coLLRez NOTES.

Pres. Bloss is visiting in Seattle this week.
Profs. Letcher and Craig are making us
short visit.
The board of regents will have m Getting
some time in January.

next Friday evening, Jan. 3rd.
Three hundred and sixty three students are
registered at the college already. New stu
dents will be registered next term.
A few improvements are being made in
the o. A. @. gymnasium. A striking bag
and chest weights are being put in.
Everything is very quiet about the college
during the holidays. No one seems to be
stirring, except our postman, Marion john
son.
Two of our students, Geo. Getty and
Woodson Patterson, have been ill at Cau-
thorn hall, but they were recovering at last
report.
Miss Elsie Long, class 'o6, recently
completed one of the best schools taught in
Linn county. She is now visiting her par
ents in this city.
Profs. Emmett and Fulton have returned
from their trip to California. Sad to relate,
they failed to effect an entrances into the
golden gate and were compelled to return.
Miss Nellie Hogus, class '95, o. A. c.. has
bean teaching several terms of school near
Albany; and it looks as though she will re-
| main in that school work as long as she
desires.i
Many kind words are spoken of tho sue
cess of Miss Hortense Greffoz as teacher of
| the Monroe school. Miss Greffoz is one of
the best educated ladiesin the county; and it
| is our prediction that she will always succeed
| wherever she may go.
Miss Lulu G. Thornton, class 's5, o. A. c.,
completed on last Friday one Of the most
successful schools in the county. The New
| ton school district has long been reputed for
good schools, and Miss Thornton has sus-
| tanned the reputation of a superior teacher.
Among the o. A. G. graduates abroad, is
Miss Lois Stuart who is teaching in Union
county. Miss Stuart is one of those ladies
who teach as long in one school As she desires.
Mr.. Austin T. Buxton, class '95. o. A. c.,
is pursuing the vocation of an agriculturist
near Forest Grove where no has one of the
largest and best equipped farms in Yamhill
county.
The South Bend school under the manage
ment of Miss Dorothea Nash is prospering
this winter with an unusual degree of success.
Miss Nash is highly cultured young lady;
| in addition to her regular college course of
studies, she has several accomplishments
such as vocal and instrumental music, paint
| ing, drawing, ETC., that add very materially
to her usefulness rs teacher. Miss Nash is
q very worthy young lady, and we predict
for her continued success as teacher.

DEM0CRACY'S DISL0YALTY.

The democrats in congress are
making as unfavorable an i'm
preston as minority as they
did when they had control The
revenues of the Wilson bill,
proving inadequate to the needs
of the government, President
Cleveland demanded that con-
gress come to his relief with some
Legislation that would provide
the necessary money. The re-
publicans in the lower house
framed and passed a bill to meet
the presidents approval, not a
protection bill, but a tariff for
revenue act, and one that, with
few exceptions, simply uniform
ly increased the duties of the
Wilson bill fifteen percent. The
democratic congressman perfect
ly understood that the revenues
were deficient. They knew that
the present bill was in line with
their own legislation, and yet, to
a man they voted against its
passage. Such actions tend to
instill in the public mind the
idea that democratic mismanage-
nent was not due to lncompe-
tency merely.
The bill as introduced and
passed was naturally distasteful
to the republicans. It was not
at all in accord with their tariff
ideas; but the financial condition
of the country demanded an i'm
mediate increase In the revenue,
SO the republicans disregarded
their own preferences and party
traditions, and passed a bill that
must meet with Cleveland's S
approval. The act was in prin-
ciple a democratic measure, and
the republican party in passing
it greatly Inundated itself for
the country's good.
The democratic party, through
its representatives in the lower
house, has placed itself on record
as refusing to come to the nations S
rescue, even at the call of dem
ocratic president and when all
that was demanded of it was the
voting for measure that accords
with its party teachings and party
legislation.

THE effort Corvallis is making
to have clean, honest and efec-
tive management of its affairs,
supported, as it evidently is, by
common sentiment throughout
the county, augurs well for future
good management of county and
city affairs. The time has past
when party endorsement OF per
sonal friendship can place disrep-
utable men in the best Offices in
the city or county. Let our
next convention take warning
and read we'll the handwriting
on the wall, "a good clean tick
ct is an absolute necessity for
success. "

DON'T BE SHEEP,

Republicans of Benton county,
attention Whose fault is it that
the sheriff, clerk, assessor and
recorder of this republican county
are democrats It is yours.
Why are you SO enthusiastic over
the prospects for a republican
president if you don't believe in
republican rule at home? You
may say that there is really no
politics in the local Offices. ,Di-
rectly, perhaps, there is not, but
indirectly there is a great deal of
politics concerned in the posses
sion of the paying offices of the
county. 1t is nanifestly discour-
aging to the party managers to
lose the principal local offices
year after year, no matter what
majorities the county rolls up for
the state and national tickets.
The possession, too, of these
offices, encourages the opposition.
They form the backbone of their
organization. They provide, to
a great extent, its sinews of war.
The officers are in a position to
control a number of votes for
their party through various
means.
Republicans may not consider
that there is politics in these Off
ces, but the democrats believe
the possession of them to be the
most effective kind of politics.
The democratic party has been
playing the republicans of Ben
ton county for the veriest ''suck-
ers, and have been quite success
full in their efforts.
There seems to have been in
the past sort of mutual under
standing between certain repub-
icans and certain democrats as
to what men on the two tickets
should be elected. The demo-
Gratis either were the shrewdest in
the conference or else failed to
carry out their part of the pro-
gram, for the paying Offices have
always gone to the Tiger. Dem
ocrats must have laughed in their
sleeves over the simplicity of
their republican brethren, when
they consider that the latter
accept uncornplaininglY a few
petty offices as a magnificent
gift from benevolent democracy,
and fail to realize that little
effort would have elected every
man on the republican ticket
without any combinations with
the enemy. 1t is not very dig
nihed role for the republicans to
play.
Of course the great body of
republicans are not mixed up
with any such maneuvering; but
the republican voter plays into
the hands of the schemer when,
from personal motive, he refuses
to vote for his party candidates.
This does not mean that repub-
1ican should vote for a candidate
who is clearly unfit for his Office,
simply because he is a republi-
can. The party, however, sell
dom nominates such a man.
It is the duty of the coming
republican convention of Benton
county to nominate good, clean
ticket that will commend itself
to the voters and taxpayers of
the county. It will be the duty
of every republican to accord
that ticket his hearty and active
support.

How to Improve the Government of
Third.cIass Cities.

The convention of representatives Of
third-class Pennsylvania cities which
will assemble today at Reading for the
purpose Of formulating suggestions for
the betterment of legislation governing
cities Of this class will be watched with
general interest. While its immediate
pupose is to consider methods of pro-
noting uniformity in legislation, the
area Of discussion will doubtless be
widened to include the whole subject Of
structural improvement in municipal
government, thus fertilizing the public
mind in behalf Of reforms which. al
though now distant, will yet eventually
come.
In this connection there are number
of changes which suggest themselves
as worthy to be made. In the first
place, the present classification of cities
needs to be amended. To require a city
Of 10000 inhabitants to organize the
same cumbersome machinery of govern.
ment required OF a city of 10000 popula-
ton is to intiict upon it gross inequity.
Cities below 10000 population should be
included in different class from cities
having between $4,000 and 100000, with
corresponding simplifcation of the
mechanism of its government. The
Reading convention cannot. of course,
remedy this defect of the present mu-
nicipai act, but it can help to arouse
sentiment In favor of an ultimate
change.
A second needed reform is in the or
ganization Of the municipal legislature.
Experience has conclusively proved, in
our opinion, that the double councils
idea is cumbersome, expensive and in
efficient. A single council, limited in
membership to one member for every
1000 qualified electors, and elected, two
thirds from districts and one-third at
large. would do oil the work now per-
formed by double councils, in one-half
the time and at onehalf the cost of the
present system: and also do 1t more
carefully, systematically and thorough
ly. These councilmen should be paid
good salaries, and should not be eligible
to election unless bona flde property
holders.
There should also be a readjustment
Of the powers, duties and responsible
ties Of the mayor. His magisterial func-
ton should be committed to police jus.

One Of the most amusing features of
the Burke-Herring row. which lights up

the recent defense of Collector Herring

Brundage. the son Of a well-known .Lu-
zerne Democratic politician. Is enjoying
his fourteenth year in the service of the
government as a deputy collector in the
Twelfth district of the internal revenue
department. He was appointed under
President Cleveland's first administration
and was the only Democrat not required
to walk the plank when Major Penman
was made collector. BY the way, Con-
gresham Scranton and Dlcky's father,
Attorney Asa Brundage, are warm
friends. Brundage dislikes any trouble

life lease, and has hantened to inform the

The Case in q Nutshell.

The point made by Senator Hale.
Senator Morrill,, the New York Evening
Post. the Philadelphia Record and most
of the stock spectators and timid busi-
ness men of the country. In regard to
the Cuban affair. is that whether 1t be
true or false that Cubans have been
misgoverned and maltreated by Spain,
1t Is no concern of ours. If we make 1t
our affair by mixing in the quarrel,
they argue that we may get hurt.
On precisely the same principle, If
full grown man, while walking along
the street, should see a young girl be-
set by a rufiian, he should give no heed
to her cries OF distress and make no ef-
fort to investigate, but should leave
her to her fate lest If he should inter-
vene in behalf of common decency, he
might get thump on the jaw.
Nations are not different from indi-
viduals in respect to the principles
which should govern their conduct
toward each other. The law as applied
to individuals does not recognize the
right of one man to maintain a nuis-
ance, or to make of his home pest
house. Why should the law of nations
safeguard Spain in perpetuating a tyr
amy over the long suffering but now
justly rebellious people of little Cuba?
