OUR NEW SENATOR.
The long agony ia over, the legislature
has adjourned, and ex-Secretary of
State George W.. McBride ia elected
United Statea senator to succeed Hon.
J. N. Dolph. . The choice does not meet
with general approval, but we believe
that that fact ia due to the surprise
occasioned by the election of McBride,
who was a horse so dark that he bad
not been considered by the public. If
Mr. ilcBride's physical condition per
mits, he will prove an energetic senator,
We eive below a brief sketch of. the
new senator, taken from the Oregonian
of yesterday :
"George Washington McBride is a na
tive son of Oregon, having been born in
Yamhill county in 1854. He is a son of
Dr. .lames McBride, who was well
known as one of tbe earliest and sturdi
est pioneers of thia state. Mr. Mc
Bride waa educated in the common
schools and at Willamette university,
Salem, and the Christian college (now
the state normal echool) at Monmouth.
In 1867 his parents left Yamhill county
and located at St. Helens, Columbia
county, which place he has made his
home ever since. Id 1882 he was elected
to the Oregon house of representatives,
and was subsequently chosen epeaker of
that body. In 1886 Mr. McBride was
nominated by the republicans for secre
tary of state, and was elected. His pop
ularity is attested by the fact that the
two principal nominees on the ticket
with him governor and treasurer were
deleated. Mr. McBride performed the
duties of his office so satisfactorily that
. he was re-nominated by acclamation in
.1890, and re-elected by a handsome iw
;jority. He served out the full term and
retired the first of the present year to
; give way to his successor.
. Mr. McBride - comes from an old and
-very well-known Oregon family.- He
has several brothers, who have achieved
. Heading positions in the law and in med-
. lcme. une Droiner is J uage l . a. iuc-
Bride of the fifth judicial district. An
other brother is John E. McBride, for
merly congressman from this state, and
now a prominent lawyer, of Spokane.
A third, Dr. McBride, is a leading phy
sician in Wisconsin. "
it was Mr. Mceride's early purpose
to become a lawyer, and with that end
in view, after leaving school, he entered
the law office of Judge J. C. Moreland of
this city. He remained three years
but during a great part of the time he
suffered much from bad health and did
not make the progress be desired. Mr,
McBride did not, however, give up his
design until his physical condition ren
dered it absolutely necessary. He then
engaged in mercantile pursuits in Col
umbia county, where be had large
property interests. During much of the
time he was secretary of state Mr. Mc
Bride battled with physical weakness,
but his will is strong, and he was able
to be almost constantly at his post of
' duty and personally to administer tbe
manifold duties of the office. It is well
L- nlum that Ika ssffinA nf oAAVAtn...
state has never been conducted more
satisfactorily to the people than during
Mr. McBride' s two terms. . Recently he
made a journey to New York for the
purpose so it was stated at the time
ot placing himself in the hands of emi
nent pnysicians, it appears with very
satisfactory results.
- M McBride ia often called an "Ore
gon boy." With the exception of two
yeara spent in San Francisco, he haa al
ways lived in Oregon. Personally be
possesses a charming address, which haa
doubtless had much to do with his po-

them or suffer punitive damages should
they kill, ia few' dozen citizens through
gross negligence concerning these defec
tive portions of their roads.
' The" railroads have need of the com
missions the public has not. What the
people want, and what, if they will do
their duty as citizens, they will have
two yeara from now, is a maximum rate
law, both as to passengers and freight.
This is a republican government, and it
needs no useless commissions to stand
between the laws and the people. Let
the railroad companies be' given a fair
maximum rate bill and then make them
obey it. That is all the people need,
and it won't cost a cent for commission
ers either. '
Since the above waa in type, we are
told by Mr. Maya, who has just returned
from Salem, that the $20,000 for the
railroad commissioners was put back in
the appropriation bill, and is a part of
it aa passed.
AN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION
A MAXIMUM RATE BILL.
The 20,000 item in the appropriation
bill waa cut out of that document before
; it passed, so that although the railroad
commission was not abolished, no money
was provided for paying its members.
The position Is a fat one, and it is quite
probable the old commissioners will un
dertake to bold over and get paid by
the next legislature. This would be a
dangerous thing for them to attempt, as
the chances will be largely against them
getting money. There ia nothing to
a. 4i 1 1 .1 : .
and taking their pay from the railroad
companies. .? We believe the t latter
would willingly , pay : their . salaries for
the protection and , benefit they derive
from the boards rA. rotten bridgea de
cayed trestle, or a dangerous . embank
ment or cut are all right as long as the
commissioners pronounce them so; and
the roads cannot be compelled to fix
Very few people realize, saya the
Eugene Register, how (treat has been tbe
fall in price of tbe necessities of life dur
ing the last twenty, or even during the
last 10, years. A t the present rate of
human progress, the luxuries of today
are apt to become- the necessities of to
morrow and so the saving affected on
one side merely supplies the means for
new expenditure on another. But in
dealing with the great transaction of in
ternational commerce it ia impossible to
overlook the enormous shrinkage that
haa taken plane in the value of the staple
products of the labor of man, side by
side with a steady increase of the rates
which are paid for that labor. Tbe ex
ports and imports of the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland fur
nish, perhaps, the most accurate stand
ard that ' could be selected ot tne course
of prices of these staples. There has
been no fluctuating tariff to affect values,
and no irregularity either in the mone
tary system or the conditions of exchange
to render them uncertain.' V
When we find that in 1874 England
paid $155,000,000 for 47,000,000 hundred
weights of foreign wheat and flour, and
that last year 89,000,000 hundredweights
costs her only $133,000,000, we get a real
izing sense of more than the significance
ot cheap bread. For there id in such
figures the sign and the measure of a
social revolution whose progress has
been none the less momentous because it
has been peaceful. To go back only 10
years ago, $50,000,000 buys 25,000,000
pounds of tea more than it would have
done in England in 1884, and 14,000,000
hundredweights of refined sugar can be
imported 'for the price paid in 1884 for
little more than 10,000,000. In ten years
the quantity of dead meat imported into
the United Kingdom has nearly doubled,
while its declared value has increased
barely 50 per cent.
The cheapening of articles of food has
been no more remarkable than that of
the raw material of manufacture. In
1874, 14,000,000 hundredweights of raw
cotton are valued among British imports
at $255,000,000, while last year 16,000,000
hundredweights count for only $165,000,-
000. The imports of wool were 180,000,-
000 pounds more last year than tbev
were in 1884, but they cost $6,600,000
less than they did then. Of course, the
value of tbe manufactured product bears
the impress of the decreased value of tbe
raw material. Great .Britain received
$25,000,000 less for the cotton fabrics she
shipped last year than she did for those
exported in 1874. but she, nevertheless,
sent out 1,700,000,000 yards more. For
less than 2,500,000 tons of iron and steel
manufactures exported in 1874 tbe price
was $155,900,000 ; for considerably more
than 2,500,000 tons exported last year
the price was about $73,000,000. These
are some of the data which will go to
the making of one of the most remarka
ble chapters' in the history of this cen
tury tbe still incomplete economic
revolution to' which the concluding
quarter of it will have been a witness,
; VA . TELL TALE REPORT.
The following ia the report of the gov
ernment statistician for the months of
January and February, and it tells an
eloquent story of the hard timej. In
live' stock-alone the decrease in values
from the same months in 1894 is equal
to one-fifth of all the gold, silver, and
paper money ia circulation in this coun
try:, " . . " ,
The estimates of farm animals for
January, 1895, show a. decrease in the
number of horses as compared with Jan
1894, of 187,821, or 1.17 percent,' a de
crease in mules of 19,123, or .0.81 per
cent; an increase in milch cows of 17,-
229, or 0.10 per cent ; a decrease in oxen
and other cattle, of 2,243,952, or 6.13 per
cent; a decrease in number of sheep of
2,753,953, or 6.11 per cent; a decrease in
the number of swine of 1,040,782, or 2.30
per cent. In value per capita horses
have declined 24.1 per cent; mules 23.5
per cent; milch cows have increased
about 1 per cent ; oxen and other cattle
have lost in . value 4.1 per cent ; sheep
have declined 20.2 per cent, and 6wine
16.9 per cent. The decline in tbe farm
prices of horses is very general through
out the country, tbe exceptions being in
the mountain and Pacific States and
Massachusetts. The range of prices is
from $15.37 per head in New Mexico to
$81.21 in Rhode Island. The average
value of milch cows has increased from
$21.77 in 1894 to $21.97 for this year.
The average values per capita of ani
mals, as estimated, are as follows:
Horses, $36.29; mules, $47.55; milch
cows, $21,97; oxen and other cattle,
$14.06; sheep, $1.58; hogs, $4.97. Total
value of live stock on farms is $1,819,-
446,306, a decrease of $351,370,448 from
the total value of 1894.
N. R. PACKARD'S CASE.
A. lew days since, commenting on a
telegram stating that N. R. Packard bad
been arrested in California charged with
falsifying the county records or some
thing of that kind, we stated that Mr.
Packard waa at one time county, clerk
here, and that he left here with serious
charges hanging over him. Such .was
the statement made to us, as, of course,
we know nothing personally of the mat
ter, as it was long before our time here.
However, we have examined into tbe
matter, and fail to find anything more
than the statement that there was con
siderable talk concerning Mr. Packard's
management of the office. If he com
mitted any offense, here there is nothing
to show that fact, as he was never ar
rested, or as far as we can learn even
publicly charged with anything wrong.
We make this statement for the reason
chat the article in question has been
copied in some of the California papers
and' may work an injustice to Mr. Pack
ard. We do not believe in kicking a
man because be is down,' and if Mr.
Packard is in trouble in California.be
haa enough to contend with without a
gratuitous kick from ns. -
The , returns as to the amount of your

put off six weeks. v
Tbe populists were not in it Sunday.
The sun shone down from a cloudless
sky upon the glad spring day, which re
publicans and democrats can claim as
their own. The legislature had ad
journed, and the pledges of economy
and reform, of lopped off railroad and
other commissions, had not been kept.
In consequence there was a disgruntled
feeling in tbe republican camp, which
awakened the tenderest sympathies of
tbe democrats, who know bow it is
themselves, and who in turn await the
adjourning of the natioual legislature
that they elected, and that was "full ot
promise." Membersjof the two old par
ties in Oregon have at last a common
ground upon which they can meet and
mingle their tears.- Violated pledge!
and broken promises are becoming
property in common.
Professor and Stadent Sot Sufficiently
Orthodox. .
Oakland, Calif., 23. Charles W.
Wood worth, professor of entomology at
the state university, and W. . C. Max
well, a student of the same place, have
been expelled from, the First Baptist
church of Berkeley on charges of hetero
doxy, preferred against them by the
Rev. W. C. .Learned and the deacons of
the church.. Professor Woodworth was
superintendent of the Sunday school at
the church, and Maxwell waa a member
of the sane church. Some time ago
Maxwell began to express opinions in
religious circles that were regarded by
church members as heterodox in their
nature. The young dissenter was
brought be lore the pastor and deacons,
and made to answer to the charge of
heresy. Maxwell refused to recant, and
Professor "Woodworth upheld him, ex
pressing tbe same beliefs. He published
a circular giving his views, the main
point of which was that baptism is not
a prerequisite to church membership,
nor to the Lord's supper. Then both
offenders were expelled.
