Newspaper Page Textt21 She a gtomtn ASTORIA, OREGON: SATUKDAY DECEMBER 1. THK ASTORIA VIGILANTES. O.vn of Hie most singular cases in the annals of jurisprudence termi nated last Wednesday in Portland. As far as we are informed it is without precedent The plaintnT was a man who had for a brief period been a res ident of this place. The defendants were a number of well-known cjti- seus. The charge was unlawful in fringement of personal liberty and illegal infliction of severe punish meut on the plaintiff by the defen daflts. It is the first instance, to our knowledge, where a vigilance com mittee was sued for damages by one of those with wbom it had dealt Usually, the summary nature of such proceedings renders any appeal to legal tribunals a matter of total im possibility on the part of the injured. Some extraordinary testimony was elicited during the trial, and the de fendants were mulcted in the snm of 81000. Now that the trial is over, it would be idle to deny that a vigilance com mittee was in existence in this city last July; that it seized and whipped some, sent others awny peaceably but forcibly, and did what most such or ganizations do without going to the dreadful length of taking human life, Whether the committee was or was not justified in its action is a question that the Portland trial did not settle. It is a matter that has been argued here a thousand times, and it is to day an open question. A great many citizens say that after the fire there was a lawless element here that could not be controlled by the ordinary pro cesses of municipal law: that that ele ment was a menace of danger, and that a due regard for the peace of the cily and the safety of the citizens de manded that a temporary organiza tion be effected whose object was to purge Astoria of those who threat oned the peace of the city and whose nature and occupation was in direct opjwisition to quiet and security. On the other hand there are a large num ber of citizens who maintain that at the time there was no more of that class than there had been at any previ oub time, that whatever of pillage, rob bery or excess that had been commit ted after the fire had been done bv men who simply jseized the opportu nity and who were in no way connect ed with the class the committee ostracised; that in seizing, imprison ing and whipping certain parties, the vigilance committee went beyond all justice and took to itself powers that the occasion in no way justified. In other words a part of this commnni ty sympathizes with those who were sent away from here by the vigilantes last July; another part of the community say that the vigilan tes did right The unfortunate part of it is that neither side is willing to concede that the others have any reapon for their belief. It is not essential in a brief news papor article that we go at length in to the causes that produced the effect They are far reaching in their nature and can be more fairly dealt with when they produce a fit ting champion. It is but our present purpose to say that there can be nothing gained, there cjin be no good rasult achieved by further discussion concerning the acts of last July. It is unwise to sug gest "Next lime the committee will hang, and that will avoid anv possi bility of court trials." This is not the right spirit, and deserves severe con demnation from all right-thinking men. There should bo no "next time." There should be no suggestion of the possibility of its recurrence. There should be no suggestion of imaginary circumstances wherein any means of that sort figure. Vigilance committees are not born of cool de liberation, but of urgent necessity. They are useful in proportion to their infrequency. There are times when vigilance committees are unavoidable. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, and a man will kill to keep from being killed, but the occa sions that demand the existence of a power that takes the law in its own hands are very rare. Let us hope that, it may be long before the neces sity arises in Astoria. The know! edge that the spirit exists latent is however, the most efficacious pre ventative of any need for its active manifestation. Ox the 2Sth Secretary Teller ren dered the following decision in the case recently reported at the general land ollice from Washington Tern tory, in which one Basil was accused of trespassing and cutting timber un lawfully on the public lands: The accused, although a squatter, is right fully on the land if ho intends to make a home on it and take it under the settlement laws -when the land is snrveyed, and he is allowed to do so, Whether he is or is not a trespasser docs not depend on how many trees he cuts, but on the bona fide charac ter of the settlement If lie takes up laud in good faith he is the owner thereof to all practical purposes, al though the title may remain in the government which occasionally suff ers by the loss of timber cut on pre tended homestead and pre-emption claims. Westebk Montana reports great excitement over reported gold and Bilver discoveries in the Coeur Alene mountains. The mines are at Eaele City in southern Idaho, and the usual rush is taking place. An iron ship has been chartered in San Francisco to load wheat for Liverpool at 27s Gd, the lowest figure freights ever.reached at that port Minneapolis, Minn., has more than doubled its population since the last Federal census was taken.
