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

Round trip emigrant tickets from

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 Attorncy-tlcnerals .New Construction.
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?
