The members recognize the . , The high protective tariff Is Injur- direct primary tfs the one, espe- jous 10 tarmers, .as tuey iiuvo uia covered,,but also to a great majority of all sorts and conditions' of peo ple. Income and Inheritance taxes are reasonable and, just. .A parcels post and postal savings banks, and extended rural delivery, are needed, and a congress' that does not act fa vorably on them fails In Its known duty and Is .not truly representa tive. It acts in the Interest of & privileged and predatory few. Direct legislation in" states and election of t'nited States senators by the peo ple are progressive and reformative treasures that "the people should In sist upon .as necessary to good gov ernmentl - , ' '-r-" " ' " Congress will pay little attention to these farmers' declarations. It chiefly listens to and obeys the trusts and corporations and finan cial and Industrial moguls. ' The. nec essary thing therefore : for ..these farmers, and millions of voters who agree with them, is to vote but of office next fall and thereafter every congressman not entirely favorable to their propositions, and to elect in their places only men positively cial measure of the farmer and other good government' citizen,, and with complete unity and the discipline of compact organization, they will fight for it wij.h an aggressiveness that cannot be resisted.' There is no use to tell such , men that the assembly means no harm to the direct primary. for they know better. " There .will be no use for assembly ites and as sembly candidates to prate about friendship for the primary law,, for the farmers will know, that it Is a falBe friendship.' ; v ' , - There was possible chance for the assembly to succeed If the farmers could have been humbugged into the belief that'lt would harmonlie with the direct primary, but as events are proving, they know already that the success of the onexmeans the death of the other. " It would be as easy to make a farmer believe that white Is J)lack or that the earth Is flat as to convince him now that the as sembly and. direct primary can be worked together. It .would be as easy to persuade him that wheat Is potatoes or that a rutabaga Is cabbage as to make 1 him believe an assembly candidate or the Portland machine Is friendly to the direct prl mary. He knows that the principle of the assembly is in deadly hos tility to the principle of the direct primary, and that if one lives the other must die. It was these farm' rs who compelled' the adoptlbn of the initiative and . referendum. . It was they who passed the direct pri mary law with a whoop. They passed the franchise tax la-w, and the cor rupt practices law. They are In over whelming majority in the state, and. they are not, ' without a desperate battle,, going back to the ring rule, the mobs and the disgusting meth ods of packed, conventions. The at tempt to force them to accept the old regime will rend Oregon from border to border. if it is attempted j In the name of Republicanism, it will split that party wide open, an the blame will be on those who In- Bist upon the assembly folly. The handwriting Is on the wall and it is political lunacy not to be able to see it. anything the president can-do to make those two' wort hies do some thing useful to. the couhtry, It will be delightfully interesting to see him make the thrilling demonstra tion. ii'- 't"'-.- COMMENT.

A per fect erase for things ' Russian seems to have broken out and Russian stiics predominate to a startling de gree in women's fashions. Furs, vel- ' vets, barbaric 'Jewels, bold embroideries and other characteristic Russian trim- ; mlngs and ornamentations dominate and Tolntoy smocks, czarevitch tunics, Cos sack hats . towering aloft and mujile m turbans enswathlng the, ears are feat-, ' ures of midwinter styles. - . The most notable feature of this Rus sian dress mode Is the tunlo, . Every- where the tunlo predominates. It is of , chiffon, of cloth of gold or silver, of ,. Jetted or beaded gauze, of net, of satin, and falls over frocks of every Imagin able ' material.

Born and reared large of some of the big trusts and monopolies in their dealings with the administration, congress and governors, he becomes subject to criticism. In a sense he has become a public man. He makes himself the entertainer and companion of president, cabinet officers and lead ing statesmen. He does not do this unselfishly or patriotically, at least the public cannot so view his activ ity, but as the representative of cer tain great business Interests whose activities and Intentions are mostly inimical to the public welfare, to the due prosperity of the masses. Mr. Hammond is presumably yet in the pay, and very large pay, of the Guggenhelms, with whom are as sociated Mr. Rockefeller and Mr Morgan. What is it that" these em lnent financiers and- business men want of the administration and con gress and governors ana associa tions? What is it that Mr. Hammond is paid to get? To what purpose is his influence exerted? Undoubtedly In the main he is working for what are pretty well described as the priv ileged: and' predatory classes, and against the rest of the people, whom these classes seek in various ways to plunder. These great business and financial combinations have a far richer and more important mine in Washing ton, D. C, than any of them ever had in Colorado, Alaska or else where. Mr, Hammond has trans ferred the scene of his expert inves ligations and operations from the ac tual mines of the west to this great mine la the national capital. In the former work he was commendable admirable; in the latter he becomes open to the suspicion of being a pub lic enemy, and a persoaVho does not deserve to be a prime favorite of statesmen.

Malheur Is a French word meaning misfortune; bad luck;, disaster. Literally it means "evil hour." Jn French Its meaning Is opposite to that of the word "bonheur." . The or igin of the name as applied to this river I have obtained through the courtesy of TV C. Elliott of Walla Walla, Wash., who Is an historical student,, well versed In the history of "Oregon and Washing ton. He has a copy of the manuscript journal of Peter Skene Ogden, the orig inal yof which is In the possession of the Hudson's' xay company at Its head quarters In London, England. In Ogden's Journal of his second, trip to the Snake river country In 1825-6, under date of February 14, 1826. la the following entry; , "Started early; sent my two Snake hunters out with six traps each - and (ifnrcrM TnHii.

To the Editor of The Journal! aee that some of our Democratic friends are putting themselves out of the way to, take stock in the Plnchot-Balllnger controversy. While Mr. Pinchot comes nearer being right than does Mr. Ballinger, it is a Republican row,' and all Democrats should keep out of It The Cannon Aldrlch crowd will come out victors In the end, and it Is proper that they should. The Republican party as an or ganization has- been In partnership with the Interests of Wall street for more than 40 years, and It la wrong for any one to disturb' this relationship. If the men who call themselves In surgents are really seeking the good of their country, let them come into the Democratic parry, where there is some prospect Of doing something-. If Pin- chot. La Follette, and their associates undertake to remain In and reform the Republican party, they will simply share the fate of Horace Greelef. Peter Cooper, James B. Weaver, and Henry M. Teller. If this government ever be comes In reality Just what our fathers intended H should be, and Just what It is capable of being, it will be b tha Democratic party, and under the direc tion or sucn men as W. J. Bryan. Chamn Clark, John Bharn Williams. Charlea' A. Culberson, and George E. Chamber lain. . - -.. The young men of this country should be made to understand that the funda mental principles of the two dominant! parties are radically different. They should know that Republicanism means government In the Interest 1 of the strong and the wealthy, and that Dera- pcracy means government In the In terest of all. They should know that the real Republican believes that au thority should come down -to the neo- ple from some specially favored class, while the real Democrat believes that all authority should come up from the people. STEPHEN JEWELL. - . , . r 'if - , . . Constantinople A ". City of Illusion. By A. B. Paine, In Outing- .Magazine. - I suppose there is no more beautiful clty from the ontslde arid 6 more dis heartening: city, from the Inside than Constantinople. ;' From the outside It ' Is all fairyland and enchantment. From the Inside It is all grime and wretched all my trappers In motion; we encamped! on Rlvier Malheur (unfortunate river) so called on account of goods and furs hid here, discovered and stolen by the natives. Cervalse killed two small deer, three beaver." After a very careful study of the matter Mr. Elliott Is of the opinion that the name Malheur was given to the river by Donald McKenzle, one of the officers of the Hudson s Bay com pany, who, previous to Ogden's trip in 1826, had charge of a party of trap pers In that part of the country. Mc Kenzle had maintained a temporary trading post, fer about a year, at the mouth of the layette river, a snort distance from the moutlf of the Malheur river. The entry In Ogden's Journal in dicates that the river had been named before he arrived there. Malheur county is now bounded:' On the north by Baker, county and the Snake river; on the east by the Snake river and the state of Idaho; on the south by the state of Nevada; and on the west by Harney county and a small portion of Grant county.' " Its county seat Is, .Vale." "'". Following Is the legal description of the county's boundaries:1 ',' "Beginning at a point on th boun- ST KU I i One of the most striking' dress feat- urea of the present season In Now York Is the velvet ' blouse bordered all ' around with fur and belted at the waist line. According to Russian notions a tunlo. belted In at the waist becomes ' blousd,no matter what Its length. Some of the Russian blouses fall quite to the knees; others extend only a few Inches below the belt, but below the belt they always do extend, for the bodice and skirt combination has no place in ttussian consideration. . . The velvet blouses with fur borders ' so fashionable Just now are supposed to Imitate the peasant "Smock affected by Tolstoy and fasten down one side of' the front in the Russian fashion, ''with baggy lines and broad shoulders ex tending Into the' sleeves. The fur bor der goes all around the bottom and runs up the edge of the side fastening and around the wrists of the sleeves and Is usually the fashionable skunk. These blouses may or may not be worn' over velvet skirts, but the eklrt, jot whatever material, Is always In the same color aa the velvet blouse coat.

Sir Francis Bacon, of wtiom Podb, said: "Lord Bacon was the greatest genius that England, Ot perhaps any other country, ever pro duced." ' In early life Bacon manifested su perior powers and ardent love of know! edge. His' precocious Intelligence was so great, and his sedateness so remark able that Queen Elizabeth took pleas ure, in calling him her "young lord keeper." At the age of thirteen he en tered " the ' University or camDriage, which he quitted In two years with a low opinion of the course of study pur sued there. '...' -v y"--'M r'-:''y' At an early age Bacon undertook the study of law, and was admitted to . the bar when.only twenty-one years of age, and two years afterward -entered par liament His radical methods Incurred the enmity of Elizabeth, and he lost his friend and protector, and consequently his political career was somewhat blighted. However, with the advent of the reign of James . J a new oppor tunity opened to Bacorl, and by paying court to the king he made rapid prog ress. He was knighted ' In 1608. Yet even up to' the time of his,, death tn 162Q his. political life (was, on the whole, notj an achievement of which he could well be proud. His glory is his literary 'and scientlfio work. " ; In the history- of literature Bacon is mainly known -as the writer of the "Essays"; but in the history of Science, logio and philosophy, the chief Interest which attaches to his name Is that ot a reformer of scientlfio methods. Ma caslay, the historian, "says of him; "Ba con moved the Intellects which have moved the world." What Bacon says of Plato in his greater work. "Novum Or ganum," Is preeminently true of him self: 'Ha was a man of sublime genius, who took a view of everything- as from a high rock."' ,fV:.-r'-:-,; Maxims such' as these: "Man is the servant and interpreter of nature,?

Deep toned embroideries are combined with red er black leather and wonder ful clasps of beaten gold and silver and these new Russian belts are a conspicu ous Item of the costume, for they are extremely wide, ranging from three to six inches across. Jewels and enamels belong to the Russian girdle, from the clasp-at the yoke line to,thecurious fastenings used down the side ' front Dark metals, looking like oxidized silver and oM iron, are mingled In Jeweled clasps for the back and front of loose fitting girdles. A barbarlo ornament of dull silver or gold, set with enamel or colored stones. Is the buckle most worn. It Is , reported that Paris has again been conquered by the separate blouse, and when one considers the . newest models, whether they be of linen, challls or of the more intricate combination of lace and chiffon, there is little doubt . concerning their Justified claims, i They are so eminently convenient that Amer ican women have always clung- to those friendly adjuncts to morning- and after noon toilettes, and the sanction of the French will undoubtedly, Increase their popularity. It is rumored that in Paris the fash ionable dance frock, which has proved even . more acceptable and , convenient than was anticipated, will grow shorter as th6 season advances. While this rage for the sensibly abbreviated skirt has not extended to the reception gown nor the at-home frock, it has penetrated among such stuffs as rose petals and rainbows are made of it No material, no matter how diaphanous, need be re served for .the long reception gown; short frocks demand all- the elegance of the season. The debutante's dresses are more beautiful than ever.' Silver has touched Tier white frock and rested there so persistently that the combi nation has. almost become an uniform. White satin, pure and simple, has de clined In favor. It Is now draped with the Inevitable silver gauze, and again the same moonlight effect Is produced by bilver tulle over crepe meteor. A favorite hat for afternoon wear is a combination of tulle and fur. Indeed. the hats are i amenable to the latest treatment which majf suggest itself to the, mind of the great designers. Cream colored velvet for the full crown of a toque has been advantageously "used On a fur prim. A certain relief from the dark colors "so popular Is thus given, but the band of skunk very cleverly keeps the- trying- white away from the face. . FLORENCES 'FAIRBANKS.
