The loss is great, besides four men lost their lives by reason of the o ) 1'h j rati ) i The osuse is a matter of speculation.

The Walla Statesman was twenty one years old last Saturday, and cer tainly deserves a vote in the public opinion of the world. It is one of the beat papers in Washington Territory and enters into manhood with a bright future before it. The success of American horses abroad has been the means of creating a demand in Europe for our stock' whatever else it may have accomplish c I. Already some of the leading turf men of the old country have had ship ments made to them, and others will follow suit, so that we may expect in a jew years to see American horse-flesh taking the lead in the Ear opens countries. The President of the ''Garfield Avengers" writes from Milwaukee to Guiteau. Judge Cox and the jury that if Guiteau is not adjudged guilty nd hanged that all will be assassinat ed. The President of the aforesaid declares that the organisation is very strong, and numbers 20,000 from Now York alone. Judge Cox says he has received similar epistles at the rate of a dosen a day.

Those that make are not disposed to tell, while those that do not make are probably a -shamed to toll. So we can only guess that some of the mills make large div idends. They do thing bettor further South. The Star route thieves stole nine millions and were acquitted. Two days afterwards a poor dtvil in Ar kansas whg was distilling moonshine whiskey in a teakettle, using a gun barrel for a 'worm" making abont ten gallons a month, was sentenced so-ken ysssj. in, the pedfcentiary, and a fine of $5,000. His siok wife was at thef point of death at the time of the sentence. This vindicates Justice. When the star routers went free it was feared the old girl's bandage had slipped off her peepers, but now it is certain that she is Mind as a bat.

The editorial staff is c imposed of Judge Bartley :ibve named, William Aydeloite, Esq., of Philadelphia, and Colonel William 11. MeCardle, a' distinguished journal ist of the South. It is a high-toned and elevated journal, and an exponent of the doctrines and principles of the Dymocrstic party. A Great tariff convention has been I held in New York City.

The advocates of meat both by Christian and infidel it is protection seem to lose sight of the fact dismissed. Time is going on all tbe i hat there are between seven and while. And now we are told that Mc eighfc million farmers in the United Veagh will resign. Since the death of Stat -s who are paying about forty-five the President McVeagh has lost inter ior cent more for the goods they pur- est in these cases. The grand jury hss chase from necessity than they would found two indictments against two men en of free trade. t.1 ITE M S TBI II From the day this trial began it has been the purpose of a portion of the press of the country to ridicule the court and defend the J udge. The "lonely newspaper" in Oregon has almost daily given a characteristic paragraph of cen sure and ridicule of thia trial. Now comes the culpsble Beecher ami for a thanksgiving sermon says the trial of Guiteau looks like a tight between an "imbecile Judge aud a vagrant foot." From such men the public, whom thoy pretend to instruct in essential secular matters, can expect nothing worthy of respect. '1 he course pursued by such editors or clergy is as lawhss as that which prompted the villian Guiteau to do the damning deed. If the reader will look at the personal mske up of the editors who ate endeavoring to create the impression that the trial is a farce! and Judge Cox is no better than an accompltce,he will find their charac ter no better than that of Beecher if as good. And it is time that the Beecher clergy and the breed of conceited out laws in the editorial chair should kit to that haven of contempt to which they are surely going. It is a relief to realise that they do the thinking of no intelligent Demon. While it is true m i r- that Guiteau murdered President Oar- field in cold blood and with premedita lion, it h nevetherle8s true that if he is tried at all he is entitled to a fair trial under the law. The hilling is admitted by the defence. If this was all then Judge Cox could do no more ' than to sentence the culprit. If he attempted to do more than this toe censure we speak of would be just But the law gives tha eriminal the benefit of as aaanv defences as he tnsv have. O&e and the only one in this case is insanity And all the machinery of the law is pit Us motion to make it effective, learned counsel were written toallover the Sand to assist in the defence and every lead ing man knew that this defence was one that could be made if the defence desired to make it. In presenting the defence to the Court the test history of the defendant is reviewed. Hi 1st j ten, books and papers are examined, His conduct is given ami he himself i I daily before the jury who have the riijbt to see the prisoner, hear hm talk, ! mith kim Thev ,.re t JeteraniM qne,Uon of iManily by tLe very methods' adopted by the law t. no I other, and Judge Cox can no more pie vent it than his accusers can be just. If Guiteau turns the Court fcsto lr garden it is legitimate aud it would show what all expeel that dm insanity is real or feigned of which IVf ore ihe in mm are the imlsra. It is said that j j - Guiteau' s counsel made a sassteaw in nuttinp him on the stand. And for i a Guiteau it may be true. But th civi Used world does not look at thia act as a mistake. Had Guiteau been m i need and kept from the aland public opinion would not have been sure of his canity if hung for the murder. Now that the prisoner has had an indulgent trial, and been permitted to exhibit himself daily before the jury and bis sayings or doings pablkhed to the jury of the wcrUl, we as a part of that body are fully convinc ed that Judge Cox hss been the means of releiving many minds of doubt by his course on the bench, and that through this trial Guiteau hss convinc ed us tbst the murder was premeditat- edand that.Guitoau was not only re sponsible for his act on the second day of Jul v when he murdered James A. ri3eld but equally so when he conceived tbe idea days before and m a m a soeakiagly and wickedly loiiowed up determination to kill tbe President mteau ha lived ,lfe of frud d deceit, but not one of insanity. So moch for the "imbeci,e Jud8e and va" t raws i a loot. J. ne very ana oniy means &fc used convince the jury " world of Guiteau s guilt were permit- by Judge Cox to be used for which 8Uch professional men ss Beecher and vicious writers condemn him. The public will weigh these thmgs.and like I that of the dog the day 'of these men will come and go. STAB BOLTS 4. After so long delay in the prosecu tion of these' cases the public are con vinced that Brady and Dorsey have a defence whether legal or not thaC will avail them. From the first Brady has justified his conduct by the plea that the bids were raised on tbe recom mendation of men in official station, and in either House of Congress. No doubt this is true. Brady goes farther and says that the victory, fair or4not,by the the Republican party in the Presiden tial contest is attributed to funds used by the party that were derived from these Star route raids on the national treasury. These matters of defense have not been contradicted nor assailed by the Republican press. There is a fear overhanging: the whole thiitfir. The ina subordinate position, charged with ' taking bribes. These men may give the Government all the knowledge they hate on this subject and it will do no good. Every thing is known, but how to teach Brady & Co., is ibo question. MoVeegh sees no glory in it. The de mocracy will never know the depths of the damaging sac ret that surrounds this expoMure. mat tneso uinus were ushu largely in the Vi esidential campaign no one will dispute. This lact is known to both jtolitical parties. And should the trial of Brady go on, a thing wholly impossible, Mt. Jewel will be oslled to tell whst he knows, not about psper harnesses, but oonoerning the public funds that wet.t into the republican side of the last Presidential contest. That these funds wer used is known to high officials and particular loaders. AnH weto furthor exposure bo be made it would startle the country ss being the boldest pieoo of party villainy that has happenod since we have been a nation. Louisiana frauds are nothing to it. Dursey and Brady took a liberal per cent, but the jarty got the benefit of the funds. And to secure themselves against prosecution, it was the policy and purpose of Brady &O. to elect the republican ticket. Tho impression that the failure to prosecute Brady lesves on the public mind is that Brady fc Co. and the republican outfit well undtr steed the aid the ticket was getting and from what source it came. W o believe all is known that will ho of tho Htar route frauds. The public will read in all this the wonderful power that this money had in the last presidential elec tion. Strange it is that every republi csn presidential election is tainted with fraud. Ithaanow gone into history that Hayes administration was not on ly inaugurated in shameful frauds, but fthat the most gigantic frauds ever "per petrated under any government were the means of (terjietuating the republi can dynasty with a full knowledge on the part of Hayes of f ie fact a well as on Ik nark of ramiMicao ledn. tiranl's i rmi) lin !)

Nervosa etelt moot not only caused the death 'if Charles IX, but ef thousaaa beeido him. We have linked this announce ment with the met tbst Guiteau claims that the Lord caused him to kill President Garfield. It occurs to us that these circumstances present a case for our reflection.. John Ci 1 vln was the loader and life of the French reformers, they embodied his Ideas of chnroh government and discipline. Among this elass there were fanatics as there are usually la slmost sll religious bodies. New what did Calvin teach ? He taught foroordl nation and election. That election only Included s psrt of the race, the rest being left to perdition. Election and perdition ate both pre destinated In the Divine plsn : that plan Is a decree and thts decree is eternal and unchangeable. Every thing Is foreordained. And every thing that happens occurs by the Divine plan. It was forordalned according to Guiteau ssd hfs rsllg ions conviction. If hs was tried by Calvaniets would he be hung for murder ? This is why Gnlteau says God did the act through himsnd it was so determined from the begin ning. As thero are a great many Calvanists who read the Dbmocrat we wish seme oss ef them would answer whether Ik was foreordained from the beginning that Guiteau should kill President Garfield. Gospel.

Dorms the mooting State Deputy II. A. Irvine introduced the following preamble and resolutions, which passed unanimously and were ordered printed in the co mty press: WnsBSAs. it Is a recognized fact that wo oas only ossect tho enactment of Juit law when we elevate to the posi- uea or Legislators nonost men men lu whose fidelity we have perfect faith; who oan withstand the teuoptatloas to wbloh thoy are subjected, and who would spurn with contempt tho offers made by vasal and corrupt smlsnarles of those who seek to forward their Individual lotorosts at tbe ex. pease ef the tax-psyere of this Bute, aad WnaasAi, knowing that a general election will transpire In this Htato nsxtJune, tbe Linn County Boalnesa Council dooms It to bo to tho best interest of tbe tax-payors ef this coun ty that the aomluees of each political party bo asked before the time of elec tion to foreshadow their pel ley on some or tne matters wsien aro or interest to osr people; therefore, be it Jtesolvd, That this Council appoint a committee of four to present the fol lowing f nterogatorlee to tho candidate of tho different political parties as soon sfter their somlsatlon as possible, and to report tbe result to this Council at the next regular mooting thereafter: 1st, Will you, if elected, favor tbe onactmeat of a law allowing parties who sustain damage from rat! road, by tbe kiillsg or injuring of stock, to bring salt le recover their loos In the county wherein the damage is sus Ulnod? 2. Will veu, If elected, fsver the enactment of a law reducing tbe fees of Clerk's and Bberlfl'a ? 8. Will you, If elected, favor the enactment of a Isw which will cause tho taxing of mortgages la tho counties to which tboy arc recorded ? 4 Will ysu, if elected, favor the enactment ol a law which will remedy the existing evil compelling pa re ate and guardians to purchase for their chi Idres or wards a now aeries of school books almost every year ! ft. Will you, if elected, favor the ooactmoat of a law ef the same sub stance as that laid down Is whst was knowa la the last Legislature as Keual Hill No 82, preventing existing railroad aad steamboat lines from discrimina ting against any now corporation which ma j undertake to oommonce bus! neea In our Huts' .Will you, If elected, favor the enactment of a law which will limit tbe number of witttvaaea io criminal The Patrons certatolv must be com mended for this timely action on a subject not only of importance to tbem, but to all of our citizens, nt mutt DOT some attention to our lvislatie tickets, and secure as candidates men who will represent the (asople. We especially want no one in the Legisla ture thia next year opon whom "the venal and corrupt erotaaariee of those who seek to forward their own intr rests at the expense of fbe tax payers of the State," can make any impression. If this list of questions is propounded to tho candidates of the different parties, and answered affirmatively, we need have no fears, for no man who has tbe least regard for himself would answer ese questions affirmatively and then vote to the contrary. The list of in ogatohos will prcbably be m d larger ss other matters come up before the peoole, but they are already good as far as thoy go, and aro made so ptsin that "he that runneth may read." First, cornea the law in relation to bringing auit against a railroad company for killing or injuring stock. Under the present law if your cow is killed by a train running over her, you have to go to Portlrnd to bring suit for daasagss, and would be compelled to pay ont more thsn the animsl wss worth n the wsy of traveling expenses, hotel bills, etc. An; ono can see that aucb a law is mt just. Second, cornea tbe question of re ducing the feus of Clerks and Sheriffs. There is no division on this questtou in Linn countv. Everyone knows that tho present fees allowed to the o facers mentioned are too high. .Both political parties sgreed on this matter last year, and instructed their Legislators to work for tho enactment of a law msking oaoh a salaried office. The bill passed, and many of oar best lawyers still claim tho Supreme Court wont a little too far in declaring it unconstitutional. Our Legislature oerta;nly has the right to reduce tho fees, and the good o( our ooanty demands it. Next comes a qnostion of no small moment to onr people, and one which when introduced into the Legislature will meet with a strong opposition. At tho present time uarlv a half mil lion dollars of foreign money is loaned us our county, ana if the owners of tho mortgaged property are not com pelled to pay the taxes themselves be cause tho money is payable in a foreign land, it is paid in Multnomah county, and Linn has to tax the balance of her Kperty heavier to make np the deficit, e more you ponder upon this ques tion, tho more you will see that it in of vital importance to the tax-payers. The next matter upon which legisla tion is asked is the school book ques tion. While we would take issue with some on this matter, as we believe it is best to introduce new books into our schools once in awhile, we do not like the practice which has lately prevailed of changing almost every year. Osr school law oan evidently be greatly im proved. Their fifth interogatory announces that Senate Bill No. q2, of the last Leg islature, will, in substance, be introduc ed again, and woe betide the individual who opposes it the next time ! On this question the people will be opposed by rich corporations, but if our Granger friends carry out their intention of making each candidate avow his posi tion on these points before the election, we have no fear of the result. Next we haver a question touching upon a reform in conducting criminal cases in our courts. We know of one murder oase here in this city in which tho defendant had 98 witnesses, and less than one-third of that number would have been sufficient to have proven the points brought out ia testimony. Now this if simply outrageous that onr tax payers should be compelled to pay $2.00 per day to so many witnesses when their services ore needless. While it would not be just to prevent snyone charged with crime from tiro owning witnesses sufficient to prove his esse, some obock should be put upon tbe pres ent system of gathering in testimony by wholesale. On the whole the interogatories are good. TIim plan adopted by the Conn oi! hi good, as it will compel both par ties to put forwttrd none but good men, as cattdidetes for office, and we are ((lad to see-such s movement on foot. Men may talk about treating tbe matter with contempt, but they will find to their sorrow that that will not do.
