The Tomahawk, usually correct in its views, takes a shv from iis orbit this week on the subject of the Ore gon senatorial muddle, and, with the: Oregomau, asserts that the law is with Corbett, and that he is entitled to Ins seat In defending us posi tion the Tomahawk says: In the liirht, however, that the United States senate recognizes sine is governed by no law but of its own making, the question as to whether Mr. Corbett will be seated resolves itself into one of political expedi ency and not of equity to the state of Oregon or consistency on the part of that august body. The plea that there already exist precedents em bracing the Oregon case is childish. because there has never before been a case of just such complications in the history of this country. There ( have been cases where the legisla tures of states met, organized, passet laws and voted for a senator, but failed to agree, and in this failure tu agree the United States senate found room for the excuse and denied the applicant at its doors his seat. We deem such ruling on the part of the senate as highly consistent, because when a legislature has met, organized. passed laws and voted for, but failei to elect n, senator, the senate had no consistent right to seat any appointee, for such a failure bore the evidence upon its face that the delegated rep resentatives of such a state did not desire to have a United States sena tor. But when a legislature fails to meet, never organizes, never notifies the chief executive, never passes a law. and consequently never votes for a senator, what reasons are there for permitting even a faint compari son between the two? Obviousty none but such as may bo evolved from political necessity. The trouble seems to be that the papers dealing with this question are all hunting too much law, and avoid ing too much common sense. The draw the distinction between a legis lature that organizes and refuses to do its duty, and one that refuses to organizes for the purpose of avoid ing its .duty. There is a difference it is true the difference between twcedlc-dum and tweedle de. When the sticklers for lav.' concede the first proposition, the second follows, as a matter of course. The legislature cannot do indirectly what it cannot do directly, and its refusal to organ ize for the purpose of preventing the election of a senator is as much its deliberate act as though it had or ganized and then refused to elect. It is true technical objections can be made to this position, but we are not talking from the standpoint of legal hair splitters, wo are talking sense. We are expressing the senti ments of the great mass of the peo . pie, who are honest; not of the few politicians who are "anything for the squirrel." Of the masses who are becoming sorebacked from the wear of the political saddle, and who some day will buck the riders off and drag them to death. There is an old legal proverb that "no one can- take advantage of his own wrong," and while our solons are working on technical matters they might figure on how much ben efit those who violated their pledges and their oaths of oflice are entitled to receive for doing so. It may be possible, and it ma' bo probable, that the American people will get such an overdose of law on their national stomach that it will operate as an emetic, and it will eject the whole lot. From having too much law wo are apt to go to the other extreme and have too little. Hell and anarch' are already within reach of the political pot, nnd it will not require much effort to get both of them in it. And still the balance- of Europe continues to put tin thumb screws on Greece, and prevent that little cottntiy tackling single-handed a power Ave times as strong as itself. The noble and warlike spirit of the Greeks has awakened admiration for ' lll0m, an(l s3,mPatny for tllcir cause. i Who knows . hut the whirligig of time has again where another spun to that point Philip and another Alexander may carry her arms across ! the Bosphorus and to the banks of the Indus? Some wretch of an inventor has made a machine that will magnify 'smells." Its possibilities for good are limited, but suppose the fellow should turn his old machine loose around a liniburger cheese factory or a meeting of the Oregon legislature, or some other odoriferous assemblage. The very thought of the results of that invention makes one regret that noses are necessary. The county judges of most -of the counties declare their determination not to pay over the state's proportion of taxes unless the legislature meet and make the regular appropriations. Of course the law provides for the paying over of the money at a stated time, but it must be remembered it also provides that the legislature shall meet at a certain time. liuoKleii'o .vriiiiH salve.
