Iii order that the people of Ore gon may not characterize tins meet ing of the Oregon solnns as the "won-t legiblalure yet known to the Btate." as ha.- ever betn the case in the past, it appears that strenuous efforts are being made to have no session. Mr. Simon will decide in a few days, perhaps, whether he will give the people any legislation, or whether he will favor the state with a freak assembly. But let us re member one thing: Oregon elected a republican legislature last June on pledges of reform. They have a majority in both houses. If they cannot agree anvongst themselves is it jubt or right that the democrats and populists should be condemned for the hold up? Must democrats and populists be the agencies to lead in the battle in order that po litical fights in the republican par ty may be settled to the satisfaction of either faction? Must they be the advance guard that Mitchell may be elected? Not much. This would be-asking too much. The republicans should not be angry because the democrats and popu lists refuse to be chestnut rakers for political spoils hunters. Our republican brother editors should meditate a trifle before abusing any one but republicans for the Salem fiasco, They should force their own people into line and if they mufit abuse the opposition lay to them the prerent cold wave. M'KINLEY FORCES UNITE. SHOULD The trouble at, izatio ' jnnPiii i ii will be no .jne republican party is irremeciiai "and in order to force in democrats and populists to close the breach every Mitchell paper has resorted to abuse and villification in the at tempt to fasten t he lack of organi zation upon other forces than re publican. The republican party united gold standard, free silver and iilf during the "presidential campaign and fought the opposition to the last ditch. Now when they are divided, instead of going to work and allow the strongest fac tion to prevail, they' stand apart ami the major faction wants aid from the heretofore "outcasts." Let the McKinley forces unite in the legislature and organize. Then if the free silver forces remain away there will he cause for complaint, The two free! siiver minorities of Washington state, constituting a majority, have organized, and are now lighting over the scuatorship. J,et Oregon's republicans get togeth er and the others must fall into line for organization and work. 11! . . . THE GOVERNMENT CLAIM. It now mems inevitable that the government will foreclose on the Pacific roada and it wi.l be i 11 teres t in(? to watch this procegH of forced collectidii. It is almost a certainty tbflt the corporations will not pay the gbvernuirtnt. claim tiiuil forced by the strong arm of the law. When execution is issued and the date-flf Fle resolve J upon the gov ernment will receive every dollar of its claims, f ir railroad corporations would at once go to the relief of the properties in distress. One potent reason why they would do this is that no txemplification of what our government can or might do in the railroad line is war ted. by railway, and transportation promot ers.; That governments have suc cessfully conducted such enterpris IH is a matter of history, and the probable success in the instances jiow in question would be a strong disclaimer against the popular pre judice that a government can't suc cessfully -conduct a railroad busi ness and that such governmental holdings ore contrary to public pol icy and a step towards paternalism. ti if, tnereiore, more man , iiKejy that our national foreclosure' would be met by full payment 01 mein - debtedncss incurred for building, without winch aid, the roads might have been delayed lor 10 years at least. LET tS ALL EDUCATE. The banking institutions are again striving to resurrect the mon etary conference scheme that they may blind the people thereby and ' thus further their own interests.' A national monetary convention ; was recently neic, in in.minapolis. II consisted of delegates from little groups of citizens throughout the the. country, who indulge in the harmless pastime of forming them selves into Imurds of trade, cham bers of commerce and the like. There is no special use for them.but they thrive in certain -localities just as mushromis grow. This great convention did not resolve it self into a legislative body, but it marktd out a plan for directing the legislative department of t he go vem rhent in its duties. We fully rec ognize the constitutional right of the people to assemble and petition for redress of grii vanes. But this body assumes no such attitude. . It did not even consider the question of whether or not congress would grant their petition a hearing, but it .went ahead and framed the or ders it should give and the. manner in which they should be given. Of course the gold standard was de clared to he the basis of all correct financial legislation. Next to this, the "retirement of all classes of United States' notes" was demand ed. A banking system was also adopted which would furnish an elastic circulation, and distribute loanable capital in such a way us to equalize interest , everywhere. Nothing was said though, whether it was to be stretched in the inter est of the borrowers, or contracted in the interest of the lenders. Nor was the public informed on what principal capital could be equally distributed throughout the country. Its objects having Wen stated, an executive committee was appointed to confer with congress and urge that body to legislate, at tJiA- ial Bession " a i rito Congress -rtlfest dav oossible," '-. The vrfZA; i:., f 4riuwiiaiuii3 uumcicnuc nu; ail en tirely lawful and orderly body. It did nothing which it did not have a right to do. Its gravity and Belf imporlance occasioned a general smile, but the members will not be affected by I hat. It is just by such gatherings that the campaign of education is carried on. And let the friends of bimetallism and of government control of paper mon ey be equally zealous with their iip ponenls. While the gold standard ites scheme for gold, let the great body of the people keep up the agi tation for the restoration of the "sound" gold and silver money of the constitution The Nebraska legislature hiiH considered a resolution to instruct Senator Thurston to vote for bi metallism. It will be remembered that. Mr. Thurston declared ho was in favor of such legislation when he was a candidate for the senate but after election and when the St. Louis platform declared for gold the young fellow broke away and has since staid with his party. It would appear that to a-quit him self honorably with his cot stituen cy he should at least receive in structions from a legislature which represents a majority of the people of the state. But he will not tol erate advice, and like Senator Dolph, will have the temerity to use his own ideas. This is one way of serving a people and it is the very best argument for the election of senators -by the popular vote. To bring this pliace of .sena torial elections closer to home, jt can truthfully be stated that were elections so held, Mr, Mitchell would now be buck at Washington at his post of duty, working for the Nicarauguan .'canal bill. Philadelphia, lost about time million dollars worth of property at a recent fire a'nd strange to say there has so far been no democrat or populist paper with enough gen uine wit to remark that the fire de partment of that city is under the control of a republican Mayor. yhen we have a fire in Portland the Oregonian is equal to the occas ion and points with great earnest- nees to Mayor Pennoyer. . So lorg payers would like to have an Ali as the silver, prer-g is so lacking in 'geld now to .veto the bill. perspicuity the republican party !!, It. . 1 - 111 oe sure to remain 111 power. ! Truly this lack of intuition isai ad one and Jeremiah's lamenta- lions can't legiii to express our griff at the ignorance of our re form press and the wisdom of our opponents. The Orcein tatesnten will have to do some tall rustling if they do anything towards legislating relief for the state. Ante-election prom ises fade awav like sn irredmnent lrean. in tlie 1)rMenoe of the tolial fight ,,, iUme s tw nnm orgfUlizt,d ,hnn Wll8 it (m Uw tir,t jftv of lueetig T,w jit(,h(. supporters are hanging out and will not give away, hoping against hope that the ueople nl" Oregon will be come desperate and demand organ ization on any terms. They think, then, that Mitchell will he elected without a doubt and evi lently mean to make his election to the senate the price of all legislation, be it good or bad. Unless we much mistake the people of On gon, this idea is not well founded. They have seen each consecutive legisla ture fritter away the peoples' mon ey in a reckless disregard of prop perty right and many taxpayers will not complain if no session ia legally held. Very true, commis sions should lie adolished and all that, but there is every reason to believe that Mitchell organization means the continuance of all com missions and no reduction of of ficial salaries, with an exception or so. The idea that the government must compromihe with the Pacific roads in order to get a settlement ia one prompted by the stockhold ers of the rond. These people think the government is a legitimate fish ing ground for cheat of all kinds and their minds should be dispelled of the hallucination or rather such thought should be made a hallucin ation instead of lieing fact. The railroads are no better than fourth class postmasters when it comes don n to business nnd it is linio the government gives such ideas of paternalifni ii tet back. They should be made to se' tie in full blive Messrs Hour and Thurston come out and sit as uur legislature and do away with so much expense? Either could pet away from Con gress fur a sudicient h ngth of time to have. a bi-enn-ia sesMon and if they divided or senator Mark .Han- tiiyi Hild. na could, act as the "thml bouse and lobby an agreement. There appears to be 110 excuse for so ex pensive state government when Sen ators Hoar' 11111I" Thurston are so kind as to offer to take charge of our little state, as did thevafew days ago in thi matter of organiza tion. Last full when the presidential cauiaign was at its heighth Thk Argi s commented upon the friend ly attitude of the-Oregonian and Mitchell and stated that as soon as the election excitement had subsid ed that paper would inauguratea fight on the senior senator. Many questioned the prophesy, but his tory has substantiated what was then said. So it appears Thk Ar gus can occasionally hit the nail on the hei.d. - . The inventor who seeks to solve the secrel. of perpetual motion can get an idea of what he wants as chief principle by inquiring into the Cuban rebellion or the daily meet ings and adjournments of Oregon's law-makers elect. These two ex amples are as near perpetual mo tion as possible to obtain. When one reads such diversity of opinion about the tariff in our leading republican organs some wanting high tariff and some Cleve land tariff it would seem there is some excuse for a poor uneducated parrot in wanting to know "what does Polly want." The legislature in session at. Boise City, Idaho, will do a very foolish thing if they elect "Texas" Angel to the United States senate, as an ordinary angel, would feel very lonesome there but this may be a circumstance in which it would bo different. A Bill is pending before the Ii linois legislature, with good pros pects of j)seit)ie for an appropria tion of $100,000 to have the state represented in the Trans-Mississip pi Exposition.- Perhaps the tax- ' -. -. l " This salary redi'di-ms proposed last June are not verv likelv to take etlect. Vet, should the legis- lature organize within a week there would bo anipie time to pass a sal ary bill that touUI meet the ap proval of taxpayers at large. In this county all parties in the field wore pledged to reduction of salar ies and there must be some justice in the movement. It is quest ioimbln whether such international treaty as the one now before Congress for ratification is in line with the true principles of American independence. In this treaty it is understood that King Oscar of Sweden shall ser e as arbitrator of disputed until his successor shall bo agreed upon. Those who are nioimrelis and con nected with in triarchies .ire, gener ally. speaking, not ed.toated t the standard of hiwid principles upon which republics are founded. In time? of peril and when our repub lican institutions are tii-miieed it may ha pssihie tint this tretty would be a humiliating barrier to the proper assertion of our rights. Of course, in the- event of a with drawal fr-mi the treaty; should such danger by, a visitor, it might mean war and the adjudication of a ilisputo would give Britain tint to prepare for immediate action up on a nun -recognition of tho arbitra tion by our nation.;-'.'. Taking it all in all the treaty m ty givo England a chance to bottle, up our Monroe doctrine arid export it "from the American continent.
