Goodwohd, which sailed from Portland,
Oregon, Jan. 5th, and according to the
masters protest, struck heavily while
crossing the Columbia river bar on Feb.

She also encountered heavy gales on the
passage and had her decks swept frequent

MORE SUNDAY LAw.-Some of the wise
heads of this Territory have just discovered
that we have had for many years Sunday
law closing saloons, etc., in several sections
of the old Code, but it has been at all times
dead letter, and the very wise and smart
prohibitionists did not even know of its ex-
istence. We last week published synopsis
of lawyer Whites opinion of the special
Sunday law, and he has since published the
following in the Seattle Post:
Since that opinion was published, an ex-
animation of the laws passed on this sub
ject by the recent Legislative Assembly has
been made, and we find upon the statute
books Sunday law" which in all proba-
bility has the legal requirements to make it
valid act, and is not subject to the tech
nical objections urged against the law here
tofore published.
1t will be remembered that the recent
Legislative Assembly enacted a complete
code of laws for the Territory. This work
was prepared by the lawyers of that body,
and as / am informed, was passed by the as
sembly simply by reading it by title. As it
may be of interest for the people to know
WHat tuiS Ouuudy law ~, 50 JnaI Cney may
not be taken unawares and shared into the
trap of the malicious prosecutor, will now
give it in full. Section 1866 of this new
code of laws reads:
Sec. 1866. No person shall keep open any
play house or theater, race ground, cockpit,
or play at any game of chance for gain, or
engage in any noisy amusement, or keep
open any drinking or billiard saloon, or sell
or dispose of any intoxicating liquors as a
beverage, on the LIST day Of the week COM
monty called Sunday.
Following the section quoted are other
sections on the same subject, touching the
transaction of judicial baisness on Sunday,
and imposing fines and penalties forviolation
of the law.
1t will be seen from the foregoing that the
Sunday law is altogether different from what
it was generally supposed to be. Nolaw-
yer, unless after most critical examination,
will say that section 1866 of the criminal
code cannot be enforced. Whilst l believe
that all such acts are in violation of a funda.
mental principle of the constitution of our
country, !. e: free exercise of religious or
non-religious belief, yet the courts have gen.
orally upheld such laws, all things else being
equal. w. H. WHITE.

The Portland Oregonian says the
Columbia river defences are in q
wretched state. The few guns at Fort
Candy are mounted on frail wooden
platforms which would not stand the
jar of an hours steady firing, and
since the sands have shifted, Fort
Stevens is out Of range of the channels.
A hostile fleet could file into the river,
demolish Astoria, then come up the
river and turn its guns on Portland
without meeting any resistance which
it could not laugh to scorn. Recent
diplomatic jars with Chill, q compar-
atively strong naval power, suggest
the Importance of efficient equipment
of coast forts.
If we can place reliance upon the
Oregoniaws former utterances regard
ing the bars which impede the navi-
CATION of the Columbia and William
cite rivers there would not be the least
danger of a CHILEAN iron-clad bonn
harding Portland, except it went
ashore and walked around the bars so
as to.get to Portland. Either the mag
nitude of the bars or the dangerous
qualities of Gillian iron-clads have
been magnified. Anyhow no hostile
fleet could get into the river with an
opposition pilot to lead, and the mo-
nopoly pilots could be instructed to
refuse their assistance. Such a course
would be more economical than build
ing more forts and big guns. For this
purpose alone the bars and monopoly
pilots are worth preserving.

The Seattle Post says that Governor
Newell has quite little storm beat
ing about his head in consequence OF
the pardon of McAllister, the Walla
Walla murderer The Governor has
been very 10th to put in use the par
doning power placed in his hands,
and he used it in this case only after
repeated, influential and responsible
urging, the petitioners including the
Prosecuting attorney, the presiding
Judge; half the recent Legislature, and
others. McAllister promised to leave
the Territory if pardoned. Instead of
doing this he has gone back to his old
home, much to the disapproval of his
former neighbors." What would the
Governor have raised if he had par
doned criminals with the same reck-
lessness as Thayer of Oregon? Thank
goodness he has sense enough to ex-
ercise his pardoning powers with dis
erection.

AS the trial Of Guiteau Is approach

return verdict Of guilty. But there
are some who claim TO have seen GER
tain signs which indicate that the
jury will disagree. Some even 20 so
far ~ that they now stand nine fol
conviction and three wavering, even
naming the latter. There Is for this
superstition but the slightest kind Of
foundation. There is little doubt thai
should the verdict be guilty the pris.
oner will spend several months In jaiI
before execution. OF course the de.
PENDANTS counsel will take IN tho
case 70 the next general term, ant
should the trial last over this week
the next general term, converting OF

There is now going on an extensive
controversy among the newspapers
regarding the prohibitory liquor law
of Kansas, and its results. Many
newspapers claim that it is partially
imperative, and worse than no law,
while all the temperance organs stoutly
maintain that prohibition is not a
farce. AS an impartial and disinter-
ested spectator the Milwaukee Evening
Wisconsion says:
Virtual contradiction of the recent
assertion by Governor st. John, Of
Kansas, to the effect that thecast-iron
law of prohibition in his state. does
really prohibit, is offered by Governor
Charles Robinson, who was the leader
of New England colonists in the first
settlement of Kansas, also the first
goveror of Kansas, and always q con-
sistent temperance man. The latter
AYERS that the habit of excessive
drinking in the state is much more
prevalent at the present time than
ever before. He supports his assertion
by abundant data, insists that the
proper movement for prohibition de-
generated into a movement of mere
political tricksters, and even bluntly
warns the temperance people of other
states not to contribute to the fifty
thousand dollar fund to aid the en-
forcement of prohibition in Kansas,
because the money, if secured, will be
used only for political and selfish pur-
poses. Such statements on such au-
thority can hardly prove otherwise
than greatly detrimental to the cause
of prohibitive legislation now vigor-
ously agitated in different states of the
Union.
Again, as matter having signifi-
cant bearing upon this subject we
may state that Gov. st. John has is
sued q proclamation, offering rewards
from 800 to $500 for information lead
ing to the CONVICTION of any city mar
shall, county attorney, or any other
officers of certain cities for neglect of
duty in enforcing the prohibitory law
of that state. A similar reward is Of
fered for the conviction of brewers or
others engaged in manufacturing
liquors in the cities named. Now, il
the law is enforced and prohibition in
Kansas is not farce, what need is
there Of offering rewards for offenders?
If the law is not violated, why 20
much fuss about it?
Prohibitory laws cannot effect the
object aimed at any more than law
eau compel men and women to become
church members and believers in re-
ligion. The most effective temper
ance movement in this age, which
savors of force, is extreme high taxa
ton and high license.
