IN OKK-
A review of the lcgisliitlvo contest
tlmt led up to thn present sltuntlou
in Oiegon railroad leglslutiou is of
Interest just at present, Represent
ative Qeer of Marion county wrote
it letter shortly after his election dis
cussing importunt matters that the
people would require action upon ut
the hands of the assembly. Rail,
road legislation would be demanded
Ho declared- himself fuvonible to
tweeuactmeuis: A bill making it
the duty of the railroad commission
to fix just und rensonublo freight
rates; also to give the commission
power to enforce Its orders aud de
cisions. No other cuulldate for the
speakcrhip hud anything to propose
on this subject aud Tiik Jouhnai,
called attention to the fact that it
was to tho truo Interests of the peo
ple, and of all thoso who believed in
retaining the commission aud mull
ing It useful to tho people, to elect
Mr. Geer speaker upon this Issue,
and it wus done. So farjis we re
member, tho Portlaud press did not
discuss tho subject at all. Tho al
leged reform picas was silent on this
point and discussed unattainable
matters aud theories In tho distant
far-oil The country press sustalued
the issuoas The Jouhnaii presented
it, where It referred to the matter at
all. Mr. Geer abided by his public
letter" after his election, and the ilrst
bill of auy importance introduced
was oue to carry out tho pledges on
whichhe wus elected.
The battle in the legislature was
theu beguu. Tho house passed the
bill by an enormous majority, after
giving tho railroad men u hearing,
in which they declared that they
were opposed to all and any legisla
tion. In the senate tho corporation
Influence had been broken with the
dethronement of IJoss Simon. With
his majority "gone galore" the cor
poration crowd could not accomplish
its purposes. The enemies of any
kind of a commission ua usual
joined hands with tho railroad lobby
to defeat tho bill giving the commis
sion more strength aud greater prac
tical value to tho people. The Port
land corporation press mistepresent
ed the bill and maligned tho able
men in the seuuto who fought down
all amendments. Tho llnul issue
was made up of surrendering the
state to the Jay Gould Pacific rail
way pool, or asserting tho power of
tho people. Tho life of tho itepub
llean purty iu Oregon was in tho
hands of tho senate majority, aud
tho party Interest prevailed und the
Geer bill passed. Tho battle then
was to keep for tho people tho bene
fits of the experience gained by the
old members of tho commission,
On all these questions Tiik Jouhnai.
fought on tho side of right and
sound public policy and won. It
feels proud of the result. Messrs.
Clow and Colvig were retained on
tho commission. They have hap
pily carried tho now third member
of the commission with them in in
augurating a vigorous policy of en
forcing the new law in a liberal
spirit of justice to the producer.
Tho commission is a harmonious
body iu doing what It can under
the law to protect the public ugulust
corporation robbery and corpoiuto
negligence. Tho commission has
made Its first report on tho freight
schedule picseutcd by the Southern
Pacific, und ordered u materlul re
duction to take effect Sept. 1st.
This reduction ordered, If not de
feated in tho courts, will mean tho
retention of hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually in tho hands of
the producers. It is the first mile
stone of progress towurd ubsolute
public control of tho common car
riers In Oregon. Tho step lias been
deliberately taken and will bo us
firmly muiutaiued.

iii.aini:'h condition.
Undoubtedly tho political fates of
Mr. Hanlsou and Mr. Bluiuo havo
become loo closely Identified to bo
pleusant for either. Uncomfortubly
close, suflocatlng are tho multitu
dinous predictions relailug to tlielr
possible rivalries for tho White
House in 1802. In all the calcula
tions Blaine's health plays an Im
portant part. He has been diag
nosed hy tho physioluus, dissected
by tho press und declared dying hy
the Deinocrrls so often that It has
become monotonous. Tho latest
performance In this lino was tho
subjection of Mr. Blaine's urine to
cheiitlc.il auulyslsaud securing the
opinion of New York medical x
perts upon (ho same. Nearly all
agreed that ho was In a slightly
worse I bun dying condition from
Bright's disease of tho kidneys, and
that the diurnal futo of the patient
WOH beyond question. Tho New
York Medical Jteconl of Aug. 8tln
AP"il" it H hy reviewing the entire
""iiiwuue in uiboumjoi mo "eminent
matter of fact, wo aro Informed on
good authority that Mr. Blaine lias
not got albuminuria or J right's
disease." And there you are, gen
tlemen. Take your choice.
It must bo conceded however, that
tho assertions of tho Medical Itccord
are entitled to some weight It Is
neither n political nor a partisan
authority und would be as likely to
glvo an unprejudiced opinion ns
any publication under the sun. It
could not well risk, unless it had
Inside information to back It, mak
ing the positive assertion that it
does.

Tho Idea of a fruit palaco at the

Wheat went to 80 cents ut Sulem
Saturday. Is tho national Alliance
circular advising n million farmers
to hold their wheat, or ttte Itusslau
ukaso forbidding exports of grain,
the cause?
The Oregoulan advises tho South
em Pacific to go iuto the courts and
test the freight rates as fixed by the
Oregon commission. This is not
good advice. If the railroad will
tako disinterested ndvjce they will
accept the presout rates. Tho com
mission will bo sustained by the
people of this state.
It will bean Important victory for
tho people of tho state If tho com
mission's rates can bo made to
stand; uot so much becauso of the
reduction mado as to determine the
fact aud establish the principle that
the people, through their legally
constituted agents and servants,
have power to reasonably check and
control railroad corporations. Here
tofore tho railroads havo been all
powerful iu matters of legislation;
it will bo encouraging and note
worthy to learn that tho peoplo rule.
It will show too, tiiut tho commis
sion is not altogether a worthless
body, existing only lor show and
salary; but that it can earn Its salary
und do a little service to tho public
Portland Telegram.

noticed this during tho cloudy

No Fusion in Kansas.
Chicago Inter Ocean: In tho last
gubernatorial election In Kansas tho
Republicans cast 116,025 votes, the
Democrats 100, 072 and the Farmers'
Alliance 71,357. Comparing this
vole with tho vote for president In
1888 it was apparent that tho greater
part of tho Farmers' Alliance vote
came from tho Republican party.
In 18S8 Harrison received In Kan
sas 182,001 votes; Cleveland, 102,7-10;
Streeler, 37,788; FIsk(proliibltionIst',
8,770, Harrison's plurality was 80,
150. Humphrey's plurality In 1800
wus 8,003, Willi these figures in
mind tho Democrats for several
months encouraged tho ideu of a
fusion between tho Democratic party
and tho Furmora Alliance party.
Many leaders Iu both theso parties
encouraged tho scheme, hut there
was this dlflerence, the AIIIiihco
leaders Insisted that tho Democruts
should glvo up their party organiza
tion; tlie Democratic leaders outlin
ed that if their party convention
made the proper concessions tho Al

Washington, Aug. 17.- Tho Im
portunt information has been re
ceived by the bureau of American
republics that a short cut across tho
continent of South America has
recently been discovered by the cel
ebrated explorer, Carlos Fry. The
route as described by him iu a letter
to tho prefect of tho department of
Junln, lu Peru, lies from Ghana
lmmayoto a good port on the Plchis,
ono of tho navigablo tributaries of
tho Upper Amazon, and he declares
it will be possible by this route to
reduce tho Journey from Lima to
tho eastern river ports from thirty
forty-flvo days. With u few score
laborers ho estimates that tho road
can bo completed iu six months, at
a cost of less than $4000, The com
pletion of this road would work a
revolution In tho trade and Industry
of tho far Interior of tho republic of
Peru, which, although it comprises
Eomo of tho richest regions In the
world is now compurltlvely value
less owing to tho lack of practlcablo
means of transport.
