The past week was beatiful enough in its bright sunshine, and its bland air, to make even a miser feel like a wandering loet; that there are moments when the worship of the golden sunshine is tetter than the idolitry of the golden calf. The mornings have been cool, until the sun burned away the mists from the mountain tops, and after that until the evening shades followed sunset, :tlie tcene was fine enongh to even make .speculators in real estate regretfully re - Sect that they could buy in fee simple ' the splendor of God that sat upon the kills or in the rosy signals of the clouds .that went sailing by. To the eye that is .fascinated by a large outlook of varied natural beauty, we question whether this continent affords a finer opportunity for gratification than could be found on the hills around Oregon City last Sun .day. Bunding on the ridge above Sunset City," or in the vicinity of Ely, tne could command a magnificient view of the symmetrical snow-clad cone of St. Helen, with Rainier peeping over her shoulder, the broken spearhead of Mount Adams, the grand form and face of Mount Hood outlined against the sky, the green fir-clad foot hills at their feet, and the silver water of the Willamette that, wandering slowly, "stretch away with full deep breast serene." All these form a picture that will live in memory long after the autumn hues are gone. Surely another week like the past would stimulate immigration to Oregon better than a thousand circulars for when the gray veil of smoke is lifted from the iace of our noble mountains and the sun fills with its fullebt light all the bills of our Jerueulem, then every hill-bred man feels his heart go out to Oregon as a place where be would like to stay, and where a man really wants to stay be generally manages to make a living. Of course a man who has the wolf to keep from the door, even if he has a poetic sensibility to natural beauty, cannot feed on the stuff of which dreams are made. If he must delve he cannot stop to dream ; and yet men who delve always like to dream if they have earned the right to dream. But we cannot hope for many more such weeks as the past; for winter, while he comes with indolent tread in Oregon, has something of the lion in its existence, and so we must make the most of our fine autumn while we have it; and walk our bills and enjoy these best days when the fireB of autumn glow with the hectic flush of a consumptive cheek. 4,Ay, thou art welcome, heaven's delicious breath, When woods begin to wear the crimson leaf, And suns grow meek, and the meek suns grow brief; A iid the year smiles as it draws near its death." seems, still it is no leu true that the ordinary American ciliten is well nigh utterly indifferent to that powerful inlluence which inspires the soldier and sways a nation's fate; the magic, power and magnetism of song. Our national hymns have no equal in the nations of the world for inspiration, yet tho pro gressive United Slates cltlaen has no time for the so-called trivial memorising of these immortal songs Observe even in our great national assemblies where patriotixtu dominates and controls, strain of such inspiring songs "America" is scarcely ever resorted to, or if indeed it Is, utter failure in its rendi tiou is too often the result. I daro say out of our 460 honorable Congressmen sitting in venerable assemblage, scarcely one among them is able to dictate th lines of "America," to say nothing ot the tens ot thousand others no less hon orable entrusted with the affairs ot our states, and of the 70,000,000 citiiens of our country, no better commendation can be given, and yet no nation affords belter talent, more cheerful hearts, or more favorable circumstances for direct opposition to this national plight In time of war as in peace the condition remains approximately the same. To account for this seeming lack ot pa triotism is foreign to the mere observance of the existing order and an opportunity is here presented to such as may be so inclined to investigate the cause of the deplorable reality and likewise provide a remedy.

Strange and remarkable as it Tni death ot Fanny Davenport (Mrs Melbourne McDowell) which occurred at her summer home, Melbourne Hall Duxbury Mass., removes fiom the world one of the greatest exponents ot dra matic art. She ranked second to note in Shakespearian roles, and by critics, was considered a close rival to Sarah Sernhaidt, the world renowned queen of tragedy. Less than two years ago Davenport appeared at the Marquam Grand, Portland, in "Gismooda," Sax- dou s celebrated play and the reception that she received for surpassed anything of the kind" ever giyen an actress in that city. She bad previously announced that it would be her last appearance In any of Sardou's plays and standing room was at a premium. Those who witnessed the production can always remember her a "Duchess Giamonda, of Athens, Thi dowager empress has practically dethroned the emperor of China. All power being now in her bands. This will stop all reform that the emperor was inaugurating and is supposed to have been brought about to defeat the mission of the Marquia Ito who was at Peking trying to make an offensive and defensive alliance between China and Japan. The influence of Russia will be increased while England's interests will suffer by the change. Li Hung Chung will doubtless regain bis power. It is an important epoch in the history of China and is one of the many marks indicating the great change going on in that country. The spirit of progress is working in the remotest corners of the earth and while it may be checked for a time, each struggle gives it a firmer grasp on the destines of mankind. Tng promptness with which the legis lature organized argues well for what may be accomplished by the legislature. It seems to be the desire of all parties to do away with all needless strife and pass needed legislation. The fight was sharp on organization but the vanquished ac quired in the result with no disposition to engage in the wrangling that has characterized the paBt sessions. If the question of senator can be disposed of in the same harmonious manner it can ad journ with credit to itself, but the indi cations are that considerable needed legislation will be passed at the special session. THE N OF THE WEEK Friday, September, 23. The emperor of China is reported dead, but the report is tiot confirmed, 'The emperor has formally resigned all power to the empress dowager. China has ceded Port Arthur and Tallen Wan and adjai-ent territory to Russia. It is claimed that the Insurgents at Manila want pay to keep from making trouble. The evacuation ot the troops in Cuba is being insisted on before taking up the other details. Santiago cuiustoma amount to f 100,000 since the surrender.

So tar as the foregoing is Intended to Imply or intiuute that 1 took any puit or endeavored to uso any Inlluence with any senator to prevent the sclinltmioif of Mr. Corbett, or to Influence votes upon that matter ft Is without foundation whatever, I did not communicate with a single senator concerning the merit of Mr. Cornell's right to admission, nor for the purpose of influencing his vote either way. Mr. Corhelt's right to be admitted depended upon the construc tion of the constitution and tho precedents established by the United States senate. If any one not a member ot that body and who had not studied the questions Involved, nor read how the authorities had attempted to instruct United States senators In the discbarge of theli sworn duty, It would have been a piece of unusual Imperil nence and probably rebuked aa It would have deserved to be. In the same editorial, you aay : "An unpleasant story is floating around which can hardly be believed, but which it may be well enough to notice by way ot warning.

The Following Letter Was Published In the Hlllshnro Independent. "The Oregonian of Sunday last In a leading article on the first page discuss ing the coming senatorial election, con tained some statements in reference to Congressman Tongue, which the gentle man denies. On Monday he sent to tlie Oregonian the following letter: & "The Oregonian of yesterday in a lead ing article upon the coming sen atorial election contained references to myself wholly unwarranted, referring to the action of the United States senate in declining to admit Mr. Corbett upon the appointment of Mr. Lord you make the following statement: "Fx-8cnator Mitchell left no stone un turned to prevent Mr. Corbett being self, it is untrue in every particular. have not met nor conlerred upon any question with the gentleman named. Who the "one other is," It Is lniossiblo to say, but I have not met personally, nor held any communication with a part of the gentlemen named since returning to Oregon. Have not conferred wilb any one upon any plan to prevent the organization of the legislature on Its opening day, or at any other time. Have beard no such plan. Nothing of the kind has ever been suggested. I have heard of no conference between anybody upon such a subject and certainly have taken part in none. Should the legis lature adjourn upon the first day of Its meeting and deter the work until Its regular session, the State could possibly survive the calamity. Oregon has not usually suffered from a dearth of legists' Uon. But I certainly hope to see this legislature either at the special or regular session act with reasonable promptness in the election of a United States sens tor. I hope to see It elect some gentle man who is competent to discharge the duties of that important position with dignity and honor, who will be a credit to the State, who will attain the position by clean methods and whose election will not be regarded as a factional triumph but will secure to the republi can party of Oregon some degree of that harmony and peace of which it la so much in need. That done, "Let us have peace" But, Mr. Editor, let me suggest, that the election of any candidate will not be aided by misrepresenting the at titude or views or actions ot public men, nor by dragging into the senatorial con troversy men who are taking no part in it.
