labor of getting the testimony In

under the personal direction Of Thos.

Sullivan's court. It Is stated that
Judge Sullivan devoted full month
to the writing of the decision. The
copy of the document which he read
from the bench was executed on the
type writer, and 1t was pronounced
one of the neatest pieces of work evel
done on that instrument.

part.

Hon. Sol. Hirscb, one Of the State
senator's from Multnomah county is an
ayowed candidate for the United States
Senate. The frau:ers of our state con-
stitution foresaw that evil and corrupt
ing influences would often be brought
to besr in the election of United States
Senators, and among others they sought
to remove one danger, which they had
seen other states the victim of. This
was the danger of legislature electing
one of its own members through various
promises of place and power. Hence,
they wisely placed the following inhibi-
ton in the constitution Of the state:
aNo Senator or representative shall,
during the time for which be may have
been elected. be eligible TO any Office,
the election to which is vested in the
legislative assembly; nor shall be ap-
pointed to any civil Office of profit which
shall have been created, or the emolu-
ments Of which zhali have been incrsas-
ed during such term, but this latter
provision shall not bs construed to
apply to any Office elective By the people.
(Sse Sec. 50 Art. w. It is said that
there is an inhibition in the oath OF cir
cult Judge which would render him ine-
hgible to the cfice of United State
Senator. and for that reason Judge
Boise whose friends will place him
in-the race, would be ineligible, but
those who urge Judge Boise's inelegi-
bility are misled as the inhibition re-
ferred to applies only to Judges of the
Supreme Court, and not to Circuit
Judges. But certainly no member of
the legislature is eligible If there be
any force in the constitutional Lroyi-
sion given above. The 0regonian, in
the interest Of Senator Hirscb, ESQ it is
said, construes the constitutional pro-
vision above quoted to include such
Offices only as may have been created
by the legislative aasenbly or the emol.
uments of which shall have been In
creased during such tenn. But such
construction is not justified either by
tho text or context, neither does COM
mon sense, analogy or precedent lead to
such construction.
We are sure the 0rezoaian, which
Is usually very good authority on con.
stitutional state questions, has Dot
duly considered the import Of the
kaboye provision, or it would never
have given the opinion above. True
the question is largely moral one,
as there is no penalty attached to the
violation of the oath, which all thl
members take, In case they should
in the face of this provision, elect on
of their own members TO the Unitet
!, States. Nor would the United State
; Senate, in admitting such senator
consider the ineligibility. as the
!, would determine the eligibility by tn
! provisions of the constitution and law
Iof the United States. Fhe question
: will be settled by each member deter
mining, whether, under his oath, b
can morally vote for a member ,
ii the body for United States senator.

RECIPROCITY.

Our Republican friends are taking
much interest in the subject Of reci-
prOcity treaties. They urge tie adOp-
tion Of the Spanish treaty, notably on
the ground that we need many of the
productions Of the West Indies, while
they need our corn, wheat, etc. Il Is
especially urged that this treaty should
be adopted for the reason that sugar
and tobacco will then be admitted duty
free into this country, which viii farn-
ish these articles to consumers here at
much cheaper rate than now. But
those who urge the adoption of this
treaty seem not to recognize the fact
that it is just as important to our peo-
pie to be supplied with cheap cotton
and woolen goods, as we'll a. iron, steel,
salt, coal, and many other Of the nsces-
saries Of life, as cheap sagsr and tobac-
90. They also >vidently ignore the
fact that the question of protection
enters with more or less force into the
constitution Of the treaty.
The adoption of the treaty will be ;
removal Of the tariff duties from sugar
and tobacco. While the Democratic
party is in favor of reduction Of tar.
if duties to that point in the scale Of
duties which viii produce only SUITE
cient amount of revenue to meet the
just and present demands OF govern
ment, Jet they viii enter their solemn
protest against making the reduction on
one or two articles. They opposed the
reduction on wool duties for this very
reason. This resort to reciprocity
treaties on the part of rrotectionists Is
an acknowledgment that protection for
projections sake must sooner or later
give way TO q tariff for revenue only.
The foundation principle of rsciproci-
ty treaty Is q proposition BY one nation
to remove duties from one or more
articles of import, provided that other
nation viii in return remove duties
which it has seen at to levy upon inn
ports. This calls ont all the charact-
eristics o. Discrimination, ,retAlitioa and
compromiss. It causes one nation to
say to another in self defense: "If you
discriminate against our productions
then We will retaliate By discriminating
against yours, but if you will remove
restrictions, then We will als1 do 30. /"
And this, if accepted, brings these two
nations to hes trade 50 far as those ar
ticles agreed upon il cansernsd. Thus
Republicans are trying TO do indirectly
what Democrats would do directly in
part.
