It Is clenrly tlio retidiog of the constitution that HtuendraontB must bo adopted by two tuccoedlug legletaturefl and submitted to the poople by tbo next succfcdlng llilaturo. This tilt) last letslsture failed to do, uud uo other legislature oiud) fir prodeoBJior that boiiiq thing which was exclusively within Its province for the tluio being. By this lino of reasoning, which Is hinted ivt In Mr. Idloman'u opinion, it la plain that tbo atnendmentH nre kuooked out entirely. Thoro will bo no weeping, go far as the peoplo aru concerned, 'l'hey arc simply saved tho trouble of voting upon propositions which would almost cortaluly be defeated, bo far ub they aro of any Importance. 'I be amendment to gnarrautee tho rights of colored people Is unnecessary, because It Is now a dead letter, and every col ored man's ilgUtH uro as fully protected In Oregon by tbo noglH of the federal constitution as they aro in every North ern state of the Unlou. The two vl clous amendments which pre knocked out uro tho ouo Increasing iho supreme court to live members, and the one giv ing private corporations tho power ol eminent domain for tbo construction oj Irrigating ditches. While some law vers may dlller from me, the state ot Oregoj bus about as much use for llvt supremo judges as a freighting wagon would have for live wheels, dtaten havlug live times tho population ol Oregon, uud twenty times tbo wealth get a oug with three Judges. Tho lux ury ot a five-Judge court la one tbo peo plo can forego until their population hua at least doubled or trebled. The appealing of casea Involving small amouutsof mouey should bo limited, uud our laws should bo amended so that partita can leave tho ilnal deter inlutulou of tho matter to the circuit judge. Thiu Is tho custom iu Euglaud uud some of the older slates, and pre vents tho taking of appeale by one party or the other to tbo stipremecouri when uciiug under tho smart of defeat or sense of grleyunco at tho decision In tho lower court. Tho Irrigation umond- meut was to permit tho ouactmont of Irrigation legislation wulcli Is common to nearly ull tho western Btates. But giving private corporations the right to condemn the right ut way and get con trol of tho water from publlo streams by exercise of the power of eminent do main will only prove destructive lo tbo rights of tho peoplo in tbo long run. If water Is to bo monopolized for the purpose of Irrigation, It ought to be duno by state or county authority, and thus protect the rights of nil tho peo ple. Water monopoly, llko land uud transportation monopoly, only euds Iu an nrlstocartlo paternalism, increasing tbo power of tho few, and driving the many into chancery. Tho Eastern Oregon congressional situation has uot much changed the past week. Tho friends of Judge Fee, or l'eudleton, who recently retired from tho circuit judgeship ho so long and houotably held, are saying that ho Is not In tho Held. He would make u stroug wuu for tho place. Tho last time ho ran ho led oil tho rest of the ticket, every county in the district by a largo voto Iroui all parties. CougreES mau EIIIb bus no more active opposi tion now than ho has had before, and when tbo tlnop came for action It van ished. Ho had as much visible oppo sition two years ago at this time but it did not materialize. It is a fact that a number of Eastern Oregon men nre being mentioned right along in the preBS over tho mountains. Tbo only man mentioned this side Is Cbos. Wesley Fulton, of Abtorla, J. B. Huntington, of Burns, Col. J. B. Eddy, of Portland, tho Stato ot large, R. R. Anderrou, of Baker, District At torney Baud, of Baker, ex-senator Dodson and a uumbcr of others are be. log tossed up in print. Tbero Is not a particle of doubt Portland will spring a man at the last hour us usual. Port land will probably leave the choice again to Eastern Oregon, if th?y can auree unon anyone. There uro a host of fellows at Portland wlo would be glad of tho chance and oil there la In it. The men on tho Orrgoi.lau stall" are personally talklug Fulton and predict ing his nonnuatlon. Jf Judge Fee would come out r- quurely as a candi date hU personal following and jren eral popularity would change the situ ation. No one believes thero Is a par tide of Interest in tho ofllco but to pet at tho spoils. A cougresBtnan who would actually repreient the people of PREJUDICE," Portland mid the second district U an undreamed or powlblilty. What Is wanted by the managers If posslbc Is h Hinooth, uucoiiitloiiablo lawyer who would staud In with all the orlxto crntlo paternalism that constitutes the political wisdom of the day. I w, uld say In conclusion of this comment and gossip f hat Judgo Fee whs a safe, hon est, fearless, economical man on (he bench. Mr. Uuwan, senator from G'atitatid Harney who a In Halem recently, said If he had to choose uw he would voto for Ellis. The foltowluc Is from San Francisco Utiroulole. Intorestlng partly fn.ru the fact that this Is evidently the sort of a politician M. II. Dj Young thinks be is, or tho scrt that one of his writ re on bis paper iludi it prothable, pleas ant and convenient to picture him: "At a political banquet held a fv evenings ago a gentleman of distinc tion In the councils of Mm party was called to respond to the toast, put up luterrogattvely,"What Is a politician?" Without uijdeitaklug to quote or p'ir apbase the reply we vanture upon a definition of our own. A politician Is a man of education, breeding, Integrl , and patriotism, who consents to m.-- r,IIC0 ft l!rKe porumi ot ills Inillvldiial kiiuiu iui niu uuvuui'Biumii 01 uie priu clp'es of government In which he be. Ileves, and which are lest represented by tho party with which ho IsaflillaUd That there are stalled politicians who come far short of this standard In not to be denied, but Unit fact in nowlce Interferes with the true definition of a politician. A man who has been employed re cently at cleaning the streets of tialem was ut ouo time Justice of the peace ol the capital city. It Is thought by his friends that his political promotion was provented only by his deafness. This Is not the first tlnio that a man's hearing has stood In tho way of hit achieving greater political greatness. It Is recalled Mist Presldeut Harrison would probably hayo appointed Judge Lord to the seat on tho federal In m-h u, w occupied by Judge Gilbert had he not learned utmost ut tho last miuu'e that the balem candidate was a litilt hard of hparlug. But there are worse defect In a publlo oftlclal than lelng hard of bearing bo far as his physloal organs are concerned, Too many men aro elevated to n position as Gilbert was, who afterwards turn a deaf ear to the Interests of tho peoplo, but their bearing is very good when tho Inter ests of the corporatlous are concerned . Senator Mitchell appears to think that tbo new woman ought to have a place Iu tho halls of congress at Wush luglon. During the past few woeks requests wero sent out to a number of public men for an cxpresslou-of opinion as to tho effect of such an Innovation, i'ho following was .Bjuator Mltcholl's reply: "Iu my Judgment, the reBiili would, viewed from every possiblo standpoint, bo uouetlclal in all respects Tho publlo morals of congress would be improved, Ha legislation would be elevated aud liberalized in tono aud character, tho rights of one half of tho89 comprising tbo cltzenshlp of our country aud now unfortunately and unjustly deprived of all volco In making both legislation and laws, would ho better protcctod tuau they now aro and un act of long-delayed Justice would be done to. this disfran chised elass of our citizens." . It Is worth noticing that the Attorney-General has roudered bis opinion upon tboslmplo written request of the Secretary of Btate, aud appears to have given his decision entirely frte from all political bias or dictation from auy source whatover. Tills Is proaress In Oregon politics, and both Mr. Idlemau aud Mr. Klncald are to bo constat ulated upon, their Independence and appareut feeling of respouslDllity to tho peoplo only. Thero was a time when no such important opinion could have been rendered wlthont interfer ence or dictation from outside polit ical management. . Rev. H. F. Wallace, Rev. Roland D. Grsnt.and Rev. G. W. Graunle, of 8alem, aro probably the most proml nent and able A. P. A. organizers In this state.

Children Cry for Pltoher'f Catrtorla, Social Revi?u) HKN C.CII AWN. 1li popular ami ublu Impersonator ap peared at tlie Keed Wednesday night, Imper sonation the principal characters In Shale ipearet Merchant of Venice with the utmost nudity to each one. The audience was a large one nnj accorded Mr. Chapin the appreciation he deserved. The program was lengthen! and varied by the recitation of an original poem, and other selections, chief among which was n short delineation of the Squeers family who conducted the "Squcers School" described in "Nicholas Niclelby." Mr. Chapin possesses a flexible and rxptess ive voice, together with a fine sympathy with the characters he represents, which render him the master of his work. Mr. Chapin' poem ponces much real worth, and will undoubtedly reclcve the recognition they justly merit. Mr. Chapin is a personal friend of Prof. R. A. Heritage of Willamette, having appeared in entertainments In the east together. It Is evident that he has before him a brilliant future, Mr. Chapin has beei. with Lei nndl'oncn, the world's greatest Imperson ator, and as he U jet a ery young man he bids fair to rank first. SURPRISE PARTY. A pleasant surprise party was tendered to George Sanderson lau Saturday evening at his home on North Cottage street. The event was very successful, as that young gentleman was taken completely by surprise, but soon recovered and entertained the young people In a royal manner. The evening was pleasantly spent in music, games and other amusements after which the participants were eived delicious refreshments. Those present were: Misses Maltie Hunt, AllieCroisan, Mamie Kundelelt, 'ula Hunt, l.innie Rundlett, Maud Hunt, Ernlly Thatcher, Lucia Cochran, and 1 Tattle Rund lett. Mesr Amo Crossan, Wm. Fiester, Ralph King, Clias. tllllinnham, Sam. Rnnd. leu, Fred liowersox and John Cochran. '1 he event was an Informal farewell to Mr. Sanderson. He expects to remove with his parents, In the near future to northern Call fornia there to reside His many blends In Salem regret to see him remove from their midst. THE MENS' LEAGUE. This prosperous Organisation of the First Presbyterian church, gave its regular monthly social In the church parlors last Tuesday evening. After the rendition ol a numb:r of songs the members engaged In a debate, tho subject under discussion being "The Annexa tion of Cuba.'The affirmative was represented by H. J. Rigger, P. H. Raymond and J. M Martin, while Rev. A. I Hnlcheson, John Moir Sr,, and J. A. Van Eaton read papers on the negative. '1 he judges rendered a decision in favor of the latter. At the conclusion of the debate light refreshments were served and a season of social tntercorsc enjoyed by all present. This organlration Is growing In numbers quite rapidly, having a membership of nearly a hundred and its influence is felt throughout the church. WHIST PLAVERS ENTERTAINED. On Tuesday evening the ladies of the Unity church entertained the ladies and gentlemen who participated In "Living Whist" as a token of their appreciation of their kindness In assisting on that occasion. A delicious luncheon was served them, and after a short social season dancing was indulged in until a late hour. Only a few were unable to le present and all united in the declaration that it was a most enjoyable event. The air of festivity was heightened by the dresses of the ladles, who wore the very becoming gowns In which they dressed lu "Living Whist." WILL RE RE-PRODUCED. Tho harvest home festival of "Ceres," written by Mrs. Olive S. England, and twice presented before a Salem audlene, the last time on Thanksgiving night, a year ago, will ere long be reproduced at Los Angeles, Mrs. England Is one of the women of which Oregon may well be proud. She has decided alent as a writer, and her "Ceres," as well Us several others of her productions have re. celved the commendation of able llterateurs and critics. OLD FOLKS' WHIST. The club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Eugene Ureymau, Mondoy night, with a full attendance, six tables being filled. There were no Invited guests. The first prizes were won by Mrs. Z. F. Moody and Mr. J. 0. Wright anu tlie "boobies" by Mrs. A. I. Wagner and Dr. Richaidson, The club will be entertained next Monday night by Judge and Mr. C. E, Wolverton, 1LLIHEE CLUI1. The club held Its regular meeting at the Hotel Willamette Tuesday evantng, but no important business was Wansacttd. Iiecruse of the failure of the present occupants of the upper story of the Burke block to vacate, the arrangements for commencing work on the' rooms are not completed. It Is probable that they will soon seek other apartments, when the rooms will be speedily fitted up, SURPRISED. Tuesday evening a large number of filends gathered for a surprise1 party In honor of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. McDonald, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Itanningboff, in East Salem. The evening was pleasantly pasted In games and dancing, and a delicious lunchion wassertcd. There were about thirty present. iSbeumatum la uvmntmn cf dlseaso!of the Kid neya.

Keep your feel still and never call attention to them by cross, mg vuui: knees and thriMling your leet for. ward.

We all know the girl who, when seated at the Ulnner table, will pick up her knire or foik and gently but unmistakably and to the an noyance of all drums against plate or ta ble until she is served and has something else to do. But the men nre fully as restless as the women. Not long since I saw an Illustration of that fact. It was In a street car. 1 he car stopped on the switch to wait for another one which was about three blocks distant. It was a raw cold day and every man shivered, then commenced tapping the floor with his feel. and some of them really "growled". Hut the women only shivered' The men need as many lessons as the women but as this Is a woman's page we cannot de vote too much time to the men. RUDE YOUNG WOMEN. "They are a set of girls for whom I have no use," said a young lady to a gentleman friend. "Why, they are very nice." he replied. "Never-lhe-less l have known them to be exceptionally rude to people whom they meet on tho stn.et." "What did they do?" he asked. "Did tbey make some remark audible to Ihe person ihey met?" "Ves." "Oh!" was the reply, "they do that with everyone." And yet he. said they were "nice." The girls In question weio very cood look ing, and they dressed richly but in good taste. Their parents were very wealthy, and they had every advatage of education and social standing, and should have been thorough ladies. Hut this one fault debarred them from a right to the appellation. They walk In droves on the street, without any regard to keeping step with each other. or the rights of other pedestrians. Many a time other women have been compelled to cct off the cross-walk in order to pass them at all It Is their practice to make remarks about the clothing or personal appearance of those they meet. Ihey care nothing about wounded feelings or disturbed tempers. In short, they are rude and unrefined, and evince a lack of home training and appreciation of true courtesy, though they are strictly up.to- date In all "society" usages. Yes they are society people, but to the credit of society In general be it known that they nre only toler ated, and are not popular nor generally nd. mired. KEEP TRYING. Do you ever try to talk about something you know nothing about? Well, don't. The result Is liable to be the same as ihouch you ed to stand on one foot In a wash bowl of water while you reach for a towel you will to slip. Silence is the best cloak for Ignorance. When yon do not understand a subject, just maintain a discrete silence, and no one will le certain whether ou are wise or not, Di n't call unnecessary attention to yourself, and the first opportunity you have, thoroughly Inform yourself upon the subject recently under discussion. That Is one of the best methods of Increasing your breadth of knowl edge. If you'll persevere in that practice you will not always find it necessary to keep quiet. There are few better qualities than that o perseverance, Hut sometimes It takes an un. pleasant form. For instance, a neighbor of ours for the past five months has been practic ing a certain tuno on his cornet, and he can't play it yet. He makes the very same mistake every time. It is growing exceedingly tiresome to hear It every day, but one can't help admiring his patience and perseverance, perhaps he'll get it peifect someday, but h surely won't if he says "I cant " Too often do we hear that declaration. Keep trying and every success will give you additional courage to combat and overcome the next obstacle, but every time you give up you render your nature just that much weaker and more vavcillatlng, and finally you abandon your efforts at the first difficulty encountered, and no progress Is ever made. A SALEM GIRL. The following Is a clipping from a Pullman, Wash., paper: The Aamold concert at the college chapel, last evening was a treat in a musical way, and lovers of violin music drank in the soul thrilling strains that Herr Aamold brought from that much abused Instrument. A fine audience greeted the participants and a more appreciative one uuld not have been gathered, There were eight njmbers on the program, each one being encored, but "Serenade," by the soprano soloist, Mils Etta Reamer, and Gypsy Legends" and "Yankee Dooale" with variations, by Herr Aamold, received a double encore. Tlie "Echo Song," violin ob ligato, wasa gem. This eminent violinist visited Pullman five years ago and formed some acquaintances while here that were re newed.
