SPEEDY JUSTICE.

Probably no more atrocious crime
has ever been committed in this eouH.
try than the killing of Benjamin F.
Pietzel and his three children by DIR.
Henry 81. Holmes, nor has cooler
criminal ever appeared before bar Of
justice than this red-handed assassin.
All through the trial, while the most
damaging evidence was being related,
he sat like stole, unmoved and un.
touched even by the story of the wife
and mother of his victims, as she told
of her last meeting with her husband
and of viewing the cold bodies OF her
little girls as they lay ON marble slab
in the morgue.
Such indifference as Holmes dis
played would have condemned him
had the evidence been less convincing,
and it is little wonder that the staid
people OF Philadelphia remarked ''it
is WE'LL" when the verdict of the jury
was rendered. The courts of Penn
sylvania have done themselves credit
in thus speedily bringing this human
fiend to speedy trial and more speedy
conviction. 1t will serve as warning
to other depraved characters. that
however well they may conceal their
crimes, they will be found out, and al
though positive proof of their guilt
may not be readily established, pub
Lie condemnation is 80 strong against
them that justice will prevail.

GOOD BUT INCONSISTENT!

The Oregonian yesterday in map
ping out plan for the Republican
campaign in Oregon next year, and
suggesting means by which that
party could regain the confidence OF
the voters of the state, made this sug-
gestion:
"Oregon must be assured and con-
vinced that Republican ascendency in
state and local affairs will stand as a
pledge of economical administration,
will assure reduction of public expen-
ditures in every direction and to the
lowest possible basis of practical econ
ny, and will give the people relief
from the excessive burdens of present
taxation. Let the Republican cam
paign In Oregon next spring stand for
these things, and there will be no dis
sension in the party and no difficulty
In obtaining for the party's candidates
the approval of the people,"
Such declarations of principles
would no doubt catch votes were it not
for the fact that the extravagances Of
the last legislature, for which the Re-
publican party is wholly responsible,
are yet fresh in the memories of the
people OF Oregon.

LEI THEM REST.

The dispatches announce that r. C.
White will again endeavor to put his
play, 1.-THE Crime of the Century, or
the Demon of the Belfry," on The
boards in San Francisco. The play is
q reproduction of the horrors of the
murder of Blanche Lamont, and is in
accordance with the evidence pro-
duced at the recent trial of Durrant
with all the realistic scenes supposed
to have been enacted in that bloodiest
of bloody tragedies
The play is certainly not calculated
to advance morality or promote refine
ment, but on the contrary to satisfy
the morbid desire for something sensa-
tional. 1t should not meet with en-.
scouragement from she better class OF
theater. goers. in fact it should meet
with such lack Of patronage that its
production would be Improbable. In
the absence of any law to prevent this
play from being acted in the theaters,
public sentiment should be SO strong
against it that both the author and the
manager who attempts to bring it out
would be content to let Blanche La
mont sfumber peacefully in her grave

style. Mr.. McMasters cites the we'll
known historical precedents against a
presidential third term, and thinks
there is no reason to believe that the
old-time antipathy to third term is
one whit less strong than it ever was.
Mr.. McMasters says that while in the
ory our practice OF choosing presidents,
not because OF their fitness,
but because of their availa-
bility, is all wrong, in practice
no harm comes from it; for under our
system of government we do not need
a president of extraordinary ability;
the average man is good enough, and
for him two terms is ample. What we
want, in Mr.. McMaster's opinion, is a
strong government of the people by
the people, not d government of the
people by strong man, and we ought
not to tolerate anything which has
even the semblance OF heredity. Mr..
McMasters counsels the advocates of
third term for Mr.. Cleveland to remem-
Der the doctrine of the illustrious
founder of their party, that "ln no
Office can rotation be made expedient. i"

AN UNFOUNDED PREJUDICE

In conversation with gentleman
from the upper country the other day,
we were told that "The Dalles might
some day become great city if her
business men and capitalists were not
lot of selfish 'mossbacks,' whose
greed for personal gain predominated
over all things else. and who desired
to build up The Dalles at the expense
of the entire Inland Empire"
This criticism to us appears most
unjust and entirely without founda.
ton, and as acts speak louder than
words, we believe anyone who will lay
aside his prejudices and candidly con.
slider what the business men and cap
italists of The Dalles have done for
the surrounding country, will agree
with US that instead of being 'moss.
backs" they are about as philantropic
and enterprising men as are found
anywhere in the northwest. Let us
look backward and see what they have
done. When few years ago the en-
tire country east of the Cascades was
paying high freight rates, the people
of this city took steps to better their
condition by inaugurating an enter
prise through which rates might be
reduced. The result was the organiza-
tion of the d. P. & A. N Co., and put
ting on line of boats between this
place and Portland. In consequence
OF this freight rates have been greatly
reduced. This has not only been of
benefit to the men who put their
money into the enterprise, but every
shipper of wool, wheat, fruit or live
stock has been benefited proportion
ately. Was it entirely selfish motive
that prompted The Dalles to take the
initiative in this move? Can the men
who put their money into the D. P. &
A N. Co., justly be called "mossbacks"
for establishing transportation line
that has within two years saved the
farmers and stock raisers Of Wasco.
Sherman, Gillian and Crook co lnties
quarter million dollars? And when.
ever the people ofany adjacent section
have asked for aid from The Dalles to
make any needed improvement it has
always been forthcoming. Only a
short time ago our neighbors over in
Sherman county felt that they were
paying exorbitant freight rates over
the o. R. & N. line, and asked The
Dalles for assistance to build free
wagon road leading to this place. The
call for help was met at once and $500
were subscribed. We might go on in
definitely enumerating like instances
OF enterprise and generosity shown by
our people, but it Is unnecessary.
Candid people cannot justly maintain
the proposition that The Dalles busi-
ness men are not literally inclined to-
ward all adjacent localities.

FOR AN OPEN RIVER.

From today's Arlington Record we
take the following report of meeting
held in that city looking toward an
open river from the upper country to
The Dalles:
IA meeting was held in Arlington
last Thursday that is of more than
passing interest to our citizens and
may be far reaching in its results. The
object was for opening a river line
from here to The Dalles. Among
those present were W. j. Mariner,
county judge; Jas. W. Smith, W. w.
Westherford, F. T. Hurlburt, S. G..
Hswson, G. S. Wenner, r. C. Robin
son, L. C. Edwards and a number of
other prominent citizens of our
county; also Clay Myers, Of Blalock,
and John A. Smith, of Sherman county.
Mr.. Mariner was chosen chairman and
B. 6. Hawson secretary. After discus
sing the benefits to be derived from
river transportation, in reduced rates
and otherwise, it was decided to ap-
point committee to ascertain the ap-
proximate cost of a portage around the
obstructions at Cello. BY vote of the
house the following committee was ap-
pointed: ]. T. Hurlburt, Arlington;
w. ]. Mariner and Clay Myers, Bla.
lock-; and John A. Smith, Sherman
county,"

further that if this war ls not brought

"The Weekly has already pointed

1t needs only to be added that with a

the expenditures by more than S3.0O0,-

our industries are being 'annibilated,
