THE COMPROMISE.
The Mitchell Republicans have
made a proposition of compromise
with the Simon forces. To an ordi
nary observer t the proposal seems
fair, and is one which, in the inter
ests of harmony, should be accepted.
In this crisis, as in the struggle of
two years ago, it is proposed that
George H. Williams, ex attorney
general, shall act as arbiter, Judge
Williams being the only Republican
in Oregon, seemingly, who has not
become biased one way or the other.
The general outlines of the plan of
compromise provide that only one
county convention and one primary
election shall be held, and that the
call for the same shajl be signed by
Ihe chairmen of the respective fac
tions. Judge Williams is to act as
temporary chaii man of the county
convention and appoint a committee
consisting of the same number from
each, side, which committee, together
withv Judge Williams, shall pass upon
the credentials. The communication
is quite long and provides for many
natters of detail.
The situation in Portland has been
one of anxiety and regret to good
Republicans throughout the state,
and this offer to meet half way will
be pleasing to the party generally.
Its refusal or acceptance by the Si
mon wing will show whether that
gentleman is willing to be reasonable
"or whether he wants-it all. The
party in the state is watching the
matter, and the country delegates
will be prepared to vote intelligently
when it comes to consider Multno
mah county's troubles in the next
state convention.
As a titled blackmailer the Prince
of Monaco has no equal. He is in
the same class in his particular line
as is - the gambling territory from
which he derives his immense reve
nue. Half a million a year is the
minimum sum the prince will accept
for rent of his kingdom to the devo
tees of chance. Like the railroads,
he is charging what the traffic will
bear ard is pressing the limit. Little
by little the scamps of the old world
are learning the tricks of the new.
The prince would make a model cap
tain of police for some of America's
larger cities, where vice is virtually
licensed and the people know nothing
of lC; where inspectors of great police
systems are enabled to build man
sions ana invest in government
bonds on a salary cf a few thousand
a year. Spokesman-Review.
The politicians of Ohio are gather
ing at Columbus to determine who
shall be United States senator. The
friends ot Mark Hanna are confident
of his election, and his opponents are
equally sure he will be defeated. It
is more than likely that the Ohio W
islature will be thrown into a squab
ble, which will bring disgrace upon
that state as the Oregon legislature
did upon us. In the meantime the
agitation for election of senators by
direct rote' of the people goes .on un
DEATH DUE TO FALLING WIRES.
More Persona Killed by Theu Tnan
toy Hull road Accidents.
We have recently had an opportunity
to exartnne a batch of newspaper clip
pings giving- accounts of accidents dne
to the falling- of electric wires. -These
clippings cover the months from May
to September, inclusive, but it is not to
be supposed that we have found in them
reports of all or nearly .all the acci
dents of that character which have
taken place. We have found enough,
however, to show that the matter is-a
very serious one.
We find in the five months reports of
122 accidents due to falling trolley
wires; In 11 of these accidents 12 per
sons were killed, and in 28 of them 31
persons were injured and in 18 of them
24 horses were killed. During the same
five months we find reports of 40 ac
cidents from falling electric light and
telephone wires, showing that 9 per
sons were, killed in 9 accidents and 27
were injured . in 22 accidents, and 7
horses were kijled.
The nature of the accidents is very
familiar; that is, a broken live wire
falls into the street and a passer-by
steps on it or picks it up and gets a
shock which is often fatal. We thus
find, during this period, a total of 21
fatalities resulting from falling live
wires of all kinds. At this rate of mor
tality, if it were kept up, 50 persons
would be killed in the year. In 1895
there were . 38 passengers killed in
train accidents on all the steam
railroads of the United States, so
far as we have been able to as
certain. It appears, therefore, that
more persons are killed by live wire
accidents than are passengers in rail
road train accidents, and the difference
might .be still greater if complete sta
tistics of the former were obtained. . ,
There have been widespread and per
sistent efforts made by the public in va
rious ways and for many years to mini
mize train accidents by legislation and
by agitation in the press and by inves
tigations and recommendations on the
part of railroad commissions, but the
serious mortality due to live wire acci
dents does not appear to have attracted
much attention from the public. There.
are simple and obvious means, which
we suppose are not very expensive, for
preventing accidents of this class; but
until the public realizes the serious
ness of the situation and the' practica
bility of remedying it probably little
will be done. We suggest this subject
as an interesting one for the daily
newspapers. Railroad Gazette.
