' THE SEXJTOR. George W. McBride, Oregon's new United States Senator, it a native ton of Oregon, having been born in Yamhill county in 1854. He it a ton of Dr. James McBride, who was well known as one of the earliest and sturdiest pioneer in this state. Mr. McBride wis educated in the common schools and at Willamette university. Sa lem, and the Christian collece (now the state normal school) at Monmouth. In 18B7 his parents left Yamhill county and located at St. Helens, Columbia county, which place he has made bis homester since. I n 1882 be w as elected to tbs Oregon house of representativet, and was subse quently chosen speaker of that body. In 1866 Mr. McBride was nominated by the republican! for secretary of state, and was elected. His popularity is attested by the fact that the two principal nominees on the ticket with him governor and treasurer were defeated. Mr. McBride performed th duties of his office to satisfactorily that lie was renominated bv acclamation in 1890, and re-elected by a handsome majority. He served out the full term and retired the first of the present year' to give wav to his suc cessor.' ; ' Mr. McBride comes from an old and very well-known Oregon family. His father was consul to Hawaii during Lincoln's adminis tration. He has several brothers who have achieved leading positions In the law and in medicine. One brother is Judge T. A. Mc Bride of this city. Another brother is John B McBride, formerly congressman from this state, and now a prominent lawyer or Spokane. A third, Dr. James McBride, is a leading physician in Wisconsin. FOR FREE SPEECH. The liberty of speech does not appear to be so untrammelled in this free America as manv suppose. Savannah, Georgia, has just had a big riot in which it took ten com panies of infantry and one of cavalry to keep a religious mob in subjection. The cause of the trouble was that ex-priest rjlat terly attempted to give a lecture on Catho licism. His hall was soon surrounded by a howling mob numbering thousands, and notwithstanding the efforts of the better ele ment among the Catholics a determined ef fort was made to kill the ex-priest, and it was all the police could do to bold the mob in check until the soldiers could arrive and disperse them. Whew the liberty of speech Is gone this republic is gone, and this right should be jealously guarded eveu to the shooting down oft few mobs by way of emphasizing the fact that In America a man can btve per fect freedom of speech. If be should tres pass on the rights of others the courts fur nish ample redress, and there is no occasion for resort to pistols and rocks. When we sort oar European Immigration and allow only the better element to make their homes with us our police and military force can be reduced one half and mobs and riots will be few and tar between. For it is clearly shown that too many of our foreign immigrants do not know what liberty means, and to teach them is too expensive an undertaking. Benatob McBride goes to Washington with less strings on him than any senator from Oregon ever had. He is no corpora tion man and is under no obligations to them. Of the various factions of the repub lican party he has allied himself with no one of them and has so conducted himself that he bas the support and good will of every republican in the state as well as the confidence of men of other parties. His position on the great questions of finance, tariff, internal improvements, etc., is in strict accord with the national and state platforms of the republican party and his work and vote will always be in the inter est of. the people and not for any one class. There is probably not another man in Ore gon who has (be acquaintance over the state that Senator McBride enjoys and who knowt tbe wants of all sections to well. Thxbb will be no more friction between Oregon's two senators, for Senator McBride is a man broad enough to lay aside any dif ferences of opinion and work with our sen ior senator for the common good of our SEXSUILE MEX The Kmtki'Nis( was glad to note that the menhers Imm Clackamas and Columbia counties were among the lenders In advanc ing the candidacy of Mr. Mcllrldeasa compromise mini In the late senatorial deadlock and wore very largely Instrumental in securing his election and thus preventing Oregon from loosing a senator. As Mr. Mc Bride belonged to Columbia county it fell to the lot of Representative. T. J. Cleeton, of that county, to place him In nomination, which he did In one of the best speeches of the session, explaining that lie had stood by Mr. Dolph since the caucus, hut now seeing he could not be elected, wohIiI nominate and support man on whom all could unite Mr. McBride having positively forbidden his nomination until Mr. Dolph was out of tht way, Senator Brownell had the honor of casting the tint ballot fur Mr. McBride he voting for him on the three previous ballots to and following hit nomination by Mr. Cleeton. Representative Rinearson had been anti.Polph all through the con test, and stood ready to vote for McBride so toon as he should be nominated. Repre sentative Mintie was one of tht three who voted for Mr. McBride on the ballot pro ceeding hit nomination, while Representa tive 8mlth came to Mr. McBrlde'e support when he was given the nomination. If our members had been as bull-headed as some of the other Dolph -men, Oregon would have been without a senator, lor they and the member from Columbia county turned the tide. For the information of strangers who may visit our city the Estkrmiss will state that the big brick building at tbe head of Main street with the barred doors and a bull fence around it, is not a prison or a reformatory, but is plain, every day factory, wherein woolen goods of varying qualities are manu factured. To an outsider it looks as though the Oregon City Manufacturing Co. could have restricted visitors to their mills with out treating their hands as though they were slaves or convicts, as well as to endan ger their lives. For should a tire break out with tbe outlets all closed with heavy iron gratings held by strong chains and padlocks, it would be almost Impossible for the nearly three hundred operatives to get out without some loss of life, for the building is only provided with two small fire escapes, jumping out of tbe windows would be their only alternative, and that is a dangerous way to get out of a burning building. CoxoRisa will adjourn on Monday next, when a sigh of relief will g up from the whole country. During the whole session nothing has been done to help the country out of its dire financial straits, and its vacil ating, uncertain actions only made matters worse. Tbit congress closes democratic legislation in tbit country for yean to come. The next congress to convene will be repub lican in the bouse and a tie in tbe senate, so tbe people will have to wait two lout: years before any substantial relief can be given them; tor should tht republicans, with tbe aid of a few independent demo crats, pass a relief bill Cleveland would veto it As a complete failure the fifty-third congress stands without a parallel in the history of tbe country. Stati 8t;pT. Iawiitbasgiven it as his opin ion that school districts cannot contract debts for school purposes to be paid out of the state and county apportionment for tbe succeeding year. That is, esch year's ap portionment can only be nsed for school purposes in the year for which it was made. Stipt. Gibson is also of the same opinion. Tbe matter has been submitted to Attorney General Idleman for bis decision. This is an important matter to school boards, as In many districts debts have been incurred far in excess of their apportionment with the expectation that payment could be made out of the next public funds received. If the state superintendent is sustained school districts will have to provide by a tax levy for the payment of their indebtedness. Throcoh tbe fight between the trap and wheelmen and tbe gill net fishermen no changes for the better were made in the fish laws of Oregon, and the salmon were left to fight for their lives with the chances for their early extermination very good. With but an indifferent protection to their natural spawning, and no effort for artificial propagation, at tht rate salmon are being caught each year, the time It not far distant when this great industry will cease to exist in Oregon. It looks as though Oregonlans would soon be reduced to a diet of bacon and beef, and that tbe toothsome salmon, that king of fishes, would no longer tinkle their palates. The Oregonian appears to " hoodoo" ev ery man or measure it supports, for defeat it sure to come to them. For years past the Oregonian has not supported a man or a measure but wbat it has been the indirect means of bringing defeat upon the luckless heads of its friends. 8uch harshness and bitterness as the Oregonian employs cannot help but arouse an equally bitter opposi tion and tends to ally with the opposing forces men who otherwise would remain supporters, or at least would be passive in their attitude. In a personal acquaintance extending over twelve years, the editor of this paper has found Geo. W. McBride to be a man honest and conscientious in all his dealings, both private and public, and his integrity is so high that the people of Oregon can be assured that they will have a senator who will not sell out to the highest bidder. His high sense of honor was proven in the lute senatorial contest when he would not allow bis name to he used until it was clearly proven that Mr. Dolph could not make it nor any of tbe other leading candidates. By hard work on the part of the board of trade committee the amended charter for Oregon City passed the legislature. But it came near being crowded out and rocked to sleep during tbe closing hours of the ses sion. By its liberal provisions as to street assessments there will probably be many more streets of this city Improved within tut next few years. All the changes made in the charter were good, and they cover all points so completely that there is no oc casion for any further changes fur years to come. Last Saturday night nt twelve o'clock the Oregon legislature adjourned. While It did not do the work expected of it, vet it did as much ns is ever done on a senltorul year by a legislature with but very Tew exceptions, for that contest always over shadows other work. Several very nuirliorlous measures were passed, which will be given in the Kn tkiii'Him so soon as approved by the Gov ernor, and they did themselves and the party proud by electing one of the ablest men in the state to the Vmled Stat sen ate. A part of the bad measures which were killed wll make up for the good ones they failed to past. Among the bills killed none was of more moment to state than the Portland charter, which, If passed as originally, presented would have placed wit bin two years the republican party of this state under the control or the Portland ring and lead to the defeat of tht party at tht next election. When the good It sifted from the bad the eighteenth session of the Oregon legislature will be round to average up with former ones. In tome recent experiment with the new army ritle on bullet was driven through 48 inches of pine, another penetrated oak to the depth of SO Inches, and others were tent with ease through Iron plate two thirds of an Inch thick. With these new gum war It made more dangerous than ever, for if a soldier gets lilt with one of these high speed balls he is sure to have a hoi clean through him with power enouith lelt in the ball to go through two or three men behind him. It is reported that the Oregonian will make no tight two years hence against tbe re-election of Senator Mitchell. The only fear that Mr. Mitchell's Irl. nds have la that the Oregonian will change from its long standing opposition to him to supporting him, In which case his defeat would be cer tain. Letter List.
