JUGGLING WITH JUSTICE.

A stay of execution until April
9th, has been secured by Prender-
gast's attorneys. Why a court
should have seen fit to extend the
time and thus prolong the anxiety
of the culprit and delay the ends
of.justice, is indeed hard to under
stand. The public had hoped that
the murder of Carter Harrison,
would be in a measure atoned for
by the prompt execution of the
murderer. Nearly five months
have elapsed since the cowardly
deed was committed. Everyone
is familiar with the circumstances.
The only possible excuse for such a
dastardly deed would be insanity.
There was no evidence introduced
at the trial indicating that his mind
was effected, and hence there is no
excuse for delay. Society demands
for its protection rigid enforce
ment of the criminal laws. Sym
pathy for the culprit should not
avert the punishment for the crime.
The courts should hold that where
an intentional murder has been
committed, the plea of insanity
should not be admissible as de-
fense. Prendergast had a fair and
impartial trial; was convicted and
sentenced to hang. Too much
time has already elapsed. The
ends of justice might, and should
have been meted out to. him two
months ago.
This Juggling with justice is of
ten resorted to by willy lawyers
through a desire to establish for
themselves a national reputation
as criminal attorneys rather than a
desire to secure justice to clients.
Such seems to be the cause of the
stay in the proceedings of the case
IN question. Dilatory tactics In
the administration of criminal laws
many times lead the people into
taking the law into their own hands
and lynchings are the result To
avoid this, assassins Of the Prem
dergast stripe, should be tried as
speedily 4 s1possil hen con-

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, March 10Th, 1894

WASHINGTON, March 10Th, 1894.
Republican senators who have hers-
tofore conceded the probability of the
ultimate success of the democrats in
passing some sort of tariff bill, now con-
slider that they have at least an even
chance to defeat the bill. Although
the committee has decided that the bill
! shall be reported to the senate this
week, and taken up for consideration
April 2nd-by the way, that date rep
resents substantial victory for the re-
publicans of the committee-it is
known that not single one of the ten
democratic senators who style them
selves conservatives" and are styled
'skickers" by the other democrats, has
promised to support the bill, notwith-
standing the numerous concessions
made to them by the democrats of the
committee, and some Of them will, il is
believed, vote against the entire Dill,
unless they can get it amended to suit
their demands. Instead of the changes
made in the bill by the democrats of
the senate committee-lnost of them
against their will-lesssning the demo-
cratic opposition to the bill, they have
largely increased it. The free traders
have been offended and not single
9kicker' has been propitiated.

ACCORDING to Henry Clews, the
New York banker, the tariff bill
will play the mischief with the
cigar and tobacco manufacturers
as well as the importers and pro-
ducers of leaf tobacco. The bill
reduces the duty on Cigars and
tobacco so per cent, and increases
the internal revenue on cigars from
So to IS per 1000. This cuts at
both ends and gives all the advan-
tage to the foreigners.

THE POSTOFFICE.

Rumors are ahoat that limited
number of persons are becoming
ready for new postmaster in this
city. This is proper thing in its
time, but in these days Of civil service
reform, of which President Cleveland
is the champion, an official who is sat
isfactory to the public is not to be re-
moved until the expiration of his term
|of Office, as WAS the case with Mrs.
Helm, former postmistress in Corval-
lis. At that time the Gazstte en-
dorsed the action of President Harri-
son in sustaining President Cleveland
in civil service reform; nov we suggest
that President Cleveland be consistent
enough to continue his own policy of
Icivil service reform in this case, where
in popular man is about to succeed
one who is rendering ef:cient public
service. As is we'll known, the post
Office fixtures in Corvallis cost between
I$1 600 and $1,000, and are the best o
be had, consequently 1t would work a
hardship to chop off a postmaster's
head every time some other fellow was
out Of job. Let the incumbent serve
out his time, and when his successor
takes possession, may all hands ike
wise keep off, that he may serve tue
public in peace. This is the true
spirit of civil sc, vice reform, which &c
their credit, the democrats have pro
fessed; now let them practice it.
