(Continued from first iasc. article, and that they would donate the material for the monument. He advocated the resolutions. The resolutions were unanimous ly adopted. W. P. Winans offered the fol fel fol eowing: for funds for the Whitman monu-1 Resolved. That trie canvassers ment be presented bv the corres ponding' secretary of the Pioneer and Historical Society with two subscription papers, to be pre sented to each donor of fund-?, on which the donor -be requested to designate his or hrr choice ofloca-tionfor-thc monument, whether upon the grounds of the Whitman Mission, or the grounds of the Whitman Seminary. The resolution was adopted and the meeting adjourned." During the 21st canvassers were appointed in accordance with the 4th resolution, three ladies and three gentlemen, Hon. R. R. Rees . and two other gentlemen, Mrs. " Judge C. 31 Wingard ancbfO other ladies, to canvass the city and vicinity for funds for tlie monu ment, and to deposit them in bank subject to the order of the Treas urer of the Pioneer and Historical Society "of Oregon. Your Secretary received from 0. & M. C. Moore the following note relative to the granite for the monument, herewith presented: On the evening of the 21st your agent took passage to the North Pacific junction of the railroad, near old Fort Wallula. On the 22nd readied Ainsworth and ex amined the granite blocks from the " Moore or Granite" Point ledge procured a specimen of the rock for the inspection of the Society, and found the blocks for the pro posed bridge wouldbeofMifficient size for the monument. 1 arranged with the agent of the N. P. Co.," Mr. Fa rweatlier, to in form vour .-mont as to the cost of " quarrying the rock, which I learned incidentallv would not be to ex ceed ten cents per cubic foot for the amount required. I received a pass from the agent to the Junction, and reached Port land on April 21th, on a pass from Walla Walla and return, from the agent of the company. ' On the 27th I called on Mr. Muir, Superintendent of Traffic, and received from him the follow ing communication in reference to freight on grauite for monument. The, terms were quite satisfactory. The JSIost Important. As the days go by and the time draws near that decides the politi cal complexion of our state gov ernment for the next four years, the usual amount "of crimination and re-crimination, of charges and counter-charges fiilsthecolumns of the party press, and while no de nunciation is too severe for those candidates who happen to lie on the opposition ticket, no laudation is too gre.it for those who 'stand on the "platform supported by the partisan paper. Alternately spat . tcred by foes and slobbered by friends, the e.indidato ii made to feel that his way, like that of the transgressor, is hard, and he must sincerely high for tiie eve of elec tion, that his troubles mavbe over and he be out of his misery, one way or the other. In our. humble opinion, the question of whether Moody or Smith shall be our governor for the next four years is entirely sub ordinate to the more important question of who shall be our rcp- resentatives'and state senators to legislate for this commonwealth, and to elect two United States senators. Time was when state sovereignty was more of a cardinal principle in politics than it now is; that the state officials were most important persons, and were, in their several jurisdictions,of almost equal importance with the presi dent himself. But we arc now a nation a word that a good many of us spell this way, NATION with all' that that implies. Far be it from us to take one jot away from the tremendous dignity that encircles astate official, or attempt to dim a rav of effulgence that emanates from the aujrust lorm ot a governor or secre- 5j5rrtSireasurer' kutj with all .due knowledge of the tremendous power they can sway, they after all are but men that havo the ex ecutive branch at their command, while the legislative side of the political triangle is of more potent effect in determining the relative value of the other two. Our legislatures, state and national, occupy at present an anomalous position. Originally created as a medium between the people and the rulers, transplant- nA onrl mnrlifiprl in ATnorinn crdl 1 and entrusted with powers morflj. than commensurate with their re-. ' ' sponsibility; the legislature which' originally was the bulwark of popular liberty is now generally left to questions of its own prerog ative, and falls an easy prey to unworthy and designing men. No wonder that political bosses abound when such plastic matei ial as the average legislator is ready to be moulded, as the impress of promise or coin may stamp his yielding clay to the form of the seal that the master wears upon his finger. In general, the meet ing of a legislature is regarded with apprehension by many well minded people, and its final ad journment deemed worthy cause for public thanksgiving in churches by those who feel that however bad the record was, it might have been worse, therefore we should be merry of heart that greater evil was happily averted. As a general thing a legislator when he gets to the state capital thinks that he has got to "do. some thing" right away. He is sent there bv a constituency that he fears may look upon him as tfiey would on :i carpenter or painter to whom they pay so much a. clay, and he must begin earning his money. It is a delusion that is shared by both electors and elect ed, and is injurious to the welfare of the state. It does not follow that movement is progress, nor that fussy agitation is of benefit, though many legislators, present and prospective, seem to think so. It is indeed, a grave temptation, to have the power to play the part of a bull in a china shop; indeed to be tacitly under promise to so play havoc and smash things, and yet restrain the natural propen sity of proud man to tear down, by reflecting that in clearing the deck for action it is never wise to fling overboard indiscriminately material that may come handy in the fight that is to follow. Then again, matters of policy and ques tions of private consideration come up that arc best disposed of by the tact that nature grants or edu cation endowb the individual. Taking into consideration all the mamtolu lmperlections ot poor human nature, the better plan" would seem to be in choosing the most responsible man on the ticket, the candidates for legislative honors to vote for the men that in the judgment of the sovereign elector has business -ability, com mon sense, and has enough g.od intention about him coupled with the ability to carry out said intent to do what lie believes to be for the best interest of the state as a whole. But of the three branches of our republican form of govern ment, the executive, judicial, and legislative, the last named in this era of our country's history, is the most' important, and should be so regarded by the thousands who hold in their hands the future of the state and nation.
