THE FIFTY-SIXTH CONGRESS
Complete returns from the. election
show that the republicans will have a
clear working majority in both houses
of the next congress. The senate,
provided there are no deadlocks, will
be composed of 0 republicans, 31
democrats, five populists, three silver
republicans and one independent,
James H. Kyle, of South Dakota. In
, the hpuse there will be 1 85 republican?,
162 democrats, four', fusionists. two
, silver republicans and two populists.
On all party measures it is .safe to
say that the republicans will vote as a
unit, while the democrats, populists,
silver republicans and fusionists will
generally vote together. They will at
least be almost a unit in opposing any.
financial legislation, that will propose
the retirement of the" present credit
currency an'd enlarging the Dowers of
banks, and may be counted upon to
stand pretty closely together on tariff
: legislation. On the other hand, the
republicans in both houses will sup
port a measure recommended by the
administration for the revision of the
financial system and on the tariff, but
as to the question of territorial ex
pansion they, as well as the democrats,
will be divided.
The . administration being thus
backed up by a congress in harmony
with it on most questions may be ex
pected to form its ideas of financial
reform upon the country, apd outside
of dealing with the newly acquired
territory, this will be the most im
portant legislation passed by the fifty
sixth congress.
better showing in the way of increased
earnings for October than the North
em Pacific and the Great Northern
The Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul
led the list with ' an increase of $-198,
609. i The Great Northern came next
with $3S6,941;and the Northern Pacific
was third, with an increase of $225,-164.-,
-At
this rate the Great Northern will
earn 94,648,292 moro in the current
fiscal year than it earned during the
fiscal year ended June 30 last.
This is an extraordinary showing.
Last year after the Great Northern
had paid all expenses of operating, the
salaries of its officials and wages of its
employes, it taxes, interest on its
bonded debt, 6 per cent interest on
the stock of its leased line, and divi
dends to its own stockholders, there re
mained a surplus of 85,162,137. .
At the present rate of increrse, after
liberal allowance is made for increased
operating expenses, the company will
have at the end of the next fiscal year
a new surplus of about 38,000,000.
These astonishing" earnings are the
result of excessive freight rates levied
on the people of this and other west
ern states, says the Spokesman-Review.
These ' surplus millions are
taken from the pockets of the people,
and the carriers will go on charging
excessive rates so long as the ' people
will submit without a struggle.
-Relief should come from the legis
lature, which has power to reduce
freight rates and passenger fares with
in the state. Acutin the grain rate
of six or seven cents per bushel would
save more than a million dollars an
nually to the farmers of Eastern Wash,
ington, and distribute an additional
measure of prosperity to every grain
grower .and business man .in this
section.

PLENTY TO KICK ABOUT.
The Times-Mountaineer says "itcost
the people of Oregon nearly $30,000 to
elect Jco Simon United States sena
tor." Admitting that it did, what
difference does it make? Was the leg
islation enacted at the special session
of no value? Was the saving of inter
est on unpaid state warrants of no ac
count? Should Oregon be deprived of
her full representation in the coming
sessiou of congress when matters of
the greatest moment are to be acted
upon? And finally, what's the trouble
with you: have you absolutely nothing
ofj importance to kick about? Can't
you find fault with the condition of the
U. S. treasury, the price of wool, cat
tle, sheep, or hops, the general pros
perity of the people, the result of the
war, the conduct ol our soldiers and
officers in that war, nor anything un
der the sun except a paltry $30,000 ex
pended under the laws and constitu
tion of the state of Oregon. Prine

Here's quite a list of nonsensical
questions, such as none but a hide
bound partisan would ask. Aside from
the unnecessary expenditure of $30,
000 for the election of a United States
senator, which was the sole purpose of
convening the legislature in extra
session, there is abundance to Kick
about. While the legislature did do a
little good work, for which the mem
bers are to be commended, it was not
a paying investment for the state. By
passing the general appropriation bill
it saved perhaps $8,000 interost, and
saved some $1,500 by abolishing the
railroad commission. This was all, so
the rest of the cost of the special ses
sion may be charged up to the election
of Mr. Simon.
As to the other matters there is
plenty to complain of. The condition
of the treasury for instance. It is
bulging with millions of dollars placed
there' by the unnecessary sale of bonds,

The Hawaiian commissioners have
about concluded their labors, and their
report will recommend a liberal form
of government for the islands. The
commission has favorably considered a
proposition to give the islands a rep
resentative in the house with a vote,
in which regard he would rank with
tha representatives, and not with the
delegates from Arizona, New Mexico
and Oklahoma, who have the privilege
of talking, but not the right of votipg.
The government suggested for the
islands will in all probability be "an
advance on the present Organized ter
ritories, but of coarse, will not contem
plate statehood. Several members of
Ug cuiilliiwaivu w vw vuu vawuv v.-uo
lieving that Hawaii 'should have rep
resentation in the senate, though
probably without a vote. This feature,
however, may not appear in the re
port. The distance of the islands from the
seat of government necessitates the
granting of more power for local gov
ernment than is given to the present
organized territories, but the govern
or and other important officers will, of
course, be appointed in Washington.
Hawaii having come into the onion by
treaty, nd not by conquest, there will
be no military government, as in the
case of Porto Rico and the Philippines,
but a civil power will be created from
the start.
In a general way jtbe courts and or
dinary machinery of the federal gov
ernment will be; extended to the
islands without much alteration, but
provision will probably be made for a
certain degree of local control of tax
ation and expenditures.
There will be a suffrage based upon
education and property qualifications,
and the members of the commission
believe they have evolved a system of
colonial governmedt which will re
serve full power to the president and
congress, and at the same time prove
sufficiently elastic to give the govern
ing classes in the island control of
local improvements and the direction
of colonial affairs.
PHENOMENAL ; EARRINGS
pnly one American railroad made a .
east, and his friends are so glad to see
him that they have given him- a most
interesting reception. Claus Spreck
els had him trrested for criminal
libel, Martin Kelly wa- ted the grand
jury to indict him for perjury, Grove
Johnson wi'i sue him for damages to
character, A. L. McDonald has begun
an action for $80,000 for infringment
on his Klondike map, and ex Senator
Dunne has a $25,000 libel suit filed
against him. These friends are
agrived because Hearst has been stir
iug up some of their rotteness, and
other friends will probably show their
affection in a similar manner. While
they are thus engaged Hearst will go
right ahead showing up the rascality
of these men. He is amply able to de
fend himself against such friends as
these. '
The barter and trade that has begun
in California for senatorial honors is
enough to disgust any citizen with
the present system of electing United
States senators. From appearances
the senatorshlp will be put up for sale,
and John D. Spreckles and M. H.
De Young will be the bidders. When
we elect senators by direct vote such
men as these, who want office solely
for mercenary motives, will be count
ed out, but so locg as the present sys
tem prevails, men of worth and ability
must step aside for those with abund
ant wealth.
There Is a clamor for an increase
in the merchant marine of this country,
it being stated that the United States
will this year pay $200,000,000 to for
eign ship owners for freights. Be
fore we had a discriminating tariff,
our products were carried in Amer
icans bottoms. So we might increase
the merchant marine by returning to
the system that prevailed before
1860.;
Secretary of the Treasury Gage has
decided to have all the bills issued by
the government of similar appearance.
This seems to be useless, for the ap
parent policyof the party la power is
to retire all credit currency of the
government, so Mr. Gage bad better
wait until the 56th congress gets a
whack at currency "reform" before he
goes to issuing new bills.
One recommendation made by the
grand jury should be heeded by the

of humanity to supply the old fellows
who have used it all their lives. 1
some $10,000,000 a month from the in
ternal revenue tax. A condition if
continued for a year will seriously
hamper business by the withdrawal of
money from the ordinary channels of
trade. Then there is the price of wool.
It is quoted at eight cents a pound in
San Francisco, eleven cents a pound
in Boston, and nothing in The Dalles.
There are several million' pounds of
this product in The Dalles' warehouses
today for which the owners can find
no offers. The price of wheat is also
something to find fault with. Farmers
can get 51 cents a bushel for this sta
ple article here, and on an 'average it
has cost them 40 cents a bushel to pre
pare it for the market. And who
among our people are really prosper
ous? A reference to the list of pft)p

result of the war. We have an .army
of as fine men as ever bore arms, and
as a result, not of the war, but of the

3,000 of them have died because of
this mismanagement. The result off

he tried for a term for himself he

I was growing 6eniie and forgetful.
Hanna, whom 1 had obliged with my
seat, was among the' firbt to siy that I
had lost my mentality. It was not a
very kind return for my vacating nry
seat for him -
"After I went into the cabinet I saw
very little of the president in connec
tion with the duties of my office-. A
man' was broughtin therefrom Canton
who bad run for office only once. I
think, and had been defeated. He did
not seem to have much to do in the
state department, but every night he
went to tee the presidentand rehearsed
what had been done there. I regarded
him as my inferior and gave very little
attention to him or what be was doing
until one day the president said to me:
'Mr. Sherman what you have been
saying, or are reported to have said is
embarassing Judge Day.' I was 'very
much surprised, .and answered: 'Mr.
President; do you suppose that I would
say an v thing to injure the administra
tion of which I am a member?' The
president repeated nearly the same
thing offensively to me. I got mad
and 1 came away una wrote out my
resignation peremptorily.'; :
The reoorter. quoted to the-ex-secre
tary tome things he had. heard favora
ble to Judge Day s capacity as bis suc
cessor. -The secretary ' listened like
one quite willing to learn.- He ob
served: -"I
was always a supporter of Presi
dent MeK-inley. ... You know that what
ever he desired to have governor,
president, anything I sustained. They
alwavs called UDon me. and 1 resnon-
ded. But I do not now believe that
my suggestions or wishes would now
be considered by the administration
I consented to give up my seat as I
did not want to appear exacting. Al
ways with good nature I have sub
scribed to the program. I think that
I have been used for a purpose."
Comment on Mr. Sherman's state
ment is hardly necessary. It, how
ever, shows to what straights present
day politicians will go to get them
selves into power. Friendship ceases
when such men as Hanna want office

Washington, Nov..21 The presi
dent has appointed John Morgan col
lector of customs for the Southern dis- j at the conclusion of the peace in
trict of Oregan.
Kow that wo have all complied with
the requests tf the president cud
governor to give proper thanks for
the bounties bestowed upon us, it is
not amiss to search the pages of his
tory and review the customs and
causes that have brought about this
generally observed day in America,
To the grand old Pilgrim father,
William Bradford, governor of the
original New England colonies, be
longs the honor of being the first to
proclaim in America a general Thanks
giving day.
A weary band of Pilgrims, bitterly
tried with months of hard toil and
filled with deepest disappointment at
'he sieht of a parched earth and a
land crying out for rain and ruined
crops for want of moisture under
these depressing conditions existing
in November, 1621, Governor Brand
ford called his little band together and
set a day apart for general fasting and
prayers to God to change the brassy
skies to cloud covered, and for the
floods of heaven to descend on the
thirsting fields. The promise of a day
of thanksgiving was oot very bright
until circumstances changed the day
of fasting and devotion into one of re
joicing, feasting and thankfulness, for
as the pilgrims knelt to pray, for rain
the windows of heaven were opened
and the lifeglvlng water descended in
floods. ,
The second feast of thanRsgiving
was in the fall of 1622, when Governor
Bradford sent the best hunters of the
colony scouring the adjacent woods
for wild turkey and game of all kinds
to supply the colonists and their
guests, who were the Indian chief
Massasoit and 90 of his warriors.
This Thanksgiving feast lasted for
three days, beginning Thursday morn
ing with hymns of praise and prayer
from hearts filled to overflowing with
thanksgiving.
The Puritan thanksgiving'day which
differs from that of the Pilgrims orig
inated in aomewhat similar way: it ! in the late election
was ia the year 1631, and was intended
for a day of strict fasting and prayer,
the colonists being in great distress,
famine was imminent, a vessel laden
with provisions and lonsr at sea hed
not arrived.
In 1644 another official day of
thanksgiving was set by Governor
Kuft, the occasion being the yictory
of the colonists over the Indians, and
1645
I another .Thanksgiving day was pro-.'
el limed. Thanksgiving day has been
peculiarly an American custom ever
since. Occasionally proclamations
wero issued by governors of different
New England states and It became a
general custom to set a day aside for
thanksgiving after harvest.
The continental congress designated
a number of days of thanksgiving
during the revolutionary war, which
were observed by the colonists,
but the first general thanks
giving proclamation was issued by
General Washington, and Dec. 18, 1777
was designated as the day, and the
first national thanksgiving was ob
served on Nov. 26, 1789, it being desig
nated as a day of returning thanks
for the freedom - of the American
people after the close of the war with
Great Britain.
From this on Thanksgiving day was
not very generally observed, until
about the close of the civil war, when
President-Lincoln issued bis famous
proclamation designailng tho last
Thursday in Novembe1, 1864, as a day
of than Ksgiving-throughout the nation.
Since then it has been the custom of
each succeeding president to designate
the - last Thursday in November of
each year as Thanksgiving day, and
with few exceptions it has been ob
served in all states.
. NEEDS REGULATING.
Since the Pacific Bridge Co. began
operations on its contract with the
city to put in new water mains, it has
been necessary to dig long trenehes
through the streets, in which to lay
the new pipe, and to guard asratnst
any accident the shief engineer, Mr.
Frye, has each ntght put a string of
lighted lanterns along the trenches so
as to warn the travellers of the places
of danger. Somebody has made a
practice of either carrying away the
the lanterns or putting out the. lights,
so as to leave the travelling public at
the mercy of the treacherous trenches,
into which the people might fall at
any time, causing serious damage
and possibly loss of life.
. Such an act is adominable and
should meet with the severest punish
ment. The thief who carries away
the lanterns not only deprives the
owner of their use but endangers the
lives of persons who may chance to be
Ipassing along the streets after dark
and fall into the openings where the
lights have been removed. If 'he
culprit can be caught he should be
severely dealt with.
In the treasury bureau of statistics
an array of figures has been prepared
that is intended to show that the pres
ent tariff law produces a sufficient
amount of reyenue to meet the de
mands of the government; that is' it
creates one-half of the reyenue re
quired, which, it is claimed, is all
former tariff laws have accomplished.
Now if this is true, why retain the war
revenue law? Why not repeal it and
relieve tho people of the burden of
about $10,000,000 a month. There is
no justice in collecting off of the peo
ple more than is required. Congress
might well look into this matter when
it convenes next month.

THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.
The ablest politician in President
McKinley's cabinet is thought to be
Postmaster General Smith. He has
recently given in an interview the
policy of the administration ou the
important issues of the day. He de
clares the acquisition of all the Phil
ippines has bean determined on: the
war taxes or most of them are to be
retained; there is to be no attempt at
currency reform at the approaching
session of congress, it being thought
cannot predominate or be anywhere
near eqaully divided. What tho names
of the two great parties are cuts but
little figure; it is the principles they
advocate that will make them neces
sary. In the future there will be one
party adyocatiog the centralization of
power by contracting and manipulat
ing tha currency, while there will be
another favoring the retention of gov
ernmental power by the people brought
about by a loosening of the grasp of
monopoly through a liberal financial
legislation.

MR. SHERMAN TALKS.
When John Sherman resigned bis
seat in the United States senate to ac
cept a place in President McKinley's
cabinet, people wondered what was the
cause. . It was presumed that it was to
give Mark Hanna a place in the sen
ate. Now we have it direct from Mr.
Sherman that this was the cause of his
resignation. In a recent interview
with a New York World reporter Mr.
Sherman said:
"They really did not want me in the
cabinet, but wanted my senatorial seat.
It was represented to me that they
could net make up the cabinet withoi't
me, ana mat questions were coming
along that I ought to have control of.
I know that Hanna wanted the rest
of my term, and as he bad always been
friendly to me I did oot desire to seem
disobliging. So I resigned mv seat
and went into the cabinet. Mr. Hanna
