On of lha first things the legiela ture should do is to reduce expenses to the lowest possible figure consistent with good government. Let the gen- ral appropriation bill be carefully ex amined and il there should appear an item which would aeem in the least way extravagant, let it be culled from the list or reduced to a reasonable figure. ! ' ' ' ' : Til decision of Judge Myers of Kansas that the alien and law of that late does not apply to the right of ray of railroad corporations will prob ably put an end to the populietic scheme to wreck one of the principal railroads out there. This is an ad ditional indication that Kansas is com ing to her senses and getting ready to Win back the creditable reputation of ber former days. Till upper bouse of the legislature is to be commended for its prompt or ganization and attention to the pco . pie's business, while the action of the members of the bouse is such that should be looked upon with contempt by the people of our slate. The mem bers were sent there to legislate for the people and not for child's play. The election of a senator should not bar legislation at all. Let the legislature elect Mr. Mitchell or someone else to the United States senate when the time comes, and then let there be some work done. "DoaVr expect prosperity to come back with jump, says Major Mc Kinley'a personal organ over in Chi cago. "We won't says the Kansas City Tim, "if she enters with a glide, or a 3-o'clock'in-lhe-morning stagger; If she moses in on one leg; flay, if she even chaoses backwards on ber surcin gle, or waltzes gently forward on her ear, well welcome ber and brush the dost off the best seat in the house for ber to sit on. It don't make one dif of bitteranoe bow she comes, but the wbcnneaa of ber coming is a matter of great importance." TBS ILLITERATE IMMIGRANTS. In another column of onr paper this week appears an article npon alien rights and naages. The article is in close touch with the bill which has been sent to the conference commit tea of the senate the bill to exclude illiterate immigrants. This bill is, with or without the amendments, prob ably at good as can be bad from the present congress, and ought to be en acted. In the leading section, the bill, as it is passed by the bouse, pro poses the shutting out of all males be tween 16 and 60 years of age except those who can read and write the Eng lish or some other language, while the most important of the senate amend men Is to the bill prescribes as a test the ability to ipad and write, in some lan guage, fire lines of the United States ' Constitution. Of course, this bill shows no on friendliness to immigrants in general, bat only to illiterate immigrants. Many republicans believe that the foreign vote turned the scale to the honest money party in the recent elec tions, but if this bill bad been on the ' statute book for tbe past twenty years it would not have diminished tbe sound money vote in any state in any disoernable degree, nor would it have hurt tbe other side much. Most of . . those whom it would keep out are the most ignorant of tbe Poles, Italians, Xussisns and Turks, and Asiatics of the last two named races. Compare' tively few of these immigrants ever take tbe trouble to get naturalized. There is an obvious advantage in ' having a definite educational lest pre- - scribed by law, like that which the senate amendment prescribes. It sim plifies tbe work of the inspection of- V; fleers, and makes the requirement in a general way uniform. Tbe require ment is not difficult, and those who eannut meet it with tbe latitude as to langusge which the bill allows would bardly be desirable citizens. The large majority which (he bill obtained in each noose shows that men of all parties are aroused to the importance ' of interposing barriers against the in coming current of ignorant aliens. The difference between the two houses On the measure, which are only in matters of detail, ought to be quickly harmonized and tbe bill sent to tbe j resident. I THE LEGISLATURE. " Latest from Saleiu. Salim, Jan. 14 8:45 a. tn. Republic in caucus tills morning selected Benson for speaker of th bouse. SALCM.Jan. H.10:&0 a, m.Tli house assembled at 10 o'clock. Th popullats hold up continue!. Sai.sk, Jan. 14 11:15 a. m. Th senut adjourned nmil Monday afternoon at 9 o'clock. 8alsh, Jan. 13 Perhaps th tuoat dis graceful scene ever witnessed in any legie laity assembly sure tbat of Oregon were Uiuae that were enacted In th nous of representatives last Momluy and Tuesday By a ahrewd scheme the Konrns-ciimun faction secured the temporary organisation of the bouse and elected on of their nvim ber temporary speaker aud Ralph Moody temporary clerk. On niotiou of Tbouias, a coinniiUc of fiv on credentials was ap pointed and the speaker ignored all rules of parliamentary law and precedent and ap pointed a committee, a majority of whom were populista, with Barkley as chairman, Mr. Thomas being th : last member designated on the committee. Under the constitution the election ofs senator canuot take place until the second Tuesday after the organisation ot th I we houses. Mr. Bourne Is s candidate for sneaker of the noose and Mr. Barkley is his able lieutenant, so that, evidently, tn order to tore Senator Mitchell's friends to support Bourne tor speaker the credentials committee refused to make a report so that the house organisstion could not be com pleted, nd Immediately npon the retire ment of tbs committee the populists and democrats, together with seven oi the Simon republicans from . Multnomah county, absented themselves from the boa? in order to break a quorum. Tbe committee on credentials refused to report, and all attempts to bsve the committee dis charged and a new one appointed proved futile, for every time a motion was made to proceed to business Populist U'Ren would raise the point of order that there was no quorum present, and the chair would sus tain the point of order. U'Ren himself would not answer to a call of tbe house, bat seemed left there by the populist fac tion to see tbat business did not proceed. Then were thirty-one republicans in the house, some of them old farmers, pleading with the populists to not block business by j absenting themselves, but all in vain. The populists bad twenty-three voles, or three more than enough to break a quorum, and they lost no opportunity to do it They stood about tbe lobby of the capital build ing and refused to answer to roll rail, while there was no sergeantat-arms to bring them in, tbs temporary Speaker contending that bs could not entertain a motion to appoint a sergeant-at-arms becaase th bouse was not organized and could not organize until the credentials committee reported, so it would be known who were and who were not entitled to seats. Thus things dragged along all day Mon day and Tuesday, the populists thwarting every attempt to proceed with business. Developments here only prove what s number of people have believed for some time, that Joseph Binion and Jonathan Bourne have pooled issues and the two to gether bsve entered into a coalition with the populists. Tbat this statement is ab solutely correct would not be doubled by anyone who could witness the hobnobbing between Bourne, Simon and the populist members. The flimon republicans and populist are determined to elect Bourne speaker at any cost, and in return to Simon for this support Bourne and his followers are to -prevent tbe organization of tbe house tn order to put the election of sens- tor off so that Simon, Corbett et ai may have more time toorganize tbeir opposition to Senator Mitchell. Mitchell and hit friends are urging a senatorial csncus, snd it will probably be held Thursday. There are forty-seven names to the call snd tbe way matters now stand Mitchell's election is certain. Simon knowa this and schemes with tbe populists for further time to tnwart tbe will of the people. Tbere is no indication that the boose will be organized before Thursday, as the populists simply laugh at the thirty-one republicans who are on hand and anxious to transact business. It is apparent to all that Simon intends, if possible, to compel Mitchell to support Bourne for speaker in order to use such fact against Mitchell. Tbe condition prevailing is disgraceful in the extreme, and the populis's, who never miss sn opportunity to howl for economy (before election), are, by tbeir actions in blocking legislation, costing tbe state thous ands of dollars, and they simply defy tbe state of Oregon to help itself. bhixh, Jan. 13. The house of repre sentatives wss called to order promptly at 10 o'clock by tempomy speaker Davis, but upon a call of the bouse it wss found tbat tbs hold op wss still on, tbe populists, ei cept U'Ren sod all tbe democrats being ab sent. U'Ren, as secretary of tbs com mittee on credentials, stated that his com mittee bad finished its report some time previous, but they now discovered that It was necessary to change it, and therefore desired to re-write the report, which be proceeded to do. The populist members now positively as sert tbat Senator Mitchell's friends must agree to support Bourne for speaker before tney will allow the bouse to organize, snd the 8imoa republicans stand by this move ment, believing tbat such action on tbe part of the Mitchell men would cast dis credit npon the senator and thereby lose him much support. One thing is ceriain, under the canstitn- tion if the bouse does not organize by Friday the members cannot draw pay for tbeir services. This, it is believed, will force many members who are standing out to come in in order to draw pay from tbe state. - Some of those who have stood ont are conscientious in the matter, saying they did not realize what they bad done, but bad simply been led by tbe leaders of their popnlist silles. Bourne and his followers claim that Mitchell agreed to stand by the former for speaker, but tbis is diepnten emphatically by the senator. The populits stand around the lobby and refuse to take their seats nn-1 less Bourne is made speaker, snd there tbe matter stands. A senatorial ciucus is to be held to-mor row at 2 o'clock. Tbe call was signed by 47 members including Merrill, of Coluni bia county, and four out of the fivs mem-1 ber from. Washington, Patterson, Joint senator for Columbia, being the only one of tbe delegation from the counties com prising bis distiict, refusing to sign tbe ' call. At tbis writing there Is no Indication tbat l!i hold-up will b brought to a close or when. Tbe hold-up costs tbe state In tlie expense of th house alone tbe sum of; GRASS AND CLOVER VEGETABLE & FLOWER SEEDS 5end for Fully Illustrated Catalog, 1 Large Stock, Low Prices, Mall Orders Solicited and Satisfaction Guaranteed, , Buell Lamberson iSo and i8 Front Street, Corner Yamhill, Portland, Oregon JLULUJ-LUtf J.J-JIJlllJUaJUttMSBSSW $2,000 per day. This is another streak of lopulisl economy. Besides th loss by in action by the bouse, it virtually blocks bul- ness in t he senate, as the joint committees of the two houses cannnot go to work on matters that might be brought before them Tbe senate has already appointed its com miltee and they have nothing to do until the house appointments are made. A mini ber of bills have already been Introduced in tbs senate, but the house at best will be a long way behind In its work. J. R. B. THE RIGHT TO VOTE. Outline of What Commutes that - Privilege. : Sr. Husks, Jsn. 9, 13S7. Editors Mist: Tbadefectlve laws of this aud other states which grant to foreigners th right of franchise, and to bold otlloe after a few month's residence iu tbe United States witbont having a due conception of its Isws and the abuse of them in tbe Jun and November elections in this state, has, to some extent, opened th eyes ot the peo ple, causing them to inquire how and by what means these defects ran be obviated. The proposed registry Isw which Mr. S. W, Bingham, of Portland, will submit loth legislature, is a step in the right direction, and should be passed without a dissenting vote. Now, the question arises, whst consti tutes tbe right to voteT I shall, in this ar ticle, as briefly as possible, attempt to ans wer the question. W find that all unman rights sre natural or acquired. They must either reside in the individual, eo-aqual with his life and tbe varied faculties of bis nature, or become delegated to him by concession, by com promise, or by some specific compact to which he is a legitimate party. Natural rights are absolute and ioalieusble; they rely npon no presumptions of an arbitrary ihttracter. but are rally prescribed and or dained with the existence of man. Whether exercised or not, a man cannot, by any law. be divested ot tbeir proper and positive possission. They may be yielded to the un lawful encroachments of other men, bnt the concession is merely temporary and cannot be considered to invalidate tbs in dividual privilege ol resuming tbeir exer cise at such times as bs may think proper. All men, says tbs Declaration of Inde pendence, are born frea and equal; tbey possess certain inalienable rights, such as life, liberty, and the pursut of happiness. These ar natural endowments, and by no lawful process can they be taken from them. Cheae inheritances these fonr belong to I us by nature. Wherever a bumsn being is found these rights of necessity exist. Ac quired rights exist by a different tenure. fhey hold their title either by concession. by compromise or by compact. Certain limits bind them, beyond which their pro gress is forbidden. Tbey are described with accuracy, and secured by due process of law. Of such are tbe privileges of tbe subject or the citizen. The former boids bis by a kingly concession or compromise, the Utter enjoys his by virtue of bis com pact with the general authority of which he to a component part. It is of the ac quired rights of tbs citizens and how an alien may have those rights, and what qualifications ars necessary to attain them, tbat I prapose to deal with in this article. Under our government no man is a sub ject, all men ars citizens because it is acknowledged that the government, deriv ing its existence primarily fsom tbe indi vidual, is superior in itself to its origin. A citizen is in no means a subjecs, nor ran a subject be a citizen. Therefore citizenship implies do o rdinary privileges. It connects the msn with all the operations of tbe laws and all public in stitutions, and associates him in close rela tionship with that which belongs to tbe common welfare. It broadens and ex pands the sphere of individual sentiment and action, makes man unselfish and gen erous in his conduct and views, so that while a man may at th same time be true to bis own Interests, he will not be forgetful or tbe vast interests of tbe whole. It be longs only to institutions tbat are demo cratic snd to states of society in which men ars tbe arbiters of tbeir own rights and for tunes, tor me possession or sucti prerog atives there certainly should be rigid and absolute qualifications. To be a citizen of the United Btate is to put one's self in di rect relationship with the moral and social interests of a gnat nation, and to be en titled to tbat privilege there should be intelligence and a knowledge of tbe laws which govern its citizens, and an under standing of the duties appertaining to tbe general compact. xneougin or an governments Is proper ty, and the manner In which that property is held determines its form. If the lands in a community have but one possessor, it is an autocracy; if tne inherent right of the whole people this forms a democracy. The commonwealth, tben, represents, not only tbe form but the basis of government. Man is entitled to sustenance and protec tion from that society which nsture places bim at birth. Sometimes to better bis con dition be forsakes one country far another. What relation, tben, do his acquired privi leges bear to the rights of tbe new society 7 Because ne bas forsaken tbs land of his birth, is the land of bis adoption compelled by any law, human or divine, to place bim on a perfect equality with her own citizens? By tbe political constitution of tbs new so ciety be may enjoy sll their privileges, but, in tbe nstnre ot things, he has not, and never can bave such a right to tbem as the sons of tbe soil. What then, gives the right to votef 1 bsve shown the right to hold property is universal; therefore tbe right of suffrage must be universal. But to define this in regaid to men who have not a born right tn tbe country, but simply by permission or tolerence. Tbe government tskes cog nizance of the entire property of the coun try, tbat is to say, lbs Isnd and tbe prod- art belong to the sons of the soil. Strang- ers arriving In their midst receive as a gift certain portion of tbat which is the right only of tbe native-born. Is it logical to as sert that this gift carries with it the riirht to vote, or, in other words, to legislate for those, who bave just granted what is in their power to refuse? Such an argument is monstrous, yet it is on w bar Con stsntlv asserted. Tbe entr body of immigrants to tbis I country lor many years past, with out tew xoeptions, never exerted th slightot con trol over any government whatsoever, be ing of th pauper or peasant class, having no idea ot what constitutes a democracy, without the ability to read or write, not capable of governing themselves, not hav ing a due conception ot the laws and con stiution. and lastly of a very nnaesirable class, sre we then, to be told by th friends of foreign immigration that such classes of men can appreciate and properly wield the electoral power In a oounlry like this, ths political constitution of which it so diffi cult to understand. Besides, Is ths moral character of these immigrants such that will secure our fre institutions from dan ger and to remove any fears of the as to which they will put this novel power? The rule of Altgeld and tbs Kaymarket riot tn Chicago, and th assassination of th mayor of New Orleans answers Ibe ques tion. There is no principle iu the constitution which guarantees land or political power, by vote or otherwise, to foreign citizens. Europe disgorges ber surplus population the people she is glad to lose upon our shore. They arrive iu form of pauper, immigrate to some state like Oregon, where, by declaring their Intention to become citi zens, residing on year in tbe state tbey have tbs right to vote, and thus, to a cer tain extent, control tbe elections. These hordes of paupers who yearly crowd our shores seek, not only to obtain a voice In making the laws, but a certainty of life and personal freedom and immunity from mili tary duty thsy never before enjoyed. Tbey, like the adder, warmed into life by the peasant, get prosperous and turn on their benefactor. They raise tumult snd discord, ncourag socialism and a disregard for law and order, and readily play Into ths hands of dishonest politicians to further their own ends. An ignorant and degraded cltlsen 'can only be a bad citizen, and a bad citizen is worse than none. What, tben, ihould be those qualifications which grant th right of suffrage to foreigner T This is tne of the saost important questions tbst concern the people of th United States today; more important than tbe tariff or sliver question. In tbe first place a knowledge of reading and writing and to be abl to writ at least fiv lines of t'ae constitution, s knowledge of th principle and workings of our constitutions! government; thirdly, a residence in tbe United Btate of ten years, and in the state three yean before becom ing a citizen. Unless the elector has a dear apprehension as wati of the character as of the workings of the institutions under which be Urea, It can hardly be supposed of bim that he is capable of ezercislng tbe electoral franchise. Such ar the people flocking to our shores yearly by tens of thousands, and admitted, even welcomed to tbe privileges of citizenship. Daring tbs past five years there has been a steady 1m migration at the rate of fonr hundred thousind persons a year, or about one tbonsand esch day. Out of - each thousand at least 175 are voters. The great mass of the people are ignorant, superstitious, lawless and poverty stricken. Tbey corns to the ballot box side by side with those who have, from their youth, a perfect familiarity with and respect for free institutions. With no knowledge of tbe constitution, they never intrrest themselves to understand its meaning. It is time this threatening danger, be averted. Unless efficient and timely safeguards sre interposed by vigilant watchmen of free dom there is danger that tbe very founda tions of tbe public may be shaken snd fall It is Urns tbat ths legislatures of tbe sev eral slates anieud their constitutions In re gard to this question, and congress should psss rigid laws in tbis connection. Let ths Oregon legislature pass tbe proposed regis try Isw, as samltted by Mr. Bingham, and make a record for itself and members upon this Important question. O. A. Haub. ST. HELENS SCHOOL. NOTES. Miss Msy Whitney was absent from school Monday on account of sickness. Daring vacation much needed repairing wss done on tbs blackboards which greatly Improve them. Attendance bas not been as good this week as last on account of some of tbe pu pils having th grippe. Our readsrs will please notice In last week's Mis ths correction in answer to tbe question "Who founded St. Helens, and bow did it derive its ututt." by Mr, Merrill, of Deer bland. W are glad to bars tbe srror corrected, and wish to thank Mr. Merrill for his kindness. Ths question of building a new schoo- bouse this spring Is agitating ths minds of the people at present. We hope tbat sncb will be done, as nothing so builds up a place, and makes a community a desirable place to live in as a good school and tbat is only possible wbere there is room to ac commodate all that attend. Let St. Helens erect a new school build. ing and a court bouse that will be a credit to ths town and county, snd then will she forge to the front as one of the most pros perous and live little towns in tbe state. Hh needs those two things, and ought to bave tbem. Tbey mnst come sooner or later, and oow, while It is possible is tbe time to take active steps In tbat direction. ASTSWZSS TO (JDSSTIOltS. 1.
