It n all rich, when il i? made, but it u made (or fity thousand people, and it is not a fit one (or live hundred thousand. We have outgrown it, worn it out. I'n der preeeut conditions it simply oper ates to prevent the people doing any thing that will be for tho interest of the whole state. Indeed the affairs of the state cannot be managed without vio lating the provisions of the constitution. The supreme court is compelled to wink wisely at some things that are done be cause the things are necessary in spite of the inhibitions of the obsolete docu ment we call the constitution. The capital of the state ought to be at Portland, where it is convenient to all parts of the state; the state buildings, while most of them are properly located at the capital, should not be forced there when the iutereeta of the state de mand some other arrangement. This is particularly true of the insane asy lum and of the penitentiary. The one should be located, or its branches should be located, where the climate is best for the i patients, regardless of where that may be. The penitentiary should be located convenient to tome atone quarry , or some place where work could be pro vided for the prisoners. The salaries of the governor, the su preme judges, and other state officers should be fixed in such sums as would amply reward them, without piecing them out by commissions, or some other shift made necessary by the restrictions of the constitution. Our elections should be changed from June to Novem ber, so that business is not interfered with all summer every four years. The expense of a constitutional convention would be saved in a little while bv the saving on extra elections alone. We reed new constitution, and we need it badly, and the coming session of the legislature will be derelict in its duty if it does not take the steps neces sary to submit the question to the voters. SESSE VS. SOPIIOitOliE. We feel that Bishop Joyce did not mean to say what lie is reported as say ing in his sermon last Sunday, to the effect that newspaper men, most of whom bad not attained the standing of sophomore, were in the habit of criticis ing religion. We do not believe be in tended to convey the meaning that his language indicated. There are several reasons why we do not believe it. In the first place, the bishop being an edu cated, intelligent man, would hardly tie guilty of throwing stones, because the Methodist mansion is, in respect to sophomores, composed laagcly of crys tal. We noticed in the report of last year's conference, held, we believe, at Sookane. the requirements held to be necessary to admit applicants to the ministry, were rather brief, the last one mentioned being that they "must have common sense." There is nothing said about collegiate education. In fact the college graduates among the ranks of the ministry are in a very large minor ity, and this is especially true of the Methodist church, which of all denom ination is msst liberal in permitting its members to fill its pulpits. Besides, when Christ selected his twelve disci ples be sought them not from among the wealthy, not from among those who had been given the opportunities for higher education. There was not one of tbem who had arrived at the dignity of a sophomore's station. In this connection we might add that a college education does not necessarily makean intelligent man or a successful one. A calf may suck two cows and only succeed in being a bigger calf; and the saoie is true of humanity in regard to absorbing the mental pabulum fur nished by our colleges. Four-filths of the college graduates are practically failures in life. The "common sense" required by the rules of the church to permit members becoming ministers is a much more important requirement than the sophomore's education, and if the good bishop meant what he said, he himself is a fair demonstration of it. TUE HARPIES GOSE. Congress has adjourned and the coun try can now apply arnica and stick ing plaster to its wounds, knowing it will receive no more for torn months at least, and recover as best it may. The president thanked both the house and senate, and expressed the with that jthey might have a rdeaaant vacation The dispatches do not say whether or not he Included Gorman, though, It Is probable that he did, with the men tal addition to his good wishes that in that gentleman's case the said vacation might extend over a period of time equal to that mentioned in the marriage ser vice. We congratulate the president in that he no longer has a congress on bis hands ; the country on the fact that it can take a rest, and congress for its op portnnitr to take a much-needed and long-continued rest. The president has been so aiiuoved and harassed by the congressional crows that for a while, at least, he will be lonesome. Hut then, when he feels that he can no longer ex ist without the companionship of the old congressional flock, he ran go to Ituzzards bay. President Cleveland has written I letter to Congressman Catchings of Mis sissippi giving his reasons for not veto ins the Wilson bill., with Gorman's brands and ear-marks on it. The presi dent savs he is not bigger than his partv, but that he is in accord with it. Gorman has done at least one good thing in convincing the president of what common people knew before. When be took Gresham for a bedfellow he was not of his present opinion. lie thought he was a great deal larger than his party. As a result his administra tion finds itself covered with mugwump vermin, which serves only to make it scratch. The Tacoma affair was opened yester day. United States Senator Watson C. Squire was selected to press the button, which from much practice in the polit ical arena, he did with a delicacy and precision of touch that prevented his tine Italian hand being seen in the oper ation. The crowd is estimated to num ber 50,000, which would indicate that, by the census, nearly two-thirds of the citizens of the charming village were at home. This proves conclusively that Tacomaites are patriottc and that most of them came home from the mountains, in spite of the disugreeablenem of the fair in time to swell the crowd. Politics are getting warm in most of the states, but Oregon has had her little fever and recovered, and so can look on calmly while her sister states wrestle with the disease. The elections are of more than usual interest, as they are the first held since the tariff agitation began, and as the successors of those who passed the hill will be chosen, the judgment of the people on the measure will be learned from the ballot boxes in November. Local matters will have tome effect on the results, but taken as a whole, the result of the November election will be a fair expression of pub lic opinion on the Gorman bill. We acknowledge the receipt this morning of the fifty-eighth monthly re port of the Oregon State Weather Ser vice, giving a detailed description of weather conditions last January. It is intensely interesting reading while the thermometer is up near the hundred mark, and shows the wisdom of Messrs. Hayes and Blandford. Some persons, if they had charge of the weather, would get out the monthly report at the end of the month, but Hayes and Blandford ith a wisdom that compels admiration, turn on their January weather report in August, and the August varietv in Janu ary. Great heads. The last river and harbor bill pasted by the recent congress provides, amongst other things, $100,000 for The Dalles boat railway. Some folks think this ill cause considerable work here, but they are badly mistaken. It will take all of the amount to put the engineers in a good humor, and make a prelimin ary survey. It is largely a political move, but still something may come of it in the next twenty or thirty years. With the experience we have had with the canal and locks at the cascades, Dalles people are not liable to grow en thusiastic over the matter. The Salem Independent reiterates the charge the Lower Soda Springs were poisoned. Amongst other things in proof of its charge it adds that "not long since a rank taste was noticed in the Sodaville water, and upon opening the reservoir where the water ia caught, a litter of pups in an advanced state of decomposition was ditcovered." This indicates that the old Latin poet, Hor ace, we believe, must have visited that locality before he wrote those charming lines beginning "0 Yer punr-ura" 'Violet-colored Spring." August 30th has come and and is gone, the earth has not quaked and the tidal wave has not waved. The conjunctive ness of Saturn, Jupiter and the other in habitants of spare did not affect the crust of the earth to make it heave, f alb is no good ; he is a gay, giddy de ceiver, who didn't have money enough to visit the seashore, and maliciously tried to drive everybody else home. Falb coufdn't predict rain in Oregon in March. The name Gorman ia probably de rived from gourmand and to in plain English it a synonym for glutton, twine, etc. This it according to the eternal fitness of things, Gorman being the great American hog. SOME SALEM MISTERS. The Salem Statesman couuiientiug on what we said the other day, concerning the stale fair, "that Eastern Oregou would cheerfully assist in making some other place the capital of the state," j says : "This unkindeat cut of all is from Tim C11110Nu1.it, a paper published at 1 he Dalles, which city reaps the benefit of ! the portage railway, which was built by state appropriation. But Salem never j objected to the appropriation. She 1-1 lioved it was for the best interest of the state." The Statesman dodges the question that has stirred Kastern and Southern Oregon up against her. It points to the portage road at the Cascades, which cost 160,000, an amount about equal to that expended on the dome of the capltol at Salem the tame year. Of courte Salem did not object to the building of the portage at the Cascades. It would have done so, however, if it had been possible to move the Cascade to Salem. It aomes with 111 grace from that paper to I twit Eastern Oregon about the Cascade portage, for years before Eastern Oregon stood manfully by the Willamette valley in constructing the locks at Oregon City. Salem did not object to that either, what the does object to is the building of anv state buildings outside of the reach of Salem. That the constitution of the state gives her ground for this contention we freely admit, but the agricultural college, the soldiers' home and other stale institutions have lieen located elsewhere in violation of it. The state constitution was made for a com monwealth of thirty or forty thousand people, and Oregon has outgrown it We need a new one, or else such an in terpretation of the present one as will allow the state to do business. The locating of a branch insane asylum in Eastern Oregon is an absolute necessity. It is needed to provide a place for the treatment of the insane from the valley and coast counties, because it gives a change of climate and plenty of sun shine, but the welfare of the insane must stand to one side to satisfy the grasping disposition of Salem. We are not finding fault with the board locating the asvlum elsewhere than at The Dalles. We wanted it, it is true, but when the board in its wisdom selected another site, we acquiesced cheerfully in its decision. It matters not to us a cent whether the branch asylum is built or not, but we reiterate the statement that Salem's action has aroused the indigna tion of the entire state, and that most of the people feel as we do, that tne capitol should be removed to Portland, which is the traffic center of the state, and the proper place for it. To get from one sec tion of the state to any other the traveler is compelled to para through Portland. It is the natural and most convenient place for the state capital, and us fellows up in Eastern Oregon stand ready to help remove it to that point. If Portland will get a move on, she can have the capital just as soon as the constitution and laws caa bechanged to permit it. HEATS THE RECORD. Ii Edward FoUom, aged 27, under ar rest at Harnmond'port, X. V., is as black a villian as be is painted, he is easily the worst outlaw that ever lived. It is charged that Fuleom, within the past two weeks, planned three murders. tried to rob a bank three times, passed half a dozen lorged notes, attempted to wreck a train, fired eleven buildings, eloped with the prettiest girl in the village and after the arrest twice at tempted suicide. A companion obtained money for him on .forged notes. One was refused payment, and he plotted to kill the cashier. The scheme fell through, as the "pal" engaged for the deed lost his nerve. On Friday last be placed an iron rail on the Bath and Hammonds port track, but the obstruction was seen in time. Over thirty fires have occurred in Hanimondsport within the laftt two months. On Monday last five houses, four barns and a gristmill were destroyed. When the officers appeared at Folsom'a house last night the young man grabbed a butcherknife and tried to cut his own throat. He then dashed to the street and threw himself in a near-by-pond. He was nearly drowned. Folsoin's wife is the seventeen-year-old daughter of the wealthiest man in the village. The ceremony was performed by a minister who had previously been adjudged in sane. .1 WRATUY AST. An article in this family journal a few days ago concerning Salem and the state fair, aroused the wrath of the Statesman, which makes a personal attack on the writer hereof. We presume the article was penned by C. 15. Irvine, as hia name appears as manager of that paper. Here is the way the gentlemanly editor rants our horoscope : "We are happily aware of the fact that when the newspaper shyster Cradlebatigh presumes to speak at "Eastern Oregon," he doe to in an equally representative capacity with the three London tailors who spoke for "we, the people of England," and it is not particularly to reply to him that this article is intended. He deserves neither attention nor argument. He has never been other in the newspaper business than the hired tool of jealons opponents of existing powers. A cheap ageucv always sufficiently diaengaged to be made use of in an endeavor to tear down what honest worth and indtixlry and I perseverance had built up to eneak in and by tubtcrfuge, demagogy, pandering t the lower prejudices of men and such meant aa are known only to crlttert of his ilk, divide public sentiment, create I fictions and destroy the harmony of I social and hi! itu-ul communit'iea. In j this instance, he would feign muke him self the chainpioti of one section of thej slate against another, when in fact there is neither quarrel nor ill will between them except in so far as such a he can creste it. Such ia the author of the fore going, an irresponsible, tiuisution-loving penny-a-liner, who is not happy unless he it slinging mud at hit betters." A careful perusal of the Statesman's statement concerning our personal and political proclivities will convince any fair-minded man that Salem is not swinioh, and that there is no ill-feeling between Eastern Oregon and Salem. The Statesman's argument is convinc- inc. At to ita attack on the writer hereof, we simply desire to lift our hat to the gentleman who does the writing for that journal, and to acknowledge his unchallenged right to pose as a leader iu Oregon journalism. His high sense of honor, chaste language and nobleness of character, should entitle him to the respect and reverence of the fraternity. S EVA DA UAS THE STRISCS Mrs. W. K. Vandcrhilt, it is said, is about to begin an action to separate her self from her husband. It seems they do not get along nicely together, it be ing stated that she exacts too much and her husband concedes too little. At any rate there is a pretty mess of scandal stirred up in Paris over Mr. Vander bilt' openly expressed admiration for, and association with an American grass widow of the oligotokons variety, a Mrs. Neustratter, formerly the wife of a cigar drummer in San Francisco. The lady was born in Eureka, Nevada, thirty years ago, her father being a prominent merchant of that sage brush city in It palmiest dayt. She is said to lie the handsomest woman in Paris, and when Mr. Vanderbilt first met her the tun light of a love as warm as high noon in Yuma in August poured into the deep est recesses of his aorta. He would have surrendered to her charms, but he did not have time, to he just succumbed. He presented her 40,000 francs, taught ber a palace, and dressed her servants up in the tume gaudy livery that was worn by those of his wife. In short, he seemed troubled with a desire to tee how many kinds of a burro he could make of himself at once, aud succeeded in breaking the record in that line with out a akip. Mrs. Vanderbilt, having to draw the lino somewhere, naturally objected to Mrs. Neustatter't servants wearing the Vanderbilt livery. She very properly desired the public to know the Vander bilt uniform only accompanied the Van derbilt family, and objected to that uni farm being to used as to place her in a false position. The result of it alt is that the Vanderbilt friends are crossing the wide ocean numerously to get tome kind of a pea-e patched up between them. The chief peace-maker is a Mr. Jay, who is all that his name suggests for having anything to do with the social decoction. In the meanwhile the pretty little Jewess is assisting William in sowing a goodly portion of the old commodore's wealth, and it not bother ing herself about what either the world, Mrs. V. or the d 1 think of her. Just for a little comparison to show that our worthy friend of' the Salem Statesman ia a consistent gentleman, we quote two sentences from the article in which be makes a personal attack on the editor of Ins Cukonicle. He says: "It it not our purpose now to discuss the legal aspect of the branch asylum question, aa there ia doubtful merit in the position of man who ttandt forth and openly advocates a disregard of fundamental law which happens to stand in the way of local ambition." And then speaking of Salem'e legitla tors, he taya: "They voted for the lo cation of the branch asylum in Eastern Oregon despite their knowledge of its unconstitutionality, simply from pure seneroauy to those people." It will be teen from thia that it ia high treason fur an Eastern Oregon citizen to tuggest a change in the constitution ; but a com mendable act for a Salem legislator to violate it. It is a pity that the ataiving stock of Kansaa and Nebraska cannot be shipped to Oregon to fatten on the ten cent wheat that ia piled np through thia country. If our wheat growers bad the capital to purchase hogs feeders and put their wheat into them, we feel cer tain that instead of ten cents bnshel it would net from fifty to seventy cents. We are told by the newspapers of the East that stock hogs can be purchased for a trifle, that horses are being killed to prevent their starving. It teems aa though tome arrangement could be made with the railroadtto transport thia stock cheaply to that profitless grain and starving animala could be brought to gether. There would be big profit in the transaction and ties ides it would demonstrate the feasibility of raising hoga en wheat, and so put life into a new industry.
