T. T. OEER'S SARCASM.
Hcply to a Chance Blow Prom tho
Statesman."
( . Macleay, Jan. 18, 1800.
(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.
I was, but urn not now, of court?

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.
