THE NEW NEGRO QUESTION.

The right of the adult male negroes
to vote unhindered in the South and
the right of the North to insist that if
negroes are deprived of the suffrage
there the South must submit to the loss
of the power to apportion Congress
sional membership on their numbers,
are twin issues which have already di-
vided Congress and may figure largely
in subsequent debates.
The questions raised are serious and
in their settlement will require for
bearance and fair play on each side.
That the adult male negroes of the
South have the right to vote unhinder-
ed is a truth which the Constitution,
in its war amendments, has establish
ed; but the propriety of letting them
exercise that right, when they use it
to degrade the public service, TO bur
den the commonwealth with debt and
to Cypress the white taxpayers. is so
much open to question that Republican
National Conventions have long since
ceased to affirm it as being mere
matter of course or even to mention it
at all.
But if we accept the Democratic plea
that good government in the South re-
quireS the exclusion of the negroes
from the polls, we must insist on the
withdrawal Of such negroes from the
basis of apportionment. Because of it's
negro population the South is entitled
to just so many more Congressman and
just so many more electoral votes than
1t would have if the negroes were not
there. But If the negroes are not
counted at the polls why should they
be counted as factors in the determin-
alton of the number of congressman
and Electors-men with whose choice
they have had nothing to do? They
are ruled out of politics in the first
analysis; why should the Whites have
the right to exploit them in the last?
AS things are the South has a weight
in politics which it is not entitled to.
One white man counts for more in ma
tionaI politics there than he does in
the North; and to this the North has
the right and the will to object.
The proposition to the Southern
whites Of the hackers of the present
Congressional inquiry is: Give the
negro free ballot and a fair count.
II not, do not claim enlarged political
representation because of the presence
of the negro on your SOIL The repre-
sentation is his, and if he cannot exer-
else 1t. it certainly does not revert to

1t will be interesting to watch the
career in the Army of Cadet Edward
N. Johnston of Oregon, who is first
man in all the subjects of his West
Point class-engineering ordnance and
gunnery, law and HISTORIAN unusual
distinction. 1t has not often happened
that the head of a West Point class
has distinguished himself in active
military life, George B. Mcclellan be-
ing one of the exceptions. Grant was
much below par and Sheridan escaped
by the skin Of his teeth from being
dropped. The most famous Confeder-
ate Generals did not lead the cadet
procession. Going back to another age
and country we find that among the
students at Brienne, Napoleon Bona
part was by no means conspicuous ex-
cept for his habit of letting his stock
ings drag about his heels. So, after all,
some of the young men who now gaze
enviously at the upward climbing of
Cadet Edward N. Johnston may finally,
as they toll towards the summit, meet
him coming down.

WHAT THE LEGISLATURE
DOING
THE SENATE.


The senate organized Monday noon
by the selection of Senator Megler as
President pro tempore-Lieut. Gov.
Mcbride not being eligible to preside
until after the houses canvass the vote
OF the last election, or until Wednes
day. After some preliminary work
the call for bills brought Senate Bill
No. Approaching for the appropriation
OF $4,000 to pay the expenses of the
present session, No 2, providing for a
railroad commission toregulate freight
rates, and several minor bills. The
clerks and employees, who had been
selected at caucus the previous eve
ming, were elected and sworn in, the
committees to notify the house and
the Governor of the organization ap-
pointed, and the senate adjourned
until Tuesday.
Tuesday morning session was open
ed by prayer by Rev. Glass, and on
motion the offer of the ministerial
uaion to hold services every morning
was accepted.
Senator Andrews, of King pres ented
memorial reviewing the work of the
Oregon and Washington Volunteers
in the early Indian wars and asking
Congress for the pensoning of the
surviving volunteers.
A resolution for junket committee
to visit the state educational institu-
ton was tabled.
The railroad and re-apport,onment
bills will create considerable discussion
as we'll the fishing and oyster questions
The lobby is on deck but keeping
shady until the legislature gets down
to the consideration of the measures.
Wednesday at 2 p. m. the Governor
was inangu:ated and occupied over an
hour in reading his inaugural message
to the joint houses. The Senate COM
mittees were announced, and Senator
Angle received places on six commit
tees including the Printing committee
OF which he is chairman. Railroad,
Engrossed bills, Auditing, Fisheries
and Public Buildings. His first bill
was no. "a amending the game laws to
prohibit the killing of elk for ten years.
THE HOUSE.
The house organized, electing the
speaker, R. B. Albertson, of King, and
the employees, ali of which had been
agreed upon at caucus the previous
evening, and the usual preliminary
business incident to the opening of
the session was passed, and the house
adjourned until Tuesday morning.
Tuesday was devoted to mass of
routine business. Forty sets OF Bal
fingers codes were ordered for the
members. A resolution was introduced
limiting the session to forty days but
was deieased. The general opinion is
the l. IS not possible to reduce the
sessisl, as more than the usual grist
OF b. Is is in prospect and deserving of
closer consideration than was possible
in other years. The result will likely
be fewer rather than more laws.
Wednesday afternoon was devoted
to listening to the executives message,
and preparing for the flood of bills
promised as soon as the cammittees
are announced Thursday.
