BURLEIGH'S PARDON.
When Buileigli, the Lincoln
county rape fiend was pardoned
last week the state was disgraced;
society was outraged; tlie knowl
edge and honesty of purpose of
the twelve men who found him
guilty was questioned, and the
judge who sentenced him was re
buked. Peunoyer claims to have
granted the pardon upon the
leccmmrendation of Prosecuting
Attorney Condon. During ie
four years that Mr. Condon has
held the-office of district attorney
he has been a fearless and vigor
ous prosecutor. His integrity and
honesty of purpose has never been
questioned, and through his un
tiring' efforts for right, has gained
an enviable "reputation among the
moral,, upright and law-abiding
eiSizensof the second judicial dis
trict. From all' these facts it was
hard to believe hat .he had sud
denly renounced his allegience to
tiie cause of law and order and be
come a friend of the criminal.
Unless he- has since the trial se
cured some new evidence that,
completely exhonerated Burleigh
from implication in the dastardly
orime he would have been unwar-
anted in stating that in his opin
ion the culnrit was innocent.
Much- unfavorable comment had
beeir expressed regarding the sup
posed action of Mr. Condon until
the arrival of the Sunday Oregon -iaiv
which contained' a communi
cation from him denying the
charge and claiming that ulni
legh was plainly guilty and to
tirn such a fiend loose upon the
peopfe is itself a crime."
This was refreshing news to the
friends and admirers of the ex
prosecuting attorney, but as the
thinking people of this section had
never accused Peunoyer of having
an honest impulse, the intelli
gence that he had willfully and
maliciously lied in the matter did
not have the effect of lowering
him in their estimation. From
?ie peculiar manner in which this
case was brought to the attention
of t he authoiities; the attempted
escape of the old man before ar
rest; the testimony produced at
the trial, and the further fact that
the jury were out but a few min
utes and upon the first ballot found
flie prisoner guilty, there can'be
no possible excuse for the action
of the governor. Further than
thisi Judge j Shattuck who pre
sided at lhn trial, is said Jto have
remarked that there was no q es
tion of the prisoner's guilt and but
for his old age would have sen
tenced h m to the full limit as
vided by law. Think of it !
worst crime of which Fie could
possibly have been charged a
beastly carnal assault noon his lit
tle ten-year c:M grand daughter.
After a fair and impartial trial he
was found guilty and sentenced to
a term of five years in the peni
tentiary, but alter serving only
one nunth and seventeen days he
is liberated! without any apparent
reason. In order to justify his
action before the public, Peu
noyer, by a contemptible false
linod, undertakes to lay the blame
upon the shoulders of the attorney
who prosecuted the case.
Because of the number of crimi
nals turned loose during the past
few months the situation is be
coming alarming. Judge and jury
at the time of tlie trial are the
ones to determine the guilt or in
nocence of persons charged with a
violation of our criminal code and
after trial and conviction, gover
nor, prosecuting attorney, judge,
jury, nor any one else interested
in, and familiar with the circum
stances, should ask for tlie pardon
of a person soconvicted unless
his innocence cm be clearly es
tablished. The judiciary branch
of our government, so far as it
affects the punishment of wrong
doers, is fast becoming a delusion
and a snare through the wholesale
a' use of the pardoning prerogative
of the governor. In the past our
laws have been fairly well execu
ted and on that account a degree
of respect for law and order has
"been maintained throughout the
state of Oregon that is commend
able. When criminals ara vigor
eusly prosecuted and properly
punished (he people do not re
sort to violence and lynch law.
From what can be learned regard
ing the crime c miinitted by Bur
leigh, the citizens of Lincoln coun
ty would have been justified in
hanging him to the nearest tree,
but they thought it better to
-allow.the faw to take its course,
believing that the villain would be
properly punished. Had they
taken the former coarse the ex
jense of the trial would have been
7a"v7!uFTuHneTc7j"vTnTTTTTneTr
county of an unpunished dastard
of the worst type would have been
averted, and ihe insult to the in
telligence of the jury on whose
impartial juJgment the prisoner
was convicted, and the serious re
flect ion cast upon the wisdom of
the court would have been
i aroided. The demands of society
for protection from these heinous
offenders muM be heeded, and, un
less the pardoning power of tins
executive is greatly . modifieTl, and
soon, the belter class of citizens
will rebel against the system, and
as a result Judge Lynch will have
full sway. In the case of Bur
leigh, the residents of the out
raged community "ii which he
lived will now be morally justified
in swinging him up to a telegraph
pole, should he ever dare bring
liis damnable old carcass within
tiie precincts of Lincoln county
again.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wa iiingtox. July 0, 1S04.
Republicans in the senate and
house to a man support Mr. Cleve
land in the stand he has taken
against anarchy and in favor of
law and order, but, to their shame
be it recorded, there are quite a
number of democrats in congress
who stand with the protesting
democratic and populist governors
against the action of the adminis
tration. Among his opponents
are, of our.se, the most, extreme
states rights democrats, and the
populists, whose public utterances
have done more to ncoiuage the
spread of anarchy in this count y
than all oilier causes combined.
The question of the rightfulness
or wrongfulness of the original
strikers against the Pullman com
pany became a secondary consid
eration with everybody the mo
ment the free passage of the IL S.
mails was obstructed and the
authority of the U. S. courts de
lied. The U. S. government has noth
ing whatever to do with the strikes
against individuals or corporation,
but, it has everything to do with
the rights of the people ot Ihe
several states to communicate with
and do business with each other at
will, and Mr. Cleveland would
have neglected his sworn duty
had he done less than he has done.
It isn't the rights of the strikers
that are at .stake, but ihe very life
of republican institutions in Amer
ica. Fortunately the number of
men in congress who are opposed
to the position of the administra
tion is too small to lie a factor in
any congressional action that, may
become necessary, and as long as
Mr. Cleveland stands for the pre
servation of law and order and for
maintaining the dignity and au
thority of tlie U. S. governni ut he
can count upon the support of
congress and ot nine lenlhs of the
people, regardless of their political
opinions. There is no politics in
the present situation; it is Aniei
canism against anarchy.
If is clear that the democratic
members of t he senate committee
that investigated the sugar trust
scandal are in no hurry to get
their report before the senate,
having failed to get either Sena
tors Lodge, Davis or Allen to
agree to a meaningless support
that would practically dismiss the
whole matter. The republican
senators propose making a report
that will be in keeping with the
evidence taken, and owing to the
extreme nature of some of Ihe
conclusions drawn by Senator
Allen he will probably make a
separate report devoted largely to
showing that the money which
Ihe sugar trust people admitted
having contributed to democratic
state committees was actually
used to help the democratic na
tional ticket and was so intended
to be used. The republican re
port will only agree with that of
the democratic senators in one
thing it will exonerate Secretary
Carlisle from any blame for hav
ing at the request of Senator
Jones written that sugar schedule.
It will then show that the sugar
trut controlled the making of the
sugar schedule of the tariff bill
and the passing of the bill.
The conference committee on
the tariff bill held its first meeting
today, in the senate finance com
mittee room. If the appiause
which the democrats of the house
ga'e.Mr. Wilson, chairman of the
ways and mans 'committee, when
he attacked the C43 senate amend
ments to the tariff till meant any
thing it meant that the house is
going to knock out eveiy one
of those amendments which raises
the duty or which puts a duty on
articles which were put-on the
free list by the original Wilson
bill. Upon the result of that
fight depends the fate of the tariff
bill. If it is successful it is be
lieved that the bill is doomed,
unless the Gorman-Brice combine
shall abjectly surrender, as every
member of it lias openly stated
that they would not vote for the
bill without the amendments they I
demanuea aim oulauieu irom tlie
senate. It must not be forgotten
that a loss of three votes in the
senate means the final defeat ot
the bill. The republicans are
not, of course expecting anything
quite so good as that, but they will
neb be surprised if it happens, and
you may be sure that they will do
nothing to make the fight between
the house and the senate less bitter.

Had the leading papers of the
state displayed the same forcible
and fearless attitude that the Ore
goniau has maintained, it could
not be said that nine tenths of her
population sympathized with the
strikers and favored misrule and
anarchy.
