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

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.

Senator Slater's term otherwise

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.
