The charge Of murder against Robert
Mcdonald. who Is accused OF killing Hay
den. at Pennington, may have to be dis
missed Il seems that boy who testi-
fed most positively as to the identity OF
Mcdonald. now admits that ne lied and
himself. Instead OF dismissing the charge
the trial should be postponed until Hutch,
the boy. has been indicted and tried for
perjury. Other evidence against McDon-
aid might be found sufficIen. to secure
convlction. We admit there are difficult
ties. but II seems infamous that Justice
should be defeated in this way.

I, might have been expected that the

He preferred 20 bow down 70 the viii

So, at the behest Of a political con-
vention, tha governor rebukes the SUI

say something about obeying the man
date Of the people. Yet what a howl
would have been raised by those same
virtuous Populists IL a Republican con-
vention had ever dared to ask a Re-
publican governor TO interfere with a
decision Of the supreme court.
The governor has received praise for
the dignity with which he has filed
the office, contrary to general expecta-
ton, and has shown some sensitiveness
as to his own prerogetives: but his
act in turning loose tha foul
mouthed blatherskites who were suffer-
Ing nerited punishment for their Of
lenses, shows that he does not act upon
general principles Of honor. but only
with an eye 10 his own selfish interests.

doubtless after he shall have died m.sera-

living amid his unhappy surroundings and
induce a generous public to become In

10 the class OF Americans known as

The victory In the Webfoot state must

and the result Is in a certain sense a
test Of the popularity of the war and an
emphatic Endorsement OF the presidents

The extent and significance of the
victory VIII be more fully appreciated
when It Is remembered that, after a
magnificent Republican fight. the state
In 1896 was carried by Mckinley by

by a plurality of 500. the vote being:

Republicans have FOR great many
years been a minority party in Oregon.
