NOT ABOVE CRITIC IS 31.
The Dalles Times Mountaineer
. Bays: "The supreme court has decided
on appeal that Sandy Olds, convicted
of murder, should have a new trial,
and we see so rue of the papers of the
state crkicisingnthe decision. We do
not consider this by any means fair
journalism." The opinions of the su
preme court are not above examina
tion or beyond criticism. Every pub
lic utterance by a public officer is,
under our system, open to examina
tion and criticism by press and people.
But the Times-Mountaineer says:
"Every unfavorable criticism of the
judgment of the higher court implies
that Sandy Olds is guilty of murder
and should be hanged." With threat
pertinence it might be asked, who that
knows anything about the case doubts
that he is guilty and should be hanged?

money, can always be engaged on the
side of crime and against law, justice
and the interests of societyt Is it to
be supposed that the two members of
the supreme court who have ordered a
new trial know better whether Olds is
guilty of murder or not than the court
and jury that tried him, beard all the
testimony and found him guilty!
Reverence for law is continually
- invoked as a shelter for the sharp and
- immoral practice which constantly
attacks and often defeats both law
and justice; and this sharp and im
moral practice is constantly enlisting
- a solemn public stupidity on its side
- and filling its mouth with round
phrases in support of the pretense that
its methods of obstructing justice and
preventing the punishment of crime
are the safeguards of society. Men
- who can be faired and are hired every
day with the proceeds of crime to de
fend crime are voluble in their pro
testations that they "want justice,"
and declaim against public expressions
that would "create prejudice" against
crime and criminals. That is their
trade. They pursue it to make
money; and great part of their skill

on trial for a heinous offense. It is
not journalism it is not fairness, and
is not the plan that one citizen would
conduct himself toward another in any
of the business or social relations of
life. The newspaper is, as the name
implies, a gatherer of news; but its
- province is not to usurp the mission of
courts and juries. If it does Lot be
lieve that juries do exact justice, let it
advocate the abolition of this relic of
Anglo-Saxon barbarism. But while
the jury system is in vogue it has no
license to bend the jurors, by influenc
cing the public mind, to its own ideas.
Sandy Olds is to be tried again for
killing Weber, and every man sum
nioned as a juror should have his mind
a? clear as oossible from any feeling
for or against the prisoner. This can

The Tribune, Leasure's organ at
Pendleton, is very much disappointed
because its pet was not appointed U.
S. district attorney, and in a burst of
puerile malevolence attempts to read
Wasco county out of the realm of
Eastern Orr-giu aud the Inland Em
pire. The editor should make a new
map of Oregon, and obliterate the
Cascade mountains as the dividing
line between the two great division
of the state. The germ of what there
ih of this region has started from The
Dalles, and there was a time when
Wasco county comprehended all the
territory between the Cascades and
the Rocky mountains. Every interest
that The Dalles has b e i fighting fjr
several years past is for the benefit tf
the whole inland empire, and Eastern
Oregon in particular. The climate is
the same as all portions east of the
mountains, and it is sheer iuAecilit;
not worthy of notice for the Tribune
to denominate it a suburb of Portlanr.
This county excelled the others east of
the mountains at the last election by
giving 500 majority for Hermann, the
Republican candidate for congress,
and should have received recognition
from the administration. The appli
cant from The Dalles was recom
mended, because in doing so the Ore
gon delegation wished to signify its
gratificatioa of the reclamation of
Eastern Oregon to the party, aud
could not do so in a more effective
manner than by acceding to the wishes
of the p ople of the leading county.
Portugal has committed some flag
rant acts of inhumanity towards Brit
ish sut jpcU and insolence to the Brit
ish flag, and Mr Salisbury, the pre
mier, has callen the Portugese govern
ment to an Account for them. If
there is one thing of which every sub
ject of the great island empire should
feel proud, is the protection enjoyed in
every quarter ot the globe. Touch an
Englishman in an unlawful manner,
and immediately the old bulldog
spirit is aroused, and reparation has to
be made. The Abysinuian war was
inaugurated because Erglishmen were
depriyed of their rights, and the same
is true of other wars. What if Great
Britain gains possession of some little
countries in the end in the protection
she guarantees to her citizens, it will
be better for all concerned. Portugal
has held possessions in Africa and
Asia fur long year?; but in no
instance has she labored for the
advancement of the people, or av
tempted to develope the resources of
the country. In marked contrast
everv subiect of Great Britain can
point with pride to Hindoostan, Au
stralia, Cape Colony, New Zealand.
Hong Kong and British America,
With-Anglo-Saxon conquest civiliza
tion and Christianity are introduced,
and the people are educated and made
freer. Every British colony to-day is
a republic in reality, and as Americans
and republicans we can but welcome
the advance of the institutions in
every quarter of the world which un
derlie our fabric of government.
If Grady's flowery ihctoric about
the negro living contented and happy
in the south was truthful at the ban
quet in Boston, what is the use of
Senator Butler of South Carolina in
troducing his colonization scheme for
colored men! If the chivalric South
erners are satisfied with the colored
people in their midst, and believe in
the enforcement of th constitutional
amendments, they would not advocate
a plan to induce them to leave the
country by placing a premium on em
migration. Almost in every instance
these people are natives of the soil, and
have no other country than this.
To intimate that their presence is ob
noxious to the present inhabitants has
some of the elements of the British
act in driving the Acadians out of
Nova Scotia.
It is somewhat sorry news which
burdened the wires to day that
the Czar of Russia could not
attend - Christmas services yester
day by reason of the influenza;
but the world is just as well as if
he prayed long and loud. In the
eyes of an all-wise and all-just God,
his prayers would not have ascended
as high as the steeple of his cathedral,
while the prayers of his unfortunate
victims in Siberia would have reached
the highest heaven. If there is any
thing in Christ's doctrine these mon
arch's prayers are the worst hypocrisy.
They should stop praying and going
through the ceremonies of their church
creed, and do more for the ameliora
tion of their subjects, and their lives
here will be nobler and their future
more hapeful.
John G. Whittle r, the Quaker pcet,
celebrated his eighty-third birthday
last Tuesday. The American reading
public, and English-speaking peoples
in other countries, have djawn many
moral lessons from the metrical verse
of Mr. Whittier, and though some
may have excelled him in literary
fame, none Lave ever written words
and sentences which have entered the
innermost depths of the soul with such
a mild and healing sympathy as he.
II is life has been as gentle and loving
as his poems, and now he ' is nearing
he brink of the grave, his sun of life
is setting in ,tne most glorious ra-

The present Democratic incumbents
in federal positions seem satisfied with
the recommendations telegraphed, and
are willing to deliver up thir port
folios at any time. The president has
pursued a most tnpartisan course
toward Oregon, and the eager office'
seek ere have been kept waiting a long
time; but the golden fruit is now fall
in. It is very improbable that there
will be a change of administration in
1892: but if such an .unlocked for
emergency should arise,lhe Republican
federal officials will not wait long to
know their fate.
The supreme court has decided on
appeal that Sandy Olds, convicted of
murder, should have a new trial, and

consider this by any means fair jour

Johnstown enjoyed a sunshiny
Christmas, and the people notwith
standing their misfortunes had a
pleasant time. Poor, unfortunate
town, they have not much to be
thankful for during the past year, and
t is to be expected that 1890 will be
more prosperous.
CHRISTMAS.
The anniversary of C' r'stmas will
occur to-morrow, and as such will be
celebrated all over the Christian
world. The day was set apart about
three hundred years after the event
occurred, and was undoubtedly in
correct as to the date and season of
the year "when shepherds watched
their flocks by night." But this
makes little or no difference, for the
birth of the personage whom it is in
tended to celc hrate was a world char
acter, and us such made his impres
sion upon present and future genera
tions. Born of the race of the illiberal
Jews he displayed the greatest ad
vancement of any man of his time,
and taught a doctrine which is suited
to all classes aud conditions of people.
The titled noble who kneels amidst
the treasured memories of St. Paul's in
London has no more veneration for the
grand and holy personage of Jesus
Christ than he, who, in the rude and
simple hut in the wilds of the wilder
ness or the boundless prairie, pays his
devotions to this great redeemer of
the world. The simple son of the car
penter of Nazareth, though lineal
descendant of the line of David, lived
ao'ong the lowly, ate with publicans
and sinners, and ministered to the
wants of the humblest of earth's un
favored creatures. His companions
were not kings or nobles, but the
outcast and erring; and to these he
imparted hope and consolation which
no other teacher ever did.
The New Testament teaches that
the disciples of this humble and de
vout individual after his cruel death
were first called Christians at Antioch,
and it is doubtful if he would have
sanctioned the nomenclature if he
lived. His life work w as for no sect
or class, but for the human race,
and it is perfectly relevant that
in honor of the anniversary
of his birth, Jew and Christian, Mo
hammedan, Buddhist and all others
who labor for the benefit of mankind
should celebrate this grand event in
the history of the world. Judaism
teaches forms and ceremonies, and
c'losen race; Buddhism an ascetic
hft ; Mohammedanism, belief in the
prophet and a close adherence to th
Koran; but Christ, pure motives and
an unspotted life. Of all philosophers
whose lives made bright and luminous
the records of the past, this simpl
Nazarene, who made -no pretensions
except purity of purpose,marked out
line of conduct for all men, which
roust be acknowledged the only true
doctrine of man's conduct towards his
fellows. It makes little difference
whether the dogmas of the trinity, as
set ft rth primarily by the Nicene coun
cil be correct or not, the character of
Jesus Christ is such that all must ad
mire it and all would do well to imi
late. Century may link itself to cen
tury until the world grows old with
the lapse of time, yet the teachings of
this great and good man will be as
pertinent and practical to human life
as when he taught his precept:
among the barren hills of Judea to
few ignorant fishermen and uncult
ured laborers. We have no doubt
that Paul, the great logician and era
dite scholar, embellished the teachings
of Christ with the dogmas that now
cling to the church; but the purity of
the life and the sinceriey of the great
teacher did more to spread the doc
trines and make them world-wide in
their application than all the ethics
taught by moral philosophers.'
To celebrate the day properly an
in a becoming manner, each one who
gathers in the social circle should at'
tempt to instill into his character that
purity of life and sincerity of conduct
which characterized him whose birth
is commemorated. Anthems from sur
pliced choirs, and sermons from the
gilded alters of cathedrals will not be
as Christ-like as the honest, upright
life of the poor aud lowly. He who
taught as never man taught, who wan
dered homeless and houseless among
the barren wa tea of Palestine, never
wore any royal raiment or associated
with the privileged classes of the world
His life was one of self sacrifice, and his
grand, good and holy acts weredevouted
to healing the sick and alleviating the
burdens of the oppressed. Christ be
longs to the world, and the world
gcod and purity belong to Christ.

TUB RACE QUESTION.
For long years the African race has
bad full freedom in the United States,
at.d has beeu granted the elective
franchise. There is no doubt that the
Anglo-Saxons are the rulers of this
country. in laws and literature, and
we are forced to acccrd to the people
who for long years tufferej the chains
of slavery a lower grade in the scale
of humanity. It must be recollected
that the African, in no single instance,
ever liberated himself, the slaves
held by the British empire were
emancipated through the philanthropic
acts of the great Englishman, Wjlber
force. Hayti became an independent
nation through the efforts of Touis-
sant, a mulatto, who was educated in
France, and served under Napoleon,
The Arabs in Africa have for a long
time bought and sold slaves, and the
only interference in their diabolical
traffic has been the action of Great
Britain which, in the magnanimous
m pulses that characterizes that em
pire, has empowered her navy to use
every means to put a sup to the
trade. As a necessity of war, our
lamented Lincoln, issued his emanci
pation proclamation, and several
millions of free negroes were thrown
upon the country. - Congress, after
this emancipation, granted the col
ored race the elective franchise and
established free schools throughout the
south; but there has been a constant
warfare between these liberated slaves
and the predominant white race.
Trouble has frequently occurred be
tween the antagonistic races, and a
peaceful solution of the slave ques
tion has beeu most difficult. But we '
are glad to see the leading papers of
the south discussing this question in a
fair and unprejudiced manner, and
cpy willingly the following from the
Memphis Appeal, a leading paper of
that region:
It is believed in Washington that a
great dtbate will be had in the United
States senate this winter upon the
negro question, and that the ablest
minds of that body will participate.
The country needs just such a discus
sion. The lime for it has come.
While we cannot expect any definite
action looking toward the sol u '-ion of
the problem, the debate would have
an educational effect, and would cer
tainly have the character of an his
torical event The southern senators
have many hard facts to submit to
their northern friends, and we believe
that the latter are in a better mood to
cot. aider them than at any time since
the war. With the Republican
policy fixed as to the tariff, it is hardly
possible that a question more import
ant than that of the negro's welfare
will come before this senate. Already
the southern senators have shown an
eager disposition to discuss it in a
spirit of fairness aud earnestness, and
the Republicans should be glad to
meet them half way. If the debate
shall occur, they may expect to find
the whole country eagerly attentive;
and out t f it, we are sure, will come
much good to the people.
The dispatches to-day connain most
deplorable news of a war of races in
Georgia, iu which white men and ne
groes have been killed. This antagc
nism cannot continue always and har
mony prevail among the citizens, and
we hope the present session of con
gress will attempt to do something to
remedy the evil. The colored men
are with us; tbey have the elective
franchise, and should be protected in
its exercise. If they desire to emi
grate, every aid should be given them,
but we cannot force them to do so, for
they fought in our armies, and earned
their rights by well-merited actions.

cress liberal appropriations ior tne

benefit can be derived from improving

sible way to view the matter is, that
we need the great river cleared of all

urgent necessity of a deeper channel.
All these objects should meet with
unanimous approval, and all portions
of this state and Washington should
be a solid phalsux in favor of them.
It is a matter of great gratification
to the northwest that Hon. Binder

Hermann, and we feel satisfied that as
chairman of this important committee
we shall have something done for this
portion of the northwest He has
been an defatigable worker for the in
terests of his constituency, and we
feel assured he will exert his utmost
endeavor for liberal appropriations for
the locks at the Cascades and boat
railway above this city.

Nineteen miners were at work in tbe 400

rested a drunken negro and carried him
to toe locaup. Winer negroes i iicumcu
and a tight followed, resulting' in the
death ot Marshal Longelt aod Mr. Wood,
cf South CaroliDa,-and tbe fatal v'ouod
ing of Mr. Wood, of Jessup. About ti fteen
whites and blanks are known to bare' re
ceived injuries more or less serio us.
Neighboring towns have sent deputatio ns
of armed men, and the streets are throng ?d
with members ot both races. Further
hostilities are not looked for to night, but
it is thought fighting will surely be re
sumed in the morning. The negroes have
been chased to the swamps, and tbeir
capture is certain. Tbe governor has
been telegraphed to for troops, aod it is
thought mere will be a conflict on their
arrival. Quite a number of women and
children have left the i.lace.

GORE ON THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
Chicago, Dtc. 25 A dispatch from
Shawneetown, 111., says: A free fight
took place at a Christmas tree celebration
in Eagle Creek precinct Monday night, in
which Thomas Burroughs, a prominent
farmer, was dangerously stabbed, and
several other persons received quite
serious injuries.
Tbe fight arose from an error in dis
tributing the presents, which were labeled
for people who did not receive them.
Some of the labels dropped from the
presents and were placed on different
articles on the tree. People who had
labeled their presents for friends saw the
rristakes and remonstrated, but to no
avail. A quarrel arose and a fight ensued.

drowned at Valltjo yesterday, is said to
havo well-to-do parents in the state of

has been shining brightly all day, and
the air is as balmy as May. Christmas
services were held in al! the churches, and
Sunday tchool children received gifts
from their teachers as in former years.
It is surprising bow little reference wa9

CHASED TO THE SWAMP.
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 20. The trouble
at Jessup yesterday began at 10 A. M
when Chief Marshal Leggatt and an as
sisiant attempted to arrest Bob Brewer,
notorious negro outlsw and fueitive,
Brewer raised his cun and deliberately

Brewer, but missed him. Brewer
turned the fire and shot Lcggatt throu'
both legs.
Brewer and his crowd of ten or twelve
men then fled to the swamp. The negroes
were luuuweu into ine swamp by several
citizen?, among them being William
Wood, a carpenter, and his son, William
n oou.

and when young Wood ran in behind hiin
Brewer rose up and shot him tt rough the

Wood s father in the lace. AcconiolUh

to tne swamp and escaped.
News of the death of young Wood and
tne serious snooting or his father spreai
like wildnre over the town. Confusion
reigned for a time, aud Jessup seemed to
ue in tne nauas 01 a violent mob. Mayi-i
Hobbs called a meeting and hastv ar
rangements were made to protect tbe
towp.
Seventy five armed men were gathered
in a few minutes and followed Erewer

McMillan bay covers over 400 acres and
Brewer is so familiar with its hidin
places that efforts to locate him are re
garded as in vain. The strength ot tbe
posse was soon increased by a posse of
twenty nve armed ineD, and a picket line
onneuj.
Brewer had threatened the life of As
sistant Marshal Barnhill since that officer
killed one of Brewer's pals, a few weeks
ago, while attempting to arrest a colored
man ior ga moung. Yesterday was
Brewer's chance, and he took advantage
of the opportunity. When the assistant
officer came unarmed to the side of Chief
Marshal L?ggatt, who was making the
arrest. Brewer seemed to forget for
moment that anybody was truug to cap
ture him, and he shot Barnhill down as
he would a dog.

The military was stationed about half
a mile lrom tho nil. but bv the time a

Ilclci Letter.
(-Ua.i was settled in 18C3. It did
tui. hve a ju.iicul hanging un.il 1874.
P'-i .Tuu-; Lynch opened a court on
A":er ijuich within filtcen months after
firt settlement. At the first term ot
thTi popular tribunal there wen- twenty
seven hangings in fifty days. Vigilantes
Inflicted the death penalty whenever it
v as ufl;-med necessary for more than ten
years.
The first execution according to legal
proceps occurred at Helena in 1874. It
was such au innovation that the people
celebrated it iu a remarkable manner.
I !:c -'ay following this execution a pro
ctssion was formed and the committee
led the way over the hill to the spot
which had usually been chosen lor lynch
ing. Writh appropriate ceremonies, the
trie that had done duty ior a gallows so
many years was chopped down, cut up
for relics and carried away.
The place where the tree stood has be
come known as "HaDguiau'a Gulch."
The name Helena has been tryiDg to get
rid of every tiDce, but without marked
success. The idea at the time of the de
struction of the tree was that lvnching
dajs were past. It was impossible, how
ever, to change the character of the peo
ple so easily and so suddenly.
Legal executions have gradually taken
the place of mass meeting executions, but
there have been some brief periods when
it was deemed best to return to the more
expeditious and popular methods of
primitive days in the teiritory.
The year 1884 is known as one of the
"hanging years" of Montana. It wai the
time when stock thieving had become
unendurable upon the raiiges of Eastern
Montana. Vigilantes organized for that
raid without any concealment. Members
of tbe band which carried out the orrlers
were recruited openly from the cowboys,
who were willing t- do that kind of work
for $100 a month. When tho round up
ended sixty-threo theives had been shot
cr haDged.
Tbe man who engineered this exter
mination of the stock thieves is one of
the best kuown ai.d most respected citi
zen of Montana. He makes his home in
Helena. Public sentiment regrets the
necessity for such extreme measure?, but
fully sustains the penalty inflicted.
The first sebsion of tbe people's court
at Helena was held to try Bob Black for
killing Harry Slater. Helena was then a
mining camp and was known as Last
Chance Gulch. Parallel with, and only a
few feet from what is now the principal
street of the tbiilty city the gulch rau.
The prospectors who found pay dirt iu
the gulch were certain there could be
none found further east of flint and so
they named it La.t Chance. The miners
settied down to work the gulch for what
theie was in it, na i t!.e camp drew more
t...u i"i iirual complement ot gamblers
i i ... r roats.
; i inary work of tbe vigilantes
-. -uich, further south, had the tf-
I'fcci ..r swelling the lawless element at
Last Chance with refugees. One of these
refugees was Slater, lie had escaped the
vigilantes at Virginia Cuy by an acci
dent. The night the order was issued
there for bis execution it was discovered
tbat he had taken his departure. Slater
tried to shoot William F. Sanders, the
prosecutor of tho Piummer gang of road
agents, only a short time previously. The
vigilantes h d a long score against him
and there was some disappointment when
it was found that he had disappeared.
Tom Keene, or Bob Black, as he had
been known in Tenoessee, also left Vir
ginia City in baste. He had been keep
ing bar at the Montana saloon to J ha 1 a
quarrel with another barkeeper. After
trying to mangle his enemy by burling a
boulder through tbe window at midnight,
Keene fled and went to Helena or Last
Chance. Arriving at the gulch and walk
ing up the street Keene came suddenly
upon Slater, sitting in a doorway, with
his hat over his eyes. Without saying a
word, or in any way attracting his vic
tim's attention, Keene drew his pistol and
fired. The bail entered the eye and
passed through the brain. Slater fell
backward dead, without knowing who
shot him.
And tight here is to be noted a curious
illustration of the impartiality with which
tbe people's court dispensed justice. It
made do difference tbat Keene bad re
moved a bad man, nnder condemnation
by the vigilantes of a neighboring camp
Had bluter been hanged at Virginia Cit
Last Chance, to a man, wonld have en
dorsed the wisdom and justice of the act
But, blater having escaped to La:
Chance, it was as much murder tor Keene
to kill him as if tbe victim had been tbe
most honest mun in camp.
This was tbe way in which Last Chance
viewed tbe crime. It was no sympathy
ior mater wiucu prompted tbe immedi
ate organization of tbe people's court ot
.Last usance to try Keene.
