The very govern ment of the country is not more nice ly poised in the law, nor better found ed in the art of preparedness, than these colossal combines. Their legal servants are better paid and the study cf evasion, clrcumlocatlon and final defiance of restrictive law, the In variable code laid down and most faithfully pursued by those same ser vants. They are not standing for Jus tice, for equality before the law; that is a mere fragment of the work laid out for their attorneys. The cold, unscrupulous, critical negation of law Is the first principle of their legal de partments, and the successful ser vant there, Is the cherished factor, as well as the best paid, in all the al minlstrative propaganda of these im mense and arrogant concerns. Never in all our history was the truth of David Dudley Field's aphor ism, "We have too much law," more keenlv natent than at this hour The only refuge the Oregon legis lature has, is In the framing of a loss, will have sharp bonrini; upon n icrtuln number of transactions of this sort In thU county, since tho forms I Word iiml prove? eniplo.wd tn nil tho counties of the stnto.

It may pass a re ciprocal demurrage law, and create a commission to apply it with all rig orous justice; but the railways will overmatch It by some miserable expe dient that may cost them millions. The cost is nothing to them so long as an offending law is made inoperative, In effective, innocuous. They will meet a demurrage edict by simply saying to the shipper, "Yes, we'll give you a car, instantly, aud carry your stuff to the end of our lines, and no further; we must keep our cars In our own ter ritory in order to meet this demurrage ! regulation, and you muat arrange for the trans-shipment of your freight on the lines beyond; we are not exchang ing business now; it's up to you to see your stuff through; we will not even route it for you." And the ship per will be Infinitely worse off than ever, but the railway people will be within the statute, and they can maintain themselves, while the people are seeking new remedies for the evil they, themselves, have wrought, and losing incalculably every hour. The people have been far too gener ous with the railways. They have given over the forces of commercial law to them utterly, and they are be ginning to realize and recognize, the enemy they hav debllerately enemy the have deliberately equipped to undo them. vene to disparage, delay nor deprecate the real advantage of having, and us ing, this sorely needed adjunct, with in the contracted limit. o EDITORIAL 8 A LAD. third.
