Getting Even.

During the last political cans
paign the Standard had a great
deal to say of E. S. McComas and
the Mountdin Sentinel. of Grand
,sonde Valley. But when the
investigating committee of the
late Legislature commenced its
work. McComas' day commenced
dawning. Now MAC" applies
the whip over Toney's shoulders
LIN other words the other man Is
using the whip-and the
Standard man has to ''grin and
bar it." McComas says Toney Is
"promiscrous certi6er,' and
Toney says nothing. Well no
body enjoys the fun more than
"Mac." does; and we will bet
bad shilling he earnestly believes
that time and the opportunity
impr owed; makes all things even
aud that be thinks that if this Is
not proven the case it will not be
his fault.

An Editor I'LL.

We regret to learn that Hon.
W. II. Newell editor of the Walla
Walla Statesman, Is seriously i'll,
and we sincerely hope for his ear
ly recovery. Let others say what
they will, the truth is w. Ii.
Newell has warm, sympathetic
heart tor his triel ds. and is un-
doubtedly tfe abelest newspaper
writer IN Washington Territory.
As a local writer and earnest
speaker in behalf of home inter-
ests, Mr.. Newell has but few if any
equals on tie coast, and should he
die it lie certain the people of the
territory OF Washington will miss
him, aud have reason to deplor e
their loss IN the death OF one
whose ability IS so much needed
in the formation OF the p roposec
new State. Friend Newell our
prayers are for you.

A Remarkable Difference.

Speaking of exports of the State,
the Oregon City Enterprise says
that tho shipment of grain this
year, with a short crop, will reach
two hundred thousand tons. This
is great difference with the time
when the then Governor, but now
Congressman, Whlteaker spoke
of the exports of the State in his
message as comprising ''soap,
socks and pickles" The one who
wrote of .Mister pogram" and
"Mrs. Hominy" left this much out
of his sketches in .Martin Chuz-
zlewit, but his spirit will rest in
peace when its owner realizes

LET US HAVE A DUEL OR TWO.

Ex-Se1aior Nesmith IS having
much space devoted to him by the
Portland Democratic ia; er.
Nesr1ith has written letter, IN
which he had much to say of the
Standard. Well. il is needless for
US to say much vf either the Stan
dard or Nesmith. The produc>
tions OF both are too peppery to
describe, and too personal TO IN.
terest only those directly concerns
ed. We will suggest, however,
that an end to the wordy war be
made by botn parties IN this way:
Let Mes have a long stocking,
and Toney be pro -ided with a
similar article. Then let t:em
both retire to private enclosure,
when the wind is blow ng right.
and settle 1t between themselves
alone. LII both put q stone IN the
stocking, like the irish woman
did, and Eeat each others bralns
out, it will then be their own
fault and no one se will be
bothered.
But Nesmlih and Noltner are
not the only ones thus engaged ;
there is newspaperial dispute
between DR.. Dawne and Syl. G.
Simpson, both welt known.
Dswne commenced he fight over
his wlfs's signature, ard Simpson
has written a correspondence un-
der the caption OF "Retaliation. .
There should be a duel follow
here, also. II called upon to
"settle the prellnlinaries," we
would arm the Doctor with hair
PIN and Simpson with a darnlng
needle, and require OF the Docto,
that he shall not under any CIR
cnmstances bring forth any wea>
pom that is used in midnight at
tacks or fisherwonen's fights.
Then let the battle rage to the ehd
without lnterrurtlon, and retalia
ton may be the watchword OF the
hour; and If one shall fall In the
affray, then the punishment of the
other shall pe-he shall write the
others obituary-not tor pub
lie use, but to file it away until
time and necessity find necessary
It's use, as reminder OF the good
done by both as mutual Destroy
ers of a public plague.

There is Such a Thing.

Whatever party has won in the
late State elections it makes but
little difference to outsiders, only
they don't want to hear those inter-
ested in the fight saying, "On
well, its the f year in politics,
and you cant judge what will fol-
low" We know the "off year
expression has been sterrofyped,
but there is such thing as one
becoming tired of something made
for constant use. [See Galley on

Mr.. EDITOR: Please allow me to run into
your columns just long enough to offer q
simple tribute to the noble generosity of the
brethren and friends of the Hopewell conf
munity. On Friday, 2lst ultimo, q large
number Of persons, from worthy grand ma
irons and aged grand sires to merest boys
and girls, met at Mr.. HamIn's. A we'll
laid plan was formed to surprise the pastor.
Pressed to reach the place Of assembly by
t,Do, but not knowing "what was up. he
allowed the morning rain to keep him at
home until the afternoon. Accompanied
by his better self he rode into the environ.
ments late, but early enough to see some of
the disappointed ones, to learn that multi
t,lde of valuable gifts were in waiting for US,
and that Mr.. Hamlin's speech of presenta-
ton remained unanswered. I will not stop
to express the deep regrets caused US by
failure to reach the pleasant place in time to
move among the happy throng, to answer
smile with srnile, and to answer that prese1,-
tation speech with few words of joyful and
grateful acceptance.
Ms. Carswell joins me in the expression
ofsincefe thanks to these thoughtful friends
for their timely and appreciated kindness.
The Lord reward. them according to their
desert, and &c. more abundantiy.
Affectionately the Pastor,

Several rousing pic mics are in prospect.
......Mr. D. 8. White, C most promising
young farmer, has body of Is acres Of cot
ton second to none in the Fork.....Large
congregations were in attendance upon di-
vine worship in the Presbyterian Church at
this place last Saturday and Sunday The
area devoted to corn this year is much
larger than that of last year, and at present
the prospect is fine....:Rev. Mr.. Riley, of
Walhalla, will preach in the Presbyterian
Church here ON, the second Sunday instant.
...... The institutions of this place at present
are'its Sunday Schools. That of the Bap-
fists has probably 125 members, while that
of the Presbyterians has about 80 members.
This disparity of members e attributable to
the numerical strength of tbs respective de-
nominations. Since these schools were
formed, which was during last winter, e
growing and generous rivalry has existed,
and SO long as such spirit is tempered by
sentiment of true Christian sympathy and
liberality it is well. Some time ago Matte
McCarley, ofthe Presbyterian School, mem.
orized 376 Bible verses in one week, and
shortly .afterward Mamie Tribble, of the
other School, recited AL Bible verses, which
she had committed to memory in period
of the same length, and now i have tore
port that Matte Is 81 verses ahead, she hav-
ing, on last Sunday, recited sos verses,
memori1ed during the previous week. /
must not forget to say that Some Msgee, of
