The Mail would m;t:ost to Utc Tort land Journal that it in making too ! rcct and weraoasl a fight on'llarvey W, Scoft. Everybody in Oregon cusses Scott, wore or Iues, but etorybody in 0.'';on admires liliu (or hi ability. Ami every bady in Oregon, every one in a while, finds PiKtt on his side of tome proposition, nut then neatly for gives hitn for nil tranjjjrission!. Besides a porsonnl fight, no nutter how just, gcU; old and tiresome, nfter a while, and places tho person attacked in the po tion of a martyr, especially if 1 e coru plotely ignore his anailaut, as Scott "g .uorea the Journal. We charge lu Journal nothing for thie sujrgojtiou. IGNORING THE PEOPLE The Senatorial Cght still continues at , Salem with no prospect of immediate .victory for either candidate, ft seems .that Fultcn has developed hit full strength, and any material accessions to nis ranks will be hard to get. The outcome depends on bow sincere tho (Jeer men are in their expressed de termination to stay with their candidate vto the end. If they carry out their pro- pram, it certainly looks, to an outsider, ns though they must win.. Jf the dead- Icck should leeult in no election the .Geer men would have a sound defense, while the others would have no possible excuse that would go down with the people. If some other man than Geer can bo elected it may be possible in Eome way to obtain absolution at tho . hinds of the potipJe for ignoring their . expressed will. Eut if no senator be . elected it will bo impossible to explain satisfactorily why the Republican party deliberately turned down the man for whom the people had made known their t:ho!co in n way expressly provided for that purpose. i If the Maya law was passed in good faith why not comply with it in good faith? If it was passed as a blind and a farce, that fact could not be brought out any more plainly titan by following the present'eourse. Supposing Geer be not the best man for the place'; he comp'led' with the requirements of the law in good faith and the peoplo voted for him in good faith. If he be elected now, it VUl permanently establish the principle that would-bo eenatora muetgi before tho people direct, in tho way mapped vout; while if bo bo turned down it slra ply means that the law ia a dead letter and a lauding stock for the polititians. This may bft what tho politicians desire, ' but thoy should remember that there is a day of reckoning coming. .( . I'cuilnliio View of II.

The Railroad Warfare NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN LINES AFTER TERRITORY Northern Pacific Getting the Best of it and Cutting Into Southern Pacific Trade. A fight to the death is on Litwoen tho Northern railroad combine nr.d tho Southern lines in tho Ilarriman com- r 9 bination. On the part of tho former, tho Northern Pacific seems to bn the more active, and has lately made several moves upon tho great railroad ohess board that aro considerably worrying tho Ilarriman interests, it ia said. Judging from surface indications, tho Northern combine at tho pibscnt time occupies the boat epotB on tho board, It has placed ita men in Washington, Oregon and California, and has suc ceeded in holding Washington for itself, In other worde, through tho recent i nr chase of Pacific Ocean steamer lines, is haa entrance to California, and threateut to cut into tho orange trado, horotoforo oxcluElvely handled by tha Southern lines, hy Bhippinz the orangen from San FranoU'co to Seattle via steamer, and then to Eastern distributing points over the Grert Northern and its feeders.
