Editors Leader
On last Saturday morning, a melton come
on to be heard in the Circuit Court, for the
setting gasidesthe..verdict of the jury in the Ed
ward Murphy murder trial. The ground on
which the motion was based, was that the
iury were allowed to converse with persons
on political subjects after being chosen and
before the verdict, also, that one Of the jurors
drank spirituous liquor during the same time.
1t did not appear that more than one drink
was taken and that occurred SO hours before
the trial began. The motion was denied and
two o'clock P. n. appointed by the Court for
passing sentence At the appointed hour the
court room was packed with leople. among
whom were some Is ladies' The court or
dered the prisoner to stand up then informed
MIN of what had been done, and asked if he
had anything to say as reason why the SEN
tenee Of the law be not passed. The response
was in the negative. The Judge proce ded to
pass in substance, the following sentence.
''In the name of the State of Oregon, and by
virtue OF the verdict Of the jury in this cause,
and the laws of This State, the CDurt sentences

Everybody is interested in furthering
the growth of the city in which he lives.
Energy begets energy, and spirit of
progress is infectious. II, two years ago,
a large and sufficient number of tenement
buildings had been erected by some Of
our enterprising citizens, our population
to-day would have been increased won-
derfully. The increased number of peo-
pie aids each and every kind of business,
and the whole reacts to tae common
good. And such a speculation would be
profitable in pecuniary sense to the
parties engaged in it. Rents to-day are
bringing better remuneration than any
ordinary investment of the same money,
and herein lies the guarantee Of success.
It may be urged that this is bad year.
But while this is trse, it need not and
does not of necessity form an insuperable
barrier to growth. A glance at the de.
| velopment of the city Of Weston during
the past six months establishes this AT

The Republican organ at Pendleton
with its characteristic brilliancy and as
tuteness accounts for the falling off of
the Republican vote in this state and
county. It attributes the increased ma
jority Of the democrats in this county to
the lack of Aintsrest in our national af-
fairs" exhibited by the republicans. This
10 certainly complimentary. But that
far-seeing sheet goes farther and adds
nRspcrts from Multnomah County state
that at least 500 persons did no. GO to
the polls on account of the heavy rain.
This accounts for the republican losses as
far as heard from." There are not many
who could so ably have accounted foa
republican losses in California, Nevada
and else where That rain in Portland

A periodical cessation from toll seems
necessary to mans well being The
Christian world believes in Sabbath as
a day Of rest. Many countries make
proper observance of this day compul
sorry. Our own State laws prohibits the
carrying on of business on Sunday. Yet
many who would fain be considered as
law abiding citizens utterly disregard
both the divine and human law as far as
it concerns violation of the Sabbath.
Now while there may be those whose ac-
tions are not governed by any considera-
tions of the decalogue as such, and who
may think it nothing wrong to set aside
any state law that does not commend it.
self to their judgemet, yet there is very
large class of people who regard these
things differently, and we think that
their opinions and feelings are entitled
to respect. The man who thinks there
is no harm in buying on Sunday should
remember that many object to selling on
that day. A decent respect for the opin-
ions Of others would do away with a great
deal of Sunday work. A proper regard
for the law of the land would abolish it
entirely, and a thorough appreciation
and obedience of the requirements Of the
body would make the observation of the
Sabbath an important duty.
"The researches upon this point are
| most marvellous. Even from the most
earthly standpoint and with utter obliv-
iousness Of its spiritual and religious char.
acter, the principle of a seventh days rest
stands disclosed as law of man S physi
cal nature. Not merely a portion Of time

portion of time, as needful recreation
