The recent grand jury in its nal Hndings made the usual tereo'vP-d report and amonjr 1 1 . it a . . z i.: fthe reace to be more careful preliminary exammatioiis, I nd to only bind over such pcr- ons as the evidence would war ant conviction." The justices of the " peace Ihould now recommend that baud iuries should indict all hose persons against whom the vidence is clear and ' certai n. iThe justices will have the better If the matter. Benton county's ustices have usually been very careful of late in weighing evi dence and to bind over only hose against whom there is evidence to fasten crime upon, in cases when cxamina- ron is waived, of course the committing magistrate has no iscretiou. It is m extremely poor taste for a grand uirv like the last one, that has deliberately endorsed certain crimes by re turning "not a true bill" in instances where there was mot the slightest doubt of the Wilt of the accused, to censure fine justices for doing their sworn lduty. It is true that out of eleven ' cases bound over, the grand jury indicted but tour. But the grand jury is the proper object of criticism and not the :ommitting magistrates. In its failure to indict those charged with illegal voting, espe cially, the grand iury set itself lp as an apologist and endorser jf crime. There can be no worse crime committed against citizens as citizens, than this rob bery of the ballot. Most of these cases were clear and palpable vio lations of the law. There was no defense possible. One of the defendants remarked this sum mer, that if he were indicted, he would plead guilty and try to get the lighest sentence. Some of the friends of the accused. however, boasted that they would "fix" the grand".' jury. How they intended to do it, whether in securing the proper make-tip of that body, or using potent, in fluence with its members, was not made public But these ' 'friends, ' ' ' 'respectable citizens' ' as they wish to be considered. and influential citizens, at least "with the giaud jury, have inado their boasts good. The grand the persons so accused and at tempted to screen itself by "urg ing" that the justices be more careful in binding over persons who have influential friends to work upon the grand jury. That was the real meaning of the grand jury's recommendation. It is understood that the grand jury was not a unit in these mat ters. .- Censure of the public is not deserved by those who were true to their oaths as grand jury men, but at least four out of the seven members of that body earned all the criticism that they are receiving. -. Are our courts 01" justice established to teach young men to be a law unto themselves ? Is it the duty of Justice to de clare that laws are menial yokes, and officers of the law despots to be defied and killed at every effort to exercise their authority ? Such lessons were taught . to a room-full of young men in a criminal case in the circuit court this week. The attorney mak ing such a plea is considered a good, law-abiding citizen. He certainly does not believe what he said. . Perhaps in his zeal for his client's interest and the excitement of the debate he did not realize the position he took, but it was certainly the duty of the court to either prohibit such incendiary and anarchistic pleas or else clear the court room of spectators. The harmful effect of such speeches can not be estimated.- They poison the mind, and the healthy reverence and respect of law gives way to the bravado ot the outlaw and the cynicism of the society destroyer. Let our courts of law respect the law ' and compel - their officers, attorneys and all to do the same, at least within the sanctuary of of the blind goddess. SIX FROZEN FACTS. The New York Advertiser has condensed in a very small space the reasons why the people of the United States shall reject demo cratic national control at the fed ral elections next year, and estore the administration of af fairs to the hands of the republi can party. Under the caption, "Six Frozen Facts," is given these reasons, as follows: During the four years that Benjamin Harrison occupied the presidency, federal revenues ex ceeded expenditures nearly $210 000,000. During the last two years, under Grover Cleveland, federal receipts have fallen $112, 628,309.87 behind expenditures. When Benjamin Harrison step ped down from the chief magis- the 1 5ntfr;t-hMrintr debt of the fed- ' . , : j ,.r , , f TOaQC1lvlcfnHn11v S8s,ooo,ooo.

Early in closed on June 30, 1893, most of! 1850, at St. Louis, Mo., he mar which year a republican president ricd Miss Louisa Korripp, a na- tenanted the white house, this , country built 4,879 miles of rail road. In the following year, under the withering blight of Clevelandism, it built less than half that number, or to be exact, 2,247 miles. In 1892, the first year that the beneficent effect of the McKinley tariff law begran to manifest themselves, the people of the United States sold goods amount- j ing to $1,015,732,011 to people abroad. During the last fiscal j Coast. Being of a generous dis year, ten months of which the j position he freely gave to the iniquitous Wilson-Gorman tariff! needy whom he met on the plains, law was in operation, the exports ! until, when he arrived at The from this country had shrunk to Dalles, he found his supply of $793,553.oi8. According to the census of 1890 the total amount of wages paid in the United States that year, a year when the republican party controlled the executive and law-making departments of the nation, reached the magnifi cent sum of $2,282,823,265. In 1894, under Grover Cleveland, and a democratic congress, only the beggarly sum of about $r, 200,000,000 was paid in wages. In 1890 the value of the man ufactured products of this coun try was $9,370,107,625. Four years later, thanks to the malign influence of a democratic presi dent and a democratic assault upon the factories, shops and mines and farms of this republic, the value of these products had dwindled to a little over $5,000, 000,000. These are statements of facts and can not be denied nor explained away. They embody a truthful presentation of the case. The six facts, taken together, show at a glance why a change is needed, why the peo ple have been voting for republi canism and against democracy, and why they should continue to so vote. It demonstrates the supreme importance of next year's national campaign and points to the necessity of making adequate preparations for the coming battle. It emphasizes particularly the duty of strength ening the . republican party at every point, keeping its ranks solid, its spirits unbroken, and its forces in a good state of organ isation. The situation calls for perfect equipment all along the line, and does not admit of care lessness or apathy at any instant from now until the vote for pres ident is polled in November, 1896. We have the faith to believe that the people who were -misled by democratic moonshine theo ries, and who voted to put the democrats in power in 1892, have had a severe enough lesson to keep them from doing any more rainbow chasing. And we believe they will elect a republi can president and congress next year, and thus restore the condi tions which alone can give us national prosperity. Astorian. Sewing Machines.

Murray e-lls Vi'ivi, the won d-rful remedy fur the i-ffliotious of women. A Pioneer of 1850. Richard Irwin was born in County Cavan, Ireland, on that Isle which gave birth- and fame to a Burke, a Curran and O'Con nell, June 11 th, 1813, and died at his homestead, ten miles south of this city, November 15, 1895, aged , 52 years, 5 months and 4 days. At the age of. 19, he came with his widowed mother, one brother and two sisters to America He had received the benefit of a collegiate education and was well equipped for the battle of life. His ancestors were Scotch Irish Presbyterians, and he was baptised in this church ininfancy. In 1842, young Irwin found em ployment in a mercantile store in Lockport, N. Y. Four years later he was sent by his employ ers to Ohio to take charge of a branch store. Mr. Irwin then followed merchandising in Ohio, Illinois and Iowa, until 1850. During these years he was often associated with Hon. Stephen A. .Douglas, with whom he corres ponded after comine to Oregon tive of Germany. To them were born six children. Three of these children, Mrs. Joseph Mc Bee, James C. and Richard S., with the mother, are left to mourn the great loss of a kind husband, and a faithful father. In the' spring of 1850, Mr. Ir win started from Fairfield, Iowa, with- his bride of one day, an outfit consisting of 000 and an abundant supply provis- isions, for the then far Pacific provisions exhausted, and then began the severe sufferings and privations of pioneer life. ; He came to Portland and engaged in business until 1851, when he re moved to Marysvi lie, now Cor valiis and opened a store. While at Portland he became an inti mate friend of W. S. Ladd, who was in Mr. Irwin's employ for a time: In September of that year he located 640 acres as a donation claim, where he resided the re mainder of his life. . He added largely to his estate, till item braces today more than a thous and acres of Benton , county's most fertile land. - It can truly be said of 'him that he was of that North of Ire land brawn and brain that had the grit and .the grip to make brave men and noble women. If Benton county is one of the best counties in the state, and it Surely is, it is because of its grand pioneer men and. women. Such men as Irwin, Porter, Harris, Foster," Rickard, Bruce, McBee, Buchanan and scores of others, as well as the brave, self-sacrificing women who have stood by their side, have made these hills and valleys to bloom as a very garden of the gods. But for ward and forward fast, one by one, these pioneer fathers and moth ers are moving on beyond these borders of time to the eternal shores. We will thank them for the heritage they have bequeath ed to us. We will cherish their memory in delightful remem brance: As the sun was looking through the clouds, with brightest smiles, for 'a few moments last Sabbath afternoon, ' the casket, holding all that was mortal pf Richard Irwin, was lowered to its final resting place in the family cemetery near the house. A very large number of friends, acquaintances and citizens gath ered to pay their tribute of respect to this esteemed and worthy pio neer, and sympathize with the bereaved family. The services by Dr..Thompsn were impressive. There are four companies of cadets at the Oregon Agricul tural College this year. They receive the best of ' military in struction and always make a very creditable showing on parade. There are over two hundred and fifty young men wearing the blue uniform of the college, and there should be material among them to get up a crack company that could defy any military company ot the state in a contest for points. A contest of this kind would stimulate the interest of the boys in their military 1 work, and be a source of honorable pride to the patrons and friends of the insti tution. ' The boys themselves could enter into a personal con test for positions in the "crack company," and within a few months the O. A. C. battalion could throw down the gauntlet with confidence. ' Those who object to football ' as a college sport could certainly raise no serious objections to a display of proficiency in military science. THE DREAM CITY.
