Some OF our Big Cotempor aries scofi
at the idea of compulsory arbitration OF
labor disputes like that at Homestead.
But surely if two powerful nations, like
the United States and Great Britain,
can arbitrate quarrel as big as that OF
the Alabama claims, or the Behring sea
fisheries, it ought to be possible to force
"a settlement of quarreis between few
Thousand mechanics and score or two
of their employers in the same way.
1t is possible, too, quite possible. The
Big Contemporary asks: Where is the
force to compel arbitration to come
from?" Public opinion is the force
that will do it; and do it easily, when
ever it is reused to make the effort in
dead earnest. The Carnegies, the
Pinkertons and the strikers, all put to-
gether, are not strong enough to with
stand Public Opinion. AS soon as P.
o. says that there shall be arbitration
there will be arbitration.

The state railroad commissioners have
written letter to Governor Pennoyer in
reply to his communication asking the
board to prepare maximum rate act, to
apply on all railroad lands in Oregon, to
be submitted to the legislature. In the
letter, the commissioners state that they
found the present rates just with the ex-
ception of those with the Union and
Southern Pacific, the schedule of which
the board revised. The revision is al
ready in effect on the Union Pacific, and,
in the matter of the Southern Pacific,
the case is at present on appeal to the
supreme court of the state. The rates
proposed and established by the COM
mission applied to the business of 1890,
an average year, amounted to net saw
ing to the people of the state of over
$75, 900.

SHORT ELECTION CANVASS.

The short space of time intervening
between the dissolution OF the late par
ialment, and the queen g sreech opening
the new, only about fiftyseven days
raises the question whether it would be
practical to shorten the election canvass
in the United States in national cam
paign?
1t is doubtful ii limited canvass here
would answer the same ends as the one
in Great Britain. Here we have vastly
more extended territory to plough pollt-
ically, occupied with Il far greater
variety of interests, populated with Il
far larger number of nationalities and
requiring a longer time to effect an ed
ueational fusion before the decisive de-
livery of their final judgment at the
polls. The cases are almost radically
different, while likewise related through
the similarity of the accepted canvassing
methods in both countries.
The limitation works so well, however,
in England that it naturally suggests
the serious inquiry whether its adoption
by us in certain degree might not be
made to work much more good than it
could work harm. A political canvass
extending over four months must be al
lowed to claim more OF a year for itself
than it is fairly entitled to or really re-
quires for its freest exploitation. There
is clearly too much margin for political
operations that were better left unat-
tempted and for manipulations that tend
g & l..
ment
At least one thing is certain, and that
is that the sooner the people give in
their verdict after the issues are made
up and the nominees declared, the bet
ter it is likely to be for them, as we'll as
for the parties formulating the contest.
Once having become possessors of the
controlling facts in the case, the great
body of voters gain little, if anything,
by further inviting appeals to their
prejudices and the inflammation of their
passions. Congressional debate is to be
held to have done as much to familiar-
ize the public mind with the merits of
current political issues as could be ex-
pected from party platforms, reinforced
by illuminated professions, bands OF
music, impassioned oratory and multi
tudinous hurrahs.
Why is not month or six weeks as
good as three or four times that period
for conducting a canvass to satisfac-
tory close? This is an age of newspa-
pers and publications interminable.
Why not reform our present election
method in at least this respect, even as
it has at last been proposed to confine
our national conventions themselves to
strictly deliberative ends?
