BAD PRACTICES.
The practice of carrying concealed
weapons received another criticism
yesterday. "We have stated dozens
of times in the course of a few years
newspaper work that the convenient
pistol has gotten a hundred men into
trouble, where it got one out. That
was the case j'esterday, and the prac
tice of carrying a pistol yesterday re
sulted in lodging one man in jail and
putting another's life in jeopardy.
With the merits of the shooting this
article has nothing to do. Opinions
may and will vary on that subject,
but if the pistol had not been handy,
the results would not have been seri
ous. And yet we must confess that
there is some excuse for carrying
concealed weapons, even though it
be against the law, and that excuse
is in the law itself. Assault and bat
tery cases are dealt with too lenient
ly. One man, because he has the
strength, beats another, and that
other, appealing to the law, finds that
the cLances are even of his assailant
being acquitted, and he discovers,
also, that the jury of his assailant's
peers measures that opponent's at
tack as an assault only. The wound
ed feelings, soiled clothes and bat
tered face have not weight enough to
be classed as a battery, and the judge,
in accordance with the verdict, meas
ures the damages at a nominal sum,
-say $5 to $20. Neither the judge
nor the jury own the black eye and
swollen nose, consequently it does
not appear serious to them, but it is
an lncontrovertiblefact that when a
man gets a swollen nose or a black
eye he fancies be has the biggest and
blackest specimens ever produced.
He thinks he has at least a hundred
dollars' worth, and he has. Then,
instead of him getting any part of
the fine, the state thinks revenge
salve enough for him, and devotes
the money to its own purposes. This
causes a good citizen to feel that the
law does not protect him, and be,
going back to a state of nature, de
termines to protect himself.
The Dalles has had entirely too
much of this kind of thing, and it is
to be hoped that the affair of yester
day will serve as a warning to those
who go seeking quarrels, and also
serve to point out to those who have
the enforcement of the laws, both
judges and jurors, the necessity of
swift, sure and severe punishment of
those who indulge in the luxury of
thumping someone else. There are
- whole lots of American people who
do not enjoy being thrashed, and
who will defend themselves when
the law fails to protect them. Until
the laws concerning assault and bat
tery are enforced, people who are
not athletes are going to go prepared
to save themselves a beating, even if
someone else has to ornament a fun
eral procession.
The most emphatic assertion of
returning prosperity is contained in
a dispatch from Chester, Pa., which
says: "The employes of George C.
Hazel & Co., manufacturers of worst
ed goods, have been notified that the
wages paid in 1892 will be restored
September 6th. There is no gain
saying that kind of a statement.
W. J. Jones, U. S. commissioner
to Alaska, assigned to St. Michaels
in a letter dated at Dyea August 4th,
and addressed to the interior depart
ment, says that the miners are throw
ing away their packs and rushing
The future looks very bright for
the Cuban patriots. Weyler is
whipped into Havana, and hardly
dare show himself out of it. The
districts he reports as being subdued
are subdued by the Cubans, not by
Weyler. Spain has neither men to
send nor money to spend, and the
end is in sight. Before six months
elapse Cuba will have a government
of her own, and the Cuban flag will
have a place among the nations of
the world.
And novr comes the report from
French sources that in the duel be
tween Prince Henry and Count Turin
the latter had an armor under his
clothing. In this connection it is
suggestive, at least, that Prince
Henry's sword was bent, and during
the fight was replaced by another.
Judge Hanford has decided that
the Northern Pacific Railroad Co. is
entitled to about 200,000 acres of
land in Clarke and Cowlitz counties,
on account of the building of the
line from Tacoma to Portland.

Remarkable Core of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 167th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. It has given me
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a triend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I bought and took a 50
cent bottle; and now I can say that I
am entirely cured. I cannot be thankful
enough to you for this great Eemedy,
and recommend it to all Buffering veter
ans. If in doubt write to me. Yours
gratefully, Henry Steinberger, Allen
