TOO MUCH LAW.
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.

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.
