Contest of Election.

Some of oCr exchanges have claimed
that woman could not be elected to an
office, because the constitution provided
that only male citizens we're eligible. In
Union county Miss Nellie M. Stevens was
elected superintendent of schools By a
majority of the votes, and her male op
ponent contested her election The fol-
lowing from the Pendleton Tribune gives
the decision of Judge Fee IN the case:
at the last election in Union county
Miss Nellie NJ. Stevens received 1852
votes for superintendent of schools, while
Mr. J. l.. Carter received but 1892. The
latter instituted contest against Miss
Stevens, claiming that she was not male
citizen of the state and not legal voter
of the state, nor entitled to hold the office
of county superintendent of schools.
Argument was heard before Judge James
A. Fee, OF Pendleton, in chambers in
Union county last week, and the subject
taken under Amusement. Stripped of
legal verbiage the lengthy decision of the
Judge forwarded to Union county last
night, may be summed up in nutshell.
Mr.. Garter took a wrong method 10 secure
his rights, If he has been injured. Miss
Stevens, having received a majority of
the votes cast, and having obtained her
certificate OF election from the county
clerk, Is county superintendent of schools
regardless of her sex, and contest case
would not reach the question of law as
TO the eligibility of woman to hold that
Office. MF. Carler's remedy would lie in
quo warranto proceedings, instead of In
q contested election case.

Evening country picnic.

Salem Statesman: .Row dear to my heart
are the scenes OF my boyhood, when some
thing turns up to present tn m to view; the
meadow, the hay-rack. the jerky old b b.
sled. the picnic, the dance and the spellin'
school too." Thus soliloquized the antiqu-
ated newspaper scribe who watched the de-
parture OF the happy throng of s'youths end
maiden, fair" who left the city about 5
o'clock last evening for picnic in the vIcin-
ity of Halls ferry They we're not travel
Igg by train, electric car or fancy carriages
to mar the pleasure of soc,abiIity embracing
the whole crowd and yet exclusive to them
selves. Their motiye power consisted of
four f horses and their carry-all WACO
and hay rack generously cushioned with
clean, new-mown hay, the animals and ve
hicle beautifully decorated with national
higs and bunting, the whole j,yful COM
brnation presenting an interesting spect Gle.
The party was engineered by Miss Gussie
Giesy and Miss Jennette Meredith and was
IN honor of Miss Sula Ruch of The palles,
who is visiting friends IN Salem. Their ride
was not the smoothest and there was prob
ably more dust than they would have cho-
sen, but 1t may safely be guessed that there
was genuine enjoyment all the way and
that their picnic supper was relIshed.

Speaking of the United States sen

Speaking of the United States SEN
ate, the Democratic New Orleans
States says: ''Tricksters occupy the
seats of statesmen" It is rather an
unkind thrust at body of men after
they had singled out Louisiana and
attempted to legislate in her interests
at the cost of the people in other
states. They might have reasonably
expected that sugar organ in the
sugar state would defend instead of
malign>and grumble at the failure that
has been made.

once began to tighten the traces and

THE PEOPLE AND THE SENATE.

1t is remarkable fact that. at the
very time President Cleveland and the
members of his own party in the
United States senate are engaged in
one of the most rancorous contests of
American politics, the house of repre-
sentatiyes should pass resolution for
an amendment to the constitution to
elect senator's by direct vote of the
people. There was no purpose on
anybody's part, apparently, to bring
up the amendment in any such con-
nec1ion. Representative Tucker, of
Virginia, who is the champion of this
proposed change, simply pushed his
pet measure along as fast as he could.
Mr.. Tucker is one of the younger men
of congress. His resolution passed
the house few days ago, and by very
large majority.
The real difficulty will be to get the
approval of the senate itself. That
body contains some men who know
very well that the people Of their
states would never have elected them,
and they want to retain their seats by
the same influences which secured
them originally. Oregon always has,
with some exceptions, sent its leading
citizens to the senate, and the present
delegation stand in the formost rank
of statesmen. Mr.. Dolph has taken a
prominent part in the discussion OF all
Leading questions, and no western SEN
ator stands higher in the councils of
the nation. Mr.. Mitchell is very pop
ular with his constituency, and neither
he nor Mr.. Dolph need fear the result
if the election were left to the people.
No less than fourteen states have
formally resolved in favor of the
change. The senators from those
states cannot afford 70 disregard these
virtual instructions. Before this con-
gress expires next March, good
many more states will have opportu-
nifty to declare Through their legisla-
lures for this change, and they will
probably do so if the amendment
hangs fire in the senate suspiclously
long.
Once through congress, ratification
will be the next thing in order. The
constitution contemplates and provides
for two methods of ratification, one by
direct vote of the people, the other by
state legislatures. The latser is the
method upon which practice has set
tied. 1t takes three-fourths major
ity to ratlfy. Practically, as matters
now stand, that means thirty two state
legislatures, there being now forty four
states IN the union. On any partisan
amendment no sucn majority could be
had, now that all the states have been
But upon this amend
ment it is expected that the necessary
ratification will be comparatively easy,
especially as there is no time limit in
which the ratification must be effected.
Another important point is that, if
one legislature rejects, another In the
same state may ratify. A ratification
cannot be taken back, but rejection
can. This popularity was made prom
inent during the reconstruction period.

LITTLE CESPOTISMS.
The Former Power Exercised by English
borough Towns.

/ The Former Power Exercised by English
Borough Towns.
! Borough towns in England had for
/ merly extraordinary powers. Each
| had its system of home rule, and was a
/ little imperium in imperiO. 1t con-
/ trolled its trades, manufactures and
professional occupations, the numbers
to be employed, and fixed the price OF
wages and commodities. 1t determined
what We're OffenseS against the order,
morals and well-being of the borough,
and its codes assigned the punishments.
Its bylaws were a tyranny, and its
mayor was frequently a little despot,
as real as any cadi of the east.
In the court of hustings book were
recorded the prcsentments of the jury,
and we know from these what were
the oTenses and modes of punishment.
I The magistrates at sessions did as
much for county matters and fixed the
prices of all labor. No one could trade
from one county to another without
/ their license. just as no stranger could
follow an occupation or reside in 4
borough without the mayors permit
The tumbrel, stocks, pillory, branks
and the sl,immington were the usual
instruments of punishment for slight
Otfenses, but the cucking stool was the
favorite for scolds and cheating bakers.
Whipping was constantly resorted
TO, and was thought especially good
for women and boys. Any one willing
might be employed to perform it, and
sometimes a woman undertook it for
the sake of the fee. which varied from
four pence TO a shilling. To witness it
formed a part of public amusements, as
in the case of hanging, and men visited
the jails on whipping DAYS to see the
women whipped. Forestalling-buy-
ing out of market to sell again above
market price-was grave offense and
was severely punished.
A Mr.. Rusby. an eminent corn factor,
was indicted in the court of kings
bench on July +, $500, for having pur-
chased by sample eight months before,
in Mark lane corn market, ninety quar-
tiers of oats at fortY-one shillings per
quarter, and sold thirty of them again
IN the same market, on the same day,
at forty-four shillings. The jury in
stantly found him guilty. and Lord
Kenyon, the Judge said to- them: You
have conferred, by your verdict, al
most the greatest benefit on your coun-
try that was ever conferred by any
jury" A quiet stroll on Sunday dur
ing the summer evening was visited by
a heavy fine or the stocks. 4 boy for
riding on gate on a sunday afternoon
was ordered TO be whipped.-West-

pUN'S REVIEW.

New YORK, Aug. 3.-R. g. Dun & Cos,
Weekly Review of trade tomorrow will
say: An important change IN the state of
business IS near at hand. Congress will
act on the tariff question, one way or the
other, in al probability within a week. If
it passes the pending bill, or If fails, in
either case tue definite basis for future
business will enable many TO act who are
now waiting. Whether tue one course or
the other would stimulate the greater in
crease, II - certain either would give re-
lief from present paralyzing uncertainties
aud cause some increase in business at
least for a time. So much business has
been deferred during the past year. and
merchandise stocks have been so reduced,
that the mere approach OF Il decision, with
out Certainty what it Is to b.. has this
week encouraged large preparation for ln-
ere Ised trade. In spite OF outgoing gold
aud sinking treasury reserves, small rail-
road earnings, some Injury TO crops. and
increase trouble IN the coke regions, the
tone ana outlook are more hopeful.
The injury TO crops by hot winds and
drought, /. rs great as some report. will
affect all interests, but at this season IL Is
never easy TO distinguish between local
and general damage. Western receipts OF
wheat were 500 254 bushels against
1'uu- 90 last year, WHlch uoes hot eAcout-
aye notions If short yield, aud exports
were only .j99. SOB bushels from Atlantic
ports against 3lo5. 464 last year. Corn ex
ports were ouly 10 AS bushels against
1888. sol last year, and receipts 30 o43
s.ainat :. 5,i2 go. but il seems undeulabie
that the crop has sustained considerable
injury. Sales of wool were S,J22. 900
