THOSE persons and newspapers who
have been hired to say that no other man
can take the place of Senator Dolph and
meet with successful legislation, have lit
tie manhood surrounding their corrupt
souls. That MIR. Dolph is an able man
we do not dispute, but he who would
depreciate his fellowman by saying that
all are inferior to the one, is not possessed
of the honesty and patriotism which con-
stitute the higher type of American citi-
zenship. The electors of Oregon do not
want Dolph returned, and should the
members of the legislature so far forget
their constituents in making such an
arbitrary choice, the people have right
to revolt against such mockery. Citizens
generally should petition their represen-
tatives to the legislature, so that they
may act intelligently in making the
selection.-Oregon Mist, (Rep)

CHAMPIONED BY MITCHELL.

Without doubt the most stirring and
logical address yet delivered in support
of the Nicaraguau canal, was made last
week by Senator Mitchell, of Oregon.
During the time he occupied the atten-
ton Of the senate, many new and irrefuta
which will have much weight in weak
ening the opposition to the measure. AT.
ter carefully reviewing each of the ebjec-
tions raised, and answering at length Mr..
Mitchell passed to the importance of the
canal to Oregon, on which point he said:
'Of all sections of the country which
are to be immensely benefited by the
canal, those bordering on, or tributary to
the Pacific ocean will be benefited most.
Oregon, California and 5.Washington,
while prolific in a great variety of agri-
and other products, are notable wheat
growing states. The Pacific coast has a
surplus of about 1900, 600 tons of wheat
and flour. The principal market of this
surplus is Liverpool. This necessitates
transportation by water around Cape
Horn, distance from San Francisco of
about Il, 900 miles. BY the canal this
water route to Liverpool will be shortened
6996 miles, nearly one-half This, it is
estimated, will reduce the transportation
charges from all Pacific ports at least s.
per ton, to say nothing of the time saved.
But infinitely greater will be the advan-
tage to the wool growers of the Pacific
coast, who find their principal market
for their surplus products in Atlantic
coast ports, notably New York, Philadel-
phia and Boston, AS the case now stands,
the distance between Portland, Or, and
New York, by water routes, is 5000
miles further than between Portland and
Liverpool, 1884 miles apart. The effect
this would inevitably have on the cost OF
transportation of wool, lumber and fruit
and other products of the far western
states will be seen at glance"

GREAT EXPECTATIONS.

The following is part of preamble oi
a petition circulated by Mr.. Joseph H. Will
son:
"We, the undersigned republicans of
Benton cotnty, Oregon, desire to call your
attention to the fact that the GAZETTE, the
only republican paper in this county, does
not express the sentiments or the prefer
ences of the republicans of this county, in
its antagonism to Senator Dolph.
Wo think Senator Dolph the best man in
Oregon to represent the state in the U. S.
senate and want to see him e-elected."
The intention was to present this docu-
ment. very numerously signed, to Benton
county members in the legislature. It was
very neatly gotten up, printed by type
writer on best linen paper and energetlcally
circulated by Mr.. Wilson for several days.
The GAZETTE is reliably informed by a
prominent republican who was asked to sign
it that only six signatures had been secured.
We know of at least three or four other
names Mr.. Wilson might have obtained.
We suggest that copy of the petition be
sent to Blodgett valley for circulation. It
is popularity supposed that the list is small
owing to the careful selection of s1gners.
In order to save postage in the transmits
sion of the petition, quality rather than
quantity was doubtless the object of Mr..
Wilson's endeavors. It is not a great task
to secure list of Mr.. Dolph's supporters in
Benton county. Their name is not legion.

HOW HAVE THE MIGHTY FALLEN

For years past the Oregonian has been
looked to not alone as the most reliable
source of information about current events,
but also as the standard bearer Of correct
and advanced ideas on educational, literary
and moral subjects. 1t has found welcome
in every home in the state, and has enjoyed,
unrivaled, its well-earned popularity. Bu
Of late change has come over it and many
, Of its warmest friends have been shocked at
| the tone of its editorials or have blushed at
its position on important subjects. Those
who carefully read its columns cannot fail
to notice this, and many are the comments
heard unfavorable to our cherished daily
paper. The most noticeable falling off is
found in the effort recently made by II to
| impair the usefulness Of, and weaken the
respect for, the State University and Agri-
cultural College. No person but hims self
could have made the people of Oregon
believe that Harvey Scott would have placed
himself in the attitude he has against either
of these institutions. No person but himself
could have made his friends believe that he
| would have resorted to such horrible logic to
sustain his position. Indeed, his attitude
| toward these institutions of learning is
scarcely more surprising than the argument
he uses to sustain it. The essence Of his
articles on this subject is that the state should
not aid these schools because only favored
few, living in the immediate vicinity, can
profit by them, while large majority live
too far away to walk to school and are una
Bile to find sustcnance outside the parental
roof In other words, these schools are OF
no value to the people of the state because
they are stationary-Jne at Eugene, the
other at Corvallis.
| Won't someone, living near the Oregoniar
Office, drop in and whisper to its editor thai
it has been found necessary to locate al
institutions of learning somewhere in ordel
to avoid loss Of time in searching for them
And please explain to him that free tuition
is great help to any boy or girl seeking ar
education even though the college should bt
located beyond the shadow of their home
Try and have the editor understand that tht
frontie1smen, like the buffalo, is passing
away, and that their progeny must become
domesticated or perish. Refer him to the
records, which show that young people from
all parts of the state are attending both these
schools; and, finally, inform him that, ne
matter what he may say against these justly
popular schools, he cannot seriously affec
their value to the state, but will only EN- balm
himSelfi in the memory of the most ignoran
| classes,
