.PORTLAND, ORE., JUNE 18. 1802
v ,t THE MEANING OF IT.
Aseumicg the sincerity of tba arlgi
Baton Of the act of 1801, providing for
av . .popular vote 'on the United States
Benatorshlp, we can look to the act Itself
-j jto' discover Its purpose. The preamble
- recite that, -Whereas it 1 desirable
"that the people should hav aa oppor
tunity to Instruct their Senators and
'tepweenUtlvee In the legislative As
embry as to tba election of a Senator
' la Congress, from. Oregon therefore." aid
then follows the .law providing that a
vote 'shall be taken upon nominations
snad in the manner provided by law.
This looks verjrtair. The- law received
, the support of tba Legislature, without.
' wt believe, any opposition. V
r But the originators were not sincere.
They 014 not believe It was desirable for
- people when they controlled the Legls-
' lature. Tba preamble was- Peckenlfnan
The, act was a piece of political bua
00m be.-- It was to be used by them If
the ektcency reaulredr but It was not
A" t oreaeea that It was capable also of be-
'tn used aaainat them. -Hence when a
popular vote, haa been taken In strict ac
-aordance with the law framed by -them
selves, it la discovered that the vote )s
a tares. :'
Tba point is that Mr. deer, if be has
done nothing1 elms, has 'uncovered the
rauo. : He haa compelled the parents of
the law to disown and discredit their own
offspring. Be has disclosed to public
.law the hypocrisy of the little crowd
' that mean to run the politics of the
'state! without regard to any farcical"
popular vote. He haa shown to the peo
ple that in the view of the machine the
"people are a farce.
' Machine men ilka these are not in favor
of the election of Senators by the peo
ple. When they say so they are aa in-
v "sincere as they were when they said in
.. 4thelr preamble C-at It was desirable that
vth Legislature should be Instructed by
ture .they don't need any instructions.
. They won't accept any, nor tolerate any.
To venture such instructions. is "colossal
- "conceit, To accept a nomination in pur-
suance or a law oc tne state ana to re
ceive substantially the unanimous vote of
- the party as an Instruction to the Legis
lature is Interfering with the prerogatives
'of the machine, which reserves the right
,; to'ltself to name the United States Sena
tor -without Instructions or suggestions
from anybody else. '
Mr. fleer's vote is, however, giving the
machine aome trouble. That is evidenced
by the perpetual scolding he Is getting.'
: Hut what has Mr. Geer done that draws
... Vpon him this tirade of abuse? He is a
; . candidate for United States Senator. But
; there are others. He did not make
. speeches for Mr. Furnish. But Mr.
c Mitchell, the darling of the ring.f ought
, the. regular party two years ago5, and
- by the votes of Democrats whose elec
'. tlon lie secured sits in the Senate today.

attention to the fact palpable from the
circumstances, that the object is to kill
. ' him Off in the interrst rif tha nnnriMnlA
'9t the ring. Any other person who shall
; have the temerity to be a candidate will
be attacked in a similar manner. The
ring means to clear thu field of rivals.
"When the Ting "aisks for bread it will
not be pleased with a stone." Now we
are advised, at least in part, who is the

tha bread? Whom indeed would the ring

does. " '

The Squire Met His Match.
Men, as a rule, are more indifferent and
communicative concerning the inroads of
age than Women are, but the most amia

remark to make -when approached im
pertinently on this saared theme, "Old
Squire Jones doesn't speak to me now,
said a gentle faced, silver-haired lady.
"and I don't blame him; ha haa excellent
reasons for not wanting any conversation

waiting for Helen, when I saw the old
squire drive up near me. He always has
something unpleasant to say about how
old we are all getting and what wrecks
we all are. so I pretended not to see him.
He came nearer, however, and aceosted
me.
" 'Isn't that you, Mrs. Brown? How

" Why, Squire Jones," said I, I was
just going to say tbe same thing to you,
never did see a man age as fast as you
ave. What on earth has made you rail
so rapidly? I never would hava known
you.'
"The poor old squire sank down in his
buggy seat and wilted. He looked half his
usual size and ten years older, and drove
off without saying anything further. It

such a blow, but if elderly gentlemen

haired lady laughingly concluded, "they

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.
One of the most difficult pieces of engi
neering on record waa successfully com
pleted with the recent opening of the
great Aspen tunnel on the Wyoming dl
vision of the Union Pacific Railroad.
The geological formation through which
the "tube" was cut is of a arbpnlferoua
nature, chiefly, in the first stage of the
work unusually hard rock waa encoun
tered, then shale, and finally a curious
formation that has been named by the
excavators "slacking ground" and right
there the real difficulties of the work
began. This ground, say a writer hi
th Engineering and Mining Journal,
was very much of the-nature of an old-
fashioned pot of yeast or, It might be
likened to an asphalt bed.: A soon as
air was admitted to the tunnel it' swelled
after the manner of quicklime, irresist
ibly. It was at first, thought that Ore
gon pine beams 12 inche square would
suffice; but thee 'Wro literally 'amashed
Into kindling wood. - Then IB by 8-inch
steel girders were tried; they- were bent
like wire by the enormous pressure. The
action was so sudden that the men had
often to run for their lives, the ' effect
being almost like an ' explosion, th
ground swelling up and entirely closing
the tunnel. Considerable trouble wa
also caused by the occurrence of oil and
water In the shaft An explosion of the
former caused the death of three men In
1890. The greatest depth of the tunnel
bel6w the surface Is 4C6 feet and It
highest point Is 7296 feet above sea
level. - - ;

PLEADS FOR GIRL WORKERS,
The work of women and young girls In
tin can factories waa vividly pictured by
Delegate R A. Hart at the weekly meet

'The loss of a finger Or two. or some

occurrence!. Girls are daily turned out ot
the' factories unfit for any vocation, be
cause of their Injuries. When they as
out in company they keep, their handi

Mr. Hart said they rarely received any
compensation for their loss and bitterly
commented on people who were willing
to see women treated In such a way
without protest. :

Senator Joseph R. Hawley of Connecti

apparent to his friends that he will hardly
be able to -serve out his present term,
which expires March 3, 1906. He is now

But Senator' Hawley takes life more

He looks out through green spectacles,
and has become splenetic and crabbed.'
For more than a year his colleagues have
had great difficulty in getting along with
him, and he is treated with as much

his whims are humored and Ms outbursts
of temper are ignored. But in a physical
