In his groat speech at the audito

the prediction that the British would
not succeed in vanquishing the Boers.
The applause with which the vast au

its loyalty to freedom's cause.
The centennial celebration of the visit
of Op Urn -i Lewis and Clark to the
mouth of theColumbia, to fke place in
1905, will be one of the most important
events in the history of Oregon. It will
bring all the world in touch with the
lusty commonwealth, nestled at. the
great Pacific gateway of the West, and
whose future is crowned with golden
promise. The smaller and poorer cities
of the state cannot but heartily com
mend the energy and public spirit which
has prompted Mr. Corbett, II. W". Scoit
nnd other prominent citizens of Portland
to put their shoulders to the wheel, and
fill their hands with twenty-dollar
piece", to aid this great enterprise, whose
realization, through their liberality, is
now assured.

policy shops, 700 disorderly houses, 5000

can licenses Mayor Ashbridge of hav
ing t-tolen the city's streets. But to
such a profound depth of dishonesty
and dishonor has the republican party
fallen in Pennsylvania, that all the in
iquities that befoul the "Quaker City"
aro from the party's ethical point of
view, non-existent. Boss Quay had
the hardihood to say in his speech at
Plmeiiixville in 1890: "Pennsylvania is
hoiiost, her people arc honest, her offi
cials are honest. And of all this union
of states, Pennsylvania is the fairest,
and the happiest, and the moat intelli
gent, and tlio best governed."

FREEDOM OF MESS.
Kditor Courier-Herald :
If you will grant me a brief space in
your paper I should like to express a
presentiment that is impressing itself
upon tho common public at this time. 1
have heeu anxiously awaiting the ar
rival oi your paper the past few weeks
in the hopes that among the printed
untttor of its valuable pages, would be
seen tho expreSMvl opinion of some of
our "Ifladitig" men regarding the acts of
the national government in trying to
auppvets freedom of the press. But in
vain, Do they fear condemnation by a
republican press? Or are they In sympa
thy with such a movement? All, over
this republic there is an effort being
made at this time by the republican
party to throttle all opposition to theh
arbitrary power. Not satisfied with hon
orable victory, they are emboldened by
success, to use the instrumentalities of
the national government to crush evary
feeble remonstrance against tyrannical
aggressions. Will American freemen
long tolerate such arrogant, violation of
their constitution? Does the republican
party feel secure? Are the men who fer
mulate the principles of that party
Americans, and do they cherish Ameri
can instiiutions? Are they striving to
improve and perpetuate American ideas,
or are they purposely seeking to arouse
tbehatred of our people against the gov
ernment in order that it may oe de
stroyed and .upon its ruins be built the
glittering domes of empire? Our coun
try has come to a partingof the ways.
In one hundred years it has reached its
maturity as a republic. If it is true that
history repeat 8 itself, the next step is to
empire, and the republican party is the
advance agent. Dare they deny it? If
in these past one hundred years, .we, a
a nation of freemen, have grown more
ignorant, more immoral, more inhuman
and more dangerous as members of so
ciety, it is time that the republican lead
ers step forth and present the beauties
of empire with all the ardent power of
their wily natures. For Buch is the his
tory of past republics. If on the other
hand, pur noble country has grown and
advanced in intelligence, morality, hu
manity and Christianity, in these past
one hundred years, then it is the duty of
every lover of liberty, a free home and
free America, to forsake the dangerous
doctrines of the republican party, and
m ike it their common interest to lift to
a still higher plane, the immortal prin
ciple of equal rights to all and special
privileges to none. This is the purpose
of socialism or pure democracy. Is
there an American citizen within the
bounds of our republic who sincerely be
lieves that we have fallen, and are in
need of more despotic power in govern
ment? We think cot. Then let us
awaken from our slumber and make an
effort to do our duty not a'a partisans
but as free men and American citizens.
Respectfully,
Robert Gintheb

Judge Dunne admitted that the arti

objected to were clearly calculated to

Judge Dunne admitted that the cartoon
in evidence was prob.ibly libelous and
the articles pos-dbly so.
"Harsh criticism," Judge Dunne re
marked, "is one of the incidents and
burdens of public life. I see no reason
why a judge should be offered a differ

prints than a president or a governor or
a congressman. Criticism of a public
official, if just, will do good, if unjust
will do no harm."
