SALT LAKE COOPERATION. -
From reliable information received
from the capital of Utah we discover
that the cooperative principle works
like charm, and puts the line of de-
narration In a most unmistakable
manner. between Mormon and Gen
tile. Whether it will not react on
the people themselves is a question !;
once attack the principles of constit.
utional liberty and free action, the
i;ue of circumvallation in time draws
into a narrawer Gordon at the pleasure
aud interest Of the parties in power.
Strong monetary influence is brought
to bear, and the weakest 60 to the
wall. If we can judge of the future
by the past, such is the usual ending
of such monopolies, and such, we
doubt not, will be the finale of the
attempt Brigham Young is making
to con6ne all branches of trade in
Utah exclusively to Mormons, and
thus force the Gentle element to
abandon the country. Cooperation,
as applied by the Mormon ruler, is
monopoly in its worst form, and if
successful the Mormons themselves
will be the worst sufferers. Utah
Territory is American soil, and yet
to all ihtents aud purposes the great
bulk Of the American people are ex-
,luded from the country Just as effec.
.ually as if it we're surrounded BY a
Chinese wall. Possibly this system
II exclusin will be tolerated, but in
II age when the restrictions that
rave heretofore trameled trade are
icing removed, its existence c an only
's regarded as on anomaly.

SPECIAL TERM.-The bill provi-
ding for special term of the Dis
trict Court, was introduced in the
Council BY Mr.. Stone, Of Clark, but
undoubtedly was suggested by the
Walla Wslla members. We have ta
ken pains to ascertain what the pub,
lie feeling is in relation to this meas.
ure, and find that it is unanimously
adverse to the special term. The
docket of the Court was never light.
er than at the present time, and nc
substantial injustice will be done lit
igants by waiting for the regular May
term. Two of the members from
this county are honest farmers, and
10 them we look for the defeat Of
this bill. The members from this
county, two years since, done every
thing they could to reduce the pub
lie expenditures, and we earnestly
hope that the good example then
set will not be departed from. The
load of national, Territorial, county,
'aad municipal taxation now resting
upon our people is grievous to be
borne, and the members from this
county, if they are faithful to their
trust, will see to it that not a single
penny is added to it unnecessarily.

A CoxrsxPrIBts CLIouE.-Th ere is in
this county a small squad of radicals
who am to control the party, and die
late Whe shall have place sua who
shall stand aside, and yet are entirely
destitute Of every qualification for lead
ership. Previous to the last Delegate
election in this Territory they sought to
defeat the nomination Of Garfelde, and
TO that end resorted to "stuf6ng," but
failing to succeed in their rascality they
turn about and claim to be Garfelde's s
exclusive friends. Like the sun. flower,
these fellows worship the rising sun,
and after having signed Bakers circular
and made the old man ridiculous all
over the Territory, they turn to GarS
1elde and tell him the circular was only
got up to play the old pill vender out.
This Is no quarrel Of ours, but We think
It right that Gar6elde should know that
the men who are now fawning on him,
and writing him letters by every mail,
six months ago were denouncing him
at every corner, and vowing that they
would "cut their gyms off before they
would vote for him." Some of them
even took Bakers money TO go down on
the Sound and electioneer against Gar
fielde, and yet have the impudence to
ask that in the distribution of offices
their claims shall be first considered.
The leaders of this "clique" are small
"shavers," and carry into politics all
the sharp practice they have learned in
the pursuit of most demoralizing call.
ing. If Gar6elde is wise be will kick
the whole brood away from him, aud
select men to fill the offices who have
some influence with the people. From
Cox, the head of the clique, down to
Stone, its tail end, not one of them can
influence single vote, and their sup>
port, as was illustrated at the election
last spring, is death to the man they
favor. There isn t a thimblefnll of brains
in the whole crowd, and their attempt
to ape the dignity and importance OF
party leaders, affords infinite amuse-
ment to the democrats of the county,
who look at their antics very much as
they would at the monkey climbing a
pole.

A CoRRUPT GovEREOR. The
Oregon papers, republican as well as
democratic, are denounciug Governor
Woods for corruption in the matter
of pardons, and state that he has a
regular tariff, on the payment of
which the most abandoned criminal
can regain his liberty. In one case
recently, it is stated that he re-
oeived $500 for the pardon of a
man convicted of heiuous crime,
and sentenced to twenty years i'm
prisonment. In another case, not
quite as bad, the price of a pardon
was 81, 900. This man Woods, who
has thus reduced bribery to a sys-
ten, is a shining light in the radi.
cal camp, and at the last election
was invited to canvass Walla Wal
Ia Valley in the interest of the rad.
ical ticket. The fact that he is an
unprincipled scoundrel is known and
admitted by leading radicals; but
then he is useful man to the party
and SO he is boIStered up, just as il
this valley thieves and perjurers have
been thrust into Office by the radi
Gals, and kept in after their delin.
quencies became known. We un
derstand how it is that honest but
misguided men find their way int
the radical camp, but how they re.
main there is to us a puzzle.

DEATH OF Col. CRAIG.-Our
friend Geo, Butler, just down from
Lewiston, informs US that Col. Will
liam Craig, one of the pioneers in
the settlement of the Northwest
coast, died at his residence on the
Lapwai, q few days since. Colonel
Craig was born in Greenbrier county,
Virginia, about the year 1910. He
went to St. Louis in 1880, and en-
tered the employ of the American
Fur Company, and led the wild life
of trapper until 1915, when he
came to Lapwai and settled. He
was for about two years in the en-
ploy of the Mission at that point.
During the time of his life as u trap
per, he was the cbmrade of Kit Car.
son. Sublette, Newell, Meeks, Thomp-
son, Walker, RabOin, and host Of
other brave men whose names are
indissoiubly connected With the early
history of this country. He served
in the several expeditions of Bonne.
vile, Wythe, aud others, and rem.
dered great assistance to Gen. l. |.
Stevens in his treaties with the Nez
Perces, Cayuse and Blackfoot tribes
of Indians in 1855. He was after
wards appointed Indian Agent by
Gen. Stevens for the Nez Perces, in
which capacity he served until re-
lieved by A. J. Cain in 1859. He
also served on Gen. Stevens staff,
holding the rank of Colonel, and stat
toned at Lapwai. During the last
Indian war he rendered the govern
ment valuable assistance, using his
influence successfully to prevent the
Nez Perces and other tribes from
open hostilities. The deceased was
man of nerve, heart and generous
impulses, aud will be regretted by
all who respect the toll and sufferings
endured BY the earlier pioneers in
opening up the country to settlement.

SPEAKING of the depravity of San
Francisco, aud the fact that it is
common to see abandoned females
staggering about the streets in q
state of intoxication, the Portland
Evening Commercial says with much
truth: This is a forciable commen-
tsry on the prevalence of vice in all
shapes in that city. San Francisco
has sent, and is still sending means
and missionaries to reclaim from base
idolatry the hsatheus the ocean, to
che sad neglect of her own spiritual
growth. Better retain them with>
10 her own depraVed precincts.

The SPECIAL TERM.-We trust
that the members of the Legislature
from this county will exert them
selves to defeat that part Of the ju-
dietary bill which provides for spe,
cial term of the District Court. a
gentleman who il in a position to
know, informs us that special term
will involve the county in an ex-
peDse of $1,000, every dollar of
which will be just that much thrown
away The only persons interested
in holding the special term, are the
lawyers, and We have too much re-
spect for these gentlemen to harbor
the belief that they will vote this
tax upon the county in order to put
money in their purses. The pas
sage of this bill will be equivalent
to saying that they prefer private
gain to the public coed, and any
man who comes back to this county
thus branded may take it for granted
that he will never again be called
upon to ill position OF seither honor
or trust. We speak thus pointedly
about this matter, for the reason
that we know that there is a deep
feeling among the people, who re-
gard the special term as simply
means to swindle taxpayers. The
case of Gholson is the only one that
affords the slightest argument in
favor of the measure, and sooner
than put the county to the expense
of special term, it would be well
to admit him to bail, or turn him
loose altogether. The county can
not afford to administer justice in
this expensive way, aud besides there
is no necessity for it. Gholson's
crime was committed over a gear
ago, and having waited all this time
without trial, we think he can en-
dure it six months longer. Messrs.
Page aud O'Bryaut should especially
exert themselves to defeat the meas.
ure, and thus meet the expectations
of their constituents, who are unit
in opposing this unnecessary tax.
