Charles A. Bishop, in the Supreme Court,
filed a motion for a new trial today on be
half of Eetson A. Balllet, Who was -found
guilty three weeks ago by a Jury In the

attorney. Joins with Judge Bishop In the
application for a rehearing of the case.
There are J9 counts in the motion. One
of the most sweeping charges in the paper
is that "the verdict is clearly the result
of passion and prejudice on the part of the
Jury trying the case." The defendant'3
attorneys declare that the "evidence In
this case falls to show that any oftrnse
such as that charged In the Indictment
was. committed by the defendant."
In conclusion the petition says: "The
court erred In instructing the Jury that
If defendant as a witness had not fully
explained matters material to the issues
In the case, and which were naturally
within his knowledge, then the Jury might
consider suth a circumstance as tending
to show that the facts, If explained; would
bear out the Contention of the Goverrf
went, and that his failure to explain them
Is against him."
The motion for a new trial has been
forwarded to Judge (Mund'er, of Omaha,

GREAT LAND ACTS.
"What the Republican Party
Done for the West.
Baa
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The homestead lawxir 1862, which -was
passed by a Republican Congress and
signed by a Republican President, peo
lled as large a tract as wag occupied jby
the Americans at the yme of the rec
ognition of the Independence of the
United States by George IIL The Na
tional Irrigation act, which 'has JUst
passed the Republican Congress, will add
an empire to the populated area of the
United States as great as was held by the
13 colonies at the battle of Lexington.
Ro'ughly stated, the arid lands of the
United States extend westward from the
100th meridian to the Pacific. They In
clude a large part of all the states and
the territories, beginning' -with the west
ern ends of- the two Dakotas, Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and stretch
ing onward almost to the great ocean.
East of that line most of the country is
classed as humid. It has 20 or more
inches of average annual rainfall. "West
of that line most of the region has a
rainfall of less than 20 inches. That is
the region which is covered by the irri
gation bill which "has Just been enacted.
In the ncIghborh.od"d of two-fifths Of
the entire contiguous part of the United
States, that Is to say. Is classed -as arid,
and to this vast expanse of territory the
new act will apply. Of course,," there Is
considerable, territory,. In Oregon, Wash
ington and California -"which has more
than 20 inches Of rainfall, and be
longs to the humid locality. Of course,
also, a large part of the arid belt con
sists of mountainous country, which can
not be utilized for agricultural purposes
by Irrigation or anything clfie, and no at
tempt will be made to reclaim IL But
the greater part of the area consists of
country which, needing irrigation, will
be benefited by it, and will be made at
tractive to settlers. The bill creates a
reclamation fund from the sale of pub
lic lands, which, after deducting the
amount due to local land offices and the
5 per cent duo to the states for educa
tional purposes fmder1 the existing laws,
will be applied to Irrigation. Manifestly,
the states could not do this work, and, of
course. It was utterly beyond the powers
of any of the minor political divisions of
the states to do it. The nrork had to be
performed by tho General Government if
"It was to bo performed at all.
This is a task of great National pro
portions, and will prove of National
benefit. It Is safe to predict that through
the operation of tho law just passed, and
through the further legislation which
this will render1 necessary, and which all
rectlons of the country will favor when
the time comes for It to be enacted, a
stretch of country capable .of supporting
15,000.000 or 20,000,000 of 4 people, who would
bo shut ut of It under existing con
ditions will be opened for settlement;
A vast empire will be added to the popu
lated area of the United States. This
work, which has been opposed by a few
Congressmen from the Eastern States, is
as necessary for the country's well-being
as were the National roads opened In the
West In the first balf of the 19th cen
tury. AH the states those on the east
side of the AllegHanlcs as well as those
to the west of the Missouri, v Arkansas
ond Red Rivers will be .gainers by the
irrigation act. This was not a partisan
measure, but a Republican President
urged It, a Republican Congress passed
It, and the party deserves the credit which
will come from Its enactment. The Na
tional irrigation act is a fitting supple
ment to the Republican homestead law of
40 years ago, which did so much to abol
ish the wilderness, arid which built up
thousands of communities and added mill
ions to the country's, population through,
out the great West.
VALUE OF COURTESY.
He Who Wonld Get on Best
Have Good Manners.
Must
New York Commercial Advertiser.
It Is far too common a habit with many
people to deprecate coUrtesV.ag a. suntr-
flclal attraction, an Unnecessary hamper I
on suciai inumacy, at is neitner tne
one nor the other, it Is very rarely that
courtesy in a man is not the outward
and visible sign of other admirable
qualities within. It is not necessarily
an Indication of kindliness of heart, but
it Is very often its outward manifestation,
and, at any rate, courtesy Indicates that
a man is not so wrapped up In himself
and his own perfections as to forget what
Is due to other people, especially towo
men. It oils the wheels of life and cood
understanding, for every woman will show
to better advantage when she feels safe
from 111 manners and tactlessness. A
courteous man will put a woman on good
terms with herself and consequently on
good terms with him. whereby he reBpsJ
ms reward in many ways. Even a bad
tempered shrew Is not Insensible to good
manners; and calm courtesy will often
avert an attack of "'tantrums" or hys
terics. Seeing the enormous value of this qual
ity of courtesy ttl the appreciation of men
and women. It Is very strange that day
by day the courteous man Is becoming
more and more rare, until soon the last
specimen will have to be captured for
the Museum of Natural History, to be
placed next to the dodo among the extinct
species. Bad manners rule tho town, and
are to be met with where one would
least expect them to be found. The older
men of the present day still retain some
traditions of that courtesy which dis
tinguished their fathers, and which they
nave" not known how to hand on to their
sons. Such courtesy is, alas! now con
demned os "old-fashioned." What would
those forefathers have said to the young
man of the present day who lounges Into
a room full of ladies with both hands
plunged In his trousers' pockets; who will
stand and talk to a lady in the same at
titude; who will s6at himself at table
before she is seated; who will not
rloe to open the door for her If
she leaves the room; who will remain
seated whon a Jady stops to talk to him
In passing, and a thousand other trivial
signs and tokens of lack of manners hav
ing their root in Indolence, conceit and
selfishucss? That the women of the pres
ent daj- are considerably to blame for al
lowing young men to behave thus, in
stead of turning their backs on them and
perenely Ignoring them, is unquestionable;
tut "two wrongs don't make a right."

Within the last few daysvthe people of

of lectures calculated to promote the

THE LATE "WlLLtAM HUME

deavoring to tear away the superstitious
man from his altar, since it Is there that
he Is tortured and given the punishment
of his offense. Nor do I care whether
any given champion of the Church of
Rome be native and to the manncx4 born
In that particular theological contrivance.
or -whether he be some mercenary
apostate from any Protestant denomlna
tlon, because a bishopric in the Roman
Catholic persuasion or a cardinal's hat
proved so tempting a morsel to his able,
honest and acute mind as to make him
yield to its alluring powers.
There Is, however, one matter in this
transaction that I d6 care about, and
against which I wish to protest In the
columns of the same dally newspaper
which has given this very celebrated lec
turer considerable space It Is his slander
ous tongue and his deliberate falsification
of historical facts, cwhlch are known the
world over and which axe as undeniable
as any facts based upon the- soundest
audible and visible evidence. Indeed, had
this wandering champion of Romanism
confined himself to picturing the beauties
of the papacy and to demonstrating his
way to salvation as the only safe and
sure passport to heaven. It is very doubt
ful whetbfcr he would have provoked a
s'ngfe line against his claims, though he
might have provoked a smile on the part
of thosft who know how to take things
at 'their proper value.
While tne origin of the Reformation
may be regarded a subject of controversy,
though men Invested with high offices
In the Church of Rome have long before
the Reformation felt and squarely pro
claimed its necessity; while some may
continue to doubt the legitimacy Of volun
tary Protestant organizations, which after
centuries of blood and tears has been
successfully established and maintained
over the Illegitimate power of the papacy
one thing Is quite certain the result of
that great et-ent In the world's "history.
In point Of fact, is the great source
whence proceeded the prevalence of free
Inquiry, and to this all modern advance
Is due, directly or Indirectly. That this
is an undeniable fact we have from the
verv champions of the papacy, from
whose lips we constantly hear the oft-
repeated apologetic declaration or jonn
Henry Newman, that between Rational
lrm and the Church of Rome its op
positethere is no middle ground, ahd
that he, accordingly, chose to bid fare
well to reason in exchange for a cardt
nal's ftat.
It Is. therefore of little significance
whether the Reformation, as some main
tain, was tho progeny of avarice in Ger
many, of novelty In France, of a love
affair In England, or. as the yery cele
brated Pope Leo X would have It, of a
squabble of monks. It is sufficient for is
to know not to believe, but to know
that It proved the .great and blessed
source of freedom and enlightenment for
humankind, even if we wore to admit
that its great triumph depended In coma
measure on the passions and quarrels of j
individuals, the circumstances of the
time, and the stability of crowns and
dynasties.
Such 19 the verdict of recorded history
and logical reasoning. The annals of the
latt 1003 yars throughout Christendom
unite In proclaiming that papal supremacy
has smitten the whole world wlh what
will ever remain known as the Dark Ages,
and that it was only with the fall of that
despotic power that the great light of
modern civlllxatjon made the relief of
man's estate a real factor in human af
fairs and In this world. For this great
light we are, by the way, indebted. In a
very great measure, to the blessed souls
who In most cases have emerged Into this
world of action from within the walls of
monastic Institutions of the Church of
Rome, and, though confronted with the
3'awnlng abyss of fire and blood, they de
fiantly planted the unfurled standard of
Intellectual-regeneration. As such these
are the true saints of the Church of Rome.
To this great light of the Reformation,
according to universal verdict, we .owe
not only our freedom ahd comforts, but
our very lives. Let those who doubt thla
declaratlon turn their eye to. such coun
tries as are still dominated by the papal
power it Is there where the densest Igno
rance and superstition still prevail, where
bloodshed and revolution Is; as rampant as
of yore on the principle that to kill 1 a
pleasure and to exterminate a- luxury,
and had it not been for the noble Institu
tion of Free Masonry In such countries,
no ray of hope would ever cheer the
hearts of those who understand the secret
causo of their sorrows and realize wherein
the actual source of relief Is to be found.
Not so In countries where the spirit of
the Reformation holds sway there educa
tion is universal and the Inventive genius
ministers to the wants of humankind;
every one qf whatever station Is fully
protected In his right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness In his own way,
and the very individuals who are .known
to look upon clyll and religious liberty
when enjoyed by -non-conformists as ah
abomination even they receive the fullest
benefit of the protecting spirit of tolera
tion. The above lines, were Ju?t about to be
submitted to The Oregonlan "when my
eyes fell on' the reply 6t our celebrated
lecturer to Dr. Morrlson'6 sermon .In last
Sunday's Issue. This, reply, like hla series
of lectures, was made up of personal
abuse of a greatly respected representa
tive of the Episcopal Church of this
city, with the usual outpouring of slan
ders against non-Catholic women, and In
vective against everything and everybody
that Is not papal, with some side bluffs
at history. It would require altogether
too much space to -show up the actual
....f.fc
value of these cunning bluffs, and", were
It done here, the champions of" the J'Holy
Mother" would certainly find but little
comfort Sufficient it is to say here that
Protestants In early times Were after all
nursed and brought up in popery and.
having drunk from her breasts the per
Lsecutlng spirit, they at times could not
help going astray. Then, too, the spirit of
retaliation is not foreign to any of us,
and they had some things that called for
retaliation. But be it remembered that
Protestants in subsequent years not only
abhorred all such doings, but frankly dis
avowed at all times all such cruelty and
Injustice as the pioneers of the Reforma
tion, as a war measure or otherwise, in
flicted upon Catholics." But who has ever
known of a pope, council, cardinal, bishop
or priest, authorized to speak for the
Church of Rome, to disavow the wholesale
murders, massacre?, secret assassinations,
etc, carried on through so many centuries
for the glory of Romanism, and which. It
is estimated, represent a slaughter bill
amounting to about 140,000,000 human
beings? And let me remind you that that
institution has never concealed having In
stigated and supported thOBo bloody car
nivals! Why, it has even gone so far In
its savage, exultations as to offer thanks
to God for Its victories, and books were
written, paintings were painted and
medals were struck to commemorate such
victories over tho Infidel heretics.
Then, too, think of the Holy Inquisition,
with Its holy band of most skillful tor
mentors, of the terrible tortures; devised
by those impostor Jesuits and Inquisitors,
who, with blood on their hands and a
"Pax Voblscum"' on their lips, tortured
their victims with their devilish inven
tions1 by water (Filipino "water cure"), by
fire, by St. Mary, the rack, the auto da
fe. etc
But enough of this picture of darkness1,
murder and despair no penjias ever done
it Justice and evidently never will. If
more history be wanted, why, my
brethren, wo can furnish plenty of It and
from ydur own writings. To quote
Shakespeare and who would not rather
quote him than any and all holy saints
and friars "Here's the challenge; read It;
I warrant there's vinegar and pepper
I- In .'V
Or.e more Item and I art done. There
seems among the champions of the papacy
a concerted cry against the morals of
non-Catholic women. Of course, the cell
bate priesthood naturally takes a deep in
terest In what mfty come under the head
of transgressions of the weaker sex. But,
having lived both In Catholic and non
Cathollc countries, my own conclusions
fully convince one that the morals of
women In non-Catholic countries are at
least as good as those of he women
whore tho papacy still claims supremacy.
Statistics, too, will more than fully bear
me out in this declaration.
Before closing I wish emphatically to
disown any feeling against such Roman
Catholic people as honestly and sincerely
believe their religion to be the only true
oney It Is only the army of ecclesiastics,
promoters and fakirs In the papal machine
against whom these lines are directed.
As to the average communicant of the
Roman Catholic Church, they are as much
the X'lctlms- of that remarkable Institution
as all others, if not more so. Hence wo
must rather sympathize with them, for as
Virgil (Aen. 1, 4S2) so eloquently expresses
it

THE LATE WIUiUM SUXB AND HIS
WORK OX THE COLUMBIA.
Established First Cannery and Soon
Made Its Facie Famous tae
World Over.
EAGLE CLIFF. Wash.. June at-Wlll-lam
Hume, the veteran- salmon cannery
man, who died here Wednesday, came
of a family of fishermen, and was
one of the founders of the salmon-canning
Industry on the Pacific, Coast He ,was
born in Watervllle, Me., on the banks of
the Kennebec. His father fished for sal
mon In that stream made fa'mous "by the
writings of Thoreau. His grandfather
caught salmon from, ttie same waters. The
ancestors of the family were fishermen
before the first of the line came to Amer
ica 'from Scotland.
William Hume came fb California in
1E32, and was followed by his brother,
George W In 1SS6. They located near
Sacramento, where, in partnership with
A. S. Hapgood, they built the first sal
mon cannery on the Coast. William was
a hunter, as well as a fisherman, and
made a business as well as a pleasure of
hunting large game In the wilds of Cali
fornia The keen enjoyment he derived
from the excitement of hunting remained
with him in his later years, and In 3S01,
when over 70 years old, fate rifle senj raes
sengern of death to seven bears that were
found by him In the hills near his home.
Come to the Columbia.
In 1865 the two brothers came to the Co
lumbia, and built the first salmon cannery
tver operated on that river. William
Hume furnlahed the money for the enter
prise, and George W. had most of the
knowledge necessary for practical opera
tions. The cannery was put up on the
shores of the Columbia at the. foot of a
hlKh cliff, heavily timbered. While look
ing up at the trees far above him. George
epled an eagle sitting on one of the
branchts, and at that moment named the
place Eagre Cliff, by which It has been
known since The cannery business was
owned by the two Humes and A. S. Hap
good, under the firm name of Hapgood,
Hume & Co. After ,one year's operation
George W. Hume withdrew from the firm
and went Into business alone, a quarter of
a mile below Eagle Cliff, where he built
acannery.
Prior lo the coming of the Humes, tal
iron caught In the Columbia had been
packed In salt The market was limited,
and the lnlustry correspondingly small.
William Hume, who became sole owner
of the Eagle Cliff cennery, put up his fish
with Sreat care, and pushed his goods
upon the market of the world, until the
Eagle Cliff brand of canned salmon be
came the standard of excellenco-ln all
dvlll2d countries.
His Canned Salmon the Best.
In speaking of the matter yesterday,
"George W. Hume said:
"I always tried to -put up good silmon,
but William put up the best salmon. He
trok great pains In packing his Cans, and
was' careful with every detail, eo that he
won the reputation for Columbia River
salmon."
All canning operations were, of course,
of a primitive nature. Tho fish were
caught In glllnets 30 fathoma long and 30
meehes deep. Now the nets used are
from 300 to -100 fathoms long and 40 to 50
meshes deep. But the nceda of the can
nery were not great, artd the nets which
would be laughed at now sufficed for the
requirements of the time. Two nets
caught the fish, the year's pack helm?
about 57,000 cases. The season opened
andclosed to suit the cannerymen. If the
two nets failed to supply the needs of the
cannery a man was sent across the river,
where men caught fish for salting pur
poses', and all that were wanted could be
bought for 5 cents apiece. The canned
product sold for 520 a case, which was
more than three times the present price.
The cans were manufactured by a very
sldw process, the canned fish were cooked
In large open kettles, and all the processes
were so crude that It Is remarkable that
the quality of the canned fish found favor
with consumers. The product was shipped
principally to Australia and around the
Horn to New York. The Eagle Cliff can
nery remained in the possession of Will
lam Hume until his death, with the ex
ception of year in the early '70s. when It
wae owned by J. W. Cook and I. B.
Smith.
William Hume was a man who loved
his home, and never visited distant places,
or even near-by cities, except on busi
ness. He was a member of no secret so
ciety, nor church. He never aspired to
public position, nor took a prominent part
In public affairs. Much of his leisure
time was spent In hunting, and he was
an expert marksman. He was not an
advocate of the building of ajmon hatch
eries by the state, believing that the sal
mon would propagat6 In sufficient num
bers to Keep the rivers supplied. He be
lieved in a strict enforcement of the law
governing the close season. His career
has been a quiet one, and yet of incal
culable value to the Columbia River fish
ing Industries, whose development he pro
moted upon good business principles. He
died pdssessed of a considerable fortune.

If the Hllstingulshed Baron Munchausen
had lived in thes6 days he could easily
have written a book of marvels from real
life that would have matched hla own
and not have earned for himself the un
enviable reputation of being the classic
and monumental liar of the ages. For
example, ltf5 tale about being stranded
on a supposed island "in tho sea, which
proved to be a mbnster fish that trans

ATTENTION
To physical warnings wfll
often prevent a serious
illness. When there are
oppressive fullness after
eating, bitter risings,
belching, headache, dixzi
ness, nervousness, with
physical and mental slug
gishness, prompt atten
tion should be given to
the condition Of the diges
tive and nutritive sys
tems. Not all these
symptoms will occur at
once or in any single
case, but any one of them
indicates a disordered
condition of the stomach
and other organs of diges
tion and nutrition.
A prompt cure of these
conditions will be effected
by the timely use of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It heals dis
eases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion
and nutrition, perfectly
and permanently. Many
diseases, seemingly re
mote fromthe stomach,
have their origin in a
Giseasea conaiuoa oi xaa
organs of digestion and nutrition. "Golden
Medical Discovery" cures through the
stomach diseases which have their origin
in a diseased condition of the stomach, and
hence diseases of liver, lungs, heart and
other organs arc cured by use of the Dis
covery.r It contains no alcohol, neither
opium, cocaine, or" other narcotic. It is a
true temperance medicine.
Accept no substitute for "Golden Med
ical Discovery. p There is nothing else
just as good.
