Hermann hns always hail a good word t -any for-Senator Mitchell, and has hie.ex..xnais a.. statement . that could be construed otherwise. Senator Mitch ell has not been deserted by his friends. ( but Is being warmly-defend by every one of them. Hon.. Geo. C. Brownell has not been recommended by Sena tor Fulton for the United States dis trict attorneyship, and no one will bt recommended for ,the position until the charges against John H. Hall have been Investigated. Hon. John H. Mitch ell has not been convicted of any com plicity In the land frauds and it Is ex- jtremely doubtful If he will be. The whole story Is a base fabrica tion, originating in the depraved mind of either a senile democrat, or some worthless politician who has been de posed from office for crookedness. Xo other man would or could be guilty of resorting to such contemptible meth ods to besmirch the character of so honorable a gentleman as Hon. John H. Mitchell. We are not discussing Today's Weather.

POUTICIAL PREVARICATORS. . . The Tacoma Ledger published a spe cial dispatch from Portland that for falsehood and unreliability has never been equalled In the annals of journ alism. It was no doubt written by a democrat who Is ignorant of politics In Oregon. The dispatch. In part. Is as follows: ; - "Portland. Ore., Jan. 1. Following close on the heels of the Indictment by the federal grand Jury of Senator John H. Mitchell, the political machine which for 17 years has almost continuously controlled the destinies and designs of politics in Oregon has begun to dis Integrate. Before Francis Joseph Heney came to Oregon to investigate and prosecute for land frauds, barely eight months ago, everything was for Mitchell. Before the grand Jury re ported its last indictments, no one dared to say he was not for Mitchell, for the power of the man endured. But today Mitchell has passed, the mechan ism that he Invented, perfected and employed to his own political aggran dizement is useless from lack of power, and no man will say he Is 'for Mitch ell. "The Mltchel machine is smasheJ and they stand alone, each pitted against all others. After accomplish ing, slnglehanded and silently, some thing that stump speakers, campaign funds and political generalship has often failed to do, Francis Joseph Heney has started for San Francisco, where he must attend to other legal business, carrying with him, it is al leged, documentary evidence that John H. Hall, who was yesterday removed by the president from the position of district attorney for Oregon, is involved "This is the reason for the disintre gatlon of the Mitchell machine. The senator cannot protect himself, can not assist his friends. As a result he Is deserted. The weakening of the Mitchell power is shown In another way. The city administration is being Investigated by the county grand jury and rottenness and corruption are be ing unearthed. It is rumored that the chief of police and mayor both Mitch ell favorites are to b indicted. "Even Blnger Hermann has no good word to say for the senator. He stout ly protests his own Innocence of the charge but does not say Mitchell is In nocent. "New political combinations are al ready being formed. Senator Fulton has recommended George C. Brownell for district attorney and Harvey W. Scott has renewed hope of sitting In the United States senate.' There is not a word of truth In the statement, except the date line of the dispatch. Hon. John H. Mitchell has not controlled the politics of Oregon for the past 24 years, neither are all the federal appointments In Oregon dictated by him. For six or eight years Hon. Jos. Simon controlled the politics of the state, and both be and Hon. G. W. McBride served in the United States senate formerly held by Mitchell. Mayor Williams was not elected by the Mitchell faction, but by the Oregonlan contingent Chief of Police Hunt Is not a Mitchell man. United States District Attorney Hall was not recom mended for reappointment by Mitchell hut by Senator Fulton. Hon. Blnger JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE. The killing of Frank Frits In Port land Wednesday by Henry H. !xoml for alienating his wlfe'a affections, would be considered, under ordinary circumstances as justifiable homicide. No man has a right to Interfere In or break up the family of another, and there Is no provision of the criminal statutes sufficient to punlxh such of fenders. When a man who has been wronged, takes the law Into his own hands and kills the disrupter, a Jury will Invariably return a verdict of Justification. Had young Loomla simp ly killed Flrts It Is probable thnt he would have been acquitted. According to the statement of the woman's mother she was partldpas crlmlnas, In that she encouraged her daughter In her affec tlons for Frlti. ' She Is now suffering the penalty brought about by her own actions. Had she remonstrated with her daughter," In her clandestine out ings with Frlti a murder would have been averted and her daughter would have been alive. The worst crime that can be commit ted, even worse than murder. Is for a man to abuse confidence reposed In him by alienating the affections of another man's wife and breaking up his home. It is of too frequent occurrence and the only way to effectually stop the helnlous practice Is with a dose of cold lead judiciously administered. OH HORRORI Predicament of the Sheriff, Vlem Boel ling and The Aitorian. Sheriff Llnvllle was treading In state ly fashion down Commercial street yes terday afternoon, but his course was suddenly arrested, and the 265-pound sheriff stopped, trembling In his tracks. He would face a gun or a murderer without changing his complexion but the merits of the case, neither do we j this was worse, and the sheriff hastily believe any man is guilty until proven Innocent. It Is extremely doubtful if the evidence of a self-convicted thief will be taken against the evidence of an honorable gentleman. Juries do not render verdicts upon any such hypo thesis. The attack Is unwarranted, un just and absolutely false. "TOO LATE; TE CANNOT ENTER NOW. The following taken from yesterday's Oregonlan shows commendable action on the part of the managers of the Lewis and Clark fair in Portland "To those local firms who gave to the Lewis and Clark fair shall be given back in the shape of space manyfold; to those who gave not shall no pac be given, none at all. The exhibits committee of the board .has been hec tored for more and more space by those who have been the least willing to dig Into their pockets when the fair was getting on Its legs and needed money. and these are for the greater part not willing to take stock now, still they clamor for space. But they will not get it, and those who have taken stock and are now willing to take more and are loyal to the exposition are to have two ells on the machinery and trans portation building erected for their especial benefit. "This, with a good many mors things was decided by the committee as it went about the grounds yesterday aft ernoon looking up sites for some small buildings which exhibitors are anxious to build for themselves. The Important business of the afternoon was deciding upon the size of the ells to be erected and 125x120 feet was agreed to. Those will be'entirely taken up by local manu facturers who have supported the fair." There seems to be the same element in Portland tha( Infests Astoria. When ever a regatta Is given, or any public entertainment and the people and mer chants are called upon to contribute. there are always a certain class of peo ple who never advertise and never contribute a cent to the enterprises, who, after the affair assumes definite shape and is certain to be a success. always come in on the tall end of the procession and want to reap some of the benefits. A newspaper works hard to build up a city and benefit every merchant, yet these drones In the hive of industry never contribute one cent to ward aiding the enterprise. The Port land contingent of fossilized Silurians are now reaping the reward due to all barnacles on the body politic, and not only are the gates of the Lewis and Clark fair to be closed against them, but they will no doubt be denied ad mission to the pearly gates of the New Jerusalem. NEEDS A BOTTLE OF LINTON'S COUGH SYRUP. That life Is the result of purely phy sical and chemical forces, Irrespective of any divine or vital forces, has been declared by Prof. Albert P. Matthews of the University of Chicago to his class in physiological chemistry. While refusing to dispute the theory of the divine origin of life, Professor Matthews took the stand that the pres ent creation of life has been proved to be the result of purely physico-chemical reactions. "Certain chemical substances," he says, "coming together under certain conditions, do and are bound to produce life, no matter what theologians may say. There is no getting away from facts and the results of laboratory ex periments In regard to the production of certain phenomena of life are con vincing." Prof. Matthews predicted it Is only a matter of time before life Itself will be produced in the laboratory. side-stepped and circled around th object of suspicion, then he yelled for help. Vlem Boelllng was across the street and hurriedly responded to get the fee for helping apprehend the criminal, and after the sheriff had nearly Jerked Vlem's arm out of Joint he was brought to focus his eyes on the cause of the disturbance, and then timidity seized Boelllng for Its own, and the two "In treplds" fell Into each others arms, and let loose another squawk for help that brought The Astorlan reporter on the gallop. The moment was critical. The reporter gasped when he saw the exhibit, but he had seen something similar before, and stood his ground, They are In his desk now, and any heavily veiled lady who has lost some thing can have the same by sending a district messenger boy to The Asto rian office to notify the city editor to get out of the way; then open the top drawer of his desk, and the garters are In the pink paper on the right just under the copy of Byron's Don Juan. oo0oooooc)osoo0(50oo !)oaftt00( .. ..
