The Times-Honntaineer
- SENATOR DO LP II.
- Some papers in Oregon are nomina
ting candidates for the United States
senator, who", will be eleoted at the
next meeting of the legislature, and
Judge Lord, governor-elect, Hon. T.
H Tongue and Hon. 0. W. Fulton
have been .named for the position.
They claim that Hon., J. N. Dolph is
not sufficiently Populistic on the silver
question to represent the Republicans
of this state. Any one who has stud
ied the history of the Bepubhcun
party for the past thirty yean knows
that it has never occupied any - equi
vocal position on the money question,
and the solid basis upon .which our
currency rests with the nations of the
' world baa been the result of its fioan
cial policy. .Mr. Dolph is thoroughly
in harmony with, his . party on this
subject, and fully endorses the plank
in the national pluform of 1892, and
also in the state platform during the
last campaign. . " A few Republicans
may have become wild in favor of un
limited coinage of the white metal;
but the parly has always occupied
solid and safe ground on financial
ques ions.
" , The Republicans of Oregon are no
more in harmony with the Populists'
platform on silver than they are, in
favor of the other strange notions of
- that organization. The citizans of one
- or more countries in this state may
- consider their local interests better
subserved by - free silver; but this
opinion is confined to small localities,
and Republicans in Oregon are in har
mony with the national platform.
Oregon raises wheat and wool, and
is more Interested in the appreciation
of the price of these in the markets
of the world than in that of the white
metal Our grain finds sales in the
Liverpool market, and everyone knows
that England deals on a gold basis.
If our mints were to turn out silver
dollars in unlimited . quantities it
.would not affect tha value of thu.
The price of all products is governed
by supply and demand, and the free
coinage of silver cannot regulate these.
Those anti-Republican papers that
are attempting to make capital against
Mr. Dolph by falsly stating that Ore
gonians desire a free-silver represent
ative in the upper branch of congress
' are not exponents cf the wishes of the
people. For personal and other
. reasons they desire tbe defeat of Mr
Dolph, and to accomplish this are
- willing to publish - any possible
misrepresentation of facts. They have
begun their work before the legislature
meets in order to influence the mem
bers, and make them belisve that their
constituents throughout tbe state des're
a U. S. Senator in favor of unlimited
coinage. 1 This is not true, t In the
campaign laat June Democrats stated
in every, county in the state that a
vote for Republican., members of the
legislature would be a vote for Mr.
Dolph to be returned to the senate,
and on this issue the Republicans car
ried Oregon by a larger majority than
was ever before received.
Mr. Dolph has proved himself the
peer of any in the national legislature,
and Oregon never had in Washington
City a more earnest, untiring worker
for her best interests than he has
proved himself. - On the national
subject of protection he has taken a
position in the front rank of its de-
. fenders, and during the great
battle waged on the senate floors
in the last session there was no
abler champion ot tbe cause than
Hon. J. N. Dolph of Oregon. Judge
Lord, Hon. T. H. . Tougue and Hon.
C. W. Fulton are good men and hon
est Republicans; but in this particu
lar epoch in the history of the country.
Oregon should not change a well tried
and able senator, of many years' ex
perience, for one who would have to
be initated into the ways of legisla
tion. -:
JUDGMENT OF THE PEOPLE.
. Sufficient time has elapsed for the
recent Republican victory to be thoro
ughly understood and tbe reasons
therefor to be ascertained. It was
undoubtedly a tidal wave in favor of
. reseating the old party again in power,
and in speaking of it the Inter Ocean
says:
"There have been several elections
in this country that marked epochs;
elections that were looked forward to
by earnest people' as an opportunity
for recording popular sentiment, or
: for reversing hasty verdicts, or for re
buking certain leaders, or condemning
politics. Among the most memorable
was tbe election of -lsb3 in Ohio,
, when Vallandingham was candidate
for coventor, nominated bv the Demo.
crats on the theory that there waa a
reaction against the policy of Presi
dent Lincoln. The people of Ohio
waited impatiently for the oppor
tunity to record their opinions, - and
the outcome was - an overwhelming
majority for John Brough and the
policy of the administration.
"Another memorable occasion was
tha election of 1868, when the issue
was squarely - joined, between the
Unionists and those who had opposed
the Republican reconstruction policy,
and the vote was so decisive in ' favor
of Republicanism that no one doubted
where tbe people stood. . Quite as
memorable as the election of 1868
was that of Tuesday, Nov. 6, 1894
The people had had a trial of Demo
cratic policy, had tried the experi
roent of putting .the Democrats in
power in the legislative and executive
branches of the government, had "been
sitting in judgment for months, and
were waiting to pronounce sentence.
This explains tbe sweeping character
of tbe Republican victory, and no one
ean misunderstand the drift of popu
Iir sentiment on the questions that
were plainly at issue.
"The judgment of the country is
against free trade, against Populism,
Timmanvism, anarchy, and against all
the nondescript isms grouped under
and-Republican banners. ' There wa
no hasty judgment in the finalde
cision. Opinion was made np after
investigation and experience, and
there never has been in the history of
the country a more definite or em
phatic; exorr8.-:oa of distrust of o e
party and confidence in the other than
was rendered at the election of Tues
day. The election was iu fact one of
the most remarkable and one of the
most significant in the history of par
ties. It was an uprising of the people
as full of meaning as when the question
of union or disunion' brought the loyal
people of the land into the line of
battle in 1861. The effnct will be far
reaching, not only because of the over
whelming character of the victory, but
because of the deliberation with which
the people arrived at the conclusion
that determined the character of the
vote. - It will effect not only this coun
try but England. Nowhere will the
judgment of the people be misunder
stood, and futile will be the efforts to
set it aside."-
- NEEDED LEGISLATION,
The citizens of Oregon have had no
local politics in which to feel directly
interested since the June election, and,
although the Republicans of the state
feel joyful over the victory the old
party-has achieved at the ballot box,
the fight was far distant and it did
not receive that attention as if it had
been at home. But next January the
biennial session of the legislature will
convene, and there are matters to
which the people should attach the
greatest importance that should re
ceive the attention of the law-making
power. 1 here is a good working ma-
I j0rity of Republicans in both the
upper and lower house, and the gov
ernor will be of tbe same political
predilections. During the past few
years many evils have crept into legis
lation in this state that should be
remedied, and it is time that the atten-
tion of the members of the legislature
were Called tO them.
The administration of the public af-
fairs of the state have not been on as
economical a basis as they might have
been, and Republicans should see tbat
there are no unnecessary expenses in-

salaries for doing little or nothing that
is of benefit to the people. ' The
railroad commission draws from the
-
state treasury about $10,000 annually,
and the producers would ' receive as
good' treatment from the corporations
if the commission never bad an exist
ence. There are other offices that
could be abolished without the least
njury to the people, and which arej
constant drains upon the treasury.
The Republican majority in ' Salem
next January will not do its duty
to ' the party or to its constituency
without it lop on every unnecessary
expense now connected with the ad
ministration of the state government.
It is an inherent right in the people
who .pay the taxes to demand the
strictest accounting' of the public
funds, and that no sinecural offices be
created or continued in existence for
the benefit of professional politicians.
At the laat session certain officers
were changed from the fee to the salary
system, and this has caused a saving
of several thousand dollars annually
to the people; but these salaries are
hot properly adjusted, and the act
should receive a careful revision. In
some counties officials receive too
much, and in others not enough.
Then, there is not a proper parity
maintained in the pay. of different
officials, and the salary should ' be

The laat two or three legislatures I
have attempted to do something with
the assessment law; but their labors
have been about as fruitful of diecon
tent as those of the Democratic party
on tbe tariff Our assessment law is
not the best of any state in the union,
and might easily be improved. Per
haps, a greater, fault than the defect
ive law - itself is the fact that the
people generally elect to the office of
assessor some person who has had
but little experience in business, or the
approximation or depreciation of values
of different articles. - He who places a
value upon tenement property, real
estate, merchandise, eta, should be a
man of great practical experience and
of discriminating judgment. If this
rule were rollowed, the law as it now
stands might be good enough for all I
practical purposes. I
There is work enough to keep the and the west
next Oregon legislature busy for tbe Japan still marches on victoriously
forty days of its existence, and it can I
very profitably devote this time or a I
a large portion of it to remedial acts
and repealing old laws. The state is
young, and is possessed of unlimited
resources; but the greatest stimulant
to growth and development will be
legislation in the proper channels
nela. There is a good opportunity for
tha Republican party to make history
for itself; t ut, if the time is loitered
away without anything being done in
tbe lines that the public desires, it
will do a lasting injury to itself, ana
to the state.
Local complications in California de
feated tbe Republican candidate for gov-
-nor, but tbe state aod coogretsiui al
tickets were elected by overwhelming
majorities. California is all right. '
TBE NEW CZAR.
"Our illustroua sovereign," as -the
czar lately elevated to the throne of
Russia styles himself, has sent a cir
cular letter to his ministers and am
bassadors abroad. After paying
proper respect to his dead father, the
young emperor states that he will de
vote all "his strength to the develop
ment of the internal welfare of
Russia," and that he will "deviate in
no way from the completely pacific,
loyal and firm policy which had con
tributed so greatly to the tranquility
of the world." This will be good news
to monarcha of Europe; but it is very
doubtful if the young czar can keep
his head under a trying emergency.
He might think that the welfare of
Russia demanded certain actions
which would be disastrous to tbe peace
of Europe, and a hasty word might
cause a Ions and last ins war. When

In banking circles in JNew xork- a
new government loan is expected to
be issued in a few days. Under the
free-trade policy of the Democracy,
the national debt has to be constantly
increased to keep up the revenues.
What a contrast this is to the good
old days when the Republican party
waa at the head of the administration
of affairs, and the public treasury was
overflowing with money. For the
privilege of keeping our markets open
to tbe preducts of the world it becomes
necessary for tbe United States to ask
a loan of about $50,000,000 nearly
every year.
The Republican victory last Tues
day was so overwhelming that it is
not magnaminuous to rejoice too
I loudly. Democracy was defeated al
most everywhere, and even the "solid
wfts brof tor the first time
for a quarter of a century. It may
be pardonabie in a lifelong Republi-
can t0 expre88 a feeling of pride and
I satisfaction that the principles of the
erand old party have been so com-
-
pletely endorsed, and that its enemy,
after only two years of tnai at ad
ministering national affairs, have been
so severely rebuked by the sovereign
people. Democracy was placed in tbe
saddle in 1892, and in two years rode
itself to an ignominious deaih. .
Portland has for many years looked

Portland is already the terminus of

if she can secure the Northern Pacific,

of commerce to the interior, she will
possess many advantages over cities on

These revolutionary sentiments were

Question rf Currency.
New York, Nov. 14 It is reported
that tbe president is considering the idea
of submiiting to tbe country a plan tor
currency reform. He belieyes the cur
rency system is inherently vicious, tbat
it is responsible for the financial ills
wbicb recur so long as it is maintained.
Tbe sulject will be a dominant feature
in bis message to congress in December.
It is said be will favor many of the sug
gestions made by the baakera' national
convention at Baltimore in September.
Wht is known as tbe Baltimore plan,
adopted at tbat convention, appealed to
the president as having features of no
doubted merit. He ob'ained a copy jt
the plan, and since then bas been study
ing and working on tbe subject. Briefly
stated, the Baltimore plan provides for
a guarantee fund obtained by levying a
small tax upon all the banks. This fund
is to be used to pay the notei of bauks
which become insolvent. Since it became
whispered among tbe financiers that the
piesident was preptring to address con
gres9 upon trie currency system, so many
suggestions have reached him tbt be
thought it well to gither some expert
opinion among bankers whom he could
not personally consult. Assistant Secre
tary of the Treasury Colonel H Jordan
is urging upon the piesident to recom
mend to congress tbe appointment of a
currency commission, not partisan In
character, and composed of representa
tive men of all sections, which shall con
sider tbe currency question in its various
bearings and report a system of reform
to congress. .
