.1 THREATEN ED CHANGE.
The tjuestion of whether or not eena
. tors ehal) be elected by a direct vote of
the people ia one which has thrust itself
of late upon the public attention. The
motives that prompted the makers of
the constitution to provide as they did
regarding how members of the upper
branch, should be chosen, are well un
derstood and the wisdom of the plan for
the conditions as they then existed, con
ceded. But circumstances have changed
and the belief has become general that
the Benate has ceased to represent the
people, and serves too well the purposes
of class legislation. It was intended as
a check upon popular opinion expressed
through the house of representatives,
bat it has proven too much of a check.
It is probable that the makers of the
constitution were influenced by the
scenes then being enacted in revolution
ary France, and saw the danger of too
great sovereignty in the people, who,
when once aroused, dared fearful deeds.
But the conditions which confronted
Prance just before the revolution will
never exist in America, or if they do,
the progress of civilization counts for
nothing.
The United States senate has become
a body of rich men. The honor of a seat
in its chamber is denied to a man of
moderate means, unless he go with
certain purpose to serve, In return for
.which he is given the financial aid of
corporations. The senators, with their
six-year terms, are out of touch with the
people, and the knowledge that their
election lies in the hands of a small body
of men, open to influences, personal and
otherwise, makes them, unless they are
statesmen of large mould, unsympathetic
with the voters, whose servants by right
they are.
- Tne election of senators by a popular
vote may not be an early realization
The means that now are used at the
etate legislatures to elect United States
senators will be employed to de
feat such an innovation, but should
this national body continue to loose the
confidence of the people, as it has done
ia the last few years, the same fate
awaits it as does the English house of
lords.
The common people are after all the
masters, and with the dissemination of
knowledge and the innocalation of high
principles of citizenship, the country is
safe in their bands.
The death of State Senator Weisinger
at Frankfort has a pathetic interest be
cause of his last words to a colleague.
Weisinger was an uncompromising foe to
free silver, and with bis dying breath
admonished a fellow senator to "stand
firm ; never vote for Blackburn and free
silver." With this man belief did not
come from any party policy, bat was a
deep-seated conviction that the free
silver agitation was a menace to the
country, which by his last words be
showed he loved so well. . Kentucky has
lost by JWeWnger's death. .

LIKE ENTERPRISES.
Reference baa, frequently been made
to the enterprise of Pendleton citizens
in establishing a wool scouring mill at
that place. Their faith has been re
warded, we are glad to learn, by a ten
per cent dividend declared upon the
capital stock of the concern. When the
scouring mill was established it was
started as a means of attracting atten
tion to Pendleton and bringing growth
and capital. . All these ends have been
served, and furthermore the men who
put in their money are receiving good
interest.
The starting of the D. P. & A. N. Co.
by the business men of The Dalles is a
parallel case to the building of the
scouring mill at Pendleton. Both were
established, not so much as money-making
institutions, as to aid in the devel
opment of the respective sections ; but
both have yielded direct returns, which
can be measured by dollars and cents,
as well as indirect, which are incalcula
ble. Pendleton is pushing on and seek
ing to establish other enterprises. : We
are waiting for the locks to be through,
when it is expected that this city will
double its population without any efforts
of itself.
What The Dalles needs is not to waste
nerve force speculating ivhen the locks
will be through, but to seek to attract
foreign capital for investment in our
city. No better place can be found on
the coast for such purposes. The growth
of The Dalles to a city of considerable
size is only a matter of time; but the
day can be hastened by well-directed
efforts upon the part of our citizens.
THE "X,OCKS."
Onward, speed onward, oh time in your flight,
And put tne "lock question out of my sight!
I'm weary, so weary of hearing folks Hay:
"The locks will be through at no distant day."
I've heard this story for years and years;'
I've heard it through smiles, I've heard it thro'
tearn ;
I've heard it over and over Benin ;
I've heard it from women, I've heard it from men.
The date had been fixed many times in the past,
But none was so sure as the one fixed last.
Now the time has gone by, an-i the work not done.
And thiy want more money irom Washington.
The con tractor has not fulfilled his vow,
And I think he's gone to Washington now.
I wish he would go there and forever stay.
For I'm so tired of hearing of "Colonel" i)ay.
The locks will be finished nometime I know,
But it seems to me the work is slow ;
Or else the reports have all been untrue
That they would soon be ready for boats to pass
through.
Was it a jest, or was it a fake
That the con true tois made this awful mistake?
Or did they try to fulfill their vow
That has made people doubt them so now.
The work will go on, but It seems quite fnnny ,
Thai, they are still asking for more money.
And some of the work is not safe at all,
And they fear at some time it may fall.
And now they have it to do over again.
They certainly must have been queer men !
To discover this mistake when so late,
Even after they had put in the last gate.
Onward, speed onward, and hasten the dav
When the locks will be opened, and people can
sav:
"Our dream has come true, we are free, we are
nee;
The Columbia is open now to the sea.
