A Threadbare Subject.

The disc lssou Of Christmas through the col
umns OF the Statesman has been worn thread
bare, and the time has come to put down the
brakes. A Teutonic friend, however, claims the
last word, and so we allow him his say.
We, as Christian people, and as all Christian
nations over the whole universe, sincerely be-
lieve
LIST. That on the 25th of December Christ,
our Redeemer and founder of our religion, was
born in Bethlehem.
I'd. That said day has rightfully been termed
and observed as Christmas day.
Sd. That to join in religious worship on that
day and praise God for his mercy with all thy
heart and soul, is very appropriate,

ones and make them haPpy,is worthy custom
9th. To make up old qnarrels, strife and dis

no Injury, but on the contrary, strengthens the

and participate in a social dance, can do no
harm in the eye of God, only to such who de-
sire to make harm out of it, and to that class
would say "Honi soft, qui nal y pense."
For if time shall steal our years away shall
it steal our pleasures too There is time to do
all things time to pray aud time to play time
to labor and time to rest and here allow me to
remark, what would the world be to US without
its earthly amusements aud joys2
There is certainly class Of our race, who
favor the extreme rather than the proper course
of enjoyment but why confound the innocent
with the guilty, and take from them that grand
privilege given by God himself, to rejoice and
be not always fOrsaken7 But still, let US look
forward with ardent hope, for many many more
merry Christmas days. Keep up the lovely
custom in spirit and in truth, for our fathers and
mothers taught US the mode, and our children
and children's children will remember Christ.

AGENTS FOR THE sTATEsMANi
uaIIa MalIa VS.. UmatIIIa.

Occasionally we hear it stated that prices
are high 10 this market, and that goods are
sold at much lower figures at Umatilla. We
doubt not that in this way we have lost COM
siderable trade. AS showing that the im-
iupressiou Is uufounded, and that in fact
our merchants are content with even small
er margin than their Umatilla neighbors,
we give the prices as published in the Una
tilla Press Of the 18th, aud then the Walla
Walls prices. At Umatilla, Flour is held at
sS,5o@s9. At Walla Walla;the best brands
are held at s5@s6. At Umatilla, Barley is
quoted at 23 cents Walla Walla price II
cents. Oats at Umatilla, 8 cents Walla
WaIla, II cents. Powdered Sugar is quo

ders, II cents. Walla Walla price, Bacon

Is cents. At Umatila, Beans 8(9l0 cents
Walla Walla, 6@7 cents. At Umatilla, Corr
Meal, SS@s9 per hundred Walla Walk
price, s. per hundred. We have here ruu
through the leading staples, and it will b'
seen that in every article the difference il
greatly in favor of Walla Walla, amounting
10 many instances all the way from so to Il
per cent. We might run through the whole
schedule and show that in the line Of cloth
ing, dry goods, hardware, and in fact, ever!
branch of trade, lower prices prevail in thi
market than the same articles are sold a
Umatilla. We mention these facts, not 70
the purpose OF injuring neighboring town
but to the end that consumers may know
where they can buy cheapest.

HOMclDE:-We are again called upon to chron.
ice another of those fatal afrdys which appear
to be inseparable from free indulgence of
whisky combined with the pernicious practice
of carrying deadly weapons The affray occur
red in Diamond City, at Johnsoo' 8 saloon, on
Friday, 2lst inst, between two lrishmen named
John Gaffney and Edward McDnf, and resulted
10 the almost instantaneous death of the latter
From what we can gather of the facts of the
case It appear that the present affray arose from
former difficulty between the parties, the par,
tisulars of which are as follows Gaffney
keeps the Idaho saloon, in Diamond City, in
which gambling is also carried on, and some
month or so ago McDuf entered the saloon, put
his purse 10 the bar and drew out some cheks to
bet with. After the sitting, during which he
lost some Sl4O, be went to weigh outtha amount
from the purse, when McDuf snAtched It from
him and ran of. Tue former had to pay the
amount, aud be issued warrant for McDuh's
arrest. Not wishing to press matters, it was
settled without having recourse To law Bser
since that time McDutf has been Overbeariug in
his manner toward q. ffney, who is represented
as qaiet, inOfeasIve man. On FrIdIy they
had both been iniulging 10 liqu u. aui happen,
ing 10 meet IN johnson some words eusued
between the .rties, when McDdf slapped Gdtf
nry IN the face, upon which the latter drew his
revolver and shot MeDuf four tlmes-uuee in the
forehead, once in the cHin, the other two shots
taking effect ~ the body. Tue man fell and ex
pired before any one vOuld reacn him. Gaffney
was immediately arrested and brought hrfOre
Justice Weston. He admitted the complaint,
aud the Justice COMMITTED hun for trial At the

The GOLD DUST NUISANCE The mer-
chants and business men Of the Boise coun,
try have come to the unanimous determines
tiou, to discourage as much as possible, the
use of dust as a currency, and when CONS
PEELED to take it to uniformly adhere to the
reduced rates. The merchants of Umatilla
come to a similar determination some time
since In Baker county, as also 10 Union
county, merchants and business men have
adopted the same rules 10 regard to the use
of dust. 1t thus appears that Walla Walla
is the only settlement Of any note in the up
per country that adheres to the system of
receiving "mixed" and "lottery" dust at
figures far in advance Of the actual value.
How much logger we can continue this sys-
TEN is easy to conjecture. Already We find
that coin is growing scarce, and even treasuN
ry notes are in demand. The fact that dust
is received here at more than its actual val.
ue, has caused the tide to set this way, and
just as fast as the inferior currency flows in
upon us, just so fast the coin leaves US. 1t
is unfortunate that we should be victimized
in this way, and still more unfortunate that
the business of whole community should
suffer owing to the obstinacy of single
individual. We have already stated that
our merchants had come to 90 understand
ing 10 regard to this matter, but Owiag to
