TOO MUCH LAW.
The Tomahawk, usually correct in
its views, takes a shy from its orbit
this week on the subject of the Ore
gpn senatorial muddle, and, with the
Oresonian, asserts that the law is
. with Corbett, and that he is entitled
- to his seat la defending its post
tioo the Tomahawk says :
In the lisht, however, that the
United States senate recognizes and
is governed by no law but of its own
making, the question as to whether
; Mr. Corbett will be. seated resolves
itself into one of political expedi
ency and not of equity to the stale
of Oregon or consistency on the part
'of that ausust bodv. The plea that
there already exist precedents em-
bracing the Oregon case is childish
because there has never before been
a case of just such complications in
the history of this country. There
have been cases where the legisla
laws and voted for a senator, but
failed to agree, and in this failure to
agree the United States senate found
room for the excuse aTid denied the
applicant at its doors his seat. We
deem such ruling on the part of the
fipnata aa hio-mv onnaifirpnt.. hAnmiap
o"'j - ,
when a legislature has met, organized,
passed laws and voted for, but failed
to elect a senator, the senate bad no
consistent right to seat any appointee,
. for such a failure bore the evidence
upon its face that the delegated rep
reseutatives of such a state did not
desire to have a United States . sena
tor. But when a legislature fails to
meet, never organizes, never notifies
the chief executive, never passes a
law, and consequently never votes
for a senator, what reasons are there
" for permitting even a faint compari
son between the two? Obviously
uone but such as may be r evolved
from political necessity.
The trouble seems to be that the
papers dealing with this question are
ail hunting too much law, and avoid
ing too much common sense. Ther
draw the distinction between a legis
lature that organizes and refuses to
do its duty, and one that refuses to
organizes for the purpose of avoid
ing its duty. There is a difference
it is true the difference between
tweedle-dum and tweedle de'. "When
. the sticklers for law concede the first
proposition, the second follows, as a
matter xof" couise. The legislature
cannot do indirectly what it cannot
do directly, and its refusal to organ
ize for the purpose of preventing the
' election of a senator is as much its
deliberate act as though it had or
ganized and then refused to elect.
It is true - technical objections can
- be made to this position, but we ,are
not talking from the standpoint of
legal hair splitters, we are talking
sense. We are expressing the senti
ments of the great mass of the peo
pie, who are honest; not of. the few
politicians who are "anything for the
squirrel.' " Of the masses who are

It may be possible, and it may be

other extreme and "have too little.

NO SURRENDER.
The Pendleton Tribune, m dis
cussing the Oregon senatorial qnes
tion, among other things says :
The Mitchell Republicans and the
anti Mitchell Republicans most unite
and as Republicans vote for a Kepub
hcan. Mitchell is now out of the
contest, and while there may be those,
including the Tribune, who may
think, and" with good reason, that
Mitchell vpuld have been elected
had the house organized, all good
Republicans, with the best . interests
of their party at heart, can well
afford to forget and forgive, and
take for granted that after all per
haps the elimination of Mitchellism
from . the politics of this state has
been for the best. The Tribune is
now willing to concede this in the
interest of party fealty. But let us
have a senator by r some hook or
crook.
The people want a senator without
either hook or crook,but one elected
as the constitution provides, 'not one
appointed by the governor, or, to
put it properly, not one selected by
a combination of Populists, Demo
crats and Simon Republicans, the
whole combination being a minority
of the legislature.
Against Mr. Corbett personally we
have nothing to say : against the
manner of his getting the office we
have always protested, always will
protest. There can be no compro
mise with dishonor; no palliating of
a deliberate violation of the consti
tution and the laws of the state: no
surrender by the majority of the Re
publicans to a small minority ; no
treaty nor ratification of any treaty
by the Repubiican party of the state
with those who ca'led the Populists
and Democrats to their aid to thwart
the will of the paitv. The interests
of "party fealty" demand that party
treachery be. not rewarded. . If this
mean parly war, so be it; if it mean
a battle that may for a year or two
retire the Republican party from
power ic this state, let it go at that
There is going to be no cowardly
settlement in this matter. Each side
ealizes this; realizes that one or the
Other miist go to the wall, and all
appearance of peace is at the best
but an armed neutrality.
"One of the greatest factors in the
return of prosperity, which we are all
anxiously waiting for," remarked a
Chicago manufacturer recently, "will
be the. collapse of the steel pool.
Carnegie and Rockefeller are reach
ing out for the markets of the world
in the steel trade. This means an
enormous production of steel and the
employment of an army of American
workmen at good wages, though the
price of rails will be lower. Hereto
fore the greatest obstacle to Euro
pean trade has been the cost of trans
portation. Carnegie and Rockfeller
will float their steel down the Ohio
and the Mississippi to New Orleans
on barges, which are now being con
structed. From that point the steel
will, be shipped as ballast in cotton
carrying steamers, which beretofore
have used water ballast.'! -' -
Senator Ingalls reported the Cor-
bett-Fitzsimmons argument for the
San Francisco Examiner. Slowly,
but surely, Ingalls is redeeming him
self, Though handicapped by being
member of the United States sen
ate for eighteen years, Ingalls has
rjsen superior to his evil associates
and has blossomed out as a full
fledged reporter. Its a long step
from the United States senate to the
proud position of special representa

equal to the occasion, and gave a
creditable write-up. ,
When readers understand that the
newspapers that are making the hard
est fight against "new journalism"
are doing so for the purpose of beat
ing their rivals and -securing patron
age for. themselves, they can under
stand also the high morality which
those same papers' possess. As for
us, we prefer the new journalism
that gives the news to the dreary

platitudes of the "unco good" sheets
that hold up their hands in horror at
news, and sell .themselves to the
enemies of. the people.

object to new journalism.
Some wretch of - an inventor has
made a machine that will magnify

The very thought of the results of
that invention makes one regret that
noses are necessary.-
The county judges of most, of the
counties declare their determination
not to pay over the state's proportion
of taxes unless the legislature meet
and make the regular appropriations.
Of course the law provides for the
paying over of the money at a stated
time, but it must be remembered
also provides that the -legislature
shall meet at a certain time.
Mark Hanna is already paying the

Hon. Alfred 8. Bennett.
The subject of this biographical sketch
has led an active life, both- as a public
man and a private individual. Born in'
Dubuque county. Iowa, in lso4, coming
to Oregon at a very early age, with a
passion for mastering everything that
promised emolument or honor, he began
tbe practice of law in 1880 and was ap
pointed circuit judge of the fifth judicial
district in 1882, daring which time he
gave universal satisfaction. His offices
in the Schanno building contain one of
the largest and most complete libraries
in the Northwest. The judge, as he Is
still called, is the personification of in

honored and respected by all.
