THE TROUBLE AT SALEM.
, The bold up in the house of represen
ttllTM'al Salem, presumably over the
election of speaker, is a deplorable
Ut ol affairs, but not an unmixed eril.
The speakership is in tie foreground,
bat other things of more importance are
behind it, and in these the people are
directly interested. The great mass of
the eiticena are neither office holders
nor office seekers, aud it is a matter of
comparatively small concern to them
what individuals are chosen to fill pub-
tie positions, but they are deeply inter
eetod in questions of governmental pol
iey, for these affect every man, woman
and child of the commonwealth, and if
the chosen standard bearer is a repre
sentative of the measure the people ad
vocate it mallets not what bis name
may be. Ltt ns have a little lets hero
worship and a little more bnsioees in
onr politics and the die-graceful ycenee at
Salem will not be repeated.
The populist brethren, members ol
the honee, have issued a manifesto to
. their constituents in justification of
their coarse, saying in effect, that tbey
propose to block all efforts at organ iza
tion until they can be assured of the
passage of such measures as accord with
the peculiar creed of populism, chief
among which is the initiative and refer
endum. Business is sufficiently dis
turbed under present methods of law
making, bat under the proposed plan a
lew visionaries might force the submis
sions of all sorts of wild schemes for
popular approval. Of coarse the sober
srnnrl thnnght of Lb a muiM can t ro
lled on, but sometimes all the people
can be fooled for a little while and the
mischief is done. Again, isn't this de
mand of the minority for the enactment
of measures to which the majority are
opposed contrary to the claim that ours
ias government of the majority? Does
it not savor of revolutionary tactics?
This coarse will not be approved. It is
establishing a precedent for future mi
norities to follow the same policy if it
suit their caprice.
It is noted with satisfaction that the
memberi from Douglas county are in
their places, ready to attend to businees
for which they were choeen. However
they may disagree as to men and
measures they are agreed on one thing,
and that is, their place is in the house
ad not in hiding.
BLOWS HOT AND COLD.
The Oregonian with one breath says
that the Davis party at Salem who have
not taken the oath, "are members,"
when It sails lie parpoee .to do eo, and
tnen when it salts its purpoee, it eayi
they "are not members." The Ore
Ionian says this minority has authority
by the constitution to meet aud adjourn
from day to day, but they have not the
power to compel the attendance of ab
sent members. This seems to be a
Strange sort of logic, as will be perceived
from the language of Sec. 12, article 4, of
the constitution, which is here given
verbatim, via :
"Two-thirds of each house shall con
stitute a quorum to do business, but a
smaller number may meet, adjourn from
day to day and compel the attendance of
of absent members."
Now, mark you, the smaller number is
clothed with the same authority to com
pel the attendance of absent members
that it has to meet and adjourn from
day to day. A em. 11 number and a
very small number at that, some days
meet and adjourn, as they claim the
constitution authorizes them. So ar
goes the Oregonian, but it denies that
they hare any power to compel attend
ance of absent members.
The query is bow can a email number
meet and adjourn from day to day by
authority of Sec. 12, article 4, of the
constitution and not have the same au
thority to compel attendance of absent
members? The fact is, this obstruction
party Cods ample authority to do what
it wants to do, but no authority to do
what It don't want to do, and the Ore
'gonian applauds its rebellious actions,
all to have its own sweet will at one
man.
" Notice, the "smaller number" are
clothed with three powers all couched in
one brief sentence without odo qualify
Ing word to either. The languge Is "but
(mailer number (smaller than two
third! majority 5 may meet, adjourn from
' day fo day and compel the attendance of
absent member." The gist of the
whole metier ia tbey don't ant to com
pel absent members.
Hon It the accepted lime to subscribe.
While personally friendly to Senator
John II. Mitchell and believing that he
could do more for the people of the state
than any other man who might be
choeen who is without experience, It
rotiet be admitted that he and his Imme
diate friends are responsible for the pre
dicament in which the senator finds him
self. They endeavored during the cam
paign last erring to make fealty to the
senator on the part of candidates for the
legin'ature a pi lor consideration to the
foil It to the republican party and its
principles. Tarty piinciples and poli
cies honld ttand firt.in order, then the
qualifications and claims of candidates
for ositicns of honor and trust.
There ia an old saving- that no matter
how badly ff a mau.ruay be, he can al
ways find tome one worse oft than he is.
This sort of comfort may be extracted by
Porilanders from a contemplation of the
taiMiing projct before the people of
Seattle. The state of Oregon expects
from Portland $205,064 79 of the state
taxee, but the state of Washington ex
pects from King count- 2S3,680 50.
The total tax expected from King
county, state, county, municipat. school
and road, is $1.0.H).&47 SH. This is
simply awful. Oregonian.
T. T. Geer has gone East with the
electoral vote of Oregon for Major Mc-
Kinley. On his way to the capital Mr.
Geer will cll on the president elect at
Canton, and if he doesn't make himself
solid for the appointment as collector of
customs of the port of Portland, he
ought to. Mr. Geer has the beet en
dorsement ever given an applicant for
fedeial place in this state and there is no
reason why he should not bo appointed
He is capable, honest, deeervirg.
Senator Thomas H. Benton once said:
All oar trouble comes from uneasy cap
tious politicians, but our peace and pros
perity come from the tranquil masses.
This aphorism we now see verified by a
few cocsciiUBlrS) politicians it ho, lor
personal advantages, are causing im
meuse trouble and injury to the people
of this state. Tbey ought to be hang as
high as Haman without the benefit of
clergy.
Salem water, or tomelhiog, must be
bad. Several members of the legislature
are incapaciated for the lime being from
attending to their dutiee, the result of
drinking Salem water; and tome people
are onkind enough to say they were
staying tat purposely.
The reportel plethora of the vaults of
the banks of the money centers of the
East ought to enable the Coos Bay,
Roeeburg and Eastern R. K. people to
obtain the wherewith to continue the
road to civilization ; i. (., Roeeburg.
The outlook for the grain market for
the coming year continues bright, and
in the very natnre of things the beef
eopply from the great ranges most fall
off so that there are better times in store
for the framers cf the Pacific coast.
The treaty between the United States
and Great Britain may mean peace for
an indefinite period, but fortifications
are being erected along the border on
the Canadian side just the same.
The dolDgs of the present legislature
of Oregon will be interesting reading for
the future student of the history of the
state.
Senator Squire ot Washington does not
seem to have made much by his flop to
populism. Now let Dubois fare likewise.

SPEECH 0E 1. It. IA. CRAWFORD,
Representative from Douglas County, on the Organization
of the Mouse.
The following is the speech made by Representative A. M. Crawford
in the house Thursday morning when he gave notice that the Kitting mem
bers ol that branch of the legislature would proceed to eilec. an organisa
tion of the house during the afternoon ;
"We have for ten days labored and waited for the lulling in c inhere to
come in an I join u in the orgmitatioti of thl bouse. lVirlug this time we
have been under tho belief and still believe that the member present have
a legal right to otgatiUe this bouse ; we nto further under the belief that
members who have failed and refused t come in aud take Ihe oath of
office, thereby havo vacated their seats, and 'we have waited aud hoped
that those members wonM see Ihe error ot their ways and come and assist
us in a constitutional organization of this Itoueo; but we have also taken
pains within the past few days to secure the advice and opinion ot one of
the beet authorities in tho I'nitcd States upon the quest lou ht ha been
troubling us, and I see in the Stutctmian this morning a telegram from
Hon Geo. F. Hoar of Massachusetts, one ol the best known institutional
lawyers in the United States ol America, and he it considered THK autho
ity upon all queattona of organization of legislative Unties and matters ol
that kind." vllere he read the dispalhes ot Senator Hoar to Senator
Mitchell and to Ovms A. I!pli "From that, Mr. Speaker, Ueo. K.
Hoar is acknowledged and admitted by both purtiea to this hold-up to be
an authority on the ouestioi.s at.iestie.'ntid na authority to w hich each side
bas decided to appeal It seems to me from tins that these member have
no longer any excuse (or staying out and refusing to uomo in and join in the
organisation of this house ; there is no excuse for them, and it setms t me
thev should all be governed by this opinion, given by such high and ac
cepted authority to all sides interested, and that ther. is no longer need of
delay in such organiaition. If we are h meat men we should abide by that
decision aud act accordingly, and I now give notice that the sitting mem
bers will proceed to an organisation of this house ut 2 o'clock this after
noon, and I invite all who havo been holding up this bans to appear and
assist in such organization, otherwise the responsibility of not appearing is
upon thomselves. If they IkmI us fuirlv and honestly on the Moor of this
bouse, we shall pocket our defeat and go to work like men under whatever
speaker they may elect. If n , then we shall elect our own speaker and
proceed with the business of the people of this state as becomes our dutv,
a their representatives. We havo consulted the highest authority in the
L'nited State and according to his decision we have a right to proceed aud
organize with these members whu are present and it becomes our duty to
do so, and w should no longer hesitate to make a commencement, and I
invite all membdra lo bj prevent and assist at the orginizitioa this after
noon. I thank you, Mr. Speaker."
CARRIED OUT AS OUTLINED.
Salkm, Or., Jan. 21. Two o'clock was
the hour set by the Benson men to or
ganiza the lower house with a majority
numbering 31, and the entire program
was carried out, with no friction. At 1
o'clock every seat in the lobby as pre
empted, and before? there were hun
dreds of epectatots in the gallery aud
corridors, preventing the ingress and
esreca of persons who were entitled to
be inside the rail.
On calling the roll at 2 oMock by
Temporary tweaker Davis 3 were found
present.
The announcement ol the result was
followed by a pause of some moments.
Then Somers of Linn claimed the speak
er's attention and asked that the eer-geant-at-araas
remove all persona not
members or officers of the house or rep
resentatives of the press, iina woiiiu
have been a berculeau job, and the at
tempt to carry it, out would probably
have provoked trouble. Several mem
bers remonstrated with Somers, who did
not, however, withdraw his motion, but
the epeaker did not put it to tho hou-e.
Then the first formal move of iho Ben
aon men was made by Brown. He left
his desk and came forward to a position
just in front of the speaker's rostrum.
Brown addressed Speaker Davis, and,
being recognized, began a speech. He
said :
"We bare eat here for 10 days iu our
effort to organize this house, But tue
rulings of the temporary speaker have at
11 times been adverse to the possibility
of organization. If he has been consci
entious in bis ruling, I respect him."
Brown then went on to recite the his
tory of the failure to organize aud, con
cluding with the statement that it wan
now, "oar earnest purpoeo and stead
fast resolution" to. proceed with the
business, offered a formal resolution m
follows :
"Resolved, That the present tempor
ary speaker, E. J. Davis, be, and he is
hereby removed, and that Dr. J. N.
Smith be, and he is hereby elected
speaker pro tern, in Lis stead. That h.
R. Lake and F. S. Stanley be and they
are hereby appointed a committee to es
cort Dr. J. N. Smith to the speaker's
chair."
The reading of the resolution was
greeted with great cheers by the bbby.
Brown raised his hand in protest, and
appealed to the spectators to keep si
lence. "We have serious business to do," he
said. "Mr. Speaker," interrupted Rid
dle of Douglas, addressing Davis, "I do
sire , to enter an emphatic protect
against this proceeding. I am againBt
this resolution. We have heard some
opinions read on this floor from Senator
Hoar ot Massachusetts, and from Sena
tor Thurston of Neb'aska. It is imperti
nence on the part ot the senator from
Nebraska to offer unsolicited advice as
to what we should do io Oregon, and our
answer should be in the language of the
great and only Pennoyer, 'You attend to
your business and we'll attend to ours.'
I desire to read the opinion of our own
great constitutional lawyer, the lion.
George II. Williams, who I believe has
a better knowledge of the provisions ol
constitution than either Hoar or Thurs
ton. It is as follows:
" 'lion. Joseph Simon, Salem, Or.;
Your telegram received.' I can only
give you an offhand impression, which
is, ti effect permanent organization of
the house it is necessary that two-thirds
of tbe members elected be preuent. Sec
tion 2. article 4, of the constitution, de
fine ii house by fixing the number of
whi i it shall consist. I suppose, there
fore, that the word house elsewhere in
the constitution, means what it does in
this section. Doubtless, where there is
no other rule, the majority of a body
constitutes a quorum. But if any other
rule is fixed by the constitution govern
ing tbe body, such rule of course pre
vails. Light is thrown upon this ques
tion by provision that if a quorum being
in attendance, either bouse shall fail to
effect organization within five days
thereafter, members of the Iiouho bo fall
ing shall be entitled to no compensation.
It seems to me that "quorum" bore
means two-thirds of the members elected
to the house falling to orgauie, I be
lieve that iu tbe 3tL coiigrt'BH, wheu
some of tho Southern states refused to
elect repreetit'ilivet, it was decided that
a majority of the members elected to Ihe
house constituto quorum, within the
rucMiipg of the constitution of the
United Slaies. I have no knowledge of
any oilier precedent upon this qnesllon
in congress, otherwise than I know that
whenever a call U made of either home,
and it is foimJ that a majority of
the members arc not present, business is
suspended for went of a quorum,'
"No such precedent as is here pro
posed was ever established in Oregon,"
continued Kiddie. "Our state senate
oik e attempted to enact a law with lees
thau a constitutional quoiu.ii, nnd it
was declared invalid by the supreme
coart. I desire, tfore the roll is called,
to ba allowed Io withdraw."
Riddle then retire I.
"I will ak Ihe speaker to put the
question," said Brown, "although I real
ize it is a delicate matter f r him'"
"This whole prodding is out of or
der," replied Dvis, coolly, "and I de
cline to put the queltion."
"I will tlwu put the question," contin
ued Brown. "All who favor the resolu
tion will fay, aye." There wan a loud
chorus o? ayes. "Those oppoeed, no,"
several yell of "No" came from the
lobby.
"Carried," cried Brown.
Speaker Davis calmly watched the
progreee cf events and said nothing.
Stanley and Lake were Ihon called uron
by Brown to d. i their duty, und escort
S'tiith to the chair. Lake was in the
cloak room, and theie was considerable
delay, while the crowd waited breath
lessly. Lake appeared and Smith was
marched up betide Davis between Lake
and Stanley. When he wbh opposite the
speaker, Smith, who is a very small
man, iicrvcuiily extended his hand to
Davis, who is '1'iite tall, und there was
an awkward handshake. The crowd
breathed a tih ol relief and nuiled.
Theie was to be no tragedy. It was just
plain coiiimly.
Standing betide the speaker's chair,
Lake pret-cnted Smith to the houpo as its
temporary bpeukcr. Smith then asked
the further pleaKUie of tho Louse, and
Someis, l.o appeared to be floor man
ager uf the crguiiiasers, promptly got on
his foe-t and rend a printed resolution re
moving Tt-mpurary Chief Clerk Moady
and appointing R. R. Hays, the Benson
caucus nominee. Smith put the motion
and it was declared carried, and Hays
took a place besides t'leik Moody.
ThoniaH (A Multnomah then called for
the report of (he committee on creden
tial. Cleik Hays responded that he
could find no report.
"Do I understand that Clerk Moody
declines to furnish Ihe report?" de
manded Thomas.
"I have ifi.i.l'i no declinatiou or aflirm-
a'ion." rcspoLded Moody. "Whatever
I am directed to do by Speaker Davis,
I'll do."
"All these proceedings are out of or
der," Btid Sp taker Davi. "I direct tbe
chief clerk not to surrender tho retort. "
TlKjinai then announced that he bad
a report reudy. He submitted a report
feigned by himself and Stanley, ol the
original committee on credentials, de
claring :;i member tntitled to teats.
Tlieso included all of those preecot, ex
cept Speaker Davie. The report wa de
clared adopted.
Crawford then read a resolution ap
pointing nrown, Hudson and (j rathe a
committee to wait upon the governor,
the hocretary of slato or the supreme
court and ask that thi oath ot office be
adminiKtored. Tbe committee retired
and soon reappeared, accompanied by
Chief Justice Moore, who swore in the
members. Conn then offered a resolu
tion to proceud to- permanent organiza
tion, and it carried.
l or Speaker, Somers placed iu nomina
tion If. L, lien ton of Josephine. Clerk
Hays started to call (ho regular bouse
roll, but Crawford objected, and the roll
of the members sworn In was submitted.
Benson got 2H votes, Benson, Gratke and
MiHeiier voting blank. Speaker Davis'
name was not called.
Crawford aud VeueeH were appointed
to escort Benson to the chair. Smith va
cated the chair beside Davis, aud Ben-
sou, atsuuiiug the gavel, made a short
speech ol lliauki. Chief Justice Moure
then swore him In. The following otll-
cere were then elected :
Assistant chUf clerk, II. 8. Jordan;
reading cleik, Frank Mutter; calendar
clerk, K. W, Uailletl; tergeant-at-arms,
II. W. Murphy; doorkeeper, tf. W.
White (colored).
These were the Benson caucus nomi
nee a. They wore sworn In by Justice
Moore. Bridget presented a resolution
empowering the speaker to appolut three
pages, a mailing dork and one u(airs
doorkeeper, and It was adopted,
Thomas offered a resolution rx'ending
the usual courtesies to newspaper men,
and that, too, was adopted.
Theie was some discussion as to Ihe
proper way to notify the wnate id the
house organisation, but it was dually
settled by adoption ol a reoluti-nt by
Brown, appointing a committee cl two
from the senate and three from Ihe
houao to notify the governor that the
senate an I the houso were organiacd and
ready (or business.
On motion ol Brow n, Ihe Benson house
thea adjourned till 10 o'clock tomorrow.
Speaker Davis had meanwhile quietly
been reading a new sprttr. Ho watched
(he Benso' men and spectators slowly
file their way out and then, reciguiziiig
Riddle, w ho had returned and undo a
motiou to adjjurn, he put tho motion
and declared the house adjourned till
tt;30 tomorrow.
