WHO IS THE MURDERER?
The Oregonian yesterday had an ac
oonnt of the attempt of Judge Gibba of
Little Bock, Arkansas, to have bis son
pardoned ont of the penitentiary.. It
will be remembered by many that
Gibbs was a Pullman porter, and that
he shot and killed James McDevitt,
and also shot and severely wounded
Tom McDevitt, the depot master,
whom every traveler knew and liked.
As the Oregonian states the matter, the
entire jury that tried Gibba had signed
a petition for hia pardon, and that Gov
ernor Fennoyer was disposed to grant it
until he bad a conversation with M. C.
Pennington, the cashier of the Pullman
Company at Portland. What that con
versa tion was the governor and Mr.
Pennington know, but the latter gentle
man has not vouchsafed to say publicly
what he said to the governor.
We are not a believer in promiscuous
pardoning, nor do we believe that Gibbs
should be pardoned, though we thought
at the time, and still think that Gibbs'
crime was the legitimate outcome of the
Pullman Co.'s system of carrying on its
, business, by which that company hired
ita conductors and porters, but com-
' pelled the public to pay their salaries in
the ehape of tips. It appeared in the
trial of the case, as we remember the
testimony, that one of the rules of the
Pullman Co. was that the porter should
not allow passengera to put packages or
baggage in the Pullman car until it was
time for the train to start. On the 11th
day of October, 1889, Gibbs waa at the
depot in Portland attending to bis
duties about the car, it being an hour or
two before the time for the train to
leave. A lady came to the depot and
requested Gibbs to put some packages
in the car. Although it was against the
rules, Gibba acceded to the lady's re
quest, teing superinduced thereto by a
tip. Pennington came through the car
shortly alter, and seeing the package,
like many another petty official, took
advantage of hia discovery to abuse
' Gibbs. The latter retorted to the petty
tyrant's abuse by saying that the com
pany compelled him to eke out his sal
ary of $15 per month (the munificent
reward that Pullman paid for a month's
service) by taking tips. The result of
Pennington's verbal attack on Gibbs,
who showed all through the transaction
the more manly spirit of the two, waa
that the latter threw down his keys and
left the car. Pennington followed him,
and in order to vent hia spite, called
upon McDevitt, the depot master to ar
rest Gibbs for abusing bitn. As Mr
McDevitt started to arrest Gibbs, the
latter puiled a pistol and fired, the shot
striking McDevitt, and James, McDev
itt's son, seeing hia father's danger
rushed to hia rescue, receiving a bullet
from Gibbs' pistol in his breast. Gibbs
escaped and was caught in California
five weeks after.
On the trial Gibbs made a statement
on his own behalf. He said that Pen
nington had abused him ; that when he
left the caand McDevitt and Penning
ton came at him he was frightened ;
that he had been mobbed and beaten by
a gang of white men sometime before.
and that he, in his fright, imagined the
offense was going to be repeated.
Such, in brief, 'was the crime for
which Gibbs was sent up for life. It
would seem that Pennington, being
(however unwittingly) the Indirect cause
of the whole affair, might have found in
bis heart some trace of pity for the vic
tim of bis own petty officiousness, and
' yet be is the man (according to the Ore
gonian) who alone prevented by "a con
eraation with the governor," Gibbs'
pardon. It may be best that Gibbs
ehould suffer the full penalty of his
offense ; it probably is so, but he should
not pay that penalty alone. George M.
Pullman, whose grasping penuriousness
inaugurated the system of compelling
his employes to beg their salary from
bis Pullman's patron, should be in the
same cell with him, for he is as much
the murderer aB Gibbs.
Miss Edna K. Brown of Kanevi'.le, 111.,
has been working the whole country on
a stamp racket. Each party addressed
by her is requested to copy the letter
and send it to three friends, each re
turning the letter he has received, with
ten cancelled stamps, to Miss Brown at
Kaneville aforesaid. A Portland statis
tician figures i out that if each person
addressed obeys' orders, Miss Brown
would "receive eleven septillions of
stamps, and it would therefore take one
eeptillion and one hundred sextillion of
persons to send them. As there are
only seventy millions of people in the
United States," it will be easily seen that
the Portland statistician is worse in his
figures than a democratic campaign
committee. Expressed in numerals the
sum stated by the statistician and the
number of people in the United States
would compare as follows : The statis
tician's amount would be 1,100,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000, and the census
shows 70,000,000. It was by this same
system of calculating that an old philos
opher proved to his own satisfaction
at least, that the human family could
not have descended from Adam sfnd Eve
because each person having a father and
mother, and each of these having a
father and mother, the more remote the
generation from which descent was
traced, the more people it would re
quire, and that consequently the earlier
the period the greater the population. '
Our contemporary,, the Sun, seems to
lay great stress upon "What the people
want." Does not that paper under
stand that what the people want and
what the legislature wants to give them
are two different things. If we remem
ber correctly, the republican, demo
cratic and populist platforms each con
tained a demand for the abolishing of
the; railroad commission. Yet right
now three-fourths of the members of the
legislature, and nine-tenths of the lobby
are . candidates for the places on that
commission. If the railroad commis
sion is not abolished, let us all freely
and frankly admit that platforms, re
gardless of party, are made only to
catch votes, and no officer is, or should
be bound by the demands thereof.
. "Mandy," said Farmer Corntossel,"
"do I look anythin' like the picters of
Governor Altgeld of Illinois?" "I dun
no. Mebbe ye do jes' a little mite when
ye ain't shaved." "Well, thet explains
it. I got inter a crowd at the depot, an'
while we wus jostlin' around no less
than nine people asked me to pardon
'em." Washington Star.
A murder and robbery committed in
an express-car on the Bock Island rail
road some years ago, gave the detectives
one of the hardest cases tbey have ever
had to deal with. The Pinkerton de
tective story in McClure's Magazine for
Fehruary will be a history of this crime,
and of the ingenious and patient
methods by which the perpetrators were
finally brought to arrest and conviction.
Th representatives from Lane county
have been requested to secure the pass
age of an act to change the name of Long
Tom precinct. It was not thought nec
essary to request the change by petition,
as the present name is not appropriate,
while that of Hinton is and will perpetu
ate the name of the oldest pioneer.
