JUSTICE seems to have been get
ting in her work pretty rapidly all
over the country, even if she is blind.
Durrant in California, Mudgett alias
Holmes in Pennsylvania, the two
most cold blooded murderers of mod
ern times, both found guilty of muir
der in the first degree and well started
on their route to the hangman's moose ;
Corbett and Fritzsimmons, the bru-
tai sluggers, driven from Texas and
Arkansas; DR.. Joel. A. Thomas, the
abortionist, formerly of this place,
convicted of manslsughter at Kal-
amazoo, after having repeatedly slip
ped through the meshes of the law;
train robbers being apprehended and
and in fair way to meet their just
deserts; all this indicates that the
way of the transgressor is hard
sometimes. May their road grow
rougher and their path more danger
Gus until the certainty of speedy
and severe punishment shall be
equal to the task of putting needed
salutary restraint upon all men who
are not criminals simply because they
stand in wholesome fear of the conse-
uuences of their wicked acts.

The Gift Of Prophecy.

1t has come to be a truism that a
man is an ass when he tries to proph-
esy concerning the weather; political
prophecy Is nearly as uncertain un-
less based upon definite information,
sound facts and general probabili-
ties. Sweeping claims do not win
battles of the ballots, but the edito-
rial coat of the political pilot of the
Courier has not yet become suffi-
GENTLY shiny at the elbows in edito-
rial labor to teach him the foolhardi-
ness of misleading his sporadic read
ers by groundless claims of the prob
ability of political success. Last
week, just before the elections in
many states, wild claims were made
by our democratic neighbor. Note
how exactly they were verified:
PREDICTIoN-"Campbell is making
one of the most brilliant and ener-
getic campaigns ever conducted in
that state of hot ones,' and his
chances of the election are by no
means bad"
REALITY - Bushnell, republican,
elected by probably 100000 over
Campbell, 10000 more than McKin-
ley's plurality of two years ago, and
the republicans elect two-thirds OF
members of the Legislature.
PREDIcTIoN-"In Iowa the demo
Gratis are much encouraged and will
greatly reduce the republican major
ity if they do not elect their ticket"
REALITY-Drake, republican, was
elected governor by $4,000, with a
big majority in the Legislature and
republicans gains all over the state
PREDICTIoN-"Considerable inter
est is felt in the results in Kentucky
and Maryland, where the republicans
hoped to elect their tickets, but this
will not be likely to occur"
REALITY "A republican governor
and legislature in Kentucky for the
first time in its history, and Maryland
republican by upwards of 10000.
PRED1cT1oN-"The registration in
New York has disappointed both
parties. Through the new registra'
ton act and the new ballot act Of
that state, the republicans will lose
many more votes than the demo-
Gratis"
REALITY-New York is republican
by over $4,000 and great republican
gains are reported all over the state
except in New York City, where
Tammany is on top.
There is one statement in the Cou-
rier's representation that cannot be
gainsaid: 1.-THE elections will indicate
in their results the popular judg'

ment on the party which came into
power on the landslide victories of
last year"
The elections have indicated.
The republican party is perfectly
satisfied with the verdict.
If there was a landslide last year,
the ground has slidden a little
further this year.

carried Mississippi by $4,000 and
that Tammany, with all its corrup-
ton, is again on top in New York

The pleasantest feature of the
whole victory to the republicans, is,
perhaps, the fact that republican
successors will be chosen to Senator
Blackburn in Kentucky, Senator
Gibson in Maryland, Senator Hill in

Ohio, and also two new republican
senators in Utah. The republican
party is in excellent shape for '96.

LEGALLY IN POSSESSION.

Omaha, August 10.-rhe district court
this afternoon rendered decision in the
Omaha police commission contest.
The court holds that the old board is
legally In possession and entitled to MAIN
tPin ITS possession until further legal pro-
ceedings may show it is not properly In
power. The court, however, refuses to
make a permanent Injunction restraining
the A. p. A. police commission from
performing its function.
The decision Is compromise. The i'm
portant part Of the decision is as follows:
I'm the light of these decisions defend
ants appointed as fire and police COM
missioners under the law Of 1895, now in
force must be held to have apparent
right and to be entitled prima facie to the
office in question. Such being the case.
9. court of equity will not restrain them
from claiming such Offices or from pro-
ceeding in a lawful manner to obtain
peaceable possession thereof. Notwith-
standing the views herein stated, as to
the rights of the defendants to the pos
session of tn offices In question, yet
plaintiffs have the right to remain peace
ably in possession and to exercise the
functions of said offices until otherwise
ordered in proper legal proceedlng.p
The regular police commission will re-
main in power until the supreme court
decides the matter Many memberg Of
the A. p. A. have asserted that will row
take possession through force, though no
demand has yet been made by the A.

erty are the old commission.

NO SATISFACTORY RESULT

Yesterday afternoon there was consider
able excitement along the water front
over the prospect of a good race and an
exciting finish between the Telephone ana
Potter. Large crowds of people took up
positions on Flavel's dock long before
there was any possibility of either boat
being in sight, and tried in vain, many
Of them with binoculars and telescopes
to see through the thick fog and smoke
that hung all over the Washington side
OF the river. At about 8 O'Clock 1t be-
came generally known that kilograms
had been received here to the effect that
the Telephone had left Portland several
minutes before 1 o'clock, and that the
Potter had been late in getting away.
The affair thus resolved Itself into a
matter of time, and as all idea of both
poats tearing along past the docks side
py side became impossible, people began
to pull out their watches and speculate
about the time limit The Telephone
started from her Portland dock at fifteen
minutes ahead Of her advertised time, at
exactly 1915, leaving about eighty people
behind on the wharf, though she GER
tainly had room to accommodate most
If not all of them. BY agreement with
the men who operate the irawbrdges
both the arches were opened for her as
she pulled out into the stream, and with
out sounding any whistles started down
the Willamette at a splendid pace. The
Potter left her wharf at 1:13, 2S minutes
after her rival, and lost no time in get
[ ting under way. Both steamers were well
| loaded with passengers, the o. r. and NJ
hou fnl llxy oINa
tains Edwards and McDermott the gov-
ernment inspectors, were aboard the
Telephone and Potter respectively.
AS soon as the Telephone docked at
| this city It was discovered that she had
made a landing at Morgans wharf at
the mouth OF the willamette river, and
had waited there for some minutes. Judge
Cleveland, who was a passenger declares
that she was tied up for four minutes and
81 seconds. Mr.. II. d. Mcclure says she
was there IA minutes. Several of the
passengers claim that she only stayed
for three minutes Captain Larklns gives
the time as five minutes exactly. On the
stoppage the whole result of the race
hinges, and the fact that 1t does so makes
the outcome of the contest most ull-
satisfactory one for all parties. In actual
time the Potter gained three minutes on
the Telephone between Portland and As
toria. If Mr.. G. w Baker and Mr.. Ar
thur Holmes two of the passengers on :
the Telephone are correct in their three
minute estimate OF the stoppage at Nor
gau's then the race was dead heat. If
Judge Cleveland Is correct then the Tele-
phone won by one minute and thirty-sev-
en- seconds. If Captain Larkins and Mr..
Mcclure are right, then the Telephone

DELAY IS DANGEROUS.
A Much Needed Street Improvement is
Asked For.

Upon learning of the accident to Off
Ger SlnDotts child yesterday afternoon,
in falling through a hole In the roadway
on 18th street, between Exchange and
Franklin Avenue, an Historian representa-
tive called upon Councilman Scherneckau
and inquired what effort, II any had
been made for the Improvement Of 18th
street, what its condition Is, and what is
necessary to put 1t in good order.
Mr.. s;oherneckau states that the present
roadway Is a private one, maintained for
years by Mr. Z,gler, one of the residents
Of the neighborhood, and who recently
closed II to vehicles because OF Its bad
condition, as 1t Is beyond repair. He says
that several efforts have been made TO
have an ordinance passed through the.
council to improve this street. The meas
IRE has always been Killed by the OBJ
structlonlsts. Thirty families are abso-
lutely dependent upon this street for ac-
cess to their homes and are today abso-
lutely beyond protection from fire, and
can have no goods delivered by team to
their houses Public opinion seems to
have been awakened to the fact that the
Improvement OF 18th street has become a
necessity. 1t Is nearly always the case
that severe lesson through the loss of
life, or some such serious accident, Is
drst necessary before such mantraps can
be abated and necessary improvements

might have lost her llfe-that she did not

only is there danger to life and limb
from the present condition Df this street,

SETTLERS ESCAPE CUT OFF

Olympia, August 19.--Only meagre de-
tails have been received from the burn
ing distrist south and west Of here. The
wires went down yesterday and the only
method of communication was by mes
sengar. The c!:y is covered by d.nss
smoke, and a shower of fine asnes Is
falling continuously. Thus far the only
deaths reported are Lars Peterson ana
Thos White, who were riding on the log
ging train near Sheldon. The train went
through burning trestle but the engineer
and fireman escaped. Peterson and White
were burned in the wreck.
Simpsons logging camp burned out com
pletely and the heavy draft horses were
saved only by heroic efforts of the men
who rode them through the flames. The
men saved their clothing and personal
property by digging trenches. All the
digging railroads are blocked by Telling
timber. Heavy winds famed the fire
through the dry timber till the roaring OF
the flames was heard a long distance and
the quick successive falling of giant
trees resembled the noise of a battle.
AT Summit, Is miles west of here sew
eral ranches were destroyed and there Is
fear for the safety of some Of the set
tiers whose escape by the road is cut
off, Millions Of feet of valuable timber
are lost.

MUHrNoMAH WINS.

Portland, Or, August 1O-By winning
today's game with the Portland Amateur
Athletic Club, the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club has won the championship
of the Pacific Northwest baseball league
for the season of 1885, The score today
was Multnomah Q, Portlans 4.
The intense rivaly between the clubs
drew crowd Of 5000 people to witness
the game and the crowd was not dlsap,
pointed, even If the game was a one
sided affair after the first inning. The
"rooting" of the Multnomahs was the
most boisterous ever heard on a Portland
ball field, and chief speller BILLY" Law
made good leader.
In the first inning the MuItnomah's s
made three runs and the Portlands were
never able to touch them. The Multno-
mahs outbatted their opponents at all
stages of the game. Fleming was very
effective in the box for the Multnomahs
while Fennimore was hit hard. The out
fielding of both clubs was poor.

to say nothing Of the Inconvenience in the
affairs Of every day life.
An ordinance was proposed about a year
ago, but was defeated in the council. The
property owners who live In the neigh
borhood are willing and anxious to make
the Improvement, but the holders OF un-
improved lots have stood in the way Of
the passage of the ordinance.
The only remedy is for the council to
stand together and by two-thirda vote
insure the passage Of the ordinance.
Thirty families are depending on the mat
ter and 1t Is only justice that their rights
should be respected, and that the street
for these two blocks should be improved.
Streets in other portions Of the town,
where the necessities were not so great.
perhaps, have recently been improved at
great expense, while 1t Is stated that this
Improvement will cost comparatively lit
tie money.
In the interest of safety to life and limb
and in recognition Of the rights OF tax
payers who live in the vicinity, It would
seem that early action should be had In
the matter.
