I AND JURY, INDEED.
The recent grand jury in its
nal Hndings made the usual
tereo'vP-d report and amonjr

preliminary
exammatioiis, I
nd to only bind over such pcr-

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.

Cleveland "financiering," and
free-trade tariff tinkering, the
interest-bearing: debt had swollen
to $716,202,000. j He was also well acquainted with

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

iniquitous Wilson-Gorman tariff! needy whom he met on the plains,

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.

Mrs. E. S. 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.
