When the Astorlan chlded the Ore avnlan for tlx vilification of the Unit ed State senate, tt did not under take to demonstrate that all senators an honest, or that there Is not room lor moral improvement In the upper house- of congress. The Astorlan i thoroughly appreciate that unscrupu lous men And their way Into the en at and that the duty of -many "h tA nnvate interest, rather than to those of ttie nation. The Oregonian ' classed all senators as brainless or blackguards, and fervently declared that abolition of the senate would be about the beat thing that could possibly happen country. Now, after viewing wKb. some con cern tine storm of protest that has fol lowed Its abuse of tfce senate because ef the shortcomings of a few members thereof, the Portland Journal becomes more reasonable, and left-handediy acknowtcdges the logic of the Im peachment It maintains, however, that the lower house Is the superior of the senate, because Us members are elected by the people, and, unlike senators, are directly responsible for their actions. "The average senator owes his election not to those he Is presumed to represent," . the Oregon bin avers, "but to some financial In teres or coterie of office-holders whose advantage and profit it is thought may be promoted by a vote In the senate and a voice elsewhere at Wash ington." This alleged truth1 Is said to explain the extensive Influence wield ed by our well-known friend Colonel Matuma at state legislative gather ings about the time United States sen ators are to be chosen. The statement that the lower house Is the intellectual peer of the senate la wholly at variance with the facts. The men who suecesfutly aspire to the United States senate are not ward heelers, but men of some standing in their respective communities. Nearly Ituif the members of the lower house j Hamburg, the leading seaport of the are elected from city districts, and ; continent of Europe, which, with a their "pull" is what counts In the ' population of 705,738, is slightly larger nominating conventions. Particularly i than Liverpool, and Munich, the capi ta the larger cities, these men are of tal of Bavaria, which had almost ex the rough type of politicians. Some jactly half a million population in 1900. brainy men are elected to the" lower Russia has three cities of the same t house, but three-fourths of the mem- class, St. Petersburg, which is about bers of that body are scarcely ever j the sire of Philadelphia, Moscow, beard of. '"The percentage of senators which had Just under -one million in who are not known to the country 1897. and Warsaw, the capital of Pol ls very small indeed. Th public does and, with 638,209. Vienna and Buda not extend lasting recognition to the Pesth are the two large cities of Au Inferior statesman. There are more j stria-Hungary, the farmer with 1, than 350 members of the lower house, j 605,647 residents,' being nearly as large yet the fame of that body comes , as Chicago, and the latter having a from a mere handful of statesmen. , little more than half a million popula The percentage of justly famous sen- tion. Italy has three cities of half a ators Is 10 times as great, , million population each, Naples. Rome The pranks of Colonel Mamma are and Milan; Spain has two, Madrid Indeed to be deplored, but the people and Barcelona. France has Paris, themselves are responsible In large j with a population of two millions and measure for the practice of buying , a half, the largest city on the conti- i legislatures. If state legislators could j nent, and the third in th world, but not be bought the colonel would go j Lyons, the second city of France, had sut of business; and If the people not reached the half million mark in did not elect dishonest legislators, the vm. Constantinople has an estimated state lawmakers would" not be pur- population of about eleven hundred chasable. It may be contended, on the ' thousand. Belgium's chief city, Brus bypothesis that all men are dishonest, sels, has about 670,000 population, and that the people are blameless, but the , Amsterdam, the metropolis of Hol Astorian believes that honest men land, has population of 523,557. van be found for public office, Just as j There are some large cities In other it believes that the senate of the Unit- parts of the world. Japan has Toklo ed Slates should not be branded as wltfh about a million and a half, and unholy and unclean because Dubois Oaska with 821,235 population. China happens to be of Inferior intelligence, Is supposed to have two cities of over or ft-ean oi extraordinary weajtu. The Oregonian refers to the wealthy senator who pollutes public .life with champagne and women, deducting that the Incidental expense causes men of modest means to hesitate be- fore entering the senatorial arena. Only a few days ago these timid crea tures (who, by the way, exist wholly in the Imagination of the Oregonian) were characterised as "pauper black guards." The Oregonian need not ex press concern for them, as few sena tors are given to the practice of sep arating themselves from their money tn any such promiscuous manner. ( Indeed, a seat In the senate reforms the morals of some men,' for, once a senator has qualified, he must art (he 5rt of a gentleman, no mutter how uncouth he may have keen at the time h entered public Hft. There is a dignified precedent for nata.-s lo follow; in the house there .s none. Among the abuses aller?d by the Oregon tan to be fostered by penal crs is that of the protective traitf. This in a policy to which the dominant par ty has long committed itself, mt for wMch the people of the nJw lave repeatedly expressed preference. Are senators elected by Republican legis latures to be characterised as "graft ers" because they uphold the greatest of all Republican principles? We think not. The Oregonian has long en deavored to define its nar'.y policy on the tariff question, and has faikd. Ergo, the senators nhi dlsagrocwith it on the tariff are 'grafters." The Oregonian, rather thai the Aaicnan refers to conditions not as they are but as it would have them. The senate may be slow, but. when it s considered tnat it is actfng for 75,000.00 people, H to not difficult to understand that It ought to be slow. The feverish haste of the lower house offset the deliberation of th senate, which latter body compels thorough considertaxion of pending measures. The Oregonian may be prepared to get along without the senate, but Ha remarkable view of the situation will not find popular approval. LARGEST CITIES IN THB WORLD. The United States has more Urge cities than any other country on earth. Taking cities of more than half a million population, the United States h'as New York. Chicago, Phila delphia, St. Louis, Boston and Balti more, to which should rightfully be added "Pittsburg, the population of Al legheny county, which Includes Pitts burg and Allegheny City, being 7T5, 05S In 1!XX. These seven cities are located at the largest centers of popu lation in the United State and no other country has so large a metro politan population found In cities of this class. These seven American cit ies have a population combined of nearly nine million persons. Great Britain baa five cities of .this class, only one of which, however, has over a million population. London, with 4,531063 inhabitants, is the most ; populous city in the world- Glasgow, the second .city of the United King dom, has a population of 760.423; Liv erpool. 683.176; Manhcester, 543,969, and Birmingham, 525,181 The total popu lation of these five British cities Is about seven millions. Germany has three cities of over 500.000 population each. Berlin, which fg approaching the two million mark. ;a million each, t'anton and Pekin. These are only estimates, however, and China may have numerous other cities of over 500,000. Calcutta is the ' largest city in India with a popula- Hon In 1901 of 1,121,664. Bombay's population last year was 770,834, and Madras' was 609,397. South America has two cities of this class, Buenos Ayres, whose population In 1895 was 663,854, and Rio de Janeiro, which In 1896 was credited with a population of 622,651. The largest cKy In Africa Is Carlo, which had a population of 570,062 In 1897, Mulbourne, the largest city of Australia, had a population of 400,900 in 1891 anil must have passed the half million mark In last year's Australian census. There are, ; therefore, about forty cKle In the civilised world with a population of halt million or more each, and of these th United State has fully one-seventh In number, and of approximately 40,000.000 Inhabitant of these forty cities, about 91000,000, as said before, are residents of the American cities.
