IT is 70 be hoped that the magnificent
monument TO General Washington at the
national capital, and the imposing cere-
mouies with which it was dedicated to day,
and the Immense throng from all parts OF
the laud 10y whom those ceremonies were
Witnessed, may be the means of revivlng In
the memory Of the people of the whole
country the debt they owe Virginia tor
producing man worthy of 80 much national
honor and respect. General Washington
was essentially Virglnian, and during the
whole of his life there was not moment
of it in which he was not u loyal son OF bis
State, though be Is justly called the father
of his country The nation is indebted to
Virginia for many blessings, both in men
and measures, but the greatest of all the
blessings it ever received, from mortal
sources. was bestowed by Virginia when she
gave it her Washington.

MAINE Is prohibition State. But that
it is only so in name is proved by the fact
that last year the United States internal
revenue agents there sold 1,O46 stamps to
retail liquor dealers, all the counties in the
State having bought some and one as many
as 25S. But this, by no means, includes all
the liquor dealers, for no one can tell how
many sold liquor without stamps. The
anmDer of committals there not arrests, for
drunk enness during the year was in excess
OF 1900. The Maine law is effective only
in theory. This is free country; its people,
provided they have the requisite
can not be prevented from eating
and drinking what they like.

eur Legislators pass some law that will
prevent this villainy? 1t cannot be
done in New York, Pennsylvanis, Mis-
souri, or other states where large COM
mercisl interests prevail, and our own
state is entitled to some legislative con-
sideration for those who honestly give
credit to merchants in the retail line as
well as to others in different lines of
business. Why not then allow any
creditor TO attack an assignment that
he knows to be fraudulent by going
into courts an interested party, will
ing and able to prove the fraud? If the
members of the legislature only knew
the perfect disgust that honest dealers
felt for laws that not only permitted, but
authorized these constantly recurring
rascally transactions they would act in
some specific way to prevent it. Could
they know the exultation of these vile
wretches, when they see the disappoint-
ment of men who have honestly cred
| tied these professional thieves and find
they have bilked them of their debt in
a regular confidence game, they would
unanimously pass some law under con-
stitutional restriction, that would in
hibit such nelarious practice.
The HERALD sees no reason why an
other bill should not be formulated at
this session to stop and prevent this vile
practice of collusion in assignment.
The head of the tape worm disorder is
in allowing priority of assignment. If
the senate and house think the bank
ruptcy clause in the constitution of the
United States prohibits a general insol-
vency law, let them at least look at the
legislation of other states that have ae-
complished the result sought by other
means. Let them give the right to other
creditors than the attaching creditor
tho right to show up the collision.
Business men are now simply Disguised.
The attachment law is acknowledgly
faulty az it now stands. 1t enables col
luding creditors TO cheat other cred
itors; it enables debtors through that
means to secrete their assets, and il
gives the worst men the best chance to
get their debts. If any more deplorable
results could be had through the inter-
venlion of existing laws, let the legisla-
ture name them, but if there be any way
of avoiding what is universally acknowl-
edged to be legal assistance to fraud,
let the honest members put their heads
together in an honest endeavor to pass
an amending bill that will secure the
desired reform.

OREGON'S OWN OLD ODIUlL
CIPHER DISPATCHES REVIVED.
They arc Discovered in the Senatorial
Contest-The Illinois situation I'm.

yeston's Politicians.
Illinois s.natorship.

SPRINGFIELD, Feb. 10.-At noon a
vote for United States senator was
taken in joint ballot, resulting as fol-
lows: John A. Logan, Republican, l0O;
w. II. Morrison. Democrat, 81; Il. NJ.
Haines, Democrat, 4; scattering, g..
Total, 2O4
The house then proceeded to take an
other ballot.
Representative O'Shea, Democrat, of
Cook county, said he wished u explain
his vote. Coming from u constituency
largely interested in iron manufacture
his constituents felt that Mr.. Muni-
sons policy was detrimental to their in.
terests, and he must vote for Mr..
Haines, while he personally felt very
kindly toward Mr.. Morrison.
Mr.. Sittig, OF Cook county, in record.
ing his vote, said he could not vote for
Logan under existing circumstances
and in lengthy speech explained his
position. He voted for Shuuack.
The second and third ballots wer
without change, and the joint sessio 1
adjourned.

TAYLoR'S ATTACHMENT BILL DE,
FEATED,

The attachment law amendment
known as the TAYLOR bill, has been de-
feated In the house. Whilst there were
some Objectionable features in tho bill,
principally as to the manner of execut-
ing the law, II was In me main good law
~ proposed, aud would have been in
iinitely preferable to the present statute
on the subject, The Intervention clause
was unfortunate In making the bill
cumbersome and not only expensive,
but even impracticablo in carrying II
into use. Tho lawyers might have
reaped golden harvests from its adop-
ton, but 1t Is n singular fact TO some
tnat they, asa class, were opposed to II
Tor that very reason. Yet, its great aud
leading prmcinle was correct, aud II Is
to be hoped that Legislature devoted to
the interests OF the people at large will
not fail to sea the necessity of some ac-
ton In the matter of change OF tho
present attachment law. Texas wants
a niche In the temple of commercial
honor.
Under our prosout system the falling
party, or the party desiring 10 TAIL, full
handed, can assign to any colluding
creditor or supposititious creditor, aud
no other genuine creditor can attacKthe
assignment. Every one who has eyes
aud ordinary intelligence can see that
this is being done every day. Cannot

they forget this country was constitu-

posed to be devoted to the interests oil
that country. The Anglo Saxon mind
prevails here and will continue to rule,
nor will the great republic be made a

games of European origin can be played

Mr.. PALMER, OF Michigan, introduced
u bill into the United States senate set
ting apart the unsurveyed marsh lands,
known as the st. Clair flats, in that
state, as a hunting and fishing reservs-
ton for the people of the United States.
It should have read, for the benefit of
the rich people Of Michigan. If the
people of the United States living in
Florida, Louisiana and other states
want to hunt and fish on swamp lands
they can find them at home. 1t is said
these same st. Clair flats are becoming
valuable as marshes for the production
OF cranberries.
