It Is peculiarly notablo that, In the organization of forces for tho ap proaching city campaign, thoso who desire a chango in tho local adminis tration again appeal to ox-Sonnlor Joseph Simon as tho Moses to lend tho minority party out of the wlldor Hess. Tho general plea upon which Is bnsed tho appeal by a fow for a chango Is tho fact that Senator Mitch oil has been Indicted by a federal grand Jury as a member of tho Putcr McKInlcy land-fraud gang. Under cover, however, tho forco behind the movomont Is composed of tho gam bling and tho red-light elements whoso operations tho prcsout administration has practically suppressed. And yet theso allcgod "reformers" possess I he temerity to ask tho church element to support their purpose I There Ih Simon politics for you! Tho fact that Sonntor Mitchell has boon Indicted doesn't mean ncccssar lly that Senator Mitchell Is guilty; and thoso who nro now attempting to Induco tho public to prc-Judgo his caso will fall mlsorably and loso Htrcngth by a contemptible effort to tako advantage of circumstances for which tho senator Is very probably In no way responsible. Thnt Is u species of cheap politics, of which this com munity has soon much. It docs not appeal to tho public conscience. It possesses no vlrtuo. It belongs be low tho dead-line. Its forces might well all bo bunched in tho Paris House That's Kb character. The pot-houso politicians who aro behind it are of tho pettiest kind. Their In fluence in it alone ought to kill the movement deader than a door-nail. Simon and hla cohorts, it Is said, will uttompt to capturo tho primaries. That, ot courao, will bo nocossary to uccoss. Should ho fall in that, how ever, ho will try to effect a fusion with tho democrats and tho reform forces. That Bounds vory Slmon-llkc again. Dut tho Idea Hint tho olomcnt behind Simon's ambition could hope to Inlluenco tho rofonn people Is In deed refreshing. Simon, tho real leader in tho movo mont for n ro-drgnnlzntlon of local political forces, does not dure to ap pear In tho opon. If a man bo tho leader In a righteous cause, why may ho not appear before tho people to whom ho appeals for support? Tlmt'H bushwhacking. But this great char- actor on tho chessboard of politics knows that there aro many persona in terested in tho outcome of local cam paigns who remember tho history of former campaigns uudor hla leader ship. Tho entlro movomont Hmncks ol politics of n very cheap and, by the wuy, a very dangerous order. No one will question tho prpprloty of an lion orublo contest between two or more political factions or partloa for su premacy; but tho public in general Is certainly not In sympathy with 1hib1i. whacking politics 11 fact with which ex-Senator Simon and his friends ought to bo vory familiar. Tho attempt to tako advantage of Senator Mitchell at his time will serve only to Increaso the friendship for him of thoso who havo heretofore boon his friends. A man who has served Ills Btuto and his country so omlnontly as has Senator Mltcholl cannot bo down ed by perjured testimony, THIS DAY OF INSURANCE. In this day of action in ovory ave nue ot human effort it is difficult tc follow conditions an thoy dovelop, nc matter how Interesting- the results might bo; but it Is observablo that liyglonlo progress has been rapid dun lug tho past few years, and yet in many parts of tho country tho death rato increases, Somo say that the world is growing: inoro wicked every day and cite the fact abovo suggested, alleging that fast living is killing nioro people than disease It may be that gout has bocomo a prevalent nil neat aad that it Bhould bo counted among the evil elomenta that go to make up fast living. But thoso Uvea that are so recklessly thrown away are all worth, something; thoy wore ' " born for a purpoae, whether they sue-1 ceeded In accomplishing It or not. If they failed In life, but wero Insured in some of our big and reliable Insur ance companies, for a considerable sum, they succeeded at last, although "they had to dlo" to accomplish It. Not all of the Insurance companies are what they claim to bo, as Is shown by failures, litigation and tho almost endless troublo that follows. There fore, It Is profltablo and not alto gether uninteresting to study Insur ance statistics and insurance methods occasionally. In looking over tho records and his tory of somo of our largest compan ies, tho careful Inquirer will not fall to find that Tho Prudential Is prnc tlcally at tho top of tho list. In its nnnual Btatemcnt mado January 190C, Its nsscts are shown to bo 88, - 7C2.30G.17 an enormous Bum. Its surplus to policy holders nlonc nmountB to $13,325,800.33 another enormous sum In that department of Its business, Under tho careful direction of Man agor Robert S.

Tho company Is stronger financially and stronger in tho confl denco of tho people thnn ever before spirited and most honorablo In every In Its history; and yet It has alwnye avcntio of action.

Tho oil trust Is having a hard time of It. Tho states are getting into the fight against tho octopus, the Illinois legislature being tho last to "rcsoluto" 'against It. LITTLE BY LITTLE, General Nog! would better stay with his sword, if the "poem" which has been telegraphed over tho country Is a fair sample of his genius as a poet. Ho can command an army In deadly conflict better than ho can write verse. Senntor Mitchell, who will reach Portland about March 12, Intends to Insist on an early trial ns his right. Ho declares that Prosecuting Attor ney Hcncy promised It am) tho sen ator will sec whether or not the pros ecutor Is a man of his word. Qugllclmo, thoTnurdcr of his sweet heart In this city, has for many long months been holding onto llfo like grim death; but now ho faces grim death, tho dato of his execution on the gallows not having yet been an nounced. Ho should have been hang ed long ngo, The two factions of the prohibition clement havo finally agreed upon an other thing nnd that Is that they will advise against calling nny elec tions under tho local option law In Juno of the present year In counties, cltlcB nnd precincts, snvo where elec tions are being held for other pur poses, A special federal grand Jury hns been ordered .to convene at Chicago for tho purposo of Investigating the Infamous beef trust. This Is tho first posltlvo step tnken formally to sup press this outrageous combination. Tho likelihood Is that many prominent members of tho combluo will be In dicted. The federal grand Jury Is not yet through with alleged transgressors of tho law. It will convene In April further to prosccuto Its Investigations. Tho trials of hose indicted have prob ably been postponed until May. By that time tho fcdornl court will have moved buck to Its old place In the fed eral building proper. The bills recently passed by the leglalaturo authorizing tho school su perintendents to hold an annual con vention at tho expense of tho stato; creating the olllco of deputy fish war den, mid tho deputy constablo bill have been vetoed by tho govornor, whoso reasons for so doing will bo en doraed by tho public generally, no doubt. Tho question as to 'whether or not tho county clork can legally open the icglstrntlon books for tho direct pri maries preceding the city election In Juno will be determined In tho courts, Mayor Williams having directed Clt Attorney McNary to Institute Injunc tion proceedings against tho county clerk at once. It will bo u teat case for the final adjudication of the mat tor. a Judge A. II. Tanner, Sonntor Mitch ell's law partner, who played n pecul iar part before the grand jury In the ullcged case against tho senntor, hns notified tho latter that he desires to withdraw from the firm. This ought to please Senator Mitchell. But, a lit tle later on, Judge Tnnnor may find himself very much nlono when It comes to submitting proof of his al legations concerning tho senator. Tho latter has not discharged Ills private aecretary. Harry C. Robert son, aB many predicted he would do. Governor Chamberlain hns appoint ed Hon.'Snmuol White, of Baker City, circuit Judge of tho eighth Judicial district, created by tho recent session of tho leglalaturo; Hon. Claire Craw ford ns prosecuting nttornoy for the tenth Judicial district, nnd Hon. L. T. Harris, a well-known republican, ns assoclato Judgo with Judge Hamilton In tho second Judicial district. Judgo Hamilton Is a democrat, and tho gov ernor appointed a republican to bo as sociated with him on the ground that our Judiciary should bo non-partisan a suggestion with which everybody concerned, except those democrats who sought the position, will heartily agree. a " Tho President's cabinet, after a consultntlon, agreed that no nioro ap pointments should bo mado in Ore gon until after tho trial of tho land fraud cases; but tho president told Senntor Fulton that whonevor ho de sired to havo nn appointment mado tc go directly to him; that the appoint ments should not bo held up and that his recommendations wjll be received nnd given duo consideration at any time tho sonator would be pleased tc make thorn. Hon. Frank C. Baker is now en route to Washington to assist Senator Fulton In filling somo of the places. Thero are not many import ant appointments to make, howover, at this time, besides tho postmasters. The "walking delegate" would bet ter bo made to tako a walk out of tho city. Ho Is a dangerous Inter meddler. As a matter of fact he might bo convicted of vagrancy, for ho certainly has no legitimate means of support. The law cannot recog nlzo tho peripatetic trouble-maker, It appears to us, ns having a legitimate occupation. It Is entirely proper for any organization to promote Its In terests and Increase Its membership, to bo Biirc, but not nt tho sacrifice of tho Interests of others, it cannot be said to bo wrong for tho employer tc protect his Interests or tho Interests of those for whom ho employs, as In tho present flurry nt the Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds, for In stance; but It would bo wrong for him to attempt to promotcthose Interests nt tho cost of the Inborcr. In the case cited, however, It said that no discon tent had been expressed, s6 far ae known, until tho wnlklng delegate carno along to mnko trouble In order' to earn his salary. That's why the walking dclcgntc Bhould bo mado to walk. POPULAR TALKS ON LAW. Copyrighted by Wm. C. Sprnguo, Pros Idont of Tho Sprnguo Corres pondence School of Lnw. Defence of One's House. In our Inst talk we discussed self defence. Akin to the right of a man to defend himself against nn unlawful attack Is tho right to defend his homo. Tho constitutions of twenty soven of tho states provide that one has a naural right to protect his prop orty. "A man's houso," says tho old law, "Is his castte, and ho mny take such steps as are reasonably ncces sary In tho defenco thereof ngnlnst un lawful Intrusion." Indeed tho lnw re gards nn assault on a man's hnblta Hon for u felonious purposo ns an as sault on his person or on tho person of an occupant. Ono Is never bound to retreat from his homo, nnd In general may oven kill to prevent a forcible and unlaw ful entry. Tho exercise of the right to protect one's home must not ex cecd tho bounds, howover. of defence or protection, so thnt the kind ol forco that ono may use depends some what on tho naturo of tho attack and the purposo of It. Whero nn entry Ie by forco and the purposo of It Is tc commit a felony, killing, If ncccssnr) to provont It, Is oxcuaablo and nny ono In tho houso, oven a lodger, Is Justified In tho protection of tho house by any means found necessary. One who has a rcusonnblo fear that a fel ony Is Intended need not wait until the nssnllant gets within tho house, but p-av meet tho Intriuior on the thresh old and use means fatal to tho assail ant If necessary to protect himself from death or great bodily Injury. If tho assailant, however, can bo repoll cd otherwise, and the ono assailed does not use nny other means of de fence, tho latter Is not Justified In kill lug. If tho Intruder flees tho person assailed Is not Justified In pursuing and committing an Injury. It Is hold' that the term "house" in eludes a place of business or u rent ed room occupied as a bedroom Where ono Is attacked In tho yard tho courts hold that ho should before taking llfo retrent Into tho houso. If thoro Is a rcnsounhlo opportunity sc to do. Whero ono hns peaceably en tered tho house tho owner or occu pant Ih not Justified In using force tc expel him, without first demanding oi requesting that ho leave; but where tho entry tvns by forco n preliminary request Is not necessary beforo using forco In ojcctlng tho Intrudor. Whore ono or mora persons usscmblo nbout a houso nnd tin eaten to break In, the occupant Is not Justified in shooting until ho gives warning. A man was held to bo Justified In killing where on returning homo nt night ho found tho door fastened against him, broko It open, entered and lu a fight that ensued killed the Intruder. It has been held thnt the act of entering nt a window In the night will not o.cuso tho uso of u deadly weapon without first warning tho Intruder to desist. Whero n house Is occupied in violation of law, as foi gambling purposes, tho occupant, or owner, cannot Justify forco used in putting out a porson from n gambling room for dlaorderly behavior. Decisions aro pretty well agreed that a man cannot defend his real property, other than his dwelling, tc tho extent of taking life; but in n Michigan case a building thirty-six feet nway from tho dwelling, In which the owner's servants slept, was de clared to bo u part of tho dwelling. As to personal property, ono may not tako llfo in defending his rights, save where the effort Is to doprive him of his property by a forcible felony such as robbery or burglary.
