We shall look with interest for the

The taxpayers will never grumhle at q
little thing like that. especially when the
expenditure is for the benefit of their

prominent educator, President Andrews
must know that besides free TUT on,
free books and free lunches there is some

Oregon's Vacant Chair.

IT would hardly entertain the stand
ards readers to wade through the
formal recital of the reasons that
were urged against the seating of Mr..
Mantle when he asked recognition in
the senate under the appointment Of
the governor Of Montana. The sum
and substance of the long discussion
was that it was the duty of the state
legislature to elect a senator and that
the senate must not be asked by its
own action to make good the derelic-
ton of the state. Essentially that is
the plain prose of it. The argument
that closed the doors of the senate
against Mr.. Mantle will probably avail
against II. w. Corbett, who, under
governors appointment asks to be
seated for Oregon.
The legislature at Salem got into
tangle the result of the pulling and
hauling between Oregon's factions over
the succession in the senate. The
session ended without making an cleo
ton, the governor appointed Corbett.
The senate committee on privileges
and elections voted yesterday to report
adversely on Corbett. The claim is
made, on his behalf, that his case is
unlike Nantes in several of its fea-
lures.
That may be true, but the essential
fact is that the duty was upon the
Oregon Legislature to elect and it had
the usual opportunity TO do it and thus
prevent a vacancy. Failing to do il,
the Legislature left no duty which the
senate at Washington is empowered to
discharge. That the adverse report
will be approved in the senate is proba-

1t Hangs Fire.

JUDGE M'KENNA learned a long
time ago that the supreme court
Of the United States is a deliberate
body: he is discovering that candidates
for the august bench sometimes reach
it by a painfully deliberate route, even
when they have the benefit Of presi-
dental push. When in December the
nomination Of McKenna reached the
proper committee the conclusion was 10

holiday recess, but Senator Hoar the
chairman of the committee, took occa-
sion to let the reporters know that TINS

doubt as to the committees final action

said because it was the well-established
custom with the senate committee, in

After the holiday recess, the commit
tee reported favoraby on Mckenna =
name. Day before yesterday action in
the executive session was anticipated,
but the case hung fire. Yesterday the
senate was expected to reach q con-
clusion and indeed, the case was taken
UP but, as the news of this morning
mildly remarks, ii became apparent
after few minutes of discussion that
the nomination could not be disposed OF,
so the matter was postponed
Evidently there is a hitch over this
appointment; the public is not in the

Platt's bill The reputable part Of the
city's press is discussing it, and not
many of them accept the idea that leg
islation such as is proposed will have
any effect whatever in killing off the
newspapers that are called yellow or
serve to shorten their career. In the
way of newspapers each community is
pretty ant to get what it calls for. The
average community is for decency and
ii thus happens that in the great ma
jority of instances, the newspaper that
studies to be vulgar or unclean or coarse
runs the pace that kills and is heard
of no more. That is the rule.

pushing, the Brooklyn Eagle remarks

cess of the newspapers in question, one
would have to believe that their readers
are daft and will remain daft for the
rest of their days. in order to reach the
conclusion that there is about them any
element Of permanency. Legislation
which would make them figure as mar
tyrs would only add to the nausea
which they spread throughout the COM
munity, and it is questionable, too,

SATURDAY. JANUARY Is, 1898.
After Forty Hours.

pHEN the Standard went to press
WI yesterday morning, the indica-
lions were that the rescue
force engaged at the collapsed tunnel
near the upper works would reach the
imprisoned miners before dayhreak.
There Were apparently only two Or
three feet of space to overcome in order
to make the improvised exit complete.
So difficult was the work, however. that
it was high noon before the men who
had been almost out of the world for
forty hours, crawled out of their prison
into the light of day. 1t was trying
experience, but when one reflects how
much worse the fate that apparently
awaited these men, the accident, re-
specting four of the five of them, may
be said to have reached fortunate
conclusion. The testimony of the res
cued miners is that they cannot account
for the explosion that shut them in.
None of them were near the spot where
the dynamite was stored; the cause OF
the accident is likely to remain mys-
terry. They also agree in the statement
that. as far as they could judge the
unfortunate man Mcleod suffered no
harm from the explosion itself-he
could not endure the deadly gases with
which the tunnel was filled, the fumes
of which were noticeable for nearly
fwenty-four hours after the wreck &C.
