Reform Laws.

Hon. John c. Young state chairman
OF the Peoples party, says in an inter
view:
aside from the senatorial election
the Populists will have other import
ant fish to fry. We will insist on such
legislation as will give to the people of
Oregon free ballot and a fair count.
We want, first, a proper primary cleo
ton law: second, a registration law:
and, and, third, the adoption of the
Holt bill, introduced at the last ses-
sion, but defeated.
"The Holt bill provides that county
courts in the state shall really act only
in perfunctory way, so far as the an
pointment of judges and clerks of elec.
ton is concerned. Section 3of the bill
sets lorth the real object of the meas.
ure, and is as follows:
"'ltshall be the duty of the county
courts in the several counties of the
state on the first Saturday in MAY,
preceding a general election, to appoint
10 each election precinct three Judges
and two clerks of electi on, possessin,

THE PEOPLES PARTY.

The time is past for politicians to
sneer at the Peoples party. There is
not Peoples party member or Popu-
list in the legislature but got there
by advocacy Of his principles, on his
merits as a man and not by the cor
rupt use Of money.
The cry Of socialist and anarchist
will no longer be applied to the Peo-
pies party when it has majority. A
majority becomes respectable in the
eyes OF large class of even the cppo-
sition. \ majority only becomes dis
reputable when it abandons its prin-
ciples.
The editor Of The JOURNAL has
always been "A Republican in sense of
the cardinal principles advocated by
Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lin
coin, free homesteads for the people,
united nation, labor not subordln-
ated by capital, all American indus
tries protected, and all men free and
equal in the body polite. The Peo-
pies party has entered this same field
Of labor on which the parGy of Jeffer-
son and the party Of Lincoln started
out. 1t Is the party "of tn under

PREPARE FOR THE BEST.

1t is now settled, almost beyond
the possibility of disappointment
that the wheat crop in the North
west will be one of almost >un-
precedented abundance and unsur-
passed quality. Reports from
every station in the great wheat
belt are uniform in their promises
of rich yield, and the weather
continues favorable for the further
strength ening Of confidence that is
animating the farmers of this
part of the country. The pros.
poets for good prices, moreover,
are most encouraging, and on the
whole it may be .said that there
was never time in the history of
the Northwest when it's prospects
were brighter than they are today
But the mere fact Of abundant
crops and good prices does not by
any means constitute the sum
total of our blessings. We are
withou any serious labor troubles,
while the Middle and Eastern
states are in the throes of a strug.
gle that must result disastrously
to one or the other of the two
contesting interests. While we,
as a people, regret the occasion of
the great strikes, we are impressed
by it with the fact Of our greatly
diversified resources, and reminded
that we might totally lose any of
our great industries and still re.
main self.supporting and indie.
pendent. -,
The Northwest is the garden
spot of the world, and Minnesota
is the flower bed of the garden
We have greater resources, and
more Of them, than any other
state in the golden galaxy Of the
matchless Northwest. We have
merely to open the door and let
wealth pour in. Let every man,
producer and consumer, employer
and employee, put his shoulder to
the wheel and give an individual
as we'll as a collective impetus to
the new movement.-St. Paul

RESERVOIR SYSTEM ON TRIAL.

For the hrSt time since the res.
ervoir system on the upper Missis.
sippi was begun, its effectiveness
AS means of supplying water to
make the river navigable IN the
dry season bids fair to have a trial.
The reservoirs are full to over.
flowing and can hold no more.
They have never before been in
this condition. Their capacity. is
vast, and succession Of dry sea.
sons, in which practically all their
contents had to he used to main.
tain navigable stage Of water,
prev ented the accumulation of
surplus stores. But the immense
snow fall of last winter, followed
by the continuous and heavy rains
of the spring and summer, have
restored the equilibrium aid
given the reservoirs all that they
need. But the real test of their
efficacy as aids to navigation will
not come the present season, after
all. The water in the river will
not, it is probable, fall so low as to
need reinforcement during this
summer. The lakes and brooks
and swamps at the headwaters of
the Mississippi are all as full of
water as rthe reservoirs. These
furnish an ample natural supply OF
W alter for the coming months. 1t
would be great mistake to open
the reservoirs and release the i'm
pounded waters at such time.
These should be kept until such
time as they are needed and as
their effect upon navigation can
be measured. Let the river look
after itself this year, and the res
ervoir supplies ejealously guarded.
They will keep. Then, when we
fall upon season of drought, as
we assuredly will, when there is
not water enough in the river for
six weeks or two months to float q
steamer, open the gates. We will
know in that event just what part
the reservoirs play in the practical
work Of navigation; and if the ex.
pertinent is successful, a. there is
reason to suppose that it will be,
1t will afford an sunanswerable
argument for the extension and
completion of the system.-Red
