It is not either of the factions of the republican party that are revolting against the nomination of Mr. Bourne; but it is simply a rebellion against the methods of the successful candidate. It seems entirely probable that at least one-third of the dominant party will vote for the retention in the senate of Hon. John M. Gearin.

At any rate Gearin talk is getting stronger every day and it seems likely that he will be sent back to the senate on one of those popular waves of trust and admiration that caused the voters recently to forget the party lines in Missouri, Massachusetts and other states. It is not only the dislike the people for Mr. Bourne that makes Senator Gcarin's election seem highly probable; but the strong faith that the people have in the present incumbent will be equally as potent a factor in his election. In all the election talk, comment and gossip, there has not yet come to the ears of the public the first unfavorable comment on the private or official conduct of Senator Gearin. It is safe to say that Senator Gearin is in the lead over his competitor and his chances are growing brighter as the days go by.

It is expected that if the Senator's public duties will permit, he will come to Oregon before the close of tbe cam MISFITS. Smith died like a dog. Frank Baker says some one lied. More money wanted in San Fransisco. The Pacific Coast League is in a ragged condition.

The Willamette is said to be three inches too high for good bass fishing. The boys and girls of the college are playing tennis by schedule. America of course carried off the honors in the Olympian games. Thanks, Noriis Rowe will pass through. Almost a panic in Wall street.

Stocks take a tumble. Now the steel trust is declared to bo the greatest robber of all. General Greeley says that at least fifteen hundred were killed by the earthquake and fires. There'll be oratory in Marion county this campaign. B.

F. Ramp is running for state senator on the socialist ticket. The republican state central committee read Governor Chamberlain's address and then wrote a platform. Not much attention has been paid to the democratic vote in the primaries. It will get more attention in the June election.

Wonder if Frank Smith's mother wil ever know how her, boy ended his life. Perhaps she is fortunate in herself being dead. Men have it in their power to make records for good or evil, and ever young man picks his course. Frank Smith chose the evil course. He flashed before the public for a few days and was gone too early to ever have an op portunity of boasting of his deeds of murder.

There is nothing in being bold bad man, even if one doesn't get shot. The most unsatisfactory life there is is that of the man who seeks to terrorize his fellow man whatever his methods. Everv community has its boys and young men whose principal ambition seems to be to lord it over some one, generally smaller than them selves, and it is not difficult to figure out their end. They may not be killed behind a log, but their careers will be just about as much of a failure as the one who was. The best ambition any young man can have is to be of service to his fellow man, and the more he helps his fellow man the more will help himself.

should not be liaised. Will it be right for insurance companies to raise rates 25 per cent all over the United States, on account of the San Francisco losses, making the peo ple pay them instead of the insurance companies. The enormous surpluses of the" companies shows that most of them have plenty funds on hand to pay their losses, with a big chunk of surplus left. It is their business to stand the loss themselves, not that of the people who are already paying a high price for insurance. The people are willing to put their hands down in their pockets and help the people of San Francisco, but they are not willing to be called upon for a big extra insurance rateto help the insurance trust.

Is a slogan which is being heard all over the state. It is a move for the upbuilding of the manufacturing interests of the state so that they shall be enlarged and on a footing with Ithose of the eastern states, One-way to do this it for Oreffnnianfl to rrlve Orecon made things the preference in a prac- ticalway.

The administration of Governor Chamberlain has been too much in the interest of the people to make a change at this time, and he should be retained. He has saved the people of Oregon thousands of dollars through his judic-.

ous management of the affairs of the Btate. Ho that he has the backbone needed. His ability as an orator ana nis cnaracter as gentleman have added much to the of- lice. Jiu liua uecu bwwiii wuio oiuiu, 1 F. M.

Witts, Corvallis. Same Old Ben. Dallas Observer: Judge Ben Hayden, hale and hearty for one of his advanced years, was in Dallas a few days this week. The Judge has little use for the new primary law, and doesn't hesitate to express his opinion concerning it. He says nobody understands the law, and that Populist U'Ren didn't have any well-defined idea ot what he was doing when he framed it.

The Revcras of the Baptist church lat night met with Dollie Bending, spending a pleasant evening. The following officers were elected: Dollie Bending president, Allie Worrell vice president, Kittie Bryans secretary, Jessie Anderson treasurer. Committees were appointed. One mission of the club will be the support of a Hindu girl at Calcutta for three years. Mr.

and Mrs. George DeMoss have returned to Oregon from California. They were in Santa Rosa, when the earthqurke occurred. They had just moved from a brick to a private residence wVen the earthquake came. The brick was destroyed and several people in it killed.

He 13 a native of Oregon, educated in the University of Oregon, a broad minded young man with natural endowments which place him close to the people around him. His record is a clean one. He is a clear headed man who makes nnii ki; lions or tne day. rie speaks to a purpose when he talks. In the coming campaign he will stand out for what is the closest to the interests of the people and will always be found if elected distinctly working for those interests which will make for the progress of Oregon.

In national affairs he is decidedly in favor of rate legislation which shall give the small ff v. concerns in the transportation of their products. In the treatment of the Philippine Islands he looks upon them now that ti.ey have been acqu ired, as a part of our possessions, and believes that they should be treated as such and given the same free trade that the states enjoy in their interstate com- merce. He is in favor of laws which will place the burden of taxation more luu ut im on the Property of the poor man and along all lines of progress. He is a young man who will stand for something whether in or out of the halls of congress, Saturday Night Thoughts The California earthquake continues to be the leading topic in the world of events By this time, though, most people have gotten used to it, and can survey the result without excitment.

Now, the great theme is thenew and more beautiful city, so well built that earthquakes shall have little effect on its structures. The Democrat is free to express the opinion that Oregon is good enough for it. rn congressional matters the rate bill has reached that position where it can two concessional bodies. Week after week Hies by, and it looks as if nothing has been done.

The truth is tho whole business is full of buncombe, things done for one's constituency. But if a rate bill shall be passed with any merit t0 it people will be willing to overlook the molasses-like way of congress. The probability is that what becomes a law will be shorn of those qualities which would have been effective in the interest of the small manufacturers end producers of the country. Is He the Sumo. Editor Democrat: nntlpmnn tht r(1rttrd truth.

ful says that G. W. Wright said publi cally some time ago in this city that a tariff for revenue is a legal tax, anj that a protective tariff is illegal and unjust, and is paid by the consumer to enrich the pocket of the capitalist and manulacturer. Now, a good many republicans want to know if this is the same G. W.

Love one another doesn't go in Zion paign and give the citizens an account of his stewardship in a few public speeches in the centers of population. Of course the prospect for the re election of Governor Chamberlain are bright and are growing brighter. The most sanguine party man in tho republican party will admit this. And then there are other men on the democratic state ticket who have more than a fighting chance for election.

Frenzied Thoughts. Gen. Wood's Around the World Mileage bill has been explained about as satisfactorily as the killing of the Moro women and children. Cuba seems to be selling us all of her products, and buying most of her goods in Europe. Thus does reciprocity get twisted.

SPECIAL CORRKSPONDKNCE. Portland, May 2. -It is generally considered in this city that Jonathan Bourne, tho republican nominco for United States Senator, in one respect only, resembles tho groat Frenchman, Cmiutiiubriand. It will bo remembered that on one fateful occasion, Cliautau-briund exclaimed, with much dramatic fervor: "I have made history." Oregon peoplo know that Jonathan too has been making lots of history. Of course thcro is history and history.

Tho brand that Mr. Bourne manufac tured was that of the peculiar vintage that only men with a vast amount of nherited wealth ant! certain tendencies that were in this enso hardly inherited can dish out. Tho fact that this gentleman was nominated as a candidate fur tho Senate in the primary was one of tho few sad commentaries on any faults and frailties the new election law may have. In this particular instance it will probably be remedied at tho June election. That he was nominated at all is a-high testimonial on the wonder- ful efficiency of pi inter's ink.

For Jonathan certainly did lavish cool cash on the press in allopathic doses. Tho i .1... 1 nupers could nanny reject mu uusmms because it was legitimate; and besides it is only charitable to supposo that in some instances tho editors themselves some instances favor of tho Nicaragua route until Sen-. ator Hanna made his celebrated extinct volcano speech, illustrating with maps and charts, the other members follow- ing his lend like sheep. A majority of Americans think there was a big job in the selestion of routes and the payment ofabig8iimto tho French company, and this view will no doubt be strength- ened as tho years go by and millions nro waste! in futilo work.

Ex. i Tickets Always Strop; Vost of the county tickets in the state have now beenj.analysed by the partizan newspapers, and are of course very strong. Tickets always are very strong until after election. This year, though people are going to make some pretty close inquiries into the characters and records of the men running for office in the counties, districts and state. The Democrat believes that a splendid county ticket has been put in the field, but it is up to tho voters of tho county to pass judgment upon mon on it the samo as upon the men on r.ll the other tickets, and the democrats wil! bo glad to plnec the men on their ticket in the open, against those o'l the other tickets.
