special omcers, or Dulldoze jurors who
would not agree to convict, but has
gone ahead fairly and impartially to do
his duty. In other words District At
torney Manning has conducted trials in
a gentlemanly, orderly manner, has not
asked any unfair advantage over ac-
cused men, in order to convict them. He
seems satisfied to give every man his
day in court, fair trial, and he has
been securing convictions that will
stick. The failure Of Hcney to secure
conviction in tho Sorensen case, his
reprimand of the jurors, HIS DRAG
GING THOSE INTO COURT WHO
STOOD OUT AGAINST A YER
dot, are all fresh in the minds Of tho
people, and are being contrasted with
District Attorney Manning's MORE
EFFECTIVE, IF LESS PYRoTECH-
MIC DISPLAYS AS A PUBLIC PROS
EoUToR.
Whether the President would appoint
Judge Lowell or Justice Bean would
not make much difference. Both are
clean, capable, honest men for the place
BOTH WOULD DO THEIR DUTY AT
ENFORCING THE LAWS IN GEN
ERAL- Whether they would take THE
WESTERN VIEW Of public land mat
ters, or the WASHINGTON VIEW is
uncertain. Tho Washington view seems
TO be that land administration has been
particularly lax in Oregon, that frauds
have been far.reaching, and corruption
and crookedness general. THAT THE
PRESIDENT BELIEVES IN GOING
TO THE BOTTOM IN OREGON NO
ONE CAN DOUBT. Right there Mr..
Honey steps in and says want no Or
egon politicians for judge. Therefore,
Senator Fulton will hardly be allowed
TO name the judg Fulton is one Of
the dominant machine faction. Any
friend Of his would bo a friend OF tho
rest Of the delegation. NO SUCH
MAN IS WANTED. Chances are Mr..
Heney will submit a man to Mr.. Fulton,

There has been stopping at the Hotel
Portland for few days Chas. II. Robb,
assistant attorney-general Of the United
States. / have not met him, because
do not stop at the Waldorf.Astoria of
the Oregon four hundred. Not being
on the government payroll, i stop at
one Of the cheaper hotels, where herd
the travelling men, cattle-punchers and
country produce dealers from the COW
counties. SO far l have to take the
oregonian for it that this special agent
Of the government is "here to confer
with Mr.. Heney in regard TO the ap-
pointment Of federal judge to sue
ceed Bellinger.' Mr.. Heney is the
U. 8. district attorney sent
here TO try the land fraud cases
OF course, the FEDERAL JUDO !

CORPORATIONS, Under the magic

FIVE OF Capitalism, or he may be

republican party. Whatever they say
,oes They may decide to name man

The great free people of an indie
endent commonwealth are declared
neapable of even recommending a
roper man for federal judge. 1t must
