Brooks a So far as tho Republican party Is concerned, much will depend upon the record made by Republicans lu the coming session of the legislature. It Is not presumed that there will be any less or any more bed-rock Re publicans In Oregon two years hence, on account of what may or may not be done at the coming ses sion. But It sometimes makes a great deal of difference to a party, aud especially to so intelligent a lot of men as Republicans from what point of advantage tho party can make its campaign. There Is a large uoatiujr,uucertain and doubtful vote In Oregou, and Oregon on certain Issues presented In a certain way 1b a close, uncertain and doubtful slate. It will depend much on the action of the next legislature how those Is sues shall be presented. As an Il lustration of this fact about Oregon politics In the future, let us consider the question of electing United States senators by direct vote of the people. It Is well known that Sena tor Mitchell Is a champion of that Idea. If Senator Mitchell were a candidate two years hence there would be an easy solution of the problem. He would be a platform himself, bo to speak. The legislature of 1891 In each house udopted the idea of popular election ot senators. That was done by Republicans. The Incoming legislature will have this same matter to deal with. The legislature chosen In 1894 wilt be elected on the senatorial Issues. If the Populists follow their custom in other states they will recommend a candidate for senator to bo voter! for at the polls. The Democrats will not name a man but will nearly all vote for the populist candidate on the theory that anything serves Democracy that defeats a Republi can. What the Republicans will do depends much on the legislature. The Journal believes the party should maintain Its record of two years ago and boldly come out for the election of a senutor by direct vote of the people, It Is a popular idea. It Is an idea that Is growlon stronger each year. If the Popullits or FuslonlstB put up a popular man to be voted for at the polls, and tho Republicans do not name their can didate, the Republican voter will be at a disadvantage at the polls, be cause any voter will prefer to cast a ballot directly for senator, in place of casting a blank to allow some legislator to vote for senator, he does not know who. Tho proposition was submitted to a vote of the people in California at the last election, whether United States seuators should be elected by vote of the people. The votofor this proposition was 187,058, against 13,842. This a remarkable verdict for popular election of senators. It is not to be doubted that Oregon would give a similar expression In favor of a similar proposition. FAVOR A JUTE MILL. At tho last moetlng of the Port laud Federated Trades Assembly It was unanimously voted that the assembly favor tho establishment of u jute mill In the state penitentiary lu place of tho present stove Indus try. Tho Jute Industry does not coufllct In any way with honest toll, as there is no pluce lu tho Unit ed States where jute saoks aro made outsldo of a penitentiary, Tho jiembers say that It will work a benefit to the furmcrs and provo a blessing to the state, The assembly recoguizeH the fact that tho present contractors are at work on members of the legislature lu the hopo that another ten years lease may bo giv en. Before the present system was In augurated 10 years ago thore weio 40 men employed In the stove in dustry lu Portland, but today there aro only four men and a boy, It Is claimed that within ouo year after the discontinuance of tho present system of convict labor the Industry will be revived. The assembly appealH to every labor organization and Knight of Lubor assembly lu the state to assist lu requesting the passage of a bill by tho next legislature to establish n Jute mill, and to discontinue the leasing of tho convicts as soon as the mill cau be put in operation, The assembly favors selling the sacks directly to the farmers, and doing away with the middleman.

Several weeks of tho present ses slou of congress have passed, and so far the "reformers," who came lu like raging lions, are deporting th6m selvesllke lambs. According to their story, immediately after the elec tion they wero resolved to force the Republicans to repeal tho "robber" tariil, or at least to change It lu Im portant particulars at the short Bes slou. Tho reformers could not wait. Tho people had spokeu, they said, aud there must be reform. It was not Just that the country should be deprived, even for a few weeks, of the reform which had been ordered In the election. But now that con irress Is in session we hear no more of this. So far as tho proceedings of congress are concerned, one would not imagine that it contained nuy reformers ut all. Tho Repub licans are not being "forced," In stead of pressure on the part of the reformers for immediate reform of the tariff,they themselves seem to be settling down to accept a delay of at least two years In any change of tho tarlll after they shall come into full possession of the national legislature and full responsibility of the gov ernment. It Is pretty generally ac cepted as ft. certainty that there will be no extra session. In other words, not a section, not a line and not a word of tho "Infumous" tariff is to be changed by the Democratic party for two years. Indeed, the reformers appear to have forgotten all about reform. Tbey are engrossed with such things as postofllces, consul ships, cabinet places, etc., und so far as they ure concerned "reform" can go to the demnitlon bow wows, What do thoy care If the country Is robbed of (1000,000,000, and the poor made poorer and tho rich richer by the "Infamous" tarlfl? They wou the election on the cry of tho robber tarlit.and that Is all they wanted. Ap parently reform has been put aside until another election is at hand.

Tho Roy.il Sovereign, o largest warship in tho world, made her trial , trip with the- officers of the British admiralty on board. Hor displace- "" ment is 14,000 tons, and hor spoed, which was kept up for three hours, wus lo.i unots per nour. The largest and fastest vessels of the French navy, tho Admiral Bau din and tho Formidable, nro 3,000 tons less, and their speed is three knots less. Our battleships .the " Indiana, itho Massachusotte and the ' Oregon aro 4,000 tons less, and their estimated speed is threo knots loss.,, ' Italy has five ships afloat whoso dis- , placement is nearly as largo as that ,', of tho Royal Sovereign, and whose,-' Bpecd is almost tho same. ' Neitlior Russia nor Gormany nor Austria nor Spain has any ships that will ooinparo in sizo or effectiveness ' with tho Royal Sovoroirrn. The -" crack ship of tho British navy, the Inflexible, is nearly 3,000 tons less in displacement than tlio Royal Sover eign. She is 320 feot in length and 75 feot beam, as against 880 feot in length nnd 70 feot beam in tho Royal Sovereign. Tho great Italian ships nro 400 feot long by 7-t feot beam. BUt when wo turn to tho crack merchant steamers of tho day wo find that tho City of Now York and tho City of Paris, which have just passed under tho American flag, are COO feot long by 03 feot beam. Thoy aro 200 to 2G0 foot longer than tho types of tho English nnd Fronch, battleships befretho jttoyalSoyor oign and twelve- feet "narrower. mr them tho proportion of beam to length is 8.69, whilo in tho battlo Bhips it is less than 0, or about tho proportion which was usual in the forties. a Tho Royal Sovereign's nrmamoa reflects tho progress of naval gua nerv. Tho Italian Italia. Duillo and Drmdolo, which wero-builfbotWa S icvu nnit 1604, carry luu-ton guns, tho British Inflwriblo carries 80-ton guns, tho French Admiral. Baudin and tho Formidable carry 75-lbir guns, but tho Royal Sovereign only1 carries 07-ton guns, and our three battleships carry 4D-ton guns. Tho reason of tho reduction in the sizo of tho gun is first, tho difliculty ' of handUng enormous masses of metal with sufficient rapidity, and, secondly, tho apprehension that no vessel can bo built so ns to endure tho concussion of tho flro of vory heavy guns without hor plates split ting and parting. Tho best opinion now is that guns not exceeding forty fivo tons in weight would bo more offectlvo in action than guns exceed ing that weight. Thoro is vory little doubt that tho Italia and Duillo would wrench themselves apart in action long before thoy had destroyed thoir enemy. Tho projectile thrown by tho Royal Sovereign will weigh 1,200 pounds. Such missiles will do quito us much damngo if thoy striko an object as a missilo weighing a ton or nearly a ton, Cincinnati 'Com mercial Gazotto. , lif VA ;n' Sore Throat Among Speakers. "Ministers' soro throat" is a torm of common speech. Its wido um shows how common aro affections of tho throat among clergymen, Sir Moroll Mackonzio, in his well known work on tho throat, devotes a chapter to its con&iderution. Much of tho throat troublo com mon to actors, clergymen, teachors and tho liko is aggravated nnd kept up, if not actually caused, by an im-t prompcr mothod of using tho organs of vocalization, especinlly of tho deli cato though powerful muscles of volco production. Publio speaking requires special training for its successful perform ance It diilors as much from ordi nary talking ns running does from walking, or ns skilled oarsmanship does from paddling. An overstrained volco gives to its ownor not only a. sense of mental and physical depres sion, but actual discomfort or pain in tho region of tlio laryu. Asido from tho courses of rhetoric aud elocution common in our schools, Bomo teaching aimed at the particu lar cultivation of voico production would bo a powerful agent in pi? vonting "throat strain" in publio epookors.
