Mitchell will again represent the State of Oregon in tlie United State Senate, after a retirement of four year, and, doubtless, hi" flection will please large majority of the people of this state. John II. .Mitchell ha a hohl on the hearts of the people of Oregon that is not easily broken, and hie speetaoular entry into the Legislature during the closing hour of that body and swaying enough member to elect him bv hi matchless magnetic powers after a long-drawn-out battle between other giants without a victory is an evident that Oregon remembers his valuable service in the past. Our people do not forget the pat bril iant achievements of the lamented dead Senator Dolph and the living Mitchell in the United States Senate. They tell us that the Democrats of Oregon are particularly jubilant over the Mitchell victory, and that the Demo cratic representation in the Oregon Legislature alone held the power and are responsible for this eminent man's election. We are iilad that our Demo cratic friend teel good over this matter they certainly acted wisely and for the best interests of the state. But if thote Democrats in the Oregon Legis lature voted fur John II. Mitchell feel ing that he was closer to them politically than any other candidate, they are de luded. John H. Mitchell, like other prominent statesmen, such as Thotna II. Tongue and Hinger Hermann, is as far away to-day from the Free Silver heresy as is the Republican adminis tration at Washington. The good Demo crats in the Oregon Legislature are to be congratulated for assisting in a decisive Kepublican victory. The new Senator will act in perfect harmony with the Republican administration. John H. Mitchell was born in Wash ington county, Pennsylvania, J'ine 22, 1835. His parents soon moved to But ler county, that state, and there he was reared on a farm. He worked and studied hard, and in this way acquired a good classical and legal education. In 1860 he came to the Pacific Coast, and soon thereafter located in Portland. He at once took a prominent part in up holding the Union cause, and was soon elected to the State Senate. For four years he was president of that body. In lS'Jo he lacked only one vote of the caucus nomination for the United States Senate. Six years later he received the toga at the hands of the Republicans. He was again a candidate in 1882, but -wa defeated and J. X. Dolph elected. In 18S5, at a special election, he was elected to succeed James H. Slater, Democrat. He was again elected in 1891. He was an avowed candidate in 1897, but failed of re-election. The people of Oregon may well feel pleased with the election of John II. Mitchell to the United States Senate. CONQKATULATINO OREQON. A dispatch from Washington says that a large number of Senators expressed satisfaction, and many of them surprise, at the result of the Senatorial contest in Oregon. It is evident, from the com ments made that Senator Mitchell will have a hearty welcome w hen he reaches Washington, and that his former col leagues will be glad to again count him among their number In speaking of the result, Senator Simon said : "Mr. Mitchell will make a valuable Senator. Oregon will be greatly bene fited by his return to the Senate. 1 find he is very popular with the members of the Senate, and has many friends here. He is an earnest and indefatigable worker." Representative Tongue said : " It is a great matter for congratulation that the Legislature did not adjourn without electing a Senator. Senator Mitchell is an able man and will be an efficient Senator. His experience during eighteen years of previous service in the Senate, and his personal acquaintance with lead ing public men will give him influence and standing, and he will be valuable to the state and nation." Commissioner Hermann said : " It is very gratifying that a final selection was made, even if it came at the last hour. 'The wants of On -gun are such as to re quire the presence of every one of the delegation. It would have been a great misfortune to the interests of the state bad there been a deadlock." Kx-United States Senator William M. Kvaris died in New York February 2Hih. L. E. C. Jordan Injured. K. M. Kussill, the Grand Central land lord at Alturas, reorts an accident on the HieU'r Redding statre line two weeks ago, the stage having tipped over on Burney Valley mountain. L. K. C. Jordan, the representative of Baker A Hamilton, who was in I-akoview a lew weeks ago with Tom A. Smith, was a passenger and had a leg broken In the accident. We trust that friend Jordan is not so badly Injured as reported.

Dr. White of Redding attended Mr. Jordan and reduced the fracture. He was taken to Redding, and from thereto his home in Sacramento. Wells, Fargo Express. F. O.
