As now constituted the republicans ml ilemocrsts re'ltearly evenly divided wltb the popu lism holding tbe balance of power. The democrats and popullcts are thus able to dictate legislation ai well as to secure Im portant places on committees. All the va cancies re now filled except the one from Oregon and then. lll be no change In the political complexion in the senate until fter the close of the next session, so It U certain that Oregon will hve to be contented with one senator for the next two veare unless the legislature should meet and elect one. as there Is little likelihood ot the democrats or populists surrendering the important adnta they now hold over the republicans in the senate.

Th first definite step has been taken toward annexing the Hawaiian islands to k. r,,itH Riip in the submission to the senate of a treaty signed by commissioners from the Hawaiian government and Secre tary ot State Sherman for the United States. It provides for the annexation of the islands without ny reservation at all leav ing the future management and govern ment of Hawaii entirely In the hands of congress. The United States is to be given II lands and public property belonging to the Hawaiian government and in return is to assume the public debt of that nation not to exceed $4,000,000. It prohibit the further immigration into Hawaii of ny more Chinese except as provided for under the laws of the United States, and the Chinese now on the islands are prohibited fmn, returnin? to the United States. In aubmitting this treaty President McKinley baa put the Hawaiian annexation up to the point -where President Harrison had it when he went out of office and Cleveland came in and withdrew it and prevented its consideration. There will be no speciil effort made to bring about its adoption in this session, the intention of the annexationists being to merely gel it on the calendar where It will be called up at the convening of congress this winter, they hoping in the meantime to overcome any opposition that may de velop against annexation. So far the only opposition to annexation oi the islands has come from the sugar trust and Spreckles the California sugar king, who would pre fer that the islands remain as thev are so that thev con monopolize the sugar trade of the United States. Another faction, mostly lound in the East, is those cautious souls who fear that the Ui.ited States is liable to become too large for its sfety. But as they are the descendant of those pessimists who opposed the Florida and Louisiana purchsbes, the annexation of Texas and California, and the purchase of Alaska, their views are not held to be of much value by the great mass of American nnnl vim m in the annexation of the r ' Hawaii islands the acquisation of a terri tory that proportionally, will be as valuable as any of the lands acquired by the United Rmtoa anil m'hi-h will be the means of greatly adding to our national wealth and strength. The Entikphibx has been censured for Its strictures upon the manner In which the East Side Railway Company has dealt with the people of Oregon City and its etlorte to mononoliie the transportation business be tween this city and Portland. The Entii ratsi believes In fair competition and the rUtht ol any individual or corporation to push their business to the utmost limit, so lone as 11 is done legitimately and no unfair advantage is taken ol the public or rivals Rut when, as in the case of the East Mile Railway Company, an individual or cor poration seeks to jeopardize the proserity and welfare of Oregon City the ENTinPRtt will protest and do it with a will too. Had the Oregon City Transportation Company, or ih irnnmwirtjitinn line that center in this city, attempted to have gained the ex elusive control of the passenger and freight tratrlo ot Orecon City, they would have been exposed quite as readily as was the effort of the East Side Railway Company. The growth and prosperity of Oregon City make it imperative that this city have the best and the cheapest transportation faill ties possible and any combination -that seeks to build op a monopoly at the ex pense of these advantages is a public enemy to the people of our city. In its franchise and other favor received the East Side Railway Company has had princely gift from the people of Oregon City and It should be content to enjoy these favor and confine its attention to its road and leave the Willamette river free to whoever desire to navigate it. CHAM) ARM.T OF THE KKITIIMC Officer Klertrd nt the Annual Knrniii miiil at Independence ltst Week, As yet the only person or nation that has filed a protest against the Hawaiian annex ation treaty is ex-Queen IJIioukalanl who demands that she be given an annuity Tor surrendering her right to the Hawaiian throne. As ber old-time friend President Cleveland is now practicing law it is thought tbat the dusky island queen will have him represent her case before the senate when it comes up for consideration. He ought to make a good couuset for he is fully conversant with ber claim by reason of bis former eflorts in her behalf. I Th spirit of American journalism wa illustrated last week when the Junction City Times plant was unceremoniously thrown into the street to escape a lire that consumed its office building. Within two hours Editor Morehead had bis scattered material together and installed in a new office and despite the "pi" and chaos he had to contend with, he brought the Times out only one day late. While the public schools of Oregon City have averaged nu well with those of other towns of Its sue in this state yet they have not been what the wealth and popu lation of this city would sustain and merit. When it is remembered that all the educa tion tbat 85 per cent of our boys and girls ever aet. is that had in the common schools, is the importance of our public schools fully realized. That they should be made a near perfect as possible is an imperative demand for with the new conditions tbat have come with the growth of our times, a fair degree of education is a necessity to every person. The common laborer requir ing to be educated quite as much as do those in the other vocations, for a higher order of intelligence is demanded in every line of industry nowadays. That the school board of Oregon City should realize this need for better educational facilities for our youth is a compliment to the progress ive spirit that animates their motives. In providing for a city superintendent and securing the splendid corps of teachers that they have engaged for the ensuing school year, they have made it possible for the schools of Oregon City to be the equal of the beet city schools fn the country and well worthy of the wealthiest and most pro gressive town for its size on the Pacific coast. Our people now have the assurance that the time is near at hand when the boys and girls of Oregon City w ill be fitted with such an education in our public schools as will enable them to enter the competition of life even-handed and well equipped for whatever duties that they may be called upon to fulfill. Baptist Semicentennial. The Oregon City Baptist church will hold its Semi-Centennial celebration in July. The church was organized 60 years ago on the Fourth of July. Cir cumstances are such that it is not ex- nedient to have the celebration at that , . - . time and so Saturday and Sunday, July 17th and 18th, will be thua observed by the churcb. At this time, the time of the Chautauqua gathering at Gladstone Park, the church will have the beneht of some of the noted Baptists who are to be among the speakers at that assembly. The gathering Saturday will be on the Chautauqua grounds. In addition to the regular programme it is intendtdtohave a basket picnic for the Baptists, arranged for on some Dart of the grounds where a pleasant social time can be enjoyed. In the afternoon after an address by Miss Ackerman, the world-round traveler of the W. C. T. U. who, by the way, is a Baptist, there will be a special service with an adJress by Chapiain Bateman, on th history of the Baptists in the political life of our country. Sunday the services will all be in the church. In the morning Rev. A. V. Lamar, D. D., the noted Southern orator, will preach. At 6 P. M . there will be a renuion of the members and friends, and special ad dresses by some of the old pioneers and members. It is expected that General Missionary Latourette. of California.will be present and give a special address at this time. There is a general invitation to these exercises and it is hoped that many of the Baptists of Portland and vicinity will avail themselves of the low rates ot Chautauqua and meet with the Oregon City church in these gatherings. It will he s. eood time for Baptists to come together and get better acquainted. M. L. Rugg.
