DOLFH VS. COURT, BAR, ET AL.
Mr. Dolpb's latest efforts to
ieep himself before the publio
have not added to his-popularity.
The real facts in the Schmidt
case seem to-be that he attempted
to bully the circuit and supreme
courts into rendering a decision
in favor of his clients against all
legal usages and laws concerning
the matter. Mr. Dolph hack a
legal remedy if his client had
been wronged, but he did not
choose to avail himself of it.
Instead of bringing an original
guit to determine the right of an
attorney to have such a decree
taken as was done in this case,
or to determine whether or not
the fee allowed was excessive, as
probably any other attorney in
ihe state would have done, Mr.
Dolph appealed directly to the
supreme court from the decision
in the original foreclosure suit
In this suit these matters were
not at issue, and the decree ren
dered was a - consent decree,
which decrees courts have decid
ed are not appealable. Mr.
Dolph claims it was not a consent
decree, but his interest in the
case seems to have warped his
judgment.
J Courts must follow precedent.
Their decisions are a gnide to
people in their dealings with one
another, and their interpretations
of the law should be final unless
grossly unjust Bx-Supreme
Judge Thayer comes to-the rescue
of Mr. Dolph, but many of his
own decisions, in which he over
rode precedent and general usage,
gave an uncertainty to the deci
sions of the supreme court that
still lingers. Law is for the
- many; and law necessarily is not
always justice. Stepping outside
the bounds and restrictions of the
rules the courts have made for
themselves and those the legisla
ture has made for them, to grant
one more equitable relief, may
work some injustice to many
others. In the Schmidt case
lawyers almost unanimously
agree, and say that the supreme
court could nave rendered no
- other decision. .
Leaving aside the question as
to whether the decision of the
supreme court was according to
law or not, the letter " of Mr.
Dolph was an outrageously dis-
courteous one. The Oregonian
apologizes and explains for Mr.
Dolph, saying he did not reflect
upon the integrity or purity of
the supreme judges, but his
remarks concerning a disreputa
ble transaction were applied only
to the original transaction. If
that -be so, Mr.. Dolph has an
unhappy faculty of saying what
he does not mean. 5 He says that
the supreme court sanctioned the
transaction and that no honest
man or upright judge can approve
of it That sounds very like a
reflection upon the honesty of the
supreme judges,' and in the quota
tion, from his brief, that he
incorporates In ; his letter, he
directs still another unpardona
ble insult toward the supreme
court
The decisions of the supreme
court are not above criticism, but
when a man publicly arrays him
self against the unanimous deci
sion of the highest court of the
state and against the view of an
almost unanimous bar, he should
do so discreetly, courteously and
in a gentlemanly manner. : Mr.
Dolph should have learned by
this time that the people of Ore
gon are tiot prone to fall down
and worship him. His views are
no more authoritative than those
of any other attorney in the state
of good judgment, long practice
and studious habits. - There is
hardly a decision rendered but
some attorney considers that
the court erred in rendering it
r .These attorneys generally have
too much sense, however, to rush
to the newspapers with their
grievances. , There is some hope
, that when Mr. Dolph has been
long enough: a resident of Oregon
he will leant to be sensible and
fHseover how to be a gentleman.
There will be no new . issue,
says the New York Press, until a
republican protective tariff has
taken the place of this democratic
tariff of debt and destruction.
There will be no new issue until
American industry stands where
it stood in -1892, and ; American ; a matter of general regret, that

MUCH damage is done to' coun
try merchants, says the Portland
Telegram, by the business carried
on by the-; so-called "catalogue
houses" of the East,' and it is not
surprising that in some of the
Western towns there is an'organ
ized movement to drive out the
invaders. This is being accom
plished bv exposing the way that
most of the catalogue houses car
ry on business. A majority of
them are cheap affairs, without
much capital or credit, and their
alleged spacious stores are -simply
little buildings in which the
printed catalogues occupy most
of the space. These catalogues
embrace every article of domes
tic use to be found in the United
States, and when the publishers
4 f
recieve a mailed order tor a cer
tain article they go out and pur
chase that article from a regular
dealer. If it cannot be bought
at a profit to themselves they get
their reward by taaking on an j
additional cost to their customer,
and if they are not permitted to
do that they report that they have
not the article in stock. . By
showing up this trade trickery
the country merchants hope to
convince their neighbors that
the best and cheapest policy is to
patronize home dealers when buy
ing anykindr of goods. If the
local merchant has not got a de
sired article in stock he can send
for it and get it as cheaply as any
catalogue publisher can. , It this
crusade does not succeed, the leg
islatures of the Western states
should be urged to pass laws com
pelling: a merchant to , keep in
stock and pay taxes on the goods
he advertises for sale, or the man
ufacturers and wholesale dealers
should be reauesed to unite m a
decision not to sell to the cata
logue houses any cheaper than
they sell to the country mer
chants. Either plan would drive
the catalogue fakir out 01 busi
ness. protect the country dealers
from unscrupulous competion and
save the ruralists from systemat
ic extortion. " ' :
The governor of Nebraska
seems to be at the bottom of the
Omaha police trouble. : s- He is a
populist and his actions are on a
par with those of other populist
governors. He vetoed the Oma
ha police bill after it passed the
legislature . and it was subse
quently passed over his veto.
Since then he has refused to
recognize it as . a law, making
himself the supreme court , and
deciding that the law was un
constitutional. He refused to act
with the other two members of
the board, who went ahead and
appointed a commission. The
old police commission, under the
governor's encouragement barri
caded the police , station and
retused to surrender, to the new
commission and its police. The
council, which is in sympathy
with the new commission, refused
to obey an injunction" issued by
Judge Hopewell, and hence con
tempt proceedings are in pros
pect The old board ' seems to
be at fault in not surrendering to
their legally, appointed success
ors, and the new commission is
at fault in not obeying the orders
of the court: It is an unfortu
nate squabble.
:. Several letters have appeared
in the Oregonian of late concern
ing Mr. Hermann and the nomi
nation of his successor at the
next republican convention. The
same animus pervades all these
letters. They are of . the same
tenor and might have been writ
ten by the same hand. There
seems to be a sort of concerted
attack upon Mr. Hermann, and
the fact that one of these letters
was from Marion county, another
from Yamhill and still another
from Southern Oregon, is suffi
cient to explain to the ' initiated
the purpose of the attacks, and
to give a palpable hint as to the
directors thereof. ; These gentle
men are a little late to begin
such attacks. Mr. Hermann's
republicanism is too well estab
lished to be questioned, especially
upon the authority of noin de
plume correspondents. ''.'
. The Portland Sun has gone
the way of all flesh. Lack of
capital seems to have been the
disease, and it is a prevailing one.
It was a bright paper and . was
started originally by Union prin
ters displaced by type-setting ma
chines in the Oregonian office.;
Portland and the state of Oregon
ought to support two good daily
newspapers. We have one in
the Oregonian which, for actual
news and pungent editorials, sur
passes any, paper on the coast

sides of the question, and, with
out opposition, a faper is apt to
wield too much influence. It is
There ought to be a few po
tato starch factories established
in Oregon and Washington. - An
Eastern exchange ; has been in
vestigating the subject and finds
that a factory costing from $10,
000 to $15,000 will handle the
product of 2,000 acres and will
turn ; out starch to the . value of
$50, 000 -annually. 'It is believed
to be the best plan for the far
mers to organize and build the
factory themselves, as capitalists
will not engage in the business
unless they can secure contracts
for a number of years in advance
at prices which will insure them
a profit at the lowest possible
price of starch. There is no big
money to be made in raising po
tatoes for making starch, but it
will pay better than wheat grow
ing in localities which are speci
ally adapted to potato-raising.
Rural Northwest "
Judge Bellinger has decided
against allowing Lotan and Seid
Back a new trial. Poor Martyr
Lotan ! To think that the breath
of suspicion should so fasten itself
to such a truly honest man and
upright official, that he must suf- j
fer for crimes that were not, and
be punished ' for acts that he
could not perform. Heart-felt
sympathy is extended to the
Oregonian. . , . ' .
IT is very probable that Mr.
Dolph's indignation against the
supreme court of ; Oregon first
began to bud when the caucus
bolters rang his death knell in
casting their first vote for Judge
Moore., c Mr. Dolph's latest an
tics have, justified the wisdom of
those co-called bolters.
Small Beginnings
Make great endings sometimes. Ailments
that we are apt to consider trivial often grow,
through neglect, into atrocious maladies,
dangerous in themselves and productive of
others. It is disregard of the earlier indica
tions of ill health which leads to the estab
lishment of all sorts of maladies on a chronic
basis. Moreover, there are certain disorders
incident to the season, sueh as malaria- and
rheumatism, against which it is always desir
able to fortify the system after exposure to
the conditions which produce them. Cold,
damp and miasma are surely counteracted
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, After you
havo incurred risk from these influences, a
wincglassful or two of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters directly afterward should be swal
lowed. For malaria, dyspepsia, liver com
plaint, kidney and bladder trouble, nervous
ness and debility it is the most deservedly
popular of remedies and preventives! A
wineglassful before meals promotes appetite.

LUMBER
CONORISSUAN 1,1,13 IN TOWN.
Hon. W. R. Ellis, congressman, from
tha second district, with his wife, came
in from Yaquina Tuesday, remaining in
town until yesterday morning, when he.
left for his home in Heppner, Morrow
county. The pbject of Mr. Ellis' visit
here was to perfect arrangements for
the attendance at the Agricultural Col
lege of his son and daughter," aged re
spectively ; 15 and 18 years. While in
the city, he spent considerable time at
the institution, investigating the work, of
the various departments and expressed
himself as being highly pleased at what
he saw. ' r ' ;
For the past three weeks Mr. Ellis and
family have been guests at the Monterey,
near Newport, it being his first visit to
this favorite resort While there he ac
quainted himself thoroughly with the
needs of that section,so far as national
legislation is concerned, ahd it is safe to
predict, from his conversation, that in
him will be found a staunch friend and
earnest advocate for Yaqulna's interests.
Once on the ground and familiar with
the conditions, it is not a difficult task
to understand the importance Yaquina
harbor bears to the entire state, and now
that he has familiarized himself with all
the details ' of the situation, - Yaquina
may feel certain of his earnest support
in any measures looking toward further
improvements of that harbor. ;
Congressman Ellis is enthusiastic over
the favorable legislation thus far secured.
in the Micaraguan canal matter. .; tie
looks upon the construction of this
waterway as being one of the most im
portant measures this country has' ever
undertaken, this : being especially 'true
with regard to the Pacific coast , When
the caual is completed, Liverpool, the
principal market for Oregon grain, will
be brought 9000 miles nearer, ' and the
distance that our products will have - to
travel in reaching New York will be
shortened nearly ten thousand miles.
This it can be seen is of great importance
to our commercial interests. :- The saving
in time in making the circuitous and
dangerous trip around Cape Horn that
will result by the use of the canal will
cause a great saving in the cost of trans
portation. It' means to Oregon many
millions of dollars increase in the value
of her resources. In the matter of tim
ber alone a completed canal , would add
to our worth from one to two dollars on
every thousand, feet of lumber that is
now standing in almost inexhaustible
quantities. The canal will be the means
of: opening" up a, large trade in New
York, Baltimore,' Philadelphia and other
eastern ports for our lumber and other
commodities, which, under present con
ditions, it will be impossible for us to se
cure. .'; . .. ;-.. -. ' i ;-
, Regarding political matters, Mr. Ellis
expressed himself quite freely. ; He be
lieves that the country must look to the
republican: party for a restoration of pros
perity, and that the people are anxiously
awaiting the opportunity to restore it to
power is all .branches of the govern
ment He believes that the monetarv
and tariff' questions will be satisfactorily
settled only by republicans and predicts
for them ja 1896 the greatest political
victory the country has ever known.
