THE CHAMPION GRowLER The Lewiston
Journal is the champion grumbler of the Fer
ritory, and leather medal should be forward
cd to that institution, bearing the appropriate
inscription, Chief Growler." 1t never loses
an opportunity to spit out little venom against
everybody and everything in this section o.
Idaho Territory. 1t asserts that we have new
er had Delegate to Congress who has ever
paid any attention to the wants or requirements
of North Idaho. 1t is needless for us to state
that such an assertion is entirely unsupported
by the facts. Our grumbling friend is forgetful
of the appropriations for military road in bis
section, and of the establishment of Land Of
fee in Lewiston, which were secured through
the active efforts of one of our former Dele
gates, the late Hon. f. d. Holbrook, of Boise.
He ignores entirely the establishment OF
post Offices and post roads in his section OF
what he considers suffering and neglected
Idahe;" and, in fact, ignores everything ex-
cept that the Delegate has not been Repub
lican from bis end of the Territory We say
Republican" for the reason that the Journal
claims to be of the Independent order; and we
have never seen apaper claiming to be "Inde-
pendent in politics" but that it always sided
with the minority party, in the State or Terri
tory where it was published. The Oregon Bul-
letin, for instance, claimed to be independ-
ent, and yet it is, and has been, one of the
most virulent, as well as best conducted
and ably edited papers, in the interests of
the Radical party in the Webfoot State.
Our Lewiston contemporary INDUCES in fu-
silade of abuse of our present able member as
well as our former Delegates to Congress; and
yet does not cite a single instance in which the
interests of any section of our Territory have
been neglected or overlooked by our accredited
representative at the National Capitol. The
only demand our neighbor prefers is that they
should have an increase of population in North
ern idaho. and, to that end, that his section be
made known, aud its advantages to bona .Jide
settlers be heralded far and wide throughout
the country. Without an Immigration Aid
Society" it is an uphill business to divert the
tide of immigration to any particular section
of our country; and Delegate to Congress is
not elected by the people, nor paid by the Gen
eral Government, to avoid his duties at the
National Capitol and travel around the country
as an agent of such society in the endeavor
to induce immigrants to settle in Idaho II
we desire an agent to perform such duties we
must provide for the position and pay the in
cumbent. We are willing to admit that North
Idaho is as good country as lies out doors,
in climate, soil and healthfuness," as claimed
by our neighbor; and he should admit that there
exist other sections presenting equal advant-
ages, of greater area, that also require repre-
sentation at the seat of government. Appro- |
priations have been made which were expend- |
ed in Northern Idaho; but what appropriation
has ever been made for the benefit of Boise |
county? Have we eyer received dollar in
bounty from the General Government, or have

honored by having the Delegate chosen from
our county, but it has been done not only by
the consent but with the valuable assistance
of our gallant neighbors in North Idaho, and
for which We have ever been grateful We
are willing to concede to our friends in that
section all they demand and all that they de-
sire; but we are not ready to believe that our
valued friends and peighbors of North Idaho
larbor that sectional feeling against us, and
possess that spirit of discomfort which the
Journal would lead US to believe. If the
Journal has been neglected or sighted, we ad-
'ise the presentation of a bill of indictment
specific counts A complaint COM
ng from the independent" press, which
contains only general counts, is not only de-
nurrable, but might subject. our neighbor to n
