United States court at Portland

fraud the Uuitod States by pro-
have been perpetrated in Ore- eood nature or corrupt conniv-

where opportunity, goffers . r Yet
those who really-know the com
mon people of Oregon, know
tjhat heyt detest eucJh rascality
aa vigorously as it is K possible
for honesty to abhor meanness.
There .are transactions that have
smirched the good name of Ore

during theVusinu&s. transactions
between private .citizens , and
United States 1 officials, wherein
the people 'hay ; uo voice or
hand,' and of which they have
no knowledge or means of know

suspicions. may. have been that

fect on the mode of securing
public lands, and secure the
United States from future im
position, which will be . very
gratifying to the general public,
and especially so to the U. S,
omcials in charge of the Land
Department. To the mass of
the people of Oregon the result
of the trial has been emphatic
ally pleasing, . as it . refutes the
assumption! largely accredited
as true in other states and more
pronounced in Washington City
that people, of Oregon are so cat
oused in conscience that they
look, i f not frith favor, , at least
with indifference upon the per
petrators of the most outrageous
frauds upon the general gov
ernment; or in other ords,
that public, opinions ia. Oregon
sustains "lend grabbing.".. TV
There are, 1 unfortunately or
the good name " of Oregon, too
many facets that, can be cited of
most vUHauom transaction that
cause they had no legal medium
through which to operate. In
other words'they have ' no legal
right to become inspectors , of
tbe U. a' Land .Offices and in
frnera on wrong doing there
in. . ... ., ,. .. u
Tbe fact that' m a court in
Oregon, presided j over by, a
judge .that; came tai Oregon so
early in life that he is practical
Iy a native, of the ( state, and bjr
the way a democrat, with a jury
selected from : the body of the
county, wth moat probably
mixed politics, coovicted the
accused is demonstration . that
public opinion in Oregon does
not sustain -wrpng . doing ' and
fraud against . the government,
and that the people of Oregon,
when they have a legal right to
express their disapproval of un
lawful acts, will do so in lan
guage most emphatic.
. Just how far reaching the ef
ects Vt this trial will be is not
yet determinable, or how many
or, those who by , their carelesa
mony at the trial revealed, will
be held responsible for the
smirch the fair name of the
tat&ohaa received, remains for
people to determine. But it is
auite evident that ths class of
minor officers, notary publics,
U. S. Commissioners, and coun
ty clerks that are clothed by the
law! with , ihe important power
to administer oaths aud certify
to the appf ar ance before the m ,
will in the future b more ce,re-
