THE Oregonian says the COM
mittee Oh judiciary of the house
have instructed its oldest and at
the same time its most democratic
member, Mr.. Butler, of Polk, to
draw up a bill for an act to provide
for the holding of a constitutional
convention. Oregon's antiquated
constitution is the laughing stock
of other states which have been
more progressive, and the express
sion of opinion among the mem
bers is very general that this ses-
sion should take necessary steps
to provide for convention for its
revision.

THE "DON'T CARE" IDEA.

A reporter for the New York
Herald asked an ex- official to name
his choice for Senator from New
York, whereupon the gentleman
said as he was out of politics now,
he did not know or particularly
care. In this, answer is the text
for rebuke to many citizens who
pay too little attention to politics
and government, leaving it all to
the professional politician and
wire-puller. Every citizen owes it
to himself, his state and his nation
to take an interest in the choice of
representatives who have a voice
in shaping laws or executing Them
The publication of practical pol
itics will never come until the,
man who is not in ':politics" takes
an interest in elections and eau
cuses.
The men who prate about an
unstable government and the
growing wickedness of officials are
frequently those who always have
an excuse for taking no time to
vote or see that honorable men
are chosen to fill positions of trust.
They leave it to the heeler and the
professional political striker to say
who shall 10 the governing.
Greater interest is needed and by
men not sin politics."

SENATOR Quay may now expect
a fusilade of abuse from the entire
democratic line. He has intro
duced a bill entitled "an act to
prevent force and fraud in Federal
elections and to insure the lawful
and peaceful conduct thereof
which goes futher than the Lodge
Election bill, by empowering the
President to suspend the writ of
habeas corpus in any locality and
to employ the United States army
and navy to enforce the law, when
ever, in his judgment it may be-
come necessary to do so. The
democrats seem to have made a
slight mistake in claiming that Mr..
Quay was opposed to a Federal
election law:

IT speaks volumes for the sta
bility of our present system of
finance that the alarming speeches
recently made in the Senate have
not precipitated a panic. Not
only has the country escaped the
panic which was threatened few
weeks ago, but its finances are
rapidly assuming their normal con-
dition, and confidence, the primal
requisite Of commercial prosper
ity, is returning in business; circles.
And, do not forget, when consider
ing this matter that the credit fcr
our present financial system be-
longs exclusively to the republican
party.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,.

In his annual report to the gov.
ernor the president of the board
OF regents OF the state agricultural
college says.
AS the present attendance OF
students has outgrown the present
buildings, both for teaching, ex-
perimenlal and lodging purposes,
the regents are at a loss to know
how any increased numbers can be
accommodated. Congress only
attaches one condition to its mu-
nificent grant Of $15, 900, which is
that no part Of it shall be spent on
buildings-such expense the sew
eral states must bear.
The pressing need of this insti-
tuition is for all appropriation to
build an experiment station labor
atory. In this new building the
chemical, botanical, agricultural,
horticultural and geological and
chronological laboratories must be
placed, in order to give the college
building the rooms at present oc-
cupied for the purposes; and also
to give the station workers the
benefit of the larger space and
greater conveniences imperatively
needed. And there must be a
building constructed to accommo-
date not less than $50 male stu
dents. And the board are also
most anxious to build and to be-
gin at once to operate the dairy,
which was proposed in 1889, but
the erection of which had to be
left over for want of funds.
The welfare of the state de-
mands certain expenditures now
in order that this growing and use
ful institution may fulfill its benefi-
cent purpose.
AS congress has dealt literally
with this institution in the appro-
pria ton Of funds to carry on the
work, it is hoped that the state
legislature will make ample ap-
to erect the buildings
necessary for the present demands
of the institution.

IMPROV We THE WILLAMETTE.
The attention of the state legls

/ lie dtt0uGlOil vi Tic SedtO lOSio
Elature and congress is constantly
Eclaimed by either Portland OF
Eastern Oregon on the subject of
improving the Columbia river.
Much has been done for the Co.
lumbia river. A great deal of
appropriation has already been
poured into its capacious NAV,
and it is not less ravenous than
before. What it has received
seems only to give it renewed
power to directly convert the zap
propfiation' which is due its trib
utaries, seeming to forget that its
own ultimate Importance depends
in some degree, upon their vitality.
A few representatives of the in
terests of the Willamette river
and the people of the Willamette
valley have been endeavoring to
obtain recognition from the high
authorities which dispense appro-
priations, and their efforts have
not been altogether fruitless.
The have obtained the floor. so to
speak, and should be and will be
seconded by a large delegation
whose modesty has heretofore al
lowed them to defer the claims of
the Willamette to give precedence
to those of the Columbia. There
is no valid reason why the William
cite river should be kept in the
back ground in the matter of state
and national appropriations, and
it is time that the population of
Willamette valley were making
its influence felt. Its demand in
regard to river appropriations is
modest, and the small amount
which it would require to make
the river navigable. as far as Cor
wallis at least, the year round,
ought, in justice, to have been ap-
propriated long ago. This valley
has larger population, in proper
ton to area, than any other por-
ton Of Oregon, and to allow a few
sandbars, which little activity
and craftsmanship would dredge,
to obstruct navigation on its prin-
cipal waterway, is a severe re-
proach to the economic ideas of
our people. Let it be understood
that the best portion of Oregon
has claims which our legislative
bodies must listen to anI act upon
favorably.
1t is not the purpose to oppose
lust demands of the Columbia
river but it is not too much to ask
that it go hand in hand with the
Willamette.

The Boston Transcript calls at
tention to little-known fact, viz:
That the quantity Of coin neces
sary in any country is proved to
have no connection either with
population or volume of trade.
That nation of Europe which
transacts the largest amount of
business, Great Britain, uses the
least quantity Of coin, while the
est, the most debt-ridden country
of Europe, Spain, has the largest
amount Of metallic money COM
pared to commerce, the coin ratio
to commerce being 90 in Great

ratio in this country is twice that

BEFORE the democrats decide
upon the next republican national
ticket they should turn their eyes
toward the cut-throat vendetta
now raging in the ranks of their
own party, between the friends of

that doesn't convince them that
harmony is not the controlling SEN

THE Eugene board of trade at a
meeting. held recently discussed
the question of establishing fruit
and vegetable cannery. 1t will
require capital stock of between
$4,000 and $15, 600 The estab-
ldshanent Of canneries is yet re-
garded in some localities as an ex-
pertinent and capital appears tardy
in taking hold of the industry.
One of the great obstacles to the
establishment of canneries and
other manufacturing enterprises at
this time is the high rate of inter
est which money commands.
There is good reason to expect
that within short time the strln-
gency of the money market will be
relaxed;;that the demand for money
will be diminished and will become
available for enterprises which
offer reasonable returns. In the
meantime we may as we'll discuss
manufacturing enterprises and
