RABBITYILLE MAN WAS THERE
a, Bennett in Irrigon Irrigator.)

jest arrove from Portland where I
went to the Harmony meeting and
I'm fuller of Harmony nor billy
goat. 1t was CRATE meeting. 1t
was maid up Of kinds of people and
2 kinds Of folks. First they was big
croud of people what has offices. Then
they was another big lot who wants
offices and right smart sprinklin' of
fellers what has office but wants a
better one, and then there was me and
few other private folks and Mrs.
WoOdpekker, what diskivvered Roose-
welt, but we all wisht he'd seen her
first. Some OF the fellers went with a
brick in one pocket and a rock in
another and a nife up THAR sleave.
w. Twoos, who has a darned good
office but has a eye on Binger Her
mann's job, he trun a rock at the
mouth of the Columbia and the } of q.
brick at Cello then dru his nife on
Portland afore he got sot on. Mr..
Baker, who is lookin' hardest for a
big cargo Of Harmony, read beauti-
full speach tellin' Of us that Oregon is
the banner republican state (tremend-
jus yells) wich must be pleasin to the
democrats who has most of the best
offices. Rite in Portland l was told to
move on by a democrat policeman
hired by democrat mayor, and a
democrat deputy workin' for a demo-
crat sheriff made me stop spittin; and
il I'd got arrested I'd bin prosicutid
by a democrat PROSECUTOR befoar a
democrat Judge, and if I'd a landed in
Jail I'd a had to go to a democrat
gov'nor to git out O. hook. So I says
to Mr. Baker says l let's give the
democrats the Harmony and us take
the offices, but he said if we'd all git
plum full of Harmony we could git
down on our nees every mite and
thank God we lived in state where a
democrat is without hope. But says
s'posin we send Mr.. Heeney a few
big doses of Harmony, for if he keeps
on in his wicked ways there wont be
enuff Of us republicans out o Jail to
fill the offices. Jest then a feller wunk
at me and I follered him around the
corner when he drew a bottle on me.
Says he you'd better try about three
fingers Of this kind O. Harmony, like
the democrats use. Then I learned
what a good thing real Harmony is.
But I misdoubt that mebbe Baker has
let the prescriptions git mixed and is
dosin' us out O. the wrong bottle.

WANT NONE OF THEM.

The Republicans Of Oregon, in peace
conference assembled, expressed their
disapproval Of the mischieyous con-
stitutional amendments proposed by
w. S. U'Ren ct al in no uncertain
terms. The resolutions relating to
these amendments, passed by a unani-
nous vote, are as follows:
"Resolved, That the State of Oregon
should maintain its reputation for
conservatism and reliability; that
hasty and half baked laws not only
injure at home, but give the state an
unenviable reputation. and drive from
it the investor and the settler. That it
is the sense Of this assemblage that
the Republicans of Oregon should be
on their guard against fantastic and
peculiar proposals for legislation
under the initiative amendment to the
constitution, especially as various
schemes under the guise of remedial
legislation are likely to be promula-
gated in the interest of the minority
parties.
"Fir5t-Such proposal IS that for
ousting public officers by vote during
their terms of office. A public officer
rarely is elected without the opposition
Of considerable minority of the
voters, which can readily be increased
to majority in times of public excite
ment; and if the tenure of office is to
be made uncertain and the office is
likely to be vacated with temporary
changes Of public sentiment, the best
persons cannot be secured for public
Office, nor will officers dare to act with
courage and independence.
"Second-The proposal to submit to
the public, under the initiative method
scheme for giving members Of
minority parties representation in
public office, without being chosen by
a plurality of votes cast at public
elections, should not have the counte-
nance of Republicans. The principle
that majority rules has had trial in
this country since before the creation
of the Government of the United
States, and has proved to be just and
fair, and to work we'll in practice.
The attempt of those interested to force
themselves into office by use of the
initiative amendment to the constitG-
tion should be discouraged and voted
down "

Biliousness, dyspepsia, loss Of appetite,
disturbed sleep, nervousness. headache,
giddiness and drOwSineSS, wind and pain
or fullness of the stomach after meals,
cold chills and huShingS Of heat, short
ness of breath - these are the blank
cheques of physical bankruptcy.
The man who suffers from these dis
orders and neglects them will soon be in
the relentless grasp OF some fatal disease.
If he is naturally narrow cheSted and
shallow lunged, it will probably be con-
sumption; if his father or mother died OF
paralysis or some nervous trouble, it VIII
probably be nervous exhaustion or pros
tration, or even insanity; if there is q
taint in the family blood, it will be blood
or skin disease; If he lives in a new or
low, swampy country, it will be malaria;
If he lives a life of exposure, it may be
rheumatism. There is one safe course for
a man to follow who finds himself Tout OF
sorts and suffering from the symptoms
described. 1t is to resort to DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. This medi-
cine makes the appetite keen, cOrrects all
disorders of the digestion, renders asSimi-
lation perfect, invigorates the liver, puri-
fies and enriches the blood and builds
firm, healthy flesh and nerve tissue. 1t
cures almost all diseases that result from
Insufficient or improper nOurishment OF
the brain and nerves. Bronchial, throat,
and even lung affections, when not too
far advanced, readily yield to it.
