THE PHILADELPHIA INCIDENT.
The Ho'mes case ia unending in een
aatioae. The plot -vhich District Attor
ney Graham has unearthed, whereby
Holmes' lawyer, Shoemaker, hoped, by
the aid of a fictitious affidavit, to eave
his client's life, was a most diabolical
one, and shows to what extent human
conscience may be deadened to gain a
coveted point. The exposure of the
offending lawyer was complete, and the
people of Philadelphia will expect to see
summary justice dispensed. -'
: A clean judiciary is one of the safe
guards of the nation, but such a condi
tion will be hard of realization when
discredit falls upon the bar from which
the judiciary ia taken. In the large
cities it bas become common "to look
upon a lawyer who makes a sole business
of defending criminals with feelings not
altogether of trust, and it is such deeds
as that of Shoemaker which has caused
thisleeling. Not only do we hope that
ibe offender in this instance will be pun
ished, as he 'richly deserves, but that
others who may do similar deeds may
be caught at it.
.: 'The American bar contains ; some "of
- the brightest, purest and most trust
worthy of the nation's citizens, and any
one who has noted the services rendered
by these eminent men, dislikes to see
the profession brought in any disrepute
by the actions of unworthy members.
The lawyer is a minister of justice, and
is under as solemn obligation to the
stale as to the client whom he serves.
The method of admitting attorneys to
the bar has bseu too loose, and the re
sult is that unworthy men have ob
tained places ia the ranks ol lawyers.
The Oregon Bar Association is doing
good work in trying to weed out men
who are considered undesirable, and the
work should be aided ' by imposing
greater instructions at the start.
The rumor of the sultan's assassina
tion causes little surprise. Although
the report lacks confirmation there are
excellent reasons for believing it true.
The discontent and intrigues, which
from time to time hav3 been discovered
within the imperial palace, indicated
that opportunity was all that was
wanted for the deed to be done. The
assassination of Abdul Hamid will cause
neither the consternation nor regret that
the death of any civilized ruler would
have occasioned. Turkey has long ago
forfeited her place in the esteem of
nations. Her dissolution may be de
layed, but it is no less sure in coming.
The only thing that prevents an imme
diate breaking up of the empire ia that
the division of the spoils has not been
settled.
The Mitchell Monitor, which for over
a year bas had a varied existence', closed
its life with its last issue. The pub
lisher announces thatgetting out a news
paper in Mitchell is not what it waB
cracked up to be. The Monitor, under
the resent management, was a newsy
paper, devoted ..to the interests of the
section where it was published. We
are sorry to miss it from our exchanges.
THE BEAUTIFUL COLUMBIA.
Graphic Icci iptlou of Scenery Between
Tbe Dalles and Portland Rind
Treatment by the Officers
on the Boats.
There is no beauty in bud or blossom
until gazed upon with a loving eye, so
we euppose in the ancient of days the
Indian plied his light canoe on the lordly
Columbia and saw no beauty there, but
at length some poet of nature on pleasure
bent took a sail up her blue waters, saw
and noted the charm of river, tree ard
shore and then poured forth the -whole in
immortal story,' and eince then the most
matter of fict individual has b?en un
able to take the trip from Portland over
the Rhine of the West to The Dalles
without seeing beauty evewhere.
A few mornings ago we stepped on
board the Dalles City at the Portland
wharf en route for The Dalles. It was a
few minutes before Bix, and Oregon's
metropolis had not yet awakened to the
fnll activities of the day. The electric
lights were still burning, while the sky
wore a dark frown that told us we must
not look for the sun for a full hour.
"All aboard, sir," wae 'sounded at six
sharp and we steamed away to "be de
lighted by the pleasing and varying
shadow effects along the river. Many
boats were crowded along the banks,
each carrying its colored lanterns that in
the gray dawn shone like the bright eyes
of some eea monster, while the electric
lights from the city cast long trailing
silver streams that seemed to be running
between banks of golden gravel and to
go on and on to where no man ever was
certain. Afar on Portland Heights the
electric lights flashed in jeweled beauty,
and one involuntary began; to look for
Orion's shield,1 the bright Pleiades and
the many other constellations that make
the midnight sky so attractive to the
observer. The steamer behind threw
oat a heavy black pillar of smoke In
which the dancing red sparks frolicked
and played like children just out from
school, then the breeze would catch the
smoke, careSs it lovingly for a " moment
and our pillar would be transformed into
some dark genuii.
But day dawn is approaching, for tbe
red altar fires are burning on the mount
ains in tbe eastern horizon, while the
west remains dark and presents only
rude charcoal pictures. 'Mt. Hood, the
bride of the morning,' has now caught
the glowing flame, her snowy crystals
are turned to gold, brighter and brighter
she appears till the eye is dazzled with
the brilliancy, and . the king of day
has appeared. His first command seems
to be to send a troop of angels with
burnished wings to throw a ehower of
spirit flowers over the blushing bride,
making her eo fair and beautiful that we
bold the breath in ecstasy, -only for a
moment are we thus delighted, and then
emiTihg most sweetly' she wraps 'a white
veil of mist around her and our bride of
the morning retires with the king of day
tj a white palace of fog.
At about 9 :30 "the mists have rolled
in splendor from the mountains and the
hills and the sunshine warm and tender
falls in kisses in the rills." The scenery
along the banks - is ' most pleasing, the
forests are in their brightest autumnal
foliage. Old nature has been at work
with her paint brush, and seemingly has
used either shore for her palette on
which she has placed her most brilliant
reds, golds and crimsons. - These bright
colors are caught and reflected in all
their beauty in the river below.
Rooster Rock is one of the first points
of special interest pointed out, w e eay
special because all have been interesting
from the first moment. .. The next is
Cape Horn, a most peculiar handiwork
of nature, composed of massive rocks
that rise' in palisades -in abrupt and
rugged grandeur from the waters below'.
They are gray and moss covered and rest
on a peculiar formation not unlike piling
and one is lead to fancy the crumbled
foundation of the castle of eome feudal
ing, but closer study into the - twisted
tiers of stone above tell of the angry rage
of the volcano in earlier days. Tho
view becomes eo fascinating ' that we
long to be Argus-eyed in order to drink
it all in. Ever and anon a white veil of
mist i3 thrown ovgr some scene that
gives it a look ot lairy enchantment.
The Multnomah, Oneonta, Horse Tail
and Bridal Veil falls each call out all the
adjectives at our command and cause us
to think of the sublimity and goodness
o! God. Castle' Rock stands out in
fsudal splendor, surrounded by a strik
ing background of dark green, fair ai d
ragged cliffs.
The fisLwheels that are scattered all
along the banks ot the river are most
interesting and we eo wish we could see
them in operation. We are approaching
the rapids' now, the waters seethe and
boil and try to. make us believe we are in
the St. Lawrence, among tho. Thousand
Isles. At the Locks we' rest an hour and
investigate the extensive works being
constructed that are at present employ
ing some 300 men." 'The undertaking is
a large one to give an open liver, but we
believe the surrounding country jw ill
more than pay for it in a few years.
We next board the Regulator. For an
hour or more the scenery is seemingly
mere ragged and the mountains higher
than befjre. The rocks become hills,
the firs grow th"rckr and denser,' and
their needle pointed fingers sharper as
they point upward to the clear sky,
along the river banks the shore is sandy

of the forest, is past and we note the
solitary grave of the one pale face, who
was tuch a friend of the braves and de
sired to bo buried among them. The
mountains are growing lower, we have
lees timber, little stretches of ' grazing

we realize we are coming into a different
