Ii might have bcen well for Mr.. Clark
son To qualify his appeal to republicans to
read only republican newspapers. The
three most influential organs Of the grand
old party in the West are the Chicago
Tribune. the ~. Paul Pionerr-Press and the
81. Louis Globe Democrat, all Of which are
now busily engaged in dccrying admins
tration mcasurcs. They do not approve
Of the Mckinley tariff bill. and have used
some very plain aud even threatening
language in regard 10 il, and the Pioneer
Press is absolutely fiat footed In its de-
nunciation of the silver bill. Does Mr..
Clarkson wantt the republicans OF the West
To pin their faith Ia these papers.

FROM the tnlcaEn Times,
Paris:is doing a great injustice to Sena-
tor Ingalls,, the wild cyclone of the Kansas
plains. II seems that the ''mashers" of
the French capital have taken to wearing
b~right-colorcd shirts with jet ornaments,
which they expose as fully as is proper by
means of low-cut vests, and the credit Of
introducing this fashion is given To the
prince Of Naples, when every American
baby knows that ever since Ingalls, under
tool To smash" Miss Columbia the sena-
tor has arrayed himself i'm n shirt of brill
liant carime and gloried i'm ornaments as
black as the face of a native of Congo.

As an indication of her attainment
to metropolitan ways and ideas, Min
neapolis points presumably with pride
10 the fact that her coroner is over
worked. On a single day last week he
was called to investigate a suicide. an
attempted suicide, and a fatal fall from
"a three-story building. On the same
basis of calculation certain small towns
in Arizona and Texas are even o
metropolitan than big Minneapolis.

a permanent residence in the electoral

M%aginnis Hits From the sho ulder.


From the Chicago Times.
Martin Maginnis, who was duly elected
United States senator by the democrats of
Montana and then rejected, passed
through the city yesterday on his way
home from Washington. "Thcrc was no
contest" said he, vigorously, ''it was n
steal. There was never any stage in the
game where the democrats had any show.
A story has been going the rounds to the
effect that Hauscr said the democrats had
stolen our state and hen the republicans
had knocked them down and taken il
away from them. That is utterly false.
Hauser never made any such statement.
That the people i'm Montana think the
senatorial decision was q fraud is evident
by the recent elections at Butte City,
Helena, and other towns where there have
been large democratic gains. Voters Of
both parties know that the democrats
have been cheated or robbed Of their rep
resentation in congress, and il will be
many a day before n like diabolical plot
a be successfully sprung OF them again.
The better class Of republicans are
ashamed Of their new state and ashamed
of their old party, and will ally themselves
with the democrats rather than he sub
jected to disgrace"

The results of last weeks elections
show that the democratic tidal wave
that swept over the West in March and
April continues to roll onward with
irresistible force. The victory mt It.
Paul was more decisive than any had
reason to anticipate. The democrats
won substantial victories throughout
Indiana, the home of Harrison. OF
late the democrats sweep the deck i'm
nearly every city and township election
in the West, but their victories in In
diana are especially significant. The
president who has r%epudiated his
pledges and promises is in turn repudi.
ated by the people of Indiana. his
neighbors and acquaintance. But the
people of the whole country are repu.
dating Harrison whenever an oppor-
tunity presents itself.

To NIKE 4 HOME our OY 1 HOUSEHOLD

There Is problbly no remedial agent
known to modern life which equals hot
water In its good effects upon the system.
It's very simplicity and accessibility tend 10
lesson its iinpressiycness 20 many people,
who, II Il could be bottled up and sold at a
dollar pint, would be diligent in its use.
1t is to DIR. Salisbury of New York that
the discovery Of hot water as a tonic, a
sedalive, general restorative of harmony
iu the system, is due, aud the famous
salisbury Cure" Is simply the proper use
of hot water and of beef as diet.
Lie all other things there is wrong
way and right way to take hot water. DIR.
Salisbury's method prcscribes four rints
each day, to be taken on awaking in the
morning, and again an hour before lunch
con, an hour before dinner, and at night
before retiring. With u.is a regimen Of
meat eating without other food, bat the
meat can be varied as roast beef, steaks
chops, and other varieties for which :hc
manual Of this cure gives full directions.
To those who suffer from insomonia THIS
method OF life gives immediate relief. The
hot water alone Is a great promoter Of
good sleep, but united with the entire OBJ
servance Of hygienic methods in proper
bathing, exercise and die, Is Of course more
efficacious tnan when this added care is not
given. Headache, dyspepsia and il!S and
disabilities in general yield to the diligent
use of hot water. A pint of water brought
to the boiling point, hot, not merely warm,
sipped slowly just before retiring, will al
most invariably and infalibiy assure a
nights sound and perfect sleep. There is
no sedative in the Torld that equal it. The
effect is immediate, and the after effects
beneficial. In these days, when an increas-
ing portion of people are running both
health and morals with the deadly drugs
prescribed by physicians for insomonia,
the gospel of the hot water cannot be TOO
empbatica:ly presented. If there is an
elixir of life in vitality, in nerricus power.
In that serenity and exhilaration and per-
iect balance Of harmony that good health.
Ia its true meaning, implies, 1t lies in the |
Salisbury Cure" the use OF hot water, r,and !
he regulation IF diet.

MABEL, OREGON, Nov. 3, 1890.
Editors Democraf!'
II has been good while since wrote
anything from this little neck-of-woods.
We are away out here in the back-woOds
where we seldom get any items worth
mentioning.
We were surprised and Mortified last
Wednesday evening, by the report that
Joe Smith had killed Ambrose OFT,
while hunting near the head OF Mill
creek. They had gone into the woods
with Reuben Smith and Ed, a little
brother Of Joe's. Sending the little boy
out with the dogs the three took their
places to watch for the game. 1t appears
that when they heard the dogs coming
OFT changed his position, going nearer to
where Joe was standing, who hearing
crashing in the brush and seeing the
bushes shake, mistook him for a deer
and fired, killing him almost instantly.
He spoke, saying, ''Joe you have shot
and killed me-" and diec in u few min
utes. Circuit court being in session, the
matter will be investigated this week.
This is the second man that has been
killed in Lane county within few
months, while hunting. Mr.. Walker, OF
the firm Of Staver & Walker, being shot
on the Mckenzie, few months ago.
Miss Maud NJ. Drury is teaching our
school at present.
Quite a number Of Mabelites were at

SALEM OREGON, Nov 3, 1880.
Editors Democyai
! see in nearly all the newspapers propo-
sition that the laws ofthe state hereafter 10 be
passed should be published in the newspapers
SO that the people may know what the laws
are. TIis, in my judgement. is move in the
right direction provided that it is made for the
sole purpose Of Preaching the people with the
information as 10 the new laws. The great
body Of the people are ignorant Of the laws al
ready in force, and will continue in this igno-
rance, unless steps are taken 10 place the laws
before them. Ve-y few Taxpayers in the
state are able 10 purchace the Codes. Now it
has been hinied that this is a move to secure
patronage for impecunious newspapers friend
ly to the "powers that be-" n such is the
case, then let the subject be dismissed at once.
The democratic party in Oregon once passed
''litigant law" evidently designed 10 promote
the financial interests OF needy democratic
newspapers, but it created such 4 scandal that
was soon repealed. 1.-THE laws are pub
lished in both republican and democratic
newspapers in order that democratic and re.
publican taxpayers alike may be benefited then
well and good, but let US have no scheme to
ere for party organs.

AN AGRICULTURAL HINT FROM GLAD
STONE.


A few years ago, Mr. Gladstone. speak
ing to the farmers in Scotch district where
agriculture was greatly depressed, asked
them why they did not try the production
OF jam for the city markets. lie pointed
out thai the small fruits from which this
luxury could be compounded would grow
well IN their soil and that for such goods
there was alwss a good market. The Tory
editors laughed at Gladstone's kitchen
economy, but the Scotch farmer took the
matter seriously and nave found their
profit Ia il. A large and productive indus
try has sprung from the old statesman's
suggestions. II Is along some such tines as
these that the farmers will most surely
draw 10 themselves a larger share Of the
surplus wealth of the country. That SUI
plus is abundant, but all sorts Of people with
keen wits and strenuous energies are COM
peting for It. Those who have 1t are ready
TO exchange It fer qualification Of various
sorts. The problem Is TO please them
Within the bounds of innocent and whole /.

LEBANON, Nov 8. 1890.
Editors DemOeiat:
There is dispute among a number Of far
meis here as 10 whether binding tw ne was put
on the free list or not, and as 10 whether there
was a reduction made in the duty on jute
sacks, by the Mckinley bill. Republicans
here say that binding twine was puf on the
fee list and that material reduction was
made in the duty on jute sacks for grain, while
democrats dispute both propositions. We
have all agreed TO leave it 10 you provided you
Sill refer 10 the law 10y section or page.
INQUIRER.
We are glad TO know that farmers are look
ing into the subject Of tariff, for they are
more affected by protective duties than any
other class Of citizens. We have before us
pamphlet entitled, 'Tarif Law Of 1890 to
gether with tlc Administrative Custom:
Bill Of the saue year, This was prepared by
the SECRETARY ofthe Treasury and is the law
as finally passed and approved. BY referring
10 Section 362 page 80 we find that the duty
on binding twine is placea at seyen.tenlhs OF a
cent per pound, and Section 365 same page
provides that bags for grain shall pay duty Of
cents per pound. This is slight reduction
on binding twine snd slight icnrease on jute
sacks.
