Demonstration of Hostile Indians i'm wash

San FRANCISCO, Dec. ia Wallula, WASH

choppers arrived here last night and report
having met the sheriff of Gakima county With
a company of thirtY-fve whites and fifteen
friendly Indians, last Saturday night near
Priest rapids of the Columbia river, who had
been to Chief Moses camp for the murderers
of the Larkins family. Although Moses had
promised TO aid the sheriff in capturing these
murderers, he met the sheriff and his party
with his whole band of well armed warriors in
war paint and with the most hostile demonstra-
lions. The sheriff retreated from Moses strong
hold. and was apparently trying to evade pur-
suit. When seen he told these men to get to
some settlement as soon as possible and send
him aid. One of the three men claims to have
seen the renegade chieftain Smohalla at Priest
rapids. Friendly Indians have been warning
the wood choppers In the vicinity of Priest
rapids to leave for some time.

punish friend or foe alike for whatever in
justice may have been done. It is more
than mere theory-an abstract principle
with them. They have suffered grievously
during the past fourteen years because Of
corruption and intimidation at the polls,
They have been robbed of their property
and deprived of their right to representation
IN State and national Legislatures by the men
who have had control of them. Having
suffered, they have lively interest in de-
tending the rights of all citizens to an ex.
preston of their will by the ballot. No
other people especially no such person as
Blaine-has the right to claim a create,
solicitude for the rights of the masses.
The remarks of Senator Ransom on this
subject were judicious and temperate. He
showed how only injustice could be wrought
BY secret hearing-how the opportunity
would be seized for the introduction of false
evidence, and how the people injured thereby
would be without redress. Said he:
It is light which protects our homes. When
evidence taken by this committee shall come
to the Senate let it come with no suspicion up.
on it. Let it. be SO broad, go clear. that all
would have to agree that remedy or no rene
dy was needed, as the case might be- 1t would
not be best for the Senator from Maine or any
other Senator, to make assault upon the
Southern people. If there was any thought
that anything would be said which might
provoke recrimination against the North it was
mistake. The Southern people had no such
purpose.
1t was evident, however, that neither Mr..
Blaine nor those who sympathized with him
were in favor of makiLg the evidence "with
no suspicion upon it''-"so broad, so clear,
that all would have to agree that remedy
or no remedy was needed It is rather
their purpose to keep up the agitation-to
prevent final settlement of the question in
controversy as long as possible that the same
arguments may be used on future occasions,
the same charges reiterated for political
effect. Every Democrat in the Senate who
has spoken on the subject has shown laud-
able disposition, an earnest desire, to assist
in the settlement Of this vexed question at
once and forever. They have done nothing
to obstruct or in any way interfere with the
fullest investigation, but have endeavored to
make it thorough and speedy that the guilty,
if any, may be brought to justice, and the
innocent acquitted of responsibility. The
Republicans, on the other hand, have been
striving only for an e.s parte inquiry which
shall leave the Questions at issue still unde-
cided, and afford them on opportunity to
revive the agitation at any future time that
the exigencies Of their party may seem to
require it. We are perfectly satisfied to have
the case go before the country on this basis
and have no fear but the people of the whole
country will approve of the wise and patri-
otto course of the Democracy.

Il CONTRAST or pUBposs

Senator Blaine came out of the second
days debate on the Southern question prot
ty badly battered, but still partial victor.
His power for harm was greatly impaired,
not only by the amendments offered to his
resolutions, but by the debate on the further
amendment to have the sittings Of the com
mitee held with open doors. Mr. Thur
mans amendment to enlarge the scope of
the proposed investigation so as to include
| alleged outrages at the North committed by
United States supervisors of elections and
deputy marshals, was adopted without di-
vision, tile proposition being SO fair that
not even the most violent partisan could find
an excuse for opposing it. Then Senator
Conkling took sufficient interest in the mat
ter to move an amendment committing the
inquiry to special committee of nine SEN
ators instead of the judiciary committee,
which was also adopted. Senator Buffers
amendment providing that the committee
shall sit with open doors called forth a long
discussion, in the course of which the Maine
statesman was badly worsted, al
though he managed to carry his
point by majority of a single
vote. This debate was successful in bring
ing out the policy of the two parties, and
for that reason should be heartily welcomed
by the Democrats, who only desire that there
shall be full understanding of their prin-
ciples by the whole people, confident that
with that understanding the people will be
led to embrace them.
The proposal of Senator Blaine to allow
the sessions of the committee to be held in
secret, indicates to some extent the nature
of the conspiracy in which he is engaged.
He loves darkness rather than light for a
very obvious reason. Under the preposter-
GUS plea that the rights of the witnesses who
might testify to the commission of outrages
would not be safe if they were known. he
proposes to institute secret inquiry, de-
priving the public of the right to know
what monner OF men testify against them
and what manner of testimony they offer.
Under such system a man of notoriously
bad character, utterly unworthy of belief
would be permitted to give perjured evil
dence, and that evidence would be presented
to the public, after being manipulated by a
partisan committee, with its endorsement
and approval. No opportunity would be
given to those compromised by his testi-
rnony to refute it or to prove his Infamous
character, but it would go before the country
as the statement of an honorable and verac.s
ious man instead of the story of perjured
scoundrel. The truth is the committee, if it
shall finally be appointed, will have power to
amply protect the witnesses who appear be-
fore it. If any persons at the South have
been wronged, there will be abundant evil
dence to prove it, for every good citizen in
that section is vitality interested in protect
ing the purity of the ballot box, and will

ANOTHER step forward was taken yesterday
in the interminable litigation which has for
years enyeloped the ST. Paul & Pacific road.
The foreclosure suit was set for this term Of
court, but as delay seemed inevitable, Judge
Dillon decided to hold special term in
March to determine the matter. The judge
very pointedy intimated that someJoay was
entitled to the foreclosure, and that the pub
lie interests demanded that there be definite
ownership of this great property. He
served fair warning that in March the matter
would be settled. Judge Dillon is right
relative to ths interests of the public. The
development of this State has been greatly
retarded by this litigation, and now that
capitalists have been found ready to cora
plete the lines. no legal cobwebs should i'm
pede the progress. The public interests de-
nand the completion of the lines, and the
prospective settlement of ownership in
March will be hailed with pleasure by the
entire State.

go Tribune:
The Senate appropriation committee has
taken stand which may result in & deadlock
between the House and Senate. The Senate
committee has decided TO alter all the appropri-
alton bills SO as to make the appropriations
conform to the existing law. and will restore
all diplomatic and consular officers removed by
the House. The Senate will stand upon this
position, and. if there is deadlock, will throw
the responsibility upon the House.
They will make the appropriations con-
form to the existing law, will they? The
"existiug law is just what Congress makes
it at each session, and can be changed at
will by the appropriation bills themselves.
The pretense that there is law regulating
appropriations is a lame subterfuge, gotten
up to excuse extrayagant allowances to the
partisan pap-suckers of the Republican
organization. The people will see through
the device, and instead Of holding the House
responsible for obstructing business, will
condemn the Senate for its shameful disre-
gard of pledges and instructions.

says: Very little was done the past week as
far as the final sowing of wheat is concerned

quality and condition Of home offerings of

Despite this fact trade i. unusually dull. Mil
lers are not disposed to increase their stocks.
but independently of this the commercial at
mosphere of the country is ciouded by the
ruinous state of trade in majority Of the
districts, and distrust occasicned by heavy dis
abilities liz financial circles.
Shipments from St. Petersburg being now
practically ended and California supplies in the
distance, the attention Of trade will center
upon the action Of the Atlantic States, upon
whose judicious management of their large re.
sources the future course OF prices in this
country will chiefly depend. it must be adj
mitted that independently of possible political
contingencies any marked advance in the price
of wheat ia difficult to foresee, especial, as
there is SO little unemployed capital in the
country available for speculative purposes, but
on the other hand the probabilities of severe
winter is strong ally on the side of holders,
which justifes their abstention from pressing
sales at this moment and may raise values a
few shillings per quarter at no distant date.
