It annears inat now that Secretary
Kincaid ia the moat important official
in the state. He ref uees to iasue war
ranti on any of the several funda for
carrying ou state business except hit
wn salary and s few other items.
Mr. Kincaid, in point of importance, ia
all that the word implies.
I the opinion of the Oregonian the
nt nf th United States is a degen
erate body composed of men of low
morale. What effect, pie, will the
sending of the mn who corrupted the
Oregon legislature have upon the mor
als of that "degenerate bt.dyt Will
the influence of a man like Mr. Cor-
bett have a tendency to raise me
standard of the senate's morals? The
nnnia.it- tn ba eouaiateot. should
cease its attacks upon the senate of
the United Slates oenceiorio.
Th people of Columbia couoty may
some day exercise better judgment in
selecting men for public positions than
bas been done in some instances in
the past. A public position should
never be given any man for the mere
purpose of helping hina along finan
cially, fitness for the position to be
filled should be the only consideration
in filling public places. , There are
plenty of honest capable men to fill
all publio positions, and the exercise
of business judgment will elect only
reliable men as servants of the people.
Cohgkess assembled in extraordi
nary session last Monday, having been
called together by President McKinley
for tbe especial purpose, of revenue
legislation. All parties seem to agree
that something should be done to raise
sufficient revenue to defray running
expenses of the government, but as
usual there is some difference of opin
ion as to just how that reveuue should
be raised. The extra session is called
for a specs! purpose and consequently
no business can be transacted other
than that specified in the call, hence
a new tariff law may be looked for
soon. It is not expected, however,
that the old McKinley law will be en
acted, bnt, no doubt, the bill which
will be passed by the extra session
will increase import duties very mater
ially over tbe present schedule. The
country is ready for the change, and
the sooner the meaaure is presented to
the president for his signature the
better it will be for tbe country.
Mju CoRBrrr's credentials as sena
tor from Oregon were presented to tbe
senate by Senator McBride last Men-
day, who asked that Mr. Corbelt be
sworn in. ue was not sworn in, now-
ever, as the question was raised that
there were some irregularities con
nected with the manner in which the
appointee was chosen. Objection was
made to the oath being administered,
and Mr. Corbetl'a credentials were re
ferred to the committee on priv
ileges and elections. Much spec
ulation ia indulged in as to wheth
er or not the appointees from Flor
ida and Oregon will be seated,
and particularly in tbe case of the Ut
ter. Tbe republicans need every vote
possible to psss a tariff bill, but they
cannet entirely ignore alt former prec
edent which are adverse to the pres
ent case. Of course- there is no fixed
law governing such cases, and the ac
tion of one senate does not necessarily
bind another, but established prec
edent has great bearing, with the body
before whom tbe contest is brought.
and tbe final outcome of this ease no
one can foretell. It is safe to aay it
will not be settled veiy hastily, and
may not be decided during the extra
session.
WS BElIMVi SO, TOO.
"The lamentation that under tbe
precedent set this year at the capital,
no legislature can ever be organized,
if one-third of tbe members of either
house are resolved to prevent it, is
needless unhappiness. It may be
easily guarded against by arrange
ments as to preliminary organization.
This time the minority was allowed to
take the legal initiative. This was the
vantage ground of the "Davis bouse"
from which, in the circumstances, it
could not be ousted. In future, atten
tion will be given to the proceeding at
tbe beginning, and there will be a pro
gramme of organization. Beaides,
there never will again be party divis
ions and party conditions similar to
those of the late opening of the assem
bly. Repetition of these proceedings,
for these reasons, will not be impossi
ble. Let no one be alarmed. We
ahsll yet have legislative sessions."
Oregonian.
We believe tbat the Oregonian is
right that such elements will not again
corns together under such conditions
first, hsd the senate elected any
other member excepting Joe Simon to
preside over its deliberations, the hold
up would not have been successful.
Second, had Clerk Moody not reeog
' nixed a Simon-Bourne man in tbe
house, on tbe first day, it could not
have succeeded.
Third, bsd not a Portland capitalist
furnished about 150,000 In cash to aid
Simon and Bourne, the attempt would
certainly have failed.
Fourth, hsd Oregon's chief newspa
per been on the side of law and order,
and always been on that side, so as to
wield the influence such a newspaper
ought to have and bas in other states,
but, unfortunately, bas not in this one,
the plans would have been broken to
fragments.
Fifth, bad times not been so bard,
of the legislator! who told out
for 20W to f 5000 a head would not
have bven purchasable. Honesty in
such snairs, strange a it niay Mem,
in some individuals, tuui along pielty
close to prosperity.
butn, it would' not have occurred
had not the people of lh various ooun
tie. eleoted o many populists, under
various political guises, to represent
thorn in the legislature.
1 he list ruik-ut be extended to treat
length.
We believe, too, that "repetition ot
the proceedings, for these reaaona,
will not be possible," and that we ahall
yet have legislative aeseiona. Salem
statesman.
WHAT THEY THINK OF CORBETT
The appointment of H. W. Corbett for
United States senator by Governor Lord Is
a fitting climax to tba Or-gou disgrace and
shows to the people the powerful influence
ot mooev: how it can be used to thwart the
will of the people. Hut why was Corbett
appointed r me answer is . i "a ne
not furnish the mont-y to care for. and feed,
and wine and dine the Donulbls and furnish
them female typewriters Didn't be fur-
nun tne money wim wnicn to encourage

The Morning Oregonian was condemned
by the populists, disliked by the democrat,
despised and not wanted by the Mltchellitee.
Nevertheless, Harvey Seott succeeded ia
using the pops, defeating Mitchell and
bavins1 Henry Corbett appointed senator.
It seems that he laughs best who laughs
last. Oswego Iron worker.
Tbe question now arises, ean Mr. Corbett
be seated? Opinions differ widely.' Tbe
Statesman says: "A majority believe he
will not be. Their reasons are rood
Kbnnld the senate make it a Draetice to seat
senators in all cases where facetious legis
latures nave failed in the performance of
their functions it would be bat a short
time until the United States senate would
be composed of ninety men who could not
be elected by the people's representatives
to seals uerein. roia vouuty unserve.
The appointmeat of H. W. Corbett for
United State senator by Governor Lord is
not generally approved by the republicans
of Clackamas eountv. His appointment
is but a confirmation of the popular idea

between Governor Gibbs and John H.

- trill Not Seat Corbett.
WuHtaato, March 17. The determina
tion of the republican managera of the sen
ate not to give time to the consideration of
the cases of appointments by governors of
states was reached only after it was found
that tbe democrats were determined to i
sist the seating of tbe appointees as long as
they could talk, and that they would be
aided in this bv the silver reDublican and
tne popn lists, mere is a teeung among
manv senators who reallv believed tbat the
governors had a right to appoint in the
cases of Montana and Washington four
years ago Wat, it Harms; been settled by s
vote of the senate against admission, It is
well to make it a precedent for tbe future,
and make legislatures responsible for the
vacancies of a state in tbe senate except in
cases of death or resignation, when tbe
legislatures are not in session and appoint
ments are provided for.
One senator, discassing the Oregon case,
said that, if the Oregon appointment was
sustained, that hereafter it would be in the
power of 11 men in the atate senate, bv re
fusing to go into organization to prevent
forever the election of a senator and make
the governor the sole official to choose sen
stors. Some six years ago tbe senate in
Florida refused to vote for senator, and as
s body refused to go into joint session with
tbe bouse. Some of tbe senators went into
joint session with the b.use. a sufficient
Dumber to make a majority of the legisla
ture. They voted for Call, and be held bis
seat without a aissenttng vote.
THE FATE OF DAVIS.
Alas, poor Davis I His bouse eaanot ad'
joorn. Without a quorum It can bnt ad
journ from day to dsy, and a quorum will
never come.
Some members adopted a resolution to
dissolve, but what of that? There was no
quorum and the adoption of tbe resolution
was Illegal. The Daris house cannot ad
journ. Davis has gone home, haunted with the
consciousness that bis bouse has net ad
journed. In bis waking hours, voices
whisper. "No quorum, no quorum," and in
hi dreams there runs the refrain, "Bayer,
Berkley, Bourne, Bridges, Bilyen," snd so
on aown ins list ot loose wno wouia and
those who would not. He awakens from
uneasy slumbers to hear tbe night shriek
"You can't sdionrn. adiourn. adioarn."
Other houses msy com snd may go, bat
tbe Davis bouse goes on forever. Ft may
resolve to dissolve, it msy scatter to the
uttermost part or tue eartu. it may bide
its hsplesss hesd from tbe sate of man. but
still tbe mighty truth rings on, "Ths Davis
bouse cannot adjourn."
There is ne escape for Davis. Thosgh be
fly to Cuba and follow the fortunes of her
struggling patriots, ins gargling wounds ot
everv Spaniard stain wilt moan. "Yon
can't adjourn." Though swift to far-off
irete ne uies ana aetps its noDie cause, yet
every ajing i urs wui curse at aim ana
cry, " Yon never can adjourn."
The song will baunt him to his last sad
hour and on tbs slab erected where he
sleeps, this tribute will appear:
Here Ueth one whom heaven nor ben can hold,
For mighty truth proclaims blm still on earth.
Yea. when this circling inhere Itself grows cold,
a u inuw DuKai mure Ji unman woe or mirtn
Bis spirit still is doomed te linger on,
Tbe last and only evidence of man.
Ask you the sin of this most wretched pawn?
au Douse ass not sajournea n or ever ean. .

Tbe following letter appeared in tbe Ore
gonian Monday:
"Pobtiato, March 8. )To the Editor.)
Will you permit me to speak briefly in your
paper on a most important matter? A reg
ular session of the Oregon legislators bss
been prevented. If this bsd been accom
plished by an armed force, It would have
oeen criminal, it it naa Deeu accomplished
by an unorganized mob it would have been
alarming. But is it anv the less criminal
snd siarming when accomplished by the
ciionen representatives 01 tne people, wno,
recreant to their duty, refused for 49 days
after the time set for the commencement of
the session, to take their oath of office and
axsist in making the required quorum in
the house? Tbe 27 populist and republican
conspirators who thus struck a treasonable
blow at our established institutions are
guilty of a most grave crime. And those
13 populists, who, by thus refusing to per
form their duty e legislators, have directly
become instrumental in the appointment of
a mouometalic national bank president as
senator from Oregon, can expect to inherit
nothing but the pity and contempt of the
npie. Ana let me say in conclusion mat
is citixena of Oregon, of all nartiaa fail
in rebuking this first step toward the over
turning of our civil government, already
taken, then, indeed, will our free institu
tions be destroyed and liberty will be lost.

WHERE IS NEWKliIi?
The question of tbs shortage of C. H.
Newell, school clerk for tbe BU Helens dis
trict, and his absence from his home sines
tbs tacts became known baa been ths tonic
of conversation for tbe psat tan days.
Newell disappeared en Monday night of
last wees ana ntts nm sinuv vwvu umm
from. The school board on the following
Thursday bad a warrant issued tor bis ar
rest and Constable Kobinson made an at
tempt to arrest the fugitive but waa net
successful. Ths matter is now in the hands
of Portland detectives, bowever, ana some
new developments may be looked for soen.
For the year beginning March , 18U8,
Newell was not under bonds, for the reason
that he refused to give a new bond, claim
ing that as he was re-elected his old bend
held over. The school board did not push
the matter and demand a new bond as re-
auired bv law, and in consequence are utt
er obligation to the district to the amount
of the shortage which occurred during the
year lHWi. which will probably reach 958.
For the year 1HU5 Newell gave a bond and
tbe shortage during that year appears to
be something over fc!00, which amoant will,
no doubt, be made good to tbe district.
It had bees surmised for several months
that there waa something wrong with the
school clerk's sccounts, for in one or mors
instances warrauts bsd been paid out of
their regular order aud when warrants of
prior date were presented there was no
money to redeem them. Tbe school board
called a special meeting to look into the
matter, but when the meeting was held
Newell msde the excuse tbat be bad sot
had time to check op his books. A second
meeting was called and Newell summoned
to appear with bis books, but be ignored
the meeting and did not appear. There
tbe matter rested until the annual school
meeting on the first of this month, when
he was re-elected. At this meeting a
sneciai committee waa srJDointed to sz-
amtns into tne sccounts ot ins ciers, out
.. .... . ....
he again stated tbat be had not his vouch
ers with him and thus ths committee's
work was delayed a few days. -What
became of the monev Newell is
ebsrged with having embessled is s ques
tion. He bss not lived eztravsgant and
bas apparently been doing a fair amount
of business in bis grocery store. But the
Columbia "bank ' of which be bad the
honor of attaching bis nsme sa "cashier."
ia also closed ud on attachment to secure
deposits, and this bsnk business hss proba-
oiy got miu up wwn miv bcuooi ulsinct.
The bank, bowever. did not do much busi
ness as there seemed to be s general lack of
conbdence tn the concern tor reasons toai
ought to be apparent to all observers.
If Newell should be arrested and punished
it would be out of tbe usual order of things
in this couaty, for in the light of past his
tory, very few persons are punished for
crime, and indeed it is seldom that a fugi
tive is arrested after be passes the bound
ary line of tbe county. To the everlasting
shame of the county our laws are violated
and the guilty parties go on their way re
ducing, ouciciy ueuiauus m tnis state aw
things should not continue snd that every
effort should be made to punish those who
transgress tbs law.
