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

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;

$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.
