The Shoe and Leather Reporter thinks
the business outlook is bright, but says: The
efforts OF agitators to disturb the peace Of
society on the pretense of solctude for the
welfare Of the laboring classes, are undoubt-
edly retarding, in some degree, the restora-
tion of the country to prosperity. The ma
tional wealth has been so prodigi0usly aug
mented within the last two years that, If
peace and order were assured, the advent of
an epoch OF great and profitable thrift could
not be much longer delayed. If the good
sense OF the people is equal to the prompt
and vigorous suppression of these blatant
fomenters of discontent-whose evil coun-
sells are most damaging to the men whom
they profess so much regard for-this Repub-
lie will enter upon career of afluence so
all pervading that the humblest citizen, if
only he be honest and industrious, will be-
come happy sharer in it.

CAUSE OF THE INDIAN OUT.
BREAK.

correspondent of the Idaboan,
whiting from Rocky Bar. in Idaho Ter
ritory, attributes the outbreak of the
Bannocks to whisky and poker. Ban
3 mock Johns son. wild, young and
quarrelsome Indian, had been drinking
and gambling, and. having lost every
thing. he got. mad and desperate and
persuaded another Indian to go with
him to Silvey's camp, where they killed
two men. This created row among
the Indians. there being war party
and a peace party. They finally
divided the peace men going back to
the reservation and che war party going
with Buffalo Horn. who had PRIOR to
..she murder of the two white men been
informed by an officer at Fort Hall that
B, the whole tribe would be beld responsi-
BILE for outrages committed by individ,
nal members. Buffalo Horn argued
that. since they would be held RESPONSE
BILE for what occurred and would be
severely punished. they might as well
start on the war path and get some
horses. They then drove Silvey's
horses into corral, took all
they could manage. and sho.
those they could rot. and
then started for Snake river. The cor
respondent says there are only twelve
/. lodges of the hostiles, averaging eight
or nine to the lodge, most of them
young bucks, and that all the hostiles
would not number 200. He says the
war feeling is not general, and only q
few Bannocks and Snakes will take
part in general war; that they are
more on the steal than fight; that they
can be easily whipped; that they had
three or four big sprees on Camas
Prairie, and that has been the principal
cause of tee outbreak This is the story
told by Major Jim and half-breed in-
terpreter as it Was told them by peace-
able Indians, who fnyther state that the
hostiles have all left Big Camas and its
neigh borbood, and that life and prop
erty is as safe there asanywhere.
This information is probably correct.
and it is very likely that al the Indians
now on the War path are south of the
Owyhee river, and west OF the Winnie
mucca and Idaho stage road.

THE OREGON ELECTION

Exchanges from Eastern Oregon,
which arrived here last night, say it is
by no means certain that the Rep1 b Ii
Gun candidate for Governor is elected
There 10 no doubt whatever of the
election of John Whiteaker, Democratic
candidate for Congress, by a majority
of at least 500, The Legislature is also
Democratic by majority of from s to
IL on JOINT ballot, thus insnring the
election of a Democrat to succeed
HiRpell- Mitchell as United States SEN
ator. The vote for Governor is very
close, and probably cannot be decided
before the official count is made.
There were several precincts in Grant
county TO hear from when the Canyon
CIty lines, which arrived last night
Was pa lIshed. aud the result in that
conptJ was then unknown, though the
times, which is politically neutral, con-
ceded the election Of the whole Demo.

The SILVER QUESTION.

The London Times, in a financial ar.
ticle, shows that the proposition to re-
monetize silver has nothing to do with
projects for unlimited paper issues,
and that If the United States should de :
cree silver as the sole lawful money OF
the country, it is doubtful il bond
holders would iase much by the
change. At the present pIice OF silver
the difference woait ouly be seven aud
a half per cent, and At is not to be sup
yeeed That the difference would remain
80 great a single day, as If silver were
remouetized We should probably see it
