Governor Lord said last night: "If It is a fact that England has purchased Cuba, it must, bo regarded as a menace to our safety, and fur nishes much stronger reasons for the enforcement of tho Monroe doctrlno than tho Venezuela aso." The governor is not adverse to war.

(Editor Jeurnal: Moved by n pur pose 60lcly humanitarian I dcslro to say a few words In a desire to alleviate the-hbdomlnnl Irritation which seems to nave violent poosilon of Borne portion of tho editorial force of your morning contemporary. Ati'occaslonal Intervals during tho last Vew years my namo has Iwcn mentioned In connection with several ofllccrji of more or less dlst luct ion by pnrtlhl friends who have been thotijritcfts enough to do bo without first consulting tho chief basht-bazook who qVumes to make and unmake men, und to dictate policies and measures for the Republican party from the sanctum of the paper above referrcclto. This Tact would be unworthy of notice, ppve that it has becoino the source of, such fruitful annoyance to the paper aforesaid that Its stomach troublcsg have becoino of regular monthlyfjecurrencc, and of spasmodic symptoms. Permit me to say, there fore, as amicans of temporary relief, that the other Marlon county gentle men wlj'oin It qulto favorably mentions 'ns possible candidates for congress have been as frequently urged by admiring friends for ns many different positions as 1 have bien; and That I regard It ns being altogether creditable to thoso gentle men, since, if n man's Intellectual vitality is ebbing so low that his friends never think of him In con nection with but one office ho Is quite sure to never rise abovo tho mental mediocrity that marks tho swampy ljvel sturdily maintained by a Mis souri democrat who undertakes to "edit" a republican newspaper. I am slncorcly sorry my name has bienso frcojy. "diversified11 nsto of ficial positions, in ,vlow of tho grlof It occasions in tho office of tho "eight page daily," but I. find my greatest consolation In tho reflection that there are far abler men than I am, in fact, mon who wcro almost equal to tho editor himself, who lmvo been tho vlctoms of Blmllnr delinquencies, and finally passed nway through tho embittered environments of disap pointed ambition. But tho gross violation of political propriety which Is always committed when my nnmo Is mentioned for po litical preferment had its origin in tho. office of tho eight pago dnily, which, somo thrco years ago, gave so many reasons why I should bo nomi nated for congress, and Mr. Hermann retired, that my modesty has scarcely yet recovered from the severity of tho blow. I humbly hopo that since that time my standing In tho Republican party has not been adversely affected, either by tho utterances of political heresy or by any failure to work enthusiastic ally, whenever duty has called me, for tho success of nil Republican candi dates, from our highly esteemed gov ernor down. But I have neither tho tlmo nor tho inclination to fight Republican aspir ants for congressional honors; thoy aro all, so far as I know, good men for tho position sought; somo things can be said even In favor of Mr. Hermann, although ho made an egregious blunder a few years ago In the matter of ap pointing a collector of customs for thU district. I desire, therefore, for n purpose purely humanitarian In Its nature, and In a spirit of grovelling humility, to so nearly approach tho gracious throne of the great high priest, who, by sheer force of Intellectual ponder osity, makes governors tremble, con gressmen shiver und political aspir ants generally wilt, that I may re n sr : with prostrate form, that I am not a candidate for any nomination.

POLITICAL POINTERS Report Against a Free Home .stead Law. GEN, THOS, EWIN6 DEAD Arrangements for solidation a Silver Move. Con- Wabhisotox, Jan. 21. Tho house committee on public lands has re ceived from sccrotary Smith a strong adverse report against tho free home stead bill. The bill absolves nil per sons completing five years rcsldenco on lands, taken and occupied under homestead laws, from making further payment to secure tholr titles other than fees, incident to filing and ob taining proof. The measure Is n sweeping one, and land officials esti mate Its passage would Involve nt least $,10,000,000 cost to government and $18,000,000 In Oklohnmanlono.thls being tho amount paid tho Indians for relinquishment of tholr lands. anNKttAi. r.wiuo dkad.

Of I nobled by Judge Bellinger, or wcro theso sixty-rour aro in iNo. z, w rar tho prospect for a largo criminal docket Is somewhat slim. Attorney Win. Kaiser has brought suit against F. E. Bornmnu et al. to recover on a promissory noto for $337.30, executed by tho dofendnnt In plaintiff's favor on March 12, 1801, and for which a mortgage on certain real estate was given us security. Tho complaint was filed with tho county clerk yestenduy. Tho petition of Leo Willis, admin lstrutor of the cstato of John S.

Kellehor was discharged from tho county Jail yestcrdny, having ssrved out a lino of &0 imposed by Judge Edes for tho crlmoof larceny of several bibles from F. 8. Dearborn on September 20, 1894. Kclloher was ar rested at Portland about the 20th of last month on u warrant sworn out by Mr. Dearborn and placed In Chclf Dllley'a hands. It now appears that Kelleher has been falsely Imprisoned and that ho had nothing to do what ever In tho theft and Mr Dearborn, yesterday, mado acknowledgment to that effect. The guilty ono, however, Is known and will bo placed under ar rest ere manv days) . THE S. P. TRAIN ROBBERS. Convicted Under Pressure of n Big Re ward. Glendnle, Or., Jan. 20. (Cor.) Tho attention of tho residents of south Douglas has centered upon tho-ieports In the Oregoulau of tho trial of tho State vs. Case and Peel for train rol blng In tho canyon below this place on July 1, 1895. As ono who does not wish to clear tho guilty or convict tho innocent, who can speak without prejudice, we say that many points along the line of evidence appeared to us as remarkable. "We noticed with pride and pleasure tho grandeur of Justlco with which Judge Bellcngc'r presided over the case How carefully ho considered every point, pro or con, that wus brought before him. He weighed the evidence with Inborn principle of hu manity that Is dlvlno In Its attributes and marks tho honored Judge who considers It no light matter to deprive it fellow of his liberty and condemn him to a felon's cell for life. With tho past lives of Peel and Cnso wo have little to do. Tho point to bo considered Is, were thoy at tho Bccnes of tho holdup, and did they commit tho crime for which ihey were arraigned. In the great Durrant case tho whole II fo of tho accused had been passed within the Bacred palo of n pious home; and for yenrs ho had been a regular attondant at Emanuel Bap tist church, and was an officer In Its Sabbnth school when ono of tho great est crimes of tho century was dis covered to lmvo been committed with in Its enclosure. All of thoso facts had no weight with Judgoor Jury. Thoy nlono sought to establish tho main, point, was Theodora Durrant tho murderer of Miss Lamont and Miss Wllllnms? On tho samo prlnclplo tho former lives of Peel and Case should not prevent tbem from receiving a Just nnd Impartial trial. Again wo noticed that some of tho witnesses had forgotten (?) Mint It rained In tho Cow Creek canyon dur ing tho first days of July. July 4 was a very rainy day at tl Is place, and In factall through tho Cow Creek mountains. Parties who went from this placo to hunt train robbers returned wet nnd disappointed. Could Individual tracks lmvo been located at that tlmo near tho place of the hold up, which was visited by hundreds of people ? Wo think not becnuso tracks upon tho green grass or upon the soft earth would lmvo been washed away nnd baon obliterated. Were nil thoso zealous and Interested ones who were scouring tho hills and canyons ndja- co,,t to U, robbcri'' hun""K tra,n roblwrs-nnlmated by tho nicety of thoy "for tho hopo of gain" trying to fasten tho crime upon any ono In order to securo tiio roward. ? To u resident of tho southern por tion of Douglns county, this cnso ap peals with peculiar forcc.lt is no light thing becuuho mon lire personally your enemies, you could for a few paltry dollars seek to deprive them of their sacred 'and lnallcnablo right ns citizens or this great commonwealth, noted for being th6 homo of frco men, condemn them to stnto prison for lifo t, (,0 ot , to vm,r friends, and becauso you could use tho $0,000 named as a roward.
