The aspect OF Canea has grc1tly
changed since ! last visited the town
some months ago. Tho streets present ~
most animated appearance, and the mot
lev crowd of Turks, native Mohamme-
dams. Jews, Benghazi Arabs, and negroes
has been swelled by the sailors, marines.
and soldiers OF the different European ma
tionalities, whose varied and picturesque
costumes add much TO the interest OF the
scene. Among these the Seaforth High
landers. the Italian Bersaglieri, and tho
tall. athletic Montenegrins clad In red
Jackets. blue knickerbookers. and whito
hose. are perhaps the most conspicuous.
Smart-looking shops have been opened by
tnterprising immigrants. an international
club has been established European COM
forts hitherto unknown In tho Island can
now be purchased. though at rather high
prices. well-appointed restaurants provide
appetizing vlands, and gaiiy dressed
ladies' appear in the streets. exciting the
wonder Of the Mohammedan population.

said OF the Christian insurgents, who are

YyNc WITH FIRE.

Is the senatorship for sale? Is
the securing of a seat i'll the ma
tional senate a matter of crimi-
nal buying and selling? Is no
torious corruption in the legisla-
ture of Oregon a joke, to be
laughed at and forgotten? Is pub
lie honor a myth and is patriot
ism only a legend? These ques-
tions confront the citizens of Or
egon today.
Men know in reason that cor
ruption alone maintains the cha
otic condition at Salem. It is ap-
parent to any reasoning mind that
that some wrongful scheme, in
imical to the interests of the peo-
pie of the United States, is be-
hind the desperate game being
played at the state capital. A for
tune is being spent there and the
ganesters are not taking such
risks without the prospect of COM
pensating returns.
The charge of corruption is not
mere ru1nor. The statement IS
made from known facts. The first
move in the game is to defeat John
H. Mitchell and that is the pres
ent contest. Now, gentlemen
elected to represent the people of
of Oregon, take your positions.
You will be judged by your acts
not by your reasons. Will you
aid the corruptionists, or will you
not? It's dangerous to play with
fire.

DUTY IS PLAIN.

There is some truth in the OBJ
lection that the joint assembly
is unusual, undignifed and in
formal. Senators and represent
atives have had some excuse for
hesitating before taking part in
its proceedings. They can hard
1y be blamed for preferring the
regular course, but it is definite
1y settled now that there will be
no other opportunity for settling
the senatorial question, and their
excuses are no longer valid.
1t is the extraordinary condi-
tions forced upon the Legislature
that makes necessary extraotdi-
nary action. 1t is a duty of the
Legislators to elect a senator.
They can only do this now
through the present joint assem-
bly,. Its organization, while un-
usual, is legal, and stern neces-
sity should sweep away small
misgivings. The legislators
present duty lies in the joint
assembly and no man should
wait upon another. To stay out
longer is to initiate and endorse
the course of those who refuse to
assist in the organization of the
house and who are responsible
for the present disgraceful con-
dition.

DIFFERENT NOW.

Senator Haseltine is quite a
little fussy. He attacks the Or
egonian because its legislative
reporter said he had solicited the
craftsmanship of the committee
on municipal corporations. This
statement he seems to think par
ticularly injurious, and therefor
he hotly denies it and wants te
exclude reporters from the seno
ate chamber. One thing we
have not heard that Senator
Haseltine has denied, namely,
that he appointed his daughter to
the clerkship of his committee
one of those positions through
which money is drawn i'll large
sums from the state treasury,
without real or necessary service
rendered for it. 1t is true that
Mr.. Haseltine has but followed a
custom of family favoritisrn at
the cost of the state; but it
would have looked we'll if so
conscientious a man as he is
had set an example against the
custom. .-Oregonian.

SHE STARTS--SHE MOVES.

Prosperity is not like Topsy.
Prosperity does not grow-it is
made.
Prosperity is product of the
brain-not of nature. 1t is
chiefly a matter of imagination,
OF comparisons.
Benton county is prosperous.
We have had disastrous busi-
ness failures. We have suffered
from that miracle in this valley,
poor crops, and we have felt the
blight of low prices. A county
debt has crept upon us. Per-
sonal debts are many and heavy.
We have numerous victims of an
over-worked boom. But we are
prosperous.
We are not undone in actuali- :
ties. We are rich in possibili-
ties. Benton county voted in
November for prosperity and she
is going to have it. In fact, she
has it.
The people of Benton county
intend to make their prosperity
evident. They are going to in
vite others to share it. They
are donning their working clothes
and when they get together and
begin to dig, they will shovel
out prosperity IN such big, gilt
tering chunks that our own
doubling complainers will be
convinced and intelligent, thrifty
citizens from less favored spots
will cast their lot with us.

THE election of a republican
senator at this time from this
state is of national importance.
A bill changing the tariff policy
of the country. will come before
the next congress, which will
convene Immediately following
McKinley's- inauguration. The
people of Oregon, regardless of
politics, are strongly in favor of
protection. The national senate
is close and the failure to elect
senator from this state may de-
feat the proposed bill. This
consideration alone should out.
weigh any question of formality.-

AXIOMS.

Were everything that his op-
ponents charge against Senator
Mitchell true and important, it
would not justify the disgrace
tul and dangerous tactics employ
ed to defeat him. There is no
sensible defense for those re
sponsible for the present deplora-
BILE state of affairs.
Senator Mitchell is certainly
not to blame for the legislative
1nuddle. He has urged organi-
zation constantly. He has a
right to be candidate, as has
any citizen of the state, and has
the right to use every honorable
means to secure his election.
Mr.. Mitchell's withdrawal
from the race would not be a So
luton of the difficulty. Bourne
has enough members behind him
to prevent organization upon the
lines demanded by some, and
the qualification of his ambition
requires that no senator be elect
ed. Besides, Mr.. Mitchell has
no right to withdraw at the be-
hest of the republican party's
enemies.
The present joint assembly,
under the existing state of the
two houis is not satisfactory.
It cannot be wholly satisfactory
to Senator Mitchell. 1t is ul-
usual, although the organization
does not seem to be illegal. But
what else can be done? Unusual
plans are necessary to meet I'm
usual conditions.
If Oregon is to-have two rep
resentatives i'll the national SEN
ate for the next two years, a SEN
ator must be elected in the pres
ent joint assembly.
It is not the duty of the peo-
pies representatives to quibble
over technica1ities in such an
important matter. 1t is not
their duty to crafty personal or
political prejudice. It is not
necessarily their duty to vote for
Senator Mitchell. But it is their
duty, as honest, broad minded
citizens, and as representatives of
their fellow citizens, to partici-
pate in the only organization by
which a senator can be elected,
and help select some good man
to work for Oregon's interests in
the national senate.

Mrs. Alice Vidito left last week
for Portland TO see her little
daughter, Myrtle, who is seriously
i'll with pneumonia. Later Mr..
Vidito. received telegram that
the little maid was better.

trip to Corvallis last week and re-
port the roads to be very bad.
Strange, but it must be true, as
they are mon of their word. but
we thought We had all the mud at

We are told that ANOTHER land
slide has stopped the passage. of
teams over the mountain to Cor.
Wallis. 1t seems that the elements
are determined that Alsea shall be
exiled. 1t is too bad for our road.
TO be taken so often, besides it is
very. discouraging for our mer-
chants, who must have goods some
way. -
Wonders never cease. The
people wondered and just kept
wondering why Tom Vidito made
such flying trip to Corvallis the
other day, but they wonder mo
longer. On Sunday, Jan. 81. at

many friends of the happy pair in
wishing them long and happy
journey through life.
1t will soon be school meeting
day again. Who will be the next
martyrsg We think school difec-
tors and school teachers are truly
martyrs, as they have to try to
please all, and are. always COM
planned of-not only in Alsea, but
nearly every place. We have had
excellent teachers in our schools
during the last year and we are
sure they have tried to do good
work. We have been informed
by some of the pupils of the diff
ferent schools that ssthe teachers
are all right, and if we do not
learn it is because we are too stu
pid or too lazy" So it is the
world over. The teacher may do
his best and if the pupil not
studious, he will not advance.
Our teachers are generally liked
this year.
