0KF.G0N AND MASSACHUSETTS.
Portland Telegram: The for west
needs more people. Population as
mucb ns competition Is the life of
trade. People make business, not
vacant areas. Thoy make towns,
cltlesjthoy provide a market. There
must be a demand in order to pro
vide a supply. If Portland wants
250,000 population, there must be
800.000 people In the state. If Ore
icon wants half a dozen cities of 25,.
000 to 60,000 population, there muni
be over a million souls In the state at
largo.
Oregon wants people. It wants
them not only In thousands, hut
tens of thousands. How In the
world can ntiy manufacturing en
terprise expect to start up, which
may be solicited, uoIcbi the project
ors look around and see a popula
tion to buy their goods ? The mil
lions In the Central West and East
do not help them any. The old es
tablished manufactories look after
them in a way that brooks no com
petition from this coast. The Oregon
manufacturer must bo able to count
on an Oregon constituency, while
the Massachusetts maguate looks
not only to his state, but to the
Northeast, to the whole Atlantic
seaport, to the Middle states aud to
tho Central West. Supposing Ore
gou has 400,000 inhabitants at the
present moment, for that iltjure-wlll
cover it easily, being a large lucrease
over the national census; one-fourth
of that is right in Portland, leaving
300,000 to be distributed over an area
that can readily support 3,000,000.
Tt is almost ridiculous to believe
that Oregon's 00,000 square miles
hold only 400,000 people, while
Massachusetts' little 8315 square
miles are not crowded at all with
its 2,500,000 Inhabitants. In other
words.Oregon ranks Beventh in area
und thirty-eighth In population of
all the states, while Massachusetts
is fortieth lu area but sixth in pop
ulation. The Willamette valley
proper, the part that is the very
cream of it, could hold two Massa
chusetts, aud the latter is teeming
with busy cities, whioh lu turn are
teeming wllb manufactories. Every
acre of tillable ground there is also
occupied by smaller land owners,
aud farmhouses by tho score are
seen along the country roads be
tween the frequent towns.
CLEVELAND AND MURPHY.
Mr. Cleveland us president-elect
has given out that Hon. Edward
Murphy of New York City is not a
proper man of New York to bo
elected United States senator, aud
that tho elevation of such a man
as Murphy would bo extremely dis
tasteful to Cleveland. The man
who is elected puts his ofllclal foot
upon the neck of the mull who hopes
for an election.
It Is not pretended that Mr. Mur
phy is not qualified for the place he
seeks, or that he Is immoral, or has
committed any crime, or that he is
not a good Democrat. His only of
fense seems to consist of his demo
cracy. Cleveland wus not his choice
fur president before the convention,
but lie gave him his support and
helped elect him.
Mr. Cleveland's attitude of pub
lic cenBor, ns to tho lltness of one of
his party leadera for party honors,
Is strange, to say the least. No Re
pupllcan president ever so far forgot
himself us to interfere on the eve of
a senatorial election and dictate to a
a legislature who it should elect
senator. Mr. Murphy is nTam-
many man. It is true, ho Is not u
miiL'wumn. Hut that Is the mis
fortune, aud not the fuult, of the
young man. He may become one
as Cleveland did.
sssm
ABSOLUTELY PURE
AN OVERWORKED COURT
Twenty-five cases are yet to be
argued before the Oregon Supreme
court before tho March term.
There are many cases already argued
and submitted, some of great import
ance. The railroad rate case cannot
be considered properly Jn less than
two weeks.
Multnomah county will ask for an
other circuit jadge,as well as Marlon.
Judge Sbattuck has over a hundred
cases for appeal piled up on his cal
ender. The future outlook for our
Supreme court Is not bright so far as
getting many holidays Is concerned,
How can any relief bo obtained
for the overburdened court. Busi
ness before the court is Increasing
rapidly. The Judges can only put
in so much time. They must hear
new cases. But speedy justice de
mauds that they also have time to
consider them within a reasonable
period.
One way would be to select more
judges, This would not meet with
favor from economical legislators.
A great help would be to allow them
a stenographer and type, writer, to
dictate their opinions to, and save
them the constant time-consuming
drudgery of writing them out.

TO WHAT ARK NYE COMINfl?
To whut are we coming as an
American people who pretetid to bo
living uuder a Democratic constitu

coming?
Tlieso remarks are elicited by tho
stupendous Idolatry of President
elect Cleveland by tho party which
bus elected tilra. His consent must
be obtained before that party cuu
do anything It seems.
It wus given out that Mr. Crisp
could not bo re-elected sjieakor be
cause Mr. Cleveland wanted some
onoelw. The present Democrutlu
house would have passed a free sil

ference. Before u tarlll bill can be
Introduced It must be submitted to
Cleveland. He has said that Mr,

Hue Into the hands of the national
government, not only because of ttie
danger of cholera next year (for
every year that cholera has appeared
in Europe It has appeared hero the
following year), but as a safeguard
auainst oilier epidemics. Dr. E. O.

Orcgoulon on Death Penalty:
There Is but one ground upou which
arugumeut for or against this custom
should bo based, The rcul Issue is
this: Is It for tho welfaro of society
that the life of the murderer bo for
feited. rSeiitlmeut hus no placo In
the dlscu&ulnu, If hanging a man
or placing him lu thu cleotilu chair
rids society of u dangerous member,
and at the same tlnio has the eUVot
of restraining others from bt coming
equally dangerous, It la both the
right uudduty of socluty to coutiuue
the custom, if tills be u mistake,
aud murders would bo lessened lu
number by abolishing tho death
penalty, thou It li iqually the duty
of society to abolish It. At present
the weight of opinion Is that society
