It Is yet problematical whether tho primary nomination law will stand tho test of public approval. Judging by tho light voto cast, as compared with tho actual number of voters In tho state, It would seem that tho peo ple as a wholo do not caro as much about It as some, of Its advocates hnvo represented they did. It has undoubtedly eliminated somo of tho methods In voguo hcrctoforo In tho nomination system, nnd hfiB put bosses out of business or rendered It difficult for them, but tliero nro serious objections to tho now law nevertheless. Ono Is that It makes It very expensive for mqn to obtain a nomination, and n poor man ought to havo as good a chanco to obtain nn olllco as a rich man. It Is also oxpcnslvo to tho taxpayers. Ah to tho popular nomination ol United States ' senator, whoso selec tion the Irglnlaturo Is supposed mere ly to ratify, tho result Is what Tho Now Ago predicted, a cholco by a Hiimll plurality and a small fraction of tho Republican voto of tho state, which cannot bo properly termed really a people's choice, at lcnst not In a very largo and Imprcsslvo Henso. Whllo Mr. Cako linn apparently re ceived a small plurality and tho nom ination, Mr. Iloiirno In fact carried n far larger area and diversity of In terests of tho stato aB a wholo than Mr. Cake. Tho latter carried this largo city, and thoroforo may havo won tho nomlnntlon, but Mr. Iloiirno carried most of tho other counties of tho stnto, and about half tho delega tion from oven this county aro Bald to bo favorablo to him. Should not tho ropresontntlvcB from thoso other counties voto for tho cholco of tholr local constituents rather than for a man whom tlioy rejected nt the pollB? Wo aro not making any specific ar gument, nor moaning to flay that un der tho law this should bo dono, Ht III less Intimating that wo prefer Mr. Iloiirno to Mr. Cake, only putting tho caso abstractly and using tho result he (o theuo two men as nn Illustra tion. Of courso, If tho law Is carried out nnd Mr. Cako beats Mr. Clenrln In Juno, It will bo tho duty of niem bora of tho leglslaturrt who signed "Statement N'o. 1" to elect Mr. Cako senator, but Ih tho law In such n cnHO working satisfactorily, and Bhould candidates for tho legislature so pledge tliomsolveH? Kxccpt legally nnd technically, did "tho people" really Instruct them or mako n cholco? If u candidate for United States Honator receives say 15,000 out of 7f,000 Rcpubllcnn votes In tho Htnto, a plurality of say 100 votoB over his nenrest competitor, Is this as a matter of fact such a populor cholco by tho people as should bind tho legislature? Wo think not, nnd yet there aro good features nbout tho law which may more than offset these grounds of crltlcUm. representatives In congress as well. It Is known nnd conceded that Gov ernor Chamberlain Is a strong candi date. Ho demonstrated this four years ago, as he had before. Ho pos sesses various elements of strength that are not to bo ignored or despised' Dut slnco tho Republicans havo an excellent candldato and this Is an ovcrwholmlngly Republican state, It Is unlikely that tho governor can pull through again. If party amounts to anything voters ought to stick to their party with reference to Biich nn Im portant offico nB that of governor. In consequence of tho election of a Dem ocrat tho state now has a Democrat for United States senator, for super intendent of tho penitentiary, for game warden, and In other positions. This might well bo endured if tho Re publican candldnto wcro in any re spect unworthy, but nobody can sny this In this case Dr. WIthycombo Is an educated man, a farmer, a good business mnn, Identified with nil tho stato's interests, nnd moreover has always been n loyal Republican. Ho should bo elected nnd wo think wilt be, and that Oregon will then again show up as n solidly Republican Btatc. Rut ho .may havo to hustlo somo. Tho governor Is n good campaigner; ho now has a very wldo acquaintance In all parts of tho stato: ho has a genial personality, and asldo from too much traveling and political work, his record as governor Is unnsHiill- able So Interest will center In tho nico for this office. agination and calls not only for the sympathy, but tho liberal aid In all possible ways, which Is being afford ed by the pcoplo of the wholo coun try, and none havo acted more promptly and and generously than thoso of Oregon. San Francisco was a unlquo and particularly Interesting city, and of vast wealth, commcrco nnd business of nil kinds, nnd it was in great part wiped out of existence. But it will no doubt bo rebuilt, and beforo, tho lapse of very many yearn will rlso greater than over. An carthquako may occur thcro again at any time, but tho chances aro that tho like will not happen again for a long time, and pcoplo will tnko tho risk and tho now city will bo moro solidly and scien tifically constructed than tho old, and will be better nblo to withstand Buch sclBmlc disturbances.

AND Those who undertake to mnko par ty operations a moro clash of personal likes and dislikes, ambitions nnd Jeal ousies, loso sight entirely of tho larger facts In tho domain of politics, says tho St. Louis aiobc-Dcmocrnt. Natur al leaders arlso whoso exceptional usefulness to tho principles of n par ty glvo them, as long as they arc truo to tho right standard, an oxtcnslvo following and Inllucnco, but tho notion that any great party Ih to bo swayed by porsonnl squabbling Is ridiculous. A party may be injured by nn Indul gence of such foolishness, but there by loses sight of Its mission nnd op portunities. Tho number of voters In this country Is becoming ho vast that So, according to tho returns at this writing, Mr. Jonathan Bourne has won tho primary nomlnntlon for United States senator and will expect tho legislature, If Republican, as It surely will be, to elect him. Mr. Bourno has mnda n strong, hard, and It nppcara successful, fight for tho of fico ho hns so long coveted. Ho Is a man of much ability, a "Btayor" In a fight, nnd with practically unlimited financial resources, which ho 1b novcr afraid to uso when ho takes a notion to do so. Tho wind-up of tho contest, with regnrd to tho returns, was vory Interesting. Up till Tuesday it ap peared that Cake's nomination was assured nnd that Bourno had no chanco nt all, but tho nway-back coun ties all went heavily for Bourno, as against Cake, and wiped out the Int tor's plurality and gavo about an equal amount to Bourno, so ho will bo tho regular Republican nominee In Juno. Then tho next interesting question will bo: What will tho leg islature do? It will probably elect Bourno, nB under tho law ho will bo entitled to tho offico, nnd ho is qulto cnpnblo of making a vory useful son-ntor.
