II. H". VORUETT, SFSATOt.
Oov. Lord announces in advance
that he will not heed any jietition
that the people may milnnlt asking
for an extra (tension. That is, the
"right of petition" at one time
thought so dear to the jieople is to be
trampled under foot. A correnpon
dent sends a caustic criticism on
this division of the governor, but be
cause of its extreme bitterness it is
withheld. However, it is proper for
the governor to be Informed that the
M'ople are thinking and that they
will be restive.
Sheriff Bradford Is now collecting
117,810, state taxes which will be
taken out of the circulation of Wash
Ington county and piled up In the
state treasury for two years while the
state is buying supplies at a ficticious
price for the state Institutions. We
we will too, have to pay Interest on
these claims, lint who gets the in
terest on those 17,810 good dollars of
ours? Further, next year a similar
sum will be collected and piled away
for one year.. This state of things is
due lo Populist liourno, Bark ley,
L'Ren and the other who refused to
urKniiijw mo legislature.
( hie of the speakers at the manu
fHcturers' association in Portland last
Tuesday night plead for reciprocity.
He said we In the country asked aid
of the association In Installing new
enterprises, which, as an asHOcatinm
they were glad to entend. In return
however, they asked that consumers
nould return the civility by' buying
only articles of Oregon ' make and
production when there was a choice.
All Oregon made goods has a small
laliel printed In red ink bearing
am its face the words ."mado in
Oregon." Consumers, generally,
would patronize home production,
but it is doubtful If this Utile trade
mark is familiar to the fonsumer,
and the association will do well to
make them familiar with it so that
its shape and color will tell its story
without compelling the prosjiective
purchaser to stop and read the in
script ions.
Hie iiranis i ass l onrler sums up
thesituatioivln this paragraph: "The
tax-payers of Oregon who had any
hope that useless commissions would
be cut off, or that the people' inter
rats would be looked after in a busi
ness like way, are left to pay interest
on slate warrants for the next two
years, while the money that is ex
torted from them lies Idle in the
treasury vaults, or Is lo mcd out by
the state treasurer, who can make a
fortune off the interest In the mean
time. This is the legislative muddle
In a nutshell. Oregon can get along
very well without a senator, but
there will Is? loud anil deep mourn
ings over the state if we have to pay
8 percent, interest on warrants while
the gold to pay the principal reposes
In the hands of the state treasurer."
The Oregon Ian, though, thinks there
will be a great saving. The regon
Ian now is engaged in making it ap
pear that black is white.
Importers are frightened by a re
port that has gained currency to the
effect that congress will pass an
emergency bill laying duties on for
eign goods so as to forestall the prac
tice of over importing before a regu
lar tariff law can take effect. When
Cleveland was eleited there was a
promise of a low tariff wherefore
merchants quit importing so that al
though the McKlnley tariff was on
the statutes for a year later, the rev
enue from cuslomes were not suffici
ent for the needs of government. Aa
far as recipts were concerned the
Wilson bill might have been the law
from the day Cleveland's election
was announced. Now when the
lMngley bill raises the tariff, mer
chants hasten to buy an over stock
under a low tariff and nothing will
be readied under the law Laying a
higher duty for months after its pa-wage.
It is to forestall Uiis that the
emergency hill is proponed. It
ought to be passed, too.
(iov. Lord has appointed II. W.
Corbett to be senator From Oregon.
Will he be aeated?
The law allows the Governor to fill
vacancies for U. 8. Senator when
such vacancies occur during a recess
of the state legislature. Hence the
reason for the hurried disolution of
the Simon-senate which took place
two days before Senator Mitchell's
term expired. The Davis rump re
mained in session but it did not
count iu the judgment of Simon.
Thus it la hoped jlhat Mr. Corbett
will be seated. His friends point to
the fad that political precedents are
decision, and hope that for political
ressons, all former actions will be re
versed. Heretofore the senate seems to
have been guided by the theory
that It would in no way remedy the
errors or neglect of the state legisla
ture. It a senator dies or for any
reason cannot exercise his senatorial
duties. It is a con tendency that the
leglslatute could not have foreseen at
its last session, and could not have
provided StUliiai; Lt,t If lu vacancy
oceurrs during a session of the legis
lature then that body must do its
duty and elect. If it does not, then
!;e U. ?. Heinle will sot help ihe
state out of its difticutty. Now the
iMintingency of a vacancy was seen In
this case. It was of public notoriety
that Senator Mitchell's term would
expire and that a vacancy would oc
cur. It therefore was a contingency
that was known and It was the duty
of the legislature to provide against
it. It failed to do so, hence the mat
ter is precisely in the same condition
:is a vacancy occurring when the leg'
ii-lature is in session. That is the
ity the V. S. Senate has before act
ed. Hut now It may change the
whole spirit 'of former rulings and
admit Mr. Corliett.
The only emergency that urges Mr.
Corbett's seating Is that there may b
an additional vote in the senate for
sound money and for a protective
tariff. While that is the reason lor
wanting him there, it will also be a
strong reason of the free silver sena
tors for not wanting him, and just
now they soetn to have one or two
majority. They will, to a man, op
pose Corliett, and if Corbett can be
seated by sound money and prolec-
ion votes, that party ran pass any
legislation on those subjects and
icnce Mr. Corbett's vote will not be
needed.
Pel naps in this appointment the
governor has done a protier thing.
Corbett will not give us a black eye,
hat is, he will vote right on all legis
lation introduced to carry out the
lea of the republican party, but his
appointment will not strengthen the
republican party in Oregon. Gover
nor Lord ought to have looked to
he votes to be secured at the next
lection for the republican party. At
the November election we note a
slender majority. This makes it de
sirable to have every vote passible
for Kven the Oregonlan will ad
mit that the appointment of. Mr.
Mitchell would not have been good
olicy for the reason he was at the
icad of the "Mitchell Push." Well
Mr. Corbett was the head of the "Cor-
s-tt Push," an organization, as the
ntiult shows, much stronger than the
ilher. Political sagacity seemingly
should have dictated the appointment
f some one other than the leader of
ither faction.
It seems to "the Ixnki-knpknt that
Iov. Ixird should have used the
whole power of his administration to
oinK'l the organisation, of the legis-
Uure. This he evidently did not do.
Hut failing to secure an organization,
hen the governor ought to have de
limit he seats of those represeiita
Ives vacant who refused to take the
"nth of office and enter upon their
egislative duties. Indeed that Is
he position taken by Mr. Alberts in
eslcrday's Oregonlan. Mr. AltierU
hough be is on the opposite side,
Maintains the position assumed by
he IxiK!'KNiK.NT from the begin-
ung, touching the failure of the
lopuli't hold-up to take the oath of
fllce. He thinks the governor can
iot call an extra session of the legis-
tiure. That is Mr. Alberts' wish, for
ie is a money-broker and desires to
jieciilate in stale vouchers drawing
per cent interest and bought nt a
ijr shave.
that he holds their interests of equal
importance to that of the politicians.
A session of two weeks will stop the
leaks that are so abundant in the
treasury and by repealing unnec
essary 'commissions and reduc
ing salaries and fees to a
Just figure, will result In a saving
of hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the over burdened tax -payers of
the state. Let us hope that the gov
ernor will sink the partisan in the
patriot and do his part in glvlug that
relief so much needed.

credit for adroitness In turning the

June election into a temporary
triumph but do not see what relief
the "entire community of sorely
pressed tai-payers" are to receive by
his determination to allow no legis
lation for their benefit until the next
legislature Is elected. He Is fully
aware that if the extra session
called that such legislation would be
ended as would insure a saving of
thousands of dollars that now are paid
in exhorbitant fees and salaries; and
many think that the proposed reduc
tions are doing more to prevent a call
of the extra session than anything
else; that the failure to call the legisla
ture together in the present emergen
cy arises more from the dred that they
will enact needed economical legis
lation, than from fear of unwise ap
propriations.
THE POLITICAL BIAS OF THE
SEMITE.
A KXTKl MEMOS JEF.DEM).
From interviews reported with
governor Lord, he appears to lie In
loul't as to the advantage to be train-
I by calling the li g slalure together
n extra session. There is no doubt
hat the senatorial question prevent
ed the organization in January, but
his ouestion has been decided
y the appointment of Mr. Corbett
nd the defeat of J. H. Mitchell.
his defeat was the avowed object of
he hold-up and as this object ha
st'ii attained, the failure to organ-
r.e as a reason lor refusing to call an
xtra session is not In point.
The governor is under the same ob-
gtttion, as far as his duties will per
il!, to secure the necessary econom-
-al legislation as the members of the
'gislature, and under the present
nfortunate conditions he is the only
one who can Inaugurate the move
ment for n lief, and he w ill be held
nd justly held responsible for failure
) assist in bringing order out of con-
ision.
The promptness with which heart
I in the appointment of Mr. Corbett
hows that he was fully aware, as to
the disturbing element in the politi
cal situation, and determined to re
tuuve it. Ijet us hope that an exhibition-of
equal promptness calling an
extra session will prove to the people
The complexion of the V. S. senate
has been in doubt. The latest In for
mation Is in the following paragraph
taken from the news report of yes
dayt
The republican caucus committee
of the senate held a brief session to
day, March iOth, and adjourned to
allow the collection of information as
to places to be filled, and to permit
consultation with other republican
senators. There is dissatisfaction on
the part of some senators, who today
manifested a disposition to hold out
for a more definite arrangement with
regard to the control of committees.
Those who represent this element
contend that, if the republican party
is to be required to continue the re
sponsibility for legislation, it is only
fair that they be given control of the
more important committees, is, for
instance, the committee on finance
and appropriations. As. the com
mittees now stand, they are silver
committees, 0 out of the II members
of each being either democrats or sil
ver republicans. The latter hold the
balance of power In both committees.
The more conservative republicans
hold, however, that It is impractica
ble to secure any better arrangement
than that outlined In these dispatches
yesterday. They are as yet unde
cided as to the policy of filling re
publican vacancies with republicans,
and democratic vacancies with dem
ocrats, or of allowing all the com
mittees to remain until the Iiecem
lier session. It Is contended by
those who advocate the postpone
ment of all action that such a course
would keep Jealousies in check, and
it is pointed nut that any assignments
are likely to be temporary, in view
of the possibility of a settlement of
the difficulties in Kentucky -and
regnn.
The republican leaders are dis
posed to be especially conciliatory, in
view of the work before them of get
ting a tarriff bill through the senate.
They feel confidant that the present
assignments will not Interfere with
them in any respect In this matter.
Indeed, it is Intimated that it is
a part of the understanding that they
shall not. Senator Jones, the silver
republican member of the committee
on finance, is an advocate of a pro
tective tariff, and, while he would
vote against his republican colleagues
in com in it tec on any question affect
ting finance, the republicans feel (hat
they can count upon his support in
comtntteeofa reasonable tariff bill,
This would be sufficient to secure the
favorable reporting of the bill.
When a tariff bill comes lo the senate.
it will have to take its chances.
The general disposition appears, how
ever, to be to allow the republicans to
pass such a hill as they wish. The
opposition reserves the right to offer
amendments, but In all probability
they will allow It to become a law.
MOKE OF BEETS.
As a continuation of the agitation
on the sugar-beet Industry the follow
ing statement is given from W. C.
Watson, superintendent of the larg
est beet-sugar factory In the world.
The factory was started in Wat-
sonville in ISsS, and has been run
ever since. In the year 1892 the ca
pacity was doubled, and in the year
ls9t increased three-fold, making
it now about 1300 tons of beets daily.
The business has grown very much
since the beginuiug. The annual
average at first was about 14,000 tons
of beets, while last year we worked
up 155,000 tons. Since the establish
ment at W ataonviile, the farmers of
that locality have been paid more
than t-00,000.
"We pay $4 per ton for beets, with
out regard to the per cent of sugar
ontulned. The only limitation is
that beets weiging over five pounds
will not be accepted, the average
weight being about 3 pounds,
When work was first commence J
the farmers were paid on a scale ac
cording to.thA., Jesuits. ..ft pc!
tests. This was found very unsatis
factory, as farmers could not under
stand why two plots of ground side
by side should yield different beets.
The work and trouble was so con
siderable that the plan of paying so
much per ton was finally adopted.
This ,1s found to work allrlght, after
the farmers have become proficient
in cultivating the roots. ,
' "Last year there were 11,000 acres
of land sown In beets for the factory.
The avcrsgs yield la H tous per acre,
which at the rate of $4 a ton, would
br.ng the farmer 156 an acre for his
product. The average coat of pro
iscJcj: ii $CC !o t2S p ma. The
beets are grown in an area of about
30 miles in length, and from five to
six in width. Of course, all of this
was not used in beet growing, but as
beets are grown ouly one year out of
three on the same piece of land, there
would be about 35,000 acres in all
necescary. The "crops which alter
nate with beets are almost any cereal,
and a crop of summer vegetables.
The land has not become exhausted
but, on tha contrary, yields better
crops of not only beets but even cere
als than before. The yield of barley
is larger than before the alternating
system was adopted, and as the grain
is much freer from cheat, it brings
higher price. At the time of Intro
ducing the beet industry Into the
Watson ville district, the land was
badly run down. Now it la regain
iug its old strength in all growths, and
barley brings 20 cents per 100 more on
account of being cleaner. The land
produces larger quantitiea of beets,
and the per cent of sugar la growing
all the time. No fertilizers are used
at any place in the valley, rotations
of crops being depended upon to
keep the ground in condition. The
per cent of sugar In the sack is about
12) or 13, which would be from 14 to
ltj in the Juice.
Most of the seed is imported.
We raise some at our place near San
Jose, where we have a man engaged
in that business; The factory fur
nishes all seed, and the hope Is en'
tertained that when the business be
comes more tnorougly developed,
seed will be grown In the state in
sufficient quantities to supply the de
mand. From results so far obtained,
wo believe that when seed growing
has received more attention, a quali
ty of seed will be furnished from our
own farms that will be superior to
those imported. It seems that when
aeed is raised here, it is acclimated.
and yields better in sugar,
The soil is not a matter of much
mportance. Some extreme grades
fall short, but ordinary soil, where
vegetables or cereals are grown,
answers, .Most of our beets, are
grown on a heavy adobe, and some
black loam. The temperatbre at
Watsonville is not high during the
summer months. At times It la as
high as W), but this does not last.
The only consideration is to have
about two and a half or three months
of dry weather In the fall, say Au
gust, September and October, when
the beets are storing sugar and being
harvested. If this la found . there
will be no difficulty in producing
beets.
"The average tract cultivated by
one farmer is about 35 acres. Some
Portuguese living on the l.xXbills
near the factory have small plots
cleared, w here they are able to sow
about five acres annually. . They
hire no help, and are only at the ex
pense of seed, which leaves them a
neat profit that is rapidly making
them comfortable. The farmer with
35 acres usually makes a contract
with either a white man or Chinaman
for thinning, weeding and hoeing, at
the price of from !K) cents to II per
Ion. This constitutes his hired help
for cultivating. Land about Watson
ville rents for 112.50 an acre, and the
tenants for that price are constantly
clamoring for land. Tbey are able
to more than pay rent with the one
third sown with beets, which re
quires about I) months' work, and
the remaining two-thirds is used to
make the profit on.
"For a few years after the factory
started, it was on the ragged edge.
Farmers were backward in taking
hold, and flower to learn proper cul
tivating methods.. For some time It
hxiked as though the venture would
be a failure. Now the factory cannot
use nearly all the beets grown. Con
traits ire made each year for so much,
and last year, out of 18,000 or 19,000
acres at the disposal of the factory,
only 1I.IK10 were nsrd. Farmers re
gard it as a piece of luck to get a con
tract now, although they were slow
at first. In letting these contracts,
we select tracts of land that have
proven to 1 highest producing.
We soon learn this from watching
results. The contest for contract Is
sharp among the farmers of the val
ley, and, if the capacity of the fac
tory wis enlarged very much, it
would I rely use all available land
in reach. The new factory we are
staH iug at Salinas ill probably not
be in bet running condition for
three or four year, frons the back
wardness of farmers. After that it
will be over taxed. of Oregon were returned for Presl-

, DEATU OF J. . OOLPII.
Ex-Senator Dolph is on the banks
of the river of death and there is
small hope of his recovery. He has
been suffering for years with a mal
ignant disease that has carried many
victims off in a shorter time, but by
a rigid observance of the rules laid
down by his physicians he is yet
alive. Last week he had an ingrow
ing toe nail cut out and from this
slight wound, blood poison set in.
The only hope of prolonging life was
the amputation of his leg. This was
done; on Monduy.
Since- writing the above, word
comes from Portland tlmt the ex
senatoi died at 10:50 o'clock Wed
nesday morning. The funeral oc
curs today, Friday.
J. N. Dolph wu born near Wat
kins, New York, Oct. 19, 115, mak
ing him at the time of his death In
bis 6 2d year of age. Dolph received
his education In the common schools
of tbe day and in a solitary two
years spent as lock-tender on a New
York canal he laid the foundation for
studious career which he has since
worked out. And how much of the
reserve noted In after life may be
attributed to the solitude of . that
lonely log cabin during those two
years? In 1S62 young Dolph, with
bis brother, Cyrus, enlisted in Me.
doruu) Crawford's company organ
ised to escort an emigrant train from
the ' Missouri river to Oregon. On
his krrlval In Portland he commenced
the practice of law, one of his first
cases being a dispute before a an.
cpuver, Washington, court having
neen sent there by J. II. Mitchell.
His management ol the action being
satisfactory, a law partnership was
formed between the two young men
under the firm name of Mitchell A
Dolph, This partnership whs main
talned till Mr. Mitchell's election to
the senate In 1872. As a lawyer
Dolph was successful, though there
are atber men In the state his
superior.
He early took an interest in poli
tics and has held several political
professional offices as well as legisla
tive... In his political manipulation
he was combative and this some
times brought annoyance and defeat
where a better termination should
hae resulted. An example is seen
in the libel suit of Dolph v. W
