umv to KT.M'r A REPUBLIC AS SESATOR
FROM OR EGOS.
The editor of the Oregonian continues to he perturbed
over the senatorial situation.
so great that it means the editor of that .journal is a ran
didate. Nothing hut most selfish ambition eould cause
one to desire that the legislators chosen hy the people
should violate their pledges, forsake their honor, and be
come disgraced and outcast perjurers.
' Out of sympathy for the Oregonian, if a republican
must be elected, we briefly outline the met hods by which
it may be done.
1. By coercing enough Statement No. 1 republican
members. This may be by two methods, to-wit: (a) By
threats of political enmity in the future; (b) by having
them indicted for some crime which they have been in
veighled by paid agents of the republican party. (Note
Try the badger game.)
2. By bribeiy, either with lawful money or a federal
office or future political support.
3. "Shanghai" them.
4. Assassination by several means, as follows, to-wit:
Shooting, stabbing, poisoning or dynamiting.
To the Oregonian and other newspapers who follow its
lead we commend these methods, and in the opinion of The
Tribune the fourth method is preferable, because death is
preferable to the dishonor and disgrace of a public official
betraying the people who believed his word and trusted
him. His death would leave no stain on his name, and
leuvo his family and his friends remembering him for his
worth, while his debauchery by bribery would make him
remembered always for his ignominy and treachery.
Jf we must return to the old world methods in politics
to satisfy the ambition of our would-be rulers, let us go
back to the Corsican assassin and his dagger as a means of
disposing of political rivals. In the end, it is less dan
gerous than the latter day methods of bundling, grafting
and bribery that the people have been trying to throw off.
It will corrupt less and, again, the people can retaliate.
A dagger is in the reach of every man, but sacks of gold are
in the reach of but few.
WILL INCREASE AMOUNT
OF TOKIO APPROPRIATION
TOKIO, August 12. At n meeting
or the parliament today the progressive
party introduced a bill providing for nn
Increase of the Tokio exhibition up
propuauon to iu,ouu,uiiu. Tins means
an addition of f ll,000,000 to the fund
of 5,000,00ij already provided.
Too bill ia popular and in line with
the policy of tbo progressives, who arc
dcteruiined, to nuike tlieexhibitiou the
mnat successful world' fair over held.
The fact that it is the first time nn
attempt lia beeu mudn tot hold such
un affair in the orient compels the pro
vinioD of a large sum of money to in
sure it aurress.
The interest hIiowii by other nations
in the eastern and western hemispheres
by appointing commissioners mid ur
ranging to be well represented has giv
eo continual encouragement to the pro
motors aud it ia generally believed that
the kill introduced today will be passed.

BREAKING INTO PRINT
..u TOKIO, August 1. American naval
expansion ha but one object in view
the ultimate clash with .lupim for the
mastery of the Pacific an. This is
the gist of nn interview given out to
day by Couut Okuma, formerly picsi
dent of the progressive parly and now
president of tho Was. , In university. The
count is one of the foremost educators.
.thiultera and statesmen of Japan, ami
bia remark have created a profound
aensatinn here. The count lemaiks
were directed chiefly against I'tesidcut
Knoaevelt. To said;
. "Judging from fragmentary portions
of speeches of Id osevell ns they have!
.been transmitted here, it j not difli
- cult, to infer that the auguientat ion of
the United Stale uavy in the Pacific,
ocean ia directed solely at .lupan." :
Count Okuma expressed the opinion J
iwi isr American people are not with
Kooacvelt in his alleged warlike t, n
dencies.

(Sacraineotu Bee.)
In all the talk regarding lh" need of
railroad legislation, which is real, it
i ,,oiilcl never b- forgotten that one
great necessity in good wagon roads
throughout the laud. Xearly all the
agricultural product of the ' nation
must be hauled some distance over wag
on road, and the average cost f such
hauling has been computed at 25 cents
per ton per mile, while wren-tenth of
I rent per mile is the average cost'fif.
hauling by rail.
Vet many a tanner who waxes elo
quent over railroad exactions fails to
move in the matter of better waRon
loads, although perhap hi loss be
cause of bad county highways h far
greater than hit overcharge) by rail
amount to.
Thia. of course, is no . argument
against rtiilrond regulation. Hut in
reaching out for ntttionul control of
railroads the farmers should not for
get the supreme importance of .high
way betterment at home.
