Tho time has como for the Jouu KAii to refer to a mutter which it c in discuss with no little pride and vainglory in its own behalf. It does not desire to1 appear anxious to gloat over the misfortune of Individual or corporation. Much less does it de sire to make capital out of amis fortuuo that overtook a railroad company in this state by which over one hundred persons received lujury to body or limb aud not a few were sent suddenly, or afterwards by a lingering death, into their graves. But behind the terrors of that night of the Lablsh horror stood tho prob lem affecting tho public welfare, was tho management of that corpora tion liable to the general indictment of crimiual negligence as shown by tho condition of that bridge? Tlio Journal managers, after a thor ough aud impartial examination came reluctantly to the conclusion th.it It wus liable to tho censuro of criminal negligence. Thin view of the matter was sustained by the verdict of tho coroner's jury who immedlaftli vout upon the ground and after thoroughly Investigating all tho facts and circumstauces per taiuing to the wreck in the pieseuco of tho railroad officials. The Salem citizeus committee, who ulso imme diately went upon the grounds, de clared the bridge to have beon a rot ten and unfit structure. Tho rail road commission, the most logical and most practical member of which was nmoug the earliest at tho scene of the wreck, after a full hearing condemned tho company as negli gent. Before thee oinnilsaion camo all tho englneors,brIdge builders and they even swore their own attorney, to establish a derailment theory that has been hooted out of every conrt aud jeered at by the common nouse of nearly qvery citizen. During all tneso trials nnu me attendant ex citement the Journal persistently aud stubbornly maintained tho trup theory that has been established by every tribunal of overy character, from coroner's panel to federal jury, to-wit that tho wreok was caused through tho negligence of said com pany in properly constructing said bridge and suffering the same to be come out of repair, rotten and decayed, and by negligence having allowed it to become entirely unlit to bo used as a railroad over which human beluga were to bo tranporb'd. It may Interest the public to know how many suits, growing out of tho Labish wreck, have been tried by juries, anu 1110 lesuit, Tiireo cates were tried at great length iu tho circuit court of this county, requlr ing live uays ior eacn. uuo enso was tried iu tho federal circuit court at Portland, occupying six days. At each of these trials tho company's attorneys had tho audacity to put forth auow the officially rejected derailment theory, endeavoring to support tho same by a multitude of its witnesses. In each case it was appareut when thoovldenee was in it was apparent mat tnero was nothing for tho Jury to do but assess the damages for injury sustained. In tho circuit court of tills county Mrs. Jano Clark, of Grant's Pass, secured a verdict of ?2000. Julius Kumli, of Eugene, got $1500; Louis Leonard, of Portland, got 13760. In the United States court at Portland John Itauh, of Tacoma, got $10,000. The Injuries were of different char acter, but all were seriously and some permanently injured. Tho verdict In all cases was based on re jection of tho oft-exploded derail ment theory. And in each case the verdicts wero entirely Inadequate and iiiMUlllcieut to compensate actual losses from tho lujury sustained. The verdicts would have been double what they are and much more nearly compensatory, had thera not got onto each Jury an only man, who persistently labored to bring tho llguro down to as near uothlug us J10 could, against tho conscientious estimate of damages mado by the eleven. Tho Journal has gone Into these details to recall publlo attention to the correctness of its original posi tion, and reveal the powerful forces which tho individual lias to contend with In trying to get his rights, against a railroad corporation. State Teacher's Au'u at Newjiorl. Krom our own oorrexpondeul. The department of superinten dence convened in thooporu house at 830 p. m., June Sfllli, with Supls.

MORNINO SRSSION. Tuesday, Juno 30. Convention called to order by Prof. Yoder, and the committee on guiding county schools submitted Its report through tho chairman, Supt. Reynolds, and tho matter was thoroughly discussed. At 1:30 p. in. the convention was called to order by tho president, forty-five persons present. Supt. Wotrell gave forcible and timely suggestions upon the importance of careful woi k in tho lower brunches as a foundation also upon the teacher's Influence In forming char acter. President Campbell followed him with the idea we wero educat ing citizens, aud as a nation can better afford to educate than to puulsh. Wo should look to it our teachers wero something moro than plasterers, covering tho child's chor ueter with littlo patches of educa tion, as 110 stream can rise above its fouutuin. After the discussion of Supt. Yates' ideas upon the duties of Bitpciinteu detits, during which many bright tilings wero said, Prof. Horner, secretary of tho S. T. R. C reported three hundred members, sovonty llvo of whom had read the course of 181)1, and twenty hud completed that of 1800 and 1801 and would bo en titled to diplomas. Tho committee on books recommended Kellog's School Management, Frcy's Geogra phy aud Sand modellngaudGordy's Psychology, for tho next year's work, utter which tho convention adjourned for ouo year. Veracity Not a Matler of Sei. Philadelphia Receid: An Eng lish judge has lately declared that "more untrustworthy evidence is given by women ten times over thau by men," and his sweeplug asser tion, resting ou nothing but judicial bumptiousness of tho Judge Star leigh type, is being thoroughly impeached by tho press of thut country. If it bo true, as u statesman has said, that it is impossible to indict a nation, nut less Impossible would it bo to indict u sex. Thut women as witnesses lu courts of law may lack tho perspicacity of men is possible that their testimony in somo other respecta may be less satisfactory to hard legal mlnda is equully possible. There tire apeciul reasons why It should bo so. Women uro unaccus tomed to legal fot ins; they uro moro leudily contused by a port attorney's questions; they uio unacquainted with tho fiuo shades of technical meaning Used iu legal inquiries; and thoy uro more nervous than men usually are. But that thoy uro moro addicted to perjury than men, in England or anywhere, Is an asper elon on tho sex which tho records of any penitentiary will refute. Tho British Judge is himself u bearer of false testimony, either from n habit of too hasty generalization or an incapacity to express his meaning ck-arlyj and ho is singularly lacking in tho temperament which should rule one lu Ills exalted station, A Seattle Telegraph correspondent from Auacortcs writes: "A wet blanket dropped upon tho city coun cil deliberations tho other evening lu tho shape of an announcement ou the part of tho corporation coun sel that owing to tho fact that tho city had been Incorporated after tho time required by law lor tho assess ment of properly for taxing pur posts, tho city would not bo in it financially for the next six mouths, Steps will bo taken immediately, however, to lloat scrip on as low Interest us possible until tho expira tion of tho tlmo required by law, und then to bond tho city In a sufll clout sum to pay tho debt thus accumulated uud proceed with the necessary Improvements. Tho visit of President Oakes uud Ills party resulted lu u crop of such brilliant promises concerning industries and manufactories to ho established along the water front as to give renewed hope to tho discouraged and eauho the citizens to Involun tarily glanco toward tho water line each morning, half expecting to see huge volumes of smoko curling sky ward, built lu a night ou the Alad din lamp process. After awhile this living on promises will play out und somobody will get hungry for moro substantial fare." There is every reason to expect u gieatly increased attendance to the state fair tills year. Crops generally are good, prices are more sutlsfuclory than usual und when tho agricult urists are prosperous there Is always sure to bo u largo attendance at slate fuirs. Besides, the state has re ceived a very heavy Immigration the past year, uud nearly all the new comers will wish to visit Salem during tho fair, as In no better way can they gain satisfactory Informa tion regarding tho agricultural re sources of the uiunlry. The dUplay of breeders, racing animals, and live stoik of avery description will fur surpatw anything ever known at any previous state fair Iu Oregon. There Jm been great Improvement lu ull part of llio state In tho herd of tho stock raiser, and Oregon can now hoatt of as linu atock u any of tho Pacific count Mate.
