OVERLAND RAILROAD FARES.

For some reason very unhappy state OF
feeling exists between the controlling men OF
the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroad
Companies, and the consequence is the rates
of passage and freight, and the connections ON
the two divisions are not regulated as they
should be. To this point, Senator Trumbull OF
Illinois spoke at meeting in Sacramento, July
14tb. held in honor of the arrival there of him
self and party OF distinguished caaitalists,
merchants and other business men of Illinois.
In response to Senator Trumbull's reference to
the inharmoniousness which exists between the
two Companies, and the effect of this feeling
on the business of the great connected rail-
roads, Mr.. Charles Croker, the Superintend-
ent of the Central Pacific road, made a short
speech in which, as the Sacramento Union re-
ports it, he said:
The men whose brains, spirit and energy had built
the road would probably be able to run it; that he
had no fears that the ties would rot the rail rust
he wished it to be distinctly understood that the Cen
trail Pacific had been ready, were ready, and at
all times hereafter would be ready to meet the Union
Pacific and carry freight and passengers low, mile
for mile as the latter company could, or dared This
ayowal met the most decided manifestations of APP
probation and applause from every table in the ROOM

MATTHEW RICE, foremost citizen OF La
Grande, and known to many in this Basin, was
mortally shot in that town, Monday, July IStn'
by George Reed, and lived only about an nour
and a half after he received the wound From
the Sentinel of last Saturday we learn that the
parties had ugly words about the right to some
hav. and Rice crowded Reed until the latter
fired his pistol in self-defence. After an ex-
animation, Reed was discharged from custody
for the killing. Mr.. Rice was q native OF Dun
dalk, county Louth. Ireland, and aged 70 years.
He has left widow and two children to mourn
his untimely death, and large circle OF warm
friends deeply sympathise with them in their
sad and sudden and terrible bereavement.
Matt. Rice had noble traits of character; he
has gone to the life beyond the grave; may his
soul rest in peace.

ent of the Walla Walla Union, whose letter is
dated July 9TH, says the river has reached its
very lowest stage at that point; that Woods,
who murdered Duffey on the evening of July
4th, was once tried for shooting Chinaman
in the arm in Walla Wala and that the peo-
pie of Lewiston came very near hanging him
without trial for the Dufiey murder, but better
counsel finally prevailed and he is in custody
to await trial; that Mr.. Butler and party. just
in from the Moose creek mines, give unfavor-
able reports; and that late word from Warrens
and Florence is encouraging.

He DIsCKIMINArEs.-A short time ago,
President Grant appointed ten youths as cadets
to West Point, aud they are all white boys.
AS Grant appoints negroes to civil Offices and
clerkships, he certainly ought to appoint negro
cadets to West Point and Annapolis. If negroes
are fit associates of men in Federal civil po-
stions, they are equally fitted for fellowship
with military officers.

SCHOOL BooKs.-The Walla Walla States

SCHOOL BOoKs.-The Walla Walla States
man of last Friday says an examination OF the
books used in one of the schools in that place
discovers them to be little better than Radl-
cal tracts" and it suggests that these Radical
text books be banished from the schools y
Most heartily do we concur in the suggestion
and would addict every book which would
Undue the pupils mind with party politics
democratic or Radical, or any shade of either),
or with sectarian ideas on religious subjects,
be banished from the schools. School books
can be had which are not propaganda agents
in disguise to warp and pervert the training
and teaching of the youths of the land, and no
book which does these things should be tolerat-
ed in any public school, if in any other kind of
school, 1t is thing which every parent or
guardian, who has a child to educate, ought to
carefully watch against, and we trust the wise
and salutary suggestion above mentioned will
be observedin every school, here and elsewhere.

THE Walla Wala Statesman OF last Friday
devotes an article to what 1t is pleased to term
the outrageous tax imposed by Idaho Terri
tory upon all packers and teamsters who hap
pen to come within her limits" Very likely,
Newell, if you lived in Idaho and were con-
versant with the subject in all its bearings, you
would not think the tax outrageous or unjust.
But, at oil events, it is imposed by Legislative
enactment, and the Tax Collectors have no dis
erection in the matter-they must levy and col
lect the tax as the law prescrites. And until
the Legislature repeats the tax or tho Courts
annul it, there can be no remedy. But just
think the whole subject all over, Mr.. Statesman,
before you again denounce the tax.
