A LUDICROUS CHANGE OF
' FR0NT-
" O, MR. BRISTOL Is aot to be
. made the scapegoat for the de-
J ' lay In the land fraud prose
;. ' cutions after all. Secretary
, Garfield and Land Commissioner
Balllnger hare at last discovered
that the cases vera never placed In
; Bristol'! hands, and that the evi
dence has not been In his possession.
It is certainly a very belated dls
; cover, and the two Washington of
ficials' are now tumbling over one
another in their eagerness to have
Ihe'lrials'prbceed an'd'to'give to the
district attorney the assistance which
has been wltheld for more than a
year. It is a-ludicrous change of
front, plainly due to the fear of pub
lic criticism. We would suggest to
the administration apologists that
the "explanations" which they are
now giving forth might much better
be withheld. Nobody is deceived. The
. truth Is that there is no more glory
' la the, prosecution of the Oregon
" land frauds, and it is at least ex
tremely doubtful whether the gov
, ernment can score in subsequent
cases such a series of convictions
as were secured in the past It the
remaining cases could have been
uietly shelved and fergotten, it
would have have been eminently sat-
. isfactorr at Washington, But the
. hopes of such , a disposition of the
untried -, cases ' were rudely dis
turbed when The Journal called pub-
; He attention to the situation.
7 , The attorney-general and the sec
retary of the interior have been
ware for a year past that Mr. Heney
' was so fully occupied at San Fran
', cisco that it would be impossible for
him to come to Portland for many
months at least,. to resume the land
' fraud trials. Having this knowl
edge, why did they not empower Mr
Bristol to go ahead, Instead of keep-
log his hands tied until the very eve
of the reconvening of congress, when
the effort to remove him from office
; will be resumed' once more?
'.If' 1 -'-
,x According to v Washington dis
patch, obviously framed in defense
; of the administration's land fraud
policy, it has occurred to Secretary
Garfield and Commissioner Bal linger
that the land fraud trials "might be
