PROBABLY ne Office to be filed at
this coming election will more directly
affect the tax payers of the county,
than that of commissioner. The
judge and two county commissioners
compose the county court for the trans
action of county business and within
this body will be found both the spiget
and the bung of the taxpayers inter-
.ests. This court affixes the rate OF
taxation for county expenses and dis
.burses the county funds. They should
be men whose judgment is good and
who are able to see beyond the present
hour. Mr.. F. ]. Chambers is such a
man and will make. a good commits
sioner.

BENTON county has about her share
of public burdens already without the
additional expense of contesting the
election of officers. Some of our con-
temporaries suggest this contingency
as result of the election of school
superintendent in case the democratic
candidate is elected. The best way to
avoid such expense and uncertainty is
to elect w. E. Yates for that Office and
have an officer who can and will visit
the schools at all seasons and attend to
the boundaries of school districts, and
in all other respects faithfully snbserve
the best interests of the people of this
county. The education of the masses
of our population is the rock on which
our government stands and we can not
afford to jeopardize so important an
interest in unwise litigation.

Mr.. VID1To, the nominee of the re-
publican party for ASSESSOR draws a
pension from the government; not for
the loss of his arm, as has been re-
ported, but from personal disabilities
caused during active service in defense
of his country. Mr.. Vidito was SO
unfortunate as to lose an arm while
working to make living for his fam
lily, and it exhibits degree of base
ness seldom equalled for any one to
represent that his pension was obtain
ed for the loss of his arm when such
is not the case. Stories OF this kind
may GILL i'm for Campaign wadding'
but they make very poor mamunitlon,
and always understood the mark.

WHY NOT.

The governor in his talks has init
mated that the members from Benton
county snapped their votes on the
water bill to secure an appropriation
for the agricultural college. If this
matter had been left to a vote of the
citizens of the county on that ground
the same result would have followed,
the members from Benton county were,
in that case, certainly representing the
people. But what kind Of bargain
did DAVIS, Osburn, Vanderpool and
S. G.. Thompson make in 'S7l Will
Mr.. Pape please tell us.

We want to urge upon. republicans all
over the county the Importance OF
earnest steadfast work from now till
the day of election. Members of the
party in every precinct should organize
an aggressive campaign for the purpose
Of securing as large a vote and as great
a.majority as possible. 1t is to the
best interest of. the county and state to
have a republican government, and
nothing will secure this except fepubli-
can votes. With every republican in
Benton. county fully alive to the inn
portance. of the campaign there will be
no stav at home voters, and the ma
jerity for the ticket will be greater
than two years ago.

E, M. BELKNAP is man above re-
proach. He is an industrious man
and a most worthy citizen in every re-
spect. Although bis health has been
poor and he. has been unfortunate in
some partnership. affairs yet he has
labored assiduously to make the only
machine shops ever established here. a
benefit to the community as well as re-
munerative to himself. Mr. Belknap
is deserving of popular support and,
although his opponent is a worthy
young man, his chances for election
are exceedingly fattering. -

Mr.. s. w. CoNDoN, of Eugene City,
the nominee of the republican party for
district attorney, will address the citi-
zens of Corvallis, on the political issues
of the day, May 26th. Mr.. Condor
was born and educated in Oregon and
has practiced law for several years.
He has, by his ability and energy,
acquired large practice and is already
looming up amongst the distinguished
members of the bar in Oregon as one of
the highest order of talent in his pro-
fession. He was elected to represent
Lane county in the legislature two
years ago by large majority and
proved himself to be brilliant orator
so much so that his efforts were
widely complimented during the last
session. He is one of those men who
attend strictly to the matter in hand
and push that for all there is in it.,
whether it be the passage of bill or
argument of case. He is we'll quail
ifed to perform the duties of district
attorney and will not fear to do his
duty whether it will add to his popu-
larity or not. Besides his party sup
port Mr.. Condor has large personal
following and it is not improbable that
he will receive handsome majority on
election day.

FoR county surveyor Mr.. O. V. Hurt
is a very agreeable candidate. He
understands that business thoroughly.
He is an experienced woodsman and
can trace an old line as we'll as any
man in the country. He is very
painstaking man and will never leave a
survey before 1t is complete. His
work can be relied upon. And the
people want that kind of county sur.
veyor. They want man whose occu
patton is such that he can attend to
their work when they need a surveyor
Mr.. Hurt fills the bill IN this respect
also. 1t may be that his opponent does
not possess all of these qualifications.

DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY.


AS the Portland water bill seems to
be the whole. stock in trade of. the
democratic party it is well to observe
Esome acts of that party and individual
efforts of those who are at this tinae
paving the political dust. (See House
Bill No. 80, page 337, House Journal,
session l8s7) The original bill pro-
vided for the issuance Of non-taxable
bonds to the amount of $500, ,0O0.. The
amendment proposed to increase the
sum asked for in the original bill to
ST 100000, same kind of bonds, s'non-
taxable for county, state and municipal
purposes" Every candid person
would naturally suppose it impossible
to find democrat, especially one who
lis at present crying loudly against the
iniquity of non-taxable bonds, who
would vote for the first proposition
much less the last one. Alas for the
frailty of human nature, if we could
|only vote by ballot in legislative mat
tiers, and wipe out the annoying roll
call, what blessing it would be to
future candidates. Our duty, how
ever, is positive and we must examine
the record no matter how many "noble
Romans" suffer. First, there is Lark
Bilyeu, an N. R.; next, Biggs (of Pen
noyer rump railroad commission);
next, Hon. M. M. Davis, a young N.
R.; next Hon. r. A. Miller, our 'Bob," !"
whose father crossed the plains, etc. :,
ETC., ETC.; next, Hon. John Osburn-
don't that beat all2 But quakerish ap-
pearances are deceptive. And who
would believe it!-Hon. D. M. Van
derpool, our fine old granger friend.
Don't hurry us please,-the next name
nearly took our breath-Hon. s. G.
Thompson, the immaculate candidate
for state senator on the democratic
ticket Is it not surprising how solldly
these "noble Romans" stood up for
that bill, to issue $1,2OO,O00 non-tax-
able bonds4 They never realized what
damnable crime they had committed
until his excelleny, Governor Pennoyer,
11,ol t1n 4oor of tl,n hor,on
with his private secretary and cracked
his whip, when every one hunted the
smallest possible hole and crawled
into it to await the day when his ex-
cellency needed them to re-nominate
and assist in eating dirt, to the end
that he might be reelected. There
was strong democratic opposition to
the governors veto of this bill. One
prominent gentleman of this county,
who assisted in manufacturing DEM
ocratic platform at the late county
convention condemning the republi-
cans for their part on the water bill,
grew quite lachrymose "a habit Of his)
when he described the governors Gin
humanity to man" in deprivlng the
people of Portland of the privilege of
pure water, he said democrats liked
pure water, once in awhile, and he
believed Pennoyer was crank Of con-
siderable magnitude. Yet to-day this
man and all those "noble Romans
who supported the Portland water bill
will continue to sing Pennoyer's
praises until the sun goes down On
the End day of June, 1890.

BENTON county needs man In the
state senate who has her interests at
heart. A man who is acquainted with
the divers wants of the county, and
they are many; and also person of
intelligence and energy enough to ad-
vocate her cause and the best interests
of the state, in an effective manner.
Hon. C. B. Crosno's record in the
legislature last term is criterion to
indicate his ability and willingness to
serve his county acceptably as senator.

II FRIDND, INDEED,
To what institution can Oregon point

To what institution can Oregon point
with more pride than the State Agri-
cultural College7 What single factor
more clearly indicates a condition of
future greatness to the people Of Ben
ton countya There was time, within
the memory of all, when other locali-
ties, seeing the value, of this institu-
ton to any community, strove nightly
to tear it from it's foundations and
draw unto themselves the chief seat of
learning in the Northwest, There was
another time when the legislature. OF
Oregon gave the citizens of this county
an assurance of cooperation on certain
conditions. The citizens fulfilled those
conditions, but subsequent legislature
composed partially of other members,
witnessed spirit arising within itself
to heed not former promises but remove
the college.
With this spirit there also came to
the front the friends of Benton county,
and men imbued With sense of JUS
tice toward her claims. Among these
men of integrity, and occupying a
position of influence, was the secretary
of state, member of the board of
regents and a man in whose heart
there is no guile. From his large
acquaintance amongst the members,
and his intimate connection with the
legislature, Geo. w. Mcbride found
himself in position to materially aid
or mar the prosperity OF the Oregon
Agricultural College. And how did he
employ his enviable prestige2 Ask to
whom was due the appointment and
selection of the committee who made
FAVORABLE report to the last legislature
on the condition of this school, and
you will find, when correctly informed,
that in this important matter Mr.. Nc
Bride welded a powerful influence.
And the report of this committee was
the hinge upon which the door to all
the subsequent appropriations and ben
efts. swung. An unfavorable report
from this committee would have virtu.
ally brought the institution to a stand
still. To the wisdom of his advice,
the sagacity of his choice and the ear
nestness of his purpose the people OF
Benton county owe, in large meas
ure, the result of that committees
work. And in the appropriations for
the benefit of the college which follow
ed, and especially that for the erection
of a large and commodious dormitory,
by means of which it became possible
for many young persons to attend the
school who otherwise could not, the
valuable support given by Mr.. Mcbride
is inestirnabIe. Without his devotion
to this object it is doubtful, indeed, if
the permanence of this location could
have been maintained.
In other respects Mr.. Mcbride has
made capable and efficient secretary
Of state. He has conducted the de-
partment of state for Oregon with dig
nifty and credit, and no reasonable
objections can be urged to his contin-
uing to serve in this capacity. The
people of Benton county owe it to their
own best interests to roll up hand
some majority for Secretary Mcbride
next June, and if the public's loyalty
to its own good can be relied upon they
will do so.

WHAT OTHERS SAT-.

Detroit Tribune;
Mr.. Melbourne Ii. Ford, the Demo
cratic nominee IN the fifth, goes into
the campaign with the prestige OF one
term IN Congress and most crushing
defeat at the polls when he asked fora
second term. The same influences
that beat HIM by plurality of nearly
900 two years ago will beat him again.
Those influences are the deep-rooted
convictions of the voters, asserted at the
polls. Mr.. Ford is a rampant free
trader. HIS one term in Congress gave
him a record which the voters of his
district most emphatically condemned
the very first opportunity that was
offered them for free and full express
sion OF their feelings. His antagonism to
the farmers Interests wasso pronounced
that the farmers OF his district
ignored him entirely and sent their pc
titions TO a Republican member of an
other Michigan district for presentation
to Congress. His hostility 10 home IN
dustreS was so marked that hundreds
of workingmen in mills and factories,
who had before voted the Democratic
ticket, turned against him and worked
for the election Of his opponent, Capt.
Belknap. The same influences that
, beat him so Overwhelmingly two years
ago are against him nov, and Maj. G..
". Watkins viii receive their support.
And when elected, Maj. Watkins will
be in fact IS well as IN name the repre-
sentative of that district, and the farm
ers will not have TO go TO another dis
trict in order tC get hearing before
Congress.
