The )r. i"ti i.i n. busy in it h batlli! ngainKt poiiiilar govcriiinent, remarks: "The Oregtiiiinn will take no more ilruMiingH in the name of tile Kcpub lienn pnrly not for a while, anyhow, you may depend. Of vicarious imeri fire it hu-4 had enough." Vet the Orogoiiiun will take another drubbing, us bad as tiny in its history. and that at the next election, and take it in the name of the Kepublieau party, prohahly. Its efforts to defeat iiopu lar election of United Htates senators, to discredit Statement No. 1, the direct p'iinaiy and the initiative anil refer endum will result disastrously for it self, and for the party. The Oregonian has the happy faculty of getting on flic wrong side of popu lar isHiies. This explains its previous "drubbings." The people of Oregon are not going to surrender their rights to the reactionaries, nnd restore the reign of corporate corruption, even at the be hest of Hie Oregonian. I''or years the Oregoninn has favored the popular election of senators, yet when popular election is put into prac tice it prepares itself for a "drubbing" nt the hands of the people by favoring a rcstornti f II , regime of po litical rotleuess.

"The provision of the grant restrict ing the numher of sales have, never been respected. Lands him! been sold to any person, whether settler or spec ulator, mi as large tpinntitics as pos sible and at tho highest price possible, la making -sales the railroad company has always observed the law of supply ami demand and has never obeyed the law of congress. Substantial violations of the terms of tho grant occurred from the very beginning. "In IS!H it changed all its forms of deeds and contracts and has ever since refused to execute anything but the quit-claim form of deed, except where it had by prior contract obligated itself to do otherwHe, This is a nvost unus ual circumstance. The title of the rail road company consisted simply of a grant from the United Htates. It im mediately determined to take advantage of that opportunity, wholl yignoring the conditions of the grants and sought pro tection against responsibility for these violations of law by the adoption of the quit -claim form of conveyance. " I.ate in I!")- the railroad company adopted a new policy and permanently withdrew all of its lands from sale. There t hen remained in its hands ap proximately Mi io.Oi mi acres, most of it in violation of the terms of the grant, it resolved upon the plan of asserting an absolute, unqualified and permanent estate in the balance of grants in its own favor.
