Locations for State institutions.
The DALLEs, Or, May ii, 1ss


EDITOR CHRONICLE:
It surely requires no lawyer to see
that the injunction suit lately initiated
before Judge Burnett of Albany, against
the trustees of the Oregon Soldiers Home
has not the shadow of a foundation to
rest on. The state constitution nowhere
provides that all or any of the public in
stitutions of the state shall be located at
the seat of government. The only refer
ence in the constitution to the location
of the state institutions is contained IN
provision in section 3 of article IA to
the effect that if all the state institutions
should be located at the place chosen
for the seat of government then, in that
case, the place first chosen should re-
main the seat of government for a
period OF 20 years from its selection.
Here is the section in question:
"The seat of government, when es-
tablished provided in section one,
shall not be removed for the term of 20
years from the time of such establish
ment, nor in any manner than as pro-
vided in the first section of this article:
Provided, that all the public institutions
OF the state, hereafter provided for by
the legislative assembly, shall be located
at the seat of government
That is to say, if all the public insti-
tutions shall be located at the capital
in that case the seat of government
shall remain in the place first chosen
for 20 years, but if any of the public in
stitutions should be located away from
the seat OF government the people could,
If they so willed, remove the seat of
government to another pl ace without
swaiting for the 20 years to expire. This
lis, by every rule of grammar, the plain
meaning of the words, however legal sub
tlety may understand them. The word |
provided" implies a condition, and
qualities the provisions that percede it.
Provided all the state institutions
shall be located at the seat of govern
ment, twenty years must transpire be-
lore the capitol can be removed to
another place. AS matter of fact all
the state institutions have not been To-
Gated at Salem, Corvallis having the
agricultural college and Eugene the
state university. Is it possible that
these institutions have been located
there in defiance of the constitution and
that the Salemites or whoever they may
be who are at the bottom of the pend
ing injunction suit have only now made |
the discovery? Is it conceivable that |
his excellency, Gov. Pennoyer, whose
powers for detecting things unconstitu-
tional are we'll known, should have al
lowed the bills for the soldiers home
and branch asylum to have become
laws without giving the alarm before of
unconstitutionality? We think not.

EUROPE's WAR CLOUD.

A day or two ago mention was made
in these columns OF the fears expressed
by Nj. Jacques ST. Cere. the Paris CORE
spondent Of the New York Herald. that
the immense standing armies Of the Eu-
ropean nations must. sooner or later,
lead to war. That he has just grounds
for his fears can readily be seen by the
statistics given by him regarding the
strength Of these armies, and the i'm
mense cost attendant upon their mainte-
nance.
As TO the strength Of the various
armies. NJ st. Cere states that I'm 1869.
the year preceding the Franco German
war, France had $4,000 soldiers, now
she has 4$jOOoO; Germany had then
100000. against 100000 now. Russia had
10000 then. against 100000 now; Aus
tria-Hungary had 10000 then. and now
she has 100000; Italy then had 10000,
and now she has $4,000. The grand
total OF soldiers in Europe in 1863 was
6.95S,OOO whereas now ii reaches the enor-
nous amount Of 22.29S,OO
AS 10 the cost or maintaining these
armies NJ. st. Cere shows that in 1863
France spent s949OO,OOO on her army
against slSS. 10000 last year. Germany
in 1869 spent s44.S00.OO0 against SIP. 10000
IN 1892. Russia spent then 81, 10000
while last year she spent sl9s, 10000
Lustria-Hungary spent in 1869 ssS 100000
against So 10000 in 1892. Italy, in 1869.
spent S2S. 200 900 against So. 500 900 last year
and all Europe spent si5,6OO.O0 in 1869
against SSH. 10000 in 1892.
IL is plain to see. as NJ. st. Cere does.
that this immense strain upon the indus
tries and Resources Of Europe cannot long
be borne since the taking Of SO many
men away from agriculture and the va
nous branches OF productive labor TO
serve in the army. must cause an i'm
mense reduction in money-making pro-
ducts while the heavy taxes upon what
the comparatively few producers there
are necessary to maintain these armies
must become proportionateiy greater. II

We do not propose TO make any COM
ruent upon the investigation OF the city
Hail contracts while the committee has
| the subject under consideration. 1t should
be left entirely free and uniniuenced TO
make It's investigations and to reach It's
conclusions without any interference OF
any sort whatever from the outside.
We cannot refrain. however, from say
ING that the investigation has already
gone far enough TO show that 1t ought 10
have been made. The testimony OF Mr..
Belvin has not been fully or accurately
reported in the newspapers on some
points. We have therefore been TO the
stenographer's and copied part OF 1t
from his record. After stating that his
expenses were TO be paid on HIS trip
with the committee. North, the following
dialogue occurred:
@. what services were you 20 render
for that?
a. Just 10 represent him-that's all. j
was TO 20 along with the committee and
help 20 entertain them. Mr. Booze said
he wanted me 10 90 20 help to entertain
them. MT. NatifI StDl MI hiNhh "
help to entertain them"
Further on he said that in the evenings,
after the days work was over. he would
sometimes entertain the committee, at
other times Mr.. Glenn would entertain
them That on one evening when 1t fell
TO the lot Of Mr. Glenn TO entertain them
he purchased two boxes at the theatre
for the party, at a cost OF $40 as well as he
could recollect.
Now, II nothing Is developed I'm the in
vestigation but this one statement that
statement furnishes sufficient reason why
the investigation should have been made.
Mr. Belvln and Mr. Waddey were both
bidders for contracts that this commit
tee was 10 award. II is not very condu-

tre-box parties included.
II this has grown to be a custom with |
our council committees when they go |
on missions Of investigation 1t is well |
that the people have come to know IT.
II the investigating committee does moth
ing more than to break this custom up, It
will deserve well Of its constituents.

Perhaps comments on the fashion Of
garbing girls Of twelve or fourteen years
OF age are unnecessary. Brown checked
ginghams, fiat, round hats and white
muslin dresses. with a pink sash for
very best" are as unpopular nowadays
as is that good oldfashioned proverb,
Children should be seen and not heard"
That is the sole reflection l am willing
to permit myself before plunging into
the intricate details OF an outfit for half
grown girls who spend their summers
at the seashore TO recuperate from the
nervous strain Of school work.
My first offering is a walking costume,
which Madame assures me is In excel
lent style.
The skirt Is red crepon. l note trimmed
with three bands Of the same, bordered
with little red satin ribbon ruches The
skirt will reach not quite TO the top OF
the high shoes Of its owner, who is thir-
teen years of age.
The bodice is fitted TO the figure Flop
ping crepon revers are folded from the
shoulders 10 the waist line The vest is
crepon, with a yoke defined by a band
of insertion, bordered above and below
with satin ruchngs. The collar is also
a band Of insertion finished in the sane
manner
Sleeves are large and dropping lined
with book muslin TO give the requisite
fare. The hat 10 be worn IS black straw,
with a garden of red roses blossoming
aloft Another "out-of- door toilet is OF
white wool, splashed all over with
punches of violets and leaves in natural
cOlOrs.
The skirt is trimmed with two bands
of violet silk, while the bodice belt is
green. A short zouave jacket Of violet
opens upon a white silk vest, gathered
and puffed. Sleeves Of violet with light
forearms Of the figured wool.
I don't know what the hat TO match
this CONNECTION is like Probably
"plumed and Haunting bit Of richn SIS
such as graude danes wore when
Europe was young and children were not
old. A third gown is. l admit, pretty.
The skirt Is plain brown WOOL untrimmed.
The waist has q blouse front OF brown
silk velvet with white. The Jacket is an
Eton with low cut rcyers. The hat is
tan straw. trimmed with a bow Of brown
ribbon and a bunch of yellow daisies.

VIEWPOINTS NEWS AND THE SOUTH
AND WEST.

For a long time the South and West
have felt sorely the want Of communica-
ton with the outside world through some
central Atlantic port At a meeting Of
the Southern Wholesale Grocers AssO-
citation, recently held I'm the city of st.
Louis, the feeling OF unrest took practi-
cable shape by the appointment Of a
standing committee to deal with this
matter of direct importation through
South Atlantic and gulf ports" In the
discussion Of such a subject, the port Of
Newports News must necessarily COM
mand conspicuous attention by reason
Of its geographical position-the acknowl-
edged centre Of the Atlantic coast line,
its magnificent and commodious harbor-
the finest on either coast. and. by reason,
too, of its rail connections with the entire
South and Southwest.
Commodore Maury long ago pointed
out the natural advantages Of the port
referred to in the foregoing. But what
is more to the point. for practical pur-
poses. the trade centres Of Knoxville,
Louisville, Memphis. st. Louis and other
cities have now come TO recognize the
fact that Newport's News more fully
meets for them all the requirements Of a
foreign business than any other port.
Mr.. z. @. Leigh, OF this city, has had
considerable correspondence with Mr.. w.
b. Lockett, president Of the Wholesale
Grocers' Association, Of Knoxville, Tenn;
John j. Telford, secretary transportation
committee of the Louisville Board Of
Trade; Z. c. Hooker. secretary Of the
Wholesale Grocers Association Of Mem
phis, and others. and 1t is gratifying to
know that the subject is arousing the in
terest and attention of all merchants and
trade organizations in those quarters.
The Press there Is also taking 1t up and
most favorably.
OF course, Richmond must feel a pro-
found interest in this movement. She
should as she will, give TO 1t her
strongest support. Our Chamber Of Com
merce viii take the matter up at its an
nual meeting, TO be held this evening,
and II is to be hoped will be able to Sc
cure from Mr.. Ingalls,. Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio, such substantial assistance as
viii speedily crown this most important
movement with success.

continued. universal bankruptcy must be-
come the Inevitable future OF the coun-
tries nut under such double strain OK
decrease OF production on one side, ana
proportionately increased taxation on the
other and either war or disarmament
must be the result.
But II is easy to see that disarmament
is impractlcable. The Pope, II Is said' Is
preparlng an appeal 10 all the European
countries 10 disarm simultaneously, but
the pope has little influence with France
and none with Germany or Russia, and
so long as they keep large standing
armies. the smaller powers must do all
they can for self-protectlon, and no one
country will begin disarmament for fear
that the moment it weakens itself a
hostile power will pounce down upon II.
II Is. therefore. the opinion Of the most
sagacious statesmen Of Europe that at
the first opportunity any Of these ma
tions have, or whenever any one finds
itself reduced 10 It's last resources, there
will be war; and that a conflict must in
eyltably come at some time in the future,
which will be bloody and terrible in the
extreme. II will be noticed that Great
Britain Is not mentioned with the above
named powers. because she, being an
island. IS not subjected 10 the same
conditions as are the continental ma
tons II England, so near to the scene
Of coming trouble is so secure. merely
because she is separated from the CONT
nent by the English channel. how fortu-
nate should we in the United States con-
slider ourselves, separated from them, as
we are. by the Atlantic ocean.

THE WISE ACTION OF THE CITY
COMMITTEE.

The Democrats OF the city are to be
congratulated on the action taken by the
city Committee Tuesday evening" n the
matter Of primary or convention. Under
all the circumstances attending the case
the pogtponement Of all consideration Of
the question Of selecting candidates for
the Legislature until September, may be
fairly accepted as total abandonment Of
the plan Of a convention for their selec-
ton. This was a most wise act upon
the committees part. II had allowed
itself to be FASTENED into being committed
to the plan Of a convention, without Civ
ing due consideration 10 the matter.
1t was a case IN which It was perfectly
natural for it TO be nisled. 1t was beset
on one side by parties wishing a conven-
ton. while, on the other side, public
attention not having been aroused It
heard nothing of the deep-seated objec-
lions amongst the people to q conven-
ton.
The committees action, however. pro-
viding for a convention. called out the
public opposition to the system and de-
monstrated this to the satisfaction Of
every one. 1t was nc act, then. Of wise
men, and Of patriotic men. for them TO
recede from the position unadvisedly
taken, on learning that it was contrary
to the wishes and views Of the Demo
cratic voters of the city. To have forced
the nomination Of our candidates for the
Legislature by n convention would GER
tainly have produced discomfort, heart
burnings and possibly a bolt in the party
while selections Of them In a primary
where each voter can freely express his
unbiased choice, Will bring harmony and
contentment to all.
The committee should now take up the
method of choosing Richmonds members
Of the gubernatorial convention, and
every reason which calls for the selection
of our candidates for the Legislature by
a primary equally calls for the selection
Of these by a primary. The people want
them chosen i'm a primary where each
voter can freely declare his choice for
Governor. II the committee would pre-
serve that harmony in the party which
it's auspicious action Of Tuesday night
has so happily brought about, it will
certainly provide for choosing Richmonds
delegates to the gubernatorial convention
in a primary election.
