The Old Vet's Story.
(Dedicated to my father and veteran friends.
I enlisted in '62, boys,
At the aje of twenty-three;
I was as strong a man then
As you could wish to see.
My hair was like the raven's bl.ic'c,
'My eyes were keen and hrinht,
And in those days I little thought
I'd e'erjook as I do tonight.
My mother was a widow,
And I her only boy;
We lived alone, and you may guess
I ws her pride and joy.
When 1 told her I'd enlisted,
To smile she bravely tried,
But had to turn her head away
The falling; tsars to hide.
. I left her, dear old mother,
On a beautiful June day,
. And, dressed in my new uniform,
I proudly marched away.
1 felt no dread of soldiering,
For I was young and green,
And little knew, what "grim war" meant
'Til due gory field I'd seeo.
Well, I was out three ypars, boys,
Arnttin many battles fought;
I went with Sherman to the sea, ,
And at Savannah I wa shot.
At last the war was ended,
We'd whipped the rebs too bad;
I couM now go home to mother,
And you bet that I was glad.
But mother had gone home too, boys,
She'd lieen dead ten days or more,
And they'd laid her in the church yard
'Neath a grand old sycamore.
I was now a homeless wanderer,
And a cripple, for you see
That bullet at Savannah
Had almost settleld me.
. I took to drinking then, boys;
Not very much you know,
For it seemed to soothe my heartache,1
And sort o drown my woe,
But it made a wreck of me, boys,
As whinky ever will;
But now I've signed the pledge, and
Taste it more I never shall.
Six dollars pension I was granted
In the year of 'S3,
Twas small, but every penny counts
With a poor old crip' like me.
Hut old4Orover cut me oft, boys,
No pension now have I;
We fought while he was safe at home,
Now he turns ns out to die!
But we're growing old and gray, boys,
Our race is nearly run;
It won't be many years now,
Till our marching here 'II be done;
And wft we get to heaven, 003-8,
Where things are fair and bright.
Old Grover'Jl not be thrre, you bet,
Xo rob ua ot our right!

RESULTS OF THE STRIKE.
The present strike of the Ameri
can Railway Union has, perhaps,
aisumed greater proportions than
lany fieretolore known in this
country and its results are without
luoubt more far reaching. Passen-
ige ami lreigltt trafhc is almost
lentirely suspended1. Mails are
not being handled on many of the
Iroads and the depressed condition
f the country is being greatly in
;reased, because men are thrown
iut of employment on account of
the inability of transportation
fines to handle their freight. This
has necessitated the suspension of
operations in many large concerns
Ivhose output must be handled
Immediately. This is espec ally
rue of companies encased in
butchering and shipping of stock.
ifrowers and shippers of fresh
ruits and vegetables are also seri-
nsly effected. The stagnation
hstained in business will amount
millions, to say nothing of
rages lost to employes, many of
mom are not connected with the
Juion, although they are immedi-
tely effected by the strike.
All men have a God-given right
quit work when they so desire,
it they have, no moral nor leiral
ht to deter others from taking:
leir places after exercising 6uch
iht. Usually in strikes where
lilroad men are involved, there
la principle at stake which ap-
lals to the sympatfryof the world
a greater or lesser degree, but
this one there appears to be no
311 sentiment existinc amonsr
thinking classes. It is a local
Itter and the demands only ef-
It a couple of thousand men
ployed in the Pullman works,
no less than 100,000 have gone
iihe matter has now reached
ih gigantic proportions that it is
fgether probable that the gov-
inent troops will be called on
pssist the transportation com-
pes in protecting and operating
lines. What the ultimate
Iome will be none can tell, bud

lompany lormea- some time
r the purpose of searching
jie wreck- of the "Brother
lian" and obtaining the treas-
is supposed to contain, has
tied in locating and raisins:
)n of the vesseU
PARDONING POWER.
There ought to be some means
of limiting the pardoning power of
our executive. By tie powers re
posed in the governor he has, in
exceptional cases, the right to
pardon or commute the pnnish
ment of offenders. This duty
i seems to occupy Pennoyer's entire
lime and attention. During the
campaign his time was engaged in
booming his senatorial candidacy,
but since then nothing has hap
pened to interfere. If. the record
of the past few weeks is main
tained until our newly-elected
governor takes his seat, there will
be no convicts left to pardon.
Legislators are elected by the
people for the purpose of framing
laws. The people, acting through
their representatives enact these
laws, many of which define cer
tain acts as crimes, and in each
instance a punishment or penalty
is provided which is thought to be
commensurate with the offense, in
case the provisions of the law are
broken. These laws are enacted
after due deliberation and should
be rigidly enforced. They are not
passed with a view to injuring
anyone, but as a protection to so
ciety by suppressing crime, and
confining in a place of safety those
who have proven a menace there
to. The function of the execu
tive is to see that these laws are
duly executed and enforced.
For the purpose of applying the
law when its provisions have been
violated, the judiciary branch of
the government was formed. The
court is maintained at the ex
pense of the taxpayer, and costs
each year a vast sum of money.
During the trial of a person
chanred with a violation of
any provision of the criminal
code, every influence is brought to
bear upon the judge, jury and
Drosecutiii2 attorney. The best
counsel obtainable is pitted against
the state's attorney and when the
trial is ended and t lie prisoner
found guilty of the offense charged,
the instances are rare indeed,
when he is entitled to executive
clemency. The judge, who is
present and hears the testimony
and arguments of counsel, is fa
miliar with all the extenuating
circumstances, it any there be,
and when he has once : passed
judgment upon the criminal, no
power should be : permitted to
step in and say that both judge
and jury had erred, and thus make
a farce of the court and a mockery
of the law.
Were we less lax in the prose
cution of criminals, there might
occasionally be a time when the
pardoning power sh ild be re
sorted to; but under present con
ditions verv. very seldom. When-
criminals recognize the executive
of a state as their dearest friend,
matters have reached an alarming
condition. The governor offers as
an excuse for many of his pardons,
the recommendation of the judge
before whom the convict was
tried; the request of the attorney
who prosecuted the case or a peti
tion numerously signed by neigh-,
bors and friends asking that the
sentence be commuted. This
should not be done. Because of the
influence brought to bear upon per
sons making these requests, they
may perhaps in a measure be ex
cusable for recommending the
pardon of a criminal, but the chief
executive of a state, is so far re
m jved from such petty influences
that he is seldom, if ever, affected
by them. He, therefore, acts upon
the recommendations of persons
familiar with the circumstances
and those, too, who were instru
mental in the conviction and pun
ishment of the person whose sen
tence is sought to be commuted.
Neither judge, jury, prosecuting
attorney nor private citizens
should seek the pardon of a person
unless it be known that such per
son is guiltless. Every good citi
zen desires the suppression of
crime. Society desires protection
from the law-breaker. With a
view to lessening crime and pro
tecting society, our criminal code
provides a punishment for each
offense. From the very nature of
things, we are alike in favor of
the vigorous prosecution of all
criminals, and when they are once
convicted, the law should be al
lowed to take its course and no
sentimental nonsense should in
fluence us to hinder its full and
complete operation. Criminals in
ft his state are fast learning that the
law is not enforced as it should be,
which has the effect of stimulat
ing crime rather than suppressing
it. Citizens should, ponder well
over this matter and see where the
abuse of the pardoning power, for
which, they are in a measure to
blame, will lead to. Whers crim
inal statutes are not vigorously
enforced it leads to the organiza
tion - of law and order leagues,
whose members take the law into
their own hands and administer
jusiice without the aid of judge or
iurv. Deprecate such methods
much as me may, it is only the
logical outgrowth of the gross
abuse of the pardoning perogative
and laxity, in Hie. prosecution of
criminals, ,
NEWS AT-THE METROPOLIS
Doings of the Week as told by
the "Gazette's" Special
Correspondent.
Poivtlakd, June 28, 1 894.
The smuggling cases have been
on again for a week, but public
interest has had its keen edge
dulled by the previous trials.
This time James Lotan, Seid Back,
a (Jlnn. se merchant, ana xu. sr.
Thompson a?e the defendants' on a
charge of conspiring to defraud
the government by the illegal
landing of Chinese. There is lit
tle interest in the details of the
trial, as Nat Blum's racy and none
ffco veracious, testiaionv has all
been given before, and the public
mind is pretty well made up, first
that he is a conscienceless rascal,
and second that all the persons in
dicted, eome of whom haye been
convicted and some acquitted,
have had more or less com pro-
mii-ing dealings with him. It is
evident that much money was
made in smuggling opium and
Chinese and a large number of
persons had a finger in the pie.
The chief interest now is centered
in seeing how successful they
will be in. squirming out of the
penalty.
Portland is again high and dry
and merchants are back in their
regular places of business. . A few
pools of stagnant water in back
yards and neglected -basements,
whose stench riseth to heaven,
in competition with various and
nameless disinfectants, are now
the chief reminders of our floating
condition, lhere was a general
wreck of wooden sidewalks in the
flooded district, aggregating sev
eral miles in length, and new
ones are being built everywhere.
Actual destruction of property
was comparatively light. Coun
ters, desks and store and office
fixtures generally were damaged
and here and there a slight loss of
goods was suffered. How much
damage there was to docks has
not yet been learned. Generally
speaking individual losses were
the equal gain of other individuals
and can not be charged up as a
net loss to the city. So far as the
community is concerned the chief
loss was the serious interruption
of business for a month. One of
the results will be to enhance the
value of property on . the higher
ground and reduce it on Front
and First streets. The movement
uf business back from the nver,
which has already progressed con
siderably the past three years, will
be accelerated.
The appointment - of a separate
receiver lor the O. R. -& N. Co.
will be of : benefit to the whole
state, as the - headquarters will be
removed from Omaha back to
Portland and Oregon will again
receive the benefit of its purchases
and general distribution of money..
Traffic arrangements with j the
Union Pacific will continue as be
fore. There is a movement on foot to
establish another daily paper in
Portland, nominally independent
in politics. The Sun Publishing
company has been incorporated
with a capital stock of $35,000, to
publish mo ning, Surfday and
weekly editions of the Sun. The
incorporators are three old line
Democrats and two sorehead repub
licans, all of them active political
workers. The nature of its inde
pendence may easily be predicted
should the very unlikely con
tingency of the stock being all
subscribed permit of the paper
assuming tangible form. It is un
derstood that a portion of the
scheme consists of about a dozen

of the printers, recently crowded
out of the - Oregonian office by the
type setting machines, accepting
half their weekly wages in stock.
There probably has -never been a
worse time in which to start a new
paper in Portland since Petty -grove
and Lovejoy flipped up a
copper to see which should have
the honor of naming the prospec
tive city paper. There is abso
lutely no advertising to be had.
Already one paper, the Albina
Uouner, has been compelled to
suspend since the campaign
closed, a paper of several years
successful publication.
Every little while there is a
rumor that a paper is about to be
established here by the Saii Fran
cisco Examiner, democratic in
politics, as a rival to Ihe Ore
gonian. It seems to be generally
conceded that nothing but the
hard times has prevented this be
ing done for the past year, and
that as soon as business gets better
the Oregonian will have a compet
itor that will make it dance on a
hot plat? to hold its own.
Already the Examiner and Chron
icle divide Western and Southern
Oregon with the Oregonian and
both have large subscription lists
in this city.
lhere are already symptoms of
the usual summer exodus from the
city. Some families have thus '
eujiy laiieii ineir uepariure ior .
JJGrtUU, oca OlUB itIIU X iX-
quina, and many others are pre
paring to go. The San Francisco
fair is attracting a great many to
California to spend the summer,
while the mountains and mineral
springs will all receive their quota.
Mt. Hood will this year receive
especial attention. On the 19lh of
July several hundred people will
assemble on its summit to organize
a mountain climbing club, called
the '"Mazamas," the name of the
agile mountain goat of the Cas
cades. Climbing parties are being
organized at Portland, The Dalles
and Heppner. All who climb to
the sublimit on that day may be
come charter members and new
members will be admitted only
upon proof of having climbed an
acceptible snow peak. F. C. Lit
tle, of Portland, will give all in
formation desired. A large num
ber of ladies will be present. At
night the grand old mountain will
be illuminated rith red fire.
The quarterly inspection and
muster of the First Regiment and
Battery, A, O. N. G., was held at
the armoiyyJune 25: h and 26th, by
Gen. H. B. Compson and stall
Both organizations turned out
very strong and performed -military
evolutions in the presenceof
great crowds of spectators with a
precision and perfect ness they
have never before equaled. They
were very highly complimented
by the inspecting officers.
