LIGHT EXCUSES.

The people of Oregon have been
curious to know what Gov. Lord
would present, in his message, as ex-
cuses for calling the special session.
Their curiosity has been satisfied,
but their gullibility was not properly
sized up by the governor.
His chief reason for calling the
twenty-day session is to stop ex-
penses and to elect United States
senator. There are other reasons
presented, but they are too fimsy to
receive any consideration at all.
If Gov. Lord is honest in either of
the important excuses he offers for
his action, ii there is Il particle of
good sense in calling a legislature to-
gather little more than ninety days
before the regular session, this action
should have been taken long ago.
The governors message is enough
argument to convince any person of
that.
Gov. Lord should have told the
truth of the matter, and should have
stated positively that the session was
called to serve Joe Simon and to
elect Hon. H. W. Corbett. This is
unquestlonably the facts. Joe Simon
really called the session and is en-
tirely responsible for it. He led the
reYolt two years ago and created the
necessity which Gov. Lord states to
be his reason for holding a special
session. Gov. Lord talks ROT ROT!
ROT! He knows that he is serVile
tool.
The people can congratulate them
selves, however, that the chances for
the success of the Simon-Corbett
scheme have been reduced to q min
imums. 1t is more than likely that
good, non-partisan Republican will
be chosen, one who has steered clear
of our party rows. There are plenty
of good men who would grace the
senatorial toga. Then, there is no
use of electing a man who Is by his
age rendered totally unfit for the SEN
ate. The CHRONICLE believes that
the legislature has accepted this view
of the situation. In fact, the condi-
tions at Salem point to fair and gen.
erous solution of the difficulty, which
will result in the election of a man
like Hon. NJ. G. George, The CHRoN-
ICLE's candidate.

Mr.. MitcheH's Albany letter sheds
new light on the situation as it ap-
peared at Salem nearly two years
ago. At least, majority of the peo-
pie will gain information by reading
the letter which appears in full in
yesterdays Oregonian. 1t dlsposes
of one subject that the Oregonian
has been harping upon-that he is not
a candidate for the United States
senate. The Oregonian has repeatedly
asserted that Mr.. Mitchell was a can,
didate and It's advice has been
pointed. 1t seemed to fear that Mr..
Mitchell would quietly rest his case
till certain period IN the contest,
and then, hobgobblln like, pouDce
down on and capture poor, innocent
Joe Simon and Graham Glass.

P. E. Butler, of pack-trsin No. 8,
writing from Sandiago, De Cuba, on
July 23d, says: "We all had diarrhoea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it waa a case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
piled with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep at work and keep our health in
fact, I sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. My COM
rad and myself had the good fortune to
lay in a supply of this medicine for oul
pack-train before we left Tampa, and 1
know in four cases it absolutely saved
life."

The Oregonian says In an editorial
yesterday, referring to the much
talked-of candidacy of Mr.. Mitchell
for the United States senate, that
''NIr. Mitchell, ex-senator, tells the

a good Philosophical spirit" Why

The supporters of the candidacy of Fl.
W. Corbett are employing the bull-doz-
ing game of claiming the certainty of his
election, in order to make the supposed
ly timid mem bers think they must "get
into the band wagon or get run over by
it. There is no sort of chance for Mr..
Corbett's election, if those members,
who believe it would ne an injustice and
an outrage to their constituents and to
their own regulations, will only vote
their honest sentiments. Let no one be
scared or ull-dozed.-Salem Statesman.

1t is expected that the Oregon legis-
lature. which convened yesterday in spe-
cial session, will elect H. w. Corbett,
Portland banker, to the states vacant
seat in the United States senate. The
Spokesman Review has no approval for
that spirit which would shut the door of
public preferment against any honest
class of American citizenship. The cir
cumstance that Mr.. Corbett is ban er,
and man of great wealth, is of itself no
objection to his admission to the senate
of the United States, provided he were
the possessor of qualities of statesman-
ship which ought to be required of every
member of that distinguished body. No
toriously Mr.. Corbett is lacking in these
qualities. In his case 1t is conepicuously
his money which makes the political
mare go. If he were shorn of his wealth,
he would not be a senatorial possibility.
Mr.. Corbett's election would immedi-
ately level Oregon to the plane of those
states which put their able men in politi-
cal retirement in order to advance the
ambition of mere money-grubber.-

Ex-senator Corbett's election is not
certain by any means. Both branches
of the legislature were organized under
a compromise. Mr.. Corbett's partisans
