Il DEMOCRATIC SHEER.

At a time when the people Of
Washington are clamoring fora rail-
way commission, the Pendleton
East Oregonian has this to say of
the Oregon board:
Oregon's railroad commissioners are
now happy. They feel tina, they are
earning little of their salary in tho in
vestigation of the railroad wreck near
Chemawa. The investigation, however,
amounts to nothing beyond settling tho
question in the minds of the public. The
commissioners might have the power to
censure the company should they find it
guilty ofnegligence, but that is about
all.
That paper, 1t should be under
stood, simply echoes the views Of
Pennoyer, democratic governor OF
Oregon. In this connection an in
teresting bit of history may be
briefly recited. The original COM
mission disp!cased the governor, and
he removed them. Then the legis-
lature took the matter into it's own
control, relnstated the removed
commissioners, and sat down upon
the governor. Mr.. Pcnnoyer crank
lily made him little railway COM
mission of his own, but the repubil-
can state officials refused to pay
them for their valuable services and
drew checks for the commission
created by the legislature. The
courts sustained them, and the gov
ernor's commissioners, having moth
ing to do, and getting nothing for 1t
either, went home and resumed
their old-time duties.
The East Oregonlan regards Gov
ernor Pennoyer rs the greatest man
since Jackson's time. Hence the
above sneer.
The commission has demonstrated
its honesty of purpose and has dared
to resist great corporation. 1t has
prevented the railroad company
from concealing its own negligence,
and has made it possible for the
large number of passengers who
were injured in the Lake Labish
disaster to carry their cases into
court and receive reparation. the
commission should accomplish moth
ing more than that its mission
would not be Il failure. If the board
has fallen short OF the expectations
of the over-sanguine, the result ia
not surprising. 1t has had to con-
tend against the hostility of the
railroads, of the governor, and of n
large number of the democratic
newspapers in the state.

ENGLAND'S THRONE.

In another column correspond
ent of the REVIEW expresses a belief
that Great Britain Is drifting toward
republican form of government,
Victoria has so long occupied the
throne of England, and her reign
has brought such striking changes
aud reforms, that the consideration
of her death and the accession of a
king to the throne jars upon the
mind. Tho good old queen has
ruled so lightly, has displayed such
tact and wisdom in the selection OF
her prime ministers, and has con-
tented herself so admirably with
her round of social and domestic
duties, that she seems u woman aud
mother more than a queen, and
the idea of n return to an actual
king seems almost as extraordinary
as would be the abolition of the re-
publican form of government in the
United States. AS n matter OF fact
Victoria is ruler of her little court,
and all the rest of Britain is gov
erned by parliament and the minis
try.
If the Prince of Wales will change
his mode of life, and content him
self with the name of king and its
rich emoluments, leaving to the
people of the nation their own gov.
ernment, and bringing no fresh re-
proaches upon royalty, there is
reason to believe that he will round
out the span of life decreed him by
destiny, and that his son will
follow him to the throne But he
can never be a king in the true
sense of the word, never ruler
like William of Germany, because
the English people will not endure
it, no more than will the people of
the United States.
After all, Ii is the people rather
than the form1o of government who
determine the liberality and toler-
ance OF their laws. a republic may
be n despotisin, a monarchy the
abode of freedom. Since the
English and the Americans are
one in lineage, customs and
language, they naturally are in.
spired with tho same love of free
dom and tolerance. They will
carry about so many abuses, and IL
these abuses are not grown from
the blossom Of royalty they are
apt to spring from corrupt ward
politics.
Whether the Prince of Wales
shall die upon the throne of En-
gland, and be laid away i'm West
minster abbey, rests with himself
for determination. The British are
welded to royalty, and are willing
to pay for the cost of such show and
trumpery, but the changes that have
come over England since the girl
queen assembled, the throne are of
such wide scope that the English
people will never again tolerate the
eccentricities and inlmorali,ies of
the Georges.

Il ONE-SIDED GAME

1t appears from the expressions OF
a representative of the Northern
Pacific Elevator Company, appear
| ing elsewhere. that the farmers
down in the Palouse don't know
when they have a good thing, that
they are creating n good deal OF
disturbance over trifle, and that II
is the poor wheat buyer who is
hoeing u hard row and deserving
of the sympathy of the community
The wharehouseman appears to
have rushed to the other extreme.
a number of his arguments are in-
tcresting in their candor and sim.
plicity. His explanation of the
discrepancy between local rates aud
those paid in the worlds great
markets is particularly candid, and
will strike the farmers with crush
ing weight. "Why, If we were to
pay the full price of wheat" argues
this entertaining and candid gem
tlenan, "the price might drop in
the meantime, and we should lose
on the transaction" 1t never APP
pears to have dawned upon the
warehouse gentleman that the
price might also advance, and he
would thus come in for eXtraordi-
nary profits. This is very pretty
little game, but where the farmers
profits are to come in is n mystery.
If wheat goes up, he sells at the old
prices; If it drops, he sells on fall
ing market. This is an outrageous
cinch game, and it is surprising
that wharehouseman can be
found who is candid enough to
father 1t.
Very likely correspondents havc
sent In wild estimates of the crop,
and very likely the warehousemen
are interested in nveying the inn
preston that the crop is smaller
than that really harvested. Some
where between these conflicting es-
Inmates we shall probably find the
truth.
The claim that we had plenty of
cars until they were drained out of
the country by the farmers Is not
sustained by facts. Long before the
wheat was touched by the sickle,
Portland aud the Sound cities were
clamoring for cars for their lumber
trade. Even if the cars were run
upon an Eastern market the respon-
sibility rests not with the farmer,
but with the speclIlatiye buyer,
, 1890-11-27

United States has since declared that
other seaboard states must enter the
Union with the same rights That
ownership has been conceded by
congress and asserted by the constl'
tuition OF tile state. Now the rail-
roads come into court and set up the
remarkable plea that they must not
be disturbed In their trespass, be-
cause the city of Seattle gave them
possession.
This Is open robbery of the most
flagrant stripe. The people of East
ern Washington will await with
deep interest the outcome of this abb
surd claim before the courts. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether Seattle
judge will be awed by n false show
of fpublic sentiment and lend his ju-
dicial ermine to cloak u scheme SO
brazen and so destitute of justice.
