OmYWi payabl In advaac $2,00 L &tmmwsti EDITORIAL ! 1IAKRIMAN AND HILL. Portland, and indeed all Oregon, aro greatly to bo congratulated on tho coin lng to tills city of tho North Hank rail road, work on which la bolng pushed as rapidly aa poaslhlo. Mr. James J. Hill is tho world's greatest railroad builder and country devolopor, and his construction of this lino is literally worth millions of dollars to this city, and this (act ought to bo appreciated by all its peoplo. Portland and tho rest of Oregon aro especially to bo congratulated on this very important ovent bocauso of tho way tho statu haB been hold back and milked and imposed on for those many years by tho Harriman system. Harri man haB boon a voritablo dog in tho manger hero in Oregon. While mak ing millions out of Oregon trafllc he has always done Just aa little as poasl hlo for Oregon, and ho would permit nobody else to do anything, lie had Oregon bottled up, and treated Its peo plo with supremo contempt, as if they wero a lot of yuhooa lit only to hu plun dered. It was only when Mr. Hill broke loosn from tho dlvlslon-of-terrl-tnry understanding and began in dead earnest to build down tliu Columbia and Invadu Harriman "territory" that tlia latter got busy and began to do a little railroad building that ought to have boon dono ten or twenty years ago. Hu lias tried to impedo and ha rass Mr. Kill in hla work of building into Portland in every poaaiblo way and so has deservedly carnod tho ill will of all tho people of this city, and aa soon aa the now lino is comploted into Port land it ought to bo patronized whenovor possible, to tho exclusion of the Harri man lines. Tho Harriman policy has ' been an Incalculable Injury to Oregon. Washington has nearly twice aa many people and aa much wealth aa Oregon, and is growing much moro rapidly principally because of tho differuueo in policy between Hill and llarilman. While tho latter waa an Incubus on Oregon, Mr. Hill waa developing Wash ington and other portions of tho north ern tier of states, encouraging produc tion and creating a great volume of trade and comiuurco. Orvlng largely to Mr. Hill's progressive and liberal pol icy Seattle has increased much faster than Poitland, and has at last about overtaken this city, while Tacoma and Hpokano have grown to cltlea nearly half Portland's bIxo, If we had had a Hill Instead of a Harriman iu Portland and Oregon during tho past 120 years, Portland would have beou a city of 1250,000 inhabitants, instead of being one of not over 150,000. The small caliber of tho Harriman management waa illustrated recently where its agent here declined to do business in the customary way with The New Age, because it had ventured on a few occasions mildly to criticise that system and compliment its rival, and these editorial utterances of this paper were brought forth as a reason for declining to furnish the manager of this paper with the usual transporta tion for value received. Wo caro noth ing about this, and can pay our faro if obliged to travel on the Harriman linen, but if tho management of that road auppoies that it can control the editorial utterances o The New Ago, or cause It to suppress criticism that ought to be made, on account of a few paltry dollars' worth of transportation for advertising, it has entirely mistaken us, It would be a pretty state of affairs if the papers of the country were to be subsldited in any such a manlier, and their columns closed to any deserv ed criticisms because of a little patron age. This Is not that sott uf a paper, and cannot bo thus cheaply bought or inlluencud. Hy tint way, since this railroad sys tem haB always been an enemy of this state and city negatively at least, why should it be permitted to use Fourth Btreet perpetually without paying ary thing for the privilege'' Tho franchise granting the old Oregon road right of way along that Btreet ought to bo re voked, and if tho company is allowed to use tho street at all It should be Tho campaign is about over, and everybody, and particularly tho candi dates, aro glad of it. There Is no rea son to doubt that, with ono or possibly two exceptions, Oregon will go Repub lican hy a very largo majority, though it la not reasonably to bo expected that Hoosevolt's majority of -13,000 will be reached by any candldato who has a Democratic opponont. As to tho vote for United States son ator, tho result will bo in doubt until tho voles aro counted, because nobody can gauge tho slzo of tho (dump away from Uourno. That it will bo heavy nobody doubts but that it will bo heavy enough to dofcat him is rather Improb able This would require about 15,000 Republican votes to go to Gearin, which cannot bo expected, though n good many experienced observers would not bo much surprised if Gearin should win out, and a wholo lot of Republi cans would not bo at all sorry If he did. But cuppoBO ho should? It is con coded on all hands that tho next legis lature will bo overwholmlngly Repub lican, and sucli a legislature Is not likely to elect a Democratic senator, even if Gearin should beat Uourno at tho polls. Homo Republican mombors who signed statement number ono might vote for him; hut not enough of them, in all probability to elect. Moro likely somo now Itobuplican candidate would appear and capture tho prlr.o, unless Mr. Rourno atill persisted It. his candidacy, in which rase tlioro would ho n tine prospect of a deadlock lasting throughout tho session. If, however, Mr. Uourno wins next Monday, it is to bo presumed that tho legislature will elect him and hu will have attained the prlr.o for which ho has in devious ways struggled so long. Governor Chamberlain, as all Repub licans concede, will get qulto a good many Republican votes, and on the other hand will lose qititoa lot of Dem ocratic votes, and wo do not believe, in splto of Democratic claims, that he can bo elected. Tho case is very different now from what It was four years ago, when nearly tho wholo Hlmou wing of tho party supported him, Becrotly If not oponly. Many of tho men who fought Furnish then aro cordially If not enthu siastically supporting Withycombe now, tho party is pretty well united, there is no vory eorlous and well defin ed split or holt, and bo it seems very Improbable that tho governor can win out again. Prof. Withycombe Is recog nized as a capable, worthy man, who obtained tho nomination at tho hands of tho people fairly and squarely and on hla merits, and not so many Itepub llcans as some Democrats imagiuu are going back on him. even If they think Chamberlain a "good fellow" in his way. Aa to tho rest of the ticket, stato and county, with tho exception of sheriff, tho Republicans will win by very largo majorities. The only other pneBlhlo exception is in tho otllce of county judge, In which case Van Zanto will All the leading Republicans are sup porting him cordially, and many of them are out on the stump for him. Chamberlain will got quite a lot of votes cf Republicans because they know and liko him personally, but nono bo cauBo of hatred or active opposition to Withycombe. Nobody has any grudge against the latter, aB many had against Furnish. Resides, a consldorablo frac tion of Domocrata will voto against the governor, for ono reason or anothor, and he certainly can't afford to loso any Democratic votes. Tho New Ago hopoa Portland Repub licans will give Mr. Withycombe a big majority. Ho daaorves it, because he ia a good, clean, capablo man, fairly nominated by tho peoplo. He has novor been a factioniat, never a distur ber, never had any grudges to pay or revenges to wreak, has always been a loyal Republican, an extraordinarily useful citizen, and in overy respect is worthy of and entitled to Republicans' votes. This county is Republican by 0,000 or 7,000 plruality, and with tho excep tion of tho olllco of sheriff it ought to glvo Mr. Withycombo nearly that much plurality. Thoro is no good reason for scratching him and votinir for his Dem ocratic opponont, even If in somo re spects ho has mado a fairly good gover nor. Withycombe may make quite as good a govornor or even hotter. Ho ought to carry Portland by a largo ma jority. MR. GOODK, PRESIDENT. Sheriff Word did a mighty good job when he rid Portland of the profession al gamblers. That old railroad franchise down Fourth street should be revoked or heavily taxed. Already thoro la talk about candi dates for mayor, and the election a year off. A Btrango thing happened in Louisi ana this week; a whito man waa lyncLol. "Oldest Hunk In tho Btnto uf Wellington."

Tho only Democrat that a real hopeful tight will be mado for in this county is Sheriff Word, and he will almost surely bo elected, though Van Xante's frionds aro active and claim to be hopeful. Next week we can tell better, however, and all about why it happened. Tho investment in Portland and vi cinity recently of soveral millions of dollars capital iu existing Btreet and rural railways and projected electric lines is a good thing .'or Portland and all tho adjacent country. It means rapid development on n largo scale, Portland Itself 1h pretty well supplied with street railways, and the O. & W. P. R. R. has invaded tho country to and beyond Oregon City and southeast erly to Estacada, but tho great, broad, fertile Willamette valtoy has till now laid noglectod, though for yeara past offering a tempting Held for tho invest ment of capital in this way. Thero should bo, and In tho near futuro will bo, not only ono but sovoral roads ex tending through tho Wlllametto valloy and connecting all tho principal tewna, on both tides of tho Willamette. These eastern capitalists porcoivo tho fine op portunity hero, and will Improve it. They have unlimited capital at com mand, and bellevo that they can find no bettor use for it, which la encourag ing and helpful to Western Oregon. These capitalists havo mado an un doubtedly wise selection in choosing Mr. II. W. Goodo as tho executive head of this groat system of urban and rural railways. Hu ia a man of Very great oxecutive ability, as has been shown iu Ills presidency of the General Electric company and of the Lewis and Clark fair. He is thoroughly familiar with conditions hero, in all respects, and haB tho utmost confidence of all the people of this region. He has lived among tia a long time, has occupied po sitions of great responsibility, has had many very important and onerous du ties to perform, and has always per formed them well and satisfactorily not only to his associates and employe) but to the general public. The New Age is pleased to see Mr. Goode tlniB promot ed and his sphere of usfeulness enlarg ed, and predicts that under his man agement the existing and projected roads will bo very successful, and pro fitable to their owuors as well aa uf great advantage to tho people. No Democratic candidates for tho legislature will bo elected in this county.

Phone Cost 57 MUCH TO BE DONE. Many tho WI THYCOMBK ANDCHAMUKRI.AIN Tho usual claims and predictions are being made on both side, especially as to governor. Chamberlain's to.Uers claim lie will carry nil sections of tho state outside of Portland and this city as well, and bo elected by from o,00u to 10,000 majority, while Mr. Withy combe's supporters pooh at these claiuu, and tay that he will carry Multnomah county by 5,000, and every other section of the state besides, and bo elected by (tout 10,000 to 20,000 majority. Roth can't be right, and probably neither Is at all confident of the result It predicts. The New Age is making un positive ONK DKMOORAT. In one place Republicans need make no apology for scratching a name on their ticket and voting for a Democrat, not that tho Republican candidate is not a good man, but because tho Demo cratic candidate has made ao good a record that ho ought in the interest of the public as well as in justice to him self to e given another term. A good sheriff ought to be permitted to serve a second term at least, whatever his poli tics, and Sheriff Word is no exception to the rule. Indeed, it applies with unusual force in his caso, for he lias dono what no sheriff of this county ever dared to do, and desired to do be fote. He broke up public gambling, for which he deserves the gratitude of 00 out of every 100 of tho people, and he allow td no graft in his otllce, which entitles hint to the support of taxpayers and honest men throughout Hie county regardless of polities. It is for these reaeons that tho New Age, a Republi can paper, Is cottlially anil earnestly supporting Sheriff Word for re-election. Measures to Corns Boforo Senato and House, Washington, May 20. Tho sonate is counting on a busy week and the pros pect Is favorablo to long work days and tew Interruptions. Thero aro two ap propriation bills ready for considera tion, and the sea levol canal bill, hav ing been made tho unfinished business, will bo pressed as steadily aa circum stances will permit. In addition, con ferees will bo appointed on the railroad rate hill; tho nomination of Mr. Rarnea to be postmaster of tho city of Wash ington will rcceivo attention, and tho bill declaring a policy iu the matter of tho purchase of Panama canal supplies will lie considered. The senato manifests a disposition to tlovote serious consideration to tho ca nal type bill. The gonoral plan is to press tho con sideration of the appropriation bills aa speedily aB possible. The postotlice and naval bills will be ready for considera tion early In tho week, but it is not yet decided which will be given preference, Both will present features that will arouse debato, and It is a foregone con clusion that especial attontion will bo given to tho provision in the naval bill (or a new monster warship. Conference reports on the agricul tun 1 and legislative appropriation bills will probably bo made before the close of tho week, Tho canal supply bill will bo debated at some length, and Senator Itayner will bo among tlioeo to bo hard on that measure. Work on the sund'y civil appropria tion bill will begin iu the house this week. This bill ia larger and carries more money than any preceding sundry civil act. The aggregate will bo iu the neighborhood of $90,000,000. Thore will be a great demand on the part ol members to make speeches relating to items nlfecting their particular home districts, and Chairman Tawney esti mates that it will require fully a week to consider and pass the bill. The controversy between tho pure food and immigration bills will follow the disposition of the n&turaliiatiou bill. It ia planned that no adjournment will bo taken for the observation ol Decoration day, Weduesday. The Democratic filibuster to empba slxa to the country that no progress is apparent, on the statohood agreement U consuming considerable time in the house. Rollralls to determine the presence of a quorum have begun each day's session, with few exceptions, and Minority Leader Williams announces his intention, encouraged by a "round robin" from his colleagues, to continue these methods. The statehood con ferees announce that an agreement on that measure ii in sight aud may be reached during the week. PACIFIC IRON WORKS.
