WHAT SCOTT FOUND.
re,,s What He Thinks Of the
land of the Nez Perces.

AS a result of his recent
trip to Lewiston, in summing
m the railway situation edi.
torially Chief Editor Scott of
the Oregonian expresses the
following estimation, of the
Clearwater country:
"Perhaps the most impor-
tant territory in the Columbia
basin, still unoccupied by rail
ways, is the Clearwater valley.
Here is a territory of extent
equal, or nearly equal to the
Palouse country-the subject
heretofore and Still the subject
Of 50 much railroad contention.
It is a territory of enormous
agricultural capabilities, and
may easily ship 100000
bushels of wheat a year. 1t is
also a great stock country, for
the grazing lands in it and
about it are of prodigious Elk.
tent; and it lies in the vicinity
of great timber and great
mines. The traffic of that
country it would not be easy
to overestimate, and like that
of other localities in the great
basin of the Columbia, it will
come down to Portland by the
gradients upon which the wa.
tiers flow. 1t is of the highest
Importance to that country, to

to the city of Portland as the

sin, that the territory be fur

the construction of perhap:
100 miles of road east of Lew

the Snake river line from Ri

seventy miles. ) 1t is all prac

easy. We do not know tina

to do SO, and do SO at once
1t would mean within fe'

An aMENENr EtSTiGE On I'kAE
A.fa s. Hsu lNT

The Raleigh News-Observer lately
contained an extract from a letter from
one Of the ablest justices North Caro-
lima has produced in the last half CEN
tury-eX-Justice Willfam Shepard
Bryan, of the counrt of appeals Of Bal
timore-its supreme court. We have
an impression that Mr.. Justice Bryan
was chief justice. We have known him
for more than a half century. FIe is
a distinguished son Of the late highly
esteemed Hon. John H. Bryan, of
Raleigh, eX-member OF the federal house
and brother of Judge Henry R. Bryan,
CT New Bern, to whom the letter was
written. He vas graduated at the Uni
versity Of North Carolina, bearing off
its highest honOrs. We believe he was
the third or fourth of his fathers boys
to do this very handsome thing.
In his letter he holds that the ignor-
amt and vicious are alone barred by
the amendment, be they of either race,
white or black. He holds that it is
a matter for the small states to decide
for themselves, and that mo court has
power to Obstruct it in its operations.
If the amendment is adopted it Will be
then a part of the organic law Of the
state and NO court can in any way
limit Or destroy it. We give his open
ing reflection as to what the amendment
is. The distinguished jurist says:
1.-The constitutional amendment has
been discussed as if it were a series of
distinct and, independent enactments.
1t is, however, not a Legislative enact
met, but a proposition to the people to
amend their charter of government. 1t
is we'll known that constitutions adopt
ed by the people OF a state are not to
be construed according to the technical
rules which prevail in the i~nterpreta-
tion of statutes. They are held to
mean what the people intended, when
they adopted them. The of the
people are not lawyers, and do not
measure their words by subtle and
technical rules. Reason requires and
their language should be interpreted,
according to the meaning which it
bears in the ordinary understanding of
men engaged in the ordinary pursuits
of life.
But if the amendment were a sta
tute subject to technical rules, it would
be necessary to consider it as an en-
tirety. 1t would thus be seen that it is
a proposal for a restriction of the elec-
tive franchise. 1t is a government plan;
a scheme to be carried into effect in all
it's parts, without change, addition or
dirninuition. 1t is not competent for
the people to adopt q part and re-
ject another; they must take the whole
or none. II they accept it they say, in
effect, We wish this whole instrument
nc n nor& ~ Any, constitution oDI -o
adopt it without modification in thr
slightest particular"

Those confiding, simple people who
believe in Mckinley and think him
nonApartisan and extremely patriotic
and particularly solid and wise fail to
understand the little "wobbler" and
party-server. His conduct as to the war
with the Philippines has had more to
do with his hope of reelection than to
the good and glory Of our country
He Is incapable OF rising really above
the low Level OF a non-partisan. He
showed this when in the congress when
legislating for the benefit OF 'bloated"
manufacturers at the expense of the
people. He showed this when he fav-
ored so strongly internal force bills for
the south that his very corrupt party
might thereby continue in control.
As a south hater he Is conspicuous.
He came into the south ON a visit
some months ago, and tried TO win
| the confidence and admiration Of ohe
whites by unadulterated guSh and the
| usual 'tommy-rot'' of the demagogue in
| office. But when he came to trusting
| and honoring the south in time or war,
he forgot his barney and obsequious-
ness. We are reminded of this by an
| open letter written by General a. ID.
| Cowles, a brave republican, addressed
to. President Mckinley. 1t appeared
in the St~atesville Landmark. 1t is a
| well-timed and well-bottomed COM
/ plant IS to McKinley's unjust treat
/ ment of the republicans. The letter is
| pointed and something satirical. We
| give an extract to show how he deals
| with the Chief Executive of his party:
Until the south is treated fairly and
! imaginary lines are o~bliterated, when
| men viii be judged simply on merit as
citizens of the great union of states, We
will have a heterOdoX people. IS Now,
| Mr.. President, you acted molly, you
| acted wisely, during the war, and while
| you couldn't find a single republican in
| the south fit to fill a place above a
major Of commissary, l am free 20 tell
| you c~onfidentially that We have men
capable of filling any positions under
you. o were not acquainted with us,
and now since this Introduction no ex-
cuse will let you off in the future, and
WE will expect recognition"
He pays Mckinley much that is I'M
deserved in the way of compliment,
and thus shows that he is not we'll post
ed as to his doings. In no way is little
Mac deserving of the following:
"You have the plaudits of the demo-
Gratis and republicans for your heroic
