Till-, iliije he Compels Hie faf luera to leave their forms and remove to the towns. The rosult will be the same it always ban been In free America. After several mouths of lnape lion, representatives of the Japan government signed, at Washington Itoc. 31st. contreVta with American builders to contract two war ships. The Cramps, of Philadelphia, get one cruiser and the Union Iron Works, of Han Francisco, the oilier. These are Ihe first contracts signed for ves sels of Japan's new navy. The St. Iiuis Globe Democrat of IiiHt .Sunday states: "Ex-Oov. Fen noyer, now Mayor of Portland, Or., has el ven half of his salary to the poor. This Indicates not only a spir it of commendable benevolence, but also a proper sense of the value of his house services to the city." This is 1m nortant news out here but its truth THAT CAUCUS AQA1S. That a senatorial caucus will be held, notwithstanding the objections of the Oregonian is hardly a question of doubt; although with the decided republican majority in the present legislature there is no political neces sity for such action. There would be less objection to a caucus were it not for the fact that as usually held, it gives opportunity for those partici pating to betray their constituents with impunity as detection is im possible where the secret ballot is used. This betrayal of the interest of constituents could be easily prevent ed' ii" ne element of secret voting in ucn caucus were removed. As the vote in the caucus Is expected to determine the question before it as effectually as the vote In the sena torial convention, this should be taken in either rase so that those voting could be held accountable to their constituents for the manner in which their votes are cast. Th co gnvii sna v.Thy thf voting should not be as oen in a eaucus held to determine who shall be supported for United States sen ator as lu the Joint convention of Ihe house to elect. The people have a (rood right to know how their ser vants vote on all questions, and an open vote in caucus is the only plan that will insure that Information. Treachery in the caucus has been so notorious in Oregon that it is no unusual thing for a large minority ot those engaged in it to absolutely re fuse to be bound by its decisions, This would be avoided if every vote in the caucus for U. 8. Senator wax taken by ayes and nays; a record ol the same kept with the same care that a vote in legislatuie is kept, and under the pledge of secrecy so far as individuals have voted, until the joint convention of the two has made the final choice. The only ones to object to this plan would be those who intended to be- terests and the public must do like wise whenever there is a conflict of interests. Hence some agency must be employed suitable for this pur pose and the majority of the state use a commission. It is contended by some that the preseut law in this state does not give the railroad commiss ion sufficient power to do what it might for the public. If that be so, it is within the power and it should be the province of the legislature to pass such a law as would confer up on the commission ample powers. Again it is contended that the com mission is too expensive. If that be so, it is the promise of the legislature to a'ast tbai zho.- A3 io Lc&ci at commlssioi should be appointed by the governor, elected by the legisla ture or by the people is a matter of little consequence to the public, as it propriatlon for the insane, there is in sight for the coming legislature, a reduction in its appropriations of more than $500,000 over the legisla ture of two years ago. THE DEATH OF LOU EAILEY. There is a touching eadneas sur rounding the death of "Lou" Bailey as her friends affectionately called her. Both her older sisters bad died quite young. Naturaly the develop ment and growth of their apparently aencaie cnuu, were wanned with a tender solicitude and anxiety, Inten si fled by previous bereavments. It is not strange that she became the center of strong family affection Unusually sweet tempered, amiable and afTectiduate in disposition and precocious in Intellect, she merited is chiefly interested In the results se- the wealth of affection so freely bes- cureii in Its Interests. That proper towed. There are no harsh or provision be made by the legislature frowns associated with her memory, for securing the righU of the public Her constant cheerfulness, kindly against the railroads, is certainly greetings, pleseut words and kind demanded. a IHL.UK TO SAVE. The Oregonian examining the last appropriation bill concludes that a sav Ing may be made by omitting the following items from the next ap propriations : .Still board of agriculture 10,000 Uregon agricultural 6,tJC all who knew her. If her gentle spirit must leave, it was tit tine that it should be on the day when all the world rejoiced in commemoration of the birth of its Redeemer, and when the sun shone with unusual bright ness, as if to guide her gentle spirit home. To the bereaved family, Christmas will have a new slngitic ance. As each anniversary brings Its tender sadness, the chords of memory and affection will draw them closer to each other, while their faces will turn heavenword where loved ones await their tract.

Had the St. Louis paper stated that he had levied another assessment on the fireman and pol icemen for a legislative corruption fund we could have tielieved it. list In another column appears a of Items which the Oregonian thinks fhe record will tray their constituents. Let the re publicans of the coining legislature show that they are willing the peo ple should know how they vote in aaucus on this imitortant question. A refusal to let them know this by be evidence su til- can be cut from the appropriation bill this year. This ia true in tht main. yet the Indki'eniient is not prepared to endorse the whole list. A closer scrutiny must be made be. fore the session is far advanced There is one thing, though, that ought to le given to the press touch ing the appropriation bill and that is the estimates of the secretary of state. The eople have as good right to study those estimates and are as capable as the ways and means com miticeof the house. Fortunately the credulity of the the average republican will not be violently assaulted by the story the Oregonian uses a column to circulate to the effect that the leas. ing of rooms at Salem by Jonathan llourno has connection with Mitchell's candidacy for the senate, Mitchell and Bourne have not been political friends since the latter left the republican party and supported liryan. Rut so much cannot be said of Mr. llourno and Mr. Simon, Those gentlemen have len closeted together recently, and If Jonathan ever sits in tho sitoaker's chair, it will be by the assistance of Joseph The only way we have of judging of the future Is by the past. At the last session of the legislature the houso sent to the senate 27 measures that were referred to committees but not reiMirtod back. They were pocketed. These were bills. There were 8 concurrent resolutions re ferred, 1 joint resolution and 1 me mortal. Among the bills referred was II. H. No. 7 introduced by Fax ton. It repealed the act authorizing the purchase of the jute mill for the penitentiary: No. 350 authorizing charging and collecting tolls on fer ries and bridges in the city of Fort land, referred to the senators ol Multnomah county; No. 32 regulat ing the niaintainance of wire fences in Kastern Oregon; No. 53, Holer, taxing foreign insurance company No. 1 reealing law creating board of railroad commissioners, No. 2i0, regulating fees in J. F. courts. These cient that they intend to betray the sacred trust placed in their keeping. It AII.NO AD COMMISSIONS. One of the things the coming legis lature will have to deal with is the railroad commission, what shall be done with it? Shall it be abolished and the public left to the mercy ol the railroads with no redress but the courts? Shall It be retained as it is, or shall it be reconstructed and its powers extended. iKach of these theories Is likely to have support in the legislature. If it Is useless, it should be ahol Ished by all means. If it is useful, it should be retained in some form suit ed to the circumstances. The busl ness of railroads is with the public and it Is from it that they obtain remuneration for the service they render. That the remuneration be uniform and reasonable, is claimed by the public, and legislation Is sought to secure this right, and a commission Is one means of enforcing legislation for this purpose. Thlrty.four of tho states have rail road commissions in some form. Some of them have been In existence for more than thirty years, aud have long since ceased to be experimental but are to be regarded as an import ant part of the machinery of the state government. The powers bestowed uKn the commission in the different states and the manner in which they are constituted, are quite different, but the main object of the commissions that of enforcing the rights of the public and pr serving the equities between the public and the railroad? are the same, The various state legislatures have very different opinions as to the best methods of regulating matters affect ing railroads and the public. In some states, Illinois for example, the laws are quite drastic and their strict en forcement would entail endless strife and litigation. In others, such as Massachusetts and New Hampshire, the powers granted the com m lesions Kaetern denes. Southern Oregon district agricul tural eocietlee 8.000 Domestic antrual e immissioa ....
