Jas. Lotan and Seid Back, the
two men who were recently con.
victed on the charge of conspiracy
to smuggle opium and Chinese in.
to the United States, were sentenced
by Judge Bellinger last Friday.
Lotan, who was collector of the
port at the time the crimes were
committed was fined $4,000 and
Seid Back $1,000. Lotan went at
once to the clerk of the court and
deposited his check for the full
amount of the fine, and walked out
OF the house a free man. Seid
Back did not have enough cash
about him and the payment of his
hne was delayed. 1t was, no doubt
a good speculation on I.otan's S part
His share of the profits of the
illegal transactions will probably
equal his fine, and his recent court
experiences will peculiarly fit him
for Portland politics. We would
not be surprised 10 SEE him presi-
dent of the next state senate in the
place of Joe Simon.

Mr.. Glenn King tells a good story
on Couer d 'Aleue Indian. When
the Indians on that reservation
were paid off by the government
recently some Of them received
large sums of money, as much as
$4,000. They naturally spent
money freely, particularly for fine
buggies and carriages, and there
was much rivalry among them to
see who could sport the finest turn
out. One old Indian could not
find any buggy fine enough and so
he purchased a fine hearse, with
nodding plumes, glass panels, etc.
Proud as a king he drove up and
down the streets showing off his fine
rig, and causing the other Indians
to turn green with envy.

The Salem journal says there
was a bill of S676,5o for making

Ihe steps OF Justice seems to lag
wonderfully in some places. In
South Dakota the state treasurer
stole all the money belonging to
the state, and now he has been rus-
ticating at the high-toned summer
resorts while the courts are trying
to get cinch on him. If it had
been horse or even a loaf of bread
stolen, the thieves would have been
sent to the penitentiary long ago.

The annual national reunion of
the G. A. K. is now in session at
Louisville = Kentucky. This is the
first reunion of this organization
held south of Mason & Dixon's
line. The boys who wore the blue
are receiving the grandest welcome
that they have ever received, and a
great part of it comes from the bows
who wore the gray. This meeting
OF the participants in the greatest
civil strife the world has ever
known is marked by the utmost
good feeling and harmony. It
teaches in an unmistakable way
that there is no north nor no south,
but that in the eyes of those who
bore the brunt of battle on both
sides, there is one nation and one
flag. The time has come after
many years when the hatred,
malice and envy engendered by the
strife has about all passed away,
and yet its lessons of duty to
country and of patriotism are as
bright as ever.
