2! ' ' "" Weston Weekly Leader. ITltf DAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1885. Ota WASUI.t.T-N 1-EITfcB. Tub Snatoruil strode at Salem in ended al W for tba present. Tb labor has bee sevtre, but the ifht forth mountain caa w.-0--- Ten a moose. It cam. pretty near It: Ilirech cot thirty -saveo vete Governor Moody Is in a dileopma: the aiecotivo is in doubt. On the 16th of fbruary a concurrent res olution was adopted p'acing time of th adjournment of the Leg- Mature at 12 o'clock midnight of February 20ih. At the eleventh hour, no Senator having been elect d. the Republican majority in both Houses attempted to rsctr.d the resolution. Thcv think that they . succeeded. The Democrats think otherwise. Governor Moody thinks the Legislature has not yet adjourn d. Appearances are against idea. The fate of several bills are at stake. Having passed both Houses they may die on the Gover nor's hands, who has ten days after adjournment to sign or veto them. But if the Legislature has not ad- juurned,when will it do so,and how The Leader does not know. Then, again, if the Legislature Las actual Jy adjourned, and it looks as if it had really done that wise act, may Governor Moody appoint a Senator to succeed Slater? Now the Lead er is in doubt. Partisan Republi can newspapers and lawyers agree that the Governor may. Partisan Democratic newspapers and law yers agreo that he may not. There might as wall be no law bearing on the subject, but there is: and if it wag-not explained by lawyara a con clusion might be arrived at. As it is, party will probably decide the point. Party is sometimes stronger than law among mere politicians. The Governor is Republicaa. If ha should appoint, the United States Senate would decide upon the legality f the act. The United States Senate is alse Republican. It would probably sustain his ac tion. It may therefore be assumed that the Governor has the legal right to appoint Senator Slater's successor as soon as Slater's term expires The Republicans tceia to have the best of it all round. We mAva t ..n.n.i.l.a The German Reichstag, or par liament, has passed a bill raising tha duty en wheat and rye. The duty on these articles is now so 'high as to amount almost to prohi bition of importation. This last aaova of Bismarck's is intended to protect the landlords and farmers of Germany. Protectionist papers in this country seem to regard it as a kind of an outrage. Of course it will raise the price of hrcadstuQs in Gormany. But ( protection in the United States raises the pries of a .great many of the necessaries of life ia this country. The principle is ihe same in both cases. The Ger man protection is not perhaps as mischievous as the American pro tection, as the former benefits a .greater number of persons. The Geruiaas have now practically ex - eluded our breadstuff's, pork and lard. Here is one of our customers .cut off. it has been fashionable uqodi the continental countries of Europe to imitate the policy of Bis marck. Terhaps seme of them will o so in this particular. It is noth ing but reasonable to suppose that the protection policy pursued by our government will meet with Haas ures ol retaliation. Our one-sided system of trading cannot last al ii . . wt. ii wo wouiu soil we must buy. Perhsps it would he better to realize tins before the countries who have been' buying our surplus prod nets have excluded the siae by ad- ars9 legislation and learned to do - without them. TV r itu reiereuce to the interesting question now before the peoplo of Oregon, the Constitution of the United States says, "and if vacan cies happen, by resignation or oth erwise, during a recess ef the legis lature of any Staie, the executive . t tnereoi may make temporary ap fiointtunr.la nnil tl.a . l - ucai niee.tng of the legislature, which shall then fill such vacancies." At this junc ture it is a case of "otherwise" in its worst form, for which there seems to be be no prescribed remedy. Sec 50, Chap. 14 of the General Laws of Oregon reads aa follows: "Whenevoia vacancy shall occur during a recess of tho Legislature, in any office which tho Legislature ia authorised to fill by elation, the Governor, unless it is otherwisa specially provided, may appoint soma suitable parson to perform tho ; dutiea 6f such office." W. are not awaro that tbo filling 0f ,uch a Ta. cancy aa will occur at the end of Senator Slater's term otherwise (pedal! r provided" for, an! there for it would seem to be the privi lege oi the Governor to fill the va cancyif it is-vae within the mean ing of the law.. From Our Regular Correspondent. Vasbingtos, Feb. 14, 1885. The city coa sealed in arctic weather L making preparations for the coming event, the 4th of March. The Democrats are preparing for a great demonstration and the Re publicans are preparing to grin and bear it. Hotel and boarding house keepers ar preparing to pack their quests like sardines it. a box, and various culitary and civic organiza' Hons are preparing to entertain their brethren from abroad. Pres ident Arthur is preparing to vacate the VV lute House to tho political successor of James Buchanan and while. Messrs. Blaine, Reed, Hoar, br.erinan, et al may be preparing for death, they are not preparing to admit that tho war which their malice and ambition has prolonged for twenty years beyond its heroic term is now a thing of the past. Ihe irelinghuysen s, Blame s Brewster s, Chandler's, with their satellites and parasites will go, The new society, I imagine, will be composed in part of the ancien re gime, the old residents who have lived in seclusion during the Grant era and the Hayes usurpation. The social tone will depend much on th Cabinet of Mr. Cleveland, for so ciety bore takes it cue and hue, a great extent, from those high in office. It is the general impression that the next will be a working ad ministration, it certainly has a task before it, and it would not be sug gestive of work to see the houses of the Thurman's, Bayard's and Gar land a of the next administration given over to mid-nights revels, as has been too much the case of lats years in Washington. An extra session of Congress is thought to be very probable, but whetber there is an extra session or not there will be something going on here after the fourth of March. It is not expected that one hundred thousand office holders will bo im mediately turned out. But a new Cabinet with new Chiefs of Bureau, new chief clerks, and new foreign ministers will be appointed with, as little delay as possible. There will be some fifty thousand Postmasters to appoint, and a general and ju dicious cleaning out of the idle, in competent, superanuated, and the merely political rata and barnacles who have industriously drawn their salaries from the public treasury for years and years. Many clerks in the departments have been trying to have their pa pers, which show that they were recommended by prominent repub licans, withdrawn from tho tiles. Secretary McCullock, however has dunied their requests and says that he proposes to turn over the files of tho Treasury Department intact. This, of course, is right, aud noth ing more. If a clerk has been re commended ' by Senator Kellogg, ef Louisiana, Mr. Blaine, or Sena tor Hoar, for. no better reason than hat he is a republican, and has done political work for his patron, it is of interest to the country and the couiini administration to have it on record. When an examina- of the appointment files has been mads it will be found that a major ity of the male employes hava been appointed for political purposes. Ihe House ha.! its usual row on Monday. Mr. White of Kentucky, a diaturbinj element was ruled out of order by Mr. Blackburn, the acting Speaker. The Sergeant-at-Arms was sent to seat him. That officer forgot his mace. Mr. White resisted, as the officer had no badge of authority. The mace was se cured, and, when it was no longer needed, Mr. White was seated. For an hour there was turbulence and wrangling over this, but Mr. Blackburn triumphed. There was another disorderly scene in the House of Representatives on Tues day over the White incident of tne day before. The Republicans in sisted that the personal rights of a member had been infringed by an officer without a badge of office, and that the journal did not accur ately state that fact. Ellbrts have been made by the Republicans to show that the River and Harbor bill this year is an al most unprecedentedly bad one, and that it is the first grab ef the Solid South upon the Treasury. As a matter of fact, the roost indefensi ble items in the bill were those known as the Eads appropriations, and these have all been erased. They were much more in the inter est of Captain Eads than of the Solid South. The worst River and Harbor bill in the country's his tory was passed by a Republican Congress aud vetoed by President Arthur. Senator Palmer made his initial speech in the Seuate last week, and it is also noted as being the first set speech in Congress in favor of the cause of woman suffrage. His Jspeect-i cured at least one convert to the cause, in this wise: l aluier, Pike, of Now Hampshire; Mender son, of Nebraska and Bowen, of Colorado, sit in the four seats which form the outer row on the Repub lican side ef the Senate. This row is elevated abov the others a trifle, Palmer, Manderson and Bowen have named it Pike's Peak, in hoi.or of the New Hampshire Sena tor. Like the men who sat on the "mountain," in the first French As sembly, tho deuizens of Pike's Peak are leagued together, and vote alike on all questions uutil the day of J: aimers ertort there was one ex ccption. Pike would not vote for sxtenston of suffrage to women. He would vote for anything else, but he could not vote for that. But after Palmer got through, Pike was foremost in the group of Sena tors gathered about him, and was the first to coagratulate him, with tho remark. "Well, Palmer, here after we'll vote solidiy on every proposition." To wbi -h Palmer re plied: "That's right. I thought I would catch you. I was fishing for pike to-day." According to senator Edmunds, Mr. Cleveland "appeura to be Pres ident It was Aristotle, or some other eminent worthy of antiquity, who laid down the law that "what appears to all to be, is." Mr. Cleve land s title, therefore, seems to be good. But by his remarks. Mr. Edmunds has reminded the people that no legal way is now prescribed for settling a dispute in the count, and the attention of the country is called sharplv to the defects in our electoral machinery. Tho "dynamite resolutions have happily died a quiet death in the House foreign aaairs committee. STATE MEWS.

The trial at New Orleans of Judge Thomas Ford of the Second Recorder s Court, on a charge of the murder of a man named Mur phy, is bringing forth what the New Orleans papers term "a vast amount of perjured testimony," and steps are being taken for Ford's im peachment and removal from the beach.
