The Beeeher Case.

\ special dispatch to the Kansas
City journal lives the following &C
count of the closing scenes in the
Beecher case: When the senate
went into executive session at noon
today. Mr.. Mitchell, OF Oregon. called
up tho nomination OF Herbert F.
Beecher, which was discussed for
three hours on Saturday last. Mr..
Hoar moved 10 lay the report of the
committee on the table, which would
have had the effect 10 postpone action
on the nomination Indefinitely. To
this Mr.. Vest and Mr.. Dolph OBJ
jectea, and it was voted down by 4
threefourthS majority. General
Hawley then said It was apparent to
him that the senate had determined
to reject BeeCher, and, as he thought
unjustly. To save the young man
from disgrace he asked that action
be postponed until he had an oppOr
tunity TO consult with the president
whom ho would advise to withdraw
the nomination. Mr.. Vest, who had
charge of the case. agreed, and Mr..
Hawiey went directly to the white
house. An hour later there came &
message withdrawing the nomination
-Four months ago the democratic
members of the commerce committee
advised the president to do this, and
he notified Henry Ward Beecher of
the fact. but the latter thought his
son could be confirmed, and begged
President Cleveland to stand by him.
Young Beecher. who HIS been here
for several weeks, and was hopeful
of confirmation. is now pretty badly

The Demagogues' Triumph.
MglIn Mnllu Eninrl

N4l!i Naila HfoTrI
As the St Paul Pioneer Press, and
all sensible people view it. the vote
of the lower House upon the North
ern Pacific forfeiture bill illustrates
an old and familiar trick OF legisla-
tive demagogy. There was not a
man who voted for the monstrous
proposition of this bill to contiscate
the greater part of the honestly earned
land grant of the Northern Pacific
who did not know that it meant the
absolute defeat of all forfeiture what
ever at this session of Congress. The
senate has passed a bill going farther
probably than strict justice would
approve in the direction of Northern
Pacific forfeiture At any rate, it
would have resumed the grant for
sEch portions OF the proposed line as
have never been completed. The
house knew that this was the maxi
mum limit of all that could be right
fully done. 1t knew that the senate
would defeat anything more radical.
Every lawyer in it knew that the
court would not sustain law forfeit
ing lands where the road was built
years ago, accepted by the govern
ment, and where patents were issued.
In a word every intelligent man in
the House knew that the House bill
involved legal enormity and a prac-
teal impossibility, yet four out of
five of them voted to substitute this
for the senate bill.
The meaning of this is that they
wanted to made record of fierce and
implacable hostility to railroad cor
porations by fayoring hostile legisla-
ton so extreme that it would defeat
itself, and thus make themselves solid
with the most radical phase of popu-
lar feeling against the railroad land
grants without doing any harm to the
corporation itself And yet, though
the voter has been befooled again and
again, time out of mind. by this trans
parent trick, he not only never gets
weary of being humbugged, but al
ways votes for the demagogue who
has played this game upon him, and
who promises to play it again in the
most radical and impossible legisla-
ton.

One Issue.
WaIla Walla T.Jo.

Waila Walla IHiOn.l
Congress adjourned without dis
posing of the forfeiture question, and
it Is, therefore, one of the issues in
the present campaign. The situa-
ton is very simple. The senate, by a
vote OF forty to one, passed a bill
declaring forfeited all lands cotermi
nous with those sections of the road
not finished at the date the bill be-
comes law. In other words, the
senate bill declared forfeited the
Wallula-Portland portion of the
grant and about seventy-five miles OF
the Cascade division. It also ex-
pressly declared that the passage of
the bill should not be construed to
prevent the forfeiture of any other
part of the grant, whenever Congress
should deem it advisable to do so.
The bill also repealed the sec.
ton of the granting act which
exempts the right of way from taxa
ton, and provided, in an ample man.
ner, for the protection of settlers on,
and claimants of, restored railroad
lands. The senate bill was satisfac--
tory to the anti-railroad cranks in
that body, but did not please the same
class in the House. The result was
that when the bill came up for con.
sideration, the House, by a big ma
jority, substituted its own bill which
provides for the forfeiture of all land
not earned before July 4, 1879. In
other words the House bill provides
for the return to the publ, domain
of all the odd sections in railroad
limits between Bismarck and Tacoma.
During the brief debate allowed in
the House, Delegate Voorhees, out
cranked the crankiest by declaring
for the forfeiture of all the grant not
earned by building road before July
4, 1877, or two years farther back
than any one else was willing to go.
Conference committees were appoint
ed but they did not even try to agree
and the bill went over until the next
session of Congress.
We judge by reading the speech
made by Delegate Voorhees, that
he intends to seek denomination and
re- election upon a platform endors-
ing the House bill. In our opinion
iho icpubllCGnS Will meet nlln Wlll q
platform endorsing the senate bill.
Mayhap they will go further and de-
clare in favor of the forfeiture of the
Wallula-Portland portion of the
grant and the issuing of patents for
lands coterminous with those por-
tlons of the road which are completed
at passage of the bill, upon the pay
ment within ninety days of the ascer-
tanned costs of surveying them. Such
platform would be in accord with
tile equities of the question of not
strictly according to the letter of the
granting act.
Washington Territory cannot afford
to be unjust in dealing with the
Northern Pacific 1t has almost
made it possible for the residents of
the eastern portion to exchange com
modities and visits with the residents
of the western portion without pay
ing tribute to Oregon, it has given
value to lands that had no value be
fore the road was built and has al
most relieved the people from the
exaet;ons of the o. r. Il y. Co.

greatly benefited by the Northern
Pacific that the hardships experienced
