IF the City of Corvallis has duly

Council encourage the project OF
deprlving him of the work which
legitimately and properly belongs to
his Office by listening to the propo-

the City laws?

The vast railroad interests and
like corporations which appear to be
swallowing up and concentrating the
principal wealth of the country looks
truly alarming that they should
amase such an immense amount OF
riches in so short time, The peo-
pie, however, in their sovereign power
have the right beyond any possibility
of donht to so regulate the freights,
fares and other workings of these
artificial personages as will keep them
within the bounds of gaining a fair
and reasonable compensation only
on the actual value of the outlay.
The people sooner or later will be
compelled to take these matters in
hand in order to protect themselves
and their posterity from the grasp
ing and overeaching workings OF
these monopolies. A postal tele-
graph would be in order in the Uni
ted States.

The government works at New
port under the supervision of Engin-
eer Polhemus has progressed finely.
They have extended the work out
fifteen hundred feet to the edge OF
the middle channel and it is calcu-
lated that the present appropriation
will complete the work out this dis
tance which we are informed is as
far out as the work can be put.
When it is completed it is expected
that it will make quite an improve
ment in the depth of water on the
bar SO as to permit quite large YES
sells to enter. This fall will tell what
good the improvement will be.

A majority of the bench composing
the Supreme Court of Texas: hold
the act ofthe legislature unconstitu-

of whisky where local option has
been adopted. Their decision is
based upon the constitutional pro-

legislature to pass law to prohibit
the sale ofintoyicating liquors.

There are some rumblings in the
air that there are persons in this
county who are endeavoring to
straddle both republican and demo-
cratic horses in order to ride into
prominent official position. 1t is said
they are SO eager for office that they
smlte their former party friends in
order to carry favor with the demo
cratic horse. 1t is sad but never
theless true that in becoming so anx
lous as to attempt to ride two horses
at once the rider almost universally
gets thrown off of both horses and
generally before the race is scarcely
commenced. Straightforward, hon.
est and upright men who are true to
their friends are finally the success
tui ones, while the two face. doe face
and traitor to his friends is left where
he finds bis just reward.

Our city is very exacting regard
ing high license and questions of this
nature. "Hoodlums'' who hapnen
in the city and become too over
joyful are taken up and calaboosed
but the drink shops who run their
dives all day on Sunday with a full
crowd on the inside are permitted
to sail along in defiance of the laws
or more properly putting it they are
permitted to sail along as happy as
clans because of a failure to enforce
the laws. Some of those houses
which fail to take out license on the
inside on Sundays sound like busy
hume OF. bees;- and still parties whose
duty it is to execute the laws can not
begin to hear anything of the. kind
and if they should hear it thew
would not begin to think of investi-
eating the matter to ascertain if. the
laws were being violated.

as the newspapers have been endeav.
oring to create such a feeling in favor
OF Samuel J. Tllden as will result in

form and purity in elections how the
old man sent his money out to Ore

for both revising and printing the

it because it is feared that some one
