A few nights since Peter the poet had
a remarkable dream. The vision of
OeneralJackson rising from his grave
and reading the democratic platform of
1892. His brow looked like a thunder
ininnfl hio avna ornfA lichr.nintr. and the
scorn of his countenance raised acres of
democratic hair around him. Flinging
away the mouldy shreds of his winding
sheet, jumping upon the modern plat-
e . : .1. V. U f..nt anil i. il .1 1 n f Vila
lUrlll 1 Lii UUtH ICGb, - J
Jong, bony arms, he thundered thus into
acres of waving ears : "How dare you
. insert in your platform that plank pro
claiming a protective, tariff unconstitu
tional! By doing so you have terrified
your candidate for the presidency' eo
that he dare not indorse the plank, and
instead of standing heroically upon his
party platform, there he fluctuates, hes
itates and straddles ! He is like a hen
between a nest of eggs and a nest of por
celain door-knobe, uncertain which
should he sat upon! Ha! I'll make
your acres of hair rise, ye horde of office-
hunting apostates ! Since the formation
of the pood old Federal government no
other nartv has declared a protective
tariff unconstitutional : OH, latter-aay
democrats, let me howl in your acres of
-waving ears that I disown you, and then
"let me retire to my chamber!"
The Press Association banqueters at
-Spokane all made terse pointed speeches.
The soul of" the party was the petite and
vivacious Miss Laura Stanton of the
Portland World. Miss Stanton fell
promptly in love with Spokane and al
most wept when the hour came for fare
wells. Col. Eddy said that it was true
many of those present from Oregon were
editors of obscure papers, but he called
attention to the fact that these country
papers exercise an influence in the home
circle that in time stirB the pulses of the
commonwealth. He said that he was
glad to be given an opportunity to look at
Spokane, a city that had grown up in a
- night, such a magnificent dwelling place
growing up out of the wilderness.
Prof. Thomas Condon, the geologist in
the State university, designates the re
gion known as Southern Oregon so as to
include Lake and Klamath counties on
the east, Douglas, Coos and Curry conn
ties on the weft, and Jackson and Jose
phine on the south. This gives to
Southern Oregon, seven out of the six
teen counties of the first congressional
district.
L. G. Carpenter one of the shysters
arrested for inciting Darius Norris to
leave Astoria against his will, was let off
by Judge Hubbard in San Francisco
Saturday, because the warrant issued by
Gov. Pennoyer was defective, in that it
did not set forth the sworn statement in
regard to the alleged offense for which
Oaroenter was wanted in Oregon.
Everything has been a failure this
year strikes, cholera, Sullivan and pol
itics; yes, everything has been a failure,
except our national prosperity, and no
adverse hap or occurrence has been able
to feaze that. Prosperity is suecess ; it
is better than all else.
Editor Kaiser of the Ashland Record
baa taken great interest in giving Pen
noyer's big speech wide circulation, for
which the governor is truly grateful
anything that will make his old ally the
democratic party sick, is pleasing to
him.
Queen Victoria will no longer replen
ish her larder by pursuing the bounding
stag aided by thoroughbred hounds
which cost the nation $50,000 a year to
keep. "The queen has concluded to sell
the dogs and fall back on American beef.
Mr. James G. Blaine has already out
lived many of the people who assassin
ated him in 1884, and he bids fair to out
live those other crocodile fellows "who
have been predicting his death for the
.last eight years.
The Pennsylvania Eecord says : Gov
ernor Pennoyer of Oregon is now a pop
ulist and is ready to climb into the same
band wagon which is now bowling along
with Governor Buchanan toward the
alley of obscurity.
. It is reported that a newly designed
airship can travel in the air. The fact,
if proved, will stamp it at once as a
unique and extraordinary invention of
its class.

The owner of Mascot knows very well

ALAS FOR ALASKA.
According to Gov. Knapp Alaska is
. g. In his annual report-be eays the
ack of proper transportation facilities
is a serious hindrance to the prompt and
efficient administration of the laws of
the territory. Rosy hued reports of
Alaska as an agricultural Eldorado, eays
he, should be read with allowance. It
seems wrong to tempt poor men to in
vest their all in traveling expenses to
reach a land where disappointment and
hardship await him, and the governor
considers it hiB duty to urge conserva
tism in organizing colonization schemes
for settlement of the territory.
As to the seal islands, the governor
says, in part: International complica
tions regarding the taking of seals in
the ocean and Behring sea outside the
three-mile limit have added to the em
barrassment of the lessee company in
its business upon the islands, which has
already been seriously impaired by the
wanton destruction of seal life by pelagic
sealing. Only 7,500 seals were author
ized by the government to be killed on
the islands in 1891, but some 6,000 were
slaughtered before the order was given
so in all 13.500 were actually killed. It
was deemed necessary to allow this iium
ber for the DurDose of securing the car
casses for food for the natives, who
otherwise could suffer. The governor
believes it not an overestimate that the
52-.0S7 seals taken in the ocean in 1S91
indicates the destruction of 30,000 more
three-fourths of which were females
Of the whole catch the Victoria fleet is
stated to have taken 43,502 and the
American fleet 8,858.
Through frequent references to them
in the press, the reading public are
well acquainted with the doings of Chris
Evans and John Sontag, the noted Cal
ifornia outlaws, but no one imagined
that a newspaper man would hunt them
out and interview them, but this is
what Henry Bigelow, of the San Fran
cisco Examiner, claims to have done,
and the last issue of that paper contains
a page of what purports to be an inter
view with the noted robbers and sangui
nary desperadoes. The fugitives tell a
complete story of their doings ever since
they sought safety in flight, and, al
though they have killed several of their
pursuer?, they claim that they spared
the posses a (ore of times when they
wight have added to the lift of killed
had they so desired. The outlaws ridi
cule the officers who are making a pre
tense of capturing them, and style them
a pack of cowards. They are both in
the best of health, and have ample pro
visions to last them during the winter.
The reporter claims that their strong
hold is almost inaccessible, and that
they will be able to baffle all pursuit for
a long time to come, so familiar are
they, with the rugged country which
surrounds them. Bigelow says the
settlers about the vicinity of the des
peradoes haunt, are particularly down
on the posse who have been saucy and
mean to them as they passed through
the country.
P. J. Connolly, "Peter the poet," at
Klamath falls, could not come to the
Press Association convention as much
as he desired, as the interest of Iris Star
was in the ascendency.

Judge Lynch Vindicated.
Southern' Oregonians and Northern
Californians have discovered a new way
of dealing ' with ' emotional insanity;
Smith, the man lynched at Castella for
killing his wife and child, was a cool,
thoughtful fiend. In order to prepare a
plea of insanity on which to get clear
after the murder, he told the people be
fore the butchery that he was crazy and
could get people to' prove that insanity
ran in his family. But it ran up a tree
in his individual case, eays the Star, and
now that people similarly afflicted have
got onto the fact that Shasta and Siski
you counties have a way of treeing the
varmint, there will be less of it in the
future in that neighborhood.
The corpse was taken down from the
limb to which Judge Lynch had hoisted
him for the mrirder of his wife and child,
and held an inquest on him. One clause
makes the verdict the most remarkable
ever uttered in a civilized land. It reads
thus:
"He came to his death by strangula
tion, and the same was caused by parties
unknown to the jury, and ice exhonerate
the parties concerned." .
Judge Lynch is now all right. It is
true he has often choked the innocent,
but legally constituted judges have ten
times oftener let off the guilty. The
jury probably felt as millions feel, namely
that Judge Lynch deserved much more
appreciative regard than he has hitherto
received. The legal letting down of
murderous malefactors before they are
dead is growing alarmingly habitual and
commonplace. . At the same time we
snatch this occasion to contradict
Shakeepear.'who said: "There's nothing
lett remarkable beneath . the visiting
moon." The fact that a coroner's jury
has, with one breath, swept from the
shoulders of Judge Lynch every load of
blame placed upon them, is something
remarkable, showing, as it does, that a
coroner's jury is greater than a state
legislature.
