THE I'ACIFIO COSIl'ANV'8 FAfKIt WAD AUTILI.CIIV. la arguing against tho Oregon ntiiway connnljsion law, which Is copied after the Iowa and interstate commerce acts for the purpose of regulating railways, the couusel lor tho railway company fell into some ridiculous blunders, not to say egre gious weaknesses. It is no wonder their case wus kicked out of court. It had not a leg to stand -upon. It is wonderful that great corporations will employ counsel who will go be fore a court with such rot. It de served only tho contempt of tlie court. That is about what it re ceived. Iu the first paragraph tho corpora tions attorney argues against the commission law, that it is uncon stitutional because the commission thereby created exercises judicial functions and that uo such body ex el clsing judicial functions cau be created under the constitution. Iu tho same breath, or paragraph, the, people aro told that a commission to fix rates is a legislative power and is unconstitutional because the legislature cannot delegatu legisla tive power. They deny the right of tho legislature to create a board of railroad commissioners to perform ilther legislative or judicial acts. They claim the right to use their own property, aB they call it, just as they see lit, without etate interfer ence. Ib not this an extravagant theory to set up? Nearly every state in the Union has created a railroad com mission anil given it power, more or less, to regulate and control the property of these corporations and say how they shall uso It aud what tlioy shall charge for tho use of it. '1 he United States has passed the interstate commerce act for the same purpose. The state and United states courts have sustained these laws as just aud constitutional. Yet the counsel for the Paciflo corpora tions come before a court in Oregou and Ignore all these facts of legisla tive and judicial history and insult an intelligent court with theories as id uoc of "Ibeli liiopcrtj." that nro both antiquated and ridiculous. It is not strange that theso paper-wad shots had no ell'ect upon Judge Boise, who Is both well up In his knowledge of legislation aud deci sions iu other stotes. Tho light artillery of smalt-lore corporation I.iwyera, who Imagine they can get all by merely claiming the earth knives no visible marks on Oregon's iron-clad commission system. TUB OMIUV OIMKOTION TO lIKlt MANN as a Republican candldato for con gress for a fifth term lies not iu his personal character, but In the fuel that ho is the choico of the old cor rupt political ring at Portland that has dominated over statu politics since a score of years, und given Oregon a reputation for political corruption that tlie statu does not deserve. Tho ring Is a Vauderbllt style of a ring, that plainly says, "The peoplo be d d I" This cor rupt ring seeks to control our sena torships, tho leglsIature,tho appolnt- inent of federal Judges, the uso of public money to boom Its own real estate, the decisions of the bench nnd even tho nullification of slate laws. This corrupt corporation ring la fighting free bridges at Portland, the enforcement of lower freight ratee, and everything the tieoplo seek to do by honest efforts to secure the development and upbuilding of this slate. This amo ring Is bent heart and soul upon preventing the opening of tho Columbia to the sea, and boeks to have money to applied as to give tho Puclflu roads a monop oly of Oregonmarkets and prevent commerce going to the sea. It is this combination that wants tools In congress to ride upon the necks of the people. WHAT THICTKLKOKAM WANT, Copying TjikJouun a rBodllotlul on "Nepotism," The Telegram of Portland says; After all we expected to see tome examples of thin wicked practice I ml ii ted out. Where aro they? What Oregon officials are thus fur nishing u "bane u the public ser vice?" WlllTilKJouitNAli kindly tnllghten the public on thU pulntV It is published at the stato capital uud ought to know. And If "nen tiMii" is fo great an evil as It de scribes, ft ought to point n'lt where It exlfet. TiiK JimitKAis local columns have at different times given the details upon which its editorial comments were based. The Tele- gum has overlooked them or did not wUh to use them. The records of the state hoard of charities are open to It and It knew something, to judge of lis columns, of the blind school lnvetlgr.tI"M. We fear It Is not ns anxious (o publish the facts as mlt'lit Imi heftimlncr to a news- position, Tjib Jouk.val U not a Democrntio paper. But it 13 In favor of giving the peoplo all the light and facts possible. What The Tele gram wauts of it is to assist tho Democratic parly. It wants parti san informaiion for its own partisan purposes. That is what it wants. It does not want facts. It wants Democratic campaign material aud that is not what Tub Jouunal is engaged in furnishing. SALK.U tVlLL FAVJS. Tho action of tho city council or dering paving of a half milo of streets is commendablo because it Is a start lu the right direction. More pavement aud better pavement will follow as a matter of course. It is a good beginning. Salem is the only city in thestate, except Portland, and the system now begun, will, no doubt be ox tended to Includo alt tho principal streets. It may be that the plan of building a street will bo changed, but once begun will not stop. It will grow better. Tho present plan, good or bad, is just what the prop erty owners tlfst agreed upon and whether It shall prove satisfactory or not. no ono ran say that their wishes have not boeou respected. Thoy will pay for just what thoy called for, whether they gut what thoy called for or not. The important fact Is that our city has undertaken this great im provement. It will glvo employ ment to common labor at a time when labor Is least employed. TitK Jouhnal welcomes this step aud will glvo It encouragement to be well done. 1IL.AINK ON TIIK TAItll'l Although Mr. Blulno has not boon ablu to take an active part in the Ohio campaign, owing to the con dition of his health uud tho pressure of his publio duties, holms writteu a letter to an Ohio editor which will havo nil tho efl'tct of a speech, and which shows him to be a warm friend aud admirer of tho MoKiuley tarifl. Air, Blaluo calls utteutlun to the fact that the McKinley bill has given an ample market for many barrels of flour and many pounds of pork. Brazil has entered Into a treaty by which Hour and many other American nrtlclcsaru admitted free, nnd pork at a nominal duty. Cuba and Porto Rice havo reduced the duty on Hour from ?5.80 a barrol to $1, besides putting nearly one huudred articles of American pro duction on tho free list. Gormauy, without nesrntlatluir a formal treaty, has removed tho prohibition on American pork, which opens to us an ontirely now market, worth from $15,0u0,000 to $20,000,000 a year. Mr. Blaine concludes by Baying "I urn not, thorefore, an opponent of the McKinley bill, as tho Democratic papers aro constantly alleging." That Mr. Blaine did not agree In all respects with the Waya aud Means Committee- of tho House of Representatives which framed the presont tarifl' law Is perfectly well known, but tho dlflerenco of opinion went only to methods aud not to any question of principle. It Is a little strange to see Blaine, u life long friend of protection, charged by tho Democratic press of Chicago with hostility to a protective tarifl j but the attack only shows to what straits that party must ho reduced iu the coutcst now ponding. Tho McKinley hill Is proving Itself greater aud moro beneficial than ever its framers could have antici pated. It has caused commercial consternation In Great Britain and u corresponding feeling of elation in tho United States. To charge Blaine with hostility to a measure which Is producing the very results to which ho has devoted tliu best years of his llfu is to accuse u king of lack of loyalty ur a president of want of devotion to the doctrines of Republicanism.

City politics begins to boil and county politics begins to buzz. mini i.iin .ii i mm Tho Democratic papers In applaud ing Dr. Lane's reply to Dr. Row land's report on tho asylum, forget that they are upholding Lauo In a light on Pennoyer Correspondents should bo accorded the sumo privilege tho editor always enjoys of letting their names ap pear with their articles where they dlsctifs public questions.

In The Forum for November, Ed ward A- Frteiuati, the English his torian, the highest living puthorlty perhaps ou th subject, explains the political situation In Europe, point ing out the sjeci flo daufeers to jcace. Another remarkable article will appear In the wimo number on (he rnynles aud politics nf Europe, from an American point of view, by Wil liam K. Thayer, who records the results of studies recently made In Europe of the political aud military situation. These two articles to gether niako a complete review of the pieseut European situation, aud give a clear undmlannlng of Highest of all in Leavening Tower. 0 ABSOLUTELY PURE tho status of each of the great powers. Tho Seattlo Telegraph Is a Demo cratic paper but It Is not complimen tary, to the Democratic party. It says: "Tho operation of tho Austra lian ballot, it is thought, will bo in favor of Campbell In Ohio. A major ity of the poor peoplo in this coun try aro naturally Democrats, If they ho not exposed to tho Importunities of their employers. Tho Becret bal lot gives them more freedom ot ac tion. Tho plan said to ho adopted lu Ohio toollsot this, is to hire tho purchtiseablo element among tho Democrats and tho doubtful voters to stay away from tho polls." Ou the county seat tight iu Gilliam cuunty tho Condon Olobo thus puts tho subject before tho peeple: "Tho most miserably bungled up piece of county olllclal business yet perpe trated upon the taxpayers of Gllllatn 'county lu tho aggravating manner lu which II. 8. Evvlng, our county lreasurer(?) has criminally neglected the Itnportautoilleo to which ho was elected a year ago last Juno. Ho has done absolutely nothing toward fullllllug his obligations, except to appoint a deputy und draw his salary." In a letter to tho chairman of tho Republican state central committee, Town's old war governor writes thus of tho pending conflict In that state: I feel confident our ticket will be elected iu November, triumphantly elected ns It ought to bo. Tho Its upon which Democratic success de pended did not materialize If tho doleful prophecies of our Democratic friends as to the effect of the Mc Kinley bill had proved true, if the gross misstatements about that bill bud boon believed, our prospect of success would not linvu been so blight. If (as it seems our Demo cratic friends desired) our crops hud failed, wo would havo been Injured financially a well as politically. But none of these tfs came to pass. Tho splendid success of tho McKin ley hill has killed tho Dumooratlu prophecies bovoud nuv nroHncnL.of resurrection, una as to our crops tho good Lord has been deafly on our side, and wlion Ho. la for us, who can stand against us?

A TKAOHKH KII.LB HIMSELF. Quinuy, Ills., Oct. 22. About 8:0 o'clock yesterday morning, In a ravlno between Jersey nnd York streets, about two blocks from tho river, Prof, J. It. Stovcnson, Instruc tor of science nnd mathematics In Franklin High School, sent two bullets Into his brain. Tho body was found about U o'clock. When Prof. Stevenson wns about seven years old ho fell, striking his head on some hard object, At that time, it Is tald, tho attending doctor stated that tho wound would bo heard from again. It Is probable that tho eflcct of that blow on his heud at times produced temporary aberra tion. About seven years ngo Prof. Ste venson attempted tu tukohls life by Jumping Into tho river. Tho shock when ho struck tho water brought him to his senses, Ho afterwards stated that ho had no idea how hu ciime to Jump Into tho river, This af fair was kept ns quiet as possible nnd was not generally known. Slnco that tlmo until yesterday ho has had ono or two very slight nttueks, but only for a moment at a time. When ho left homo this morning ho apparently hud uo possible thought of committing suicide, Ho bade his wlfu good-by as usual and started for the Franklin School, Tlie spell came over him nnd stop ping at a hardware store ho pur chased tho revolver, filling every chamber. Ho then walked south to Jersey street, thence to Second. From Btcond street he began run ning towards the spot where tho deed' was committed. Several per sous saw him, uud they Mute that ho wns running at his utmost speed. Reaching a stoludcd spot he com niltltd the dct-d of self-destiuctlou, a rmuooifirr'H Hitium, CIofciiHN, Oct. th?. Asa mult of a Columbia City druggist's error, John Hiulth of that place jesterday nd. uilulidvd to two of his children a mixture of sulphuric uud other adds In the pluco of worm-seed oil for which ho hud called, Tho result wus the death of his 8 year-old child and tho probable fatal Illness of tlw other.
