Only a few days ago we read with re
gret a statement in the Ocefenian to the
effect thai it would never, no never, say
anything more about "free trade" until
the question whether we lire in the
United State or the "confederacy" is
settled. We believed then that its edi
tor moat have made the statement in en
angry, fretful spirtt4br if the Oregoincm
has any well-defined political principle
it fa that of "free trade." But that
paper is itself again, for only last Mon
day it came out strongly sod uneeui-
ecUy in favor of free trade, so far aa
sugar fa concerned. True, ft very greet
many people say openly end above board
that its object fa to punish the south for
voting for Cleveland, end that it would
willing! v ruin the industries of that sec
tion in order to vent its spleen upon,
and obtain revenirs.against, a people for
whom it has no feeling except that of
hatred. This may be an uncharitable
view to take ot the course of the Ore
gonian but people generally do so. Bu
amidst any doubts thst may surround
the question, we are glad, (and make
haste to notify our readers of the good
news,) that thst paper has so promptly,
(notwithstanding its pledge otherwise,)
some forward ftnd given the public An
other article on "free trade."

'The Eugene Register, one of the
most constantly devoted republican
papers in the state, with much aenae
sid truth says: "Blaine has withdrawn
his suit against the Indianapolis Sen
tin d thus virtualy acknowledging that
he had not been slandered. The plea
that he could not have fair play fa a
little too thin, and ah nm ilia ting admiss
ion thst the suit ought never to hare
been bought."
Here we have a republican paper
saying that, which, if said by ft dem
ocrat, would meet with the severest
criticism from Blsine organs. But
every man in the country whose mind
fa not warped or poisoned by party
spirit wiil agree with the Register that
this withdrawal of bis suit fa ft victual
acknowledgement by Blaine that he
was not slandered and that the plea
that he could not have fair play fa
sham, frivolous snd irrelevant. Yes, it
would bave boen better never to haye
to bare brought the suit.
THE LEC1SLATC
This body cf repreatativss of the
public will, wii! meet at Salem next
Monday. Under our form of govern
ment they are supposed to give express'
ion to public sentiment in the legisla
tion enacted by them. Many subjects
of legislation will be presented by the
members of the body, but it might be
well to say that the general impression
among the tax-payers of the state fa
that the public weal calls for very little
legislation. The subject of taxation is
the most important matter, so far as the
great body of the people fa concerned,
that witi be up for consideration, bnt it
will be made to take a secondary place
in the minds of many members, while the
senatorial question will be first. Upon
all matters in which the people are in
terested, the Dehocbbt will try to keep
its readers posted.
the f Barnes decisios.
Judge Sullivan's decision in the
Sharon divorce case was the longest
ever rendered by a court. It contain
ed about 8.5,000 words. The full tes
mony m the case consisted of nearly
300,000 words, and if printed in the
same style aa the Encyclopedia Brit
annica, it would make a work equal
rn size to that publication, which
comprises twenty-one volumes of 800
pages eaeh. All of the immense
labor of getting the testimony in
proper form for Judge Sullivan, and
afterward the decision was performed
under the personal direction of Thos.
J. Knox, the official reporter of Judge
Sullivan's court. It is stated that
Judge Sullivan devoted a full month
to the writing of the decision. The
copy of the document which he read
from the bench was executed on the
type writer, and it was pronounced
one of the neatest pieces of work ever
done on that instrument.
The sre talking of reading Senator
Edmunds out of the Republican party.
It is charged that be was in direct and
open revolt against the last national
ticket, nd that,jf he did not vote'against
Blaine and Logan,tbey had none of his
good widhefi. The Senator neither ad
mits nor det.ies the charges. As the
lawyers say, it fa a case of confession
and avoidance. But when Mr. Ed
munds is turned out ot the party it
will be destitute of both brains and
ice.
A republican friend who writes to
discontinue tne democrat, names
Blaine as bis choice for the republi
can nomination for the presidency in
1888. We think he exercises as bad
judgment in discontinuing the Demo-
ckat as he dovjs in making op his
choice for president in 1888.

FRIDAY
sUKftrftwriTY.
Our Republican friends are taking
much interest in the subject of reci
procity treaties. They urge tSe adop
tion of the Spanish treaty, notably on
the ground that we need many of the
productions of the West ladies, while
they need our corn, wheat, etc. It fa
especially urged that this treaty should
be Adopted for the reason that sugar
ftnd tobacco will then be admitted duty
free into this country, which will furn
ish these articles to consumers here at
a much cheaper rate than now. But
those who urge the adoption of this
treaty seem not to recognise the faot
that it fa just as important to uur peo
ple to be supplied with cheap cotton
snd woolen good, sa well as iron, steel,
salt, coal, and many other of the neces
saries cf life, as cheap sugar and tobac
co. Thev also evidently ignore the
fact that the question of protection
enters with more or less force into the
constitution of the treaty.
The adoption of the treaty will be ft
removal of the tariff duties from sugsr
snd tobacco. While the Democratic
party fa in favor of ft reduction of tar
iff duties to that point in the scale of
duties which will produce only ft audi
oient amount of revenue to meet the
just and present demands of govern
ment, yet they will enter their solemn
protest against making the reduotion on
one or two articles. They opposed the
reduction on wool dutiee for this very
reason. This resort to reciprocity
treaties on the part of protectionists fa
an acknowledgment that protection for
protection's sake must sooner or later
give way to a tariff for revenue only.
The foundation principle cf a reciproci
ty treaty fa a proposition by one nation
to remove duties from one or more
articles of import, provided that other
nation will in return remove duties
which it has seen fit to levy upon im
ports. This calls out all' the charact
eristics of dUcrimination,reUution and
compromise. It causes one nation to
say to another in self defense : "If you
discriminate against our productions
then we will retaliate by discriminating
against yours, bnt if you will remove
restrictions, then we will ft 1st do so."
And this, if accepted, brings these two
nations to he trade so far aa those ar
ticles agreed upon is c ueerned, Thus
Republicans are trying to do iudtreotly
what Democrats would do directly in
part.
-Wf ELIGIBLE.
Hon. Sol. Hirsch, one
of the State
senators from Multnomah county fa an
avowed candidate for the United States
Senate. The franc era of our state con
stitution foresaw that evil and corrupt
ing influences would often be brought
to beer in the election of United Ststes
Senatora and among others tbey sought
to remove one danger, which tbey had
seen other states the victim of. This
wss the danger of ft legislature electing
one of its own members through vatious
promises of place and power. Hence,
they wisely placed the following inhibi
tion in the constitution of thn stile:
"No Ssnator or representative shall,
during ths time lor w&icn be may have
. a a m a I
been elected, be eligible to any office,
.. ... .... .... I
the election to which is vested in the
legislative assembly; nor shall be ap-
pointed to soy civil office of profit which
shall have been created, cr the oroolu-
menu of which small have been increaa-
ed during such term, but this latter
provision shall not be construed . te 1
apply to any office elective by the people-
(See Sec 30 Art. IV.) It is said that
there fa an inhibition in tbe oath of a cir-)
cuit Judge which would render him me-
igible to the efficeof United 8tate
Senator, end for that reason Judge
Boise whose friends will piaoe bim
in the race, would be ineligible, but
those who urge Judge Boise's inelegi-
bility are misled as the inhibition re- j
ferred to applies only to Judgee of tbe
Supreme Court, and not to Circuit
Judges. But certainly no member of
the legislature is eligible if there be
any force in the constitutional brovi-
sion given sbove. The Oregonian, in
the interest of Senator Hirscb, (so it is
said,) construes tbe constitutional pro
vision above quoted to include such
offices only ss may have been created
by the legislative assembly or the emol
uments ef which shall have been in
creased during such teim. Bat such
construction is nob justified either by
tho text or context, neither dies com-
mon sense, analogy or precedent lead
to
such construction.
We are sure the Oregonian, which
is usually very good authority on con
or ww j
...
stitutional state questions, hai not
duly considbred the import fthe
ahnvn DrovMon. nr 11 would n.v.r
have riven the o.lnioo above. True.
the question is largely a moral one,
w - '
ss tnere is no penalty attached to the
violaUon of the oath, which all the
members take,
in case tbey should,
in the face of this provision, elect one
of their own members to the United
States. Nor woult? the United States
Senate, in admitting such senator)
consider the ineligibility, as tbey
wonld determine the eligibility by the
provisions of the constitution and laws
of the United States. The question
wil1 06 settled by each member deter
mining, whether, under his oath, he
can morally vote ior a member of
the body for United States senator.

letter to President-elect Cleveland, in

out ths provisions of the Civil Service
Act, and expressed a hope that this
would not prove to be the osse. To this
Mr. Cleveland replies as follows t
Albany, December 25, 1884.
To Hon. Ueorge William Curtis,
President, etc. Deer Sir : Your com
munication, dated December 20tb, ad
dressed to me on behalf of the National
Civil Service Reform League, has been
received. Thst s practical reform in
the civil service fa demanded, fa abund
antly established by the fact thst the
statute referred to in your communion
tion was passed in Concrete with ths
assent of both political parties, and by
the further mot thst ft sentiment is
generally prevalent smong patriotic
people calling for a fair and honest en
foroement of the lew which has been
thus enacted. I regard myself pledged
to this, because my conception of true
Democratic faith and public doty re
quires thst this, snd sli other statutes,
should be in good faith snd without
evasion enforced, snd because in many
utterances made prior to my election aa
President, it wss epp roved by the per
ty to which I belong, snd which I have
no disposition to disclaim. I have, in
effect, promised the people thst this
should be done. I em not unmindful
of the feet to which yon refer, thst
many of your eitiaene fesr thst the
recent party ohaage in the
XATtoxai. Kxsctrrtvs
Msy demonstrate that abuses, which
have grown up in the civil service, ere
ineradicable. I know they are deeply
rooted, ftnd that the spoils aystem has
been supposed to be intimately related
to success in the msintensnct of party
organisation, and I am not sure that
those who profess to be friends of that
reform will stand firmly among its ad
voeates when tbey fiod it obstructing
their way to patronage and place ; but
fully appreciating the trttst committed
to my charge, no each consideration
shall cause s relaxation, on my part, of
aa earnest effort io enforce this law.
There is a class of Government posi
tions which sre not within the letter ef
the civil service etatutr, but which are
so disconnected with the policy of an
administration that removal therefrom
of Pm,nt incumbents, in my opin
ten, ebould not be made during the
terms for which they were appointed
solely on patrons grounds, snd for
the purpose of posting in their places
those who ere in political eceord with

It fa generally admitted, says the
Xmminsr, thst the Administration of
Mr. Arthur fa entitled to, perhaps, more
than average credit for its conservative
management of public affairs; but it
labors, more than any of its predeces
sors, under the disadvantages that al
ways attend an unduly prolonged lies
of power. A continuous hold of twen
ty-four years upon the relna of Govern
ment fa not oonduoive to sleepless vig
ilance. It fa more spt to result in sa
easy self-confidence ; in lsxity of super
vision ; in evssions snd neglect, if not
downright breeches of trust. Nor fa it
st all to be woudered at that palpaole
evidences of this degouerscy of admin
istrative energy should from time to
time crop out of the accumulated disa
bilities of a quarter of century, show
ing that ft party whioh exists for the
sols purpose of holding on to the onsets
whioh it has inherited becomes et lsst
the most dsogeroui custodian to whioh
those ollices should be intrusted. A
lowered tone of oflicisl rectitude fa
morally certain to be bred, snd undis
turbed occupation of public positions
abound in temptations to ths specula
tive mind, and opportunities lor irregu
lar snd illegitimate methods of making
money, over whioh no vigorous super,
vfaory control fa exercised. Apt illus
trations of this sre found in the star
route knaveries and the Burnside
defalcations. Another, , and perhaps s
more striking example, wss seen in the
malfeasance unearthed last Spring in
the Navy Deportment, disclosing a
systemstio series of peculations carried
on from year to year with the utmost
impunity. Indeed, it fa no exaggera
tion to ssy thst most of the bank fail
ures during the year now at its close
sre ft t tribu table to the imperfect end
merely formal en lore anient of the laws
governing the examination of those in

auch circumstances aa these, the change
which in a fsw weeks will be msde in
the conduct and control of the Govern
ment was Imperative. Every social
