e- - it- OREGOH 8EHTHEL JACKSON V tlXK l Saturday, January 13, 18S3. CKOOZl COl'MY'a Cl'UsC AT 1AST. TI19 recently organized county of Crook in, Eastern Oregon, was lately tho ceno of oae of the most high-handed outragei that ever stained the name ef our state. It appears that the peo ple of this county, and especially in the neighborhood of Prineville, hare, for a long time, suffured from the frequent depredations of horse and cattle thieves. It is claimed that -there sxistt in this vicinity, an organized band of these thieres, baring branches throughout various parts of Eastern Oregon. These bauds are so thoroughly organ ized and well, managed that they hare hitherto been able to baffle tho officers of the law and escape convietion. This fact has beea tnado the excus for the organization of a committee of safety i or as they call thsm.elves the " lffi luites." A few days ago these self constituted so called conservators of the peace, determined upon the execu tion of throe men whom they had do cidod were guilty of stealing some stock in the neighborhood. And they did their work with a revolting feroci ty that ought to satisfy the barbarous iuktiucts of tho most blood thirsty and lawless cutthroats that oer disgraced a community. One of tho Tictims was shot in tho back while engaged in a ocial game of card, while two others were dragged from their beds and hangttd to a tree, and then each was shot through tho head and left hang ing. Tho very ferocity of theso exe cutions is alone sufficient to condemn the executioners as below the level of a border mob. Lawless as mobs arr, Ten they are generally restrained within limits ofdc.ency thatshaniethe perform ance of thsia Crook county vigilantes. Nomob thatraite3 itsbloodyhand above the law seeks more than the death of its victims, and that it accomplishes in a bold and courageous manner. But this band of bush-whackers sneaks up behind its victim and, Bhadcd by the darkness, shoots and runs. When it hangs, it must satiato its craving for blood by shooting its helpless vie tints whilo they are yet struggling in the agonies of death. If thore can be any possible justifi cation of mob law, it can only be when tho strong arm of the law lies palsied benpath the rulo of tho lawless; and then the mob must mete out speedy death to those it kills and this for only tho gracst criuie3 and upon certain evidence. But in this case there was nono of tlme excuses. The county, though somewhat nw, is amply pro vided with the machinery of civilized ; law. The victims were accused of a crime which no civilized country on earth punishes with death. They were not positively known to bo guilty of even tho crime for which they suffered. "While the barbarous, inhuman,, and cowardly manner in whieh they were executed stamps the crime of their killing as the bloodiest of murder. Taken all together, and, without dis cussing the sometimes possiblo necessi ty of the deplorable proceedings of Judge Lynch, this case is ono which must bring the blush of shame to the cheek of every law loving and law ubiding citizen in this state. We shall watch with no little anxisty tho pro ceedings of Crook county's decent citi zens in this matter and cannot but hope that the law will be vindicated by the punishment of every man en gaged in these most infernal and fiend ish murders. EMTOKIAI. NOTES The civil service reform bill passed the Hours by a vote of 155 to 47. It now only a.waits the signature of the President. Tnis will no doubt be furnished within a few days and the great and lone; looked for experiment will begin in real earnest. Looking back ever the history of this bill, and considering the course of events which preceded it, the discussions which gave it birth, and tho influences which have finally secured its adoption, no one can fairly deny the full credit of the meas ure to the Republican party. It con tains, not in a very perfect form to be sure, bnt perhaps aB near perfect as is at present practical, some of tho ad vanced thought of the Republicanism of to day. If republican practices, in some quarters, have been perverted in to practical opposition of the spirit of the bill, they havo not escaped that re proof which they have de served; and that too, at the haads of their party associates. It' is of courso idle to insist that all Ropublicass are in favor of this bill, as it is to declare that all Democrats are opposed to it; but the courte and conduct of the two parties, as political associations, place them on opposite sides of this great question. Of tho 47 votes cast against the bill in the House not mors than one sixth were Republicans, while in the Senate only five Eepublican votes were registered against it. No one, at all familiar with popular feeling on this subject, needs to be told that the Democratic proas and politicians throughout the country and, especially at the South, are almost a unit against the measure. Many Democrats do not hesitate to express their open hostility; but the majority aro shrewd enough to see that professions of reform so loudly made and frequently repeated during tho last eloctious closes their mouths at least for the present. Such men support the measure outwardly and solace themselves and their clamorous constituents with the prospect of avoiding its applications when the ne cessity arises. In this, they will prob ably be successful if the time should over come when the execution of the law shall he confided to their party. They may bo able to violate the spirit of tho law while keeping its letter, but there is no immediate danger that this chance will bo afforded them. "With out speculating upon the future opera tion of the law it is clear that this country has taken a long step in the upward march of political progression. The people have moved, and the mo tive power behind them has been the educating and elevating influence of the true-spirit of Republican independent. The board of engineers appointed to examine the mouth of the Columbia Lava reported recommeding the build ing of jetties as the most feasiblo way of deepening the channel. The ma jority estimate the cost of such jetties at about 33,500,000 but a minority report fixes the necessary expenditure for the work at a little over 1,100,000 Representative George is hard at work in the interests of this enterprise and expresses entire satisfaction with the progress already made. lie says tho imly danger of failure lies in the prosBnt feeling of hostility entertained against the river and harbor bill. Correspondents from all parts" of the country ore pestering the newspapers to know whether Mrs. Langtry has a husband and if so where he,, is and what he doos. Can't you let Mrs. Langtry's husband alone? Tho first thing you know you'l have Mr. Langtry over here organizinga comedy company iresurecting some such classical old ; as Handy Andy or the like. Let IL. alone at least until we get his wifo. Governor Cleveland is now at the head of the State Government of the great State of New York, lie is also cnergetcially engaged in practicing for the Presidential race. No sooner had he got comfortably seated in the Gov ernors chair than he proceeded to in form his political parasites that he would have none of their advice or in terference. He proposed, ho said, to disregard "applications and petitions for office and seek for the right men" That, bo it said in all soberness, is the very meat and marrow of true political reform in reference to official appoint ments; and is in harmony with the best and most advanced political sentiment of the day. Rut that any Democratic officer should undertake to regulate his official conduct by such advanced ideas as this is something so unheard of, as to causo general comment. It is needless to say that his political friends, who expect now to receive their pay for electing him, aro chagrined and dis appointed beyond measure and have set themselves dilligently to work to effect his political ruin. It is painful to note that the practice of tho Gov-ernor,-EO far, nr distressingly at variance with his professions. Almost his first official act was the dismissal of a mast competent clerk who-had served the state faithfully for more than twelve years in ono of tho most responsible positions under the Gov ernors control, and tho appointment of a man whose sole recommendation was personal friendship. The "Cincinnati- Enquirer" is not pleased with Senator Pendleton for his advocation of the civil sorvice bill. Pendleton is by no means a paragon of political virtue, and this civil service business is not the tallest and brightest feather in his political cap, for your die-in-the-last-ditch Democrat can't adopt these newfangled notions. Sen ator Pondleton may, however, offset the gratitude of the country against the criticism of tho "Enquirer" for this he ha3 earned and received. There are over a hundred million of silver dollars in the United States treasury. There are bow Kearly 90,000,000 gallons of whisky deposited in bended warehouses, - Round trip emigrant tickets from Havre France, to San Francisco via New Orleans, are now said by the Cen tral Pacific railroad for 65 . It is rumored that Emperor William of Germany will celebrate his 86 birth day, which occurs in March, by abdicat ing in favor of the Crown Prince. Governor Blackburn of .Kentucky tias, during his administration, par doned 1,500 criminals and remitted fines to the enormous amount of nearly S2,000,000. This is just a little too much for even tho dyed-ia-tho-wool blue grass Democrats, and the governor is to be called to account. No wonder Kentucky courts aw be ginning to be discouraged. An Irish member recently denounced the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland as a cowardly and weakminded official. "Upon this, the member was arrested upon a chargo of high treason, and is soon te be tried for this offense. The criticism, it it ust be owned, was pretty severe but the fact that it is made the basis of so serious a charge indicates that the much vaunted freedom of speech in England, exists principally in -the imagination of tho over enthu siastic inhabitants of that island. The gallant editor of the Democratic "Times" rises to rebuke the Secretary of the Treasury forhis recent Chinese wet nurse decision. Of course he wants the law enforced, but that a poor woman, eron though hailing from the forbidden land and wearing a que, should be made, what he calls the "victim," of Republican interpretation of the law is rather too Much for his lofty and ch&ritablo soul to endure in silence. If tho Secretary had only known this before he made the de cision! It is not Tsry refreshing to observe so fair minded and intelligent a Jour nal as the "Daily News" justifying the Prineville murders and speaking of those people who raise their voices in favor of civilized law as "tedious find sentimental." Itmavbe "svmuathv run to waste" as well as "tedious and sentimental" to insist that law and order should prevail instead of mob violence and midnight murder; but these are old fashioned notions which have long prevailed out in this part of tho country and the Prineville reform murder asssciaion is a thing of new birth vou know. If that sort of thing is to prevail ve will no doubt bo able, in time, to adapt ourselves to tho new order of things lay aside our sym pathy for a sword, and our ssntiment for a sixshootcr, and step out into the light of this now civilization.

The Attorney-General of the United States has been again construing the Chinese Restriction law. He haa de cided that the law does not prohibit Chinese from passing through this country. It will be remembered that Senator Logan, tome timo ago, intro duced a bill in the Senate granting Chinese this privilege. No one at that time seemed to suppose the prcs out law would permit this, and such was the opinion of the Illinois Senator. But at last tho judicial advisor of this government has been prevailed upon to construe thelaw as;ain and he has afforded the Secretary of State the happiness to inform tho Chinese gov ernment that John may pass through the United States. This distinguished hair splitter has gone tho other mem bers of his craft one better, as he not only shows himself able to split the finest hair with neatness and dispatch and upon the shortest notice, but he has demonstrated his ability to find the hair even upon the top of huch a bald headed law as the Restriction Act. The law says it shall be unlawful for Chinese to land here, with certain ex ceptions which are specified; but the Attorney-Gsneral levels his magnify ing glasses at this part of the law, dis ;overs a hexlty well developed hair, splits it ttraight throught the center and lo, the Chinose MAY land hare. Really, this is the most dangerous construction yet given to this much construed law, and over this breach the people and press of this coast should not fail to hoist a danger signal. The question of how to prohibit the Chinese from stopping oa their way through tho country has been referred to the Secretary of tho Trrasury. Of course thre is no war, when onca they are permitted to land here of compelling them to continue thsir journey. Who shall say how long they shall bo passing through tho country, or how is it possi ble to distinguish them, short of marks and brands, when once they have set foot on our shores?
