THE JUDGMENT IN
STEEVES CASE.
THE
After several months of consideration
the supreme court baa set aside the ver
dict in the Steevea murder case and
granted the defendant a new trial.
Steeves was convicted, along with Banco
Kelly, for the atrocious murder of old
man Sayrs, and was given a trial before
& jury of hU peers. He was ably de
fended, or had the opportunity to be,
and claimed and received all the protec
tion which the law gives to those charged
with a crime of this degree. The jury
returned a verdict of manslaughter, and
Steeves received a fifteen-year sen
tence in the penitentiary, besides the
penalty of a heavy fine.
.Beyond the immediate circle of the
defendant's friends, the action of the
Bnpreme court will not meet with ap
proval. Steeves was given a fair trial,
no substantial injustice being done hi in
Oaring its progress. The jury was an
average one for intelligence and honesty,
and the judge leaning to the side of
mercy. Throngh the raising of fine
technical point?, the defendant's law
jers have succeeded in having the case
Temanded, and more than that, Steeves
has been declared acquitted of mnrder
m the first and second degrees, and can
only be arraigned for manslaughter.
It has long been conceded that some
thing is wrong with our administration
of justice. Opinions may differ as to
where the fault lies, but the general
conclusion is the same. The supreme
court is the weakest spot in the system,
for it is there where the principles of
jastice are made of less concern than
the rules of law. Juries may be con
demned, and sometimes justly; but if
the history of the courts were searched,
it would be found that even poised jus
tice had received more of her due at the
hands of juries than from the supreme
courts the Oregon one particularly.
The action of this body in the (Sandy
Olds cases is remembered to the dis
credit of the judges. Repeated convic
tions by the jury resulted only in the
cases being reversed at one time the
point being raised and considered that
the speech of the district attorney was
so eloquent that it swerved the judg
ment of the jury.
Steeves will be tried again and ac
quitted, for the same reason that the
jury in the last Olds case returned a ver
dict of manslaughter because it was
felt the supreme court would overrule
a verdict of higher degree. It is inci
dents like these that have brought our
courts into disrepute and made them
try-words for chicanery and untrust,
rather than the resorts of justice, for
which they were intended.
PERSON A NON GRATA.
Mr. J. G. Day, brevetted "Colonel"
by the Oresronian, has accused the
Dalles papers of beiDg too impatient.
It in possible that a people who, through
years of waiting have shown an unpar
alleled forbearance, should, when exas
perated beyond measure, give way to a
feeling of impatience which may dis
please Mr. Day and the hordo of govern
meat engineers whose stock just at pres
ent is below par.
Mr. Day states that the contract will
. be entirely completed in the coarse of
several weeks. It may and may not be,
The people have absolutely no faith in
Mr. Day or his promises, and fail to see
any reason why the work should v be
done'several weeks from now any more
than at the present.
Mr. Day has proved that his promises
are brittle as glass, made only to be
broken, and be need not . ponder long
why it is his statements are not given
credence by those people who have
watched his actions during the past two
years. The people have been patient
and the press, silent because it was de
sired that no obstacle be placed in the
way of the contractors; but we are free
to say that their methods during this
time have been open to condemnation.
The point is right here. The engi
neers state that the flood of 1894 demon
strated the need of walls between the
locks and riprap work upon the bank
touching the river. At that time Major
Post said an additional appropriation
would be 'necessary before the locks
could be called fully completed, but the
impression was fully and officially given
out that the locks could be operated
with the completion of the then existing
contract. ' This further work was a
means of precaution simply.
Now, like a bolt from a clear sky,
comes the statement that the locks can
not be operated, without this additional
appropriation, steps to secure which,
Mr. Day says, have been laken. If
eighteen months ago this necessity was
seen, and there has been no intervening
occurrence to lead to such a conclusion,
why was not the matter made clear to
the public so that a move could be made
to secure such action by congress? We
have been misled on all sides, and whilst
Mr. Day, midst the popping of cham
pagne corks, told of boats passing
through the locks by March 1st, the
people, like simple-minded folk, be
lieved him.
If the year 1896 passes without the
locks being operated, there will have
been perpetrated upon the people of the
Inland Empire a monstrous wrong, an
injustice which will cause the blood of
every honest man to boil with indigna
tion. Mr. Day is right ; the people are im
patient, and refuse to be comforted by
his soothing words fs they have been in
the past. .
REGARDING THE LOCKS.
Pendleton East Oregonian : March
the first is here, and no boat has passed,
or is going to pass in the near future,
the locks at the .Cascades, as has been
repeatedly promised by the government
contractors. JLtae government teat con
tinues to give down too rich milk to
those on the inside, hence the people are
to be trifled with for some time to come,
while the "milking" goes on and more
government money is squandered by
political knaves and their friends, as
sisted by the army officers in charge of
the works and toe contractors.
Fossil Journal : It ia with deep regret
we learn that the date of the opening of
the Cascade locks of the Columbia river
is a matter of doubt and uncertainty,
and that there is no probability of the
river being open for traffic by the first
of March, as was promised. To be sure
a boat may be passed through, but if so
it will be a grand farc6. It is very dis
heartening to have the cup dashed from
our li pa just when we were ready to
quaff the delicious contents. Who is it
that has lied, anyway?
The exposure to all sorts and condi
tions of weather that a lumberman is
called upon to endure in 'the camps
often produces severe colds, which, if
not promptly checked, result in conges
tion or pneumonia. Mr. J. O. Daven
port, ex manager of the Fort Bragg Red
wood Co., an immense institution at
Fort Bragg, Cal., says they sell large
quantities of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy at the company's store and that he
has himself used this remedy for a severe
cold and obtained immediate relief.
This medicine prevents any tendency of
a cold toward pnenmonia and insures a
prompt recovery. For sale by Blakeley
