MA LPR ACT1CE-
We have been Informed that doctor
Stryker finds fault with this newapa-
per In the matter of its report of the
testimony taken in his trial for man
laughter. It la true we did not pub
lish all the evidence In the case ; but
It Is also as true we gave to the public
all that was turnUhed by our special
reporter before that gentleman was
called before the Court as a witness,
No one could have done more in sim
ple, impartial justice without that one
had attained the skill and education
of Esculapfas In surgery and furthered
the ends of right by sitting as chief
prosecutor in a case where there was
malpactice shown, and in which all
that was necessary to insure convic
tion in the premises not only honest
will, earnest thought and correct
knowledge of human' nature bought
by careful study of law but know!
edge of surgery complete to detect I
fault and convict a quack.
But It matter not if doctor Stryker
does gru mble u nder the ci rcu instance?.
Though in a measure condensed, the
testimony reported was as uttered by
the witnesses for the prosecution.
What is worse for --doctor Stryker, if
we take the statements of jurors who
tried his case as evidence men who
declared the doctor guilty of the crime
of man-slaughter the members of the
jury did not acquit him of the crime
charged because in their opinion they
did not believe him guiltless, but be
cause the law and a fault in testimo
ny which might have been corrected,
prevented them from declaring they
believed doctor Stryker was the cause
of the death of poor Mary E. Hart,
and her death resulted from gross ig'
norance-of her condition on the part
or her medical att endant.
We will admit that we have a preju
dice against quacks, and medical
h H f a in nnrfiinlop Plm Arm n.An
ti.Jfe.the matter of prejudice on our
n&rt? for 'hat it is worth. It remains
ji,jbesame that Stryker bid for th
trratn?yjC0-f trte case by representing
to Hart. witiiSrrrSSiC'tatton on the
latter's part, that he "waTfillg K001
aad would cure Hart's wife. There
was no evidence offered in Court by
the defense to prove that Stryker was
a graduated physician learned in the
practice of luediuiue. The defendant
did not attempt to prove that by long
etuly and cloe attention upon ruedi-
. cal lectures he had acquired the right
to prescribe in a case of life and death.
Though acquitted the fact remains he
bid for the practice he secured when
clearly he was not competent to per
form it, and risked killing the woman
(whether intentionally or not matters
but little) for the sum he charged for
attending upon her. At least this is
the logical conclusion.
-, To admit this conclusion is to ad
mit of ft grevious fault in our laws
relating to the practice of medicine.
And weTopeat the truths established
during the trial to show how little our
people are protected from quacks not
in enmity toward any living man.
The evidence and failure of conviction
in. . this case shows that there is no
protection ; and we regret we have
not Judge Watson's charge to the
jury to use here in proof, that our,
laws, like those in Massachusetts,
provide that it must be shown that it
U the intention of the doctor to kill, oi that
ce allows the patient to die through
gross negligence, before be can be con
victed of malpractice In the degree of
manslaughter. Ignorance in the case
amounts to nothlug. It is offset by ft
display of seal on the part of the re
puted doctor in attendance on behalf
of the- patient. No diploma as a
graduate, or proof of education as a
doctor Is required. If the fact is es
tablished that Dr. Ktll-all-and-Cure-
None is recognized by the community
in which he lives as a practicing phy
; siciau he may go on forever, doctor
the well and make the well sick and
' kill them after they become sick, and if
he performs the last act in the tragedy
with a sound or ft catheter or ft chtAeter
, spliced with a ramrod, it matters not
: in the sight of the law if he remains
by the patient, expresses concern for
;' her welfare and regularly provides
' physic for her. -.:.
If the law does not protect us, then
- the question is naturally asked, where
i ia the remedy. In the same Massa-
chusetts decision mentioned we find a
8UggesUW'fr ft remedy, which we
i here quote. At the conclusion of the
decision the opinion reads re Mass.
Kep., p. HI S
"Iiisto be exceedingly lamented that
penple are so easily persuaded to put enn
fidence in these itinerant quacks, and to
'' trust their lives to etrdngors without
knowelerigs or experience. If this ton-
Ishing infatuation should continue, end
men are found to yield to the impudent re.
i tensions of ignorant . empiricism, thorn
i aroma to b no adequate remedy by a
criminal prowtcntioa, ttithout Vie interference
of the LrffUltiture, if the quaes, however
' wxak and presumptuous, should prescribe
with honest intentions and expectations of
relieving his patients." -'
It is true, as In the Stryker case, the
defendant was declared guiltless ; but
it is also true In the Thompson case,
there was an apology for the decision
as printed above, and at Is made in
SATURDAY..
the Stryker case by the jurors who
acquitted the defendant. And the
remedy suggested is the only one.
California has found this out already
and adopted the suggestion above
quoted to protect its; people from
death-dealing quacks, jn that State ft
physician Is not allowed to practice
unless he first successfully undergoes
an examination before a State Board
of Inspectors. Even j ft ' diploma
amounts to nothing unless the appli
cant for a license to practice first
shows he is a doctor of medicine in
the true sense of the word. As Cali
fornia has done so Oregon should do.
The legislature of the State should see
to It that there Is a law upon the
pages of the Statute making it a penal
offense for a quack to attempt to prac
tice medicine, and a law that would
demand of a man claiming to be a
physician to show that he bad other
and better reasons than is required of
a man now calling himself a physi
cian and has to furnish bat little
more evidence of his j skill when
charged with malpractice than that
the killing was done "without malice
either express or implied.'' Of course
such a law would be rough on the
quacks. It would have the effect of
driving them from the field, would ad
vance the Interests of all learned phy
sicians, and would guarantee in cases
of illness the attendance of practition
ers who by careful, honest study and
practice of medicine bad a right to
the name of Doctor. This is what is
wanted. It is a necessity that amounts
to the dignity of life protection. What
is there in it in favor of a quack if he
has to turn his attention to other pur
suits in order to gain a livelihood and
by this change a life is saved and mur
der prevented ? Clearly lit is the duty
of the Legislature to look after the
matter, protect the people by the
framing of just a law in the premises,
and to prevent murders; being com
raitted. . i
THE TWO REPUBLICANS.
It is evidently getting worse an
worse for Governor Thayer. He has
been charged with all manner of
crimes until the catalogue was mp
posed to be exhausted But here comes
the Portland Bee with a. new charge.
It charges first that a number of Dem
ocrats would turn State's evidence
against Graver's administration of
State affairs were their own hands
clean, and then permits Us to believe
that Thayer and Judge Harding are
both Republicans. In speaking of the
members of Graver's administration
it says' i .; ": j
I "Was the testimony against thetn of any
other character it mizbt be suborned or
silenced, but the records are in the hands
of the Republicans and their evidence can
not be challenged, bullied, bought or der
stioyed. Being silent it yet Speaks. Hence
the bitterness displayed against the Gova
ernor who prompts, snd the Judge who is
willing to let the light of indicia! invests
cation in upon the long column of figures
thst balance to the wrong side of the Stats
ledger. j I
Surely the Bee must speak in the
matter with authority, but after all it
would not surprise us if Thayer were
found to be anything else than what
he claims for himself. Iti the trial of
Watkinds it is not altogether improb
able that William W. wil prove more
than a match for bis persecutors, and
before he gets through with them will
point for them the way that leads to
the grave into which they would hur
riedly consign him. We have heard
of the beginning of the prosecution on
the part of the State ; and even though
Thayer may change in political com
plexion as often as does the chamel
eon, we believe in the end he will find
his Richmond in Watkinds. William
has been often abused and villi fled.
He has been brought j before the
Courts. Each, time he has defeated
his enemies. His history may repeat
itself. ? If be does defend himself sue
ceasfolly, he is such a rank Democrat,
one-half of his source for self-eongrat

The grand jury of Marion county
refused to entertain the proposition of
Judge Harding to indict prosecuting
attorney Whitney. . The points raised
by the grand jury in Whitney's de
fense were : 1st. There was nothing
In the Act of the Legislature to com
pel Mr. Whitney to act in the suit ;
2d. There was no opportunity offered
the prosecuting attorney to learn
wherein asuit was Justifiable ; 3d. The
competency of the attorney was re
cognized by the Judge in i bis action
in the Watkinds case. There was
no Intention, besides, shown by the
prosecuting attorney to ; shirk his
duty by virtue of his office, as laid down
by law ; and the fact exists that Judge
Harding has been reversed In his de
cisions so often that the oldest Inhab
itant does not wish to have the sum
total given him in order to fix in fig
ures that sum total. In this prosecut
ing business there seems to be a screw
loose somewhere. It appears to . the
eyes of the uninitiated that there is a
ring, and that a ring has ' planned a
case where there is no testimony to
support it ; in other words, there is a
ting that has attempted to convict
somebody, has made a failure in the
attempt and now wants to shift the
responsibility of failure on the shoul
ders of somebody else I
The story started by the Plaindealer
to the effect that Gen. Lane was snub
bed In the Grant reception, we are au
thorlzed by the General to announce
was plainly Imaginary on the part of
the editor of that journai. i General
Lane chose to go with the Mexican
veterans because be believed, (and
rightly, too) that he belonged with
them. Of Gen. Grant's treatment,
Gen. Lane has nothing to complain,
as is evinced by the statement made
by Gen. Lane since bis return from
Portland, to the effect that he would
prefer seeing Grant President than
any other Republican with whom he
is acquainted.
r The Star states that it will soon pur
chase a power-press. The "boys" tell
us it nas one now, jocaiea in the- rear
of its office, and with its new assist
ance it will come up again if ever it
goes down. We believe that paper
when it says the purpose of Jts editor
is always to follow after Jefferson, and
like the watchful sentinel upon tbe
tower, ever go up aad down on his
Democratic beat
It was not until 1530 that wheat
found its way into Mexico, and then
only by chance. A slave of Corf.
found a few grains of wheat in a par
cel or rice and showed them to his
master, who ordered them to be
planted. The result showed that wheat
would thrive well on Mexican soil,
and to-day one of the finest wheat
valleys ia toe world is near tbe Mexi

"THEM ORO FINO FELLERS.".
The Portland dailies inform us of the
election once more of J. H. Lappeus
chief of police. If our memory serves
us as it should, Lappeus is " one of
them OroFino Fellers," belonging to
a little baud of wire-workers that
years ago congregated In the Oro Fino
saloon on Stark street, in Portland,
and there laid the wires, which re
sponsive to the touch of the leaders,
set the whole machinery of Democrat
ic management in motion. In that
little band there was Neemith, Hen.
Owens, Vic Trevitt, AL Zleber, John
Green and others, not excepting Lap
peus. Nesniith stood as chief ; poor
Jim Fay, tke brightest of political
chieftains, was " right bower" in the
"deal," and Vlo Trevitt was al
ways ready to "take a trck." And
who could forget John Green or AI.
Zleber. Their measures about the
umbilical cord were enough to attract
attention outside of the large string
required to measure their heads, and
the devilment they concocted can only
be compared to the great humor
found always in Nesmith's stories.
But with all that the band acheived in
fun, that crowd did mo re in politics.
The band was the director of political
movements in politics the Alpha and
Omega with Democratic politicians of
the minnow variety. Nesmlth never
took snuff without some fellow, away
off in a distant county hungry for po
litical advancement sneezed. Vic
Trevitt was the oracle, and all de
clared AI. Zieber to be Mahomet and
Lappeus his chief captain. And with
all this it was tutpicioned that " them
Oro Fiuo fellers" were once in a while
not content with running the
Democratic party, but took a "full
hand in directing tbe Republican
organization. This may have been
only the matter of strong scent on the
part of the pointers used by those
classed outside of the "fellers;" but
there was such suspicion at the time
existing; and once it grew so strong
as to lead many to believe that the
Portland Herald was one of the best
independent newspapers lu the State.
Time did not furnish reason for a
change of opinion with this regard.
Time only went on to prove that
"them Oro Fino fellers' were sulphur
and saltpeter fellows, and in the end
It was said of them they ruled the
State. Rumor must have been correct
for a time. Lappeus got office. Nes
mith went to Congress. Vic Trevitt and
Hen Owens secured swamp land. AL
Zieber worked his point, and John
Green continued his water works.
Etc, Then the cry against " them
Oro Fino fellers" became so strong
that other fellows whispered softly
into the sunburnt ears of the fellow
citizens. Lappeus went out, and
"them Oro Fino fellers" were known
in the places they knew before no
more. The outsiders continued iu the
r.rde of theirglorysnd the enthusiasm
of their success, until they presumed
to abridge John Green's rights and
privileges to the Portland Water
Works by a special act in the last leg
islature.
Them Oro Fino fellers" must have
tauen warning rrom John's narrow
escape; and tbe cry must have been
"Charge, Victor, charge! On, Zie
ber, on! The time has come for ac
tion! let us win this day in the here
after, or let us not sing out, save us
Owens, or we Bink forever!" Lap
peus was out first, lie is again fore
most. There is nothing in the line
found in tbe good book : ' He who
was first shall be last.": Lappeus
leads the wv to future conquests,
and "them (old) Oro Fino feliers" "die
but never suirender!"
NEW .YORK'S ELECTION.
Next Tuesday the New York elec
tion will take place. The result will
be anxiously looked for by both par
ties each feeling that upon New
York will depeud the solution of the
questions : Will Tildtn be the Demo
cratic nominee for the presidency in
1&80, atjJ-win there bn a solid North
arrayed agaiilgt a. solid South in de
ciding who shall be frtSiJnt ? So
far the Republicans have lost noth
ing, but gained much. In Ohio tlwy
carried the State ticket by 20,000 ma
jority and elected a majority ou joint
ballot to the Legislature amounting to
37. Iowa has given a Republican ma
jority of over 80,000 over the Demo
cratic ticket, and 100,000 over tbe
Greenback ticket, or 25,000 over both.
In Iowa there is in the Legislature an
overwhelming Republican majority.
The point remains then that the Dem
ocrats must not permit the Republi
cans to carry New York by a majority
over both Robinson and Kelly, Til
den's and Tammany's candidates for
Governor. A plurality will leave the
question of the strength of the two
parties in the Empire State debatable;
but a majority for the Republican
candidate will go far to convince the
wavering that there will be, in the
next campaign, a solid North against
a solid South, and the preponderance
of votes in the electoral college being
in favor of the former, a Republican
will be elected President in 1SS0. This
is an impartial view of the situation
and the correct one ; and politicians
will take it and upon it base their
calculations for the next contest.
In the selection of a grand jury at
Salt Lake for the Third Distict Court
of Utah, particular care was taken
to exclude all Mormons. This shows
fulfillment of the promise made some
days ago that a vigorous prosecution
would be made against the institution
of polygamy. A number of the"saints"
In the examination of their qualifica
tions to serve on the panel, avowed
their belief in polygamy, as author
ized and sanctioned by the Bible. This
was enough. They were not wanted,
and stood aside. It will be a matter
of some Interest to know who will be
among the indicted, and then to see
who will be convicted, and what will
be the punishment of the convicted.
A farmer in Los Angeles county,
Cal., finding no sale for his potatoes,
etarted a starch factory, tbe machinery
for which was made by himself. He
commenced with five tons ofpotatoes,
and was so successful that he made
S300 trom the proceeds, and is now en
gaged in the manufacture of what ho
claims to be the purest and best ar
ticle before the public. He is aluo
about to engage in the manufacture
of corn starch.
The Mechanic's Fair now being
held in Portland, is reported by the
city papers as a first-class exposition.
It would not surprise us if the Portland
papers at some future time had full
reports from the State Fair in the way
of local news. By some means every
thing Portland undertakes results in
complete success, and we hear nothing
Deyond a failure from Salem year after
year.
A few months since there was a
sudden disappearance of one Firm In
Chambon, a resident of a small town
in France. There was no suspicion as
to the cause, but a favorite cat which
followed its master around made fre
quent visits to a neighboring house.
The occupants were watched and ar
rested, the pocketbook of the dead
man, whose body was subsequently
found, was in their possession.
A juryman in the Criminal Court of
the District of Colombia was ex
cused recently because he had been
convicted that morning of etealiuga
pair of shoes. He was advertised to
address the Pioneer Sunday School
Association of Washington on the
following Sunday on the question,

This is volume 4 of the Independ
ent, and yon needn't make a note of
it, because as a newspaper the Inde
pendent speaks for itself without "a
gentle reminder now and then." Per
haps were we surprised that the pa
per has ; lived four years, we would
tell somebody about it.
The Temperance Alliance of Louisi
ana asserts that In that State last year
spirits worth $42,000,000 were drunk,
or $2,000,000 worth more than the
combined value of the sugar, cotton
and rice crops of the State.
A man dying recently in St Louis
left $1,000 to an individual who, years
before ran away with his wife. He
said In his will that he never forgot a
favor.
A Louisville woman, wearing $4,000
worth of diamonds, was recently ar
