THK NEW SENATOR By tho will of a majority of one in the leciBlaturoJof Oregon. Chas W.Fulton is U. S. Smator. Of Mr. Fulton's ability to fill tho ollico cre-itably there is no the slightest doubt. Probably ol nil tho men whoso names were before Ihc legis 1 tnro Mr. Fulton is intellectually test qualified for the rlecc. He is n'eo a clean and honorable man. Further, the fact that ho was not the first chdico of Portland ia far frohi indicating that the reat of the state should rot be satis fled with hia election. Tho Mail hoped to soo Jllr. Gecr elected, not becaueo ho ia considered better qaslHQed fcr tho place than an other man in Oregon, but because personal acquaintance had convinced ua that he was a clean .and honorablu man ; becauso he had given a good ad ministration aa governor; becaute tue Portland bosses and majority of the machine politicians of the reat of tho state were against him ; and mainly b. cauEe, under a law ipcciallr devised for that purpose, the people named him as their choice. From tho standpoint of good government and of one who wonld , liketoeeothcRepubllcan partystands. A the representative of good c&vernment, , this turning down of the law and . of tho popular will is the worst featuro of tho whole business. It is bad enough, and it will riso un to haunt' us; but the step is taken and cannot be revoked The new senator ie a good, clean, ab!o man, noc too closely identified with tho Portland posh, and be will represent Oregon in tho upper .house of con.resB with credit to(himsolf and bis state. .Tho MAiL(can extend its congratulations to him and hia friendB without reserva tion. SENATOR CHAS. W. FULTON. (Portland Journal, Dem.) Senator Fulton will grow eyen larger end broader under the heavy responsl- bllltles of the office, weighing accurate , ly and equitably the many and varied influence which made him Senator. '. Senator Fulton's euccwa is not bullied by bad methods, nor by, offensive manip. ulation, nor by the use of money. His election was cleanjand gratifyingly free from the taints of tho unclean and un- , healthy. From this standpoint, as well qb otberB, his election Is a credit to Ore-t-on, and Tho Journal predicts it will be fruitful of good result in bringing the t different sections of the state in closer relationship and sympathy. (Portland Telegram) ' V Mr. Fulton will make a capable Sena tor. He is in the primo of life, vigorous, ' active, olertj versed ip law and legisla tion, a ready debater, r. genial man who will readily make friends at the National Capital, and who is devoted to tho in terests of Oregon, Though living at tho mouth of the Columbia River in stead of at Portland, Mr. Fulton baa '.always been outspoken for the Improve ttptontof the river above as well as below ',VV'. ., iMtwiaj aad be is too broad and besides c too ambitious a man to show any favor itism to his own locality as ngalnit this o ty or other parts of tho state, (Oregouinn) Tho now Senator is n mnn of good nbility and of honorable character, To his oyon and gonorone nature tho many lit hi frlendsplpa that bind others to him uro due. Naturally ho and hii support ers will regard hia succeis In (caching the position for whjch ho hna toiled so long ns a great triumph. Let Tho Ore gnnlan bespeak kindness and oodwill toward them wlitlo they indulge tho ju bilation uatnral to such an occasion, rhon let it sny further that on their side a duty lies. Tho pcoplo of Multnomah, though they haVo not been favorable to thr candidacy of Mr. Fulton, nd hn o caused their oppositon to bo reflected through the action of their mrmbcrsot the Legislature, should now neverthe less permit it to bo recalled to their at tention that Mr, Fulton has at all times spoken and written in fnvor of all moas ures and proposition looking to tin fur theranceof tho commercial Intc.ostaof Fortland including plana aad proposals for improvement of tho river between Portland and Astoria, and lho Oregon- ian baa no doubt that Mr. Folton wjll fully redeem theso pledgee in theSenate, Don't tako any ono elso's word as to what tho Coast Mail will or will not do on any proposition, No one out side of this office is ia a position to give you any such assurances. If you have a favor to ask, como to headquarters. Wo will treat you .like a gentleman if you are one. CONCENTRATE AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY Governor Chamberlain proposes to make the newly appointed Superintend ent of the Penitentiary, when he .hall have taken his place on April I re sponsible for tho conduct of the institu tion. He will demand that the .Superin tendent select his own subordinates, and that thoy will be under his solo direction. The official head of -tho in- fstitutlon will have both the responsibil ity and the authority. Without the latter he could not have rightfully the the former. The Governor will act as overseer and critic, and when bo has any fault to find, or when ho desires explanations to be ma'o, ho will call upon hia Superintendent. Without wiahlng to inako compariiona, the writer hereof desires to commend tho wisdom and judgement of Governor Chamberlain in this matter. This gen eral policy should be adopted for all the state instiuttions. Perhaps it is followed now. If it is not In any case it would be an excellent rule to adopt and follow. In the main, it will result in bettor governed institutions. Where there is division of responsibility and authority thern is.likely to ho trouble and friction, Salem Statesman, Tho above is in accordance with the best ideas touching the executive branch of any government or institution. Con centrate authority in one bead, and then hold that head responsible. If the head goes wrong, chop it off and clap on another, until one ia found that will fill, the bill. Tbo making (of laws or ordinances or rules, and the enforcement of the same are two entirely distinct branches of government. In tbe making all should have a say, but in the enforce ment all authority should be concen trated, "In a multitude of counselors there is wisdom." "Too many cooks spoil the broth;" both sayings are true. Tho commander of an army consults his subordinate officers in laying out his plans of 'campaign; but when it comes to .the execution all authority emanateBifrom him. In all branches of tho government this idea is gaining ground, and Gover nor CJbamberlaUl is' in line with this latent thought, as well as good common V Host, ONKGOODVEIO Governor Chamberlain seems per. welly froo to uso tho voto power wlier over he thinks it necessary, but It dons not appear, that tho state is likely to suffor for Inekol tho tucnauto ho has killed, so fnr as reported. The change in the Australian ballot law which ins worked through both houses, was clear ly in the Interest of machine politics, and would crlpplo tho ofllcioncy of tho law. It is in the lutcrctt of the dominant party to hayo everybody votii a strA'ght ticket, but we can't bo sure that "our" patty will nUaye remniu in tho saddle. When the other fellows gut in, and put public nfhirt on a rottou basis, than the country's snlynlicn lies in tho inde pendent voter, who will put Ills crosO oprcsito tho nauio of our nice clean candidate, instead of tho ' black-hearted villian whom hia party has nominated for the place. He much uioro likely to do that unJor tho law as it standsr than when each party ticket stands by lUolf, with a suggestive and tempting spot provid ed in which he may plnco his crass mid sftvo himtolf the trouble of using his brains. j The Oicgoniau's argument, that tho votor whoia tcoignoraut to mark his ballot, cr who wants to "toto her straight," anyway, ahould bo catered to in tho arrangement o! the ballot, is an argument against tho wholo Auitrnll- lan'iyetexn, For such "voting cattle tho old way was the most convenient, for they.coold I c lined up, tiavo iho proper ballot placed in their hands, and all tbey had to do was to go and drop their tirkota into the box. But that is hard ly In accordance with tho present ideas of ballot reform. REMEMBER THIS (Salem Stntcsmam) By refusing to rcognire the Mays law in the Legislature in persistently in toting for a man who has bcrn rejocted by 'the popular vote, tbe Democrats de stroyed every cbance they ever had to appeal to the sympathy of the people. The Maya law provided that tho namo of tbe "highest candidate" should be presented to tbo Legislature. Mr. Wood recognized this fact and adviied the Democratic members to so govern tbernsolvei. HERMANN FOR CONGRESS (Salem Journal) '"' Defeated in 1830 for renomination at the Albany convention, Hon, Blngor Hermann, who has been United States land commissioner at Washington ever since, returns to contest the nomination for congress, created by tho untimely death of Hon, Thoa. U, Touguo. He arrived at Salem Friday to seo tho close of the senatorial contest and remained until Tuoaday, seeing old friends, staunch Republicans who were young men with (Hermann, and who have sto6d by him in all hit struggles in political life. . ,, Tuesday he left for Albanyt and will make thetonr of the district, end try to round up the convention as tho success ful nominee. Mr. Hermann's many friends claim that the south end of tho district U entitled to the nomination, on account of tbo senatorship going to Fulton, This is a geographical claim, and not baaed on any deal with tho Fulton peoplo, as Senator Fulton claims he entered inlo'no combination on con gressman -from the first district, and it ia not believed that bo did. Dinger Hermann has some strong polnte fit i suofcUdate. .that the other 3 " t oy-.. aspirants will Uo wellsovto overlook, He relict on personal inagmmnu mm iuug service to dovotoA Iriomlf, (or hundreds of whom ho has secured favors In tho pnit, mid It tho nomination goes to ono of tho older politicians lit tho south end of tho dhtrct, ho will bo tho man. IS"' TRAIN CREW QUITS Railroad Traffic With tho Coqulllo Again Crippled Anitom In yesterday's paper fore shadowed another tie-up on lho rail road. Tho tlu-up so (ua as It goes, was in operation beforo tho paper reached its readers, tho train cirw having "severed their o induction" with tho road Tuesday evening, at tho Into hour when tho train arrived. Five men walked out, buinu all of tho old crow who were at wo:k. A train crow was made up of tho men around lho detot jciterdny and Kent out, bringing over a load of lumber. Thiroaru two vostels, tho Snlvatnr and Annio Smalo, lying at tho wharf partlhl ly loaded, onu with lumber from Johnson's mill and one from Lyons'. TIo immediato cause of tho walkout seems to have been an attumpt to Iny off Alex Wilson, lho engineer. n a sort of punishment for scmothlm; ho had .lone or failed to do. Mr. Wilton quit, tight there, and tho other men (ol lowed. It is not a strike. Tho hoys havo simply quit, and some nlthem say thi.y would nut tako back tbulr jibs, at any wages. It aeeuis that things havo not bci u entirely sereno ilnco tho partial settle ment of tic recent strike, and this last development war to bo uxpecloJ. Other men will undoubted.'' Lo i ecured to till tho places of thosu who havo quit, hut tho general opinion is that it will bo difficult for tho manage ment to find men to do their work.
