SENSATIONAL REPORT ' OF
CRIMES.
The extreme to which through the
ambition of professional detective mat
tors of this kind (referring to accusations
against Holmes) are carried, serve illy
the ends of justice. It is doubtful
whether they serve any more commend
able purpose than that which feeds a
morbid public appetite that constantly
fattens on crime, and ae constantly de
mands a freBh relay of food." Oregonian.
Thk Cbboniclb heartily concurs in
the foregoing ; the wrangling of lawyers
through the prees tends far lees al
though that is bad enough in its ten
dency to bring the courts into public
-disrepute, than the publication of gar
beled reports of expected testimony in
criminal cases. The paid detective is in
character not far from the criminal in
his disposition to thwart vile justice ; no
misrepresentation ia too gross for him to
use ; no trick too dishonest to be played ;
and when the accused is under arrest le
porters of the modern city papers are
too willing to feed the morbid appetite
lay publishing the statements of the de
tectives concerning the alleged crime,
and if the prosecuting officers remain
silent concerning the testimony, as they
certainly ought to do, but seldom do, the
enterprising reporter secures food for
this morbid appetite by making up a
statement for them. The public read
these misjointed, sensational and, to a
great extent, false statements of the tes
timony, and when the case comes on for
trial are prepared to convict before the
court has had ought to do with the case.
At the trial the evidence admitted to
the hearing of the jury is usually en
tirely unlike that upon which the pub
lic has rendered .its verdict and after the
trial results differently from what the
public would have it; the public there
upon denounces the trial as a farce, pro
claims the jury system a failure and
concludes that justice has miscarried.
Often the trial ia a failure and it is so
because of the officious: nge and inter
ference of the newspapers, whose-trial
of the case ia usually from the stand
point of the so-called detective. We be
lieve the press is largely to blame for
the "morbid appetite" of -the public;
and the trial of cases by the press upon
statements of detectives creates a public
contempt for courts and all that have to
do with the trial of cases.
SALOONS TO BE CLOSED AT
MIDNIGHT.
Upon a petition of a large number of
business men, the city council directed
an ordinance to be prepared which will
forbid keeping saloons open after mid
night. The action will be commended
by citizens generally. Other business is
done between the hours of 6 o'clock a
m. and 12 midnight and there is no good
reason why the saloon business should
be an exception ; there are, however,
many reasons why the men who run the
saloons and bar-rooms should be relieved
of any excuse for keeping open after
midnight. We believe very keeper of a
saloon in the city, unless it be a dive,
will approve the action of the council.
We hope the ordinance will be ob
served without compulsion, but if it is
not the executive of the city will see
that it is fctrictlv enforced.
TELEPHONE TO PRINE VILLE
A telephone line . from Prineville to
Ihe Dalles, would not only be a benefit
to both towns and intermediate country,
but would be a paying investment as
wen. iteview.
'It is coming, people of Prineville. We
have already made a beginning by start
ing a line to Dufur. Ten davs will see it
finished and pushed on towards King
eley. Prineville is its natural terminus
and though some time may elapse before
we can talk to Crook's county seat, yet
the same spirit that conceived and sup
ported the boat line and that has fought
for the completion of the locks these
many years will see to it that Prineville
will have telephone communication with
the outside world.
Saturday afternoon Sprague, Wash.,
. suffered a disaster like the one which
destroyed the larger portion of The
Dalles, on Sept. 2, 1891; both fires
started in the middle of the day and
, burned so fiercely that no fighting by a
fire department was of any avail. It is
the season of the year when a like catas
trophe may occur to any city, and tlie
utmost caution should be observed by
the officers of the fire department in see
ing that the lire apparatus is in perfect
The Dalles has a population variously
estimated from 3000 to 4000 ; it has five
public school buildings, besides one
large private ' school ; it has . eight
churches, besides the Salvation Army
organization ; there a re few communities
that are better supplied with the facili
ties which-make a community a safe and
desirable place in which to reside and
bring up a family. In fact there are few
places, taking all things into considera
tion, more desirable for a home than our
city.
General Coppinger has wired the war
department that the Indian trouble is
over; and there has been no massacre,
no battle and no Indians seen. There
have been a whole lot of reports. The
next time the settlers in Jackson's Hole
cry Indian ! they will be left in the hole,
or should be.
