AND WHAT GOOD MAS IlKKN AC- COSII'LISIIED. The Salem Jouknai, finds much to praise in theOreiruu railroad com iiiImIou, which, it says, "has shown whut stuff II is made of, In having found the Uulou Pacific guilty of enuring, by negligence, a wreck by which five lives were lost, and a number wounded." And, may it be peimitlcd to ask, what good has beeu accomplished. The commis sion has done no more than the Jouknai, Itself hns dune many, many times. Ferhups that is why the JouKNAL fl mis so much to praise in these findings. Oregouiau. if the fearless decisions of the Oregon railroad commission in the Labish and La Grande fatalities liavo accomplished i good public eud, its work certainly deserves public commendation. In tho pLnblsh case it was well known that tno southern racillo olllciuls fougui hard to secure an acquittal and tried in every way to get tho commission to sustain its removed rail theory. All the pressure possible was brought to bear to lorco tue commission to take that position whlou tho mana gers and attorneys have since taken on every trial in courtaud on which thoy have b3en defeated by overy jury and mulcted iu sums of dam ages from 12000 to $20,000 in each case. Does the Oregouiau protend that the verdict of the railroad com mission had nothing to do with all tbo injured people getting compen sation? It will not pretend that tbe work of tho commission in that case did not result In compelling the company to rebuild the Labish trestle and fill in a great part of it, aud that tho company has slnco bieu forced by the commission to it build nearly all its bildges aud tieatlesiu Oregon, It will not pre tend thut all this has accomplished nothing. The decision in the La Graudo wreck will enable tho families of the killed persons, and the Injured oues to collect damages which but for this ofiiclal investigation by the state thes' would have great difficulty in obtaining. The Unlou Paciflo company also at once issued orders "H as directed by tho commission, tak ing all Mogul engines off passenger trains and orders were issued that trains must not bo run around thoso sharp curves nu high river banks at over fifteen miles au hour. Does all this accomplish nothing? It is greatly to be feared Tho Oregouiau is u6t only refusing to notice any of the good work of tho Oregon rail way commission but Is seeking to withhold from the public tbo benefit of that vigilance and thoso safe guards which it is tho function of the state to provide. KILLED A GIANT VllAUD. While tho Democrats are abusing the billion-dollar congress, the peo ple will do well to remember that It passed laws to effectually kill the Louisiana lottery swindle. It cau be safely assumed that no such bill would have passed had that con gress been Democratic. The history and tho exact methods of the conduct of tho business of tho Louisiana Lottery company have never been explained In brief compass until the January number of Tho Forum presented the com plete history of the compauy by one of the founders of the Anti Lottery league aud tho editor of the anti. lottery orguu of New Orleans. From this narrative it appears that tho Lottery company was organized by a charter given by tho recon struction legislature of tho state, aud successive stages of its growth aro all explained up to the time when it has now put u ticket of its own In the field with the hope of renewing its charter for another twenty-five years. Tho total amount of money taken in by tho lottery per annum if all its tickets aro sold is 128,000,000, aud the largest possi ble amount that can be drawn by tho holders of the tickets Is a little more than 114,000,000; ho that tho lottery puts into its own coffers about 47 per cent, of all tho money that It receives, and this sum, In years when the solo of it tickets is good, amounts to 113,000,000 or more. Instead of taking money from the peoplo to hoard it up, the billion-dollar congress put money in circulation and passed laws that tend to enable the people to keep It. RUOOKSTKl) flOMMKNT. J!utt the bad road system. Good roads aro Indlspenslble to the prosperity and growth of this country. Senator Mitchell Is as likely to be a dark horse from Oregon as Gover nor Peunoyer, Ex-Gov. Moody wan - the only Pacific coast delegate who wu an original, first, last nud all the time Harrison man. At least, bo says 11 ti exchange. At the recent banquet Grover Cleveland was introduced ns "the modern Jackson," This county can sympathize with Multnomah, as Marion county has always paid mora than her just sbure of taxes. Wallace Yates of Eola, writes to ask a Portlaud paper: "I nm curi ous to know what kind of a report on tuxutlan the Oregon State Orange committee will give us." Good streets In town and good roads In the country tributary to the town would do mora to give Mnrlou county one hundred thousand popu lation than any other one thlug. Eugene Guard: Tho Oregonlan should givo tho Oregon farmer a pointer on the way It manages to have Its million dollar plant and real property assessed at a little more than $50,000. Wo do not see how active practical farmers cau get along without some such papers as tho County Gentle man of Albany, N. Y., or tho Fanciers' monthly of Ban Jase, Cal., (poultry.) Tlieso aro at tho top of their class. The greatest reform tho country needs Is tho overthrow of tho Re publican party. Oregon Courier. We do not belevo tho above to bo a sound principle. It is not even good policy. Upon that Issue tho Democratlo party will logo oftencr than It will win. Tho fruit growers of Ashland havo organized nu association to prevent introduction of pests and secure proper grading of all fruit shipped. Hon. H, B. Carter 1b president. This Is a stop in the line of progress. One of tho problems before tho legislature of this state should bo the devising of a plan to encourago the building of more railroads. Oregon must havo moro liberal laws to induce building of railways and must havo them soon. A watch-dog of tho treasury Is a nlco thlug to brag about in n plat form but a very uncomfortable anl mal to havo around when you wish a special appropriation, as in tho case of Govornor Ponuoyor asking (430,000 of Ho man and the Demo cratlo congress for aportago railway. Fourth -class post masters will be interested in a bill Introduced In tho senate, providing (hat they shall bo paid upon tho basis of the whole amount of box rent collected and commissioned upon revenue from all sources as follews: On first $50 or loss per quarter, 100 per cent, on tho next 5-100 or less per quartor, GO per cent; on the uoxt $200 or leas per quarter, CO per cout; nud on nil tho balance, 80 per cent. The Farmers Alliance of Jackson county has passed resolutions that its members should support tho Alliance papers, etc. That Is right and proper. Farmers can do nothing wiser than to refuse to tako news papers devoted exclusively to de fense of tho Interests of tho corpora tions and their political tools. Tho farmers cause is, however, almost as badly served by tho publications that array his Interests as tho only Interests the county should consider. They aro just aa narrow and per nicious. Portland Telegram, (Dem.) No man has ever grown upon this country with such rapidity as has David 15. Hill. His promotion in office bus not been so rapid as some others, but from tho tlmo he first came Into tho governor's oflico down to the present day he has continued to expand in public prominence, Within (ho last year tho expansion has been marvelous. Ho Is now tho acknowledged leader of tho Democratic party, and wields supreme Influence In shaping Its policy. Tacoma News, (Dem.) As a statesman Hill has never displayed conspicuous ability. When tbe discussions of public questions Is on he takes an insignificant posi tion. When he could play some e (recti vo trick upon some of his of his opponenU ho was always happy to do so, but tho discussion of principles Is not attractive to him at all. Jt Is therefore somewhat surprising that ho should havo marked the closo of his term as governor by outlining the policy that the Democrats in congress should adopt. It is not at all surpris ing that ids policy is a poor one and has called down upon his head tho censure of tho Democratic press. The National Economist prints Senator Hilt's Elmira, N. Y., sjeecli In favor of free bimetalllo colnuge and ed I to rally discusses it thus; "He says practically upon the sliver question that a sllvor dollar should be worth as much aa a gold dollar intrinsically, and that if coinage was trea It would be; that it is only the government monopoly of coinage that depressea silver below ila normal value, aud if tho condl- Highest of all in Leavening Power. m ABSOLUTELY PURE tlonB existing prior to tho demone tization of silver .in 1873 again existed tho same parity of value would obtain. He says that whilo free coinage is right, tho Democracy must not ubo their majority in tho houso of representatives to pass a free coinage bill. Ho changes nt once from tho statesman to the poli tician, loses sight of tho iuteresta of the masses, and becomes tho cham pion of a partisan issue in which there is no relief for the peoplo."

Thero aro not many con ties in Eastorn Oregon that pay up as woll as Crook. Representative Scott, of Illinois, has Introduced a bill prohibiting tho postofllco department from sell ing stamped envelopes bearing tho usual printed request for a return to tho owner after a limited period. Speaking of tho resolution, Mr. Scott said: "Under tho present law, tho government is a direct competitor with overy printing house in tho country. It is an un warranted trespass by tho govern ment upon tho private business of ovary printer lu tbe United States. Many millions of dollars annually nro by this act taken from tho printing business. This does not seem fair or just. The government should tako its hands oil' and not oppress ono of tho greatest and most important of our industries."

MISCELLANY. THE CHILIAN DISPUTE. Washington, Jan. 17. Tho members of congress aro awaiting with interest tho publication of tho Chilian correspondence. There 1b a belief entertained by some members that while tho situation Is grave, war will not result It is under stood tho position assumed by the United States is that an apology must bo made by tho Chilians, and then the question of Indemnity wll follow. Some fear is entertained that Chill, asserting her lndepen donco and freedom from outside presBuro, may by procrastination bring about a stato of things which will terminate in tho rupture of tbe relations between tho two countries, aud hostilities may then ensue. Though this latter is regarded as unlikely and improbable, tho mem bers who express themselves in a paciflo manner also intimate very plainly, however, that they will not be baokward In upholding tho ad ministration in steps necessary to the maintonanco of national dignity and self-respect. One senator called attention to tho intense national prldo of tho Chilian peoplo as ac counting for tho delay of tho gov ernraout in making reparation. Ho said that President Montt was lu a position beset with difficulties, No doubt his disposition was to make amends for the Baltlmoro outraget but to do so without cautiously leading his peoplo to believe he was not sacrificing national dignity would brlug down on his adminis tration tho wrath of a sensitive aud excited peoplo, and might caueo auothcr revolution. BY I'OI'ULAn VOTE. Washington, Jan. 17. The houso committee on tho election of president, vlco-president and rep resentatives, at a meeting yesterday, gave special attention to the various propositions. Tho joint resolution, what Miller urged, proposes a con stitutional amondmont giving one United States senator to eaoh stato primarily, and an additional senator for each 1,000,000 of inhabitants, all to bo elected directly by tho peoplo. Miller contended that tho smaller Btatcs havo a disproptionately large representation In tho senate and his scheme would secure a more eaulable representation. Tho othor speakers directed their nrguments generally to tho broad question of tho advisa bility of tho election of senators by a direct vote of tho people. The corporato influences, It was urged, wero too potent a factor in an elec tion of senator by legislation. At tention was called to the frequency of charges of corruption and bribery inndo during and subsequent to the elections of senators. Powers, of Vermont, askod If a popular elec tion might not result in sending less able men to tho senate. Enloe said that might possibly occur occasionally, as It sometimes did iu all public elections, but whilo men of lnfonor capacity might bo chosen for tho senate, the country will suffer less to havo a fool lu tho senate six years than to have a corrupt scoundrel. Bryan proposes that the senators be elected by a direct vote ouly lu such states or decide, through their legislatures, to elect senators in this maunert while Enloe and JohUBon proposed tho new method be compulsory as to all states. Johnson was the Republi can caucus nominee at tho last Mua toriul election in his state, but wa defeated. He was approached by au uttorney for a railway corporation, and told that to make his election certain it was necessary ho would give an assurauco that he would favor a certain man as judge for that district. The attorney wild the rail, way had seven or eight members of tho legislature, and controlled their votes. Johnson said he did not cou slder it honorable to outer into a bargain: of that kind, declined to give assurance asked, and the rtmiit was ho was defeated, Yet at that time ho was the acknow ledged choice of the peopk of hit stato for Unltad State aetmtar, as well aa tho choice of his party.aud would have been eloetod but for the people's will being thwarted byeoi rupt corporation IntloeRoe, The committee then adjouriwd until next week. !
