THE PORTLAND PACE;

Portland, happily for herself, and
the northwest, has set pace in the
administration. Of justice that will
serve most excellent ends. The Is
hours devoted to the detection, trial
and sentencing of Schwartz and Mil
Ter. the train robbers, and the speedy
disposition of the Finch murder case,
will inspire a respect for the law
there that has not been felt for many
a day, and the effect throughout the
State and the whole Northwest wi.
be manifest. Ii is not that the people
want the duress or blood Of any mal
living, but that they demand the exc
-cution Of the law in cases so utterly
within it as these. Every man breads
the law; but when he begins to laugh
at ii. it is time to invoke its potency
and make it understood. This has
been done at Portland, quickly, hon,
estiy and thoroughly; just where II
Ishouid be done, in view Of the re-
narkable failure Of the law to do
anything there for long time, in the
way Of furnishing criminals. Every
body is glad Of this exposition and

Don't forget, you amusement low

tangent from the beaten paths fol-
lowed by the greater Of the theatri-
cal troupes OF the country, and that
every time they come here, they
travel hundred miles out, and back,
from their fixed course; therefore
are they entitled to generous attend
ance, on a fair basis Of admission, es-
pecialg If we wish them to come
again. And the attendance we give
them is the test of their coming, and
of companies like them for the word
goes out among them all that we are

measure our chance of getting the
best. Astoria Is usually generous
with her patronage; and it will even
pay her to be- abit more so,5
