wANTED-A STREET COMMITS.

The Young Mems Republican Club is
understood to be working to have a
young man appointed street commits

They argue, we have no objection to
any man for that office who is a good
Republican, but we want progress.
They say why cannot we have a
street commissioner who will push for

IL is certain that there has been a
divided responsibility for the past year
in the matter Of the streets of Salem.
Street Commissioner Tarpley says he

do.
Chairman Gesner, Of the street com

. DISGRACE TO THE GOVERN.
MENT

When there has been as much fraud
carried on in government and state
lands, 1t is a shame and a disgrace that
the department should drag two men
before the grand jury like Senator
Mitchell and Congressman Hermann.
Senator Mitchell is one of the oldest
men in the senate in point of years and
length Of service. He is chairman of
the committee TO build the inter-oceanic
canal, and ranks high in influence and
position.
Congressman Hermann was commits
sioner of the general land office for six
years, and handled about twenty-seven
millions Of public money, and never
YVES accused of taking a penny directly
or indirectly.
AS congressman going on fifteen
years, he has never been accused, even
by the most raneorous political enc
mics, of taking a penny from any man,
woman or child, directly or indirectly.
1t is a shame and a disgrace, and an
insult to the people of this state to
single out their two most trusted pub
lie servants, and arraign them before
q federal grand jury on the diaphon-
GUS charge of conspiracy to defraud the
government.
The people of Oregon will uphold
Senator Mitchell in his defiance of the
public prosecutor and all his political
enemies, TO do their worst, and starting
back to Washington, his post of duty.
Mr.. Heney is doubtless doing his duty
as he sees it, and trying to strike terror
into the hearts Of all who have prac,
ticed any fraud or deceit on the govern
ment in securing public lands.
He Is a young man trying to make a
reputation-a national reputation at a
time when the Indictment furore is run
ming high in the whole country. But
in seeking to humiliate aud brand with
infamy men who have spent their lives
in the service of the people of the West.
He is seeking to blacken stars in the
sky, when he should be engaged in
shutting candles.

What TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Or. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It ~corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, OF bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity Of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of SwamP.Root
is soon realized. IT stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug

Grand iuries and weather bureaus
are pretty uncertain things to tie to.
New Year resolutions are good to
make. Evenif you find that you break
over. it is better to make the trial and
fail than not to try at all. Don't
make them with the mental reservation
that youm give them up in a pinch,
for if you do youm have no difficulty
in arranging the said pinch. Make
them in good faith and honesty and
you'll discover the heroism to keep
them inviolate.

4 DISASTROUS FIRE
A CoaflssrsiiOa Destroys -Four BuildiHsS
in The Negro SettIemeaf.

Nearly the entire business portion
of the negro settlement on East
Main street was wiped out Of exist
ence this morning by fire which
occurred about 3 O'Clock. The total
loss on the property destroyed will
amount to about s. 900. Five build
ings, including the two-story halls
of the Odd Fellows and United
Brothers of Friendship, were en-
tirely consumed together with nearly
all their contents. One of the busi-
ness houses belonged to Osce Good
win and was valued at about 5000
Part of this building was occupied
by Willis Sweat, who conducted a
cold drink business and pool hall.
His loss is estimated at about S75.
The other part of the Goodwin build
ing was occupied by Mr. n. d.
Grafton with meat market. Mr..
Grafton's loss on tools and meat is
estimated at $50. II. Bruce owned
the other two business houses which
were occupied by different parties
who carried small stocks OF gro
ceries and cold drinks. The loss on
stock in these buildings could not
be learned. Bruce's buildings were
valued at $500. The two halls de-
stroyed were valued at s., 900 each.
The first floor of the Odd Fellows
hall was used by viii Robinson for
a barber shop, and Walter Clark
conducted restaurant on the first
floor of the Z. b. +. building. The
amount of loss sustained by these
parties could not be learned. None
of the property destroyed was in
sured.
The fire originated in the Goodwin
building and was discovered a few
minutes before O'Clock. An alarm
was turned in and the fire depart
ment responded promptly, but the
fire had gained such Roadway ii was
impossible to check the flames until
all of the above buildings were
burned to the ground.

CONDITION OF COTTON


The Light doesn't want to be
classed as an enthusiast on the cot
ton crop, for it is not. The writer
has seen some crops that are calcu-
lated to inspire anything but enthu-
iasm. bnt those crops are not the
prevailing conditions.
Last Saturday visit was made to
the farm of Alderman j. NJ. Patter-
son on the Waxahachie and Auburn
road. Mr. Patterson owns 207 acres
out there, most of which is in cot
ton. Part of it is under the cultiva-
ton Of Mr. c. c. Flynn, one of the
best farmers in the county. The
balance Mr.. Patterson has looked
after himself Mr. Flynn's crop is
simply fine. The weed is loaded
with fruit, most of which is already
near maturity. Mr.. Patterson s
crop is even better than Mr. Flynn s.
One piece of four acres of Rowden
cotton will make over bale to the
acre. This is the estimate Of every
farmer who has looked at it. An
other piece of six acres on new
ground and planted to Oklahoma
seed is equally good, and if the sea-
son is propitious will make even
more than the Rowden for the res-
son that the weed is larger and is
still fruiting heavily. 1t is not
every time that stubble cotton will
do any good, but Mr.. Patterson has
field of 1t that is a revelation to
cotton growers. A number of the
farms surrounding Mr.. Patterson's
were visited and not crop seen but
what gives every prospect of matur-
ing at least a half bale per acre.
Out east of town conditions appear
almost as good. Continued dry
weather until September first will,
in the opinion Of expert cotton men,
give those farms not infested with
insects bumper cotton crop. While
this is the condition surrounding
Waxahachie, with but few excep-
lions, ii is not the condition of the
county as a whole. We have al
ready printed reports from the Ennis
country Of ravages by the worm and
weevu. Mr., J p. Fleming, of How
ard, who was in this office Saturday
says he has lone field that will lot
make anything, and that just below
himis a strip several miles wide that
will not pay for the picking unless 1t
puts on and natures the fruit be-
tween now and frost.
A gentleman brought into this
office Saturday afternoon large
stalk on which there were only Two
oolls. He stated that he pulled IL
from field two miles east Of Pal
mer, and that he could point out "A
thousand acres in that immediate
section az bare "a the stalk
