They sent Ixiok word to the writer to in

would be sent. He did so, and received
tbe terse reply t Thifnka for the money
I yon are too much of a sucker to make
detective. Turn your talents in another
direction." ' ,
A Just Verdict.
The case of the state vs. Thomas Lew
ie wat given to the Jnry at The Dalles
Saturday afternoon, and within thirty
ininutee the court wat informed that a
verdict had been reached. When the
verdict was read It was that the jury
found the defendant guilty as charged
in the indictment. The crime for which
Lewis was tried was tl e burning of 80
tons of bay belonging to Phil Brogan,
near Antelope, on the night of the 13th
of November. Although the evidence
given in the trial of tbis cae was entire
ly circumstantial, It wat to conclusive
that the jury could arrive at no other
conclusion than that the defendant was
ftie guilty party.
Thit has been one of tbe most expen
sive cases to that county that has been
tried during the present term of court,
16 witnesses having been broogbt from
Antelope, but it is money well expended,
for Lewis' crime it one tbat should not
go unpunished. Society hat no protec
tion against the diabolical deeds of an
Incendiary, except the punishment
meted out by the courts after the crime
bat been committed, the property of the
victim destroyed, and whenever one of
thit class of criminals is brought to jus
tice, society feelt the relief that it may
serve to prevent other aimilar crimes.
Banker Bush Interviewed.
OregonlaD,
A. Bush the Salem banker, well known
tbrougout tbe Northwest, baa just re
turned from a two months' trip in tbe
East. Most of bis time was spent in tbe
New England states, New York and
Washington, D. C. From bit observa
tions, Mr Bush feelt warranted in say
ing tbe worst of the bard timet is over
in the East. Mr. Bush la a Cleveland
democrat, and is very discreet in hit
statements of the business condition of
tbe country, at associated with politics.
He maintains that times would have
been as distressing had Harrison been
re-elected. Mr. Bush gives President
Cleveland tbe credit of averting disaster
and maintaining the credit of thit gov
ernment. He finds a considerable bus-
ness element In favor of renominating
Cleveland. Should he be tbe nominee,
Mr. Bush estimates that, besides tbe
sprinkling of democrats, he would carry
the support of balf tbe republicans that
can read and write. He considers Am
son's chances best, and Reed'a next
best for tbe republican nomination.
Tbe position of neither, eays Mr. Busb,
ia clearly defined on the money question
Mr. Busb has felt the pulse of business
in the East, and gives it out there will
be a strong demand made on both polit
ical parties for a platform clear and uc
equivocal on the money question. Mr.
Buah it also an orthodox democrat on
tariff lines, and goes so far as to say
tbat Eastern manufactories are becoming
adjusted to tbe new order, and want no
change. Free wool, with a reduction on
manufactured woolens, he holds, is
worth more to Oregon than a high tar
iff on wool. While Banker. Bush con
cedes that things now point to a re
publican victory next year, yet he sees a
glimmer of hope for his party in the
fact that this is an era of tidal waves,
and the unexpected may happen.
