Synopsis of the Governor's Message
to the Legislature.
NO CONCEDED SENATOR AS YET
'resident-Simon, of the Senate Expresses
His Views-Speaker E. W. Carter, of
the House, Makes-a "Hit" The
Senatorial Factions Are Very
Cautious.
Portland Evening Telegram.
State House, Salem, Or., Sept.
of tbe governor's message:
Oar country has reached a critical period in history.
few years will mark an advance or
Momentous issues nave grown out
tion of the Nioarapuan canal has become imperative, and the disposi
tion of the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico is a question demanding
the best brains and wisest statesmanship.
The Pacific coast is vitally interested, and Oregon needs a senator
at Washington of experience, capacity and courage. These matters
will probably be passed upon this winter, so the election of a senator
shonld not wait until the regular session.
The failure of the legislature
without appropriations, and forced it to run on credit. Consequently
many warrants were drawD, vouohers issued and claims filed. This
business should' be disposed of, and not left for the regular session,
when two appropriation bills would afford a chance to raid the treasury
witn dickering and jobbery.
The business of tbe supreme
docket is behind two years. A commiasiouers' court is recommended.
Attention is called to the invitation of the French republic to
participate in the world's fair in 1900.
' " The governor states that a contraot was made in 1893 with J.
Loewenberg und the Northwestern etove foundry, for tbe sale of con
vict labor and lease of the Btate stove foundry, but Loewenberc has
defaulted in payments, and immediate attention is neoessary to secure
the large amounts due. With tbese various matters out of the way,
the regular session will have an opportunity to pass tbe remedial
legislation promised in the party platforms aod necessary to the wel
fare of the state.
To the Telegram: The fact
a bled to organize itself as a body ready for business indicates very
clearly tbat this branoh of the legislature proposes living op to its
pledges to the people, and will
thoroughly satisfactory manner.
while I recognize tbe honor conferred upon me. I am not unmindful
of the obligations tbat such a position entails.
A paramount issue, in my mind,
senator, and I feel now more convinced than over that II. W. Corbett
will unquestionably be elected Aside from this there are several im
portant questions tbat will come up for our coneideration. Chief of
these is the matter of a new city charter for Portland With f
modifications I believe tbe Hated bill will be passed.
It is a matter of note that tbu senate today wa more quickly
organized and actually began buaioees by tbe introduction of bills
sooner than any of its predecensors of former years.
Salem, Or., Sept 27. J08EPII SIMON.
To tbe Telegaam : In lookiog over tbe list of members who com.
pose tbe house of representatives it is pleasing to note tbat they are
a oniformly representative class of citizens; aud the work of framing
such needed legislation as will be required by this state ought to be
well taken care of in their bands.
In my election today I feel very highly honorivL It does Dot
come about, as has been staUn, by reason of any combination: over tbe
eenatorial contest In fact, my election has oi bewiotf upon the
senatorial contest wbatever. I atn abmilutitly oopled,;, and shall
vote for Uuited States senator as roy ju.ltfmLt dictates. A oy refer,

Ai'1e from the election of Unit! HUlew senator the general ap

IS THIS FAIR?
. The Oregon ian of Sunday last in a
leading article on the first page disease
ing tbe corning senatorial eleetion, con
tained some statements in reference to
Congressman Tongue, wbiob that gen
tleman denies. On Monday be sent to
Ibe Oregonian the following letter:
"The Oregonian of yesterday io a
leading artiole upon tbe ooming sena
torial eleotion contained reference to
siyself wholly unwarranted . Referring
to the aotion of tbe Uuited States senate
in deolining to admit Mr. Corbett upon
the appointment of Mr. Lord, you make
tbe following statement : '
"Ex-Senator Mitobell left no atone I
unturned to prevent Mr. Corbett being
seated, and there is no reason to doubt
that Representatives Tongue and. Ellis
did what tbey ooald in tbe same direc
tion. ' ; ' ' " ' ' i
"So far as the foregoing is intended to
imply or intimate that I took any part
or endeavored to use any iufluenoe witb,
aoy senator to prevent tbe admission o(
Mr. Corbett, or to inflaenoe votes npon
tbat matter it is without any foundation
whatever. I did not oommuoioate witb
a single senator concerning the merits of
Mr. Oorbett'i right to adoaiesion, Dor . for
the purposeof inflnenoiog his vote either
way. Mr. Corbett's right to be admitted
depended upon the oongtruotion of the
oonstitatioo, and the precedents estab
lished by tbe United States senate. If
anyone not a member of tbat body and
who bed not studied tbe qaeslions in
volved, nor read Ibe authorities had at
tempted to iostrnot United Statee sen
ators io tbe diaoharge of tbeir sworn
duty, it would have been a piece of
nnosual impertience and probably re
baked as it would have deserved to be.
"Io the same editorial you soy: An
nnpleasant story ia floating around
wbioh can bardly be believed, but which
it may be well enough to notioe by way
of warning. A plan is said to have been
hatobed by wblob the organisation of
tbe legislature on its optniog day to be
prevented by tactics yet to be agreed
npon. A conference held last week be
tween Mitobell, Ellis, Tongae, Fulton,
John Hall and one other, is said to have
evolved this plan of Campaign.
" Bo far as this paragraph refers to
myself, it is ootrne in every particular.
I have not met nor conferred opon any
question with ths gentlemen named.
Who tbe "one other" is, it is impossible
to say, but I bava not met personally,
nor held any oommanicatioo witb a part
of the gentlemen named since returning
to Oregoo. Have not conferred with any
one npon any plan to prevent lbs organ
ization nf the legislature on lis opening
day, or at any other time, liava beard
no snob plan. Nothing of ths kind has
been saggeatsJ. I bsvs heard of no
oonfsrsnos bstweeo en ) body opon mob
a subject aod certainly bavs taken part
is coos. Should ths legislators adjonro
opon ths first day of ill meet leg sod de
fer tbs work until its regolar session,
lbs slats soold possibly sorvivs lbs
ealamlty, Oreios has sot usually soffer-
ed from s dearth of legislation. Bat I
certeinly bops to see Ibis legislature
sither at lbs special or regular session
act with reasonable promptness) to lbs
eleetion of Uuited Htates sens tor. I bops
to ee it elect sums gentleman who is
eowpetsot to diecberga ths dalles of
that Important position with digoily
and booor, who will be a ersdit to tbs
state, who will attain ths pusitioa br
elean instbuds sad wboee election will
sot be regarded as s faolmoal triumph,
but will secure to ths republican parly
of Oregon some degree of tbst bar moo y

HE'8 CHIEF OF THE CAYCBE.
Sbowaway Does Up the Lapwal Bports at
the Bacea.
East Oregonian.
Paul Showaway, tbe rightful chief of
tbe Cayness, one of the tribes on - tbs
Umatilla Indian reservation, baa re
turned fro nj Lapwai, where be has been
for three months visiting tbe Nez Peres
Indiaos. Paul, by those who have given
particular attention to the subjeot, is
said to be the rightful king of tbeOayuse
tribe, and Yoong Chief,, the proliflo
source of official Fourth of July procla
mations and Poo Bah of tbe reservation,
tbese eame persons assert, is an usurper.
Paul is phiosophioal, however, and says
always, in answer to questions as to why
be does not assert bis authority and don
the purple robes of kingship:
" Heep no good any more. Cay use
chief no amount to aoy more than any
other Indian. No one pay any atten
tion to Young Chief. White men spoil
chief's fun and no good be chief any
more."
Paul is a good Indian, or rather a good
tor a live Indian, for tbe oommon belief
is that an Indian is nood only when hs
is dead. Bat Paul will gamble, and hs
bad rather place money on a horse raos
than to reign on the throne of tbe Gayose
Indian nation. While at Lapwai he did
some plunging. The raoes brought out
the best animals and there were other
dark-skinned bloods : there who would
not take bis bluffs. Ho ou one race hs
put up 8200, and lost. Tbe horse on
wbioh he lost was "Heep Sharp Toma
hawk," ' bay gelding, owned by "Man
Afraid of His Cayuse," of the Lapwai's.
But Paul was only sparring for wind,
to use a ring ezpreeaion. He was only
drawing on tbe dueky boys and playing
the talent. They bad auother race.
Paul baoked "Thunderbolt, brown geld
ing, a horse suspeoted of coming from
Morrow, a famous running thoroughbred
stallion, owned by Tom Mutlock, of
Heppner, and tbs mars onoe owned by
Win-im Snoots. Hers was where Paul
