EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE.
The "Rosebarg Review" being one
of the papers of the state which rep
resents the ultra and ll ucom promising
elements of democracy in its last issue
was shooting short squibs at Governor
Moody agni'ist the policy of calling ;in
extra session of the legislature. But
as it happens Gov. Moody is not likely
to consider the question from a demo
cratic standpoint. He will no donbt
consiWfroni -ii" standpoint oi his
duty to the people at large. EVom
such a view -ve rind thnt the people
have the right, established through the
fundamental law of the State to be
represented by a United States Sen
ator in Congress which shall have
been selected by the legislature com
posed of members elected by the last
general election and those hold over
senators. For the Governor to appoint
a Senator would be taking a grave nd
important responsibility on his shoul
ders which any man who has thus far
governed the State with his becom
ing good sense is not likely to assume;
besides if he did appoint, it would not
bo giving to the people the full rights
which they are entitled under the con
stitution. Another reason why an
extra session should be called is that it
is certainly time that Oregon had once
more in the near future a session of
the legislature which shall not lie en
cumbered with the question of the elec
tion of a United States Senator, in
order that the legislature may consider
and put in proper shape much needed
legislation. Tf the Governor there
fore should appoint a Senator it would
place matters in such shape before the
legislature of 1887 so that the atten
tion would be absorbed by the ques
tion of electing a United States Sen
ator to the neglect of valuable ques
tions of much needed legislation as was
done during the last session, and on
the contrary, if the Governor calls to
gether an extra session during the ap
proaching fall and thus gives the leg
islature an opportunity to settle the
question so that a Senator will there
by them be elected, the legislature of
1887 will be left unmolested by sena
torial questions s that they can attend
ro the enactment of important laws in
a proper shape and so that they can be
enforced in a practicable way. The
question of the expense to the state of
an extra session as suggested by the
"Review" is -simply and only bogging
the question, and when the whole sul
ject is fully considered we find that
the suggestion is without foundation,
because owing to the fact that the Sen
atorial question was before the last
legislature, many subjects of legisla
tion was so much neglected, and some
passed through neglect and oversight,
of a penal nature without any penalty
attached thereto that on the whole,
an extra session of the legislature
convened daring this year could rem
edy such defects in the neglects of last
session that the remedies which the
extra session could make would more
than pay its expenses and make a sav
ing to the state and counties over and
above the expanse of an extra session.
When a democratic paper comes for
ward and opposes an extra session in
the face of all of these facts it is self
evident that it is doing so from purely
democratic views and utterly disre
gardful of the interests and rights of
the people. When a democratic papers
which view things from no other ex
cept theirown political and party stand
point undertake to advise a Republi
can administration it is always and
invariably the sure course for the Re
publican party to go contrary to the
democratic dictation. -
average years, the consequences will
not be at all serious. It is even dotiht
ful if wheat will appreciably advance
in price lieeau.se of the shortage. In
deed, on the very day that it was an
nounced, the price decreased. The
crop in this country, despite the falling
oft', will lie very large, and, added to
that of last year, which was phenome
nally great, the supply will be far in
ex ess of probable or possible demand.
Our chief customer abroad is the Uni
ted Khigdrtm. The acreage there is
lf.ss than usual, and the weather being
unfavorable the yield will be a million
quarters less than last year. It is
also estimated that the crop of Ger
many, Holland arid Belgium be a mill
ion and a half quarters short; that of
Austria, Hungary, Southern Russia
and Spain about the same, while there
will be a falling off in the yield of
PiTince equal to 3,500,000 quarters.
s Great Britain draws her supply of
-nat in part from some of the above
named countries, and as the supply of
several of them will not be in excess
of their own needs this year, it is reas
onable to suppose that the British
demand upon the harvest of the Uni
ted States will be greater than usual.
The most important thing about the
increase or decrease of the. wheat crop
should be its eflect upon the price of
bread. Flour, for instance, had not
JOHN H. MITCHELL.
The manner in which this distin
guished citizen of Oregon was received
in the southern part of the State last
week shows the strong hold he has
upon the confidence and affections of
the eople. Although he came unan
nounced, and as a private citizen atten
ding to his own business, the people
were not content to let the occasion
pass without some manifestation of
their gratification and pleasure at his
return to the State. The demonstra
tions are all the more significant be
cause of their spontaneity. This feel
ing is not confined to Southern Oregon.
In Eastern Oregon the people irre
spective of party atfiliations, are equ;:'.
ly and enthusiactically his admirers
and friends. That he contemplates
returning to Portland to resume the
practice of his profession, and has no
expectation or desire of future political
preferment, in na manner affects the
determination of the people to indicate
their appreciation of his past efforts in
their behalf or their intention to de
mand his services again at some ap
propriate time in the future. Oregon
will have occasion in the immediate
future to demand the services of her
wisest and best statesman. At no
time in ihe historv of the State have
there been more propitious opportuni
ties for accelerating its growth in pop
ulation and wealth. It has demands
upon the General Government, which
will ha recognized if properly presen
ted and vigorously urged. In formula
ting these demands and arousing the
public sentiment in their behalf in all
parts of the country, the best brains,
the strongest personal influences, and

development o! a deaf race of people.
In experiments in scientific agricul
ture, Prof. W. H. Jordan has found
phosphoric acid from bone black sti-
ru pea phosphate to increase the yield of
wheat more than any other plant food.
The addition of potassa and nitrogen,
ga e an increase of grain, and still
more of straw Farm-yard manure
produced a less decided increase of the
crop than a complete dressing with ar
tificial manures. Lime, ground lime
stone and gypsum had little or no
effect.
According to Dr. John C. Peters,
veterinary authorities have recognized
scarlet fever as a disease of horses from
a period as early as the year 1514.
These animals and human beings are
affected differently. In the former the
disease proceeds out of some previous
ailment, while in mankind it always
occurs by itself. In horses it is mild,
but in human beings it is often most
mallignant;and symptoms which in the
one care are common and give no un
easiness, in the other are sure precur
sors of death.
It is stated that more than fifteen'
per cent, of the samples examined last
year, under an act of the British Par
liament relating to the sale of food,
proved to be impure. Of milk 7000
samples were tested, and about one
fifth were condemned.
