m Wht ga gistadatt. ASTOKIA. OREGON: TUESDAY .JANUARY 23.1887 It is a little early for our hon orable legislators to begin putting up any scheme relative to future congressional or senatorial elec tions. " Besides, there may bo dif ficulty - in del vering the goods contracted for. The inter-state commerce bill has passed tie senate. It is a bill ?hich-practifcally nobody wanted, but which-martv voted for; which nobodyj svas satisfied, with, but whicH tne&rly everybody intended to accept; a bill as to the meaning of whioh nobody agreed, but which the majority said ought to pass. - The neWly patented Marshall telephone ' is:said to be all that is claimed for it. Its construction is novel, no- magnet or diaphragm being 'used, but depending for its acoustic interpretation of clcotrio pulsations upon the alternate co hering'an'd separation of sheets of ordinary tin foil and paper ar ranged" as a condenser. Its coBt of manufacture is only a few cents. ,. - The -Republican party has rea son to.be proud of its leader in the legislature the "Honorable" Jos. Simon. No honost man in or out of the legislature can be blamed for refusing to acquiesce in the contemptible cowardice that ac cepts such party dominance. "Where treachery is rewarded and protest disregarded, the par ty whip is uselessly cracked over the shoulders of any but cowards and political time-servers. Last Sunday's Oregonian ed itorially asserts that Dr. McGlynn, tha no'v famous New York Ro man Catholic priest, "ardently sup ported Blaine," in 1884. Dr. McGIyun says he supported Cleve land' in that campaign, and made speeohes in favor of that candidate. Henry George says that Dr. Mc GIyun supported Cleveland. It is of little consequence, but the weight of testimony seems to deny the assertion of our esteemed Port land contemporary. '' ' The recent disastrous explosion at San Francisco of a schooner bound for Astoria and loaded with giant powder, serves to direct at - tention to the present manner of loading explosives on board ves sels at that port and their occa sional arrival at this port and Portland. The greatest care is necessary in the handling and transit of all kinds .of explosives and that a disastrous explosion has not before resulted may bo as cribed more to good luck than necessary forethought. - Effort will be made in the present legislature to get three ap propriations to build wagon roads across the Cascade mountains from the Willamette valley into eastern Oregon. One road contemplated will extend 135 miles from Salem to Prineville. The proposed roads would begin in Jackson, Douglas and Marion counties. By all means build the roads. It is a good idea. Clatsop county has one-half of a representative and one third of a senator. "Ye pay considerable share of the state expenses without proportional rep resentation and have as good a right in equity to ask for a much needed road to Tillamook as our eastern and "Willamette valley brethren, but till we have the rep resentation that we are entitled to, a legislative enactment and a deer track are all that connect us with our neighbors to the south. Northwestern Oregon must build its own roads. True, there is $382, OOOin the state treasury, but it is needed to build roads in eastern Oregon and for other necessary state purposes. It seems, says the Portland Democrat, as if the election of United States senators directly by the people was now upon us. There is an atmosphere of easy acceptance of the idea everywhere. That two-thirds of the legislatures of all the states will recommend it to congress, is very likely. But will two-thirds of the U. S. senate concnr in submitting such amend ment to the legislatures? "Will the millionaire boss club surrender their machinery to the people? There's the rub. It requires two thirds of each bouse of congress to propose amendments. The only other means of amendment is by the legislatures of two-thirds of the states applyiug to congress to call a national convention for pro posing amendments which amend ments must then be ratified by the legislatures or by constitutional conventions of three-fourths of the states. It may require a great popular revolution to unseat the millionaire hosses, but the rumb ling of the popular dissatisfaction over their purchase of that branch of congress can plainly be heard. The Northern Pacific Express Co. The Wells, Fargo Express company is much enraged over the treatment it is receiving from the Pacific and Northern Pacifio Express companies. Since Wells-Fargo was put off the. Oregon Navigation in Oregon, it lias forwarded most of its Portland busi ness as freight. A few days ago the company began receiving business for points on the Oregon Bailway & Navigation line and sent it to Port land overland where it was to be transferred to thePaoifio or Northern Paoifio. When the business arrived at Portland neither of these two com panies would receive it unless the rate between San Francisco and Portland was paid. This action killed the last hope "Wells-Forgo had of doing business on the Oregon Nav igation line S. F. Post. 17. . The Latest and Greatest Discovery.
