The Christian minister is not the servant
of success, bat of Jesus Christ and his
blessed will, and 1t is often his portion to be
sanctifed by suffering rather than by sue
cess, by failure of bis desires rather than by
victory.

He gives His angels charge,
"a charge concerning thee,
Aud they shall bear thee up,
And they shall comfort thee.
Tormented, tossed, alone,
Though rough thy path may be,
Upon griePs sharpest stone,
Thy foot unframed shall be.
Though Wild the tempest roar,
Far out on sorrows sea,
Hear thou forever more,

1t is asserted at Russian headquarters,
so the correspondent OF the New York
"Times" writes, that all the positions be-
fore Plevna was telegraphed to London in
time to be communicated to Constantine
pie before recent attacks were made; and
this work is traced chiefly to Mr. Boyle,
correspondent Of the London Standard
1t is this incident that led to the expulsion
of most representatives,, both of European
and American journals from the Russian
lines. The London Standard" for its
breach of faith which led to so untoward a
result, is not allowed correspondent even
in Roumania. The representative Of the
New York "'rimes" considers Mr.. BOYLE
very lucky not to have been shot. Cores
pondents he writes, were be fore this tol-
Grated only as intruders; now they are dis
trusted as spies.

"Good-by to the railway" is the cap
ton OF an article in the Victoria " Stan
dard, in one of its Issues of last week.
The article Is an admission that the Cana
dian Pacific is hopeless scheme. 1t is
charged that the Dominion government
has betrayed British Columbia by ignoring
the agreement 10 build railroad, which
was the inducement to the province to ell
ter the confederation. The London
"Times" backs the refusal of the Domin-
ion to go on with the road, urging as an
argument that even if built it could not be
operated without loss, that generation
would eapse before IL would pay working
expenses. How long, il asks, could the
Dominion bear the dead weight OF such an
undertaking? This, no dosbt, Is prac-
tical view Of the case; but onr British
Columbia neighbors are not In good hui
NOR about il.

NOT TOR JOSEPH.

A correspondent O'the Helena "IIerad"
writes from Iemhi, Idaho, to refute the
assertion made in behalf of the Nez Per-
ceS, that they committed no murders on
their retreat, but acted in accord with the
u,agcs of civilized warfare. The persons
killed on Horse Prairie, Montague,
smith, Cooper, Fansworth and Flynn,
this correspondent asserts were wantonly
murdered. One OF them Cooper, had con-
cealed himselt but came out of his hiding
place when they called to him and gave
asSulrence that he should not be hurt,
They shot him down on the spot. AT
Birch creek. they came upon a lot OF
treighters whom they compelled to cook
for them untl they were satisfied. when
the freighters were murdered and the
bodies shockingly mutilated. One of those
unfortunate men was named was Hayden,
and this correspondent SAYS he has in his
possession a piece of gun stock, with Hay
den's hair still clinging TO it. There
seems to be no reason to doubt these
statements Why itever should have been
supposed that the Conduct of these Indians
would be so much better than that OF other
savagcs, who have always under like cir.
cumstances perpetrated like acts of atrocity
isnot apparent. These are outrages whicl
it is only natural to expect from Indians
who engage in acts of hostility. Th,
plea of his humanity is not good one
not tor Joseph. Nobody who knows til,
Indian character would expect bant
which started out with the murderers OF
Camas Prarie to become lenient. mercifu
aud considerate of human life in the flight
from pursuera and punishment.

The bill providing for convention in
Washington Territory to form constitu-
ton preparatory to application for admis-
sion Of the Territory into the Union as a
State, appoints April 8, 1878, as the day
on which delegates to such convention is
to assemble. The number OF delegates is
to be thirty. Walla Walla is named as
the place of holding the convention, which
is intended as concession to that section
OF the Territory. The constitution so
framed is to be submitted to the people at
the general election in 1873, for adoption
or rejection. 1t Is proposed to limit the
session Of the convention to three weeks,
and the per diem of members to five dol
lars, SO that the whole expense to the Ter
rtory, including mileage Of members is
expected not to exceed $4,000. So that
under this plan, if the project for obtaining
admission should fail, the people will not
find the experiment an expensive one. 1t
should b. added that the counties Of North
ern Idaho, Shoshone, Kootenai and Nez
Perces are to be invited to send a delegate
to the convention, with view to being in
cuded within the boundaries of the new
State.

The subject Of state organization seems
to have dropped out Of the consideration
Of members of the Legislature. 1t Is one
OF grave importance to the whole people,
and one that should not be allowed too
long to sumbcr. The people west OF the
Cascades have demanded sta te govern
ment for number of years past, and to
their call l. now in addition heard one as
as loud from the people east OF the noun
tains. The northern Idahoans want ad-
mission Mt the same time we do, rs part
Of the new state of Washington, and we
will welcome them only too gladly. ln-
including them, orr population Is to-day
probably GOOOO, and by the two or three
years tlht will be necessary to perfect our
arrangements will be nearer SO,OOO. such
a population In Washington will not be
like an equal number in Colorado, Arizo-
ma or New Mexico, but will be tine people
of central New York, Pennsylvania or oil
the Connecticut INDEPENDENTLY To-
Gated, intelligent, prosperous people,
bound to increase in number, AS certainly
and rapidly rs any other portion OF our
country. The question Of state capital,
which so troubles our Walla Walla friends
will be decided by vote; aud ifa majority
OF the people say locate It at Walla Wal
la, Lewiston. Yakima City, or any other
point. We will checriully acluiesce. We
are In fiyor Of a state organization' no
matter what the costs and sacrificei aud
