The INDEPENDENrs.-Rega the Inde-
pendents in Washington Territory the Walla
Walla Statesman says: " The enemies Of
reform take great delight in repeating the
assertion that the independent movement u
confined TO this county, and that on the
Sound it will not have dozen supporters.
The trouble with these gentlemen is. that
they have not taken time to post themselves
and attempt to palm off for fact that which
exists in their imag gination. The independ-
ent movement is 80 co-extersive with the
Territory, and numbers among it's adherentr
many Of the leading men who formerly gave
character and dignity to the old political
organizations. The spirit of reform las
found its way into Whatcom county. and
Hon. Edward Eldridge, chairman Of the
Republican Committee for that county has
ssued call in which he has the hardhood
to say that the promotion Of the interests Of
the country is paramount to the success Of
corrupt political parties. ....--y,
In concluding his address, Mr.. Eldridge
uses the following language: Bear in mind
that the country is safer in the hands Of
good men will, a poor policy. than in tile
hands of bad men with the best possible
policy. A country has nothing to fear
from good men: it has everything to fear
from bad ones.

MoTHER-P PIONEERS. The first verse Of the
poem written, for the Pioneers First Quarter
celebration. by Mrs. James Neall, and read
by Rev. j. E. Benton, held in San Francisco
on the 9th inst, Is a follows:
0 bells of memory, ring your chimes to-day
Lei your sweet choes hoat upon the air
And reach afar, that to your call may come
The miner from his toll; the Granger from his
ranch
Among the hills; the merchant from his wares;
Ring out with clamorous tongubs-invite the
wanderers back e.
Omitting not the mother.pionsers.
Who shared the psyils Of our early day,
With cheerful outlook on the brightest side.

Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia

Dyspepsia is the most perplexing OF all
human ailments. Its symptoms are al
most infinite in their variety, and the for
lorn and respondent victims of the disease
often fancy themselves the prey, in turn,
of every malady This is due, in part, to
the close sympa Thy which exists between
the stomach and the brain, and in part also
to the fact that any disturbance of the d.
gestive function necessarily disorders the
liver, the bowels and the nervous system,

could trot and who backed his opinion by

The whole of Moline'was OF, land, accord

Alexis victor. Their programmeswas
not carried out. Jas. S. Gilmore drove the
mare MOLLY" and won in four straight
heats, and those present say it was. not fast
trotting either-only fast enough to win,
hardly inside of four minutes. Moline
doesn't enjoy races on the ice,as much as
she did last week. Mr. Gilmore refused to
trot his horse till the money was put where
he could get it after he had won it. jim

A Riot at the Emmett House.

Sunday night about o'clock, the police
were called to the Emmett House, near the
Arsenal bridge, and found that several
lawless, rowdy young men had been engag-
ed in riotous conduct there. The young
rowdies entered the house and called for
whisky, but were refused by the proprie-
tor. They then took bottles from their
pockets and commenced drinking, and rails
ing disturbance, breaking the panels out
of a door, etc. They fed on the approach
of the police. Policemen Anthony and
Snyder succeeded, however, in capturing
Chase Higgins and James Byrnes and took
them to jail To-day another one luke
Foley was secured. and an examina-
ton was had this afternoon
the 9TH before Esq Chopper,
who held them, under the State law, for
creating a riot. Bail was fixed at 5000
each, for want of which they were commit
ted to Jail to await their trial at the next
term of court.
1t is only day or two since Judge
Peasants suspended sentence of Foley who
had been convicted of vagrancy and tern
fixed at 80 days in the Sta prison
Judge Peasants showed this young rasca
lenity on account of his youth and hi
promise of good behavior. 1t was a kline
and well-meant act on the part Of tn,
Judge, but it was, as Foley's conduct nov
shows, wholly misplaced. The only wa.
to do with these young villains, and all Xix
them, is to give them the severest penalt.
the law permits, and strike terror into tn
ranks of their comrades.
