"CON7ElIPT or URT."

Frldoy's REVIEW contained an
editorial utterancc demanding, on
behalf of the public, that Harry
Bacr, charged with the murder of
one McCrossln, he given fair and
impartial trini, and that he DO
convicted or acquitted, according
to the evidence brought out at
his trial.
For the publication of that tenn
pcrate article the editor OF this
paper has been arrested for con-
tempt OF court. IL 1t be contempt
of court for free press to de
mand fair and impartial trial,
and II verdict strictly In line with
the evidence brought out at the
trial, then is this paper guilty.
Nevertheless, whatever may be
the decision of the judge, of whose
court we are alleged to have been
In contempt, the REVIEW will in
slst upon its rights, and the rights
OF the public, and will continue
In the expression OF such utter.
ances US it knows to be right and
just.
But is 1t not somewhat remarka-
Bile that two attorneys defending a
man guilty Of Staying q fellowmau
and u fellow craftsman, should set
themselves up us the guardian of
the dignity of the court? Is II es.
sentlal that these attorneys should
constitute themselves the con-
scionce-keepers Of the court? Ia not
the court capable Of sustaining that
dignity without tho interference of
these self-constituted defenders?
They evidently think not.
II there is any contempt Of court
in this case, an unprejudiced mind
would seek 1t in the unwarmnted
interference OF these men Grifiitts
and Graves, whoever they may be.
The REVIEW has no fault TO find
with the law upon which these re-
markable proceedings arc based. 1t
Is an excellent law, designed for ex-
traordinary occasions, aud meant ns
a bulwark against attempts upon
the part Of an unscrupulous news
paper to aid in the conviction Of an
innocent man, or to assist the efforts
OF constituencies attorneys to turn
loose upon an outraged community
men known to be guilty of the dark
est crimes.
NO man with the faintest glim-
mering Of Intelligence believes for
moment that either of those emcr-
gencics now conirouts the court.
The statements of unimpeachablc
cyc-witncsscs disclose the fac, that
Baer killed McCpssin, and that he
killed him at II time when his vic
tim was uuarmed and in full rr-
treat. These facts are known TO the
public, and the contrary testimony
of unknown men and hangers.on
about the low dive kept by the de-
lcildnnt will not outweigh those
statements in the Judgment of the
public,
The REVIEW rests its cause with
the law-loving element of this
community. 1t has tried to meet
its duty in tho past, and it will try
TO do the same In tho future. II
has full comprehension Of the
higher duties of Journalism, and IL
win meet those duties, in spite of the
transparent tricks of scll-constituted
gualdians of the dignity of the court.
II TINT be contempt, then 1t Is
guilty.

1t is with a solemn appreciation

liz their affidavit, and echoed in their
remarks before Judge Mount yesterday,
the attorneys who are seeking so spite
fully to tear down the constitutional
rights OF the press draw attention to the
fact that the REVIEW is the most widely
circulated and read newspaper in this
section and that IL goes into every home
in this city. Only the blundering Of
mcdiocrity and the blindness Of passion
can explain this remarkable admission
upon their part. Why, it may be asked,
does the REVIEW fiud its way into nearly
every home, and why are its utteran ces
read and rcspectsd2 because II has won
Its way to the hearts and the confidence
Of the people by its fearlessnoss and its

THERE is a vast difference between a
syringe and syringn. The latter is
the most beautiful Towering shrub that
exists in the wales OF Washington. II
grows in clumps and clusters, and is
crowned all summer long with glorious
wealth of waxen.like blossoms, shaped
after the bloom OF the orange tree, but
twice as large; white rs the snow on the
crest of Mount Carleton, and adorned
with n golden setting IN the center A
valley full of this indigenous shrub, In
full bloom, is worth going many miles

the South, II impresses tho visitor with
the thought that there may be blossom,
and blossom and promise of blossom,
but ne'er fruit. He may coon tire of
tho beautiful picture, and hate the
ii owcry valley as he may have hated an
isle that was mute. But this does not
dctract from tho glory of the syringa as

A GEsrLENAS connected with hank

platter This meat, like most OF the
meat now served in Spokane

necessity of such shipments is not tile

with succuIent bunchgrass, imparting

1T requires close watch upon the part Of
the Western congressman to prevent the
passage OF mischievous measures. The
enabling act providing for the admission
of Washington appropriated hundreds of
thousands OF acres of land for state
schools and other purposes. Now bill
is brought In, the effect of which would
be the prevention of the selection of a
single acre OF those lands, because 1t
would forbid the survey of any landsnot
adapted to agriculture and not actually
occupied. Representative Wilson pointed
out the injurious clause of the measure.
1t is hardly probable that the measure
will be permitted to become u law before
the Objectionable features arc eliminated.

MAsY skeptical people will bo inclined
to discredit tho story OF tho New York
woman physician who claims to have
changed a patients medicine and ei.
iected cure while sound asleep, but
there IL a lawyer In Spokane Falls who
is prepared to believe every word of It,.
on one occasion he had an important
brief to prepare Tor the supreme court,
and his time was limited. lilo was Ad-
dicicd 10 iree indulgence at times in
the flowing bowl, and just n, the time
when he should have devoted q week to
tho preparation of the brief he fell in
with a few convivial friends, aud be-
came oblivious to all duty and rcspon-
sibility until the day before the eSpira-
ton Of tho limit. That morning he en-
tered the office in a sadly demorslizcd
condition and Informed his law partner
1t was imperative that he start by the
next train for tho state capital.
"What for9" his partner inquired
''ro plead for continuance in the
Blank case until We can prepare q
brief"
whats the matter with that other
briei?"
Didn't write it,"
His partner turned to a drawer and
produced a brief in this lawyers own
handwriting which he had found on n
desk in the office three days before, had
1t copied with typewriter and for
warded 1t TO tho supreme court by mail.
II was perfect legal document and won
the case, but the lawyer has not tho re-
motest recollection of preparing IT, If
not confronted with his undeniablc
handwriting he would willingly have
taken his oath that he had not prepared
any brief whatever

YE that have tears to shed prepare to
shed them now. The earth is dying, A
gifted writer in to-day's REVIEW tells
the tale of the awful impending calam-
ity, from both scientific and a sonti-
mental standpoint. His interesting
paper contains such startling disclosures
as these: "The last relic OF its nebua.
the air, will begin to lose one OF its ele-
ments." "The spectator from Venus
and Mars will say that the planet is be-
ing re-illuminated. Not so. II is the
whittier pallor of death. II will reflect
glorious light but pitilcss and cold"
"Nitrogcn will flow on over the surface of
this rnausolean jewell" IL is alarming
and piteous. But tho people who are
now engaged IN tickling the sides of this
future inausoleum, in the hope, from
year to year, that IL may yield the fruits
OF fhusbandry, in abundance, have one
source of consolation. The author OF
this doleful prediction fixes no specific
date for the occurrence of the great
catastrophe. Perhaps 1t may not occur
until after the harvesting of this years
crop.

THE electrical display yesterday was
an unusual spectacle in this country,
and carried many people back in mem
ory to their former homes In the East,
whcro such occurrences arc not unusual.
The telephone and electric light wires
seemed greatly surprised, and actually
trcnbled when the vivid lightning came,
with almost binding force, followed by
6eafening peals Of thunder. There Is
one striking difference between
tho performances of electricity In
the atmos phere In the Pacific
Northwest and in the Middle, Western
and Eastern states. One might have
walked across the street yesterday be-
tween fash of lightning and the sound
of the explosion. There isan advantage
IN this, for scientists all agree that one
need not fear bolt of lightning after he
has heard tile thunder of the explosion.
In this country one has abundant
time between the lightning and the
thunder to reflect that he is glad they
did not come together, since otherwise
he might have been killed.

II any more" was the meek reply, "but,
your honor, you should remember that
you are not now In session." "Pll give
you to understand right here" the JUS

that only an Arkansas justice can as
sumo that this court is always in ses'

THERE are two distinctive classes of
criminals la all the large cities of the
East. One steals II ham or u loaf OF
bread for tho subsistence OF his family,
while he is looking for work, and Is sent
70 jail, branded on the brow as thief
The other steals half a million dollars,
takes the benefit OF the bankruptcy law,
or something OF that sort, moves to an
other state, establishes a bank, dweils In
a mansion, and keeps his horses in
finer house than the man who stole the
loaf of bread or ham even dreamed OF.
He is recognized as II gentleman. There
Is not only distinction between these
two classes of criminals, but also very
wide difference.
