The Astorian twllv that Mr. fhonvmn vtll hav mi aciiuittd. Th Astorian trusts that for bla ak and for Ut party to wblcb he belongs that will have full and fair Inves tigation, without prejudice, and that It will b ailonred to go to the Jury. But The Astorian will b greatly sur prised it Mr, Thomson la not vlndt rated; not by any assistance from the bench, but because there appears to W no evidence of his guilt except that hkh Is being adduced at the hands ft witnesses, confessed porjurers, and whoae testimony should have no stand in in any court '. The Astoriaa does not wish to be mis understood. Where there is misdoing, the perpretrator should be called to ac count. Personally, the editor of The Astorian might have strong sympathies . way or the other, but It has become ery apparent that the special repre sentatives of the interior department have-to find a Dreyfus" in Oregon or forever lose their Job. Salaries can not be paid to men who cannot find something to Justify the aaasual eoorse tf Hhchcoi in reva. Honest men like Oovemoe Burke can no be turned down for some nsrrow-Hilndl : rwrry. cWK whose 'priwIM nuali BaMiMi is an 4uKSerated Ma of his Important and whose slojraa was that SS to-r cent 'of mankind were crooked,' I unlaws there can be a contlnuane of the dirty stlrring-up which CHvgon baa teceed for nearly two years past. No doubt there have been cases of fraud In connection with Oregon's lad matters, but nothing can oe swum pllshtsl by doing the detective ai t with Iwlls thrvnfcfc men of the calibre and promptings of Mr. Hitchcock's confi dential agents tn Oregon. Vnless The Attwian Is gii?nt!y mistaken, ana .1 will cham its reputAikvi as a propel ! the Thomwnt case will kioin up as the rttnwt ignus t&tuus ever chased by 6 00 ! Col. Orvene, and backed up by a gwg &l . riinviMitihki blackmailers, who should be in the jenitentiry. f I this pal'- mistake not. they will have , dtmcult time In keeping out of that Institution, This paper does not pretend to sy that the general land oK has not special agents of worth. Indeed, under th circumstances, with the clouds of distrust hanging over Oregon's land matters, .it Is favorable to the aetlHr that proofs should be passed up by a fair and Impartial representative of the general land offloe. There are many of such In Oregon and they must not be confounded with Mr. Hitchcock's lands haw been heavily cut. and the company desires to iut them in the best possible condition both tor the benefit of the forests themseles and for the scenic effects. 60 C, W.

Policemen In Portland, Oregon, are much dissatisfied with the uw charter of that city. Is It has prevented them from makirc "side"" money. WhenS George L. Baker, manager of the Baker 3Mterprts, produced "The King of the Opium Ring," at the Empire Theater, he offered to place seven po licemen on a salary during the run of that play, the offleers being wanted to add reVnsm In a Chinatown raid. The opportunity was such that the po licemen, who were not on night duty. were eager to accept, as they would be making as much f live minutes work at each performance as they received from h city for a day's services. A question was raised as to (he rights of officers in doing outside work, and as a result the policemen had to forego the opening to Increase their bank ac count. There is a clause tn the charter which explicitly declares that all re rds, grifts, and presents given o of ficers, other than their regular salary from the municipality, shall be contrib uted to the police relief fund.
