Daily Democrat JUK SAU.M l.KTTKIi. Feb. uth.tSSo. Editors Dctnocrat : The Portland water bill in the Home created a good deal of interet. Many ladles and gentlemen were there from Salem and other placet to hear the debate and receive the vote. Judge Dcady was within the bar and manifested close atten tion to the proceedings. He could not, however.influence the members either way if desired. The ball opened by Mr. Geer, of Marion, who voted for the bill but now sustained the veto. He wanted to know if he held a promissory note for Siooo and a water bond for $ioco if they should not be taxed alike. No one answered him. Messrs. Gilbert and Northrupt championed the bill, while Miller of Jackson sustained the veto in a creditable speech. Several others had something to say pro and con. The vote finally came, 37 for the bi;i and 32 against it. Belknap absent. The ex citement was great and the Governor re ceived many congratulations. Taxed or n ot, the bonds would be all right. They would go to a four and a half per cent market and never be assessed in Oregon. Though if not taxed our banks would buy them on a speculation, and sell them at a premium. Condon's bill placing the State Universi ty on a free scholarship basis passed the House. It provides that a tax shall be levied annually of one-seventh of one mill on the dollar for University purposes to support the University. From and after the first of January, 1S90, no charge or fee whatever shall be made or collected from any person or persons residents of this state who passes the necessary qualifications to enter the University for tuition of the lit erary departments threof,provided a sum not to exceed ten dollars per year may be collected from each student for incidental purposes. I his is as it is in other states and it is a good bill. It gives all merit orious boys a chance those who cannot pay tuition. The dome of the Capital building should be built, but there are none to see it. Lib eral wagon road and other appropriations can be made, but nothing can be done to d to the appearance of the State Capital, a rion county delegation has never been known to be very leading in matters bene ficial to Salem or state. It is said that it did not support the appropriation that was given to the Agricultural Society a few years ago. It is not expected to favor the purchase of land for state house grounds. It is credited with refusing to present bill for a small appropriation to extend a county wagon road to the east line of the county, taking in a large number of new settlers, stock ranges and the mining re gion, a road that was to be a county road and ene absolutely demanded by the indus tries in that region. It is predicted that if the Asylum gets an appropriation to build a new wing.or the Capital a dome or Salem anything else, that Multnomah county will secure them for Marion county. Why Marion county cannot take the lead in leg ialative matters and secure these things that will benefit the valley or Salem Is a wonder. Dawson's Rlilroad Commission bill passed the. Senate. Elkins' bill to allow Eugene City to extend its credit and Issue bonds in the sum of $60,000 to build a Court House passed the Senate. Three road bills, Crook's for $14,000, road In Cur ry county j Fell's bill for $io,ooo,road from Heppner, and Maxwell's bill for $10,000. road In Tillamook.have passed both houses and will go to the Governor for "further Instructions." Jsapton's bill preventing marriage of second cousins, etc., failed to pass. Marriages of first cousins should not be permitted. Sojourner accident ; and that it may wreck the coun try, but surely wreck 'tself. Four years of schooling in the deep ruts of rdversity ill not diminish a simon pure democrat's ardor one lota, for had we not a quarter of century of almost monarch al rule ? The South is not gretdy, only the rights of states and Individuals as guaranteed by the constitution is all they demand. Their solidity cannot be broken and most surely HI have a tendency to be strengthened nder the Harrison-Dlaine-Mahone dy nasty. It is a poor rule that cannot work to an advantage more ways than one, and ur memory recalls the fact that many voted against Cleveland because he called Lamar and Garland into his Cabinet. Now Southern republicans are clamoring for a place for Mahone. Who is Mahone ? Uur- ng the war, no braver or more true an officer unsheathed his jword in the service of the confederacy. Since he jumped strad die of the political fence, posing as a Re- adjuster and was elected to office from Vir ginia. Compare Lamar and Garland with Longstreet and Mahone. Can it he done ? Impossible for the former remained tiue to party teachings and commands the re spect and admiration of all thinking men ever) where ; whilst the latter are held up as political martyrs by the party to which they now give their allegiance, and we be believe not even respected by a majority of the republicans. February 10th, 1S89. Yocxo Democracy. When Dawson's Railroad Commission bill came up in the senate, Senator Irvine offered the following amendment: "The said Board shall have the power to fix maxiimrn rates of freight to be chafed by the varions railroads of the state between all points within this state." The senate voted it down at once which clearly shows what the feelings of the senate are to wards railroads.

(Written for the Democrat.) In our first article written for the Dem ocrat over our present mn-ilc-flume, v remarked that if Mr. Harrison wanted peaceful, beneficial reign as President of the United States for the four years after the 4th proximo.that Grandson Ben would let the wily schemer from Maine severely alone. Recent authentic dispatches seem to verify our prediction that James G. Bluine will rise to the surface as Bayard's successor, as State Secretary. For the country's good, we regret it J for In truth that great American tail twister will in volve us in useless strife with foreign pow ers and probably well nigh wreck the Na tion. Blaine's conduct in the past, his altitude toward Roscoe Conkling, the meteor of the republican party, his feeling toward that portion ( the United States lying south of the Mason and Dixon line ah combined is sufficient to lower that gen tleman In sven a respectable republican estimation.
