WHAT OCR EXCHANGES BAY.
The appointment of Henry W. Oorbett
to be United States senator from Oregon
is disappoinment to tbe people, al
though highly acceptable to a oertain
faction of tbe republican party. Mr. Oor
bett is a politioal back number. He has
been out of sight of tbe publio eye for
nearly a generation. The people had
quite forgotten him. He is not male ol
the stuff whioh goes to make a politioal
leader. His sympathies were never with
tbe people boJ tbe people bave never
been in sympathy with him. His ap
pointment is a misfit which can be ac
counted for only on; ne of two hypoth
eses. Tbe appoiutment is either a
temporary makeshift to keep stronger
and more available men out of the way
of a oertain man who aspires to be the
senatorial nominee of the next legisla
ture, or tbe influences brought to bear
have been otber than those of a a politi
cal charaoter. Governor Lord could
hardly have made a more injudioiou?
and unsatisfactory appointment. Mr.
Corbett's age and extreme physioal
incapacity, being almost a hopeless par
alytic, should bave been an insuperable
barrier to bis appointment to so honer
ous aud responsible a position. Oregon's
chief exeoutive has made a serious blun
der and one tor which the people will
not bold him politically irresponsible.

Volumes could be written upon tbe
senatorial situation of this state and
tbe appointment by Governor Lord of
H. W. Corbett, tbe Portland capitalist, to
succeed Senator Mitobell, but it is bard
to say anything regarding tbe politioal
complexion of the state without treading
on some one's toes, an aot wbioh migbt
cost as several round dollars. As dollars
are soaroe, and political opinions abund
ant, we will withhold ours at this very
oritical time. Wo are not icoliced to
believe that Mr. Corbott will be reoog
nized by tbe senate, as tbe august body
will find abundant reasons for ignoring
bis appointment if it sees nt to do so.
One thing is certain Mr. Corbett's finan
cial standing will give him plenty of
dignity in the senate, it that is a requi
site to tbe office. Arlington Record.
At a conference in Washington Toes
day night tbe silver republicans of tbe
house and tbe senate deoided that they
would not stand in the way of enaot
ment of the pending tariff bill. This is
tbe true policy. Tbe silver republicans
represent western oonstituenoles. Tbs
present tariff is unfair to western inter
ests. In this eeotion wool and lumber
are two ot our obief resources. 'Both are
on tbe free list, and the wool industry
bas been almost annihilated by tbe
nilson tariff. Throughout Montana,
Idaho, Washington and Oregon thous
ands of people once prosperous from
he profits ot this industry have suffered
severe losses, and many have been bank
rupted by the frightful deoline in tbe
prioe of wool. Restoration of the duty
on wool would put new life into this
languishing industry, and all interests
would share in the benefit. The rail
roads would have more tonnage, tbe
oouutry merchants would sell more mer
chandise, the local banks would profit by
(be restored oredit ot their old patrons
unong the wool growers, and employ
ment would be given to a large number
if wage earners.
So far as our interests are effeoted by
the existing sectional tariff, we have free
trade in the things we sell and protec
tion tor the thjogs we buy. This is
worse than absolute free trade. Since
tbe protective prinoiple is to be contin
ued indefinitely, it is the duty of every
western representative to work for fair
treatment for western industries. The
silver republicans ought to go a step
further in their course as planned at
ruesday night's meeting. They ought
to throw their united inflaenoe for ade
quate duties on wool, lumber, barley,
lead, bops and foreign fruits. Spokane

W. H. Spangb, chairman of tbe Lane
county populist oentral committee, ex
pressed bis opinion of tbe legislative
bold-UD through the columns ot tbe
Florenoe West last week in tbe follow
ing letter:
"Mb. Editor. That Populist Mani
festo published in tbe West week before
last strikes me as ratber a lame exouse
tor our representatives to give for stand
ing in with tbe old party politicians.
Tbey claim that great things could be
accomplished it one oertain republican
was elected speaker ot the bouse. Do
tbey think that the rank and file ot tbe
people's party are all tools and oan be
made to believe that, with the aid of this
stalwart republican as speaker of the
bouse, legislation oan be secured in spite
of a republican senate and governor?
Tbe Holt judge of eleotioo bill failed in
a republican sen a te two years ago and
what assurance does this manifesto give
that it will not meet the same fats again
this time regardless of who is tbe speak
er of the bouse? Has this particular
candidate for speaker of tbe bouse any
oontrol over tbe ao lions of senate or tbe
veto power ot tbe governor? If so, why
not mention it iu the manifesto? If
not, then tbe reasons given in tbe mani
festo are false reasons and are only
given out in lieu of tbe trne ones. It 1
were on tbe ground things might appear
different, but as I see no good reasons
for people's party representatives to be
scheming witb old party politicians to
block legislation, and of one thing 1 feel
sure: The people's party is gaining no
reputation tor bocesty and fair dealing
by such a pcliov. The manifesto is too
thin to bold water and smacks strongly
of old party taotios. Anything to fool
the people." Ashland lU'cord.
The U. S. Senate bas refused to seat
H- W. Corbett, the millionaire banker ot
Portland, whom Governor Lord recently
appointed to take Hon. J. H, Mitchell's
plaoe, at whioh Mitobell is of oourse
g eatly pleased. Some ot tbe papers
think that tbe governor will cow call an
extra session, but our guess is that be
will do nothing of tbe kicd. Tbe result
is that Oregon will bave but one senator
for the next two years. It is a safe bet
that Simon, Bourne and his highway
men, or hold-ups, will not be in it tbe
oext time, as there will be another eleo
tion before tbe legislature convenes
again. Globe.
