OUR NEW SENATOR.
The long agony is over, the legislature
has adjourned, and ex-Secretary of
State George W. McBride is elected
United States senator to succeed Hon:
J. N. Dolph. The choice does not meet
with general approval, but we believe
that that fact is due to the surprise
occasioned by the election of McBride,
who was a horse so dark that he had
not been considered bv the public. If
Mr. AlcBride's physical condition per
mits, he will prove an energetic senator,
We give below a brief sketch of the
new senator, taken from the Oregonian
of yeeterday :
George Washington McBride is a na
tive son of Oregon, having been born in
Yamhill county in 1854. He is a son of
Dr. James McBride, who was well
known as one of the earliest and eturdi
est pioneers of this state. Mr. Mc
Bride was educated in the common
schools and at Willamette university,
Salem, and the Christian college (now
the state normal school) at Monmouth.
Jn 1867 his parents left Yamhill county
and located at St. Helens, Columbia
county, which place he has made his
home ever since. In 1882 he was elected
to the Oregon house of representatives,
and was subsequently chosen speaker of
that body. In 1886 Mr. McBride was
nominated by the republicans for secre
tary of state, and was elected. His pop
ularity is attested by the fact that the
two principal nominees on the ticket
with him governor and treasurer were
defeated. . Mr. McBride performed the
duties of his office eo satisfactorily that
he was re-nominated by acclamation in
1890, and re-elected by a handsome ma
jority. He served out the full term and
retired the first of the present year to
give way to his successor.
Mr. McBride comes from an old and
very well-known Oregon family. He
has several brothers, who have achieved
leading positions in the law and in med
icine. One brother is Judge T. A. Mc
Bride of the fifth judicial district. An
other brother is John R. McBride, for
merly congressman from this state, and
now a prominent lawyer of Spokane.
A third, Dr. McBride, is a leading phy
sician in Wisconsin.
It was Mr. McBridp's, early purpose
to become a lawyer, and with that end
in view, after leaving school, he entered
the law office of Judge J. C. Moreland of
this city. He remained three years
but during a great part of the time he
suffered much frqm bad health and did
not make the progress he desired. Mr,
McBride did not, however, give up his
design until bis physical condition ren
dered it absolutely necessary. He then
engaged in mercantile pursuits in Col
nmbia county, where he had large
property interests. During much of the
time he was secretary of state Mr. Mc
Bride battled with physical weakness
but his will is strong, and he was able
to be almost constantly at his post of
duty and personally to administer the
manifold duties of the office. It is well
known that the office of secretary of
etate has never been conducted more
satisfactorily to the people than during
Mr. McBride's two terms. Recently he
made a journey to New York for the
purpose so it was stated at the time
ot placing himself in the bands of emi
nent physicians, it appears with very
satisfactory results.
M. McBride is often called an "Ore
gon boy." With the exception of two
years spent in San Francisco, he has al
ways lived in Oregon. Personally he
possesses a charming address, which has
doubtless had much to do with his po
litical success. Mr. McBride i9 not
married.
A MAXIMUM RATE BILL.
The $20,000 item in the annronriat.inn
bill was cut out of that document before
it passed, so that although the railroad
commission was not abolished, no money
was provided for paving its members,
The position is a fat one, and it is quite
probable, the old commissioners will un
dertake to bold over and get paid by
the next legislature. This would be
dangerous thing lor them to attempt, as
the chances will be largely against them
getting money. There is nothing to
prevent them holding over, however
and taking their pay from the railroad
companies. We believe the latter
would willinely pay their salaries for
the protection and benefit they derive
irom tne board. A rotten bridge, a de
cayed trestle, or a dangerous embank
ment or cut are all right as long as the
commissioners pronounce them so; and
the roads cannot be compelled to fix
them or suffer punitive damages should
they kill a few dozen citizens through
gross negligence concerning these defec
tive portions of their roads.
The railroads have need of the com
mission, the public has not. What the
people want, and what, if they will do
their duty as citizens, they will have
two years from now, is a mu.xim.um rate
law, loth as to passengers and freight.
This is a republican government, and it
needs no useless commissions to stand
between the laws and the people. Let
the railroad companies be given a fair
maximum rate bill and then make them
obey it. That is all the people need,
and it won't cost a cent for commission
ers either.
Since the above was in type, we are
told by Mr. Mays, who has just returned
from Salem, that the $20,000 for the
railroad commissioners was put back in
the appropriation bill, and is a part of
it as passed.
Symptoms of kidney troubles should
be promptly attended to; . they are
nature's warnings that something is
wrong. Many persons die victims of
kidney diseases who could have been
saved had they taken proper precautions.
The prompt use of Dr. J. H. McLean's
Liver & Kidney Balm has saved thous
ands of valuable lives. If you have any
derangement of the kidneys try it

That the blood should perform its
vital functions, it is absolutely necessary
it should not only be pure but rich in
life-giving elements. These results are
best effected by the use of that well
known standard blood-purifier, Ayer's
Sarsaparilla.

If people would pay more attention to

That, of all known agents to accom

fact that once used, they are always in
favor. Their secondary effect is to keep
the bowels open and regular, not to fur
