LAST week the republican league convention at Cleveland, took the safe and moderate ground that the object of the league is ue consolidate the party for work along the lines to be laid down by the national conyen- tion next year, and not to dictate to that body.

THE LAW OF LInEL.

posed as penalty has drawn no little comment from the press, and in some instances there has been coupled herewith demand for revision of the Arizona libel law on the ground that it is barbarous, severe and be- hind the spirit of the age. This de- mand and assertion first appeared in several territorial newspapers of the blackmailing type which would be ''done upr were the law against libel strictly enforced, and has been thoughtlessly approved by some of the better class of journals.
 As fact the law for libel in Arizo- na is no different from that in the most liberal of the states. In this territory the fair and honest journal ist has the same constitutional and legal safeguards as in New York, Pennsylvania or California, and the dishonest blackmailer is subject to the same pains and penalties. What more can an honest journalist want? Under the Arizona law THE OASIS will undertake Should there be any need to show up wrong of any sort, and the wrong doer cannot screen himself behind the law of libel and use that enactment as club to silence criticism. But the newspaper which uses indiscriminate abuse with the object of mulcting meritorious measures and citizens will always skate close to criminal prosecution and conviction. To make that kind of work safer and easier is the object of those why decry the law against libel as framed at present.
 The writer has overheard several commenting upon the conviction of Dunbar, and the victory of the Star over Meade in civil suit for damages in libel in the same court, as an indi- yidious distinction-with the implica- tion that both answering to the same charge both should have.been subject ed to the same punishment. In the first place the suits were different. One was a criminal prosecution-the other a suit for damages. In both cases the verdict was adverse to the defendant; in one the judge affixed the penalty, anc he very evidently thought that it was worth to Mr. Dunbar about Sl, ,000 for applying the epithets thieves, thugs and assas- sins to Governor Hughes, Secretary Bruce, Marshal Meade and Attorney General Heney; while in the other the jury awarded the damages and very evidently concluded that Marshal Meade had been damaged one dollars worth by the accusation in Governor Hughes newspaper that he was an owner in the Saturday Review ia newspaper at Ph9nixl. Why Meade should have felt aggrieved at such an accusation is somewhat strange, be- cause the Review is quite credit able newspaper, and man should feel complimented at bring named in connection therewith.
 Although not akin to the topic of this article it is hardly complete with out an allusion to the kaleidoscOpic changes in democratic politics in Arizona manifested in the two suits for libel which were tried at Tucson last week-in consecutive succession. In one Hughes, Bruce, Meade and Heney were banded together to cinch Dunbar, while in the other Meade was endeayoring to cinch Hughes, with Heney, Meade and Bruce in sympathy with the prosecution, while Dunbar's sympathies, if at all in ope- ration. were extended toward Huphes

the trial of Paul p. Lawson held
in Challis at the recent term of
the District Court, would occupy
a great amount of time and space,
consequently we can give only a
brief outline of the affair.
District Court convened in
Challis ON Monday, June 3rd,
and the case of the State of Ida
ho VS.. Paul P. Lawson was talk
en- in consideration by District
Attorney Rogers, who viewed it
carefully and brought the case
before the Court charging Paul
p. Lawson with the murder of
George w. Watson, at Houston,
Idaho, on May 18th. 1895. The
attorneys for the defense, Messrs
Reeves, Sharp and later, Bruner,
asked for change of venue, on
account, they claimed a fair trial
could not be had in Custer county
owing the prejudice existing
against the defendant; also that
the article in the MESSENGER in
regard to the killing of Watson
was based ON false statements,
which helped to mould public
Iopinion against said defendant,
! (but the trial brought out the
facts and showed that the Mes
SENGER was not mistaken; only
that we gave the facts in mild
form.) The change of venue
was not granted, as the grounds
} for such change were insufficient.
Judge Stockslager at once order
ed an open venire for So trial
jurors be issued and set the trial
for Friday morning, May z, but
it was postponed until the next
day. Sheriff Hosford, the Judge
and all concerned wanted to see
the defendant get fair trial, SO
35 men from Pahsimari, Bay
horse, Ramshorn, East Fork,
Clayton, Redbird mine, Bonanza,
Custer and Challis were brought
here as jurors. That Lawson
got fair trial no one doubts.
To be sure he got the full extent
of the law, but no honest jury in
this or any other county could
have rendered different verdict
after hearing all the evidence.
On Saturday the entire day was
consumed in procuring a jury,
and the following well-known
Custer county men were select
ed: A. @. Bomar, John Dudley,
W. G. Sweet, Jas. Maverty, Geo.
Kirk, Mart Newcomb, Dan Os-
good, Dick. Fitzgerald, Thomas
Mollart, John Cleary, Dan Sui
livan, Chas. Small.
On Monday morning, the 10th,
the trial commenced, and great
interest was taken until the close
at midnight on the 18th. The
town has been crowded with
people interested in this case,
mostly from Lost river, for near
ly two weeks. Norman M.
: Ruick and District Attorney Rog-
ers appeared for the prosecution,
and w. t. Reeves, P. M. Bruner
and Col. Sharp were for the de-
fense. Court was held night
and day in order to get through
with the case, as there were
nearly forty Witnesses. The
main witnesses for the prose
cution were: Mrs. Boone and son.
Charlie, who testified that they
had prevented, in their own
house, Lawson from killing Wat
son twice as Watson was passing
the window and Lawson was in
side with his shotgun which ap-
pears was his companion. 9th
er witnesses for the prosecution
were Archie Howell, Mr.. and
Mrs. Kent and son, Mr.. and Mrs.

Every Republican paper in
the state is making very promi-
nent mention of the fact that P.
p. Lawson, who recently muir
dered a man in Custer county,
was Populist, and now the
Lemhi Republic heads a news
item: "a Purifier Gone Wrong. ="
Men who stoop to this kind of
work are contemplate fools, and
show a total absence of brains
with which 10 make an argument
against the Populists or anybody
else. A criminal is a criminal
regardless of his politics, relig-
ion or anything else, and should
be so treated, and there is nc
newspaper on the earth, but so
called Republican organs, that
attempt in a cowardly, contemp-
tible, underhanded insinuation to
hold a political party responsible
for the crimes of its individual
members. We will wager the
Republic 1000 pounds of paper
that poll of the Boise peniten-
tiary will show five Republicans
to one Populist, as inmates OF
that institution. If you don't
like the Populists, fight US. but
it is records of crime which you
propose to make your fight, cut
her loose.-Pocatello Advance.
At the time 2. P. Lawson rep
resented Custer county in the
Idaho legislature he was claimed
to be Populist, and elected by
I
that party, but on the 18th day
of last month when he murdered
George Watson, he was a Repub-
lican. Last fall Lawson severed
his connection with the Populisi
party and landed in the Republi-
can party, and when the Republi-
can County Convention was held
in Challis last fall, Lawson s
name was presented in said con.
vention by Bird LOTUS (the
Andrew Jackson of Idaho), for
Representative. These are the
facts in the case, and if the Re-
publican papers can gain any
political points out of these facts
they are entitled to them. II
matters not to US to what party
Lawson affiliated. he committed
one of the most horrible murders
on record and is sentenced to
meet his own doom on the gal.
lows. Whether he was a Re-
publican, Democrat or Populist
it makes no difference, for the
party to which he belongs is not
in any manner responsible, and
any paper that stoops as low as
the Lemhi Republic has in this
matter is beneath notice.
