That kind of an exclu sion law itl stand against conspira tor to smuggle, and the United States might well emulate Corea's example. The tier. Dr. Wallace, of the Con gregational church m Portland, gained considerable cheap notoriety last Ban day by bis attack upon the Potter-Bel lew theatrical company, and by so doing very successfully advertised the latter. The preacher would better liave followed the text for which be receives a handsome salary, than to Wander away rtpon subjects which are strictly none of bis business and for which he receives no pay or even thanks. If the newspapers and politicians of the State would bottle dp their sea atonal speculations and trim their at tention to the work the legislature ought to do that of making fletter laws the country would appreciate their efforts to a greater extent. It ia true Oregon needs to elect a United States senator, but better jaws l-e par amount to everything else. The elec tion of a senator is a very small mat ter compared with other Work of the session, yet ten times more attention ia usually paid to the former than the latter. The next legislative a-eemb!y will be composed of men elected to seite tb people instead of the bones, knd it ia the duty of every newspaper and every citizen to Urge the fulfill' rnent of these expectations from new ttntil the session is over. Tbehx could be nothing more ri diculous than the mode of proced ure in the trial of Santo', the assassin of president Carnot, of France, which took place last week. 1 be prisoner defended himself in the most impu dent manner, and laughed the judge to scorn Whenever it suited his pleasure. Santo did not deny having committed the awful crime, and went into detail to explain the whole affair, never ex pressing regret at having done the horrible deed and ridiculed the court ton every opportunity. Being asked about bis choir-boy days, when be represented John the Baptist in a church procession, be said : "1 was a child them and children, rou know, unwittingly act Stupidly,, How an outraged people can : tol erate such actions in the trial for auch an offense is beyond our imaginaton. Santo, however, was found guilty after few minutes deliberation by the jury. Ths shooting of John Bain on Bcappoose, on July 28th, was, perhaps, tbeblaader of an inexperienced offi cer in a moment of excitement, Con stable Fowler's Statement is a very plausible one. So also, are the differ ent reports of other member of the constable's posse. Bat they all con flict with each other and with the evidence adduced at the coroner's in quest. There is one thing, however, that the people seem to be as a unit upon, the country is rid of a very bad character. ' The worst feature of the affair ia in the fact tbat after the 'shooting and the officers had every reason to believe they had mortally1 Wounded their man they did not makes search tor him but instead left the scene and never did go back to investigate as to Whether their vic tim was dead or not, leaving it possi ble for him to lay in agony in bis own blood orb rotting in the hot sun, only to be found five dnys later by the vii tw inst locality. snsnsoirs covtardics. The absence of Vic President Stevenson at the critical juncXtrr' in' the tariff controVerfy places him in the position ot having Intentionally iicklected hm dutv. Even under or dinary circumstances, he should have been present; and in this case, the cirounistance were extraordinary. The fate of the pending bill was trembling in the balance in fact,- the whole matter ot tariff legislation was at stake and the casting Tot was needed to determine the result. There were three successive lied roll calls. and the officer clothed with power to settle auch a dispute, off on a vacation. It 1 not to be doubted that ho appre hended a situation of this kind aud went sway on purpose to avoid it. He remained at his post throughout the proU ng d d )bai and during all the negotiating on the subject, and theu as the crisis approached he suddeuly disappeared. The explanation is easy. He is a candidate for the presidency, and so does not c ue to put himself on record. It is well understood tbat he sympathise witb the anti-Cleveland side, and would have voted with it had lie been present; but he did not have the courage to stand his ground and take the chances of injuring his polit ical prospects. There will be hut one opinion as to thia flagrant dodging of responsibility. A vice president Who deliberately evades the only duty of his office that baa any Importance is not the kind of a man whom the people will look upon with any favor as a candidate for pres ident Instead of making friends by his cowardly course, he has made enemies. Neither Win ar of his party will respect him for a trick so obvious ly dictated by selfish motives. Of all men in the country, he was the one under most obligation to remain where his vote might become, as it did be come, necessary to break the tie. He waa well a are of the close nature of the contest, and it will not do iof him to plead surprise as to what ensued A tie was smong the evident probab 1 ities, and he absented himself on that account. He not only deserted his party in a serious emergency, and left it to get along as best it could Without his assistance, but he also failed to perform an imperative office duty. It is hardly to be suppos i that the dem ocrats will consider such conduct a good recommendation for further pref erment. Tbey will surely not be dis posed to enter the next presidential contest nnder the leadership of a man Who lias thus disparaged himself. It is entirely safe, therefore,- to predict that from this time forward, Steven son a chances of capturing the presi dential nomination in 1896 will gradu ally diminish. Globe-Democrat.

It would create a cash market for all the agricultural products, coal) lumber and munitions of War this country could produce. And further, it would suspend the immense influx of immigration flowing into the Uni ted Stales from those countries. It would start the wheels ,f our factor ies, mills and shops, and create an ex- ten dive demand for all products of American labor. A war between the countries of Asia and Europe would be a complete solution of the financial question at this time. No one can doubt the result of such a conflict and there seems little doubt that such a war is organized or will be in a Very short time. X Besrbrted by Coroner' Coroeltwa, ' in Saturday' Oretowtaav : Short on Valor and long on disc re Hon ar tbs able-bodied Inhabitants of Bonser' landing;, Multnomah' oounty. On week go today six ot therm went to' an adjacent mountain to arrest a man whom they sus pected of theft. They found him, but in stead of auietly submitting to capture he drew a revolver. The leader ot th party a duly-tlected constable, ordered his com rades to tfre. They obeyed tha mandate, and their human target fell with two holes through his body. He had made such a desperate fight that they Were afraid to go near Mm to ascertain whether h wa-deud and they returned to Burner's landing to xplo it their heroism. Five days later it occurred to on of them that the roan had been given sufficient tint to die of his Wounds, ane) that th coroner should be given chance to earn a dollar so a tele- Itram was forwarded to Coroner Cornelius noli tying him that there was a certain corpse whost whereabouts could b learned by applying at Homer's landtna. The cor' oner went to th place where th (hooting occurred, and found th body so badly da- composed that he burried it where it lay. Then be retiirtted to rlortser's landing and held an inquest. Justifiable homicide was th verdict. Such Is th outline ot th story told by th coronar whan u arrived in th cfty yesterday morning, Th de tails are equally interesting: John Bain wis th nam of tb man. who even in death, was feared by th citisens ot Bodser's lanalug. He was famed as dan- iterous fellow U along tb river. When he honestly earned a living it was as a deck' band. Several years ago he brained a man with a hatchet, at Astoria, and for th crime was sentenced to a long term at Salem. In oetltial, bnt niisaotded relay lives, got him pardoned Wben he had been in the penitentiary long enough to realise the error of bii former ways, but he re turned to desperadoisin as soon as he was released. About nine months ago Bain began re tiding with a Mrs. Mote in S cabin about three and a half miles back of Bouser's landing, and then troabl commenced to visit US hdneat people residing in that vi cinity. Things were atuieu from them, and they could form no other Conclusion than that Bain was the thief. This suspicion strengthened to such an extent that the constable of Bonder's landing and bis posse went out to search the Max cabin for stolen goods. 1 It as about 4 O'clock last Saturday after noon that tb searching partv met Bain. He was encountered a short distance from the cabin, and had a gunny sack strapped across his shoulder. Ha asked tha posse what ita business might be, and th con stable told him. Bain Immediately drew a revolver from the gunny sack, and tb con table ordered his men to shoot. They obeyed, and on of th bullets entered Bain's chest and eru rged from the middle of his back. Meantime be Was blazing away with his six-shooter, but for a profes sional "bad man" he was a miserably poor shot, not one of his bullets taking Intended effect. W it his pistol was emptied he turned and ran about fifty feat to where a shotgun was lying, and, as he rnn, a bullet struck him between tb shoulders and passed through the heart. Even then be was onconqhered, for be picked op the shotgun and cocked both barrels, but ere could pall the triggers he fell face down ward, tha weapon underneath him. In that position th corpse lay , until the cor- encr found it, five days later. At the inquest the constable and his men confessed that ibey did nut know how long Bain lived after he fell, because tbey did not feel like approaching him to ascertain where be bad been shot. They fled the scene, and one of them , who stumbled and fell, was so badly scared that he lay pros trate quite a while. When tbey got over their fright they went to the cabin, and ther found Quite an assortment hi nlnnd, They took it back to Bonser' landing, evi dently not caring whether tb man wh tbey shot down was already dead or would slowly die of his wounds It was anything but a pleasaiit experience for the coroner. From Bonser "s landisa he rod two mile in a wagon, then he was compelled to walk the test of th distant to the cabin, kud helpui. assistant to canW the cdffin, which he hsd brought from Portland . . The stench arising from Bain'l body was so sickening that immediate in- terrmtnt was necessary. Since anarchy and riot have been frowned down in this country "the gates of Cattle Garden swing outward instead of inward." What a pity the gates are not twice as large. -, .

" Tha commencement of war between China and Japan, and tbn possibility of protracted trouble, has already had a stim ulating effect on the floor trade of the Pa cific Northwest with tbs Orient; and the chance are good that) in case of a pro longed struggle, other important industries will re benefitted. Mr. Frank Woolsey agent at Portland Of the Northern Pacific Steamship Company, plying between Puget Sound points and the Orient, is In pert apt a good a position as any other to know just what the effects bare already been. In response to inquiries Mondayt he said: "It is not possible, of course, to tell nst how long th War Will last-, or tn give a deS nite opinion a to what ths effects will be. I can say, however, tbat our flour ship ments to Hong Kong are already increasing. I am not prepared to say that it has been In consequence Of the war, bat I suppose certain consignees in Hong Kong are buy ing larger suppliei than usual on that ac count. Of course we do not know that the flour is to be supplied directly to either of the belfgerents. Hong Kong, as you know, is an English port, and therefore neutral in the contest. Ho article ot commerce sent to an English or other merchant at tbat point can be considered contraband. As a matter of fact-, China is bat a very small consnmer of floor, and the trad of Hong Kong merchants in that lin Is with the straits' settlements. But, as I said, th war seems to bars Indirectly to have In fluenced ths flonr trade of th Orient, and shippers ar securing tbs advantage." State School Apportion meat.

War between China and Japan , therefore, must to some extent Implicate Kussia. With Rossi mixed up in tb squabble, other Xuropeai nations will naturally take a hand. Should tha United State and European nations combine to prevent China and Japan fighting, it is interesting to think what a tremendous demonstration ot fore these allied nation could make.
