refuse to agree to an arbitration. The
railroads refuse, it seems, because they
have nothing they want arbitrated. They
don't want to employ any OF the strikers
and hence have no differences with them.
If they wanted to re-employ them there
would then be some ground for demand

Washington Letter to tie Ipdi0aaDOljS Journ al.
Bishop" Oberlv is an en- ertaining talker,
and tells some funny stories. He says that
many years ago, when a Young man, he was
elected an ssemblyman in Illinois. He was
frightened when the time came for him to 90
to the capitol at Springfield. He feared that he
would be paled by the flashing OF bright i1tel-
lects all around him. He took his seat on the
first day IN fear and trembling, but in five
minutes he was put perfectly at ease and
mace to think that perhaps he might be
one OF those who would shine. This is what
wrought the change in his mind: "Mr Speak
err" said one Assemblvman, There is
no ink IN the inkstands." Young Oberly was
amazed. by gracious!' he thought. us this
TIE kind of timber they send here" Up rose
another Ascend vman, since famous as ''LOng

The bill making Washington Territory
a State passed the Senate yesterday. 1t
is probable that it will pass the House
without much delay. It will be somewhat
surprising ii Washington succeeds in
getting into the Union before Dakota,
However, the Dakota people nave them
selves to blame largely for their failure to
get admitted. In the first place, they had
some trouble about bonds which had TO be
settled before Congress would seriously
consider their application, and then they
got to quarreling about the division Of the
Territory. Dakota will be admitted in
good time, however.
One of the interesting features of the
debate on the Washington Dill was the
amendment offered by Senator Eustis,
which restricted the ballot to men. 1t is
well known women vote in Washing ton
Territory. Senator Eustis said that one
Of the strongest arguments in fayor Of
his amendment was the danger that If
women were permitted to vote woman
might be chosen Senator and that a
female Senator would quickly put an
end to secret sessions OF the Senate.
There was no possibility, he said, that a
woman, even though Senator. would OBJ
serve the injunction Of secrecy. He,
therefore, urged all who favored secret
sessions to vote for his amendment.
Senator Beck said that there was no
danger OF the election OF female senator,
because no woman would admit that she
had reached the age which the constitu-
ton requires for admission to the Senate.
However, Mr.. Eustis' amendment was
defeated, and II the Washington bill be-
comes law, women in that state will
have a voice in selecting the lawmakers.

A GOVERNMENT BY MAJoRITIEs

Our esteemed morning contemporary
is combating the idea that this is a
government by the majority, except
for certain purposes. There may be,
and are, a number of questions SO
hedged about by constitutional inhibi-
tons as to be without the reach of
the majority al the ballot box in the
ordinary way, but it was a majority
that so hcdged them about. In fact,
the organic law of the land is the
product of majority sentiment ex-
pressed by ballot, and therefore the
government is q government founded
by and subject to the will of the ma
jority. The people have an inherent
right to "alter" or "amend" or even
abolish" their constitution, according
to Mr.. Jefferson, and wherever there
is q constitutional impeachment in the
way of the accomplishment of any
purpose the people desire they can
undoubtedly remove that obstacle.
Property rights were not too sacred to
become the subject Of the "caprices"
of a majority when the slaves were to
be freed, and accordingly the people
OF large part of the Union rose in
their might and struck the shackles
from the colored race. The naked
truth is this government, whether in
its organic capacity or the exercise Of
legislative functions under the consti-
tuition, moves in obedience to the be-
hcsts of a majority. The great body
of the people are honest and seek the
highest good of the country, and it is
but natural that the evil disposed and
vicious of society should inveigh
against all efforts Of the majority to
purify public morals and elevate the
country by the elimination of those
influences and institutions which have
proved injurious to society, from the
body polite.

FIEL
THE PEOPLE AND THE CONGRESS
SIGNAL CANDIDATES.

The HERALD is glad to know that
Judge Abbott, the democratic nominee
for congress from this district has con-
Guided to meet Mr. Kearby on the
stump, and also to make few speeches
in Dallas county. The fact that MIR.
Kearby is running as an Independent
candidate and without convention
made platform, that one can read and
study and dissect at leisure, is no
reason for refusing to discuss with
him political questions, relating to the
duties of a congressman. We have all
long since learned just how far indi-
viduals and parties abide the formal
declarations of conventions. They do
not amount to a great deal after a
campaign has been fought and a vic
tory won, and are treated in pretty
much the same manner as worn out
garment. After all legislator must
have convictions of his own on the
great questions of the day-convic-
tons so deep and burning as to move
him to action as an individual, else he
will never act faithfully and well as
the agent and representative of a
party. Hence the reason the people
want to hear Judge Abbott speak.
They know quite well what the demo-
cratic party thinks upon the issues of
he times, so far as they have been able
to draw any conclusion from platform
utterances, but there is such wide
margin for differences of opinion with
in party lines nowadays, without for
feiting ones right to membership in
the party, that election to office by a
party by no means enables one to fore
tell the exact line of action the nOmi-
nee will pursue.
Then again Mr.. Kearby is about the
only opposition Judge Abbott has in
his race for congress. The democratic
party has selected him as its standard
bearer and it is his duty as good
democrat to meet all assaults upon
whether emanating from
parties or individuals. Judge Norton
is running as the republican nominee,
but the republican vote in the district
Is insignificant, and it is very probable
will be turned over to Mr.. Kearby on
election day.
