COOP FOR YAQUINA BAY.-It is
reported that a project is being
discussed which aims to purchase
the narrow gauge road, change its
system to broad gauge, traverse
down to Yaquina bay along the
coast and connect with the Dona-
hue lines to California. Yaquina
bay seems to be enjoying a small
boom at present from the amount
of real estate transactions. Being
Oregon's chief watering place, it
will receive quite boom this
coming summer.-Oregonian.

d.. p. THOMPSON:.

The chief executive of the state OF
Oregon ought TO- be man for whom
his fellow citizens have n occ sion to
blush. He should be man of dig
nifty and of good sense. A man for
whom the press at large, the disinter-
ested press, our critics from other
states would find occasion more for
praise than ridicule. If we elect for
governor man whose official acts call
forth the sneer of contempt from our
ebservant neighbors shall we not have
ourselves to thank for the low estimate
placed upon our intelligence by them.
We want for our chief executive one
who will, by the wisdom OF his official
attitude towards the public veal, pro-
mote the best interests of the common
wealth. The republican party has
nominated such man. In the Hon.
d. P. Thompson, the people. of Ore
gon find a man who is irreprcachable
in his character, dignifed in his life
and actions, and an Oregonian in the
fullest sense of the word with all the
patriotism, worth and intelligence
which that implies. Mr.. Thompson
is a man of broad views. He is not
man to sacrifice the public good at
the dictate of narrow prejudices. He
is not man to prostitute his official
position for his private gain, or at the
solicitation of his political friends.
He has nothing of private nature to
gain by the elevation to the highest
Office within the gift of Oregonians.
But there is vein Of patriotism, un
sullied by sordid ambition, which runs
through every true citizen within our
state. Patriotism which impels noble
self-sacrl6cing men to labor for their
fellow-men. This is the spirit in
which Mr.. Thompson has entered into
the gubernstorial contest and it is the
sentiment which strikes the spark Of
loyalty in every breast which recog-
nizes it. Men of this stamp.are not
obliged to stoop to the abuse or mis-
representation of their political op-
ponents to find favor among men.

IT is generally agreed amongst the
most profound legal authorities in the
state that women cannot legally per-
form the duties of any county Office.
But even could they do SO; imagine a
lady school superintendent making
tours of this county inspecting and
keeping in good order the work under
her control! In smaller counties and
more thickly populated districts where
facilities for travelling are better and
the highways passable at all times, pos
sibly this objection might not be SO
effectively urged as it can be here.
But everybody knows the difficulty
under which a lady would labor to
make even brief trips throughout the
county during summer months to say
nothing of the almost impossibility of
such efforts during the balance of the
year. There has never been a lady
school superintendent in Oregon, nor
can there be until change is wrought
in our constitution. In 1886 a wo
man was chosen to be candidate fol
school supt., in one of the counties oi
the state but, finding that she was in
eligible to the office, her husbands
name was inserted, the gentleman was
elected and she used his name in all oil
the official acts cannected with that
Office for the term, she being simply a
deputy Should lady receive ma
jority of votes cast for superintendent
this June, in our opinion the legality
of her qualifying could, and probabl,
would, be successfully contested. Bu'
fiom present indications, lady vii
not be elected.

The best interests of Benton coun-
ty-are urged when some of the quail,
ties possessed by c. E. Moor, for rep
resentative to the state legislature, are
mentioned. He is man who will be
faithful to the interests of his locality.
He has good judgment and ready
intelligence, and has had many years
of experience in public affairs. On
matters relating to taxation,, public
appropriations, and legislation on finan-
cial. questions, he is especially saga
cious, and Oregon's greatest need to-
day is legislators who can handle these
questions, with wisdom. Common
ssiorse sense" is necessary quallfica-
ton for legislator, no doubt; but ex-
perience and sagacity make that attri-
butte more useful, and every citizen oi
the state who casts his ballot for a
representative to the state legislature
this year, will, in a greater or lesser
degree, be affected by the result.
There are some laws on the statute
books of Oregon which need, and will
receive. some attention in January
1891, such as taxation of securities
ETC., and the persons entrusted with
this work ought to- be able to give
them an Intelligent and comprehensive
adjustment.

Treasurer Archer, of Maryland, brings
to mind the fact that there have been
several democratic state treasurers who
have helped themselves to the money
and securities entrusted to thei1 keep
ing. A list of these defauluing state
ftreasurers and the amounts of their
shortage is as follows:
State Treasurer Churchill. of
Arkansas, shortage. -. S 80, 522 OIL
State Treasurer Polk, of Ten.
nessee, shortage. ......-. 400, 900 90
State 'rrearurer Vincent, of
Alabama, shortage ....... 243, 148 "a
State Treasurer Tate, of Ken
tucky. shortage. ......... 247,o2s so
State Treasurer Burke, of
Louisiana, shortage. -. 1927 900 90
State Treasurer Nolan, of Mis-
souri,, shortage .......... 81, ,445 90
State Treasurer Hemingway,
of Mississippi, shortage -. $4,000 90
State Treasurer Archer, of
Maryland, shortage -...... 200, 900 90
Total. ............... $2345, IA 45
An examination of this last will show
that these democratic defalcations have
all occurred in states where political
frauds have been most fragrant. If
there is no respect for the rights of in
dividuals the moral sense of the COM
munlty becomes blunted and the rights
of the state are not considered.
It will be remembered that when the
republican party in 1885 yielded up its
power after twenty-four years Of un-
interrupted control over the affairs Of
the government. the democrats asserted
that when they got at the books they
would be sure to discover all sorts of
dishonesty. In fact, this was one of
their great campaign cries; and the then
vice presidential democratic candidate
was especially vehement IN his charges
of fraud upon the treasury by the re-.
publicans. 1t will also be remembered
that when the books were examined,
the most critical search could only dis
cover shortage of two cents, and even
this sum it was afterwards found could
not have been stolen.
The contrast between republican and
democratic conduct of funds, state and
national, is very great. The different
results are due to the different stand
ards Of honesty. A free ballot and
fair count are essential to honesty of
administration OF state as well as ma
tional affairs.-To Blade.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that IS by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con.
dition OF mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian tube. When this tube gets inf1amed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
ton OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness-caused by catarrh
that we cannot cure by taking Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Queer Matrimonial Experience.

Three times in twenty years August
Young has become the husband OF the
same woman. In 1870 he married Miss
Emma c. Ensign, of Illinois, who was
only IA years of age. They went to Fresno
CAL, where he started in the shoe business.
After three years his wife got a divorce
for habitual intemperance and resumed
her maiden name. She tried another man,
but tired of him in five months, was di-
vorced, and went back to Fresno, where
she remarked Young. They lived happily
until few months ago, when the woman
went through the same performance She
resumed her maiden name and went to
San Francisco. She again returned, and
her husband, who had removed to Selma,
married her for the third time.

a Rare Treat,

Arrangements have been practically
completed for lecture from Japanese
scholar. lshawaka Kizo, within the mex,
two weeks and during the county in
stitute. 1shawaka Kzo is the son
OF governor of one of the provinces of
Japan, and was student at the Imperial
university at Toxic little over four
years ago, when he was banished by the
Mikado, with 500 other students and law
yers, for signing petition asking for
greater personal liberty for the people
and the offence also caused his father
to disinherit him. He had studied the
English language so that he could read
and write it. without the aid of master,
intending to make a tour of observation
in the United States. and here he came at
once. Acting on the advice of the Japa-
nese consul at San Francisco, he entered
the Iowa State university, and this spring
he graduated from its law department.
He is now free to return home, but pro-
poses before doing 80 to take full
course in political economy and jurispru-
dence at Cornell university, that he may
be better fitted for work of national re-
form which he proposes to undertake in
Japan. The Messrs. Seal.le, of this city,
became acquainted with him in Iowa
City and speak in the highest terms of
his ability.

had just passed inspection when the official
undertook to be Familiarity friendly with
one OF the boys who seemed more reserved
than the rest. To his surprise the boy
seemed afraid of him, and when he play
fully caught at him the boy Jumped stiff
legged" as jockeys say. He could scarcely
bend. Thinkingi it peculiar deformity he
pressed the lad for an explanation when
the latter commenced crying. The mys-
terry was soon solved. His clothing was
literally padded and stiffened with yalu-
ables of many kinds; he was incased in
wealth. Some clever rogues had during
the voyage induced the parents to consent
to the fraud and tutored the bey well; but
he broke down at the critical moment and
they lost their property. In the days of the
chignon there was much more smuggling
of diamonds and jewelry than now; that
receptacle was too convenient to be neg
lected.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the
Seizure room is that where mail pack
ages are stOred-from 200 to 500, or even
more, at once. Many people think they
can send small articles free in the mail,
and about Christmas time letters by the
hundred are seized containing rings, hair
jewelry, gold ornaments, bits of fine lace
kid gloves and other tokens of affection
These the consignee can recover by simply
paying the duty. Occasionally, however,
queer" book or picture is seized, and
there is no recovery. IL a suspected letter
is registered, it is delivered to the con-
signee, who must open it in the presence Of
an official 1t is rather odd that there
should ever have been smuggling in such
heavy and bulky articles as iron, timber
and the like; but it was done by Disgusting
the goods.
When, for instance, "old scrap iron" was
admitted duty free the ingenious foreigner
soon found a method of putting down"
the finest of metal with a mixture that
made it look as if it were the refuse of a
blacksmith shop. Unknown thousands OF
tons were fraudulently entered thus before
the trick was discovered Similarly when
sugar was graded by color the importers
learned how to give a dark hue to the
finest grades without injury; but now the
polariscope beats all that. All the old
tricks are exposed and can be defeated
but who knows how many new tricks are
in operation? J, H BEADLE.
