Maeauereau Law unhslh

The supreme court of Washington
has rendered a righteous decision
and in a matter in which Oregon
would do well to duplicate the Wash.
ington law The Tacoma Ledger
says:
"A case brought up from Chehalis
county whore Frank Zenner, who is
under sentence Of three years in the

writ OF habeas corpus. was decided
today against the petitioner The
constltutionallty Of the act of the last
legislature, known as the Macuuereau
law, was therby brought to a test. The
title was claimed TO be insufficient
and It was contended that IL violated
the fourth amendment to the federal

was made between males and females

women.

rAE RIaHTs oF PROPERLY.

Because The Journal dare print the
news about the condition Of the NORTH
mill creek ditch, the owners Of that
property withdrew all advertising pat
ronage from this paper
The only inference is that If this
paper would keep still about the un
sanitary ditch in summer, and lie
about lts unsafe condition in winter
a few dollars might come our way.
The citizen who falls over the OBJ.
structlons placed on that ditch cover
ing. or who takes his lie in his hands
in walking across It. IS to have no
protection If all the newspapers can
be closed mp tight,
Has property any right TO dictate
the public policy Of a newspaper and
by a little drlbbling pap silence what
should be the mighty lever Of public
protection a free press?
II Is claimed that so mighty are the
influences that are strangling the
milling industry, and holding these
water power in their octopus grip
that not even a law firm in this city
can be got OF take a suit against
them.

HANNA's DANGER

An exchange mentions a wlld.eyed
rumor that Senator Hanna will soon
announce his candidacy for the presi
dency.
The wmor Is probably false. but II
Il Is true IL simply goes to show how
th6 minds OF the shrewdcst men may
be influenced by nattcry
The author Of tho Hanna suggestion
lntimotos a belief that Hanna would
make a good president. but that ne
never will be president nor nominee
for president
OF course there are politicians
enough who for their own purposes
are willing TO advance reasons 10 the
senator why the people demand him
rs presidential candidate. but II.
he same common sense that has
stood him In such good stead hereto.
oro hold, Hanna will avoid this
lanser OF wrongly summing himself

DEMOCRATS SAVED THE UNION.

There was a time when the Demo
.crats Of Oregon decided the fate Of tho
Union, by refusing to be rounded up
for the pro-savery wing of the party
There was a time when United
States Senator Nesmith's vote alone
saved Abraham Lincoln's policy of
maintaining a National Union at all
hazards.
Senator Nesmith's boast was that he
never voted against a bill that in
volved the question of upholding the
President or maintaining the army or
navy.
The Douglas Democrats all over the
country were the warm friends OF
and in many close states fol
lowed country rather than party.

The determination of the Republi-

is wise move. The Republican rep
resentation can still be based ON what
it was and would have been had the
Democrats not overridden the consti-
tuition and law by creating the alleged
counties for the purpose of giving few
politicians jobs, aud no Republican
will thus be deprived of representa-
