ARE AMERICANS LITIQIOVSt
Mr. Joseph Choate, the celebrated
lawyer of New York, stated recently
that England hag only thirtv-t.wo judges
to attend to the wants of 30.000,000 peo
ple, while the state of New York alone
baa 140. This contrast is an instractive
commentary on the litigious disposition
of oar people. Two-thirds of the litiga
tion in our courts is without valid ex
case. We rush to law f..r nothing, and
a large part of the contentions in .our
courts do not rise in dignity or import
ance above the quarrels of schoolboys.
Oregonian.
We question the assertion that the
people of the United States are of a
more litigious disposition than the
English. The condition of their prop
erty and the courts and bar are so un
like that of the people of England that
any comparison in this respect does an
injustice to Americans. In this coun
try almost every head ot a family, ex
cept in larger cities, has, or claims to
have, an interest in real property; many
own small tracts of land ; estates are
divided among heirs upon the death of
the owner; conveyances of real property
are frequent, and contracts pertaining
to the sale if real propertv are much
B)ore frequent; real property is easily
encumbered; and in many other re
spects transactions out of which litiga
tion arises, though less in importance,
' are far greater in nn'mber in the United
. State?.
Again, litigation, except perhaps in
: eqi'1; y, is much more teadily disposed
of there. An Oscar Wilde is tried twice,
. sentenced and imprisoned within a few
. days. A case of that importance h-re
would have occupied weeks in a single
trial. In England the ablest lawyers
only are placed upon the bench. In
many of the states men of little experi
ence are frequently elevated to the
bench. Such men will require days to
try a cafe which should occupy only
lew hours. Again, lawyers are easily
made in this country, and the expense
of litigation to litigants is less; but mis
trials are on this account far more fre
quent. Nothing helps a trial court to
correctly tiy a case so much as able
lawyers ; nothing renders appeals neces
sary so much as iguorant and inexne
Tie need lawyers.
The trouble is not with the disposition
of our people so mnch as with the courts
and bar. More care in the admission to
the bar and in the selection ot judge
for both the trial and supreme benches
would greatly reduce the work of the
courts.
proves the stronger the result will be a
triumph for the breadth of American
thinking and a universal desire of free,
intelligent discussion of important ques
tions. If only the speakers will seek to
prove their statements and not merely
make declarations many minds now
muddled on the silver question will be
shown the light.
If the saloons had been always closed
at midnight a former nightwatchman
would have been less likely to have been
held ud. as baDDened in The Dalles
gome time ago. Men have been known
to lose their guns by being - on duty in
saloons between midnight and morning.
Within a short time two merchants j
from a neighboring, and to some extent
rival, city have located in The Dalles.
We welcome them here, and wish them
success. They evidently see into tue
future, and appreciate the " promising
outlook for our city.
MIDNIGHT CLOSING OF SALOONS
"Citizen" in yesterday's issue suggest
the closing of saloons from midnight to
6 o'clock in the morning. This ha
been found to be a very salutary regu'm
tion in other places, and ought to be tl
law everywhere. No man has any need
of a saloon after midnight, and when
trouble arises in them it is oftener after
than before midnight. As suggested by
the communication referred to, the bet
ter class of men in the business would
no doubt be glad to close at midnight, i
till were required to. Let us have sucl
n ordinance.

This is another evidence of returning

Besides these there is a patent from

The credit system is a heavy weight to carry, and
those who pay must make up for the ones that do
not. The only way to have low prices is to sell for
cash, and that is what we are going to do.

There seems a discrepancy in the re

cardine the CaFcade locks, and the
statements from time to time given ou
by the contractors. Major Poet speaks

1'hia is considerably later than the time
set by Mr. Day, and would turn the
Christmas gift into a Fourth of July
offering. But we will not murmur;
either date will be satisfactory to the
people of Eastern Oregon, and all we
ask is that the locks be ready for next
year's clip of wool and crop of grain.

to "monkey" with the wheat market,
and it is utterly impossible to determine
what is the real condition of the market.
If it were madd a crime to deal at all in
grain not now in existence and ready

the producers and consumers of the
