This much which the papers had
previously stated was welcome news
to many settlers in Eastern Oregon
who had cultivated railroad lands
for years without actually residing
on them. Justice demanded that
their rights should be respected
and had the measure received the
presidents signature, it would have
been the means of securing TO set
tiers the fruits oftheir hard labor,
but Mr.. Ellis is Of the opinion that
Mr.. Cleveland will pocket the
measure as the secretary Of the in
terioris antagonistic to this meas
ure because Of the fact that he is
laboring under the delusion that
it would mean an enlargement of
the homestead privileges. Senator
Mitchell also labored hard for
Oregon's interests, but many of
the western measures were either
pigeon-holed in the committee
room or defeated when brought up
for passage.

LEGISLATIVE RIOT.

Revoiyers Drawn and Many Injured
Knock-Down Fight.
INDIANAPoLIs, March 12.-The
legislature broke up in a wild riot
tonight in which almost every
member participated. Revolyers
were drawn and many persons
were seriously injured, Adams, Of
Park county perhaps totally. For
fully 20 minutes the state house
was filled with a bowling, surgiDg
mob. Men who had been friends
and sat side by side during the ses-
sion became deadly enemies, and
made every effort to injure each
other.
Myron King, Governor Mathews
private secretary, was locked in the
elevator and a big, burly man
guarded the door and refused to
allow him to leave. The police
finally drove the man away, and
the secretary was finally released.
When he arrived at the door of the
house at 1915, he found it locked.
He had an important message from
the governor, and a great deal de-
pended upon its delivery to the
speaker of the house before IL
o'clock. He pounded on the door,
but was denied admission. He
cried that the door was locked and
requested that it be opened, as he
had a message from the governor.
His voice was heard by number Of
democrats who were in the corridors
and they ran to his assistance. An
attempt was made to force open the
doors, but the crowd of republicans
who were bent upon the governors
secretary being kept out with his
message, resisted with all the force
they could command. The heavy
oak doors were unable to stand the

the Portland Sun.
If there is or ever was dishon-

gold dollar when made the sole

1t confscates property, checks
commerce, and paralyzes industry.
In times of trouble it hides in

Alone, with absolute power as

coward and hees at the whisper of
trouble or the shadow Of a cloud.

never reached the speaker. Just
skiing was about to place it in
Speaker Adams hand, that official
kicked and beat back the crowd,
and, in a voice that could be heard
above the horrible din, cried; t'The

a great CRY from the crowd, and
everybody made a rush toward the
speaker. The veto was torn from
Kings hand by q man who dashed
out of the crowd and made good
his escape. This practically ended
the riot.
The trouble originated over an

to the governor three nights ago.

PRESS COMMENT.
Gov. Prince Talking for New Mexic,

GOV. Prince Talking for New Mexico.
A representative of the Journal asked
Judge Prince, yesterday, as to the condi-
tion and prospects OF New Mexico.
"New Mexico" he answered, sis land
of extraordinary natural res ources, which,
to large extent, are still undeveloped.
We think we have wider variety of re-
sources than any of the states, as the
metallic wealth is great and the amount
of coal and other industrial minerals in
exhaustible. Much of the the territory
is especially adapted to sheep and cattle
raising, and fruit culture is one of the
principal industries. 1t seems strange to
tell it in wheat state like Minnesota,
but our wheat was decided to be the best
from all the world, at the Chicago exposl
tion, and our oats we're second only to
some from Russia"
"What are the prospects of statehood?"
asked the reporter.
"There should not be any doubt of the
passage of an enabling act early next win
ter" was the answer. "We have popula-
ton, wealth, intelligence and resources to
mako great state. But political consid-
eratons sometimes overbalance right,
and there may be more delay. However,
we hope not. A territorial condition is
an anomaly in republic, and was only
intended as temporary expedient."
"But how about the large Mexican
population"
Somewhat more than one-half of our
people are of Spanish descent, but that is
not at all poor element in the makeup
r,f ot0%o hot Io mis- To u
among those who do not know our peo-
pie. The Mexican population Is patriotic
and thoroughly American in sentiment. In
the days of the rebellion they were very
loyal and enlisted in large numbers. They
are conservative people and will help
to prevent the extravagances that are apt
to occur in the booming days just after a
new state is organized. They are pretty
equally divided in politics, with some
thing Of Republican preponderance.
During the hard times of course, we
have suffered like every one else," said
the governor, changing the subject, "from
the effect of the fall in prices under the
single gold standard. Between that and
the low tariff our wool, sheep, lumber,
silver, coal, etc., are all depressed; but
not so much as a wheat state like Min
nesota or Dakota is necessarily affected"
Gov. Prince went on to speak of the
wonderful climate of Santa Fe for tour
lists in summer, as the city is 1000 feet
above the level of the sea and never too
warm; and at all seasons suitable for in
valids. He also spoke of the great his
toric interest of the city, the governors
palace, for example, having been built
before jamestown or Plymouth were
thought of.-Minneapolis Journal.

PRESIDENTS DAY.

Atlanta's gates have been open month,
the Cotton States and international ex-
position is in fine shape, the weather is
ideal, and the conditions for seeing the
great fair are the most favorable. The
press unltes in chorus of praise for the
south's great achievement. Eleven press
associations, from Minnesota TO Florida,
have visited the exposition and all have
gone away enthusiastic on the fair. They
were surprised by its magnitude, charmed
by its beauty and filled with information
by the varied and wonderful exhibits.
The fun-lovers had their fill of pleasure
on Midway Heights and the sober-minded
found food for thought the rest of their
lives. Wednesday will be presidents
day." The president will be escorted to
the exposition grounds by one of the
most imposing military professions ever
organized in time of peace. 1t will be
composed almost entirely of historic or
CARNATIONS which have stood the fire of
four wars.

So JOHN SHERMAN, too, has written a
book. Chester A.,'Arthur's friends, NJ. h.
De Young and other prominent Republi-
cans are awfully mad about it. Sherman
tells tales out of school that will hurt,
but, outside of his plausible explanation
touching the death knell he gave silver
in 1874, he appears to deal in facts, as
the historian should. The publication of
this book marks the retirement of John
Sherman from public life. He's holding
his last office.

On October 20 the Santa Fa Route will
inaugurate new and strictly limited first
class service to Southern California.
The California Limited will leave Chicago
at 500 p. m. daily, reaching Los Angeles
IN three days and San Francisco in three
and ole-half days, a saving of half day.
Time from this station correspondingly
reduced.
Equipment will consist of superb new
vestibuled Pullman palace and compart-
ment sleepers, chair car and dining car,
through to Los Angeles without change.
This will be the fastest and most lux
urious service via any line to California.
Another daily train will cary through
palace sleeper and tourist sleeper to San
Francisco and tourist sleeper to Los
Angeles, as at present.

the presidency. He says he protests too
much, whatever that may mean. The fact
is that Mr.. Harrison did lot protest
enough when he had opportunity or he
might have kept his party from doing
many foolish acts. Such, for instance, as
passing the Mckinley bill. That ought
to kill anybody's prospects for the presi-
dency. If he had protested against such
high-handed robbery he might have been
his own successor, or at least the Repub'
lican nominee in 1896.
