Of course, this does not end the con- test between the Hill 'and Harriman interests, for an appeal will, doubtless be takeq to higher-eou.ft. but it is to "be hoped that in the meantime work ; on the Portland ikeatilejrill,not be - prevented by an injunction ot other wise, t i: ; :. ..-.

If It Jiad not been for Mr. Hill we might have waited a good while yet for a j competing and developing jroad. ! ' While Judge McCredie'a decision , may not be final, it is not to be ex pected that it will be reversed, and the - prospect is that the work of building the Portland & Seattle will go right ahead.

ELECTION OF SENATORS. rlOMMENTING - on thg retent , - election- m Oregon" the Min- neapotis Journal ssyst ' 4 The election by the legislature is the . only- essential thing, however, when it comes to seating tr senator at ' Washington. As long as the federal . constitution remains unchanged, the senators must be elected fry vote of the state legislatures, and no-other ou cai bar force tad effect with congress. Oregon's scheme is all right for getting around the federal constitution. It has ail the sanction of state law,' but is really extra-legal as no state law haa any business reg ulating the manner of electing a sen atorr If the legislature should choose to elect some other man than Bourne, there would be no redress for him. The popular vote Just taken would have no weight with the aenate. The Oregon scheme, the practice -of sev eral soutnern states, and tfte Am nesota action rn " nominating . a sen atorial fandidate at the state conven tion, are all devices, to tike power sway -irom the legislaturewhich. has resided theri too long. , It did not take 4he nation long toiridd!ihe dream of a deliberative electoral col lege for the selection of a president. but it has taken us. 118 years to get around to the point Of nullifying a state legislature power to choose a senator." i . : Of course everybody understands that the legislature must elect the senator, and that On its formal action rests the title to his seat, but the peo ple cafl instruct the legislature so positively and emphatically ' that it Would no more dare to disregard the people's, instruction by their ballots than the members of the electoral col lege would dare to vote for anyone else for president except the people's choice a$ the .polls. We think that even if the "constitution be not amend ed the states will generally adopt the Oregon plan and make it effective, as in fact several of them do already. FOURTH OF JULY. " rTfOMORROW is the day -when I r the orator of all grades and ' degrees of talent and celebrity will expatiate upon the greatness and glory of our country, and with rhet ortca resonance ' praise, our institu tions a.nd dilate upon our wonderful achievements and advancement It is a large theme, and thousands of or ators can Aini plenty to say upon it without repeating precisely the. same facts and sentiments. There ; are some. evil things to condemn some reforms to be -wrought out, bufit is better on such an occasion to look on the brighter side, and, depict what haa been and irpraiseworthy and encour- aging. : No such country ever existed, or Iyer can exist filsewhereS-this will be, in population, production re sources and opportunities. Its vast extent, its generally equable climate, its rich soil, its great variety of natural wealth and resources conspire to make the United States 'the great-j est and most prosperous and powerful of nations. While its political institu- tions may not be altogether perfect, they are designed to guard and pro tect the people in the enjoyment of the greatest degree of freedom con sistent with a sufficiently stable government"-Patriotism may not appear oa the surface to any great extent ia the piping times of peace, yet it exists, and .the average American loves his cojmtry,is- proud of it, end-if need be would make, sacrifices in its' behalf. So let the great Declaration be re read tomorrow in . thousands of places; let the bands play and joyful noises be made; let the people take a holiday and rejoice that they live in so goodly-sHandrandire-resoTve to help make it aa even better country. No fair-minded man can read with out indignation, the. malignant attack made this morning by the Oregonian on Dr. E. P.
