THE CONVICTION OF LOTAN.

James Lotan, much to his surprise and
the surprise of his friends, has been con-
victed by the federal jury in Judge
Belhnger's court, of conspiring to
defraud the government The Oregonian
takes his conviction very much to heart.
MIR. Scott says he opposed Lotan's noni
nation as collector, editorially and per-
sonally, but declares that he believes the
excollector to be man of the highest
business probity, and that he conducted
the affairs of his office faithfully and
honestly. Why MIR. Scott should have
opposed the appointment of such fit
and pure man, is past understanding.
The Oregonian makes great ado over
the fact that Lotan was convicted princi-
pally upon Blum's testimony, and it reads
the jury regular curtain lecture. Peo-
pie living at this distance from Oregon's
metropolis, too far away to be influenced
by personal contact with the virtue and
honor of Mr.. Lotan, fail to perceive why
Blum should be called so devilish black,
while Mr.. Lotan is endowed with all pos
sible goodness. 1t is true Blum confessed
his misdeeds, while the ex-political boss,
tremblingly maintains his innocence.
But up here, where the sea breezes daily
blow the cobwebs from our brains, Blum
is regarded with more respect than his
more silent and less remorseful associates
ia crime. AT least he is not so thoroughly
despised. There is probably no man in
Corvallis who would desire personal
acquaintanceship with Blum, but at the
same time, there is hardly man in the
city, but who believes that every word of
Blum's testimony is true. While some
express surprise that the jury should con-
vict on SO little evidence, no one says he
believes that the jury wronged an inno-
cent man.
There Is no question but that the Gus
tom house under Lotan's administration
harbored and protected despisable gang
of boodlers, and the Oregonian cuts a
very poor figure in making their cause its
own. The GAZETTE does not mean to
hint the Oregonian's position is due to
legal tender persuation, but how so much
thievery could go on for so long undis-
covered by wide awake and influential
newspaper, is somewhat incomprehensi-
BILE.

WE HONOR OUR DEAD.

s On May goth, 1865 that beautiful and
now historic order, designating that day
for the purpose of strewing with flowers
the graves of our nations dead, was issued
by that greatest of all volunteer soldiers,
John A. Logan. And now each year on
memorial day, in every cemetery, church
yard and Gods acre throughout our
country, wherever rise those little mounds
that mark hero's resting place, they
meet to s'bedeck the soldier graves with
flowers and bedew them with tears. :"
What glorious opportunity to testify to
the God of battles and all the powers of
earth that we have not forgotten as a
people the memory Of those who made
their breasts barricade between our
country and Its foes. They are our 'in1-
mortals," and what more fitting way to
render homage, than to perform this
beautiful memorial service over the pas
sionless mounds that cover them.
Brave, gallant, noble-hearted Logan
loved the Boys in Blue, and he was wont
to say of the Inauguration of this GUS
tom: SIT was the proudest act of my
1ife' Today the six hundred and twenty
two thousand pensioners bless his mem
ory; three hundred and fifty thousand
veterans in the six thousands posts of the
Grand Army of the Republic cherish
and love the name of their dead COM
mander, and two hundred and thirty
thousand widows and orphans breathe a
prayer for the peace of his soul
Our people boast that our principal
reliance is upon citizen soldiery for the
defense of the Republic. Such grand
lesson in gratitude and fraternity as we
teach the thousands of school children
throughout the land today, must bear a
rich harvest of patriotism and devotion
to the flag; for volunteer army, called
from the ordinary avocations of life,
retains the hopes, fears and sentiments of
the people at large, from which it is
taken. And if it should ever again
become necessary to fill gap in the
ranks of freedom, such beautiful exam
pies will inspire the hearts of coming
generations with patriotic ardor, and
encourage them to emulate the exemple
of Our Boys In Blue. The heritage of
good deeds will create armies in the dread
time of war; it will build empires and
conquor the foes of freedom.

THE 1NcoME TAX DECISION.
CORVALLIS. MAY 28.

CORVALLIS, May 2s, 1895.
ED. GAZErTE:-When the first opin-
ions were delivered on the income tax
law by the supreme court of the United
States, it was plainly to be seen by plain
men that the court was hunting for
pretext to decide against the law. For
instance, they held that an income from
rents was not taxable because it was the
income of land and tax on land was
direct tax and had to be apportioned
among the states according to their pop
ulation; according to the same theory
grain can never become personal prop
erty because it is the direct proceeds of
the land and must always remain real
estate. This view of the question was
taken in the interest of the wealthy real
estate owners in New York and other
cities where front foot is worth more
than whole farm in Benton county.
But what can be said in favor of such an
illogical, unfair, inequitab1e and unjust
construction of an act of congress-? In
the language of the dissenting opinion
OF Justice Jackson: "In. the imposition
OF taxes the burdens should be imposed
on those having the most ability to bear
them. This decision works out directly
opposite result in relieving the citizens
having the greater ability while the bur
dens Of taxation are made to fall most
heavily and oppressively upon those
having the least ability In other
words this decision is in favor of the
rich and against everybody else. Justice
Brewer, dissenting, says: Respect for
the constitution will not be impaired by
narrow and technical construction
which shall limit the necessary powers of
congress. The decision involves nothing
less than THE SURRENDER OF THE TAX

THE Oregonian takes great JUNCTION un-
to its soul in that none of ''the thrifty
were elected as delegates to the national
convention of republican clubs. 1t gives
a little song and dance, and then predicts
the political annihilation of every anti
Do1phite. It sneeringly remarks that
the immortal thirty does not seem to be
in it. . A casual observer, however,
would imagine, on viewing the conven-
ton, that the thirty were in it good and
hard Nearly every republican member
of the legislature, who voted against
Do1ph was elected as delegate to the
state convention The only man that
seemed to have been personally sat upon
by the convention, was Joseph Nestor
Dolpf, who made himself very conspic-
nous from the beginning, butwho finally
discovered that he was very small pota-
toes not many in a hill, tie hills good
way apart, and dern small patch.

A Terrible visitant.

Pain is always terrible visitant and often
domicles itself with one for life. This in
Fiction is preventable, in cases of rheuma-
tism, by a timely resort to Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which checks the encroach-
ments of this obstinate and dangerous mall
ady at the outset. The term Dangerous"
is used advisedly, for rheumatism is always
liable to attack the vital organs and termi-
nate life. No testimony is more conclusive
and concurrent than that of physicians who
testify to the excellent effect of the Bitters in
this disease. Persons incur a wetting in
rainy or snowy weather, and who are ex-
posed to draughts. should use the Bitters as a
preventive Of ill effects. Malaria. dys-
pepsia, liver and kidney trouble, nervous
ness and debility are also among the all
ments to which this popular medicine is
adapted. For the infrmities, soreness and
stiffness of the aged it is highly beneficial

PUBLIC SCHOOL comMENcRmRNr.

I
girls who received diplomas at the grad
uating exercises of the Corvallis public
schools last Friday evening. The exer-
cises were had in the opera house, and
every available seat in the large building
was filled with relatives of the graduates
and patrons and friends of the school.
No pains had been spared in the decora-
tions. The class motto, ''Tl1us ends the
first lesson, % was written above the plat
form upon which were seated the gradu-
ates, teachers, school board, the speaker
of the evening, DIR. G. M. Irwin, and
President Bloss. The audience was seat
ed by accommodating ushers and the
confusion noticed in the past was entire
ly avoided Friends of the class came
well provided with flowers to be present
ed to those who took part in the program
Horace Scott was salutatorian and Nash
Douglas Turney was valedictorian. Both
were delivered with good effect and
reflected credit, not only upon them
selves but also upon their teachers. The
@Adoo AiotOAy was ASda ~ 44AoS ASoICA
Avery, who depicted in an humorous
vein many of the happy and interesting
"reminiscences of the eight years of school
life which the class were just completing.
Miss Cora Young and Miss frankie eau
thorn each delivered recitations in clear
voice and with splendid taste Miss
Leona Smith contributed much toward
the entertainment by the skil1ful and
altogether pleasing manner in which she
rendered ''The Shepherds Evening
Song" on her violin. Miss Mamie CaI-
thorn, of the class of go, displayed rare
musical taste and skill in her rendition
of very difficult piano solo. A male
quartette consisting of John Fulton, J.
Fred Yates, II. L. @Ho1gate and B. w.
Johnson, sang two numbers and were
heartily encored. W. E. Yates, before
presenting members of the class with
diplomas, took occasion to speak Of the
progress made by the school during the
past year and paid the teachers glowing
compliment for their zeal and energy and
the splendid work which they had accom-
plished. A vocal solo by Miss Mabel
Johnson was feature of the entertain
ment deserving of especial mention.
Her voice is exceedingly clear and strong
and for one of her years to sing with 50
much confidence is indeed remarkable
Appreciation of her efforts was shown by
hearty encore.
The address to the class by Dr. Irwin
was mastery effort. It contained many
words of Wisdom and sound advice, and
was attentively listened to by all. One
of the leading thoughts was that attain
ments are reached by perseverance and
were measured by the obstacles over
come. The graduates were told to Judge
of men by what they had accomplished
Trials of the eight years of school life
were the stepping stones of the future
Before the class were years of possible
attainment. Much time was required in
getting ready for the battle of life; but
that was mans doom-one third of his
life was required in getting ready. The
whole address was full of lofty, patriotic
sentiments, and several times during it's
delivery the speaker was interrupted by
hearty bursts of applause.

WOMEN GIVEN A CHANCE
Methodist Conference in Iowa Decides that

PROHIBITION AS AN ISSUE CROWDED OUT

Church Work Exceedingly
Heavy.

OTTUMWA, Ia, Sept. 14-(Special Tele-
gram)-The ministerial session of the Iowa
conference did not develop the interest an
ticipated. There was such a crush of routine
business that the temperance question was
not reached. The question Of admitting
women to the general conference did not
provoke any discussion. The vote on the
proposition Of the Baltimore conference,
amending the second restrictive rule so that
1t will read "and said delegates may be men
or women" carried by a vote Of seventy
eight to fifteen.
That the conference is decidedly In favor
OF admitting women was again demonstrated
by an overwhelming vote refusing to recon-
slider the Hamilton amendment, that all
lay delegates must be men. Reports from
three of the districts show that on the vote Of
the church membership there was a total of
1,523 against 2S5. Rev. l. w. Teter of
Ottumwa was selected as fourth delegate
to the general conference and Rev. ]. c. w.
Coke OF Grinnell and Rev. G. w. Wilson Of
Ottumwa were selected as alternates.
Tomorrow will be spent in religious serv-
ices, every church in the city being sup
piled by members of the conference. There
has been such a demand to hear Bishop
Foster that the morning services of the
conference will be held in the opera house.
