THE STING OF THE SCOKHON.
NewspajH'rs, as a . rule, do not
vary a great deal from the usual
run of human beings. The dif
ferent degrees of temperament,
the predominating characteristics,
the hate, the spite, the revengeful
nees, the influence for good or
bad, the basic principles of justice
to all associates, the peculiarities
of constitution, all these are dis
played sooner or later in a news
paper the same as in an individual.
More especially is this true of
metropolitan dailies, because their
treatment of a great scope of news
and their editorial expressions,
which etamp the character of the
aper on the public mind, are
displayed to greater breadth than
is possible in the other class of
smaller journals. Then, too, the
very nature of a metropolitan
daily, with an extended constitu
ency, is such that it fills the
position of a public pendulum,
swaying the populace, or at least
attempting to, first in one direct
ion, then in another as the
dictates of sound judgment sug
gest. The views which it holds
on general matters in the ma
jority of instances are the opinions
expressed by the bulk of the
people to which it caters in an
effort to guide the exigencies of
the public welfare.
Such then is the position main
tained by the average metro
politan daily and the treatment
which it accords its reading
public. On the 1 other hand,
standing in contradiction to the
general rule, there exists a class
of daily journals which amply
illustrate the other extreme. The
Oregonian is one of these. Laying
claim to a total elimination of
"yellowness," secure in itself from
a monoply brought to a close
after fifty years duration, stopping
short of nothing in an effort to
weave the narrow fiber of its cor
ruptly influenced vision, it spreads
its pages with articles of the deej
est saffron hue; articles wholly
unfounded, so far as facts are
considered, likewise depraved in
a moral sense and reeking with
the venom of a diseased spleen.
The Oregonian many times in
recent months has stooped to a
point beneath the dignity of either
man or newspaper in its effort to
bring destruction to that portion
of the state, or its residents, who
insinuations is the shrine upon
which the Oregonian in touching
humility offers to the public its
creed the representative and ex
ponent of "legitimate journalism.''
The gods are kind that suffer the
people to be so seduced.
The veracious Xewberg Graphic
is responsible for the story that a
a Xewberg couple, on starting to
i the city recently to visit a married
son, took with them a basket of
fresh eggs at leat-t they were fresh
whe then conductor took up the
Xewberg tickets. Somewhere down
the road Conductor Croker came
ambling along in the course of
time and was surprised at the well
known "cheep, cheep" of little
chicks. This much of the story
the Graphic will vouch for anil
will gladly refer any of a skepti
cal mind to a well known oilicial
of thai city. It is further intima
ted that when the train reached
the metropolis the Xewberg eggs
went on the market in the form of
young broilers. However, having
a reputation of veracity to main
tain, the Graphic assumes no res
ponsibility for the poultry after
they rolled into the Jefferson street
station.
Crook county will watch with
no little interest for the report
which comes from Lookout moun
tain next week when the first
cinnabar ore will be dumjed into
the new furnace for reduction
purposes. The result cf the
initial test will determine in a
measure the extent of Crook coun
ty's newest industry which, from
all present indications, point
towards a field of national promin
ence. Cinnabar is one of the
metals which of recent years has
been growing constantly less in
quantity and the mining world in
consequence is eager to receive
news of new districts from which
a reasonable amount of output
can be depended upon. It is to
be hoped that Crook county will
not disappoint the sanguine
anticipations so frequently ex
pressed during recent months and
unless nature herself has decieved
the eyes of comjietent men the;
county will be greeted with a re- j
port of bright veimiilion hue. !

SCOTT'S BLUDGEON
OVER WILLIAMSON
"Some one from the Oregonian
threatened Williamson that if he
would not vote for Scott for senat
or, the Oregonian would dig his
grave."
.Such was the sensational testi
were not in sympathy with its ! mony given yesterday afternoon
radical and vitriolic expressions.
It has assumed the position that
no man or portion of the state
shall be possessed of ideas in op
position to its own sordid ex
positions. The Oregonian has never ex
pressed any love for Crook county,
except perhaps in an occasional
mention of one of the local irriga
tion companies in which its editor
holds stock. Outside of that it
has shown hectic pleasure in
blackening the eyes of a county
which has struggled long and
faithfully in a ' handicapped pro
gress towards the front. Nothing
too base or contorted lias been
barred from its columns of public
ity and the cheek ciimson from a
slap has been turned away only to
receive in due'time a harder blow.
The Oregonian's motive is the
religious repugnance with which
it "views a politician in this dis
trict. That alone in its estima
tion is sufficient reason for it to
center its vilifying tactics towards
a dissolution of Crook county in
general, except this one irrigation
company mentioned. Politics has
blighted its vision, torn asunder
the cardinal principles of good
fellowship, and the result is a
permanent and serious injury to
the interior portion of the state,
The last move of the Oregonian,
against which the Business League
of this city took decisive steps,
illuminates with startling force
the baseness of the Portland
paper, and the depths to which it
will thrust its baiK. in an eft'ort to
undermine a community, falsifi
cation mixed with malignant,
in the trial of Williamson, (Jesner
and Biggs in the federal court,
and it has cast a new light on
Harvey W. Scott's famous gum
shoe campaign for the United
States senaton-hip in 100.', and on
the extraordinary hostility which
his paper has displayed to Wil
liamson ever since he was first
placed on trial.
Williamson was a member of
the state legislature two years ago
but steadfastly refused to vote for
Harvey Scott. According to the
story told by one of the witnesses
for the government in the pending
prosecution, an emissary of Scott's
"somebody that was interested
in the Oregonian" went to Wil
liamson and sought to coerce him
into casting his vote for the
editor. Because he would not do
so he was told that the Oregonian
would work his political ruin.
Campbell A. Duncan, a Crook
county ranchman, was the witness
from whose lips the revelation
came. In answer to the questions
of Judge Bennett, he told of a
conversation which he had with
Dr. Gesner, after the trial, in the
course of which the kilter gave him
the facts.'
"He said Scott I think the
editor of the paper had threaten
ed Williamson that if he did not
vote for Scott for senator he
would snow him under or dig his
grave," testified Duncan. "It was
not Scott that said it, but some
fellow that was interested in the
Oregonian some way or other."
"Some one that was interested
in the Oregonian had said that
they would dig Williamson's grave
