CONGRESSMAN.
TUESDAY, Jan. Is.

SENATE.-The senate at 1920 resumed
consideration of the tariff bill, the pend
ing question being on Sen. Vests amend
| ment to strike from the free list softer of
| roses" and substitute "salt." The de-
bate was continued at great length. The
discussion then drifted into a political
| vein. The bill was laid aside without a
vote on the pending amendment and af-
ter an executive session the senate ad-
burned.
HoUsE.-Mr. Springer, of Ill, called up
as special order the senate bill for the
admission of South Dakota and the Or
| ganization of the territory of North Da-
kota. The bill having been read in full,
Mr.. Springer took thu floor in explana
| ton of the measure and in the advocacy
of the substitute 1.-THE omnibus billy -hich
he proposed to offer at the proper time.
He promised his remarks with the state
ment that he would endeavor to secure a
vote today. He sketched briefly the &C.
tion of the constitutional convention
held 10 Dakota Sept, '85, which had for
mulated a constitution for the state of
South Dakota. The constitution had
been submitted to the people and ratified
| by vote of $4,000 to 5000. The total
vote had only been 41,OOO, while at that
| time there we're $1,000 votes in the terri
tory. In view of the smallness of the
vote he insisted that Justice to the people
of Dakota required that anew cow ention
should be held. Mr.. Grifford, of Dakota,
defended the constitution adopted by
the constitutional convention of Dakota
from the criticism advanced by Mr..
Springer. The people of South Dakota
were satisfied with it. The people of
Dakota wanted no further vote on the
question of division. They would never
accept of the admission of Dakota as one
state.
WEDNESDAY Jan. 16.
SENATE.-The presidents two messages
in regard to affairs in Samoa and Hayti
were laid before the senate ana referred,
with the accompanying documents, to
the committee on foreign relations. Sen.
Cullom presented memorial of the
Woman's National Christian Temperance
Union, of Illinois, and other bodies, in
favor OF the legislation for Sabbath OBJ
servence, against the running of inter
state Sunday trains and against military
drills on Sunday. This and many similar
memorials from other states, which were
presented by various senators, were re-
ferred to the committee on education and
labor. Sen. Platt also presented copy
of the proceedings of the sta school con-
vention held in North Dakota in favor
of the division of that territory and the
admission of North Dakota as state. At
l O'Clock the senate resumed considera-
ton of the tariff bill.
HoUsE.-After routine business the
house resumed consideration Of the ter
ritorial bills, and was addressed by Mr..
Joseph, of New Mexico, who presented
the claims of that territory for admission
into the union. Mr.. Struble, of Iowa, OPP
posed the admission of New Mexico,
: saying that large proportion of the in
habitants of the territory were unable to
understand the English language, and
contended that until these people came

DOES the constitution of the United
States need modification in any direc-
tionP was tho question put by the New
York Independent TO various men whose
standing is warrant for the value of their
views. Elk President Hayes believes thst
''the one practicable and important
amendment to the constitution is to fix
the term of the president at six years
and to make him ineligible for a second
term" The venerable George Bancroft
wrote: 81 have your letter asking what
changes had better be made in the CON
stitution. | know of none; if any change
is needed, it is in ourselves that we may
more and more respect that tody of
primal law" That is the voice of states
menship and patriotism. 1t Is echoed
by Justice Bradley of the supreme court,
who said: II think it a most happy ar
rangement that sudden whiffs and gusts
of popular feeling are not always able to
execute and carry oEt the rash purposes
with which they are inspired" Justice
Gray voices the same sound conservatism
81 am so old fashioned as to think that
the constitution, administered according
to its letter and spirit. is well enough as
it is. And | am of the opiuion of the
late Gov. Andrew, that it is not desirable
to Mexicanize our government by pro-
posing constitutional amendments as
often as there is a disturbance in its
practical working" Justice Blatchford
also writes: ~ am satisfied with the con
stitution as it is. It cannot be bettered
Constitution thinkers are in poor bust
ness. If there are ills, It is better TO bear
them than to fly to others that we know
not off,"

MCMinnville People Looking for a
Route to Salem and the Sea.

The McMinnville Register says
the initials heading this article
mean the Salem, McMinnville &
Astoria Railroad.
That paper says that: "Several
prominent men of Salem are inter-
ested in a road to Astoria, and are at
present making plans for its con-
structiOn. During the meeting of
the legislature several of our busi-
ness men were in Salem and were
interviewed by the projectors of the
road to see what could be done to-
ward making McMinnville "a point
on the road. They were informed
that McMinnville people were pro-
gressive and were on the lookout for
all such schemes but just at present
were engaged in several other
schemes. They were Immediately
Informed that it did not require
cash but if the right of way would
be secured by this city, in this vicin-
ity, it would be all that would be
asked. The projectors of the road
want it to cross the S. p. lines at
this city and then take the Nehalem
Pass for Astoria. We would advise
our business men or board of trade
to open correspondence with these
gentlemen of Salem and see what
can be done toward making the
road pass through this city. 1t is
certainly fair offer, to secure the
right of way for it.n

MistOOk His own Identity.

One day, not long ago, II tall, slim
gentleman, whose whiskers hung
in modest drapery DER his shirt front
and waXed themselves to point,
called at this fount of knowledge
and introduced himself as Mr.
editor of the Roseburg Review. AS
we knew 1t could not be Bro. Bell,
grown so slim, and in such very
short time, too, we laughed and
he laughed, aud corrected himself.
He couldn't see why he should have
said Review when he meant Plain
dealer, The joke was on him and 1t
ia over this that Brother Bell and
Benjamin are at war. So mote 1t be.

Where Tney are From.

Judge Bellinger, speaking of the
rapidly increadlng immigration tC
Oregon and the coast, said that q
majority of those coming in now
were from Kansas. The reason he
assigns for the Kansans leaving their
state is that through successive fail
ures of crops the farmers have be-
come discouraged and made a
determination to seek some country
where an existence might be had
with less harhships. A good many
Of the newcomers are from Dakota,
Minnesota and Nebraska, while the
states far to the south and east fur
nish their quota of home-seekers.

THE SUBSIDY RAISED.
The $4,000 Bonus is Sub
SCribed in Full.
wOOLEN MILLS FOR SALEM.
Everything Is Now Ready, and the
Mills Will Be Built.

Yesterdays additions to the wool
en- mill subsidy raised it from $19,-
10 to $40, 9,18O, which left but $500
more to be raised.
To-day the members of the COM
mittee are using their endeavors to
complete the $4,000 and we have
assurance that success will be with
them. The amounts coming in
now, for the most part, are small,
but "many a nickel make a
muckle," so will small sums raise,the
total to the desired proportions.
AT three o'clock this afternoon the
committees were still making the
rounds, having but very few more
dollars to raise. Thus ends the big
subsidy, and thus do we announce
that Salem is to have woolen mills.
1t is not often a city like Salem
takes a notion to give $50 900 to
mandatory to locate within it's

this, let the news go forward that
the capital city is not without en-
terprise. Her citizens have the
greatest confidence in her future
and this Is sure tolmpress strangers.
1t commands them.
Speaking of this wooden mill sub
sidy, the Portland Telegram ed
itorially says: There is no doubt
now but the wooden mill at Salem
will be built and in operation before
many months. There lacks $1,000
of the $4,000 subsidy required by
the projectors, and that amount |
will be raised within a few days. |
A subsidy of $4,000 is a large one to
raise in a place like Salem, and the
fact that the people responded so
quickly and literally is indicative of
their thrift and enterprise. They
deserve to prosper.

How Is YOur Climatsp

That is what the man writing
from Dakota asks. He says he is
tired of living in a country where he
is subjected to allmanner of climatic
changes. We can answer him by
saying that Oregon has no cyclones,
no blizzards, no thunder, no light
ming, no cold winters, no hot
summers, no sun-strokes, no hot
nights in summer, no irrigation
needed, no failure of crops, no
scarcity of fuel, no drouths. grass
green all winter, no grasshoppers,
no chintz bugs, no potato bugs, no
hessian fly, finest fruits in the
would, largest strawberries and
cherries, mountain streams filled
with trout and according to the
U. S. census reports is the healthiest
state in the Union.

The License Is un.

Previous to this time saloon
licenses in Salem have been $3.50 a
year, but when the saloon.
keepers applied for a renewal yester-
day, it was found that the new city
charter, passed by the last legisla-
ture, provides that no license be less
than that provided by the state law,
which is S4OO. The additional Ii
cense will have no effect on decreas-
ing the number of saloons.
