You eon count the republican tm
paper Id Oregon that are supporting
Senator Dolph on the fingers of one
hand.
Thus are six newspaper men in
the Oregon legislature, all republican
and all have declared themselves a
opposed to the re-election of Senator
Dolph.
' Utah will come into the Union with
more population than Wyomiug, Idaho
and Nevada combined, and aa it ha
60,000 children attending the public
schools, the prospect of ita remaining
republican ia excellent.
Tbb oldeat voter at the polls in Bos
ton last week waa a woman of 95, who
has never missed her vote since women
in Massachusetts were given the suff
rage (or school trustees. The answer
to the question as to whether women
will rote or not if they have the chance
seems to be it depends on the women
Tbb Mist has no deaere to dictate
to any member of the legislature how
be should vote on the senatorial ques
tion, but suffice it to Bay that if the
member of that body represent the
wishes of a majority of their constit
uents Mr. Di.lpb will not get one vote.
The members knw 'this fact, and it
only remains to be seen whether they
will beed it.
It appears from the latest statistics
that America, or the Western hemis
phere, had, at the end of 1892, 218,671
miles of railroad, or 31 ,090 miles more
than all the rest of the world. The
roads of the United States at that time
; comprised about 176,000 miles, which
was more than the combined mileage
of Europe, Asia and Africa. We have
25.12 miles of road for every 10,000 in
habitants, against only 4.22 miles for
Europe. This shows at a glance the
; importance of the railroad system in
our plan of prosperity and progress,
and also the wisdom of permitting it
to be operated without annoying and
injurious legislative interference.
Tbs Catholic church, in obedience
; to the edict of the pope, has denounced
orders of Knights of Pythias, Odd Ftl
lows and Sons of Temperance, and is
sued an ultimatum that nit members
of the Catholic church withdraw from
tnoee orders, all because the priests
were not permitted to inspect the rit
uals ot those orders. It is pr bable
that some may withdraw in obedience
' to tbs pope's commands, but he who
would do so is uri w..nhy the hluh
honor conferred upon him when taken
into those order, aud the sioieties are
better off with him out of it. In those
order manhood alone ia the essential
qo.ilfncatioa, and neither the pope of
Rome or Harvey Scott are competent
to criticise. . v
, Tbb Ongonian still insist that any
man who favors an increased coinage
of silver and consequently oppoved to
Dolph, is a crank, a lunatic, flighty,
crotchety, visionary, viluirative, and

TBI FtOPUT WISSiS cotg rissr.
From every quarter and irora every
nook and bamlet the oommon people
are demanding a change ia United
8tates senator. Among the popula
tion in Columbia county we believe
sir. Dolph's entire strength could be
counted on the fingers of two hands.
The people want a change, and sinoe
the people are the government they
have a right thava their wishes in the
premises carried out. Mr. : Dolph's
aotioa in reporting adversely on the
land grant forfeiture) bills, whioh gives
to the raitrxtda undisputed title to
54,000,000 acres of the publio domain,
not one foot of whioh have they ever
earned, has greatly increased the eon
detonation of his coarse lately, and
the only way for the republican party
to overcome its effect is to elect a new
man who ia In touch with the people
instead of the railroads.
A conservative estimate will give
the opposition to Mr. Dolpb nine out
of every ten votes in the atate. This
senatorial question is one that voters
of all parties have seriously etudied for
some time, and they know what they
want. The candidates for the lesria-
lature knew what the people wanted
last spring when not one of them dare
announce publicly or privately that hr
waa in favor of the preeeot incumbent
for re-election. The voters took them
at their word and ones mors clothed
them with power to serve their wishe
and elect a man of their own class U
the United Htatee senate, balieviun
confidently that Mr. Dolpb would not
be selected. '
Can the legislators so far forget their
dnty to their constituents as to return
the very man which, in all fairness to
their people and honor to themselves.
the, by implication last June, prom'
ised to leave at hornet
In lien of these facte there is but
one way for Mr. Dolph to he elected'
money against the will ot the people
and since the people are to nnanimon
in oppoeition to the senator their
RiFtssutTATivis cannot cojsistently
vote to return him. If they do it will
take more than circumstantial evi
dence to convince the people that they
have not been betrejed lor pecuniary
eonsideratHwa. '
IHtK AND K0W.
When 8enster Dolpb left for Wash
ington a few weeks ago to resume bis
duties in the senate, he was under the
impression that his re-election waa an
assured fact, and that, therefore, bir
presence would not be necesary in
Oregon during neit January. Bnt
the senator's opinion of the situation
has changed, and the gentleman will
be at home during the pending sena
torial contest, and as a defense for hi
deserting bis poet of duly to dabble in
politics the Oregonian's hired man at
Washington telegraphs the following
to that paper: .
It is not going to be a rare thing
for the neit few we.-k to find thai
several senator and some represents
lives will be absent, looking after sen
atorial elections. One or two instance
have occurred where senators who
felt confident of re-election remained
in Washington, believing that the peo
ple would take care of their interests,
ouly to find that tbey bad in the eud
been bra tan by some peculiar means
which they might hare prevented had
they been on ibe ground. . It ia no
longer considered indelicate for a sen
ator or representative seeking a sena
torial election to visit the state capital
during the contest, if contest there
should be. The person vbo loudly
shouts that a man should be at hi
post attending to bis duties may be
classed as the man who is opposed to
the candidate anyway, and can find
no good in him."
Two years ago when the Waabing-
ton legislators was having a deadlock
in trying to elect Senator Allen's suc
cessor, that gentleman came home o
xk after bis chance., and at that
time there was nothing too sarcnn tu
tor the Oregonian to say editorially or
locally about, a public servant who
woulJ desert bis post of duiy to take
part iu hi re-election. But since the
great Dolpb has do;e the same thing
it is no longer an "in delicate" act The
fact of the matter ia Mr.' Dolpb con
cedes bis weakness I y coming home,
and at the same time betrays the tract
reposed in bim by the people who
have bestowed upon him more honor
th in he ever deserved. We belikve
his presence will, and it ought to, de
feat bim.
Tbb people who have elitims on the
alleged railroad lands on Wilson
liver had just as ' well not gu to
uny further eziienre, as the rilnadi
are sursi to win. The forfeiture bill
ha. been reported adversely by 'Sena
tor D 'lph and his committee, snd un
less Senator Mitchell slid Congrow-
nmn Hermann can offset this influence
there is no bops for the settlers who
have spent so mttch money and time
on ti - claims. Thoae who have

forever exoludc tbs settler from getting
justioe. If tbs forfeiture bill could be
passed It would relieve tbs settlers at
once, but Dolpb is throwing cold water
on that, yet the Dolpb organs a few
weeks ago were urging his election,
saying his Influence was necessary to
get the forfeiture bill through. That
argument is like their other argu
ment. Tillamook Headlight (rep).
What the Oregonian don't know
about finaoce would make t) volume
