probably capture HIM. Dr.. M. H. Ellis

A THRDAT FROM OTTAWA.

OTTAWA, Aug. 2.-Thc Citizen, the
organ Of the government here, which
hitherto has been silent on the Behring
sea question, to day says 10 it's editorial
colamu: "If the present government at
Washington fails to bring about serious
complications between the imperial
government and the United States it
will not be because no effort has been
pat forth to produce this uudesired result
The truth is that statesmen of the
caliber Of Webster and Clay do not now
reach maturity 10 the Southern portion
Of this continent. Pedjling politicians,
seekers after notoriety, professors Of
brag and duplicity appear to have
monopolised ali the places Of importance,
and are intent upon forcing issues with
this country, which i.s people sre rapidly
learning to despise and not to fear. The
recent shameful act Of piracy committed
upon . canadian vessel iu Brbring Sea
is absolutely unjusti6able, aud has only
ono redeeming feature, namely. that il
bring the whole question under consider.
alton, aud the Washington authorities
will be obligated to apologize a. we'll as
recoup the owners Of the vessel they
iuterfercd with. II this is not done,
what 10 left Of the Yankee naval effects
will probably disappear from more seas
then the Behrink."

EuMERoUs FIRES.

The greater portion Of the news which
reaches " each week consists Of tele
grams aud accounts Of fires; some in
popular towns and some in the timber
and fields Of grain. The season has been
70 dry and prolonged that everything
green has become parcLed and ignites
very readily, either by accident or
design. The charges are very numerous,
through the different papers from differ
rnt quarters, that most Of these fres are
the result Of incendiary work. In some
instances the truth of this remark has
becn very evident, although, 50 fat as We
know, the proper punishmens Of these
iucendiaries has net been made apparent.
Many resolutions and threats Of what
will be done hereafter are made, mono Of
which eliminated to any given point.
The great majority Of the fres which
interest The people Of the Northwest
have occurred in Washington Territory,
aud great many charge that they arr
originated BY class Of people who have
htely como to this coast and are demon
mated tramps, having comparatively
little means OF support and, generally,
viii not work even If it 10 offered 10
them, but who seem determined to have
% existence without labor, and who
count upon the destruction Of other peoples
property. II is not reasonable to suppose
that all this destruction is designed and
the work Of bad men. but enough has
slready been demonstrated and proven
that that class Of men have become very
numerous within the last few months on
the west side Of the Rockies, md that
they generally ccnrregate 10 the towns
and will not fcatter out in the country
where work is plenty and living cheap.
On the occasion Of extensive fires in any
town the people become epasmodically
excited and resolve in such and such an
event what they will do, but soon seem
to lose their resolution. and neglect
further attention to Ii cause or causes
which have produced this destruction.
The question then submits itself to the
people Of this coast how much longer
arc We 10 become the sufferers from this
class Of bad men, and they go 9 i this
routine Of crime, without any ,hsek.
Il cannot Be- that the people Of tlis
northwest coast are lacking in courage,
to vindicate and protect themselves.
,gainst these despoilers Of their hard
earned wealth, without becoming so
Sinten,ely aroused as to take the law II
their own hands, where tho law doer
not ferret out these criminals and pun
ish them = they deserve.

A REMARKABLE CONFESSION
PLACES THRBE MEN IN ] JAIL.

ALBANY, Or, July 31.-A remarka
bic confession was made 10 this city
to- day, which reveals beyond question
the identity of three men who wrecked
the train at Lebanon Junction switch on
Sunday night, and has led to the arrest
Of all three on charge Of murder.
On Monday morning after the acct
dent, William A. Hill, who has been
working 10 the harvest field for Thomas
Froman, four miles from this city. at
Froman's station on the Lebanon branch.
called at the Office OF Dr.. W. Fl. Davis
to have dislocatcd arm set. While
under the influence Of chloroform he
talked about the wreck, and said no did
not open the switch, but knew who did,
and would die rather than give them
away.
His mutterings we're at the time sup.
posed to be only rawlings resulting from
chlorform, but on returning to the
doctor t. day to have his arm dressed he
appeared uneasy, and asked the doctor il
he had heard anything about who broke
open the switch.
The doctor said: "Nothing, except
what you told me while under the
influence Ct chloroform."
This frightened him and he made q
clean confession. He said himself. and
two brothers, Fred and Herbert Rolf,
left Albany partially intoxicated tor
Froman's. On passing the Lebanon
switch, the younger Rolf brother stopped
and tried to break the lock on the switch.
Failing to do this he uuscrewcd the bolt
and removed the switch bar.
Hill said be and the older Rolf
endeavored to dissuade him, and went Of
and left him At work. He afterwards
overlook them and showed the bolt taken
cut.
The three men, Hill raid, then went
on to Froman's leaving III. switch open.
A constable went into the country
this afternoon and a. rested tho Rolf
brothers, where they were at work, At q
place indicated by Hill. These two
were brought to this city this evening,
on charge Of murder. They tell con.
dictiug stories, the oldest denying the
story and the youoger saying that they
stopped at the switch and were cracking
haxslnuts with rocks
Hill says his parents live at Astoria.
and the Rolf boys live at Sweet Home.
Hill looks like tramp.
The examination will DO held in
Justice Humphreys court at two o'clock
to morrow. It is expected that the
Southern Pacific Company will send an
attorney from Portland to assist in the
prosecution Of the men.
Much excitement prevails over the
arrest, and railroad employees and others
talk openly Of lyoching the men.

TILE NArIONS LIE.FACToRY

The Senator from Louisiana aflirms that he
inadvertently caused to be printed in The
Record" a speech which he did not make, in
stead Of correction Of a speech which he did
make The explanation comes naturally from
State in which more Democratic votes are
inadvertently cast than there are Democrats
alive; State In which the Government 81 in
advertently'' but always represents only a
minority II the people. But would it not be
we'll as the Nation is about to begin another
century Of its life and thinks Of turning over
new leaf in many things, to consider the
proprety Of stopping the inadvertent publica-
ton Of speeches which were never made, and
of other speeches, which, II made, have no
proper relation TO public business? What good
reason is there for officially publishing false
hood in several great volumes AID OF several
thousand broad pages every year?
II has come to be an official lie, this Rec
ordn Members print in IL, not what they
said, but what they afterward wish they had
said, or what they get leave to falsely pretend
that they said. Leave TO print is leave TO lie.
Leave to correct is leave to deceive somebody.
The vast and growing expense Of that National
sink-hole, the Government Printing Office, is
the expense of keeping up daily issue Of Off
cial falsehood, intended TO deceive constituents
and everybody else who may take any interest
in the doings of Congress. When one mem
Der corrects a speech because It contains bad
grammar he falsely tells his constituents that
he has sort Of ability or knowledge which
he does not possess. When another corrects
remark because of bad taste, or bad temper, or
too much liquid refreshment, he falsely tells
his constituents that he is kind Of gentleman
that he is not. Why should there not be a
direct vote on the continued publication Of
such untluths, so that the country can see
which members find the need Of printing false
hoods in order to keep themselves politically
alive?
The expense OF the National falsehood Is a
great deal larger than most people imagine.
| II is not confined to the cost Of printing, large
as that is. Because The Records is printed
men must make set speeches. The time wasted
by these speeches is not to be computed by the
wages of doorkeepers and clerks, but by the
delay of public business and the consequent
injury to all the Nations interests No meas
ure Of Importance can be passed promptly be-
cause "The RecordD invites TO unlimited ora
tory. Bills and petitions by the thousand are
offered, and clog the wheels Of Government,
because there is a " Recordn which can be sent

EXPANDING POWERS.

Powers not heretofore exercised are coming
into the hands Of the United States Govern
ment. In view of the traditional hostility OF
the Democratic party to Capitalization Of
power" and its long and foolish adherence To
extreme notions Of State rights IT is interesting
to find that party taking the lead, when ii has
the responsibilities OF government, in claiming
for the Government larger and more question
able powers. Thus the House Comm } on
Postal Service unanimously recommended re-
Gently the passage of a bill subjecting any
railroad company to fine of 81, 900 for re-
fusing or neglecting to carry the mails upon
any train on which the Postmaster-General may
require such service. The Democratic Post
master-General had asked this legislation
urging that IL was within the constitutional
power of Congress, and that no other civilized
country withholds similar powers from its Gov
eminent. The Interstate law is another Of the
same nature, and OF Democratic origin. The
measures regarding the prevention Of con-
tagious diseases or diseases Of cattle, the Oleo-
margarine act and many others, go far beyond
the old-time limits of Federal power.
The adoption Of these changes is in effect a
steady revolution in the form of government
Yet it is not to be hastily assumed that in these
cases the change is in the wrong direction. The
Post Office bill, for instance, may not be exact
ly wise in detail or sufficiently guarded in ts
provisions, and yet there are few who viii ques-
ton the right OF the Nation to require the
transportation Of its mails in time of peace or
Of its military forces in time Of war by any
transporting company. The power is necessary
to the public welfare. The people must be
trusted to do justice, and not to exercise the
power unreasonably or tyrannically. for it is
their Government, and surely they can be trust.
ed as safely as any autocrat or any body Of
hereditary rulers. II the public necessity Is
clear, If the power must be lodged with the
National Government for use whenever the
necessity arises then clearly that Government
must also be the sole Judge Of the necessity
The railroads, the transporting companies, the
owners Of cattle, the persons affected by meas
ures for the prevention Of diseases must after
all trust the peoples Government to do Justice
to all the people.
Yet the steady expansion Of the power Of
Government is none the less most important
and significant change, and It is one which
needs to be very closely watched and carefully
restrained as in the case of legislation to re
strict immigration. To surrender popular free
dom on the plea OF public necessity is easier
when the Government is of the people than IN
any other case, and possibly there is for thai
reason the more need Of caution and the NOR,
danger Of abuse. In recent legislative changes
il has been noteworthy that the Democratic
party, which was formerly most jealous Of every
encroachment upon the rights of the people
or Of the States, has been immeasurably thu
