q newspaper to stand idly by and

politicians to make states and pack

can't see it that way. IF a man,
spoken Of for an important Office, is
not qualified or deser ring of such
Office, it is the plain duty of news
paper TO come out and say so before
ne is nominated. II il an easy
matter for a man to "buftonhole"
himself into a nomination. a very
small portion Of the rank and file of

have a say in the nominating con-
vention-and If newspaper is not
too tightly bound by party ties =
will come out boldly before the con-
vention and point out the shortcom-
ings of aspirants who are anxious
and willing to serve the dear people
for the salary attached II Il isn't
policy for an independent newspaper
to stake part in nominating any one
for any Office, then it isn't policy

Ia GRANDE MAN CLEARED
OF BRIBERY CHARGE.
After Two Hours DeliberatiOn Jury
Returns Verdict Favoring Defend
ant-Was Recently Denied Change
of Venue to Umatilla COunty-Evi-
dence Fails TO Support Charge Of
Receiving Bribery Money From
Gamblers q Year Ago.

EX-register of the United States
land office at La Grande, and ex-
councilman of that city, E. w. Bart
lett, who was found guilty of accept
ing bribe money from La Grande
gamblers a year ago, was acquitted
of the charge in his second trial which
ended at La Grande yesterday.
After being out but two hours the
jury returned verdict of not guilty.
Bartlett was denied a change of venue
to Umatilla county, recently, he having
made plea that he could not get
justice before a Union county jury.
Steve Gardiner, who was a member
of the council with Bartlett, was
found guilty and served six months in
the county Jail for his crime, but
Bartlett secured a new trial with the
result that he has been acquitted.
GARDINER in the former trial testi-
fled that neither himself nor Bartlett
had taken money from the gamblers,
but in the second trial he turned
states evidence and swore that he had
perjured himself the first time, and
that both himself and Bartlett took
money, which was divided equally in
Bartlett's office.

Brand Market Can Afford.

England's Ruler Smokes Choicest
Brand Market Can Afford.
New York, Mar. 6.-The king oi
England has placed with New York
firm of tobacco brokers an order for
500 cigars which in point of price
will be slightly in excess Of what the
royal smoker paid two years ago
when his bill for 1000 cigars was ;S,-
900.
For the 500 that are to be shipped
from Havana in time to reach Eng
land at the beginning Of the Easter
holidays. he will pay $500. but 1t is
not likely that they will excel, even
IL they equal in quality, the famous
1000 which took three months in
making. II Lucullus handed cigars
around after his feasts OF humming-
bird potpie and broiled peacock
tongues he never bade his guests
smoke on such carefully and daintily
prepared cigars as these.
There is no exaggeration as to the
price of the expense incurred in the
manufacture, said John ]. Flaherty,
who is we'll up on cigars. Three
thousand dollars was actually
paid by King Edward for 1000 cigars,
and the margin Of profit even at that
unprecedented price was exceedingly
small. The manufacturer was eager
to gain the prestige of having served
royalty and went to extraordinary
expense. The cigars were eigh
inches in length and at the thickes
part in the riddle, one inch in di
ameter. They were made OF tn
finest Vuelta Tbajo tobacco.
