THE oREGoNIAN AND BCLLf-rrs.

It is interesting to witsess the con-
test being waged between the Orege-
nian and Bulletin The former is
struggling hard to regain its lost pres
tige as the leading Republican jour-
nal of the State, but its struggle is
vain. Two weeks ago we took occa-
sion to admonish the Oregonia,s to
prepare its stomach for digestion of
crow Instead of needing our timely
counsel it continues making wry faces
and insisting upon its righs to choose
its own diet. Meanwhile the BuNe-
tin continues to assert its assumed pre-
rogative of acting censor for the Or
egonia1a in manner really refresh
ing. The Bulletin has decidedly the.
advantage in the contest, because its
utterances are known to be echoes of
the mandates of Mr. Holladay, which
no Republican politician dare disobey
or treat other than respectfully
There are few old line Republicans
who sympathize with the Oregoniau,
but they have been showed into the
back ground by new accessions, like
the editor of the Bulletin, and have no
influence in the party. The present
editor of the Oregomina has moi, kept
pace with the changes which have
taken place in his party within the
last few years. He has not yet
learned that in Oregon what was once
called the Republican party is now
the EEolladay party, and throughout
the nation it is entitled to no more
honorable name than the Grant party.
It has become sort of city of refuge
for political outlaws and refugees, and
thet class of men have complete con-
trol Of its management. The editor
of the. Oregoaaiaae exhibits hinsself as a
novice in politics when he Iattempts
to be an independent man and at the
same time belong to what is called
the Republican party. If he aspires
10 become journalist worthy of the
name, let him repudiate the personal
party" in which he is striving to gain
a footing and come out on the side OF
the people whose cause he pretended
to advocate during the late Senatorial
contest To remain where he is, is to
play second to Mr.. Holiday. There
is no avoiding it.

DEATH OF SEWARD.

VIM. II. Seward died at his home
in Auburn, New York, on last Fri
day. He was born in Florida, Or
ange county New York, May 1G,
1901; graduated at Union College in
1920; studied law and was admitted
to the bar in 1872, and settled at Au-
burn in 1923. In 1880 ne was elect
ed to the State Senate for four years;
in 1884, as Whig, he was the unsuc-
cessful candidate for Governor of the
State; in 1888 he was re-nominated
and elected for two years; was also
reelected for two years, and in 1913
he resumed the practice of his pro-
fession at Auburn, attending to busi-
ness chiefly in the Federal courts. In
1S49 he was chosen Senator in Con-
gress. from New York, for six years,
and took his seat at the extra session
called to consider the nomination of
President Taylor. He was reelected
in 1855 and held the position until he
became Secretary of State, under
President Lincoln, in 1861. He re-
tanned the Office of Secretary of State
until the close of Andrew Johnson's
term, who became President at the
death of Lincoln. After retiring
from Office Mr.. Seward made an ex-
tended tour of this continent, passing
through this State on his way to Alas
ka and returning east through Califor-
MIA and Mexico. In 1870 heagain set
out and made journey round the
globe. Since his return he has been
engaged writing history of his trav-
els, his observation OIL the forms OF
the governments he visited.
No man in America during the
present generation has welded a
greater influence m shaping the des-
tiny of the nation than William III.
Seward. During his premiership
with Lincoln and Johnson he was
"thc power behind the thrown and
won for himself the title of the erich
eleau of America" His life record is
made and he has paid the last great
debt of nature. Let him rest.

nucLE NOTES OF THE CAMPAIGN.
VI. V. IS.

Grant has accepted gifts, and re-
warded the givers with Office.
Grant has ostracised every public
man who had the independence and
the manliness to differ from him.
Grant has set himself up for a
second term in an Office which he
must know, and which he half con-
fesses, that he is unsuited for.
Grant has tampered with tho indie
psndsnce and integrity il Congress,
by personally soliciting members to
his San Domingo scheme.
Grant has employed the army to
do the work Of tho constable, and has
suspended the writ of haJeas corpus
in time OF profond peace.
Grant has upheld the infamous
carpet-bagging rule in the Southern
States, and thereby impoverished the
white people of that section.
Grant has shamefully abused the
appointing power, by selecting for
his cabinet the commonest of men,
whose names-spelt by the un-
ettered muse-had else remained
unknown.
Arkansas is still in turmoil. A
dispatch says the greatest terror ex-
lists in Oceola, Arkansas, among citi-
zens fleeing with their families in an
ticipation of another attack from ne
groes. No further bloodshed is re-
orted. The whites of several villa
ges are under arms with approaches
guarded. ''Let us have peace"
The Democratic National execu-
tive committee held q conference in
New York City on last Monday.
Dispatches state that there were
present: A lumber of leading
Democrats, including Samuel j.
Tilden and Senator Fenton, of New
York; VIM, T. Phillips, of Illinois
Gen. V. McCook and Brinkerhoff, oi
Ohio; John A. Finch and Mr.. Dowl
ing, of Indiana. Reports were made
OF a very encouraging character as tc
the canvass in different States, and
it is announced that the campaign
will now be prosecuted with renewed
energy.

THE WILLAMETTE LOCKS.

Hon. w. w. Bristow, from the
Joint Committee appointed to exam
inc the Canal and Locks at Oregon
City, thus describes that work in the
Committees report. "The stone
work of the locks is of very heavy
and durable character, being built of
very heavy stones, mostly brought
from quarries on the Clackamas river,
some ten miles from the canal, though
some small portion of the stone work
has been made from quarry at the
lower end of the canal. The entrance
at the lower end of The CANALS 100 feet
in length below the lower gate, and
when finished will be seven feet be-
low low water mark in the river at
that place. There are five locks in
all, each of which is 2l9 feet in length
by 40 feet in width. The lower one
is 80 feet in depth; the second one is
80 feet; the third one is 20 feet; the
fourth one Is 10 feet in depth; the up
per or guard lock is 1,20O feet above
The forth ono and is also 10 feet deep.
The third, fourth and fifth locks are
built partly, and the last named al
most wholly of solid masonry, the
hollow quions being supported by
counterforts Of solid masonry 12x15
feet at the top and 16x23 feet on the
bedrock. Tho breast walls are built
of very heavy stones, six feet long in
the middle Of the arch, and decreases
at the hollow quoins where they rest
against the natural walls of the canal
or counterforts to three and four feet
in thickness and one Of sufficient
strength TO resist any pressure OF
water when the gates are closed, how
ever great it may be. The division
or section canals between the fourth
and guard lock has solid founda-
ton built of stone on the bed rock
and rising to within one foot of the
bottom OF the chanal, on which is to
be built timber works and securely
fastened by iron rods to the bed rock,
the rods to be iusertd two feet deep,
the lower end being split and an iron
wedge inserted, securely fastening the
same when driven To the bottom OF
the hole drilled in the rock for that
purpose. The timber work is to be
| faced on the canal side with four inch
and on the river side with three inch
plank, and inside, of the crib. is TO be
filled with stono from the work.
The upper and last section of 1000
feet in length above the guard lock,
is nearly completed, and is built of
timber as just described, and is built
in various sections, with different
angles, so as TO be on the best found
alton and give the greatest resistance
to water. The upper portion of this
about 400 feet, forms kind of basin
at the upper and lower end of the
canal, is nearly completed. The engin-
eer employed on the work seems con
fident that he will complete all the
work above the fourth lock by the
first of next month, and complete the
locks by the first Of January.

Salem had fairly eclipsed herself in

ful capital city may well be proud of
this demonstration.

SALEM, Oct. II.
Among the few public measures of
n considerable nature passed by this
session is ono providing for uniform
system of public instruction in the
common schools of this State. The
bill p: Divides for the Office of State
Superintendent of Common Schools
who shall he elected every four years,
rs other State officers. The first one,
however, under the operations Of this
law, is to be elected in jeint Legisla-
tive Assembly of this session. His
Office is to be at the State Capital and
his salary fifteen hundred dollars. -
1t provides for the levying of three
mills on the dollar for school purpos-
es, and appears to be fully explicit as
to the judicious expenditure Of the
educational fund of the State. The
bill may have Objectionable features,
but believe the good to result from
its operations will moro than off.
set any Objectionable features of its
provisions.
A day and half has now been oc.
cupiod by the House in discussion
upon tho proposed amendments to
the Lock Bill, and it has been again
materially amended. The price to bo
paid is now $4,000 per year for
twelve years, instead of $4,000, as
heretofore proposed. The bill comes
up for final action in the House this
morning, and there il but little doubt
OF its passage. 1t will probably meet
with similarly favorable reception
in the Senate. and now have but
very little doubt of its ultimate pass.
age.
The Senate has adopted joint res.
olution to adjourn sine die on next
Saturday night, Mt midnight, but the
House has not yet concurrcd in its
action. There is no doubt but an ef-
| fort will be made TO hold over for
several days longer but the friends OF
the people will have nothing TO lose
and everything to gain by an early
adjournment.
The Senate last night PASSED the
I'LL to repeal the Litigaut Act. The
vote stood II ayes to 10 noes-all the
Democrats voting against its repeal
save Fay, who voted with the Rcpub-
licans. AS the courts of California
where a similar bill 10 this one has
been in opera.ion-have decided that
the Governors appointment OF liti-
CANT organ holds good during his
term OF Office, Notwithstanding the
repeal of the act, of course such re-
peal will not materially alter the
status of affairs in regard TO legal pub
lica,ions. So long rs this question is
pending no lawyer will jeopardize his
clients rights BY publishing notices in
any but the recognized legal organ.
AS the session draws TO n close
every available hour is put in by both
houses, and the Legislative wheels
spin with lightning velocity. But
Notwithstanding the celebrity of leg
islation it is now potable that many
speculative jobs aud filching measures
will fail to reach final vote in both
houses. The hope of the people is in
speedy adjournment and Democrat
ic members seem determined that
such shall be the case.

THE Presidential election does not
as is popularity supposed take place
in all the States on the same day. In
Louisiana it occurs on the 4th of No
vember and in Texas on the 5th, 9th,

these elections being under special
acts of Congress. In all the other
States the election is held on the 5th
of November.
