Gov. Bush has stated to an
Oregoaian reporter that the crowd
ed condition of the penltentiary
is the main reason why SO many
couvlcts have been pardoned.
This is o thin excuse for turnipg G
loose upon the people a lot OF
hardened criminals who have
been but lightly punished for
grave crimes committed by them.
Already one or two of the con-
yicts so pardoned have been re-
turned to the penltentiary by the
courts for new crimes, and the
people cannot but help thin king
that if tie penltentIary is rot
large enough to hold the convlcts
other places for their safe keep
ing should be provided by the
Governor. They have the sus>
picion that Governor Bush pro-
poses to secure a little cheap no.
toriety for close management OF
penltentiary affairs, even though
he Is compelled to throw open the
doors OF the State prison to the
convicts in order to keep down
expenses.

THE HARBoR OF REFUGE.

Senator Mitchell has written a
letter to the Portland Bee in
which he argues that the Board OF
Engineers appointed TO locate the
harbor of refuge cannot declare
that such harbor Is not necessary.
The necessity of the harbor, be
says, has been settled by the Act
of Congress which made appro-
priatlon for Its construction, and
therefore the board of Engineers
has only the duty to perform of
locating the harbor where it will
best meet the wants of the sea-
going vessels. And IN the same
letter the Senator makes sport OF
the Oregonian's declaration to the
effect that the building of the har-
Dor would have as a result the
loss to the State of future Con~
gressional aid in the way of ap>
preparations tor many years to
come, or so long as the break wa>
ter was In course of construction.
Senator Mitchell clearly shows
that the building of the harbor is
a national affair, in which not
Oregon commerce alone Is con-
cerned, but the commerce of the
United States; hence the appro-
priatlon is not and will not be
made for this State but for
all the States, ard cannot affect
in any way the measures thai
may hereafter be introduced for
Oregon's benefit.
