WINDOW GLASS STILL SLINQ1NQ MUD. The Review, turcbarged with bate, gangreened with spite, and putrid with jealousy, becauso it was not taken into the counsels of tlio county officials in tlio matter of preventing mob violcnco here Friday night, when n report that a mob was being formed in Mt. Scott and Oak Creek precincts for the ptirposn of hang ing Jim Dixon, then in jail, goes off on tangent and rips Mayor Marsters up tho back with ghoulish glee, and tries to prejudice public sentiment against all tho county officials whoso duty it was to maintain the peace. It condemns them for doing their duty, for acting in obc- dienco to law in surh cases made and provided. Wo quote belo,v tho section of law for just 6tich cases. Section 31, act ol March 1 , 1S95, which is as follows : Sec. 31. In case of any breach of the peace, tumult, riot or resistence to the process of the state, or imminent dancer thereof, any county judge of anv county, on tho application ot tho sheriff or mayor of any city, may call far aid upon the commanding officer of the national guard stationed therein or adjacent thereto. The commanding officer upon whom tho call is mado shall order out, in aid to civil authori'ics, the military force, or anv part thereof under his command, and shall report what he has done and all circumstances of the case to tho commnnder-in-chicf, who may confirm cr countermand his action. Upon the report coming that a mob was being raised to take Dixon fro.n jail aud hang him, tbu slier .ff, as was his duty if he thought there was imminent danger of a riot or resistance to tho pro cess of the slate, made a written request o the county judge, endorsed by the mayor, calling for military nut to quell, if need be, any sueh resistance to U gal prcces. These officials no doubt acted wisely in preparing to maintain goal or der, ami evefy gojd citizen will approve their action. And as to the cost of call ing out the militia, condemned by the Keview, there is nothing in that objec tion, for, if extra deputies had been sworn to, the cost woal 1 have wen as much, if not mare Cut, proverbial with the Review, it must oppose ecry thing that is done by any official not cf its party. It tries to make a mountain out of a mole bill. If the sheriff had not tskon precantian to put down a riot, and one should have occurred, then the Keview and its clackers wauld have cutsed the sheriff as lacking grit. Too fact is tho Keview will damn the officials all the same, if the? do or it they don't do their duty. WILL IT EVER END?" Under the above caption the Keview ays: "IVr Douglas county has been getting a most uceviable reputation abroad ever since the escape of Sam Hrown from jul. Ami then esajsa reason for th s ur.cvuMe reputation, by savins: "It is because a score of indi viduals ailed the prisoner and conspired to his re'eas?, and because t'ie officials whose duty it i Li jwusli such offenders, lacked the grit to make a thorough in vestigation, the Oregoniau and other pa pers have been giving the people of this county a lot of undeserved notoriety." And, bicause, says me Keview, "a score of individuals aided Sam Brown's escape and the officials had not tlio grit to make investigation and to punish of fenders, khegoil name of Dauglas county is tarnished with its 15,(U) good citizens, a treatment by the papers of the Mate that is uncalled for ami unjust." li, as tho Keview says, a score of in dividuals havo conspired to ovor-ii-Je the law and tbwait j istice, and the officials whoso duty it is to punish each offenders failed to do their duly, they deserve the severest censure by the papers of the state. It was the Keview's assertion that such was a fact that gave the state papers the grounds of giving Douglas connlv such unenviable anil un just notericty. The Keview published to tlio stato that there wus a "'diabolical conspiracy" formed to release Sain Urowu. That matter is now Icing investigated by tho officials who have the grit and will do all they can to punish the offenders. The Keview will scarcely bo ablo to show that Judge Fullerton in his instruc tions to both the grand and trial juries was remiss in his duty, or that ho fal tered in pronouncing the death penalty upon Drown, when a bravo and gritty jury found a verdict of murder in the first degree But the Keview's "diaboli cal conspirators" conspired to, and did releaso Sam Brown, and thus thwarted justice, a courcc it is morally certain tho Koviow, by its own statement, was privy to. Sunday School Organized. Looking Glass, June 14. A meeting for the purpose of organiz ing a Union Sunday School was called to order at 10 o'clock, by Mr. A. It. Mat- toon. Mr. Pratt had been suggested ns a person well qualified for the position of superintendent, but ho declined on sic count of poor health. Mr. J. II. Drown accepted tho position of superintendent. Prof. J. W. Kece, assistant, -Miss Ada Miller, treasurer, Mrs. M. Strong, teacher of primary class. It was decided to de fer the appointing of o'.her teachers till tho following Sunday. Mr. Drown and Mr. Kccs were nnthorued to purchase suitable books and lesson leaves for thu school. All are cordially invited to at tend. i:. a. Now is tho time to subscribe THEIR VOTE WAS !sHY There is a mild eonsation "within the camp of tho democracy. Some of tho candidates of that party, badly defeated at tho recant election, havo been study ing tho official returns, and.jas n result, have, us thoy claim, mado some alarm ing discoveries. There aro' those who wero candidates on the regular demo cratic tickot, who are now well satisfied that they were ripped up the back and slaughtered in tho house of Bupposed friends. This was, as it is claimed, dono through the secret work of" an organiza tion known us the Catholic citizens' leagu , whereby a go ju3rarauy demo cratic candidates were scratched, and" a portion of tho Mitchell republican ticket secretly supported. Tho so-called Catholic citizens' league dates back to last March, when an elec tion was lichWor school director in this district. It consists of three divisions on the Ve3t Side, one at Albina, and the other at East Portland. Attached to it is a lie-d council, consisting of 12 mem bers fro a: each division, or. CO in all. This head council is tho ruling spirit of the leagm It is given sola power to in dorse any candidate, and, whatever may be its dictum, tin su'wrdinito members arc expected to follow orders. Ths Wad ers su:casded so well in tho election of sch Ml director that th?y saw thf 5 chancj of broadening theiqfield of oper ations by taking an active, yet secret, part in the manipulation of voles during tho general election, which took place on June 1. 1 A number of prominent leaders, the men who were in actual control of this organization, were delegates in the dem ocratic county and state conventions, and assisted in makiDg cp a party ticket; but the obligations demanded by the se cret order to which they were allied seem to havo been more imperious than fealty to a convention in which tbey bad borne a conspicuous part. ' Immediately after the adjournment of the democratic conventions, a meeting of the league was held, and the question of loyalty to the democratic ticket, or a support of the Mitchell republican tick et, was sprung. After considerable hob nobbing with Jonathan Bourne, the pop ulist secretary and manager of the re publican state central committee, it was finally decided to support; to a great ex tent, the Mitchell repuWicau and popu list nominees. On ttuf day ot electibnr'prirafcj ' card was circulated by members of the league, on which were printed the official num bers of the candidates who bad been in dorsed, with instructions to "vote for these." Thee cards were given to every one known to be in sympathy with the Catholic citizjn's league, and, in addi tion thereto, the numbers 23 and 2-1 were also added. These represented A. F. Sears, Jr., republican candidate for cir cuit judge, and Charles F. Lord, repub lican candidate for prosecuting atto-nc-y. Neither of these candidates was indorsed at the meeting of the league; but the ap pearance of the two numbers on the card of instruction was tho secret work of some democrats who wanted to throw down Chamberlain and Pipes, the demo cratic candidates for the two positions. The result of this cimbication is told In the ctliciil returns. While the average veto gained by the democratic legislative candidates was nbout 19C0, (hose who had the support of the Ieagua had 3503 cr more votes. It also shows that Don nerbergand Ladd received about 1500 votes that other candidates for ths legis lature on the democratic ticket did not receive, but which did go to such Mitch ell republicans as had been indorsed by this league, anil which made it jSaible for four candidates on tlie Mitchell re publican legislitive ticket to be elected, and at the same time defeated the two democratic judicial nominees. George C. Stout and J. T. Ahern, both members of the democratic county cen tral committee, and also of the league, are being severely condemned for their alleged action in supporting the move ment in favor of tho Mitchell republi cans as sgaiust candidates on their party ticket. Somo of Ilia non-Catholic mem bers of the committee aro said to ser iously object to the further servico of these two men on the committee, for the alleged reason that they are liable to use their position to tho detriment cf the party. Oregouhn. Notwithstanding all this meddling in politics, not as citizens but as Catholics, in a secret "religio-political combination to further their sectarian iulerests, wo are told that Catholics are the most loyal class of citizens, and that A. P. A.'.s aro "un-American and un-Christi in," seek ing to subvert good government. It is just such coni'iinaliona by thai church that has called into existence tho Amer ican Protective Assoc'ntion. The twicc-a-week stamper is still vig orously at work with its lit!e two-for-a penny stamp, stamping ou t tho few re maining A. P.

It is with sincere, that we put on rec ord the death of our old friend, Joel Thompson, who died at Roberts Creek, Douglas county, Oregon, June 16, 1S96, after a lingering illness of several months, caused by a disease cf the stomach. Deceased came to California in 1S50, and emigrated to Oregon in 1S59, settling on Roberts Creek, in that year, and by great industry made a very comfortable home, gaining by his hon orable dealing, the good will of his neighbors and of citizens in ceneral. He was a person of moral worth and a trne friend to the deservinc. Our late esteemed friend was born in Illinois, JulvGO, 1SS0. and there some of his relatives are still residing. His body was taken to Myrtle Creek, and there in the Odd Fellows' cemetery rests ail that is mortal of our late friend, until the resurrection of the dead. The bell is tolling for a brother, Gone to rest for evermore, Warning us to loye each other If we would reach the happy shore A while he's gone far from our vision, Yet. we'll see his face again, For it is God's great decision: "He shall rise at trump's refrain."

W. W. Cardwell, who has been at ortlacu lor Ecyeral days returned last ight. He brings word that Judge Bellinger has granted a new trial to Pool and Case,convicted of mail robbery, July 1, 1S95. And the attornejs for the defense in this case, A. Abraham and W. W. Cardwell, are jubliant and the accused are happy. The report from the Black Republican mine on Myrtle creek, owned by Flint, Kimball and Rice is quite flattering. Tho reck assays from $5 to $1-10 per ton. These gentlemen fancy themselves al ready millionaires. How would that sound to the populists of -Douglas? Only think of it, three millionaires in Douglas county. Whew, it would ruin U3. Well, we ask.for a little more of the ruin, whether copper, silver or gold. A rather serious runaway look place this morning about 7 o'clock.

Dr. Cvffman W3s called and senedup a wcund in the elder boy's head. He is now ia a fair way of recov ery.

A story ia told of an astronomer whose personal habits were not the most cleanly, that cne evening ho turned his telescope upon the moon, when Io, and behold! he saw a great commotion in that orb, and with bated breath called a brother astronomer's attention to it. His companion looked at old luna through the same optical instrument, but all was serene, no commotion was seen by him. Upon investigation, it was found that a louse was in the "eye-winkers" of the first named astronomer, whose scramb ling caused the apparent disturbance in the moon. So with the Reyiew, it has A. P. A. on the brain, and that has so distorted its vision that it cannot see any disturbance of any character, by whom mads or when and where, but it at once refers it all to A. P. Aism. If an anti-A. P. A. hag an attack of jim jams, (and many often do', if the baby has the colic, if by chance the salt cellar is overturned on the table or a fly drops into the hash, they are all the diabolical works of the A. P. A.'s, and the Review fairly howls with rage at the impending evil and shouts itself hoarse at thii supposed infernal abraca dabra. More Atrocities. New York, June 22. The American three-masted scbomer Mabel Hooper, of Rockland, Me., which has just arrived in this harbor, brings news oi fresh atrocities by the Spanish troops in Cuba. The Hooper sailed 10 days ago from iagua, on tne north coast of Cuba, and in Santa Clara province. While at that port the American consul told the cap tain of the Hoopsr, in substance, this storv : The Spanish commander of the post there had orders from Havana Io see to it that all the tobacco planted near Sogua should bo taken to that city. A large tobacco plantation, three miles south of Sagua, is owned by Mr. Gon zales, said to bo an American citizen. The Spanish commander summoned Gonzjles to his headquarters, and asked why he had failed to comply with the captain-general's proclamation. Mr. Gonzales explained that the Spanish troops had taken all his horses and cat tle, and he could not cart his tobacco. "I am satisfied with your explana tion," said the Spanish commander, "you iu3y return to your plantation." "The Spaniards then ssut a for young lieutenant, and instructed him to take a guard and escort Mr. Gonziles to lm plantation. Upon his arrival at the plantation Mr. Gonzales was met by his wife and their five small children. " 'You may enter jour house,' said tho lieutenant, 'and yon will remain there until I send for you.' '"Shortly afterward the soldiers piled n lot of dry grass and shavings about the house and set fire to it. The smoke soon compelled tho family to leave, and as they walked out of the rear door, tho front of tho building in flames, all were shot doan. "The lieutenant reported to his com mander that Gonzales and his family had tried to escape, end were shot be cause they disobeyed orders in leaving the house. General Gomez arrived near Sagua some days later at the head cf an army said to have numbered 10.C00. Whan he learned how the Spaniards had killed Mr. Gonzales and his family he became furious." Mr. A. S. Payne of Pokegama, and Miss Bertie Richardson of Roseburg, Oregon, wero married nt PicarJ on Sun day, Juuo 21st, by Justice of Peace E. L. Nash. Mr. Payne "s well known in this viciuity, and his many frieai's wiil wish him much joy in his new relations. His happy wife also has many happy frifr.ils at her home, and we opine that sjnie of her acquaintances will envy her husband's fortune. Mr. Payne will lo cate at Pokegama, where In will con tinue in the business 'of carpenter and builder. Yreka Journal.
