The Railroad Commission.


The Plaindealorof last week contains
q communication from Hon. FL B.
Miller State senator from Josephine
county in which he complains bitterly
Of our criticism upon the Dill to estal,-
lish Railroad Commission IN this
State, Of which he is the author, To
the charge Of Ignorance of the subject
of railroad laws we have no answer TO
make, but beg leave to correct his state
ment that we said "the highest judicial
authority has decided that the states
have no right to delegate to a comniss-
ion the persons to regulate freights and
fares" What We did say was, that the
highest authority had not yet passed
upon that question and that it was still
in doubt. Mr.. Miller seems to think
that an act Of the Legislature is supreme,
and by section Of the same it can i'm
pess liability for damages upon rail
road company for which it is no wise
responsible. With such u profound
constitutional lawyer we admit our
legal inability to cope.
Our opposition to the bill was not
based upon its illegality, about which
we simply expressed our doubts. but
that we believe it contrary TO public
pelicy to pass such an act in Oregon al
this time. The establishment of rail
road commissions BY different states ma,
properly said to be an experiment, ane
sufficient time has not yet elapsed Il
determine the general utility Of such ;
law. In MASSACHUSETTS the law is sait
to have been productive of much good
while in California we know it to hay
been unmixed evil. 1t may be like tL
prescription Of the quack doctor whicl
cured an Englishman 5ut killed Gel
man. He interod in his book, 'sgoo
for Cornishmen but death on Dutch.
Such bill may be good in New Eng
land but our experience does not yo
justify introducing the prescription
west of the Rocky Mountains. Ml
Miller admits that his bill is NO
intended TO prevent the passage of on
fixing fares and freights, but as access
DRY thereto. It is then clearly unnec
essary at this time. Either the Jude
ary committee or a special committe
of beth houses can obtain during til
session all the facts that can be obtaine
by the commission in the next tw
years, and weald be fully able to fran
proper bill on this subject. Ills
what the people Of Oregon demand an
will be satisfied with nothing less; br
Miller's bill can sleep for two years,
not the sleep that knows no wakin:
As to the style Of Mr. ETiller's con
manieatlon we have nothing TO say, b.
when he says he notices our criticisl
because it comes from his portion
the State we beg to remind him tlls
he presumes too much upon residcne
the term Of which is so short as /
make it doubtful whether he is en-
titled to the seat lie now holds in tt
Senate. We now relegate Mr.. Mile
and his bill to the tender considerable
of tie legislature

Medical Legislation.

/ have before me a copy Of the bill !
introduced by Mr., Finn, in the House
Of Representatives, which IS bold
attempt to class legislation and SO die |
tatorial that deem it fitting to notice
few Of It's provisions f invests in |
the Governor a power satsersiye of
the rights Of every citizen Of our state
and which may at ang time Interfere
with tie grand ciyiet right Of choice Of
the class or school of physicians. It
provides for 4 State Medical Board OF
examiners to be appointed by the Gov
ernor, without any restrictions as to-
what school of medical men this hoard
is selected from, whether cal OF one
school, or whether from all the differ
ent schools Of medicine So the Gov
erner can appoint board Of eclectic
physicians, orif he chose, he can al,-
point a homeopathic board, and give
then unlimited power over every other
school Of medicine. But tie. true in
tent Of the bill, is to give the old''regu-
lar" school full and complete control
of all the medical practice of the state.
The Boards appointed, has full power
to pass upon the qualification of ali who
are not graduates, except si,oae who
have been in practice ten years, who
are to be licensed whether they know
any thing or not. The Board is re-
! qairea to grant licenses to practice med
icine to all graduates oflegally chartered
medical colleges; Provided: the colleges
granting sueh.diplomas are, in the eyes
Of the examining board, in good stand

TURBULENT HORIZONS.
An Outbreak Feared, and United State.
IroOps Ordered to Salt Lake CITY.


Troops ordered to Salt Lake City.
\ Salt Lake dispatch of the 5th
inst, says: The citvis full OF rumors
to-day of Mormon secret meetings.
storage OF arms, and the movement OF
United States troops. 1t is pretty
well settled that company OF soldiers
from Fort Douglas will picket the city
to guard against disorder and to pro-
teCt life and property. A battery OF
artillery from Nebraska is said to be
on its way here. Crowds of Mormon
men in the temple block, this after
noon, caused the starting OF some wild
rumOrs, but it Is now thought no sig
nltiCance could beattached to it. The
firing OF salutes to the memory OF Vice
President Hendricks, at Ft. Douglass,
set the city on edge till the cause was
understood" An Omaha dispatch of
the same date says: Late last night
1t became known that mysterious or
ders had been received at military
headquarters here, Department of the
Platte. Gen. Howard, commanding
officer, was out ofthe city on lecturing
tour, but was telegraphed for and re-
turned at O'Clock this morning. He
refuses to give definite information on
the orders. 1t Is learned, however,
that Battery B, from Fort Omaha,
was ordered to Fort Douglass, Utah,
at once. They left at 2 this after
noon. 1t is understood, also, that all
troops in the department have been
ordered IN readiness for movement at
q moments notice. From the fact
that the troops are bound for Utah,
the general impression prevails that
Mormon troubles are expected, but OF
exactly what nature all efforts have
failed to disclose. One theory is that
an outbreak OF some kind is feared
from secret information in the posses
sion OF the government. Another is
that the Presidents s message will con-
tain expressions on Mormonism which
may create a disturbance. As there
are no Indian troubles in the section
to which the troops have been ordered,
conjecture on the Mormon question is
the only reasonebleth theory advanced"

MlLWAUkEE'S LOSS.
Two OF Milwaukee's Large FIGURING Mills
Burned to the Ground-A Terrific Ex-
piosion of Flour Dust MansIes Four
Firemen-The Heaviest Loss of the
Year.

At an early hour on the morning
OF the 8th inst Milwaukee was
visited by the most disastrous
contiagration that has occurred
IN that city since the Chap
man fire in October last year. Two
OF the Oldest and finest flour.
ing. mills in the Northwest the
Daisy and Empire, located between
Commerce Street and the old canal
bed Immediately north of Poplar
Street, are now blackened ruins. The
Daisy Mill is a total loss and the
Empire Mill nearly so. Soon after
the discovery of the fire terrific ex-
pioslon OF flour dust occurred in the
top floor OF the Daisy mill, wrecking
the building and seriously if not fatal
ly injuring four firemen. The entire
fre department and all the available
men on the police force were. called
out, but both buildings were totally
destroyed With their stocks and ma
chlnery. The owners of the Empire
Mill, S. II. Seamans & Co., estimate
their loss at SS5, 900. The Daisy was
owned by Edward Sanderson and E.
P. Allis, who place their loss at about
100000. There was S85, 900 insur-
ance on the two mills.

The Mikado's Trademark.

Ever see any japanese money ?"
said an antiquarian the other day.
"Here's some Of the modern pieces.
Their coins used to be oblong and oval
strips OF gold ana silver, with charac-
ters stamped into them, but the Japs
are getting civilized fast, and their
modern coins are struck from dies,
like ours. You see that the reverse OF
each piece has a chrysanthemum, in
relief. That's the mikadO's trade,
mark or totem. They say that all his
private belongings are stamped or en-
broidered with it The Tycoon OF
Japan las three malloW leaves for his
private mark. The interest in those
things lies IN their descent from q for
mer condition of barbarism or savage
ry, when men made their signatures
with 'totems, or attempted likenesses
of natural objects. Even to this day
the Indian chief signs his name with a
picture of q turtle or buffalo, or snake,
or some such animal, and Sitting
Bulls autograph is q sketch Of bull
squatting on his launches. Indians
are named from some object or event
conspicuous at the time OF their birth,
so | suppose an old bull was resting
his rump on the sage brush when Sit
ting Bull made his appearance in the
world. The Japs have grown away
from the barbarism that would use
the picture OF an animal for a totem
They are an artistic people, and fow-
ers are prettier than bulls and snakes. J"

The Wllds Of Texas.

The progress OF civilization has sad
" reduced the Robin Hood romance
OF the good old times when every wood
was a hunting ground; but the Ruskin-
ties who go into mourning at the COM
pletion of every railroad might dry
their eyes IN Texas. Culture, writes a
correspondent III the December South
ern Bivouac, can progress under full
steam for a good many years before
it will spoil such Arcadias as the
chapperal country between the sources
of the Colorado and the mouth OF rhe
Rio Grande-the parklike uplands,
where the children OF a million set
tiers would find as much playroom as
q caravan OF kids in the bluegrass
counties. Soldiers who have revisited
the battle-grounds OF the wilderness
may remember how strangely foot
trails lose themselves in the junglelike
pine thickets screening the road at
every turn and hiding the hunters
dog from the hunter; and IN the same
way the lines OF the international
Railroad" cross the wilderness of
| Southern Texas Halfa mile from the
track one may find sleepy hollows
that seem never to have been walked
by the scream of the iron horse; hill
pastures where the antelope browses
as quietly as on the highlands OF the
Sierra Madre, even while the rocks
echo the thunder OF a train rushing by
on its way to the distant station.
And in the hills Of the uplands there
are rocks that have never heard that
echo. Between San Saba and Fort
Davis an area exceeding that of all
Tennessee, has never grieved the souls
OF its teamsters by a railroad survey.
The northern part OF this reservation
contains one of the few remaining buf-
falo pastures on this side OF the Rocky
Mountains. A few miles northeast of
Fort ConchO the old military road to
New Mexico crosses the mesquite plain,
and teamsters who travel that raod
in winter time are pretty sure to sigh
bulfalos. Not in herds; the bison
legiOns Of the North American prairies
are vanished forever: but troops of
ten or twelve are still occasionally
seen in the upland valleys, especially
after a hard frost. In spring these
survivors of better times take refuge
in the dreary borderlands Of the Staked
Plains, where they separate pair wise
Orgreater security, and retreat further
hillward at the least sign OF danger.

At ET AGAIN.
The Mormons 1T Salt Lake City Using New
WeaUoDs.

A Salt Lake dispa ch OF the 7th
inst, says: ''The arrest. conviction
and Imprisonment of Mormon leaders
for polygamy have not onlyroused the
Mormons to great Indignation and re-
vengeful bitterness, but have caused
them to retaliate by importing prosti-
tutes from San Francisco and Denver.
and using these women to entrap fed
eral officers and prominent Gentiles.
In this city they have been PARTIALLY
successful, having caused a few arrests
OF officials and Gentiles. One deputy
United States marshal was arrested
for fornication under the city charter
He was taken from the custody OF
the city authorities by writ OF ha-
beas corpus by United States author
tiles, who declared the city ordi-
nance invalid, because 1t exceeded the
authority granted by the legislature
The other night another deputy.mar-
shall was assaulted by what he called
four Mormon assassins, one OF whom
he dangerously shot. The Mormons
and their papers denounce the shoot
Ing as the act OF an assassin, who
made the first assault, and the Nor
mon press is calling for blood atone
ment. These are the causes that
make Salt Lake a volcano to-day, la
bic TO break forth at any moment.
Threats have been made that the sn-
tire Gentle population will be cleaned
out, and excitement and tsar are in-
reasing from day to day"

~ 4 TENEMENT,
Twelve People Cremated in "A Rookery at

A"eINe fsOple Srelnat"d IN n RooEery at

At Plymouth, Eng, on the 18th, a
tenement house on Love Street. IN a
low and squalid neighborhood. took
fire, and terrible calamity resulted.
The flames burnedrapidly and fercely.
and when at last subdued twelve hu-
man bodies were found among the
ruins. Two others are missing, and in
all probability they, too, have been
burned to death. One unfortunate
victim was smashed to pieces by lump.
ing from high window to the street.
Several or the occupants OF the build
ing, in their fright, ignored the fire
escapes, ana throwing bedding to the
pavement forty feet below, Jumped
from windows. A number of these
had legs and arms broken by the fear
tul leap. A narrowing incident of the
calamity, was the appearance OF a
youth named BickfOrd, who, with his
little sister in one arm, hung
from q window by the other for some
minutes, until the flames surrounded
HIM and caused him to lose his hold
and fail to the ground He had both
legs fractured. The child was also Sc
verely injured. The intensity OF the
flames gave the building the appear
ance OF a furnace, but this did not de-
ter the tiremen, many OF whom entered
the house and by a heroic struggle sue
ceeded IN reSCuing several persons
