THE PEOPLES BATTLE HYMN.
BY JAMES G. CLARK.

There's sound of swelling waters, there's a
voice from out the blue,
Where the Master his arm is revealing
Lo! the glory of the morning lights the fore
head of the New,
And the towers of the Old Time are reeling
CHORUS.
Lift high the banner, break from the chain,
Wake from the thraldom of story;
Like the torrent of the river, the,oiver to the
main,
Forward to liberty and glory!
There is tramping in the cities where the peo-
pie march along,
And the trumpet of Justice is calling;
There's crashing of the helmet on the fore
head of the Wrong,
And the battlements of Babylon are falling.
He shall gather in the homeless, he shall set the
people free,
He shall walk hand-in- hand with the toiler
He shall render back to labor from the noun
tain to the sea,
The lands that are bound by the spoiler.
There is doubt within the temples where the
gods are bought and sold;
They are leaving the false for the true way;
There's cry of CONSERVATION where the idols
made of gold
Are melting in the glance of the New Day.
o! the Master of the morning, how we waited
for his light
In the old days of doubling and fearing!
How we watched among the shadows of the
long and weary night
For his feet upon the mountains appearing
Let the lightning tell the story to the seas re-
hottest lands;
Let the campfres of Freedom be flaming;
While the voices of the heavens join the chorus
of the land,
Which the children of men are proclaiming.

A Fine Attraction.

1t IS quite seldom that Corvallis is visited
by anything in the amusement line above
the ordinary. We are,f however, informed
that on Tuesday, Mayl9, company will
appear here that bears promise Of being
something quite exceptional in its particular
line. The new lyric star, Miss Rebecca Nc
Kenzie, and her associates, Miss Elise Fell
lows, the celebrated Boston vioiinist, and
Bertha O'Reilly, solo pishiste,, from the
New England Conservatory, have been
induced TO stop here. They come highly
recommended by the eastern and western
press, reaching the Pacific Coast over the
Canadian Pacific railroad. The manager of
the company positively guarantees the best
musical attraction that ever visited these
parts. May 4th they appeared in Vancou-
yer, B. c., and received the following COM
plimentary notice from the Daily Advertiser.
"A representative audience of tho musical
elite of the city listened with the closest
attention last night to the most eminently
superior programme of concert music that
has been given in Vancouver for very long
time. Miss Rebecca McKenzie's voice is
the richest, sweetest soprano that has ever
been heard on a Vancouver concert plat
form. Evory note was full and pure. Her
singing of the Ave Maria, 'by Rock Goun-
cd, was q model Of ~sefned Ypcalism, "ekc.

tion of the county candidates Of the differ
ent parties to the fact that they, and each Of
them, were assessed last Sunday at Rich
land Sunday school, % cents each, to aid us
in the purchase of an organ for our Sunday
school. 1t will be remem bered that our
schooihouse burned down last fall. We
have built good new one, yet We require
some necessary equipments, and we have
been trying to fill in as fast as possible. but
find ourselves short of necessary funds to
secure an organ. We have therefore. made
this levy, believing that you will respond al
once to this worthy cause and receive the
plaudits of all good citizens as well as secur-
ing friends and supporters from ye yeomanry
OF these parts. You can charge it up to your
cigar bill, or campaign fund.-. il YOU like.
Nor need you limit yourselves to the 25-cent
levy-a larger amount will read we'll at this
time, and you shall have due credit for all
yon do. If not convenient to hand to me,
place the amount, with your name and
address, in an envelope and leave at the
drug store Of Allen 3 Woodward, and
oblige, FANNIE PALMER.

! The fight between the O. O. 3 E. and the
o. X. s. N. for river business continues to
be the topic of conversation. Both compa-
nies are giving daily service between here
and Portland, though the o. G. s. 4. boats
appear to be doing the business and are
decidedly the favorites. And why should
they not be-? The o. r. & N. Co. have not
n dollars worth Of taxable property in Linn,
Benton, Polk, or Marion counties, outside
Of what little is represented by their docks.
They pay no taxes, nor do they even buy
any of their supplies in any of the up-river
towns, the wood for use of their boats being
purchased and loaded on board at Portland,
while on the other hand the o. G. & E. pays
heavy taxes, buys all its supplies, and wood
for boats, as we'll as its trains, from home
towns and the adjacent country. In fact,
every dollar they earn finds its way back to
the local merchants and surrounding coun-
try. Every dollar paid the o. r. & N. Co.
is taken to Portland and from there dis
bursdd in way that 1T never reaches US
again.
As a matter Of fact, instead Of being a
oenellI, INC ". ". " n sleaHsis are really
detriment to the valley country, because
the company has no local interests more
than to get all the money from us it can
and then carry it off to Portland. This may
seem an illiberal stand, but We: believe it to
be right for the reason that the O. G. s. E.
Is local institution and is our only protec-
tion, and that it may be the better able 10
pretect'us, the people should reciprocate by
giving the 0. G. & Il. their undivided patro-
mage so long as it furnishes equal OF better
service.

The populists have two orators to adj
| dress the people of Corvallis this week. /.
J. H. st. Lawrence, mayor of Pullman,
Wash, and known as the blind orator,
and Cyclone" Davis, the celebrated
Texas free silver advocate, will speak at
the courthouse Friday evening. The re :
publicans had arranged for a program at
the courthouse Thursday night, but as
Mr. ST. Lawrence was already billed
for that time, the building was given up
to them and the republican meeting will
be held Saturday evening
Campaign rumors are rife, as usual.
Some are amusing in fffeirinccnsistency.
For instance, the report is being indus
triously circulated i'll the country that
George Waggoner has promised to open
the saloons on Sunday, if elected. In
town the fact that as councilman he in
troduced resolution requiring the chief
of police to close the saloons ON SuFday,
is being used as an argument against his
election. Things seem to be getting
desperate with our friends, the enemy.
AS we were going to press last evening
the GAZETTE received the following self
explanatory telegram from Sen. John H.
Mitchell: ''River and harbor bill just
passed senate. Amount appropriated for
Yaquina $4,000 and contract for one
million retained.?' A hard fight was
made against the. Oregon items before
the conference committee and also i'll the
Senate and Senator Mitchell and, in fact,
the entire Oregon delegation are to be.
congratulated upon their splendid sue
cess.
Prof. E. R. Lake and Geo. A. Wagon
er left for the southern part of the coun-
ty yesterday to look after their political
fences. Both gentlemen are steadily
growing in popular favor, and their
election seems no longer to be a matter
of doubt. 1t is only question of ma
iorities. Mr.. Lake will be unable to visit
Monroe and Dusty on the regular can
vass, as he is scheduled to speak May AZ,
at Toledo. Tomorrow he goes to New
port where he speaks in the evening.
Saturday he is billed for an address at
Waldport, and will remain in Lincoln
county until the 22d, when he joins the
Benton county candidates at the Summit.
He will remain with them on the canvass
until the 27th upon which date he returns
to Lincoln county to be absent until the

GRANGER NEWS.

A good many farmers are having the
blues because they can't get their spring
crops in,
Every farmer has gold mine on his
farm, and he can wash gold dust when ever
it sets in 20 rain, by putting his machinery
in the dry and his stock under shelter.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Hector will
now,believe in sounHJmones, for, ,rhe had
been carrying grcenbacks in his pocket last
Sunday they would have. gotten a good
soaking.
Mr.. Anton Hilbert, one mile east of Gran
ger, will likely not vote the democratic
ticket this year, for he had to pay $40 tax on
his sO-acre farm in 1895, there being only
sixteen acres under cultivation at that time.
Mr.. John Reese, who lives near Albany,
still believes in populism, but he was rather
surprised when he was told the other dny
that they had no candidate for sheriff on
their ticket this year. Mr.. Reese was asked
two years ago how much he would take to
get off the ticket. mo money can get me
off" was the reply. Hurrah for John.
Messrs. VIM. Abraham, G. Plagrnan, J.
Sawstzke, II. Hector and A. Luther, from
Gisngef, attended the German church at
Albany last Sunday and got good ducking
coming home. Rev. Kern from Portland,
conducted the services. Mr.. Kern will
preach again on the 24th of this month on
Pentacost Sunday. Services will begin At
10 o'clock a. m. Everybody cordially
invited.

Lake the Man.

Mr.. e. r. Lake, who appears before the
people as q nominee on the republican ticket
for the important Office Of joint representa-
tive for Benton and Lincoln counties, ia a
gentleman Of sterling qualities, excellent
character and habits. and while he may be
accused OF the ''crime of being young
pnn,r yethe is one who has had much
xpsxience in life, and is gifted with an
inusuafauonnt of natural ability, tact and
Energy. Furthermore, his sympathies are
.:ways with the ''under dog" and we strug-
Cling farmers understand what that means.
Mr. Lake is greatly in favor of better sys-
lem Of road work and would legislate in
that direction. There is no other one thing
blong this line, perhaps, that the people in
general, and particularly We who live in
country places, desire so much as good
roads, and we are pleased with one who has
some advanced ideas of improving them
with as little outlay to the taxpayer as pos
bible. Again, I wish to say that Mr.. Lakes
hdaptability for the honorable position
banned could scarcely be improved upon,
and when he appears in our legislative halls
lin the capital city, every citizen will be able
Ito point with pride to him as being the repre-
sentative gentleman from Benton and Lin
|coln counties. A NEIGuBoR.

LEND ME FIVE sHILLINGs.

1t is the earnest desire of the Athletic
Association of the o. A. c. to send suf-
ficient number of athletes to the field
meet at Salem, June 9th, to enable them
to contest in all the events on the pro-
gram. This will be necessary in order to
carry off the intercollegiate cup. How
to raise funds to defray the exprnces of
a large team, has been troublesome
question for some time; for no money i
appropriated for, the encouragement oI
athletic sports at the college. u Not wish |
ing to ask aid by private subscription, II
was finally decided to give an entertain}
ment; one that would be a credit to tbs
association, and give those who attended
the performance the full worth of theiA 4
money. This entertainment will CO nsis4
of an introductory program of a musical
and athletic nature, to last about forty1
five minutes, to be followed by the one|
act farce-comedy, 'LeuI Me Five Shil
lings,', making an entertainment Of
about two hours. The hunor of thid
celebrated farce results from the inability
of gentleman to borrow the inconsiderj
able sum of five shillings-a dilemma
not wholly improbable. The best dramat |
ic skill has been exercised i'll contrivin&|
the plot and adjusting the incidents. Th{
play has long been favorite in the re
pertoire of Mr.. Joseph Jefferson, AM
wherever given. either by professionals
or amateurs, has proved very acceptable
The best available talent has been secur
ed to assist in the production of this ex
cellent after-piece. May 23rd is the dat
set for the entertainment.
