OF OREGON.
It la not doubted by any Intelligent ob
eerver of public affairs In the I'nlted
State that If United SUtes senators were
chosen directly by the people, many who
now occupy seat In that body would
never have obtained senatorial honors.
Unfortunately It Is not within the power
of the people of any state to provide for
the choice of United Statea senators by
popular elections. The Federal consti
tution, that Is the paramount law. directs
that senators shall be elected by the legis
latures of the respective states, and until
the supreme law of the nation be amend
ed there caa be no departure from the
present method of choosing senators.
Notwithstanding thla constitutional Im
pediment. It Is possible for the people ot
a state to control, nearly or absolutely,
the choice of senators by the legislature.
It haa been common In some of the mid
dle Western states to nominate candi
dates for United Statea senators, as nom
inee for e-overnor are selected, by a
state convention, and the people thus
know precisely for whom they are voting ;
for United States senator when they vote
for members of the legislature. A mem
orable contest of this kind was that be
tween Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A.
Douglas In ISM, In Illinois. They were
both selected by their respective parties
In state convention; they took the stump,
debated jointly In different sections of
the state, and Lincoln seemingly carried
the popular vote, but Douglas carried the
legislature. In the last contest In Illi
nois the Democrat nominated Mr. Mac
Veagb. and the Republicans, while mak
ing no formal nomination, were practical
ly united on Senator Cullora.
Another method of ascertaining the pop
ular will on the question of United States
senator was adopted In Pennsylvania In
1SSH. when Quay was a candidate for re
election. Representative Dalxell was the
leading candidate of tbe anti-Quay ele
ment, and In a number of the prominent
Republican counties of the state a direct
vote was had tor senator at the Republi
can primaries, resulting in a large popu
lar majority for Quay. This method 1
a very direct one, and gives every oppor
tunity for a party to emphasise its pref
erence for the best man for the responsi
ble position of senator.
It will be remembered that la tbe fa
mous contest In our legislature last win
ter the excuse urged by members of both
branches of the legislature for prolonging
tho fight against Senator Dolph-even
after the conteet had been settled by
a caucus nomination was that they
were holding out In response to direct
rppeals representing the popular senti
ment of their constituents. Thus the
Idea that the psople are to be consulted
In tbe choice to be made for United States
senator by the legislature will not be
new In Oregon, and since it is perfectly
understood all over the state that the bat
tle of the last legislative session Is to be
fought over again in the coming session,
experience dictates that the best way to
avoid dispute as to the real sentiment of
the people, and at the same time insure
the attention of the legislature to other
important functions during Its limited
session Is to obtain a direct popular ex
pression as to the choice of Senator
Mitchell's successor In advance of the
meeting of the legislature.
While the state committee has no au
thority to call for any such vota at
local primaries, it Is entirely within the
power of the Republican committees In
the various counties of the state to have
a direct expression from the Republican
people on the question of the next United
Slates senator, and there Is no reason
why it should not be done. All that is
necessary is fir tho Iioal committee of
ar.y county, in calling the Republican
primaries to nominate local officers, to
provide for a direct vote on the queg'
tlon of the senatorshlp, and to print the
names of all the known candidates on the
ticket This method would result In
very general expression of the party
throughout the state, and the legislature
would certainly respect the choice of the
party expressed In that manner.
It may not be likely that any one can
didate would carry a majority over all
others, but it would be an unerring fin
ger-board to guide the legislature In se
lecting a senator who would be most In
accord with the great mass of the Re
publican voters of the state. There is
ample time to put into operation this plan
for avoiding the errors and animosities
which came so near wrecking the party
last winter. The choice of a United States
senator can thus be brought into the
closest possible relation to the expressed
sentiment of the Republicans of the state,
and no good Republican who Is a pros
pective candidate will object to such a
method of testing his popularity and
claims to the office. .
The senate has been devoting much
time in the Intervals of- Populist abuse
of the president to the formation of
resolutions upon foriegn affairs that were
much better left to foreigners. The reso
lutions about Cuba, however, come near
I u.imn and will hav a much larger meas
ure of popular support. The resolution
propoe no violent action nor anything
thai l not clearly In accordance with
humanity and right. While the report of
the ccmmlttr clearly cxrrjra the sym
pathy el tb VnneJ flutes, with the reo
plr of Cub In th.-!c ilrjiro for self -govern-uirnt.
It doca not propose any present In
tervention In their behalf, but only that
the president ahall use hl good olllcee
with the government of Spain to secure
for the Cubans the recognition of those
belligerent rights In warfare to which
they are certainly entitled. Thl much
at leant congress need not hesitate to
aay. The attitude of Ibla county with
regard to Cuba has never been obscure,
but we have always acted frankly and
honorably toward Spain and It Is proper
that a formal protest against the present
situation should lie made with all possi
ble emphasis, even If other action should
afterwards be necessary.
AMKISICANS KOR TIIK NAVY.
The New York Tribune says: The Mil
Introduced by Mr. Uw in the house of
representative, providing for the estab
lishment of recruiting depots for the navy
along the New Kngland coast and on the
Hudson and the Oreat 1-akes. is directly
In line with the recommendations made
to Secretary Tracy by Admiral Krbvn In
ISS9. In a letter to the secretary of the
navy he then said that, with the excep
tion of those enlisted under honorable
discharge and continuous service certll-
catea, our man-of-war's men should be
taken from among our tanusmen or
watermen serving along the coast. He
did not believe that the best men were
reached by the receiving stations at Hos
ton. New York. Philadelphia and Han
Francisco, but that the tlnest recruiting
field was along the coast from the capes
of the Delaware to Eastport, Long Island
Sound, and the Delaware and Hudson
rivers. He proposed judicious advertis
ing In these regions, the sending of small
vessels at proper seasons of the year
along the coast and up the rivers to
gather in thoe m-tlllng to enlist, the
keeping of them apart from other man-of-war's
men. and the selection, as far
as possible, of petty o (fleers from among
their own number and the holding to
gether ot men from one locality.
AU the Important feature of Admiral
Erben's plan have been adopted by the
framer of the present bill and some other
valuable provisions have been added. Bo-
sides the admiral's proposed depots at
Portsmouth and Newport, recruits are to
be gathered at Bangor and Eastport, Me.;
Newburg, N. Y.; Erie, Pa., and Cleve
land. O. But It would seem that one of
the very best fields In the country, the
Columbia river and Puget sound reclon,
has been overlooked, ami ought to be
added bofore tbe final consideration of
the bill. This system of enlistment.
gathering up on training ships and dis
position for service in bodies Is to apply
only to Americans. This will be a spe
cial inducement for this class of men to
join the navy, and the government can
afford to grant some special privileges to
lessen the proportion of foreigners on our
men-of-war. Many young men along the
coast work harder on fishing and trading
boats part of the year and save up no
more than they would in the navy. But
the government service has not been at
tractive because It separated men from
friends and threw them among the for
eign sailors who were picked up In the
great cities. With reasonable concessions
to their superior lntellgence and feelings,
a large body of American sailors might
be gathered, similar to that which existed
when we had a great merchant marine
and were able to pick the best of our
native-born sailors for our warships. We
have no such body of merchant sailors
now, but we still have sturdy young
landsmen and fishermen, who with proper
Incentives can be drawn into their coun
try's service.
The Rev. Alois Kaiser, cantor of the
Oheb Shalom Temple, of Baltimore, has
been requested to write the music for the
Twenty-first Psalm, to be sung by a large
mixed choir In the Reformed Hebrew
congregation of Odessa, Russia. May 12
next, at special religious services to be
held there In honor of the coronation of
Czar Nicholas II, which is to take place
that day i.t Moscow. This psalm begins
with th words, "The king shall joy in
Thy strength, O Lord, and in Thy salva
tion how greatly shall he rejoice!" It is
frequently used In European ceremonies
connected with occurrences In which
royal personages are the central figures.
Its Hebrew title Is "Adonoy B'oxcho Yls
mach Melech." The words will be sung
in tho Odessa celebration in both Hebrew
and Russian. "Dr. Kaiser," says the
Baltlmoie Sun, "is the author of hun
dreds of melodies used in this country
and Europe In Hebrew religious observ
ances. A collection of his compositions.
In four volumes, comprising a complete
representation of the songs used on all
occasions in the Jewish services, is wide
ly used. As cantor he has directed the
musical portion of the services at Oheb
Shalom since 1MI, and the majority of
his compositions were first heard there.
He came to Baltimore from his native
city, Ylenna, Austria, and was natural
ized as an American citizen about
twenty-five years ago."
THIS MAN HAD COURAGE.
To Help Pay His 8tudent Bills He Sold
His Skin for Grafting.
Exchange.
Half a dozen men were relating experi
ences of college days when a young phy
sician said that In cases where students
were obliged to eke out their expenses in
a professional career by every possible
means there often occurred pitiful ex
amples of their courage. "Suppose, for
example, said he, "a case of Bkin graft
ing comes to the clinic, any student who
will give up his skin is paid & for each
bit. I remember one Instance in particu
lar, that of a hard-working young man
who gave ten bits of flesh to graft a new
face on a badly burned baby. As the
flesh must be healthy and fresh nothing
can be used to deaden the pain, and it is
cut from the Inside of the upper arm, the
most sensitive part Slices the size of a
silver dime are taken and laid quivering
on the wounded part where a new skin Is
to be grown. This fellow stood there
several days and allowed the surgeon to
slice off pieces from both arms, each
piece bringing the amount stipulated.
which paid for extra books, clothing or
food, and the poor fellow minded neither
the pain at the time of the operation
nor the lameness with which he was
afflicted for weeks after, neither did he
fear the risk of blood poisoning or other
difficulties which might ensue.
He had the satisfaction, however, of
seeing a baby face resume Its healthy
form and his examinations were passed
with brilliancy. He Is today a man well
known and honored In his profession.

Former Insueetor Alexan.br S. Will -

French's hotel, when he was transferred!
to the Oak street station. In the early

Colonel French heard the stat'-ment
made and decided to test the matter.
He had an old silver watch and chain,
which he did not value very highly, and
on afternoon, when he had an hour or
two to spare, he Husponiled It from a
lamppost in front of the hotel. Then he
stationed himself In a window within
sight of the larnpost and wait 1 iVv

Many persons looked longing

Finally a stalwart Individual wslk'i'
up the strc-t. glanced at the watch ami
chain, and then, rea'hlng up, plucked It
from Its resting place and sauntererl
down the street again, richer by one
ver watch and chain. When Colonel
French told the story to former Inspector
Wlli:;i'n.-i in after years he added:
"And th" person who took the watch
and chain wore blue clothes and brass
buttoriM, anil hail a silver shield announc
ing that h- was one of New York's finest.
I never saw the watch again, but made
up my mind that if the public would not
take It the police would, ami never tried
the experiment again."
