this state is a very weak one. The farm

Seventy-alve was the numlier of new
papers added to the run of the Twiee-
a-Wei k Statesman of yesterdas', for
n.?w ttbscrilers. That Is at the rate
of a hundred and fifty a week; a little
alcove the average since last tXiober,
wheni the Twiee-a-Week Statesman
was announced. The big press In the
office may have been a little prema
ture; but the old machinery could not
do the work that is already being done
The six or seven proposed rural niall
routes at of Salem are almost certain
to be estal!inlK-l.: All thu; prelioiiim
riPH having leeu arranged. 21. J, Ornis-
ly, the Stxxial Agent of the PostofHce
iK'partment, has been ordered here to
see to the laying out of the route, lie
will arrive some time in August, and
It should not take long after that to
get the service In operation. There
will probably, be two routes to the
south, two across the river into Volk
county, one north through Mission
liottom, one east through the Fruit-
land neighlHrhool and there should
4ie one toward Silverton, by way of
the tJarden ltoad, though the last was
not included in the petitions: Seven in
all. These seven rural delivery routes
will pay the United States government
in increased revenues, and they will le
$i wonderful aeconuiiodatkm to the rich
farming districts around Salein.
CHOSE THE LATTEU.
When the call for nomination for
President 'was tnade in the Itepatdiean
i on vent ion and' Alabama was first on
the i;t, the press report say "a
thin, ted whbkertHl delegate from that
state arose and surrenderel the first
riht to speak to Ohio. In another
IIa-e the sjiuk? reiort says that,, when
the call cjuue, "a tall and swarthy
Alalxiniian stoxl on lib chair 11 ikI an
swer d A la biuna yields to Ohio.'" Ev
idently this Is the Kinie Individual, but
In a different complexion. Our choice
is for 11k; "tall and swarthy," because
we know that that sort of thing fre--dominated
in the Alabama delegation.
Mobile, AlalKiuia, Uegistcr.
The choice is nianifeslly a wise ouc,
constderiug the law of averages.
Bishop Earl 'ranston, of the Aleth
xlist church,1 in r shaking of the
Mtuation In China, is right
when he says: "I would cut all
the red tajs? in the world ' and
set aside any treaty, meaning.' of
iurs. any treaty as inoTative as
that by which iliina guarantieil r--teetion
to 1th missionaries and na
tive Christians, in order to place Auwr
Ica in the forefront with EngkiiMl.

INCONSEQUENTIAL.
Tin? SpriBgtiekl (Mass.) Itepublican
wants to know why the, voters of Ore
in dil not aiprove tlie amendment of
'the Con-titutiou projosed for the i-ar-iw
of removing the inhibition of the
coming of free negroes and imilattoes
into the state. ' It say; t
"A worl of explanation from The Or
cgimi.m would ! acceptable herea
IwmiIs. Are we to consoler the retcn
tlon f the autl-nlgger feature of tlie
Oregon Constitution a part of the re
cent g'erius iuiix'tlalist vietorv in that
state" ' -
It sometimes is not possible .to an
swer a sneer; Init here is one easil;,
answereil. That' feature of the Con
stitution of Iregoii never was opera:
tlve, always was disregardett. and was
toirpletely sujHTseded hft the amen-1-inents
of the Constitution ' of the
Cnited States adotte1 after tlie Civil
War. The motion to remove it was
voted down dimply Is'cause the . ixople
of Oregon knew such removal was in
no way urccssary, and they wran;ed to
express their disapproval of motions to
amend tlie Constitution, a practice
which they are unwilling shall grow
to a habit. CCegroes have all rights in
Oregon that whites possess, and '-'there
could be nothing In repeal of an obso
lete feature of the Constitution. It
may just as well stand ns an historical
landmark. Massachusetts we : think,
has kiwc-of this kind the product' of
iWgotry and folly, now harmless, which
pevcrtheless1 he dos twt wuskkT - a
disgrace to lr. Oregon lan.
The Oregonlan jis" quite right. How
ever, if this repealing anKndhient had
stocd alone it would1 have lteen carried.
But its rept'al is not worth the tronble
nud exiens of putting tlie. resolution
therefor through two sessions of tlie
Legislature, and giving It a "'special
phu-e on the ticket.

is wotse Itaan thrown away. It en
courages ppaujeHsnd. We; fancy that
half the money ;drji ;n from the Marion
county treasury '.of the pauix-r account
would Letter, never le drawn at all.
Likely more than half, lliat ds, if the
IKjoplo receiving It were obliged to do
something for themselves, an-J shown
how to do sojiiething in that way, they
would do: a gntrt deal better than ; as
"pauiers.j" They would become useful
and contributing members of the com
uninities jwlicre they reside, instead of
k-eches. jWe say this in all kindness.
Without Ieiracting it tlie least from
the efficiency of tlK administration, we
llievo ota ny thousands of dollars can
1st saved j to the taxpayers by a careful
and painstaking administration of the
county's jiifT airs. We believe such" an
administration will ho had from this
time on, tr at least four years.

calBg 11k nomination of Senator Iiob
ert D. Inman, of Multnomah t-ounty,
for tJovernor, on 4he iX'niocratic ticket

lioquets are thrown at Mr, Inman, In
tle article, on what a tine .and whole
soukd fellow he is, and what a great
man he ls,'atid what a lit one for the
high office. ' We would suggest to our
Democratic frauds that it Is a little
early for Iwoms of this kind. There
are chances for a great many frosts
between this tkne and 1he date of the
nomination. :

That goreromeut is too weak to carry
out its agreements to protect foreign

IsshI to do. so, w hich there is reason
to doubt. Tin safest way Is for he
