Pobtiaud, May 30. I To the Editor.'
It seems strange that the petty spite and
malevolence of one man, a man who is not
respected and bas little influence at home
can spread so widely throughout tbe state
false and mean charges against the char
acter and abilities of a candidate for public
office. Judge L. R. Webster is sure to b
elected attorney-general on June 6, but nc
doubt many who have read tbe paragraph:
about him that have been published in vari
ous democratic papers during this cam
paign will not understand, nor care to in
quire, for the facts, and will assume thai
there is some ground for the insinuations
against bim. .
Judge Webster is so well known in his
own judicial district tbat he needs no vin
dication there. ' He has twice been elected
to the circuit court as a republican, in a
district where republicans are sadly in tn
minority. He was not chosen because he
was a republican, but because at home.
wbere bis neighbors know bim person
ally, he was believed by the people, irre
spective of party, to have those qualities
essential to a good judge honesty, fair
ness, common sense and skill in the law.
He was born . m Mew York city 38
years ago, and both of his parents died, I
believe, before be was 3 years of age. As
a little orphan boy, he made his own way
in the world. He educated himself, taught
school, mnrried, became a lawyer and a
judge.
During all these years be bas been loved
and respected, until one Kaiser, an editor
of a weekly paper published at Ashland,
sometime ago published an article in his
newspaper, abusing the grand jury of the
county, charging officials with corruption
and ridiculing the administration of crim
inal prosecutions and lampooning tbe
court in language rather general, but not
less harmful lor not making specinc
charges against any body or of anything.
Judge Webster, conceiving tbat the useful
ness of tbe judicial system must bave its
foundation in the respect of the people for
tbe courts, and that his public duty re
quired that such charges should not be
Eassed unnoticed, cited Kaiser to appear
efore the court and show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt of
court.. Kaiser admitted the publication
and was fined $50 and sentenced to the
county jail for 15 days, but be was
allowed a stay of execution by
Juoge Webster, so that be could take the
matter to tne supreme court. Un tne ap
peal the decision was reversed upon two
grounds nrst, tbat there was a technical
defect in the method of procedure; and
second, that although tbe article published
by tbe defendant would bave been ground
for punishment as a contempt at common
law, a proper construction of tne Uregon
statute would require that there be some
allusion therein to a case pending in court
to be punishable as such ; and that as una
article was in relation to tbe administra
tion of justice generally, and. not to some
specinc case, it was not within the statute.
The court, through the chief justice, "vin
dicated" Mr. Kaiser in the following lan
guage:
For what purpose or with what intent the
arjDellant Dublished the said matter, unless
it were to create an idle, silly sensation, is an
enigma. His doing; so probably resulted
irora a rreaK or spleen, jae certainly couia
not have expected to rain any advantage
from such a profusion of extravagancy, nor
have suDDOsed that a half-witted Dei-son.
even, would give any credence to his grotes
que account of the affairs of Jackson oounty
referred to in his production. Why any man
other than an addle-brained lunatic should
print such absurd, ridiculous stuff in a news'
paper iscitacultto imagine. The indulgence
in such shillyshally by managers of Dews
-papers indioate a mania on their part to
abuse, vllily, and insult o racial selected to
administer the affairs of eovernment. how
ever devoted and faithful to the public in
terests those officials may be. Such a course
only tends to incite anarchy, the most dan
gerous and dreaded enemy with which a re
publican government has to contend. It is
well known to this court and to the com
munity generally, that no such condition in
the Judicial matters of "Southern Orea-on" aa
the appellant endeavored to represent ex
ists, and that no such abuses as he depicted
prevail there, but, upon the contrary, that
Last evening, at Hood River, there was a
joint debate between Mr. B. S. Huntington
ana air. ataoiey stowelL on tbe taritt. Mr.
Huntington is a Republican and a deter
mined aisoiple of protection, and Mr. S to
well is a Democrat and an uncompromising
toiiower ot lree-trade and John fcjtuart Mill.
It is said by some of those present that.
although Mr. Stowell displayed a careful
knowledge of the subject, it was evident
from the first that he was making a vain
attempt to prop np a falling structure, and
when Mr. Huntington read tne speech of
Air. suisbory, in which be said that tbe
British nation was carrying free-trade too
iar, it was evident to ail tair-minded men
tbat the friends of that economio policy
considered themselves on board a sinking
ship and was determined to scuttle tbe
craft and escape with their lives and what
goods tbey could save from the wreck-. It
is safe to say that Republicans will vote the
ticket at Hood Kiver, and tbe returns will
give an increased majority.
' Mining Matters,

Thomas L, Bropby, the mining expert.
has returned from a trip through Umatilla,
Morrow, Gilliam, Wasco and Crook conn-
ties, and is more than ever enthnsiastio
oyer the mineral wealth of this section.
In the rrineville country be found every

sources of that country. Reports are that
it is the intention of the company, on
reaching Pripeville, to construct a line con

The principal object of Mr. Brophy's trip
was to investigate a cinnabar discovery near
Prineville. He found it a fine prospect and
bonded it for Eastern capitalists for whom
he is agent. He spoke of promising gypsum
aqd plumbago mines in thatjeountry, and
says that in pfeoioos stones, also, such
amethysts and opals, it is unsurpassed. Gold
and silver ores in tbe Ochoco district are -ot
the best quality. An old Baker City man,
Prof. Torey, is over there, np to his ears in

development.

fine lime quarry, which he has transferred
to Columbus Friend, brother-in-law of Joe
Merchant of Wallula, and also a sulphur

A Pleasant Surprise.
The Dalles, Jane 1, 1892.
Editor Trjas-HoinrMnnua:
The ladies of the W. C. T. U. went in
body to tbs residence of Mrs, J. D. Lee
this afternoon, and gave that estimable lady
a complete and very pleasant surprise. Mrs.
Lee is another one of onr faithful ones who
is soon to leave us. Tbe ladies wished in
some way to show her their love and appre
ciation. After all were comfortably seated
Mrs. Smith Crenoh, the president, arose,
and in her usual pleasing manner presented
Mrs, Lee with a lovely autograph album.
each member of the union having donated
a leaf, and was responded to by Mrs. Lee in
a very touching manner. Ibose present
were Mesdames Smith French, Leslie But
ler, Drew, Saunders, Donald, Fisher, Dr.
Ingalls, J. E. Bsrnett, B. E. Barnett,R. M.
Pressler, A. B. Adams. An excellent
lunch was served, after which all repaired
to their homes, feeling tbis sentiment of the
poet in their hearts: ''Blest be the tie that
binds our hearts in phristian loye." D.
justice is as well and laitnrully administered
in that locality as in any other part of the
state. Yet the appellant, the editor of the
newspaper, whose desire should not only be
to have upright and competent officials in the
administration of the local affairs of his sec
tion, where he consistently can take pride in
having them so regarded by the community
and the world at large, makes use of his po?
sition to traduce and degrade them. In
stead of attending to his business of impart
ing useful information, instead of assisting
in building up the community and its insti
tutions, he acts the part of an iconoclast.
The course pursued by such persons is a
positive damage and injury to society. It is
a Door reauital for the faithful services of
the learned judge who presides in the first
judicial district, and whom the people
thereof selected to determine the law in
their matters of difference, to subject him to
a wholesale charge of dereliction of duty.
coming irom wnaiever source n may,
It may have been a satisfaction to Mr.
Kaiser to have escaped spending 15 days
in the county jail, but I think most persons
would have preferred the penalty imposed
by the circuit court to having their mem
ory banded down to posterity in such
Dimze'nt language in tbe Oregon reports.
Mow, it may oe tnat rfuage Webster waa
wrong in his judgment, but that ia no ex
cuse tor tbe abuse and calumny now
heaped upon him by the democratic press.
As the supreme court said in its opinion in
the case: -
If the Dublishers of such contemDtible
articles are lext alone to urea tne their own
fetid exhalations, it will be the most suita
ble Dunishment which can be inflicted udod
them.
And it may be that it would have been
better to have so left Mr. Kaiser instead oi
attempting to bring bun to a realisation qf
bis offensive conduct by judicial pro-
ceedings.
At the time a number or newspapers
throughout the state criticised Judge
Webster, on tbe ground that newspapers
should be exempt from punishment for
such abuse, and extracts from these news
papers and quantities of otner matter have
been electrotyped by Kaiser and sent to
all the newspapers, with the hope that it
would be published. These paragraphs
which are going the. rounds of the demo
cratic papers do not cost them a cent for
composition; Kaiser furnishes them every
thing, fie bas niled a whole issue of bis
paper with abuse of Webster, and it is said
that be had 7000 copies struck off for free
distribution. He is running a literary
bureau for campaign purposes on his own
account, and all to vent his spleen against
Judge Webster. He published in bis news
paper a garbled and twisted copy of the
opinion of the supreme court in the case,
carefully leaving out all portions thereof
that reflect upon his own conduct, includ
ing, of course, the paragraphs I have
auotcd above.
it seems to me tnat people wno know
these facta will not be tnnuenced much by
such newspaper articles. Most of ua do
not like to be used as tools to accompbah
tne petty schemes oi sucn men as iiaiser.
l noticed early in tne campaign a num
ber of anonymous letters from friends of
Mr, Chamberlain urging people to vote for
him because the office that he was given by
tne appointment oi me governor expires
sooner than be supposed it would when he
accepted it. Tbis can be no reason for any
republican to vote ior bim. I fail
to see where be ia entitled to
sympathy. This is a political
office and , the . republicans arc
entitled to fill. it. No more able oi
conscientious person could be selected fof
it than Judge Webster, and while Mr.
Chamberlain is also a man above reproach,
be certainly cannot expect republicans to
ioie ior mm unless iney are mislead by
nc!) vile stuff as Kaiser ia disseminatinir.
'ind this, from my knowledge of Mr. Cham-
era;n, l am connaent be does not wish.

.:i-t--.;i woiuu nut piease Air. inamoerlain.
,k1 it seems that even in a nob'timl ram.

be subjected to it. '- '
Heath of Mr. W. J. Miens.
A few days ago Mr. Miens became sick
from eating gooseberries and for t tbe post
four days suffered severely from diarrhoea
ad inflammation of tbe abdomen. Yester-
d.y he was considered better, and it was
supposed in a few days he would com.
pletely recover; but last night he became
worse, and this morning, abont 3 o'clock,
he died. He was born in Delaware county,
New Yoik, bo,it fotty-one years ago, and
has resided in the vicinity of The Dalles for
the past nine years. Mr. Miecs was a man
of honest, iuduatnous habiis, and was very
highly respected for many sterling qualities.
He was a cousin of our fellow citizen, Mr.
J. C. Mienp, at whose home he died, and
has a lance number of relatives living in
aew lork, among them his mother. Tbe
funcr; 1 will take plr.ee Sunday from tbe

viso attached in conference to tbe amend
mem proviaing ior tne construction or a

''Provided, tbat in ordertbat no on-

company Having vc-s'td rghts .in tbe
lands over which fuch right of way is
required and upon which scch terminal
tacilities are needed, and which is author
ized to construct and operate a railroad
ibereon, its successors or ass'ens, for tbe
use of the road bed ot ucb boat railway
ior its railway track or. tracks or for
trackage over taid boat railway, or both,
lor a railroad to be constructed within a

retary, upon such conditions and subject
to tucb regulations as may be persrribed

account of prohable difficulties in secur
