Hearts of Judges.

Ex-Judge Rearden says that all law
yers have hearts of mercy until they
become judges. In the superior court,
during the brief term he served, he al
ways refused criminal cases, because
the mother of the young man was sure
to come around and show the gray hairs
under her aged bonnet. Judge Rearden
says that on two occasions he saw Judge
Levy weaken under the effect of an old
western bonnet trembling with stuffed
roses. The first time was in a case of
grand larceny, and the old lady who
called asked the judge for pass to the
Episcopal home. She said that her SON
Fred had declared his intention to steal
because he couldn't ssget work" and
whatever he had stolen was for her salre
and because he couldn't get work.
why" said Reardon, sswhen the old
woman finished her story, Levy was cry
ing as bitterly as she and the young
criminal went to the house of correction
with the smallest sentence he could get.
Next year the same fellow came up
ON an outrageous charge of robbery, and
the ancient lady turned up as usual with
full set of tears. She shed them free
iy, but the judge was familiar with her
tactics and the young man went over to
San Quentin.
The old lady was very ungrateful,
for she rose in her might end cried:

STATE OFFICIALS.
COUNTY OFFICIALS.

Hon. j. II. Slater, democratic candi-
date for the second Oregon congressional
district has written letter to the
Oregonidn in which he severly scores
that paper for charging him, among
other things, with having, while mem
ber of the United States senate, voted
for free wool. Mr.. Slater takes
pains to; prove that. the charge is
untrue. Mr.. Slater did not vote for free
wool because no such proposition was
before the senate. Technically, there
fore, the charge of the Oregonian is false.
But Mr.. Slater, like an honest man that
he undoubtedly is, is neither ashamed
nor afraid to tell the Oregonian, up to its
teeth, that he wants to go to congress to
vote for free wool Notwithstanding, and
that.if elected, he will certainly vote just
that way and do so inL"the interest of
the wool grower, and also in the interest
of that much larger class, numbering in
Oregon and on this Northwest coast,
fifty to one of the wool growers, who are
clothed and warmed by the manufact-
ures of WOOL" Mr.. Slater proves from
an old speech of his delivered more than
ten years ago, that from ''1825 to
1880 raw wool in general brought higher
prices under the lower than under the
higher tariffs of that period" So out of
affection for the wool grower he wants
wool placed on the free list-because q
low tariff, on his own showing, always
raises the price-and out of similar
affection for the consumer he wants wool
on the free list because he wants cheap
clothing for the fifty to one who don't
raise sheep. According to Mr.. Slater's
logic, therefore, free wool, will, at one
and the same time, raise the price of
wool for the producer and lower it to the
consumer. And further to show that he
is right in line with his party and has
the full courage of his convictions he
adds: Coupled with my vote for free
wool will also advocate and vote for
an ad valorem rate of 35 per
cent. on manufactured Why Mr..
Slater wants to protect the manufacturer
he does not say. According to his treas
ury statistics a tariff always lowers
prices. Is it possible that he thinks the
manufactures does not know what he
wants when he asks for protection and
that he is willing to aceede to his de-
mands because of his affection for the
'hfty to one" who want cheap clothing?
Such supposition might reflect on Mr..
Slater's honest" but it would leave his
logic perfectly consistent and nothing
else in the world can.

" For some time Archie Camill and his

head in her lap. The man never spoke,
but it is clear that when Mrs. Camill
came down stairs he was supporting
himself in the doorway. Rowe cleared
out into the bush, and Mrs. Camill testi-
fled at the inquest that she did not see
him around when she got down stairs,
nor did she speak to him. Her brother
contradicts her on both these points,
and other witnesses heard her speak to
him. The inquest is not completed" "
