The Presidential party has been surfeited with caliu lilies nnd cut dowers In California. The air has been made red with hot-housn roses and ho has been pelted until he Is blue with high-priced bouquets and extravagant lloial fancies. There will bo no continuance of this ex travagance and luxury at Salem. Here the President and party will be greeted with the simple welcome of wild flowers In the hands of thous ands of children. There will bo no profusion of exotics but the Moral queens of Held and forest will honor the occasiou. The wild llowers gathered by the children and the ilowering shrubs collected by the hands of plain citizens will bring nil the novelty and freshness of nature to grace the occasion. Let this tloral welcome, be made effective and let Salem live in the memory of our distinguished guests as tho wild-flower gem pf nil Ameri can cities the bouquet city of the Willamette valley. Lot every parent arm tho children with two good tiouquets to carry to the graud Uoral review, and cut n basket of llowers to carry to the committee. A sacrifice must be made on this occasion and tho fame of our city as a natural Uoral center will spread. Here Is an occasion when the oyesof of tho world are on Salem, and the most distinguished citizens of the new world will become our guests. It Is timo to dibplay enthusiasm when enthusiasm pays. Enough has been said about Oregon mists, und Oregon Webfeet, and Oregon mossbucks, nnd Oregon conserv atism, and overlastlng Oregon rains. It is time to set tho world talking about what naturo produces most lavishly here in tho heart of this val ley, and Salem people should see to It that tho wild flower welcome to the President be made a great and successful event. INGAI.US &UMMKJWAULTS. Ex-Senator Iugalls is a brainy and able man but has never given the people's side on questions affecting corporations or capital thutattentlon they are entitled to. Ills summer saults over onto the Alliauco side after his defeat by tho Alliauco are ridiculous. Ho was either right or wrong. He could not bo both very well. Tho Washington Independent sizes up tho ex-senator about right when it says that ho is a sample of tho politician that .has been a curso to this country. Tho revolt of last fall in Kansas Is evidence tho people have lost faith in the bosses. The speeches of Iugalls now show ho has all his lifetime in a public capa city been misleading tho masses of tho people and doing tho bidding of the corporations, trustB and other money combines. Had the gentlo niau been an honest man and led tho neonlo from under tho yoko of bouduge, ho could today bo warming n seat In tho senate. Ho Is shed ding peultent tears, but tho people will trust him never more. COIU'OJIATIONH OKISATJS NOTHING. They only manipulate what tho people produce. It should never be forgotten that the people aroa bigger factor In tho development of any country than any nativo or foreign corporation, or combination of capi tal. No matter on what gigantic basis these financial syndicates may be organized, it Is a fuct they still propose to llvo off tho producer as a parasite does oft tho animal It In habits. What tho people do for themselves is tho only thing that enriches them. What corporations do for tho people enriches the cor porations. The peoplo nlono create resources. The Wrung of Stock-Watering on Common Carriers. The following editorial uppeare iu the Oregoulau of Friday. It com pletely endorses tho Jouunal'8 position on this subject. It seems the Portland paper can bo "all things to all men" on any subject, und In this freak ItJolnsJerryHImp son, John P. Ilobcrtsou, theJouu NALond tho cranks generally who Ulleve tho railroad debt in this country has been Inlcjultously created and Is a burden which the producers khould not bo faxed to maintain. Hero Is tho article: "Mr. Sidney Dillon, of the Union Pacific, writes an article In the Nnrlh American Jtevlew in which he argues that over-capitalization of railways is a matter of ho concern to tho public. 'Asa matter of rtuson and principle,' he ays, 'the question of capitalization concerns Ibe stock holders, a ud the stockholders only. A ciilmi commits au Impertinence when he questions the right of any corporation to capitalize lis proper ties at any sum whsteer.' Mr, Dillon diarn hh the suhlrct an among Mho grievance urged oglnt tho railways that nro loo puerile to bo seriously noticed,' and ho apolo gizes for having to mention it at nil. "What Mr.Dlllou SRyslsInfactnn euphemistic substitute for that harsher nnd more direct expression 'the public bo d d.' To say that 'the question of capitalization con cerns tho stockholders, and the stockholders only,' Is to say that it is simply the duty of citizens to ac cept any rates tho railways choose to make, and utter no complaint To say that 'n citizen commits au impertinence when he questions tho right of a corporation to rapltnllze Its properties at any sum whatever,' is to say that tho citizen has no right to protest against the extortion that compels him to support not only the legitimate cost of a railway line, but also tho fictitious stock or bonds on which dividends aro to bo earned. Tho assumption is lolso and mon strous. A corporation, the samo as an Individual, owes equities to the public though It Is seldom tho cor poration recognizes the fact. "Every railway depends for exist, once on a public frauchlse. It is com pelled to go to tho state for that power known as the right of eminent domain, aud the state comes to its aid to open for it tho right-of-way. Private interests aro compelled to give way to tho rnllroad, for promo tion of the public good. Tho railroad, therefore, Is not merely a private undertaking for private objects; It Is also a publlo undertaking, or under taking ot public character, assisted by tho power of tho stato nsan instrument of tho publlo weal. The publlo, therefore, has a right to hold tho railroad to Its duties and obliga tions; a right to insist that reasonable scrvico shall bo roudered for fair compensation. Aud right hero the question of 'over-capitalization' comes in. If one-half tho capitali zation of a railroad is fictitious there will naturally be an eflort to earn au income on this excess. But Mr. Dillon holds that while this is a matter that can proporly concern only tho stockholders or bondholders who get the money, It is mere 'Im pertinence' on tho part of those who aro made to pay It to utter complaint. "Mr. Dillon Is of thoso who have great resources in iuduratcd sensi bility; else ho would never put forth a statement of this kind. The Orcgonlnu Is of those who Insist on treating tho railroads at all times with fairness aud Justice, but at the same timo they insist that these comoratlous shall not bo allowed to assert through tholr mannasrs their Independence of tho principles of equity nnd of tho rights of tho public. It Is Just such utterances as those of Mr. Dillon that inconso tho publlo against tho railways and bring about retaliatory legislation. Mr. Dillon appears to bo among thoso able men who have every kind of souse but common sense. It 1b common sense, which lucludes moral senso, that teaches that no person In this world, no instrument or agency in human affairs, not even a corporation, enn bo free from the uulversal obligation to act justly, to do equity, and to remember the rlghtB of othere. If a corporation, badly advised, will persist in tho denial that it has a soul, it will not bo permitted to forgot that It has a body to be worried and punished; and it usually happens that tho soventy of the punishment Inflicted on its body Is proportionate to tho vehemonoy of of Its denial that It has a soul." This artlclo will give some of tho Oregoufau's Imitators a chauco to sneeze, now that it lias taken n lit tle anti-monopoly snufl. It should be remembered that It hailed the election nf Mr. Dillon as President of tho Union Pacific, nB tho restora tion of a man nf affairs, and practi cal railroader. It considered tho do feat of Charles Francis Adams ni tho timely retirement of a puritani cal doctrinaire, Adams would not allow wholesale stock-watering aud haB always considered the railroad magnates of the country as a band of robber barous, dovold of the honor that is common among thloves and Incapable of oven maintaining "a gentleman's agreement." Ho was retired and Dillon put on for President, to make poeslblo the big gest stock-watering enterprises over undertaken In this couutry by Jay Gould, Gould, Dillon, ot ul , nro at work at proseut to float 176,000,000 additional watered stock, und this Is only tho beginning of a stock watering dynasty that Is to burdou generations of producers.
