The hltlatltl and! referendum amend

ot the legislature of M99,' on February X
1891. , At .that time there were five sep

mtuHHpaJ indebtedness eraendrasnt," the
.Judlelaary -amendment'' the irrtgmao
1 amendment"' the' "repealing amendment'
(that relating to free negroes), and the
; ."eauaf suffrage amendment." The first
four of .these iad been 'agreed to by
;. th legislature of , JJSSI and 18S5, and jthe
last by th legislatures of 1885 and 1899.
The amendments agreed to by the as
semblies qf 1S93 and 1896 should have been
submitted fey the latter to be Toted on at
theVgeneral eleoUon - of 1890,: but from

" fAt SALARIES OR FEE8?
JCow ooms th organ of efflcialdom to
say that .the talk about flat salaries is
flat nonsense.. But tbe RepubUoan mem-
bers have pledged themselves to this non.
sense by a' solemn declaration in their
platform and a solemn silence in the cam
paign. The newly elected officers also
i " mad this pledge, and made It for thm-
setves and to apply to their own salaries
and for their own terms, and hot .for
somebody , and for future terms. The
pledge is ta.be kept or to be broken. It
waa made Insincerely and for Vote only,
or it waa made by candid men who have
regard fo their word; If the Oregonlan
speaks without their authority, It injures
them.'- If -it speaks with their sanction.
,, they injure themselves.
Xt is said now that flat salaries, other
than those named in the constitution,
. would be Unconstitutional. But It is too
late now to raise the constitutional ques
tion. . These men have waived It. They
bav got Into ome by -assuming and de
claring that flat salaries to be fixed by
th legislature are1 entirely constitutional,
To asert the ttontrary now is a fraud on
the people.1 They have promised all of
them t eerra for flat salaries. If this
cannot be don without tlolaflng the con.
fitutlon. It can be refused without vklat
Ing their plighted faith, v K

The testimony is unanimous that kinder-

ferring to th increased Republican ma
jorities for Congressmen, It says: "ScuU
tl waa i tht issuvand bow -much of
Democratic Tlctofy was Itr But scuttle
was not th Issue. The question waa
not ireferred to in the canvass in connec
tion f with, .the Congressional . contest.
What the Oregonlan did declare with
iterant persistency , was that it was the
issuo In the gubernatorial contest ana
that It ' would be so construed in th
East If th paper waa right then, since
Mr. Chamberlain was elected. It follows
that the Oregonlan l wrong now. But
the people did not have the scuttle cues
tlon ia the back of their heada They
Toted for Mr. Chamberlain en other
grounds, We are pleased to note that
our contention that th Phllippln ques
tion waa not Involved In the election for
governor is now accepted by the unani
mous consent of the whole Republican
party, including " our morning contem
porary. -
Slno Ur. Furnish ran better in Mr.
OWs county than be did m Mr. Fulton's,
It follows that Charley Is a treacherous
Republican, and n-ust step down and out.
Thus the process of exclusion koos on.
And, by the waj-, Marion did better for
Furnish- than . Mulfnomah, and So Mr.
Scott must go, too. And by and bye
we shall havs nothing but treacherous
Republicans in the Republican party.
Judge McGinn baa discovered sine his
election that th Republican platform on

Od stat printer.' It Is like the Usual '
. i
franknee of Henry to wait till he ia ir.

eensatlon of the state prlnteralMt 'eaa
be changed without violating taei lonaU
tuttoo, for it ta expressly, provided that
his -rate shall not be ' changed during
the term for which he was eleoted. That
is th very reason for an extra session
before his term commenc. And
that
I also th very reason why Judge
Glan and the state printer, de not want
an extra session.'
Th Oregonlan will greatly mistake.. It
says, if any disgruntled and treacherous
Republican ahall receive any considera
tion In the, legislature for th, United
Btates senatorshlp. That's the way ta
talk. It eliminates every possible aspi
rant but Mr. Boott and Mr. Fulton, who
will have the field to themselves to do
each other up. And the diagrtm tied Re
publicans can Say; Whether b do kill
Casslo, or Casslo kills him, or each to
kill tha other, all ways make ear gain.
"Some lswyere," we are told, "say that
It would be aa unjust to chang the etat
printer's salary one day before he takes
office as to change it ene day afterward."
The difference Is that in "the one ease
his unreasonable compensation would be
reduced and In th other It would be
continued for four years. It would not be
unjust to reduce It because he hM ac
cepted the office wfth the distinct agree
ment on nis part tnat it snouia n re
duced." ',
Mr. Dan Malarkey la th only member
of the delegation Interviewed who is not
against a special session. He has not
considered the question. Mr. Malarkey
has - given some symptom of Indepen
dence, and if he will cut loose from the
domination of men Jess able than him

i The strikers call, upon business men to
aid in settling the strike. ' That is entirely
proper. We suggest also,- that since Judge
Williams Is not an employer of labor,
and has just been elected to the office ot
Mayor, 'and ought to oommand the confi
dence of the men who voted for him,
his services ought to be sought ' His po
sition makes him the ideal pactfactor.
Wheff - Senator Mays says that - the
abuses of the present salary- ahdw fee
system can be corrected at a regular ses
sion as well aa at a special session, does
he not know that the stats printer's com
pensation cannot be changed at th reg
ular session T The saving In that, office
alone would pay a large1 part of th ex
penses of the special session.
For what did Senator Mays and his fac
tion enact the senatorshlp lawT If It la
a farce now, was It intended to be a ,
farce from the first T If Mr, Fulton, now,
or Mr. Scott had run, would it navs been
a farceT And why didn't they run?
Have they more reliance on Mr. Matth
ews' legislature than on the Republican
voters? L
That was an entirely proper s request
of Mr, Chamberlain to have ho ratifica
tion ever his eleotlon. He esn always be
depended on to do the graceful and ap
propriate thing. .'
