(Salem Statesmen)
Never in Oregon before, and perhaps
in no other state, has there been :uch
squirming exhibited by a combination
of politicians to find some way to ig
noro or in some way to get around wha t
is known to be the popular will. Hav
ing themselves provided a way to give
tho people a chance ts vote on United
States Senatore, they are nor? engaged
in a desperate effort to convince tLe
members of tho Legislature that tboy
did not moan that tho Mays law was to
bo takon eerionely unless it worked ont
in favor of eomo particular man they
bcd in view
In other words, they wanted a popu
lar vote for Senator provided it went
their way. But who should be supreme
in matters of this kind, the politicians
with their preconceived plans, or tho
.people who havo plans of their own?
If any man who (wanted to go to the
United States Senate saw proper to
rofuBo to place his name before the
people, where, tho opportunity was open
to everybody, what right has h j to "butt
in" and claim a right to be heard aftor
,tho people havo spoken?
r In ot'ior words, what reaeon can cny
man who now wants to bo elected to (he
United States Senate, and who believes
that the people should bo heard in the
f
matter, gtvo for not complying with the
law last JunoT , TjIb is a Jfair question
for those to'answer who aro not? en
deavoring to porsuadethe Legislators
that a popular voto does not mean any
thing and can be trifled with at will.
It ia not now b Question of politics nor
of particulaFpersonality, but it is ono
of popularjdrjareij::, and-when mem.
here of the) Legislature, who havo been
instructed by the" people under the pro
visions of a Mate law, " da to tho elec
tion of United States Senators," aro
bring ndvirod to ignoro tlio law and the
voto, it is time, to use tho lanoua&a ol
the Lebanon Criterion, to "look a licdlo

.Crystal palace, London, nml also gives
n description of tho new ntrshtp In
Jwhlch tho Englishman's ascent was
successfully made. Tho balloon fol
lows tbe torpedo shaped construction
mailo famlllnr by Snutos-Dumont, but
bns more blunted ends. Consequently
It has not tho graceful lines of Its
French predecessor. The frame which
bears tho aeronaut nml tho uinchluery
Is constructed of bamboo held taut by
piano wire. Ab seen In the air, It bears
some resemblanco In Its proportions to
a skeleton canoe.
Three Ions strips of bnihboo nm tho
length of tho frnrao nnd nre kept In
position by struts bound triangularly,
tho base- of tho triangle being hori
zontal. Tho frame Is slung from tho
bag by floe ropes. Tho principal fen-
BXAKLST btzxcxus Amsmr.
tnro of the construction Is the position
of tho propeller, which Is placed at
the bow of the ship Instead of, as Is
nsuaL at the stern. The Inventor con
siders that tbe effect of thin Innova
tion will be to enable tho ship to hold
a mora even course
Tho motive power Is nupplled by a
email petroleum motor swung In tho
forward end of tho frame and firmly
bound In position by piano wire. A
small cylinder to feed the engine's wa
ter jacket Is fastened Just over the en
gine. Directly below the engine Is the
condenser. Tho fuel tank Is Qxcd to
tbe upper bamboo, but farther aft to
shield It from the motor flames. A
thin rod of uteel, the engine's shaft,
runs forward to a gear wheel, tbe axis
of which Is tho propeller shaft.
Toward tho stem of tho balloon Is
tho aeronaut's stand, Inclosed In net
ting. Behind him is tho rudder, a
large quadrilateral sail suspended by
ropes between tho ends of tho balloon
and the frame. Tbe construction places
all tbe mechanism except tbe rudder
directly In front of tho navigator, an
obvious advantage In cases of sudden
emergency.

Vice Is due chiefly to Inattention; not
Ignorance, but thoughtlessness. "1 M
U10 better nml npproye, yet I pursuo
tho worse," In this case knowledge Is
not absent, but defective. It Is on tho
margin Instead of in tho focus of con
sciousness. In the laugungo of physio
logical psychology a present appotlto
presents Its claims on great billows of
nerve commotion which eomo rolling In
with nil the tang nnd pungency which
Is tho characteristic, mark of linmedhtto'
peripheral excitation. Tho future con
icquonecs of tho gratification of tlmt
appetite, on tho contrary, nre represent
ed by the tiny, fnlut, feeble waves
which flow over from Bomo other brain
center, excited long ngo, when tho con
nection of this particular catmo with Its
natural effect was first experienced.
In such nn unequal contest between
powerful vibrations shot swift and
itralght along the tingling nerves from
tho peat of Immediate peripheral com
motion and tho meager, measured flow
of faded impressions whoso Initial ve
locity nnd force were long since spent
