day the driver Of Baker street
car put his head in at the door and glared
around upon twelve passengers and called out:
''Who put that nickel with a hole in it in the
fare box?'
Every woman sat bolt upright. and every
man saw something through the opposite win
dow.
WHO put that nickel in?" continued the
driver in tones that rasked every breast
Five women looked down on the floor, and
seven men looked suspclOusly at each other
because, whoever 1t was must put me in a
good one" said tho driver, as he glared at each
one iD turn.
The suspense was now dreadful The women
began to breathe hard. and four out of the
seven men turned red in the face At length,
as the tension became intense, man who had
been deeply interested in a magazine arose and
said:
ut couldn't have been me- for / was irving
to beat the company out of my fare but will
drop in dime in order to end this melancholy
scene and let the car 60 On.''
(Which l don't want this ere occurrence to
occur again." muttered the driver, and he shut
the door and persuaded the horse to awake and
move on.

What jacques Da,nnla Will Have to
Endure

French journalist once described to me the
way that things are carried nthere when Sarah
is at home. She will come down stairs saw at
eleven o'clock, and will find half dozen people
waiting to speak to her on business; a poet with
new play, an actor out Of an engagement, a
provincial manager in search of new attractions
theatrical cOstumer who wants her custom. a
painter who desires to paint her portrait, &c
Sarah will talk with No. l for minute. then
saying. wait moment" she will pass to No
=. and in like manner to No. g. and SO on. Mean
while the minutes pass, and finally in comes her
chief waiter to annOuce that breakfast is ready
Then Sarah counts the persons present. Cone
twO-sX-eight- ten-ah yes, fourteen-hOw
lucky that it was not thirteen Fourteen covers
Baptiste." And everybody is asked to breakfast
Her mode of housekeeping is to say the least
peculiar. She will give her steward $500 at
time, and when, at the end Of a week or So he
comes to her for more, she will say vaguely
'Why, thought gave you some money the
other day: All spent is it?' Yet the ladys for
tune is set down at present at $40 coo. Good
Catholics in France were good deal scandalized
at the fact OF Sarah's marrying in Lent. and the
witty Parisians have already dubbed her the
Lenten bride. They say she ought to be called
La Maree DIES J0urs Maigress in contradistinc-
ton to La Mariee de Mardi Gras. As for myself
! wonder why she married. Was it a CAPRICE
like the rest OF her sudden freaks, or is she really
tired of her wild Bohemian life and DESTROYS Of
seeing at her side a husband whose duty and
whose legal right it will be to take care Of her
and protect her? Both solutions Of the riddle
are to be found in that strange, contradictory
nature. 1t has been said of her by one who knew
her well, that Sarah Bernhardt has soul to be
saved" Unlike the majority of her female COM
rades and rivals, she is woman capable Of true
and enduring friendships-a woman with a
heart. Born under happier auspices and trained
amid different surroundings, this erratic, gifted
being might have become a very noble woman
as she is most fascinating one.-L,.cy H.
