II. W. Scott Not a Candidate
The Oregonian, on Sunday, contained
the announcement that Mr. II. W. Scott
was not a candidate for United States
S nator, in this manner :
A verv cheap little parasitical paper
r printed
...... ......... in Portland says • “ Mr. Scott,
as a candidate tor Mr. Simon's seat in
the United States Senate, is not an im­
partial judge of Mr. Simon’s acts.’- In
the first place, it is not Mr. Simon's
seat, but a seat belonging to the State
of Oregon, which the people of Oregon
will have opportunity to fill soon, as
they may think fit. In the next place,
Mr. Scott is not a candidate, actual
or possible, for it.
Finally, the Ore
gonian will exercise its right of judging
as to public men and public measures
without asking the consent ol anv poli­
tician or boss, or of the little organs
that mav lie hired for any paltry serv­
ice. As for Mr. Simon, if the people of
Oregon want to return him to the Sen­
ate, they will have full opportunity to
do so. He now puts himself directly
before them as a candidate tor that po­
sition, and asks that a Legislature be

issue now; and the Oregonian thinks

If. upon lull
consideration, it shall appear that they
desire Mr. Simon's election tor another
term, he will be entitled to it. Bullet
us have things done in the open.
The H eadi ight is pleased to note that
Mr. 11. VV. Scott has declared himself.
A few weeks ago we gave Mr. Scott's
picture ami stated our reasons for being
in favor of him for senator. This is soon
retold, for no man knows ami under­
stands the needs of Oregon better th in
he doe*, and having »levoted his best
energies for a number of years to the
development of the state, its industrial
mid commercial interests, it would be
right and pnqier for the people to honor
him, and this could not be more appro­
priated done than by making him one
of the United States senators from Ore­
gon. Another thing, he knows lila*

Specious Plea for Cuba.
Tremendous pressure is bring brought
upon congress to exjiedile reciprocity
with Cuba. The most specious argu­
ments for placing Cuban sugar and to­
bacco on the free list are advanced and
the most dire predictions are indulged in
id to the terrible things that will en
sue unless congress shall come to the
relief of the Cuban planters and the
Sugar trust
The New York Tribune, one of the
leading champions ol the Cuban cause,
presents the situation in a most lurid
light. It savs "Cuba prostrated bv w ar
is just getting upon her feet again. The
first good crop of sugar cane in seven
years has been produced and is ready
for milling ; it it is milled and the sugar
is sold a large measure of pros^ieritv
will be resulted to the island ; it not,
prostration mid distress will continue
mid in m.-inv cases l»c intensified. But
the cane cannot l»e ground unless a
market is lound tor the sugar mid the
only market possible is in this country.
This market must lie opened by reci­
procity and this must lie done within
the next month or two, otherwise the
relief will come too late
A year’s de­
lay will mean the s|M*nding of $’20,090,.
OO9 or $3’*,000,1*00 ot Cub m montv in
Europe, all of which under reciprocity
would come to the United States. There
are otlnr dangers even more serious.
Another tear of industrial and commer­
cial stngnnti'U will gravely im|n*ril the
peace ot the island. Industrial and com-
menial g itvances were the cause of
the Cu'ian revolts against Spain. There
is the peiil ol a change of Cuban senti­
ment t«»w »rd this country. It we con­
demn the Cub ms to the s me evils as
those t'icv «offered under Spanish rule

Th s would l»r a very touching appeal

The iminnliatc enactment by congress
of a law icnioxing tne tlutics on Cuban

doubtless enrich the Cuban planters and
the Sugar trust magnates, but would it

the New York Central that only recently

to practical test.
The plan of supplementing the present
block system with an automatic electric
warning in the cab of the engine itself
would seem to lie eminently satisfactory
at least in theory. Whether it will ac­
complish the desired ends in practice or
fail as ignominiously as did the torpe­

after the disaster,is yet to l»e determined.
Certainly, however, it would seem to lie
the most feasible scheme yet devised to
prevent at least rear-end collisions.
Inventors of the United States should
not, however, intermit their efforts to
devise the jicrfect means of preventing
collisions. The Eastern Illinois idea may
work excellently or it mav not. The rail­
