A rUKl.OKN HOi'E. It is not often that a United Slates s-nator descend to the level of a petty ward politician, and per sonally solicits voles, utterly cast ing the dignity of the honorable office aslle in a vain and desperate effort to secure an election. We had been told of the sad decline in the mental powers of Senator dohn II Mitchell, but could not appreciate his utter lack of self respect, ultnost senility, until persuing tho following from the Salem Statesman ot the 25th: United States Senator Mitchell was a caller at tho home of State Senator liesner, in this city,at 11 o'clock last night. Representative Vauglian, a guest at the Gesner home, was awakened and upon in vitation uccompanied Senator Mitchell to the etatehouse. Sena tor Gesner was also honored with an invitation to occupy a seat in the cab, with the assurance he would witness the election of a United States senator. Preferring to firegi attending the important event rather than dress and brave the midnight hours, Senator (!es uer declined the invitation. Imagine a United States senator personally rustling Tom Vaughun out of hod near midnight and tak ing him oil' with him in a carriage. How have the mighty fallen! The Albany Democrat suggests a duel between Senator Driver and Editor Hofer of the Salem Journal, and siiestB any weapons from tons lies, to cannons. Sampson made I! Hl u-c of the jawbone of an nss and, if (lie gmtlemen must fight, that weapon could be easily pro cured iiu tlfi field of battle. Al ready most of the fighting has been carried on through the medium of hi-turic weapon. It would be worth inquiring how many of the lleform Tress Associ ation now in session at Memphis are there on fie? passes.

Toe state of Oregon has a heavy hiu it" expense to meet for the keep of the criminal and depen dent classes.

The scarcity of i-i,ildren in Li Belle Franc has set her states men to eudgfliiii: their brains for c scheni" to protect the '"iofant in dustry." Our protection state-men should be aid" to give them needed advice. It might bo well fur l a Belle to send a committee oof to Oregon where, so far, erotof all kinds, "infant industries" in cluded, never fail, nnd get some practical po'nters ns to tho lust methods used in keeping np pmoi lation. It is asserted that a oiunim will be on hand at the meeting nf the legislature Monday. The people are supremely indifferent as to whether or not that body continues to bum aijout Salem goes home. Tl;" latter is preferable as it is now too late to tnnct laws that would be for the best interest of the state. A hur ried hos-ion would likely result in undigested or vicious legislation. Better that tho people should set tle the matter two years hence. Secretary Kincaid issues certifi cates of time to senators fur at tendance on the legislature but rt fuses to issue them to members of the bouse. This is a hard blow to many of them, who nre about broke, after their forty d ays in the Salem wilderness fighting the devil in the guise of hotels, saloons, rigf.r stores, eating houses and some other houses. As Gov Bushnell of Ohio has promised to appoint Mark llanna to the vacant, senatorship. the ex chairman :f the repnidican na tional committee nnd ex-c'mirmnn .Lines fl f the democratic committee should get together and settle their late difference over tin money and tariff questions. The prohibition party cannot le held in fault for the legislative fiasco It had no represent itive in the legislature. The Mlsse Frieiully Knt' i-iain.
