The Senatorial drawing for terms
took place in Washington "Wednesday.
\ dispatch states that the draw was
first for tie order for precedence by
States, and Senators. Allen, Casey and
Moody, for the three States, drew slips
of paper from ballot box. Allen got
No. /, so Washington is the thirty
ninth; Moody got No. ., giving South
Dakota the fortieth place. and Casey's
luck gave North Dakota the forty
first place. That leaves Montana for
the baby State. Washington WAS ac-
cordlngly the first to settle on the
length OF terms, and there were slips
OF paper representing four and
two-year term put in the box, Allen
drew first and got the four-year term,
leaving Squire with but two years to
serve his State. South Dakota came
next with chance at two and a quar-
ter and six-year term. Pettigrew
drew the six-year slip. Judge Moody
got No. 3, and so has only two-year
term. North Dakota also had chance
at the three classes, but no six-year
term was in the box for them. Casey
got a iour-year term and Pierce a two
year term. With this distribution
Montana will have chance for a six
yoar term whenever two Senators from
that State are elected

ONE of our Republican morning
contemporaries reads the Washington
Legislature lecture upon the topic OF
Extravaganza" which will not be
needed. The assembly at Olympia is
plunging as headlong into the vertex
of waste rs did the last Salem session.
" Clerk HRS cost Oregon $4,000 for
the last session and the work could
have been done for half that amount"
says the Oregonian. Take as a prece-
dent" Washington legislators may
claim the right to expend $4,000 for
similar service; because Washington
is now a great State, and " so strongly
Republican rs to defy the Democracy.
Besides, partisans must be paid.
There is not patriotism without plum
der in the grand old party."-Port-
land World.

A WASHINGTON dispatch of Monday
says: The flag which was unfurled at
noon to-day from the capitol was the
first ever tloated from the dome with
forty-twO stars on it. Four SEN
ators from the new States, Moody and
Pettigrew from South Dakota, and
Squire and Allen of Washington, were
on the floor of the Senate and took
the oath. Their appearance brought
the only burst of applause heard in
the Senate chamber, and the interest
of all centered in the new Senators.
Senator Plumb escorted Judge Moody,
Senator Spooner gave his arm to
Senator Pettigrew, and Senators Dolph
and Mitchell, of Oregon, chaperoned
their neighbors, Allen and Squire.
The ceremony took but minute and
was very formal.

THE CAPITAL QUESTION.
A Code Commissioner Thinks 1t Will
not De Eecomitted Next Year.
Orcgonian.

Oitsohldh.
II. J. Snively, OF North Yakima, one
of the Territorial Code Commissioners.
has raised an interesting point which
furnishes iood for reflection. 1t is on
the question of the permanent loca-
ton OF the State capital. On this
question Section |, Article XIV, Of the
Constitution says: "In case there
shall be no choice of location at said
first election, the Legislature shall at
its first regular session after the adop-
ton of this Constitution, provide for
submitting the same TO the qualified
electors OF the State ut the next sue
ceeding general election thereafter"
In this connection Section 8, Arti-
Gle VI, says:
:" The first election of county and
district officers not otherwise provided
for in this Constitution shall be on the
Tuesday next after the first Monday
in November, 1890, and thereafter all
elections for such officers shall lie held
biennially on the Tuesday next sue
ceeding the first Monday in November.
The first election Of all State officers
not otherwise provided for in this
Constitution, after the election held
for the adoption Of the Constitution.
shall be on the Tuesday after the first
Monday in November, 1892, and the
election for such State officers shall be
held in every fourth year thereafter,
on the Tuesday succeeding the first
Monday in November"
Mr.. Snively is decidedly inclined to
the belief that the question of whether
the capital location will be submitted
to the people next November, as it is
generally thought it will be, depends
on whether the election for Congress
man and county and district officers
to be held then can be construed to be
a general election. He thinks that in
order to make it general election the
Governor and other State officers
should be voted for. In that event
the capital question would not come
up again for three years.
An election in which congressional
candidates are voted for is generally
considered to be general election,
and there is scarcely any doubt but
the question will be submitted next
November.

THE Democratic members OF the
National House of Representatives, in
caucus, last Monday, at Washington,
by resolution, sent greetings to the
people of the country with the assur-
ance of their answering confidence in
the principles of tariff reform, while
mailing with delight the emphatic
approval of the people as expressed at
the polls in the late elections.

THOUGH quite full accounts were
given in the daily press Of the prom
enade concert and ball given by the
Ladies' Relief Society of this place, on
Thanksgiving evening, at Columbia
Hall, we hear upon every hand COM
plants that the writer's of these ac-
counts, while giving minute particu-
lars of the costumes and ornaments
worn by the ladies there, contented
themselves with bare mention of the
names of the gentlemen present, with
out the slightest allusion to what any
OF them wore, in fact without any d.
rect statement that they wore any
thing worth mentioning. At this late
day it is impracticable to fully supply
this omission, but we have persuaded
our reporter to do the best he can
from memory, in the way of making
out list of those gentleman most no
ticeable for their get up, which we
give below. Should any gentleman's
name be omitted, who should be men,
toned, we will make amends in our
next issue upon receiving q proper
statement. Here is the list as fur
nished by our reporter:

General r. g. O'Brien, sash and epau-
lettes; Lieutenant Governor Laughton,

How the Farmers are Organizing.

Mr.. William A. PETER, editor of the
Kansas Farmer, has made a study oil
the extent to which the farmers are
organized into Alliances, Wheels
Oranges, and other such bodies. He
has bought together the statistics OF
the membership of each of these or
carnations, and has collected facts
bearing on their methods and pur-
poses, which show that the agricultur-
lists are in q much more complete
state OF organization than they have
ever been before, for the present asso-
Citations far Outnumber the member
ship of the old Grange, and their
growth shows greater spontaneity
and q clearer purpose than was shown
by the Grange. OF the 1900, 900 farm
ers in the United States, at least L.
100000 are now organized, and a
movement is ON foot to consolidate all
existing organizations and extend
them, whereby the organizers expect
in brief period to include in this
consolidated association not less 4,OOO,-
600 farmers.
Some of these associations have
originated in the Southwest, some in
other parts of the South, and some in
West. Their general purpose is so to
express the importance of the agricul-
tural interest as to cause other inter-
ests to pay greater heed to the farmer.
The complaint of all these organiza-
tons is, in substance, that the middle
men and money lenders have, in one
way or another. great advantage over
the farmer, which advantage has been
used to his Impeachment. All
these organizations are secret, and
although in purely local sense none
of them is political. in larger sense
they all have political significance,
inasmuch as they all look forward 10
an opportunity for the farmers vote
to change legislation which they con-
ceive to be particularly adverse to the
agricultural int rests.
One of the most significant facts
which is shown indirectly by Mr..
PETERS study 10 that there is q uni
versal feeling among farmers that our
industrial organization somehow does
them great injustice. For the publ
cation of his full statement of these
facts, Mr.. PETER has selected The For.
UNI, and his article appears in the De-
cember number.

An OFY-CoLOR.-The New York
World's Washington special says that
Minister Fred Douglass has been snub-
bed by President Hippolite, of Hayti,
who is dissatisfied because the United
States government does not send q
white man to represent it. The send
ing OF black man is considered as .
slight. The chief reason for Hayti's
marked friendship towards France is
that France sends q nobleman of high
rank as her representative. The cool
ness shown towards Minister Douglass
may interfere with the obtainment by
the United States of q coaling station
in Hayti. The dispatch asserts that
Admiral Gherarde has been ordered to
Hayti with the Galena bearing diplo-
matte instructions, which it is hoped
will smooth matters over.

Largo Bodies Move Slowly.

The mistake made by the Constitu-
tional Convention in fixing the num-
her of member o. the State Lcgisla-
ture SO large, is every day becoming
more opponent. 1t is not alone the
cost of such large body, but the i'm
perfect work done and the time
wasted in consideration OF the
cranky propositions of some of the
members, that harrows the soul, and
make the spectator long for a heavy
sand-bag, and athletic muscles to en-
force something like order and deco
rum in what is becoming generally
known as the House of Misrule. The
difference in this respect between the
Senate and the House, indicates I'M
mistakably the better order and IA
cility for the dispatch OF business
which "a members possess over Il.
The members of both branches aver
age about even in mental capacity,
but the Senate has done more and
better work with one session a day
than the House has with two. In
fact, it may be said, that the great
mistake of the House is in the en-
deavor to do too much. The members
are many OF them new, and have not
yet had the wire-edge of their ambi-
ton toned down by actual contact
with the milestone Of popular opin-
ion. They have yet to learn that the
Legislative halls do not contain all
the legal lore of the universe, and that
when such an opinion is entertained
it has to be extracted as surely to re-
store the mental equilibrium as the
noisome tape-worm when it finds lodg-
ment in the stomach to bring about
bodily health.
The observation of the writer, ex-
tending over many years of opportu-
nifty for forming just opinion, leads
him to the unqualified opinion that
the best work has invariably been
done by legislatures which have held
but q single session per day, and gave
the remainder of the time to careful
committee work; and as proving this
position inversely, the greatest botch
in the shape OF the legislation was the
revenue law few sessions ago, when
the House devoted the afternoons of a
week to work in committee of the
whole on that act. It was so incon-
grous, 80 inconsistent with itself, and
so ridiculously absurd in some of its
provisions, that it was seriously con-
templated to ask Congressional relief
by an act for its repeal.
1t is probable that the House may,
in the course of time, awaken to q
realization of the fact that much OF its
'asor, 20 far, has been but "boy's play"
and get down to solid work. If each
member would obey the adage, "Think
thrice ere you act twice." it would
doubtless do away with many of the
useless motions, which sometimes
serve only to involve the body in an
inextricable smart. la
These comments are made in the
kindest spirit, and for the good Of
members quite as much of the public
service.

JEFF Davis, ex-President of the Con-
federate States, died in New Orleans
ut II As this morning. At six O'Clock
last evening, ne was seized with . con-
gestiye chill, which in his feeble con-
dition soon terminated fatally. Mr..
Davis was born in what is now Todd
county, Kentucky, in 1908. He grad
uated 1t the U. s. Military Academy
in 1928, and was assigned to duty in
the First Infantry and served in the
Black Hawk war of 1892. He mar
RED the daughter of Zachary Taylor,
then q Colonel in the. army, and be.
came . cotton planter. He after
wards served in various positions,
military and civil, and gained distinc-
ton in the Mexican war. He was
U. 8. Senator from Mississippi from
1847 until 1856. He was Secretary Of
War under President Pierce. His
career since is too well known for refer.
ence in detail. His health the past
two years has been very poor, and as
he gradually grew worse, he was taken
to the home of his lifelong friend, ],
N. Psine, Of New Orleans, where he
died.
