BLACK THORN.
It seems that the greatest
thorn in the flesh of the white
man of the" United States of to
day is a black one the negro.
Surely the white people of the
South have reason to curse their
luck m consideration of the
.plasrue that has descended to
them as the fruits of the sins of
their fathers.
The negro was brought to this
country in chains a century ago;
he came here against his will and
because the white man made
him do so. Now it seems as
though in time he would have to
go somewhere and some way
all because the white man so
wills. During the early history
of the slave trade many there
were who frowned upon and con
demned slavery and who were
doubtful of results.
Since first brought to the Uni
ted States the negro has been
nought but a source of trouble.
He was the cause of one of t he
greatest struggles ever known in
modern times, the civil war.
Thi.i great struggle was for the
settlement of the negro question,
and it is not settled yet. It
looks as though affairs in the
South are becoming more and
more alarming each succeeding
year. Will a race war result?
Possibly; but if not what in
creation is to be the end of the
antagonism that has existed for
centuries, and always will exist,
between the white and black
races?
NOW IN SESSION.
Monday saw the legislature
for the State of Oregon conven
ed. For some little time pre
vious there had been mush spec
ulation as to who would be elect--ed
president of the senate and
.speaker of the house. E. W.
Haines, of Washington county,
-.was elected president of the
tiSenate on first ballot- Hodson,
x Mul.nomah, was the onlyop
fcjpaaent of Haines who merited
xcmsidaration. In the house
Frank Dav2y was elected with--oat
opposition on the first bal
. ijt.
Whila the legislature is repub
lican almost to the core there is
-every reason to believe, at least
at this stage of the game, that
they will play fairly with the
democratic senators and rerre
i.S2ntatives. On this head it may
sJbe slated that the report is cur
. rent that the Haines men, as
)Fell as others, have expressed
". themselves as friendly to Gov
ernor Chamberlain. This is re
- assuring information, as in the
jCnrst pLicc tho meeting of the
f legislature is for the making and
passing of laws for the welfare
of the citizens of the state, or
r:br the repealing of such laws as
w.iiive proved obnoxious or inade
quate. In the second place there
is no sense in the governor of
-amy state and the senators and
representatives bickering and
-abusing the faith of their con
stituency just because of a dif
ference in political faith.
There is nothing of greater
mportance to the people of any
state than the legislative ses
sions. It is safe to say that
.never in the history of this state
-3id the prospects for fair sailing
during the legislative session
look so bright as they do for this
session. In the past there have
always been days and weeks of
wrangling and lobbying and bal
loting for United States senators
where there has been a sen--a'
or to elect. Two United States
senators are to be chosen this
ssion, but the choice becomes
rather fan endorsement of the
popular vote last Jane than an
election. Fred W. Mnlkey and
Jonathan Bourne, both of Mult
nomah, are the senators chosen
by the people of Oregon to re
present them in Washington D.
C. at future sessions of the nat- j
ional congress. Mr, Bourne' will I
have the long term while Mr.
Mulkey wfU hold office during
the short term. There is no rea
son to doubt that these gentle
men will be speedily and grace
fully endorsed when the time
for balloting arrives.
Hence it will be seen that
there seems no good reason why
the legislature should not at
once settle down to the consider
ation of serious matters. Per
haps the greatest question before
the legislative body, or likely to
come before it, will relate to
railroad franchises and railroad
matters generally, together with
the consideration of proper con
trol of all public franchise cor
porations. These of themselves
are matters of greatest impor
tance to this state beside which
other things seem almost insig
nificant. We hope the present
session of the legislature will
make as creditable a close as it
has a beginning.
Recommendations by Governor.
Governor Chamberlain in his
inaugural message makes the
t blowing recommendations to
tae legislature:

nission, to ibe appjinted by the
governor; improvement of water
ways and purchase of Oregon City

Linn Wants Bounty.
To secure a law for the ov
ment of .bounties on covote
scalps in Western Oregon ris-tw
purpose of a movement which
has been inaugurated : in Linn
cwnnty. K Petitions are" now be
ing circulated asking that such a
law be' inacttd at- the present
esMon of the Irgislatare.
Since the scalp bounty law
was abolished coyotes have be
come verv plentiful iu the foot
nilis of Eastern Linn aud have
done great damage on stock
ra 1 cries. Ranchers in the vicin
ity of Holley, Sweet H me,
Crawfordsvilie and Sodaville
funned a league and have been
paing $10 for every scaip
broughtMo-. The burden from
loss of stock'knd payment of this
bounty, too, has been a htavy
one, the ranchers say, and they
want the county to assist in' the
ext rmination of the pests.
The inaugurators of the pres
ent movement want a law fash
ioned after the act of 1887, rather
than the one of 1901, which made
it eay to ship iu cojote scalps
from other states and collect the
bounty, a procedure which- was
the direct cause of the repeal ot
the law.

FATE AND ANDREW JACKSON.
What Going West, Not East, Meant to
the Fiary Lawyer.
During the young manhood of
I Andrew Jackson, -when he rode the
- circuit in Tennessee, knowing more
law than most of his brethren at the
j bar, afraid of nothing on earth,
ready to-challenge to a duel some
trained lawyer from the older set
tlements when that lawyer tres
passed upon his own preserves and
made fun of his ignorance as
Waightstill Avery did thus hold-
Jirig$iis ground against all comers,
parwy oj Drute iorce ana parity oy
mental superiority, he was probably
nearer to happiness than .he ever
was afterward.
From court to court he rode his
race horse, pistols in holsters, carry
ing his gun and his pack of hounds,
ready for the courthouse, ready for
the deer chase, ready for the shoot
ing match, ready for the horse race,
ready for. the house raising and I02
rolling, ready to go out himself and
drag into the courthouse the des
perado whom the sheriff feared to
arrest.
Rough and tumble times these
were in backwoods Tennessee, with
rude and lawless elements boiling
and bubbling in that inevitable pe
riod of unrest and struggle which
prevails in border settlements be
fore the community takes form and
everybody smugly congratulates
everybody else on the "reign of law
and order.'
In just such a state of society
young Jackson was peculiarly fitted
to lead, dominate and prosper.
Had he gone eastward instead of
westward, had he cast in his lot with
the lawyers that were striving for
advancement in the cities of the
original thirteen seaboard states,
nothing is more certain than that
the world would never have heard
of him.
His lack of knowledge of the law
would have made him easy prey to
those who were masters of this pro
fession. His fiery temper would
have kept him constantly in battle
array, and in fighting those lawyers
who got the better of him in the ci
tation of legal authorities he would,
in the nature of things, have met
the wrong man sooner or later.

Two Famous Kisses.
History has taken notice of some
famous kisses. There was that
which Queen Margaret gave to
Alain Chartier over 300 years ago,
the memory of which is fresh in the
minds of men if not on their lips.
Chartier was a poet, but he was the
ugliest man personally in all "the
sunny land of France." The queen,
with her maids, one day found him
asleep and, beading over him, kissed
his dreaining tips. Turning to her
maids, she prc-ttily said: "I kiss not
the man. I kiss the soul that
sings."
Two centuries later Voltaire, an
other Frenehrjan and also a poet,
was publicly k.ssed in the stage bos
of the theater by the young and
lovely Countess de Villars, but in
his case the lndy gave the kiss not
as a voluntary tribute to genius, but
in obedience to the commands of
the claque in the pit, who, mad with
enthusiasm iyr the poet's "He
roDe." bade hr kiss him.
