COURTS JOIN GRAFTERS IN "A CONSPI
RACY A6AINST CIVILIZATION."
The decision ot the appelate court In
the Schiuitz cue, whereio the work of
grand jury and prosecution for months
past Is all undone, has provoked the
Oregonian to the following:
"Five decisions have been made by
our higher courts within the last few
days which outrage the common sense
of mankind. Two of them came from
the Supreme Court of the United States;
of these two, one holds virtually that
the law does oot forbid fraud upon the
Government; the other, that employers
In dangerous trades can compel work
men to bear all the risks. Two of the
decisions came from the Supreme
Court of Oregon. Of these one annuls
the sentence of a confessed murderer
on a minute technicality of law; the
other declares that a leather strap Is
neither a whip cor anything like a
whip. The fifth decision made by the
California Court of Appeals, holds that
it is lawful for the Mayor of a city to
extort money from restaurant keepers
by threats, and sets free the notorious
grafter Schmltz.
"Is not this a beautiful record? Does
it tend 'o fortify our confidence In tha
courts? Doss it assure us that they
are busy doing justice or that they are
doiog something else? Touching the
Schmitz decision, Judge Dunne, who !?
not a rash man either in speech or act,
accuses the Court of Appeals of some
thing very much like corruption. The
members, he s?ya, have friends and
relatives among the gang of grafters to
which Sohmiu belongs. If they were
no. -st men would they have under
taken to deoidb M? appeal? The truth
1* that these judges were put In place
by the same power that created
Sohmitc. They are creatures ot the
Herrln-RueKJalhoun Syndicate. Their
authority la part of a conspiracy
against civilization in California.
They were put in office to protect thiev
ery and they fulfl 11 their obligation by
givin-' Immunity to thieves."
JUNEAU TO SUY AND BACK A6AIN
Yesterday the Alaskan printed an
editorial from the Juneau Record in
which Skagway was lauded for her
enterprise, saying: ''The people of
Skagway, apparently, are not only talk
ing and planning, but are up and doing,
and already progress is being made in
the work outlined. The town is
certainly to be congratulated * * *
The residents have faith in the future
of their olty; are willing to go down Into
their pockets and cheerfully pay the
the cost of Improvement* in contem
plation. Skagway is on the right path.
Good luck to her."
In its astonished reprinting ot this
the Alaakan remarked upon its unusual
nature, coming from Juneau, and It is
with more composure that we tind the
old town behaving naturally again.
The very day following the above the
Record offers this neighborly little
gem.
Tin Skagway AUikaa la working
atresooaaly to obtaia a large oeme
U17 for Skagwaj. If tha Alaakan
wovH taka an outalder'a advice. It
would tuggait building a fanoo
aroond tha town and lotting It go at
that.
. In Skagway* son. the dead are buried.
IT IS ALL OVER
"Wore people orowd the corridors
of the savings bajks of New York
these days than were to be found there
during the height of the financial
flurry, wher thousands of frightened
people flocked to the banks to withdraw
tbelr saving*. The crowds today are
oot there to withdraw money but to
deposit It, eays a dispatch from New
York.
"Thousands of those who gare aotlce
of withdrawal hare since canceled it.
while other thousands are rushing to
place their money In the hanks
that tbey may receive Interest for the
period which began January 1."
PHILOSOPHIES FROM POPE
What and how great the virtue and the
srt,
To live on little with a cheerful heart.
Between excess and famine lies a mean,
Plain, but not sordid, though not splen
did, clean.
Its proper power to aurt each creature
feels;
Bulls aim their horns, and asses kick
their heels.
Long Is to him who works for debt, the
day.
True, conscious honor is to feel no sin;
He's armed without that's innocent
within.
Do good by stealth, and blush to find it
fame.
All nature Is but art, unknown to thee,
All chanoe, direction which thou canst
not see.
Manners with fortunes, humors turn
with climes,
Tenets with books, and principles with
times.
Woo shall deelde when doctors dis
agree ?
As Heaven's blest beam turns vinegar
more sour.
Hard Luck.
, "It looks very much as though torn*
people are born to 111 luck," sighed the
old lady.
"Why do you think bo?" queried the
chance caller.
"Well, take myself, for Instance," said
the old lady. "I have collected nearly
10,000 medical recijKW aud pasted them
Into a book during the last fifty years,
and I have never been sick a day In
my life."? Chicago News.
Holy Water Stoupc.
Tho holy water stoup in mediaeval
churches took ninny strange forms. In
the little village church of Annonny,
In France, there are two very flue
one? made from the two part$ of the
?hell of a giant o.vster found In thq
Malay peninsula, whence they were
brought 160 years ago by a son of the
village who wm an official In French
India lu Its palmy days. ? London
Scraps.
Corrosion of Boilers.
Corrosion or the wasting away of the
iron of a steam boiler may be due to
acid In tlio feed water, says Ideal Pow
er. Where sulphuric acid Is found Id
this water Its destructive force is of
ten spent In destroying the feed pipe#
before It actually enters the boiler.
This Is expensive, annoying and ever
dangerous In some cases, but is much
preferable to a boiler explosion.? Ex
change.
Our Sun and Other*.
Our sun is a pretty big affair, Its
diameter being 800,000 miles, exceed
lng that of the earth's 100 times; itn
surface 11,750 times that of the earth,
Its volume exceeding that of the eartb
1,260,000 times and Its mass (or at
tractive power> being 32C.000 times
greater than that of the earth. But,
great as the sun is, it Is but one of
many hundreds of thousands of simi
lar bodies.? New York American.
Winning Argument*.
"You do not assert yourself as much
as you might lu advocating govern
ment policies."
"No," answered Senator Sorghum;
"I have discovered that no economic
theory can be evolved which will be
as much of an argument with my con
stituents as a few properly located
public improvements or a well select
ed postmaster."? Washington Star.
8trong Men of the Markets.
The porters of the central markets
at Paris, which are the largest mar
kets in the world, are called "the
strong men of the markets" because
of their great muscle and wonderful
endurance. They wear hats as big ns
parasols, which enable them to carry
on their bends most unwieldy and un
pleasant burdens, such as crates of
fowls, rabbits and suckling pigs.? In
dianapolis News.
I Helpless.
The following was told at a smoker
. recently, says Llpplncott's. The nar
I rator told of a little feed he once at
! tended where eight men were sent
I home In one hack, and tho driver slm
I ply rang the doorbeU, and when a fem
| jplne voice called. from an upper win
dow, "Wlio Is there?" the Jehu re
plied, "Missus, will you be so kind as
to como down nnd pick out your
baby?"
Helpful.
"Say, boss," begun the beggar, "gim
me de price of a square meal, won't
yer? "1 don't want booze. I'll go right
Inter dls restaurant"?
"I haven't 'got any money for you,"
growled the gloomy looking dyspeptic
who had Just come out, "but I'll giv*
you a tip. If you do get the price don't
go In that pluce for a square meal,
for you won't get It"? Philadelphia
Press.
Grant In Counoil.
I . found that, as a rule, Grant did not
favor formal councils of war. #He did,
however, enjoy getting the opinions
of able men concerning the practica
bility of this or that plan. Without
committing himself, he went away to
reflect, to make up his mind, and then
to Issue his orders so simply aud clear
ly that none could mistake their mean
ing.? General 0. O. Howard in Cen
