"REMEMBER THE MAINE.'

The awful tragedy III Havana
harbor involving the destruction
of the Maine and the death Of
more than two hundred of her
sailors, will be ever present in
the minds of those who fight for
the stars and stripes i'll the con-
fict with Spain. That treachcr-
Gus blow, delivered by Spanish
officers, aud hardly even noticed
by the Spanish government, was
enough to stir the blood OF the
most peaceful American and
make him long to punish the
assassius and the country respon-
sible for their actions. But the
president, with splendid discern
ment, has not made the Maine
horror the cause OF the war. He
has pat the nation or eveu
higher grounds, and i'll doing SO
he has trutllfully Interpreted the
situation.
The president would not be justi-
fed i'll saying directly or by inn
plication that the destruction of
the Maine is the real cause of
the war, The real cause is
Spain's continued inhuman treat
1nent of the Cuban subjects.
The Maine explosion hastened
the conflict, as did the DeLolre
incident, but were the Maine un-
injured and all its men alive to-
day, the American people would
still move forward to the expul-
sion of the Spaniafds as a gov
erning power, from the western
hemisphere.
This is not a war for revenge.
We are not Staying the Span;ards
because Spaniards slew our sail
ors, nor is it this republics mo-
tive to revenge the thousands of
Cubans slain by the sword or by
AunSeI. we uShl IOI To-Day ana
for tomorrow. Columbia has
girded on her sword not to make
Spain miserable, but to make
Cuba free and happy.
TLes-1are. the high considera-
tions that will live in history as
influencing the United States to
declare war against Spain, and
to the courage and wisdom of
Mckinley is this largely due.
But it was the death OF the
Maine that stirred America to
speedy action, and the memory
of the naval lads sent to eternity
by cowardly Spaniards will fire
their living comrades on land and
sea to heroic deeds.

KIECAID AND THE COLLEGE.

Loyalty to the republican party
does not include the necessity OF
nisrepresenting or abusing can
didates on the opposing ticket.
Nor does such Interpretations
and abuse make for the party's
success.
1t should be a matter of self
congratulation as citizens Of Ore
gon to our union friends that the
republicans of Oregon have noin-
mated for governor of the state
a man of such splendid charac-
ter as T. T. Geer. And it is
equally pleasant for a republican
to testify to the personal force,
ability and integrity of Will R.
King, the union candidate. The
politics of MI King is legitimate
and sufficient ground for oppos-
ing his candidacy.
AS regards the secretary of
state, the farmers Of Oregon and
the people Of Benton county re-
gardless of party, have a reason-
able and serious objection to H.
R. Kincaid, the union candida
te. AS secretary of state. he is
ex-offcio regent Of the Oregon
Agricultural college, and the
responsibility for the institutions
good management rests as much
upon him as upon any other
member OF the board. Yet in
his term Of four years he has at
tended but two board meetings
and those for the sole purpose,
according to himself. Of paying
political obligations.
The amount Mr.. Kincaid re-
ceives each year as secretary
of state, in salary and fees, is
said to be over $40, 900, and it is
not unreasonable to expect that
an officer receiving such a hand
some remuneration for his ser-
vices would do his whole duty.
Nor is it unreasonable to ask for
his retirement when he fails to
do his duty.
Mr.. Kincaid has no claims on
any party for support. 1t was
announced for him a few, months
ago in the Salem Journal, a
union organ, that he would ac-
cept the nomination from no
party but the republican. Find
ing that the republicans meant to
repudiatc him, he planned to
capture the union nomination,
and by a show of imaginary
strength, secured it. What par
ty duty could be urged upon any
man as reason for his voting
for Mr.. Kincaid?
Mr.. Dunbar is a practical un-
pretentious business man, who
will attend to his full duty and
who will feel all interest in and
look out for the welfare of all
the states institutions. Benton
county will give him large ma
jority, because Benton county is
deeply concerned in the progress
and usefulness of the Oregon
Agricultural college.

PLAIN Talk.

'George ". Mcbride, the lit
tie mousing man who smuggled
himself into the United States
senate, undertook afterward a
plan which included the return
of J. H. Mitchell to the senate,
and then reelection Of himself.
We think he will not succeed in
either undertaking."
Thus spake the Oregonian last
Monday. The Oregonian, of
course, has no interest in men.
but is concerned with principles
only, The Oregonian certainly
is 'ca1nped we'll up toward the
headwaters of harmony's clear
stream"
That glorious Journalistic ex-
poncnt of republican ideas and
republican concord, has also been
praising the president. It said
recently: "The course of the
administration has been such as
to tllwart the highninded and
deliberate determination of the
American people that Cuba shall
be free. This he has done in
precisely the way a bad lawyer
bungles his pleadings and leaves
his client without standing in
court OH the day Of trial" And
with even more emphatic ex-
pressions has the good and great
daily of Oregon upheld the presi-
dent III the hours ll.at tested his
patience, patriotism, statesman
ship and endurance.

please the Oreeonian, Senator
Mcbride must be retired. That

A FORTUNE In SIGHT.
A Former Corvallisite the Pres
ident of a Promising Idaho
Mining Company.

Nearly all old residents of
Benton county remember A. @.
Sweet or "Gu=o Sweet as he is
better known. The family lived
here in early days, and Gus was
raised in this vicinity and among
his former schoolmatcs arc VIM.
Knots, Mrs. E. Woodward and
many others. He studied law
with Judge Chenoweth, and was
admitted to practice, going to Idaho
soon after.
Those who have paid any at
tcntion TO mining discoveries in
the Northwest. have heard OF The
Gold Bug, in the Elk City mining
district, Idaho. Mr. Sweet him
self discovered this mine. and his
sample ores he carries, proves
that the newspaper accounts of
the richness OF his find have not
been eXaggeration5.
This mine and four other fine
claims are now owned by the Mas
todon Mining Il Milling Company
of Idaho. Mr.. Sweet is president.
A Ii. Afford, present spcaker-of
the Idaho house Of representatives.,
vice president, A. II. Sweet,
prominent business man, secre,
'ary, and J. w. Poe. city clerk of
Lewiston, treasurer. The com
pany has expended thousands of
dollars in investigating and de-
veloping their mines and has i'm.
mense quantities of rich ore ready
to be "milled."
Judge Johh Burnett has inter
tcrested himself in this company
and Mr.. Sweet came up from
Portland to see him. Bruce Bur
nett is now in Portland studying
assaying under J. H Fisk. and will
accompany Mr.. Sweet when he
returns to Lewiston. Bruce will
go direct to the mines.
The stockholders do not wish
to sell any of their claims and will
sell only stock enough to erect a
fine stamp mill and pay present
operatives expenses. After the
mill Is erected it will grind out
gold TO pay expenses and profits.
| The capitalization is $2,0OO,000--
two million shares, non assessable
at 81 each.
Tie laws of Idaho are very
strict regarding mining corpora
tions and the legislature has
taken every known precautlon to
prevent fraudulent companies
from swindllng money stock
buyers. The Mastaden company
has more than fulfilled all the law
requirements and is .officered by
responsible and reputable citizens
Of Idaho
The prospects for Mr.. Sweet be
coming "A millionaire are very
good. His mitiing property has
the advantage of possessing an
enormous ledge so ieet wide, OF
rich ore. well situated. and the
company owns valuable water
rights. He does not expect to
make fortune in day. but is
certain that under good manage
mcnt such promising property will
pay heavy dividends.
Mr. Sweet will be in Corvallis
for few days and no doubt will
be kept busy showing the gold
rock and imparting information
to those interested in mines and
mining investments.

COL. O. H. PAYNE THE PROBABLE OWNhh'
AN ORDER GIVEN TO THE BATH IRON WORKS
FOR A LARGE STEAM YACHT.

AN ORDER GIVEN TO THE BATH IRON WoHhs
FOR LARGE STEAM YACHT.
The Bath Iron Works. OF Bath Me-. mas recelVeu
an order 10 produce steam yacht Oh very i"ieo
dimensions. 1t has been announced oy "ene''
Thomas w. Hyde, OF Bath. that this Vessel win D'
cons,dorobIv larger than the Eleanor. which was
built for William A. Slater. OF New-Lohuon severe"
years ago at the Bath Iron Works. Since General
HYDE made this announcement there fas been iluc"
speculation in the clubs as to who had given the
order. A number OF wealthy men were mentioned
hut II was clear that John Jacob Astor and george
7 Gould were not TO be reckoned, they already
nossesslne boats OF different kinds. The guess
work among the yachtsmen finally settled on Col
onei oliver H. Payne 8 being the intended owner.
At the New-York Yacht Club last night no one
could say anything very definite about the he"
boat although It was known that Colonel Payne
had spoken OF an intention 10 build large yacHl
something like the Eleanor. At his home IN fllth-
ave. nothing could be learned.
From other sources however. n sufficient amoun,
OF Information was CLEANED 10 show beyond reason
able doubt that Colonel Payne Is the coming owner.
He is now spending his New Years down on Long
Island and has personally confirmed the story,
but he has talked the matter over with friends. IL
may be now regarded as practically settled that
Colonel Payne will next year be the owner or the
finest yacht that America has ever turned out II
Is said that the boat Will be about forty rect
longer than the Eleanor, carrying three masts'
square-rigged on the fore and MAN, and fore-and-
af-rigged on the nzzen The Eleanor Is S 5Sz zee leet
The new boat may therefore be expected to possess
an overall length that is well on toward 800 feet.
Colonel Oliver II. Payne was elected member OF
the New York Yacht Club before he went away last
year in the Eleanor. and 1t was the white-starred
cross on the blue ground that the Eleanor carried TO
Kie and the Baltic.
