THAT CASE OF ALLEGED GUILTY.
Portland, Novsm bel 18th, 1S9
To the Editor Of the Press:


To the Editor Of the Press:
Your issue OF this NOR ming did me
sonew hat OF an injustice, as there never
was an eye witness who ever saw a one
horse team belonging to me, hauling a
l nd up Congress street hill, as theatrical
contracts call for two horse loads. Agnin
there were no eye witnesses who saw my
horse struggle for an hour. Had 1t been
SO, ] think the residents did not do their
duty to man or least, for any one who
would haul horse an hour on Congress
street hill ought to be strung up without
regard to judge or jury. Now none Of
the witnesses summoned against me, and
they were all good, Influential men, testi-
fed / had on over twenty-five hundred
pounds for two horses, and instead of my
team being stuck for an hour, the oar
that the load came in was not placed
where we could get at it until about
eleven O'Clock. We loaded 10 and got 1t
to Its destination and unloadsd at eleven
ffty-fvs, SO we could not have been an
hour ON the hill No testimony, as I re-
member, that my team wss stuck. and
II ompiaint had been made of all teams
that were stuck on that day, the oourt
room would have been full to overflow
ing The only evidence against me was
my team had OH a heavy load. $500 lbs.
for pair Of horses that weigh S7C0 lbs. +,
and that my driver stopped three or four
times to wind his horsss. Now As 1t IL
my insu uction to all who drive for me
to stop their horses two or three times
going up the hill loaded, think he did
right by doing so, and l failed to see
where any witness thought he abused the
horsss with whip or club. Now with re-
gard to my hauling 2500 lbs. with pair
Of 27D0 ID. horses. Go to almost any coal
office on Commercial street and look at
their books. and think you will find
records Of more than one load Of from
1000 to $500 lbs. for one horse teams that
went to worse places than Congress street
hill. Now do not want my horses over
loaded, and under no consideration do
want them licked. I will consider it more
than q personal favor II any of my men
doing either are reported to me. as /
always want the verdict the same as In
this case. mot Guilty"
Yours truly,
ADkLBERT BAKER.

Goetel now makes the astounding de-
mend that the vote OF the big city of
Lousvill lie be thrown out OH the ground
that the voters were intimidatej by the
militia called out by Gov. Bradley to pre-
servs order and prevent riot. There was
no l aim at the time that these troops had
IN any way interie,ed with the election.
Indeed the act OF Gov. Bradley In order
ing them cut as a precautionary measure
was generally commended. No claim was
eve, made that they intimidatei any body
except thugs and asssssins bent on
murder. until Goebel found 1t impossible
to set rIe.exts for throwing out enough

A Valuable Dog.

A dog which earns a salary of
$3.50 week may certainly claim to be
the star" performer of the canine
world. There is a shaggy mongTel,
whose income of $4,000 a year has
been regularly earned for the last two
years in this country. He does all the
usual dog tricks, jumping through
hoops and over ropes, rolling barrel,
and, as a novelty. he does a cake
walk in the well-known manner of the
negro performer. keeping step to the
music but the feat which commands
such enormous terms is a dive into a
net from a platform seventy-five feet
above it. The animal has to judge the
exact angle at which he must jump so
as to fall into the net. He makes his
leap at the word of command, turning
several somersaults in the course of his
descent. In order to get to the elevated
platform the dog climbs a ladder step
by step without any assistance from his
trainer.

to the Importance of the task let us
not be misled by vain-glory into under
estimating the strain it will put on our
powers. Above ALL let us, as we value
our own self-respeot, face the responsi-
bil-ties with proper seriousness. courage
and high resolve.
In the West Indies and the Philin-
plies alike we are confronted nv most
difficult problems. 1t is cowarllv TO
shrink from solving them in the nroner
way; for solved they must be if not
by US, then by some stronger and more
manful race; if we are too weak too
selfish or too foolish to solve them
some bolder and abler neonla muct
undertake the solution. Personauv T
am far too firm a believer in the great
ness of my country and the power of
my countrymen to admit for one mo-
ment that we shall ever be driven 10
the ignoble alternatives.
Ihe problems are different for the
different islands. Porto Rico is NOT
| large enough to stand alone. We musf
govern it wisely and we'll. primarily in
the interest of it's own people. Cuba
is, in my judgment, entitled ultimately
to settle for itself whether it shall he
an independent State or an integral
portion of the mightiest of republics
But until order and stable liberty are
secured, we must remain in the island
to insure them; and infinite tact iudg-
ment, moderation and courage must be
shown by our military and civil repre-
sentatives in keeping the island naci-
fled, in relentlessly stamping out bri-
gandage, in protecting all alike. and
yet in showing proper recognition to
the men who fought for Cuban liberty
1.-THE Philippines offer yet graver
problem. Their population includes
half-caste and native Christians, war
like Moslems, and wild pagans. Many
of their people are utterly unfit for self
government and show no signs of be-
coming fit. Others may in time become
fit, but at present can only take part
in self-government under a wise super
vision at once firm and beneficent. We
have driven Spanish tyranny from the
islands. If we now let it be replaced
by a savage anarchy our work has been
for harm, and not for good. / have
scant patience with those who tear to
undertake the task of governing the
Philippines, and who openly avow that
they do fear to undertake it, or that
they shrink from it because of the ex-
pense and trouble; but 1 have even
scanter patience with those who make
a pretense of humanitarianism to hide
and cover their timidity. and who cant
about liberty and the consent of the
governed in order to excuse them
selves for their unwillingness to play
the part of men. Their doctrines. If
carried out, would make it incumbent
upon us TO leave the Apaches of Ari-
zona to work out their own salvation,
and to decline to interfere in a single
Indian reservation Their doctrines

ever having settled in these United
States.

A Reply to Vegetarians.

An amiable and somewhat plausible
argument is made by vegetarfans, pro-
ncurcing it unkind to kill animals for
food, charging that the practice breeds
cruelty in men and that a perfect civili-
zation could not tolerate butchers. In
answer to this contention Sir Henry
Thompson replies: ''The breeding OF
animals for food confers life on millions
of beings, possessing considerable ca
pacity for enjoyment in their own way
on the best conditions attainable-su-
perior in point of comfort, freedom
from pain and accidents to those Of the
wild breeds He confers a life, brief,
perhaps, but one well protected. And
when the last hour has come, happily
Unforeseen and unsuspected, without the
dread it brings to man, the stroke
should fall instantaneously and without
pain. This can be secured-is merely a
question of poise. Could it be conceived
that but once human dread We're Wis
ible in the eyes of a steer, not the
coarsest butcher could finish the stroke?
And when all possible skill and care is
employed the trade of the butcher will
not be more Objectionable than that of
the surgeon, whom we shall always
have with u.s.

NasaIogy.

People are always turning up with
a new means of discerning ones char
acter. Now it is from the tread" of
ones shoes, now from the shape of the
fingers or the teeth. to say nothing, of
course, of palmistry, grapnology and
physiognomy. The very latest charac-
ter reader is the nasologist. He tests
your taste in scent. You sniff half a
dozen sweet odors and whichever one
pleases you best decides your character.
The study of this new method ought to
prove a pleasant little amusement to
women. Only one fears that willy wo-
man would soon learn that in public it
is unwise to express fancy for certain
perfumes. One cannot help the possess
sion of a nose of this or that shape, or
alter ones caligraphy of the lines of
ones hand, but it is possible to keep
ones taste in sweet odors to ones self,
essi so literally throw nasoiogists '.off
the scent"
