The United States Government has
paid to England the five and half
million dollars damages awarded by
the Halifax commission for the British
fish that American fisherman caught
during the last hundred years off the
coasts of British America. 1t was
paid because the arbitrator said it
should be paid, and not because the
fish were worth that amount of money.
The U. S. government wishes it I'M
derstood that the amount awarded by
the Halifax commission cannot be I'M
derstood as furnishing a precedent or
fixing the value of benefits accruing
to her fishermen on the banks of New
foundland. 1t protests against the
actual payment being considered by
her majesty's government as acquies-
cence in any such measure.

Two weeks ago the LaGrande Gazette
gloated over the fact that three Indi-
ans were found hanging to tree by
the wayside. Again, Mr. s. H. Per-
shin, duputy U. S. surveyor, who is
well known to be reliable gentleman,
reports from Umatilla, where he is now
on duty, that number of ruthless out
RACES have been committed near there
recently upon Indians by white men.
Several have been murdered in a most
barbarous manner for no cause and I'M
der no pretext of justice, save the gen.
eral prejudice against their race. If an
Indian chances to get beyond the pro-
lection of the agency authorities, or
beyond the boundaries of the agencies,
he is almost certain to be shot down.
No quarter is shown and no care is
taken to distinguish between good and
the bad 1t is evident from these
reports, which are no doubt facts, that
the white men of Eastern Oregon are
following course that is sure to lead
to serious trouble with the Indians in
that section. Retaliation is second
nature in an Indian, his whole creed
in fact, and the whites are pretty sure
to reap a whirlwind out of the breeze
they are starting.

The following Indian news from the
Yakima and Kittitas country, we take
from the Goldendale San, but some of
it sounds like a Minnesota fish story:
Lately in the Kittitas valley an Indian
went to the house of white settler and
politely requested the white settler to
move, that the house was his. The set
tier refused, and the Indian started for
help, it is supposed. When he had
gone about 100 yards the settler shot
and seriously wounded him.
The murderers of the Perkins family
are supposed to be in the Kittitas val

rest them.
An Indian went into Father Viii

The hop growers of the Sound had a
sad experience the last year in the cul-

cultivating the crops with nine-tenths
of the growers has been entirely lost,
since the prices realized and likely

outlay for picking, and interest on
the value of land and improvements
used in the culture and preparation of
the crops for market. Many of them
cultivate little or no other crop.

The very wise fnanciers of England
made great buster and talked much at
the time Jay Cooks failure precipi-
tated the financial disasters of 1878,
accusing the Americans of things not
pretty to repeat, especially in view of
the present condition of financial affairs
in England, which, since the failure
of the Glasgow bank are exact repeti-
ton of her own financial crash of 1878.
In the New York Tribune of Nov. l6,
its London correspondent gives a
gloomy but graphic picture of financial
distrust in England since the Glasgow
bank failure, and says all the signs
which commonly precede great crash
are now observed. Private brokers de-
clare they are flooded with orders to
sell good stocks if they can be sold,
and that it is impossible to raise money
from banks for investment in undoubted
securities. Even upon consols loans
are made only as great favor, and
with unprecedented margins.
