Hon. Wallace McCamant Discussed the Issues of the Campaign at tke Court Honse Wednesday Evening;. It is doubtfnl if the voters of Benton county hear another ad dress during this campaign as able as that delivered by Hon. Wallace McGamant at the court house last Wednesday even ing. Mr. McCamant arrived on the noon train from Portland, and accompanied by Hon. J. D, Daly and Chairman I. n. irvine, of the Benton County Republi can Club, left by private convey ance for Philomatn, wnere ne delivered a stirring address be fore a considerable gathering of citizens of that city and the sur rounding country. In the evening the court room in this citv was filled with an appreciative and attentive audi ence to hear Mr. McCamant dis cuss the principles enunciated in the platform adopted by the re publican party at Philadelphia. After a sone by tne jeinpino mmrtet. whidh elicited a hearty encore. Senator Daly introduced the speaker of the evening. Mr. McCamant called the attention of his audience to the prcwhecies of Mr. Bryan regarding the dan ger of the country trom imper ialism" and "militarism" in the event of the election of Mr. Mc- Kinley. He said that Mr. Bry an had made some propnecies four years ago. If these had proven true, we should place confidence in the prophecies of Mr. Brvan today: if they had proven false, we had a right to doubt him now. Mr. Bryan said in 1896, that if the gold standard were established wages would be lowered, the number of mortgages increased, business failures would multiply, money would become dearer and disaster and panic would prevail. This every man in America to day knew was false. Mr. Bry an's predictions had tailed in every particular. The sneaker auoted irom tne platforms ot the two parties those portions touching on the Philip pines. The republican party, said he, believe in bearing the burdens of expansion and letting the people of this country share the blessings of such a policy. The Bryan party believes in bearing all the burdens of ex pansion without deriving any benefit therefrom. He said that the democratic party contained many good and patriotic men, and they were oouno to get around all right after awhile. The party was like a man rid iHg backwardslin a railroad train. It never saw any ot tne gooa thiues until they were past. The democratic party always did the right thing at the wrong time. The republican party always did the right thing at the right time. To show to what a loolisn ex treme the Bryanites were stretch ing the principle ot "consent ot the governed," the speaker said he had a lively son. some four years of age, who delighted to watch his father shave. He watched eagerly for an opportu nity to seize the razor and cut and slash to his heart's content. This his father had not permit ted htm to do? Had the father done right? The boy bad never given his consent to be governed, and probably would deny sucn consent if asked. If the democratic idna of the consent of the governed was cor- rect, the boy's rights nao oeen trampled upon. He should have been permitted to use the razor according to the dictates of his consaien.ee. Fortunately, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson and others oftha framers ot the constitu tion had left writines showine their interpretation of this clause in that document, and their ideas did not coincide witn tne views now being advanoed by Mr. Bryan and his followers. Turning to the money ques tion, the speaker said that no man need delude himself with the fiooe that the gold standard was safe if Mr. Bryan should be elected. The revolution in pub lic sentirnent that would be necessary to insure Mr. Bryan's success would fill congress with democrats at the cominer election. If Mr. Bryan is successful in No vember, six months must elapse be- fore his party could torce tree sil ver upon the country, in tne meantime every creditor in the land would demand the gold tnat was owed to mm. Jivery man with money in the bank would demand his gold. Money would be boarded, tor no one would make an investment where, un der the oolicv of free silver, the value of that investment would be cut in two. and there would equal the hard times of 1893. In conclusion the speaker told the story of Mark Twain's visit to the tomb of Sir Walter Scott An officious guide who was pos sessed of an itching palm had been accustomed to receiving a tip from those to whom he re lated the details touching the tomb and its occupant. He told of the heavy wooden casket which contained the leaden coffin of the departed poet. This casket being contained in an iron case weighing two tons. The guide looked up expectantly, but Mark toyed idly witb the cap he held in his hand, and his face wore a pensive look. The guide proceeded, 'This in turn is con tained in a vault of stone and the whole is surmounted with a mar ble block weighing nine tons." He looked at Mark again, fully expecting to see his hand reaching for his pocket, but Mark re mained motionless for a minute and then said: "Well, I guess you've got him. If he gets away wire me at my expense." "And," said Mr. McCammant, "we have the Philippines. If they get away, wire me at my expense." A Lncky Strike. There May be a Snlt. Wednesday, just after noon, while engaged in taking up the alley way near the Hulburt property Hank Bier picked up three dimes in succession. Geo. Reed, who happened to be stand ing near, suggested that they dig deeper. Then and there they formed a miners' partnership and began energetic operations. They scratched like dogs after woodchucks and dldn'.t quit scratching until they had exca vated $8.75, all in nickles and dimes. They showed plainly that thev had been hidden for years. The deposit was made just under the edge of tha walk at one corner, and the supposi tion is that the coins were not buried, as none of them were more than six inches in the earth, but that time had assist ed in covering some of them to this extent. The dimes were fairly brieht, but the nickles were badly tarnished. Most of the coins were in a heap and were cemented together solidly with dirt until they resembled a clod, and they had to be broken apart. The latest date any of the pieces bore was 1888, so it may be concluded that they had been buried between ten and twelve years. Many are the conjectures as to how the money came to be there, and it is generally conceded that some oartv had stolen it and hidden it there. Possibly there were two of them and if either of them ever returned for the money, a hasty "feel" under the walk may not have revealed it and the party may have concluded that the "other fellow" got away with it and for his own safety kept quiet. But all of this is 'the merest conjecture, and the true history of the attair in all likelihood will always remain a mystery. Hank and George divided even, and both aeree tnat tms is an era of prosperity. When you can get money out ot tne earth already coined it beats anything yet realized at Nome. It may be well to advise against too general a removal of cross-walks throaghout the city. A Correction. There is a possibility of Sher iff Burnett being involved in a lawsuit, but up to yesterday forenoon he had not been in- formed officially of any proceed ings against him. Nor had any papers relating to the matter been filed with Clerk Watters. ' Should auv suit be brought against Sheriff Burnett it will be for the replevin of forty sacks of exain. or the value thereof, and John Stalbusch is expected to be the plaintitt. From wnat can De learned of the. matter it appears that Mr. Stalbusch held a mort- eaee on certain wheat raised by Walter Cline, which he claims was a bona fide mortgage. A. Fifcher, having a claim against Mr. Cline, had the sheriff attach the wheat, and the papers were served by S. L. Henderson, act ing deputy for Sheriff Burnett. Should the matter be pusneo, Sheriff Burnett is amply pro tected, as he exacted an indem nity bond from the plaintiff for whom the wheat was attached before he proceeded in his offi cial capacity in the matter. Our contemporary stated in its last isiue that the suit had been com menced against Sheriff Burnett; such is not the case. It further stated that Coroner Wilkins, as elisor, served the papers on the --- -i : r - M, sheriff. This in turn was incor rect, as no papers had been served, and if they had been Coroner Wilkins is empowered to serve papers on the sheriff and na farther act is necessary. An elisor is a party appointed by the county judge, or court, to act in a matter of this nature in case there is no coroner, or when through any unforeseen circum stances he is incapacitated as coroner. Additional Local John Bier is putting in a fine concrete sidewalk in front of his residence property. This Is the kind of improvement to make and Mr. Bier is setting a pretty pace for of bis neighbors. It may be well to add in this connection that tWn am many nlaces in Corvallis where people walking in company must either walk single-file or use the utmost caution to both step on the same plank at the same instant, for fear oi one end nymg up ana cracking the other fellow's "shins." From the report of Albert Tozier,. secretary of the Oregon Press Asso ciation, the following is gleaned: There are in this state 16 dailies, 1T3 weeklies, fiye semi-weeklieB, 44 monthlies, two 8emi-monthlieB, one quarterly, a total of 244 publica tions. I class these papers accord ing to the field they represent, as tollows: xvepuDiioan, t ew cratic, 24; people's, 14; indepen dent, 34; religious, lb; poultry, z; mining, 6: miscellaneous, 14; btock and agricultural, 6; fraternal 9; youth's. 2: college, 5; lumber, 1; medical, 1; labor, 2; commercial, 1; prohibition, 1; total, From inadvertence the word "elk" was .permitted to creep into our Item on game laws in our last issue, placing them on the same footing witn deer as regards the time when they may he killed. At the special ses sion of the legislature in 1808, the following: act was passed tor the protection of elk in this T " state: 'It shall be unlawful, except as hereinafter provided, for any person within the state of Ore gon to take, kill, injure, destroy or have in his possession any elk. between the 'list day of January, 1899, and the 1st day of December, 1910." Xne pro vision alluded to in this section is in effeot, that any municipal ity or person may keep any num ber of elk as an attraction or adornment of any private park or grounds. To tlie Gentlemen.
