sENA TOR MORRILL'S BIRTHDA Y

The 10th birthday of our senior
senator, Justin S. Morrill,, was cele-
brated by a large and brilliant COM
pany in Washington Saturday even
ing All the distinguished people of
Washington were present to offer
their tributes of friendship, congratu-
lations and admiration In one cor
ner of the room, in front of paint
ing of the Senator, was a large basket
of white and purple pansies, sent by
President and Mrs Harrison, in the
centre of which were the figures 10. ="
The President was unable to attend
but his floral offering was accom-
panied by a letter of congratulations
The Burlington Free Press has this
brief sketch of the senator's life and
grateful acknowledgment of his ser
vices which every Vermonter can
most heartily endorse:
Senator Justin S. Morrill, of Yer
mont was born in Strafford, April IA,
1910, and has thus entered upon his
eightieth wear In 1855 he succeeded
Andrew Tracy as representative in
Congress of the second district, and
he has been continuously in Cangress
till now, period of thirty-four years.
He has thus succeeded by four years
the famous thirty years term of
Thomas Hart Benton. No other
member of the national Legislature
equals him in length of service. and
his career has been as DISTINGUISHED
for its usefulness as for its duration
After six elections to the House of
Representatives Mr. Morrill, was
elected to the United States Senate
and took his seat in that body, March
+, 1867. He was reelected In 1872
and 1878 and 1884. and has served
four years of his fourth term in the
Senate The important measures
originated by him or that have been
largely shaped by his hand would
make a long list. At the head of the
leading committee of finance, he oc-
cupies one of the most important
and responsible positions in the Unit
ed States Senate, and fills it not only
with great wisdom, but with a de-
gree OF vIgor and industry truly re-
markable IN one of his wears Mr.
Morrill's private virtues and estima-

GOVERNOR KNAPP.

President Harrison has seen fit to
compliment Vermont by giving to it
another important federal office and
appointing Lyman E. Knapp of Mid
dleburv governor of Alaska. There
were nearly 20 applicants for the
place and the appointment was a
complete surprise to them all and to
Secretary Noble as well He owes
his appointment to Secretary Proctor
who believes that he will make a
model governor of Alaska.
Lyman E Knapp is a native of
Somerset and enlisted in the 10th
Vermont and was subsequently pro-
NOTED to be lieutenant colonel OF the
18th Vermont. He was formerly ed
itor of the Middlebury Register. He
was assistant clerk of the House OF
Representative in 1872, and since
1879 he has been Judge of Probate
for the southern district of Addison
county Judge Knapp represented
Middlebury in the House i'll 1888,
and was chairman of the committee
on corporations. The salary of the
governor of Alaska is $4,000 per an
num- Judge Knapp will shortly
leave for Sitka, where the governor
of the territory resides.

POINTING A MORAL.

From a careful and candid editori-
al in Harper's Weekly of April 3, the
writer evidently does not blame the
Senate for rejecting the nomination
of Editor Halstead to the German
mission, for he says, 'ribald and
reckless vituperation and general in
temperance of speech cannot be held
to prove the power and habit of self
restraint and of careful and accurate
statement which are Indispensable in
the sphere of diplomacy" Yet to
show that this was not the real rea-
son for Halstead's rejection the writ
er goes on to say
mo more signal illustration of wan
ton personal abuse could be found
than that which the North American
Review has furnished in its treat
ment of the late secretary of state,
Mr.. Bayard. But it's responsible ed
itOr has been confirmed by the Senate
as minister to Russia without hest
tatiOn. 1t is now demonstrated that
senator's do not regard the most
reckless denuncia ton of a democrat
&c secretary as disqualifying a man
for high honors, but that they con-
slider the same denunciation proof OF
fatal unfitness for public trusts when
it is directed against senator's. This
is a view which does not deepen pub
lie respect for the Senate"

UNDERGROUND WIRES.

About a month ago Mayor Grant
of New York notified the Western
Union Telegraph company that I'M
less they buried their wires within 80
DAYS, as the subway commission had
ordered, their wires would be pulled
down. The great monopoly, headed
by Jay Gould, secretly applied for an
Injunction against this proceeding
and an application signed by an I'M
posing array of legal talent was pre-
scented to Judge Wallace of the United
States circuit court. The court hand
ed down a decision Saturday which
IS a black eye for Jay Gould and the
Western Union as Judge Wallace has
decided that while the wires along
the elevated railroad may not be in
terfered with, the mayor and the
board of electrical control may re
move poles and wires from the streets
otherwise The telegraph company
have now no other alternative than
to lay their wires underground. Now
let other cities take the matter up
and hasten the time when electric,
telephone and telegraph wires shall
all be laid underground. In the early
history of telegraphy the wires were
laid underground and there seems to
be no good reason why we should
not return to the good old way.

"a SCANDAL AND A DISGRACE"

No two men in the country are bet
ter fitted to judge of the proper way
to manage the postal service than
eX-Postmaster-General James, re-
publican, who as postmaster of New
York first gave that office it's high
character of thorough efficiency, and
Postmaster Hendrix, of Brooklyn, a
democrat, who has done the same
good work in the Brooklyn post
Office. In his recent striking and adj
mirable article on the railway mail
service, Mr.. James emphasized
strongly the desirability of excluding
politics altogether from its control.
Abiding to the article, Mr.. Hendrix
wrote to Mr.. James =
1T will be one of my consultations
in retiring from the office hold that
| have protected old and faithful
men from the desolation and de
spair which the spoils system works.
Surely the thirst for blood should be
satisfied before the railway mail clerk
or the poorly paid and consumptive
asSOrter is reached"
Mr.. James replied =
1T is more than gratifying to ME
that you concur in my conclusions,
and my only regret in reading your
letter is that one who has in SO short
a time worked SO complete renova-
ton in the postal service of Brooklyn
should be relegated to private life.
1t is a scandal and disgrace that
the country should be deprived OF
your services. You have done more
for Brooklyn than ever deemed pos
sible, and | believe her citizens fully
appreciate the fact"
The truth which Mr.. James forcibly
states is taking fast hold of the pub
nc Nc mind Why should the people OF
brooklyn be deprived of the services
Oh most efficient postmaster be
cause the President who Amounted
him has retired from of6ce 5EGHar.
per's Weekly. 'i"'
Since the above was written NJ
Pearson has been removed from A.
New York post Office. But this ONLY
emphasizes the demand that business
| institutions In which all the peopl.
are interested should be taken out o
politics.

state, for the following reasons:
First, They buy from first hands
in large quantities, They save the
profits OF the middle mon. They
save in freight They also have the
advantage of buying bankrupt
stocks, and also very often reliable
merchants who are pushed for funds
sell them the best ofgoods at twenty
to thirty per cent. discount for cash.
Second, They have leased the
elegant Opera House building for u
long time for almost nominal rent.
They have the most commodious
and best lighted store rooms i'm the
city. They carry full and COM
plcte stock Of dry goods, clothing,
hats, boots and shoes, ladies' and
gents, furnishing goods, iewelry and
silverwarc, notions, stationery and
cutlery, groceries, In fact n general
variety such as are usually kept I'm u
first class store. The Capitol Adj
venture Co. Is about the only firm
in Salem that tries to command the
farmers trade by buying all their
merchantable products, and they re-
tail the farmers products the same
prices they pay, thus saving to
the mechanics and laborers from
ten to twenty per cent for the real
necessarics of life. Therefore the
Capitol Adventure Co. asks for the
continuance of the public's patron
age. You will find them at the
Opera House corner Court and
Liberty streets, Salem, Oregon.

they are doing n legitimate business,
worthy Of their patronage. Among

the value of Il dollar, and where to
invest it; also the refined and tai
ented people go there for their

iOunment
THEY MEET AGAIN MONDAY.
Talk of Wine and Water-COmmittee
Reports.

H. B. As occupied the entire fore.
noon in the house to-day and some
pointed speeches were made for and
against its passage.
A petition was read which was
sent up by Mr.. Wilson through re-
quest and created a slight stir in the
house this a. M. By an act of Leg
islature in 1885 The Oregon Electric
Light Co. were given the contract
to furnish the city and government
lights in Salem at $1,000 per year
and for term Of ten years and al
lowing said company the use of
the state electric plant locat-
ed at the penitentiary, two years
has expired since the contract was
begun and as the Insane Asylum, is
in need of more Highland as the
above company have already more
lights in operation than they con-
tracted to run and as many as they
have power to run. The plant and
contract for the remaining eight
years Is offered for $4,000. Space
forbids any further explanation on
same to-day, the entire matter was
referred to committee on ways and
Means.
Speaking on the liquor question,
Harrington said he did not wish to
interfere with a mans liberty. He
believed that we should be as free as
God made us. He believed to take
a man as we found him. "Beer
drinking does not bring a man before
the bars of justice. 1t is whisky, he
said, and we should encourage the
sale of beer and wine and lrestnct
the sale of whisky.
Following, Derby said that the
impression was going out that the
drinking Of beer was not injurious.
He declared it did; said we could
see its evil effects all over our land,
He wanted bill passed, but not
amendments.

PROHIBITION: License.

EDITOR CAPITAL JoURNAL:-
Seeing that most of the greatest adj
VocateS of prohibition admit, after a
trial of forty years more or less, that
itisa failure it is not probable that
the state ofOregon will try to do
what has never yet been done. Pro
hibition works admirably for awhile
but inevitably becomes a dead letter.
Human nature is the same in all lat
itudes. Were we to adopt laws as
did the Chinese concerning the use
of opium and gambling, making il
death to violate a liquor law, and
could we enforce them ms did the
Chinese by decapitating tens of
thousands, still ere long we should
find the laws dispised, openly vio-
lated everywhere, in broad day
light-perfect dead letters. We
think it is the strongest instance of
the utter folly and uselessness of all
such legislation. 'Tis death TO
smoke opium, it's death to gamble,
and yet the smoking and gambling
are as common as eatingand walking
about. Similarly, Palgrave tells us,
that in Central Arabia where dwells
in large splendid region the finest
most graceful, hospitable, courteous
race of the globe, the white Arabians,
under the severest religious despOtism
ever knOwn-that Of the Wahaabe
Mohammedans, over a strictly pious
submissive people, the effort to pro-
hibit the use of tobacco and wine isa
failure. Committees of visitors reg
ularly visit the houses of citizens to
smell and spy out and whip all vio-
lators. Yet the housetops are
crowded with people smoking and
drinking every night, and the COM
mlttees, called zealators, when their
visiting is done, do themselves as
cend to their own house tops and
enjoy the fragrant weed and entic-
ing wines.
Perhaps the most effectual way to
deal with the great evil of public
dram drinking and treating is to
require every person who wants a
license for six months or less to have
his petition signed by majorityof
the tax payers of his village; or itin
a large town, of his block. This
keeps up an incessant but mild ag-
itation whose moral influences are
exceedingly wholesome. 1t is II
matter for local police regulation and
this leaves it where all such proper
ly belong, to the people themselves
to the men and women of each
town, village, cross roads, station
and the like. Experience Of the OPP
Grafton Of this law has been the most
satisfactory to all. In Georgia It
cleaned the saloons out of all the az
ricultural counties. All persons
mite TO enforce license law.
