RUSSIAN PRACTICE.

After having made a gallant defense
of Port Arthur; after sacrificing thou
sands of brave lives and thousands OF
dollars; making one of the grandest
defenses in modern warfare, against
great odds and fighting until they were
completely exhausted. out Of ammuni-
ton. with determination to die in the
last ditch, General Stoessel must go to
st. Petersburg and be court -martialed
for his bravery. This is the way the
square heads Of this effete empire OF
cowardly ours reward bravery. There
is only one class of peopel in Russia
whose lives are considered Of any val
ue, and that is the most worthless class
that infest the empire, the czar and his
paid hirelings. who think no more Of a
mans life than they do of the ven-
emous viper that crawls the earth. The
best thing the inhabitants of Russia
can do. is to stop fighting the Japs
and organize for a final onslaught on
the czar and the royal family and wipe
every vestage of them off the face of
the earth. The men who fought at Port
he earth. The men who fought at Port
Arthur are heroes. The czar and his
retinue are towards, and change in
the form of the Russian government
will be an advance along the lines of
civilization. No nation on the earth
has any respect for government who
Furnishes its heroes for bravery and
considers the life of a brave soldier
no more than fly speck on the walls
of prison.
Russia is the most cruel and barbar-
Gus nation in the world. 1t is this
that antagonized every country against
them, except Germany and France, who
were loaning them money to carry on
the war. They do not care for their
paupers and insane, either in the old
country or this and they are a burden
" NNNAy nc DCbtNl
ment Of Russians, those who refuse to
stand the edicts Of tyrany, have emf
grated to the United States. where
they become good citizens, the same as
every liberty-loving man does who
comes under the hallowed influence Of
a government that meets out equal and
exact justice to all irrespective of
race, color or previous condition of
servitude. The orders issued for Cen
eral Stoessel to return home and re-
port for court-martial are in keeping
with the barbaric customs Of an un-
civilized race, and will be denounced
by every liberty-loving man who be-
lieves that barvery should be rewarded
and honors instead of the gullatine CIV
en- him.

WRONG MAN INDICTED.

In their efforts TO secure the indict-
ment of Mayor Williams. the Portland
Reform League missed their hold. and
are subject To indictment themselves
The Evening Telegram says;
Concerning Indictment of city offi,
cials by grand jury
The opinion of several attorneys
voiced in the state circuit court this
morning. is that the law does not make
1t the duty of the mayor to frequent
gambling houses in order to obtain evil
dence against the proprietors; that the
mayor is in the matter of investiga-
tion simply private citizen; that John
Balm, d. A. Pattullo and other men,
bers of the Municipal League who OBJ
tained evidence against the gamblers
are liable to indictment. for the reason
that when they had learned that gam
ing houses were being conducted they
did not appear in the municipal court
and swear out warrants against the
proprietors of such houses"
This is the contention made by The
Astorian. People who snoop around,
prying into everybody's business and
trying to have honorable men indicted
are the ones to blame. The mayor is
not supposed to visit gambling dens
TO See that the laws are enforced. That
duty devolves upon the officers and
every citizen. The members of the Re-
form League visited the gambling
houses. procured the evidence and
didn't have the sand to make complaints
to the proper officers. but instead, re-
sorted to the most reprehensible and
contemplate methods known to human
ity. They are moral towards, unworthy
of confidence and politically rotten to
the core. The more the actions of these
consecrated reformers are exposed, the
more contempt is held for them by all
honest men. No one expects that
Mayor Williams will ever be tried. He
was not even arrested and when he pre-
sented himself to the court to be ad-
mitted to bail, he was informed that no
bail was required. This is a self-evi-
dent fact of the moral cowardice Of the
pernicious grafters that compose the
Portland Reform League, and should
relegate them to everlasting infamy.

An instance Of the lack of apprecia-
ton on the part Of the county paupers
was shown yesterday, when little girl
accompanied by her mother, applied to
the county court for an allowance of
groceries. The county court inquired If
the mother was willing to go out in the
country and go to work, there being
good place there where the girl
could attend school. The woman is a
stout, ablebodied person, but she
scorned work. All she wanted was to
live off the county. 1t is very probable
that her rations will be cut off. A wo-
man that is able to work and wont work
is not entitled to support at the ex-
pense OF the county.

HE DID NOT PROMISE
Thu Accused Packers Gave Garfield
information Voluntarily.
Rather Than Permit Defendants 10
Place Themselves In Position 60
Receive Immunity He Ceased
investigating.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Attorney
General Moody Thursday made a state
ment with reference to the pleas IN
bar fled for the defendants In the in
dictment against the beef packers
pending in the district court at CHI
cago.
He said he believed that the public
was entitled to some accurate infor-
nation with regard to the facts and
that 1t could be given without affect
ing the interests of the government
or infringing upon the just rights OF
the accused. The statement contin-
ues:
"Ten separate pleas in bar have
been filed, each of them alleging facts
which 1t Is claimed ought to bar the
government from proceeding further
in this case.
Eight Of these pleas are based upon
the alleged conduct Of Mr.. Garfield,
commissioner of corporations, In max
ing an investigation of the affairs OF
the defendants in pursuance Of the au-
thority conferred upon him by law,
and In special obedience to the reso-
lutions Of the house Of representatives
requiring him to make such investiga-
ton.
1.-THE government denies in point of
fact that Mr.. Garfield did compel
the several defendants to attend and
testify and produce documents before
him, or that he did subpoena any Of
the defendants to appear before him
and testify or produce documentary
evidence; or that he waived the oath
which he was authorized to require OF
Of them; or that any evidence obtained
from the defendants was delivered to
or used by the department Of justice
or the district attorney before the
grand jury which found the indict-
ment.
"The attorney general asserts In the
most positive terms that none of the
information obtained by Mr.. Garfield
was used before the grand jury and
further says that he is informed by
Mr.. Garfield and believes that at
certain stages of the investigation the
defendants declined to give informa-
ton unless they were put in posi-
ton to obtain the immunity provided
by the act Of congress and requided by
the constitution Of the United States,
and then when such instances occurred
acting after conference with the at
torney general, Mr.. Garfield refrained
from pursuing the inquiry further and
made no further attempts to obtain
information, documentary or other
wise.

begins. heard young lawyer make his
maiden speech. II was in defense OF q
fellow who was half.witted, arrested on
the charge of stealing q hog, the young
attorney having been appointed by the
court.
His defense was that his client was an
idiot, and unable to distinguish between
right and wrong. He closed u fowery
speech with this peroration:
'Gentlemen Of the jury, look at my
client. That low, receding forehead. those
lusterless eyes, portend that he was de-
prived by nature of the power to dis.
tinguish right from wrong, ignorant of
the distinction which exists between his
own property and that of others. To
him, as to the two-year.old child, what
ever he wants and can reach belongs to
HIM. He knows neither why il does nor
Why IL does not. But, gentlemen of the
Jiry, such are the institutions of this,
our free and glorious country. that my
client, IDIOT though he is, stands for trial
today by jury Of his peers"
