HAKE PUNISHMENT CERTAIN.
-There is a moral conveyed in the kill
ing of the murdered Blanck, near Seat
tle that the courts would do well to
heed, and that ia to administer justice
with certainty and celerity. Blanck had
been convicted of a cold-blooded mur
der, and had been sentenced to be
hanged. The date for nis final taking
cff had been put in the remote future,
with the evident intent of permitting
the criminal to die of old ageor to at
least give him Buch an opportunity as
that which he took advantage of to re
gain his liberty. The law wisely pro
vides every possible safeguard for the
protection of every individual accused of
crime, so that the innocent may not
suffer. When this is done, all that Is
required is done, and when the accused
is found guilty beyond the shadow of a
doubt, as in Blanck's case, the machin
ery of the law should move speedily to
the ciminal's taking off.
- We remember the situation in Carson
City, Nevada, (then Utah) in the winter
and spring of 1860. There were no
courts in the district comprised ot the
countieB of St. Mary's, Humboldt and
Carson, which comprised the present
state of Nevada. The father of the
writer was on the bench in Utah at the
time, and was assigned to this district.
Court was opened in April and several
murderers were tried, promptly convict
ed and sentenced ; but owing to lack of
jail and the action of sympathizers, each
criminal in turn escaped. After two or
three occasions 'Of this kind, a man
named Kerr was arrested, charged with
killing two immigrants. The . charge
was proved, confessed by the prisoner,
and the jury brought in a verdict of
guilty Wednesday afternoon. He was
sentenced to be hanged the next morn
ing between the hours of 10 and 12
o'clock, and he was banged at 10:15.
That was the beginning of an era of law
and order, and followed by a vigilance
committee stringing up six toughs at
Austin, broke up the gang that had for
a year terrorized the country.
The law has accomplished its purpose
when it has protected the innocent and
punished the guilty, and only then.
Sure and speedy punishment alone will
prevent crime, or at least pat the crimi
nal convicted out of the way, and cut off
his power for doing further evil.
HE IS MISTAKEN.
The Dalles people are going wild over
the "prospect of the D. P. & A N. Co.
that owns the steamers Regulator and
Dalles City, proposing to sell out to the
O. R. & N. As for us, we look on com
placently, and rather hope the railroad
company will get the line and make their
monopoly as complete from The Dalles
down as it is - above. The fact of the
business is, the people of The Dalles
care little for the interests of other sec
tion than their own. If they can have
an open river they are willing appar
ently for the river to be closed for every
other section ; and for this reason we
are inclined to favor the O. R. & N. mo
nopoly so that we can have The Dalles'
influence for an open river above, as
well as below that city. Arlington
Record.
Brother Johns ia usually fair-minded,
impartial and just in all his criticisms ;
but in the above article he makes a sad
mistake. While it is true that The
Dalles baa more interest in the removal
of obstructions at the Cascades than any
point above, it is not true that she is
willing to see the balance of the river
closed. There is not a business man in
the city but that desires to see the Col
ombia open to navigation clear to the
' British Columbia line. There is not a
citizen of The Dalles who is not deeply
interested in the overcoming of the ob
structions to navigation near here. It
is of more importance to ns, perhaps, to
have the river open below, but it ia still
of vast importance that it be opened
above. If Brother Johns will suggest
anything that the people here can do to
facilitate the removal of obstructions
between Celilo and this point, he will
find them willing and anxious to doit.
THE MORAL WAVE.
Many of the women who have been
living in recognized bouses of ill-repute,
taking alarm at the vigorous action of
officers, have sought refuge in lodging
houses. Whether they can escape ar
rest by this move remains to be seen,
and doubtless the raiding of that class
of lodging-houses will follow after the
moral wave has expended its force in
other directions.- ome of the women
are in abject terror over the new situa
tion of affairs. Those who have been
provident enough to save money are
nrAnarinff ir Iaava. vhfln Afhm-s anA
naturally the more numerous class, with
hardly a dollar between themselves and
starvation, do not know which way to
turn in order to live. The condition of
some of these outcast women is pitiful,
and it is likely they will have to be cared
for through charity, or become public
charges. Uregonian.
There is a whole Btory told in the first
five lines of the above article. It ia the
history of every city that has attempted.
to abolish the evil. It exists, and it is
going to exist in eome form jast as long
as the world exists. It may be stopped
in one place, but it will simply change
locations. The authorities and the mor
alists may well pauee before they force
the offenders from their haunta in cer
tain districts ' into the private lodging
bouBes, where their power for evil will
be multiplied a hundred times.
Fair baa been dead some time, but the
stream of children, brevet wives and
other claimanta for hia property shows
no signs of decreasing. If each of the
claimanta proves hia case, Fair will be a
fair rival in laxity of morals to Shacabac
himself, and in prolificness might well
shy his castor into the arena with the
Barmecide of Damascus. Their name is
legion instead of Fair, and that is
where a whole lot of the fighting is going
to come in.
Reports from Chicago say that since
snowfall in February there has been no
precipitation or moisture in the entire
region from the eastern slope of the
Mississippi valley to the base - of the
Rocky mountains. The stage of the
water in the Mississippi, Missouri and
Illinois rivers is the lowest on record for
this time of the year. The ground is so
hard that the farmera cannot turn the
soil with the plow. Reports from the
winter wheat belt say that the plant is
damaged, and if the rain does not come
soon the crop will not be over one-half.
