POLITICAL PESSIMISTS.
The average man who once gets
an office never seems to be satisfied
afterward to be a priyate citizen.
The time comes when he is left out
and riht there commences the win
ter of his discontent, There are no
more cheering crowds for him, no
more fawning adherants asking for
favors. In a little while his stomach
becomes sonred, his gall sack over
. flows and he becomes a disgruntled
Pessimist.
Yoa may have, at some period in
jour existence, noticed men who hare
been honored in the past with high
offices. They are ont now. Daring
the two or three days the crowd
gathers in convention, yoa never
hear them speak a pleasant word
either to any man or about any man.
Compared with them, vinegar would
seem like genuine maple molasses.
They could, not sav good morning,
without a 6narl, and the look on
their faces would sour milk while it
whs warm from the cow.
Yoa may have noticed wandering
about otber men who a lew years
ago cut much ice in politics. Some
of them might have aspired to a Beat
in the state legislature, the United
States senate, in the national house
of representatives, or perchance the
nomination for governor of the state.
Now they are out of (be swim entire
ly. Nobody seems to be paying any
great attention to them. Few con
sult them abont what ought to be
done, and apparently nobody cares
what their opinion might be on anv
question.
It wonld be better to be a private
citizen all the days of your life and
preserve your content and good na
'tare, than to have occupied the high
est oflice in the nation and feel as
seme ex-office holders seem to feel.
Yoa can find them scattered abont
over tha state, and if yoa were to go
to other states yon would find the
conditions about the same stranded
' political wrecks, derelects drifting on
the political sea. Once they were
important factors, held office; had
patronage to distribute, and were
fawned upon by people who wanted
favors. Now they have, by their
own selfish acts, become has-beens,
neglected, almost forgoMen. Some
of these men have managed to re
main reasonably cheerful, bat most
of them are dif.gr UDtled and bilious.
Better, as a rule, stick to business.
lead an honorable life: stand by the
party and men who have 6tood by
yon; keep clieerfal and contented
and your life will beat the life of the
average r.ssimist as badly as four
aces are said to beat an abbreviated
flash.
SOMEWHAT POLITICAL.
The Portland Journal of recent
date in an announcement abont tne
political writer says:
"The Senatorial fight will soon be
on and he is anxions to be on hand,
as he is deeply interested " in Oregon
politics, and will be able to entertain
Journal readers with some bright
bits of political inside history, before
the fight is closed."
Weil! well! we heartily desire to
see the lime light turned on to illu
minate "ib bright bits of political
inside history" so as to know what
trade there is on between the demo
crats and an erstwhile republican
traitor to reward him for sulking in
his tent and electioneering for a
democratic successor. Yea, verily,
selah, torn on the limelight.

A DESERVING COMPLIMENT.
The officers of the llosebarg land
office are, as the saying is, "up to
their necks in work," nowadays,
The rush of timber land and Lome-
stead filings, proofs, etc,, is unprece
dented. Messrs. Bridges and Booth,
however, are handling the work in
splendid shape, and their uniform
courtesy and accommodating spirit
toward the patrons of the office has
made them friends with all who have
had occasion to do business with
them. No action more satisfactory
to the people of this land district
conld be made by the interior de
partment than the reappointment of
both these gentlemen at the expira
tion of their present term of office.

"THE STREET FAIR GRAFT."
mat, tireei fairs ana carnivals are
eenenciai to cities in Inch they are
held, is no longer questioned. Their
many and great advantages are now
nniversany conceded. lhe experience
of the past few years has taught linn
dreds of Brian communities that i
greet fair is the best, the birgest and
the most lasting advertisement that
town or city can have. The street fair
has come to stay. There are many rea
sons why street fairs and carnivals have
become a permanent institution. They
benefit cities where they are ht-ld in
many ways, both directly and indiiwtly.
The mere fact that a city holds
street fair demonstrates the active, wide
awake, progressive public spirited
character of its bus-imvs uirn, thus tli?
city is advertised.
Of course the greatest advantage of
street fairs is their lasting advertisment
of the cities in which they are held
reople nalurallv bring their trade to
a progressive town in preference to one
that is behind the times. But, if there
were no after n suits, I still - maintain
that a street fair is a profitable invest
nient for any city.
Street fairs are a gnrnHhiug not only
because they keep trade from rival
cities, hut because they keep trade from
going to larger cities.
Streerlairs have a omnterai-tinz ef
fect. They keep trade at home jeo-
ple who would otherwise go to the
"city" to see various amusement, at'
tractions, etc.
Well, our bnsiness men are going to
have a street fair here. They are jroing
to spend a lot of money for attractions.
I can see just as good show here at home
as I can by going to the city. Our bnsi
ness men are very liberal in-bringing
these attractions to our very doors. It
is my du ty and my pleasure to stay at
home, enjoy our street fair and patron
ize our home mercliants, instead of go
ing to the city and spending my -money
among strangers. Last year and year
before we had a street fair, and on the
whole they were brilliant successes.
People were agreeably surprised ' ujon
witnessing the various amusements,
that they were not up against a "fake"
oi a "graft" but on thecontrary were wit
nessing ierformances of real merit, and
it is certain that hereafter should Rose
hurg hold other street fairs we will !
accorded the most literal patronage of
the public.
. Cut out Cosco, fajtirs, tin horn gam
blers and the like, and the jeople will
greatly appreciate tlie free street fair.
They will feel very kindly toward the
merchants f who pay the bill) for their
amusement and they will try to recip
rocate, not only during fair week bnt
during tlie entire year.
Street fairs and carnivals have come
to stay and they will always be profita
ble when projK'rly conducted. The in
troduction of immoral and objectionable
features has made them niioptil.ir in
some localities, but there is. no reason
why th? introduction of such features
should blind a bnsiness man to the len
elits of a street fair, devoid of nuch ob
jectionable features.
Because by some accident or injury a
dead limb aptx-ars on a fruit tree, it is
not neewssary to cut down the tn-e

may be applied to a street fair, as well

street fair will be 'a brilliant suceess.

The machinery for W. P. Johnston's

engaged tohawl it to place where t imber

that is the only means of stimulating

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER.
Lovell Gets Seven Years in the Peni
tentiary. Other Circuit
Court News.
After deliberating for six and one-half
hours, the jury in the case of Thos. H.
Ixivell, charged with the murder -of
Horace L. Roadman near Wilbur last
July, returned a verdict of manslaughter
at 9 o'clock Friday evening. The defend
ant was recommended to the mercv of
the court. The statutory ienalty for
such crime is imprisonment for from
one to fifteen years in the state peniten
tiary. This morning at 10 o'clock was the
hour set for Lovell to receive sentence.
He was brought lefore Judge Hamilton
at the appointed hour aud was
sentenced to a term of seven years in
the penitentiary. . He was escorted to
Salem by Sheriff Parrott today, and
turned over to the authorities at the
state penal institution. Lovell was ably
defended by Attorneys John Long and
A. M. Crawford, District Attorney
Brown and lxt-r Rito representing
the state. Ijovell had Ucn expecting
acjuittal and was therefore downcast
upon learning the verdict and sentence.
On the other, hand, the iirosecution
holds that only for the lack of the testi
mony of Carl Lovell, the defendant's
son who w as recently drowned, did they
fail to make the punishment more
severe.
EVAJCS VS KCBTZ.
The attention of the circuit court
Saturday was occupied with the case of
S. D. Evans vs. C J. Kurtz, lieing tried
before a jury and continued over from
Friday. Mr. Evans asks damages to the
amount of 3,307-"i0, which he claims to
be the value of his prunes spoiled
through tlie alleged breach of contract
on the jiart of Mr. Kurtz to dry them.
Attys. O. P. Coshow and W. R. Willis
represented Mr. Evans, while Atty. J.
C. Fullertou and Geo. M. Brown acted
for Mr. Kurtz. The ca.e was submitted
to the jury Saturday evening which re
turned a verdict for defendant Kurtz.
As we go to press the attention of the
court is occupied with the jury case en
titled : F. B. Wait executor, plaintiff,
vs. Sampson Sutherlin, defendant,

TEXAS LAW.
There is a disposition in our courts to
admit the decisions of the Texs court
of criminal appeals to be the guide in
criminal proceedings. If this tiling goes
on Oiegon will turn alx.nt every cold
blooded murderer loose npon the public
and in fact make a martyr of him. The
facts underlying the strange decisions of
the Texas supreme courts iu criminal
cases are: The judge who gave those
decisions was himself- a cold blooded,
pre-nieditated murderer, and only es
caped the gallows by a technicality of
law. He was a lawyer then ami an all
round shielder and protector of crime
and criminals. He managed to seenre
through the gamblers, saloons and bums
the democratic nominations and has
leen elected and re-elected to that posi
tion, and his decisions have always been
in behalf of criminals if they were able
as in the Clay county, I exas, case
where three brothers were most foully
murdered by the hirelings of a cattle
company and the judge went fishing in
the Indian Territory and by mistake
took np the line baited by the lawyer
for the defensa and found on it a ten
thousand dollar fish. The decisions of
the court of criminal appeals in Texas
is a disgrace and a curse npon the state
at large, and for Oregon courts to follow
the criminal decisions of Texas courts
will bring untold disaster to the cause of
good government, for Texas is and has
always leen regarded as the heaven for
murderers.

The speaker emphasized the need of a
closer union between different denomi
nations for the carrying on of success

thusiastically received, lxvond this,
however, nothing was done to effect co
ojieration. We give it as our opinion
that such a consolidation of denomina

than we think. The difficulties seem
