Aspirant for the State Senate Re fuses to Be "Bound, Gag led and Hobbled." rroia the Dally OregoiiUo, Marcn 30. I deliberately retused to sign Statement No. i, Statement No. 2, or any statement at all. I will not be sent to the legislature bound, gagged and hobbled and deprived of every vestige of tree thought or action. I know that it is not popu lar at the present moment to take this stand. But I for one absolute ly refuse to bow down and worship at the shrine of W. S. U'Ren, and I believe the time will soon come when the tremendous menace of his visionary and apparent benefi cial theories will be seen clearly by every citizen. The fathers of this couutry laid down certain principles upon which we have builded a great empire. They embodied those principles in the constitution. They said to posterity: "Make your own laws. Change them from time to time as necessity demands. But see to it that they do not conflict with the great principles embodied in the constitution. And now comes one- VV S. U'Ren, ot Oregon City, Clackamas county, Oregon. He says: "The fathers were wrong. Away with the con stitution. Let us amend it so that we can change the constitution every year. Let us take the backbone out ot it, so that it will bend and sway with every passing breeze of public opinion." I, tor one, will not stand for this. I prefer the principles of the fathers to the principles of V. S. U'Ren. I am not yet converted to the elec tion of United" States senators by direct vote. I do not deny that the present system has been grossly abused. I do not pretend that the senate is composed of men who are above reproach. But I do say that to elect the senators by popular vote is not the way to remedy this wrong. The fathers of this country, .the men who founded these United States, did not want the senators elected by direct vote of the people. They expressly stipulated that the senators should not be elected in this way. They wanted the senate to be a balauce-wheel in the scheme of government. They expressly provided that the senators should serve for only two years and a presi dent for only four years. They stipulated that a senator should re ceive a dillerent salary to a con gressman. They insisted that a senator should be elected in a roundabout method instead ot by direct vote, as are the other con gressmen. The wisdom of the lathers in adopting this system has been am ply proved many times in the his tory of this Republic. Time and again this country would have been committed to some fool policy if it had not been for the senate, and for the fact that the senate is not di rectly elected by the people. If both the senators and the congress men were elected by direct vote, what on earth would be the use of having two Houses? Why not just have the lower House in Congress? Fool legislation and visionary cranks ruined the great State of Kansas, and for twenty years made it a by-word and a proverb and an astonishment to its sister states. It would be well for us to see that fanatics and theorists do not ruin Oregon. I do not know whether I will be elected, but I do know that it I am elected I will go to Salem as the fathers of this country intended every legislator to go to his legisla ture. And I will vote for the man to be United States senator who. in my judgment, will do most good for Oregon. I will never agree to vote for a democratic candidate, nor for Jonathan Bourne. And while Elijah's mantle never fell upon my shoulders, yet I can prophesy, and I now say that W. S. U'Ren is wrecking the constitu tion that made this country great. He is taking the keelson and the ribs out of the ship of state, and there will be a day of reckoning that will cost us dear Mr. U'Ren is a good speaker, a clever and a fluent talker. He is sowing tne wind, but be forgets that we, the people, will have to reap the whirl wind. ELMER B. COLWELL. Prom an Address From Susan B. Anthony. At this time when the whole world is mourning the loss ot Susan B. Anthouy some of her reasons for advocating the political rights of women may be of interest to many. In an address many years ago she said: "We recognize that the ballot is two-edged, nay, a many-edged sword, which may be made to cut in every direction. If wily politi cians and sordid capitalists may wield it lor more party and person al greed; if oppressed wage-earners may invoke it to wring justice from legislators and extort material ad vantages from employers; if the lowest and most degraded classes of men may use it to open the sluice-ways of vice and crime; if it may be the instrumentality by which the narrow, selfish, corrupt and corrupting men measures rule it is quite as true that noble-minded statesmen, philanthropists and re formers may make it the weapon with which to reverse the above or der of things, as soon as they can have added to their now small num bers the immensely larger ratio of what men so love to call the better half of the people. When women vote, they will make a new balance of power that must be weighed and measured and calculated in its effect upon every social and moral ques tion which goes to the arbitrament of the ballot-box. Who can doubt that when the representative women of thought and culture, who are to day the moral backbone of our na tion, sit in counsel with the best men of the country, higher condi tions will be the result? There are grave questions ot moral, as well as of material interest in which women are mostly deeply concerned. Denied the ballot, the legitimate means with which to ex ert their influeuce, and, as a rule, being lovers ot peace, they have re course to prayers s and tears, those potent weapons of women and children, and when they fail, must tamely submit to wrong or rise in rebellion against the powers that be." An exchange in speaking of a deceased citizen, said: "We knew him as old Ten Per Cent the more he made the less he spent the more he got the more he lent he's dead we know where he went but if his soul to heaven was sent he'll own the harps and charge 'em rent." The Pralae of the Peanut. In the United States, a nut con temporary tells us, are 350,00 acres of peanut land and 170,000 peanut- ters. Three hundred million pounds of peanuts, worth $1 1,000, 000, are produced here every year; and yet people talk of "peanut" politicians contemptuously. There are whole epic poems in the peanut. It is accomplished, the Admirable Crichton of nuts. Every part of it is useful. It beats peas and corn as a fattener of stock and poultry. It enriches the soil as well as the farmer. Praise, hon or and eat the peanut! Every body's Magazine. Fnll Blood Chickens. The Blat-k Manorcia. Barred Plymouth Rocks snd Brown Leghorns.

In excavating and leveling an empty lot belonging to A. M. An derson, of The Dalles, in the bluff addition, within the past few days, workmen have unearthed in all ten human skeletons, together with the bones of horses, the remains of fire arms aud quantities of beads, but tons, elk teeth and other trinkets dear to the Indian heart. The skeletons were found within a tew feet of each other, all buried face down and showing evidence of hav ing been buried in some sort of cof fins. The remains indicate that the Indians were of large physique, with flat foreheads and other marks about the skull leaving no doubt about their race. Congressional Candidate Here. Hon. S. B. Huston, of Hilliboro, Washington county, candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress in this district to succeed Binger Hermann, spent last week in Jackson county, and was in Ashland Friday and Saturday getting acquainted with the voters. Mrs. Huston accompanies her husband on his campaign of the district and they were guests of Hotel Oregon while here. Mr. Huston, who is a lawyer by profes sion, has been a resident of Washington county for many years, and has been prominent In political affairs in the northern part of the state. Years ago as a democrat he was a leader la the state senate and in Washington county politics was a man worthy the steel of the late Hon. Thos II. Tongue. In 18D0 however, like thousands of other sound-money democrats, Mr. Huston cast his political fortunes with the re publican party and has since battled for the success of the principles for which it stands. In the sound money cam paign in Oregon Mr. Huston was one of four public men of the state whose speeches in behalf of the gold standard were deemed worthy of reproduction in the columns of the Oregonian. Mr. Huston comes ot patriotic American stock'and his father gave op his life in defense of the integrity of the nation In 01 e of the battles of the Civil war. Ash land Tidings.

Next time he should kiss her against her mouth, that is what some mouths are for. When John D. Rockefeller heard of the birth of a grandson a few days ago, he telegraphed to the parents: "Kiss the little rascal for me." John realizes that the de scendents have it in the blood, and that while only a "little rascal" now, he may some day be as big a rascal as his grandfather. Salem Journal. PROBATE COURT.
