EMPIRE.
Congress yesterday morning passed
the sundry civil impropriation bill
which includes an appropriation of
250,000 tor repairs to and extension
of ihe jetty at the mouth of the
Columbia river. Provision is als
made for a survey for canal and
locks between Cclilo and The Dalles.
This is a very gratifying piece of
news. The passage of the bill means
that the ji tty will be repaired an1
the survey for the canal and locks
made in time to ask for appropria
tions at the next session of congress.
The procurement of an appropriation
for the survey of the canal and locks
is peculiarly gratifying to the people
ot the inland empire. The boat rail
way scheme that, whether designedly
or not, has long effected the sus
jKinsion of inceptive work at The
Dalles is now happily out of the way,
let it be hoped, forever. When the
survey is made for a canal and locks
there ought to be no insuperable
difficulty in procuring an appropria
tion for a railway, such as will bo a
necessary adjunct to the construction
of the canal and locks, and at the
same time be open to public use till
the permanent improvements are
completed. The proposition Is rad
ically different from ordinary gov
eminent ownership of railways and
cannot properly be construed as an
entering wedge to that form of
paternalism. The road will become
& government necessity, once the
construction of tho permanent im
provements commence. Its joint
usa by the public, under necessary
restrictions, need not seriously effect
its efficiency for both parties. Its
cost would be a bagatelle compared
with its value as a regulator of
freights. It would save to the reople
of Eastern Oregon, Washington and
Idaho twice its cost every year, and
would largely meet the demands of
traffic till the canal and locks are
completed. If we had a score of
private portages this one would do
more to bring down rales to a reason
able, living basis than them all, for
it could not oe sold out to the high
est bidder nor forced or led into
combinations to maintain exhorbitant
or unreasonable rates. It is to be
lioped that the energy that has pro
cured Ihe appropriation for the sur
vey will not be relaxed till a portage
railway, as a temporary expedient,
is au accomplished fact.
president of the National Association
of democratic clubs, that '-reports
from all parts of the country indi
cate that the piincipal work of the
democratic clubs next .spring will be
the inauguraiioo of Mr. Bryan at
Washington." Now that Mr. Hearst
has heard from Oregon he will prob
ably conclude that the principal
work of the democratic clubs next
spring will be the inauguration of a
big funeral, with Bryanism for the
corpso and the clubs as chief
mourners.

EE-
The Oiegonian has learned some
thing from the election of last Mon
day as the following leader from
today's issue cleaily shows. If it
and the faction it represents had
pursued towards those whom it
characterizes as "a powerful and
disgruntled faction" the policy it
now advocates as the pait of wisdom
it would not row have to deplore a
dcleat that however humiliating to
itself is the best thing that has hap
nened to the party in a score of
years.
'In the resu't in Multnomah
country there is a lesson that is
sufficiently clear. In a county where
the dominant party possesses an am
bitious, powerful and disgruntled
faction that is ready at all times to
combine with the opposition, it is
the part of wisdom to pursue a con
ciliatory course towaid such faction.
The Oregoninn suggested such poljcVi
at the beginning of the contest for
the nominations this year. It was
not heeded. What has followed is
matter of course. But the result is
not disastrous. The tvo republican
members of the house of representa
tives have been re-elected, and,
though the status of the legislature
is not vet entirely clear, it is be
lieved that some kind of a republican
will be or may be elected to the
senate. Whether these bickerings in
the party will ever cease till there
shall be a smashing defeat in both
state and nation seems uncertain;
but they ought to cease, for they arc
very tiresome."
The Telegram accounts in part for
Toncue's relatively small majority
when compared with Moody's by
saying that a good many republicans
were dissatisfied with Mr. Tongue's
vote on the Porto Rlcan tariff bill ;
adding that Tongue's "labored ex
planation did not fully explain to
the satisfaction of nil," and that "on
the Porto Rican bill Moody was
right," The Telegram's logic is not
clear or The Chuonicle's informa
tion is at fault. Mr. Moody voted
for the bill, precisely as Mr. Tongue
did. The only difference between
them was that Mr. Moody neither
.explained his vote nor was asked to
explain it. If either of them lost a
vote through their action on the bill,
it was that of sorrc republican mug
warn p whose perceptions had been
befogged by the misrepresentations
of the Portland papers.
The democrats fooled a large
number of the people four years ago
with their cries of the gold wolf that
was coming to devour them, says
(he Yamhill Reporter. Instead of a
ravenous wild beast, tho people have
found a peaceful pack animal, heav
ily laden with gifts for them. The
calamityitcs have cried "wolf" so
often that the people have lost con
fidence in them and their woeful
prophecies and refuse to believe
their warnings.
Our contemporary over on Court
atreet quotes with editorial approval
the jaying of William K. Hearst,
Oregon is not only safely repub
lican, it is tremendously republican.
Had it not been for the curse of
Simon-Corbettism, now happily and
gloriously rebuked, that pressed up-
on the party like a mountain of lead,
and the everlasting nag nagging and
carping, and the nearly always un
just . and unreasonable and always
unkind and ungenerous criticisms of
the McKinley administration by
Oregon's only paper, the state would
have gone republican by 20,000
majority.
With the success of the Multuomah
citizens' ticket in mind, which ticket
was a revolt against Simon-Corbett
boss imperialism, the Oregonian very
justly says: "Three or four men
cannot own a political party, treat it
as a property and do as they please
with it." And ogain: "We may
not all agree as to bow it happened ;
but we know what happened."
The Telegram gathers from the
election returns that the next Oregon
legislature is likely to end in a dead
lock over the election of a United
states senator. I here will be no
deadlock unless a factious minority
insists on the election of the man
who furnished the sack for the last
hold u p.
"As foretold by the Statesman,
the republicans have lost the Oregon
legislature," says our democratic
contemporary at Walla Walla. And
Oregon republicans, it may be
added, are enduring the loss" with
marvelous fortitude and compla
cency.
Even the Telegram is beginning
to see the point that the blraon
Corbett ring "assumed too much
when it took for granted that the
majority of the people can be fooled
most of the time."
The many friends of Pierce Mays,
both political and personal, will be
pleased to hear that he has been
elected one of the state senators from
Multnomah county. Mr. Mays will
ably and efficiently repiesent the
county of the metropolis, and Wasco
county ill have in the senator elect
a friend that can be relied on to sup
port any measure that will advance
the interests of her people. As Mr.
Mays is 1 Wasco county boy, raised
here from early childhood, he will
naturally feel kindly towards his old
home aid we shall feel that he is, in
a very real sense, one of our own
delegates to the state senate. His
election, by the way, is an effective
testimony to the stronghold he must
have on the voters of Multnomah
county. He had to fight the bitter
and relentless opposition of the whole
gang of entrenched Siraonism, backed
by tho powerful and trenchant on
slaughts of the Oregonian, that
singled him out from his colleagues
on the citizens' ticket for special and
vituperative attacks. That the object
sought to be attained by the citizens'
ticket lay near to tber hearts of the
voters of Multnomah county is
proved by the election of every mau
on that ticket. As a result of the
election this is only second in im
portance to the overwhelming vic
tory for sound money and national
expansion. It has proved, as the
Oregonian in its better moments
says, "that three or four men cannot
own a political party, treat it as
property and do as they pleaso with
it. That was Simon-Corbettism. If
the victory in which Mr. Mays was
a leader shall result later on in
wiping Simon and Corbett out of
political existence it will be the best
thing that has happened to the re
publicans of Oregon in a quarter of
a century.

The Oregonian has interviewed
the representatives and senators
elect from Multnomah county with
the result that "not a single legisla
tive member can be found who has
pledged his vote to any senatorial
candidate. One or two admit they
would not dislike to see ex-Senator
Mitchell get into the race. Others
say they are for any good, clean
man. If there is any enthusiasm for
Senator McBride, it could not be
detected, though a faithful search
was made." The Cokonicle is well
assured that tbe same conditions
exist here with reference to every
man elected to tin legislative as
sembly by the aid of Wasco county
votes. Not a single member-elect
was pledged to anybody or has com
mitted himself to anybody. The
senatorial prize is anybody's who can
capture it. This, under the circum
stances, is precisely as it should be.
And it ought to be the more readily
believed as it is not now recorded
for political effect.

Election Aftermath.
The action of the republican party
in turning down four republican sen
ators in Multnomah and seven out of
tbe twelve candidates for representa
tives is regarded as a protest against
Simon, Corbett & Co., says the
Baker City Republican. The repub
licans have a two-thirds majority in
both houses of the legislature. There
arc some things too galling for an
American to stand, and the republi
can party is intensely American. A
certain clement in tbe rcpuolican
party in Oregon is going to be laid
at rest and when it is done it will be
done so thoroughly that the crack ot
doom will not arouse it. Amen.
The rebuke administered to the
Simon-Corbett ring by the Multno
mah republicans rcdowns more to
the honor of the party than if it had
carried the state by 20,000 majority.
Who would have thought it? Now
the Americans in Cuba ore talking of
the pauper wages paid in the post
offices of the United Stales.
Tho Towne men announce that
the free-silver tail to Bryan's kite
Wis tied on to stay, and that it will
require a surgical operation to re
move it, says the Omaha Bee. With
grave fears that the patient will not
survive such an operation, the polit
ical surgeons, who are to mod in
consultation at Kansas City, may
think twice before they attempt it.
Says the Oregonian, speaking of
the rout of Simon, Corbett, Graham
Glass, ct id genus omnc, "There are
politicians who would know better
next time; but for them there will
be no next time,"
The elections in Multnomah coun
ty have cooked Mr. Corbctt's goose
to a turn. He will never be United
States senator,
Multnomah county gives Congress
man Moody 4803 majority over Smith.
The county seat fight in the new
county of Wheeler, has resulted in a
complete victory for Fossil.
Tongue appears to have carried every
county in his district except Linn, and
there the majority against him is less
than 250.
Today's Oregonian figures that the
next Oregon legislature will have a re
publican majority on joint ballot of
twenty-eight.
The republicans have carried tbe state
and congressional tickets in Umatilla
county by majorities of 360 to 550.
Sheriff Blakeley, democrat, and brother
of our Jndge Blakeley, is re-elected by
8S9 majority. The Blakeleys, both here
and there, are sprinters.
Crook county fusionists have elected
every man on their ticket but one, the
candidate for school superintendent.
Arthur Hodges, who bad held tbe office
of clerk for some fourteen years, was
defeated for re-election by a nephew of
the late well-known Warm Springs In
dian agent, Captain Smith.
From the returns, it will not be doubt
ed that Oregon is a republican, not a
democratic, state. Oregon will go
against the Bryanized democracy in
November by sheer momentum and
force, if not another word should be
poken on the subject Irom now till No
vember, says the Oregonian.
A Gnat Victory.
Oregon has gone republican by in
creased majorities. With reports yet
incomplete, Wolverton for supreme
court judge and Bailey for dairy and
food commissioner have carried the
state by majorities exceeding that given
for the republican ticket two years ago,
when the war spirit was active to swell
the republican vote to abnormal propor
tions. For congressman. Tonane in the
First district already has a plurality of
2629 votes, while In 1898 his entire plu
rality was but 2037. In the Second
district Moody's plurality of the present
incomplete returns is 8200, whereas in
1898 he won by only 6057.
These figures show that It has been a
notable republican victory. Local issues
mixed in the election of members of the
legislature, so that the Increased vote is
not so apparent in those officers, but the
legislature is strongly republican. From
only one county ot the state has the
complete unofficial return been report
ed Benton. For all others, Including
Multnomh. the figures are more or less
incomplete. Oregonian, June f.th.
