The constitution of the state of
Oregon was the recipient of an air
ing in the national congress, recent
ly in which the old obsolete color
line clause was brought up and dis
cussed. The dead and long ago
buried out of sight idea OF excluding
col0red men from citizenship in this
state, seems to be the live idea with
Senator George of Mississippi. Ore
gon has progressed far enough not
to observe the old obsolete clause al
though no repeal Of it has been
made, and leave it to less progressive
states to haggle over such points OF
disagreement.-Alhany Herald.

S. f. Chronicle; A discussion
which arose some months ago rela-
tive to the power Of counties in Cali
fornia to build and operate railroads
is being renewed in some parts Of the
state and is exciting much interest.
The Chronicle has already said that
it knows of nothing in the constitu-
ton or statutes of California which
would prohibit q county from build
ing and operating a RAILROAD within
its territorial limits, and it has seen
no reason to alter its opinion. Coun-
ties may certainly construct and
maintain public roads and highways,
and it is not doing any violence to
The law to assume that pgblic roads
may be railroads as well "a maGad-
amized roads or any other kind.
The railroads in existence uniform
ly claim themselves to be a public
use, when it suits their purpose so to
do, and the contention IS generally
recognized 10y law.

From the Arizona Kicker.


Here is the whole Office seeking
business in a nut shell. 1t is from
the kicker of Arizona, the worst eX-
aggrratOr, perhaps in the United
States, not excepting Bill Nye: We
hereby announce ourself as a candi-
date for mayor at the election in
April, 1t is a little early, but no
man ever secured an office by being a
little late. We don't propose to let
any sense Of false modesty stand in
the way of getting there. We can
read and write and cipher. We rep
resent the intelligence and manners
of the community. We are the TOP
sheaf of society aud can borrow $l0C
at the bank any day. In brief We
are the best candidate who can be
put up for this Office and we are do
ing the public favor by consentlng
to run. We shall have something
further to say on this subject later
on. We don't want the office, but
the office wants us, At least we
think she does.

Legislative Comment.

NOT OF THE COMMON HERD.
Joe Simon, president of the seuate,
is seldom seen after the aujournme.'t
of that body. He has taken apart
ments at the residence of Dr.
Rowland, aud takes his-meals in a
private box at Il popular restaurant,
where he is attended by his mulatto
valet. Usually he is accompanied 10y
two or three friends. Just why he
deems it necessary to thus seclude
himself is another of those things
known only To joe Simon, aud he
has given ample testimony that he
knows how To attend TO SimOn's
own business, and when he thinks
it necessary can assist others also.
There are times, however, when he
comes out of this semi-seclusive
mood and makes himself familiar to
his brother senators. One of these
occasions came up recently when it
became evident that a strong feeling
had set in in favor of the Australian
ballot system, wherein he is liable to
be defeated. The state Of Oregon eX-
tends beyond the limits of Portland
and its suburbs.--Leg. Cor. Ashland
Tidings.
w
The election Of Hon. Joseph ST.
mon, as president Of the senate, was
hotly contested in the lobby, the
members generally were wise to see
that factional fight in the beginning
would not be otherwise than disaster
Gus in the end; his strongest oppon-
ents will allow, however, that he is
performing the duties Of his position
creditably to himself and satisfactor-
lily to the assembled wisdom of the
senate.

from Chemawa, is in danger if he
ever lets his name be known about
here, (that is, if he is not too big, for
so misstating the talk of Prof. Robb
and myself about the milk business.
| told the Professor that | had be-
come high tariff, protection repub-
lican, and brought up the argument
that by their buying milk of me at n
high price, would be enabled to
pay better wages to employees, and
also could afford to feed the COWS
more and thus increase the amount
of milk, aud 10y this means be ena-
bled to reduce the price in the long
ran, they would be greatly benefited
by buying milk OF me at a high
price and thus building up the home
market.
Prof. Robb evidently saw the
point aud ordered the milk.
He remarked that / was learning
republican theories very rapidly, and
was certainly no democrat. Now,
if that itemizer tells any more such
stories on me. | will use the stuffed
club of the Oregonian and call him q
"Megalopod," and finish him at the
