There Is to be quite spirited contest
for the sPeakershlP In the next legislature
that couvenes next month. Hon. Geo. L.
Story, Of Multnomah, Geer, of Marion,
Paquet, Of clackamas, Mccoy, of Sher
man and Merritof Jackson, are candidates.
While we are not personally acquainted
with the qualifications of all these gentle
men,enough Is known of Geer,of Marion. to

edPolltieian, and very cranky one at that
Speaking from a party standpoint, his
election would strengthen the democrats In
the state very much for he could safely be
depended upon to make some very grave
mistakes. The probabilities are that Mr.
Story will secure the prize.

The Meemy tells us that the United
States grand jury OF Indiana has instituted
an investigation Of the right Of paupers 10
vote. This can not be. The right to vote
ls determined exclusively by the state. and
the United States has no more authority
over the question Of the right Of man TO
vote In Indiana, (excert In so far as to see
that no mans right shall be denied or
abridged by any atate on account OF race,
color or previous condition OF servltade,
than England would have. ifthe laws of
Indiana confer the right 70 vote upon pau
pers, the United States can not interfere
with that right. Under the constitution Of
Oregon pauper may vote. The policy
may be bad one, but the federal govern
ment can not interfere.

tenpore. Those who have succeeded him in
the rostrum have not always been so can
did. Parliamentary debate often demands
the appearance OF spontaneous utterance,
and it has greater weight than speech which
is evidently the result of antecedent study.
The charms of the impromptu are not con-
fined to the political oration or the after
dinner speech. The divine in the pulpit
who can simulate, if not actually practice
extemporaneous preaching has the advan-
tage of him who reads from manuscript, or
refers occasionally to notes. We have heard
of congregations of a certain creed who de-
mand as sine qua non in their shepherds
the ability to preach ertempore. What the
object of this stipulation is we hardly know.
1t does not follow because a preacher dis
claims the guidance of written notes that
he will receive inspiration from a higher
power.
On the stage nothing is so likely to make
hit as action or word that appear to be
born of the occasion. Actors are we'll aware
of this and not seldom prepare impromptus,
usually IN the shape of topical illusions.
Mr.. Jefferson, although above the use of
mere local gags" is one of the great actors
who knows how to simulate spontaneity in
expression of voice and face, SO that the
audience is brought to believe that piece
of carefully conceived and practiced by-play
is the result of the moments suggestion.
In short, there is no limit to the value of
extemporizing, whether it be practiced in
Congress, in church, at the dinner table, or
on the stage. And the best way to extern
porize is. as we have said, TO prepare care
fully beforehand. OF course there is such
a thing as the genuine impromptu-but it is
a very rare thing indeed, and as compared
with the mock article its success is rarer
still

NEWSPAPERS ABUSED.

There has been good deal of talk lately
about the evils of too much writing, book
and newspaper making in this age Mr.
Phelps, our Minister at St. James, until
recently, wrote wrothy paper about this
calamity a month or two ago, and Mr..
Howells annihilated his arguments and
conclusions In due time. President Eliot,
of Harvard, mas thought it worth while to
express his opinions of certain features of
the modern newspaper. The collegian's
criticism is probably deserved. Mr.. Choate
has also commented on the immense proper
tions of Sunday papers.
But it seems to have escaped the notice of
most critics of the newspaper-they gener-
ally agree that the reading of newspapers is
detrimental to the study of books-that the
newspaper is the only book that many men
can afford or are compelled to see, and the
newspaper encourages the habit of reading.
Thus the newspaper impels many to read
books who would have otherwise read
little or nothing. Newspapers of the best
sort-and we are speaking only of such
contain a great deal more than mere news.
They mirror faithfully the progress of man,
the growth of thought, and the history ofthe
world. The tastes of the readers of first
class newspaper are certainly refined by
what they find in its columns. The modern
newspaper, as America knows it, is a great
civilizing engine. Its power for good is
immense.

PROGRESS ON THE WORLDS FAIR.

The House yesterday passed the bill
authorizing the organization of the World IS
Fair at Chicago, with an amendment
providing for dedicatory exercises on octo-
Der II, 1892, snd the opening of the fair
itself not later than April 80, 1898.
The amendment was obviously necessary.
Had the matter been prom ply settled at the
opening of Congress, it might have been
possible to get up creditable exposition
by 1892. But after wasting four months Of
precious time over the matter, the least that
the House could do was to authorize the
postponement if it is found necessary. 1t
is to be hoped that no further time will be
occupied in legislative disputes over the
site. Let Chicago have the chance to go to
work and show what she can do in getting
up fair that shall be credit to the whole
country.
The Senate should not follow the example
of the House, but should promptly pass this
bill in order that the great enterprise may
be put under way at once.

CONSTITUTIONALITY AND NULLIFICA-
TI0N

The report is telegraphed that certain
western railroads have secured legal advice
to the effect that the long and short haul
clause and the anti-pooling clause of the
Interstate commerce act are unconstitu-
tional; and that they propose to fight the
act until decision on 1t is obtained from
the United States Supreme Court.
The late day at which this report comes is
calculated to diminish its weight. Is there
any room for doubt that the vast majority
of the railroad magnates consulted their
counsel as to the constitutionality of the
law within six months of its enactment?
Perhaps the opinions of counsel as to the
probable success of such a suit have changed
with the changes in the composition of the
Supreme Court. But it is very certain that
the lawyers who give the reported advice,
and the Supreme Court. if it upholds that
position, must overturn the judicial rulings
Of the past twenty years, which make ex-
actly these two points the. ones on which
there is little doubt. The constitutionality
OF the long and short haul clause was af-
firmed as one of the obiter dicta in the case
OF Wabash VS.. Illinois Immediately pre-
ceding the passage OF the act, while the ilIe-
gality OF pools has been declared by dozen
Supreme Courts and is admitted by every
railroad writer.
1t is doubtful if the railroads are going to
take this course. 1t will be cheaper to
leave the law in its condition of nullifica-
tiun.

QUE UNCERTAIN TON.

The uncertain and elastic qualities of the
ton in Pennsylvania, have long been rather
remarkable. A decision in Philadelphia
appears on the surface to increase the un-
certainty; but its ultimate result NAV be to
make single and undoubted ton. Legis-
lative action has fixed the ton of anthracite
coal at 2,24O pounds; but general custom,
which is supposed to make the same weight
for ton of several other articles, has been
decided to be OF no binding character. The
Philadelphia decision is that unless the
proof is clear that both parties to contract
understand that the ton is to be of 2, ,24O
pounds, a delivery of 1000 pounds will
meet the contract obligation. OF course, if
this stands as law, buyers will protect them
selves by paying for no more than the 1000
pound ton, which is all they can depend on;
and that weight will become the standard
ton. But is it not a rather strong indication
OF the medieval nature of our legislation
that Pennsylvania has never settled beyond
question how many pounds there are in
legal ton?
