A New Primary Law.

The administrationists who drew the
new primary election bill for presenta-
ton at the special session did not con.
suit the attorney generals department.
That department has a draft OF a bill
which may or may not be offered to
the law makers.
The feature OF the new administra-
ton bill which is attracting the most
attention is the section relative to the
election OF delegates TO national con.
ventions. The bill provides for their
election at a spring primary, doins
away entirely with conventions.
II also provides for the nomination
of United States senators and requires
all political parties to make nomina-
lions under the provisions In case any
one political party adopts 1t. The ad-
ministration men claim their bill pro-
vides a workable, comprehensive pri-
mary election system. II does not in
clude any 40 per cent clause.
A copy OF the bill will be introduced
the first day Of the session. Some of
the states lawyers are saying that It
Is full Of legal blowholes.

This is all very well, but we hope the

the mere term, "Oregon Apple" will
cover the whole range of perfection
and leave these prideful sections moth

ways been conspicuous as an element
Of discord and we are leary of the
result of the fruit convention in
prospect on this very score. We ad-
wise the rigid exclusion of the ladies

as reducing the danger to a minimum
leaving the men to fight it out on
the safer hypothesis of pure business.

THE RAILROAD OCTOPUS.

The Standard oil Company Is not
the only giant mill that is grinding
the lives and hopes and opportunities
from the people. The railroads, such
as those combined under the control of
f. H. Hartman. are measuring close
iy up with tine Standard, and furnish
ing another clear spectacle Of the aw-
full system of robbery to which this
nation is subjected We are not in
different to the magnitude OF the work
performed by these tremendous organ
izations. nor to the huge investments
they have really made in the prose-
cution of their vast businesses; we
believe this should be carefully
weighed in the balances that are to be
struck as between them and the peO-
pie and that they should be given due
credit for the immense risk and won.
derful realization, taken, and achieved.
But the hour of adjustment is at
hand; and the deliberate, calculated,
conscienceless, limitless thievery Of
which they are guilty must be abat-
ed, or the end will be something un-
dreamed of. The work Of the Inter-
State Commerce Commission in New
York and Chicago in connection with
the Htrriman roads, is superb, and it
should go on to the utter ascertain
ment of the last particle Of informa-
ton to be wrung from the railroad
trust, that the people may know some
thing, at least, Of the burdens they
are bearing, and get in position to fight
back The patience of the American
is unparalleled, but it has its limita-
tions, tnd once the boundary of for
bearance is reached, there will be a
frightful reaction The Oregon legis-
lature has the very opportunity of his
tory itself, to make a record in this
direction and the people are quietly
looking for big and honest results; re-
suits that mean something, and un-
less they are forthcoming there will
be a sorry Homecoming for the men
who lay down before the Oregon end

relism in railroad affairs
