The following from tho Portland
Standard has some practical sense,
hut does not cover the entire
greund:
The people, we believe, are to
vote upon a very important con
stitutional amendment nt this elec
tion. It is proposed to change the
present limit of fort- days to sixty,
and in place- of 83 per day for the
membera to 3. under our pres
ent apportionment, this change
would greatly increase the ex
penses of our legislature, and the
people should consider it well be
fore they create any additional
burdens. We are satisfied that the
present pav of members is inade
quate and should be iucrcased.
But we aro equally .-atisliecl that
the Legislature is loo large for our
population. If it is proposed to
increase the salary, the number of
senators should be reduced ono
third and the house the same. By
this means, tho increased expense
would not be materiil, and we aro
satisfied that sixty good tnombcrs
would enact more useful legisla
tion in forty days than ninety do
under the present salary. Wc do
not regard it necessary to extend
the length of the sessions, but we
deem it of tho greatest importance
that the time of the meeting of the
legislature bo changed to a later
date in the year, say to the hVt
Mondav itt December. Tho ses
sion now begins at tb very busy
season f the year, and men who
would be willing to serve tho peo
ple at almost any other tiiiirt can
not afford to neglect their business
interests to g. to Salem at any
price. The reason-, heretofore ex
isting for meeting in September
will not ovist after I lie next p--sion.
It has been argued that the
members from paste: n Oregon
could not depend on getting houio
in tho winter, and that travel for
southern members was too bad.
Within the uevtyoar rail road - will
accommodato all parts of the state,
and wo itoini tho legislature will
make the change, at its next m-s-mon.
No member should bv elect
ed to the iegiilatuto who is in
favor of the increase of pay, un
less he is also in favor of reducing
the number of member-, m as not
to increase materially the e.peu--n.
In addition to the above it is in
order to say that the Mate should
be redistricted. At pi cent it is
ridiculously tlis-jirojiortioimto. Here
in Ciatsop county Vc get but one
senator in connection with Colum
bia and Tillamook otintios, and
one representative in connection
with tho last named county, Co
lumbi getting one singly; while
ih5 facts of the ease would justify
us in having u senator and two
represenatives from this county
alone. A more even distribution
of representation would be satis
factory and need not militate
against a certain reduction in tho
total assembled at Slem to legis
late for the commonwealth.
Governor Thayer is of the opinion
that the legislative assembly must
first take steps to submit the pro
posed amendment to tho electors
of tho state; so that it will be one of
the first things for the legislature
to do. In tho meantime tho mat
ter of constitutional amendments
will not be. anion? the things
to be voted on at the coming elec
tion. Darwin's Creed.
T111: recent death of Darwin,
whose name is indissolubly con
nected with the theory of evolu
tion, has given renewed impulse
to the discussion of this and sun
dry matters. Darwin and his be
lievers havo beeu charged with a
desire to overturn existing schemes
of theology, when it would appear
from his life that ho was actuated
solely by a desire toobtain the truth.
He has given an excellent defini
tion of tho theory of evolution,
which,, however, thoughit is often
called by his name, was not origu
titsd but only widely diffused by
hire. He bays, la a tontence,
("Those who hold hc theory of
evolution conceit o that there
aro grounds for b.elioving that the
preterit conformation and composi
tion of tho carr.h's crust, tho distri
bution of land and wator, and tho
infinitely diversified forms of ani
mals and plants which constitute
its present population, are merely
the final terms in an immense
series of changes which have been
broughtabout, in tho course ofim
measurable time, by the operation
of causes more or less similar to
those which are at work at the
present day." This Is tho doctrine
as it is generally held. It will be
observed that tho ideas ol an
original creative energy, and of
final cause, nro not nt all pre
cluded. That tho agitation of Irish nf-
airs in Great Britain has been
productive of some good, is iory
apparent from the effort of English
Conservatives to get the advantage
of Liberals in the matter of an Irish
Land bill. Tho proposition of the
former parly to buy out all the
landlords who aro willing to sell
their cstatcson tho basis of twenty
ouo years of the rent, as judicinlly
fixed, has caused some uneasiness
among the Liboial party, which
fears that miuo political capital
may be gained and lost thereby.
Tho Irish peoplo are reported to
bo in favor of a bill carrying out
this plan, and tho Radicals are com
mitted to its principle beyond hope
of reconsideration.
Of the celebrated Erskine, the
lawyer, it was said that "'out of
his wis: and gown he talked in a
most gauche and foolish way; in
it o that you would trust your
lifts and fortune in his hands.''
And of Rogers the peet: "To the
last ho could never resist the temp
tation to say an illnaiured thing;
thouo-h he- was alwavs readv to
. " "I
11, . i ....- ... -....,........ ,
How frequent such contrast?, nro.
Some preeminently prudent in act,
fpolish in word; sonio blundering
in talk or oral debate, but never
slipping when with pen in hand;
and others again in both elates
vice vertu.
