TIME AS A PARTNER.


Time is the senior partner Of
avery mortal, and holds the ma
ior part Of the stock invested.
in a dumb way everybody takes
{ime as a partner; in q specific,
distinct, pronounced manner,
very few. Often the larger part
of life lies behind us before we
really begin to apprehend the
nature and probable results Of
this partnership.
Some people live wholly in the
present.. drawing slight wisdom
from the past, and letting the
future take care of itself; but as
life comprises the whole period
from life to death, such individ-
pals can hardly be said to live
at all. They are butterflies
ephemeral, gay creatures Of the
hour. Some live wholly in the
past. To them life is o 8memory-
a reminiscence-the present is
emptiness, the future vague
dream. 4 keen observer Of hu-
man nature places the telmina
tiOn Of growth in the individual
at that point where he lives more
in the past than in the present
or the future. He may ripen
after that time, but he will not
grow any more. Only when she
looked back was Lots wife
changed into salt.
We are to leave the things
ihat are past, and press forward
TO those that are before. Some
live wholly in the future; their
wealth, their enjoyment, their
GOOD time, is always coming,
5nd-it never comes. The past
holds nothing that they value,
the present is unsatisfactory,
but the future is full Of all they
desire.
To make the mostof this part
nership with time, we grasp the
whole Of life, living enough in
the past to draw from it all it
can teach as to cur present &C
tivities and Cur future guidance.
TO quote from Americas most
illu8trous orator, "there is no
way of judging the future but
by the past" and we study the
past only that we may command
the present and the future. Life
is continual change, evolution,
metamorphosis, transformation.
One day we are hedged in by
obstacles on every side, and see
no way to the accomplishment
of our plans, the realization of
our hopes, but some unforeseen
event occurs that changes every
thing, and a way is opened.
"Waiting is but giving time for
the subtle chemistries Of change
They who, in readiness and pa
tience, doing the present duty
with fidelity, wait the golden
opportunity, will sooner or later
surely come where it is waiting
for them. Those who wait not
idly, win. Time as a present
partner is what chiefly concerns.
One moment, one hour, one day
at a time, is all that is given us.
But if we keep the lines Of our
conduct parallel with the lines
of eternal rectitude-if eyermore
the activities of our moral and
intellectual natures carry US
forward and upward; if the trend
Of our lives is in the right direC-
tion-there is nothing to fear in
the future; for otherwise there is
everything to hope.-Ex.

TEMPEST IN 4 TEA POT.

For the past few days the people of this
particular locality have been at fever

the most alarming character, and while
nobody had been murdered, Yet every
body soon expected to he. Moses was on

to what Moses would and would not do
was somethin. astonishing Every other
man had theory, and no two theories

ever; for each man was convinced that
his neiyhbor WAS totally unreliable and
not worthy of the slightest attention.
.'For reliable information come to me;

that all Indian sharps who make their

Their fate would be a pleasant one to

that Moses at the head of his warriors
has taken the war path, the situation
assumes formidable aspect, and the near
future is fraught with impending disaster
An Indian war at this time viii result in
incalcuable injury to the country, the
bli.htins effects of which VIII remain for
years, and the era of prosperity now
about 10 dawn upon us will beind, imitely
postponed. The evils that follow cannot
be masnited- they viii hang about

destroying the seeds of that brilliant
career which at this time appears So near
at hand We want peace. But it must
not be had at the expense Of the White
man his interests are paramount to the
insolent claims Of the Indians. Aperma-
nent peace can be only secured III one
way. The Indians must be made to feel
the strong arm Of the government they
must be taught the white man has SOME
rights that even an Indian ought to be
compelled to respect The history of the
settlement. of the United States is the
record OF continuous Indian wars. The
whites and heir red brethren hal never

Between them there has been All " irre-
pressibie conflict" " With the one it has
been murder, and with the other extirmi-
nation. What has taken place In other
communities will surely be repeated here
1t is a settled fact that the Indian and the
white man cannot both occupy the saline
country One must 90; and from the
days of Plymouth Rock to the present
the red man has been compelled to retreat.
Realizing this, the government has been

have failed, and it is too late to renew
the Worn ont experiments of a century
ago, when Penn sought to molify his red
brethren with cheap article of calico,
couple with a desire to lmpart religious
instruction. When war Is iIauguraied,
let force sufficient be sent into the field
So that at the end of the campaign there
will be no more occasion for future
alarms Let the blow when struck be
decisive and one blow should he all that
is Necessary General Howard should de
mand an increased force and obtaining it,
place the entire army under his command
Immediately into the field He should be
prepared for every emergency, and So dis
tribute his forces that the enemy cannot

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, December 9TH ]

WASHINGTON, December 9th 1873.
EDITOR STAsEsMAN The House on yes
terday, the second day of the session, passed
two apprpriation bills-t the Fertilization bill
amounting to S275.0O0, the same as last
year, and the West Point bill, amounting to
about 100000. There was no opposition
and but little discussion. The Appropriation
Committee Will have It's bills ready as fast
as the House can take care OF them. On
the larger ones there will OF course be debate,
but everything so far indicates a working
rather than talking session. Even Sena-
tor Blaine's resolution as to the intimidation
Of voters, which comes up to-day, will
probably pass with little or no discussion
The democrats will attempt to secure
amendments, but seem disposed not to IN
sist upon them. Senator Thurman and per-
haps one Southern Senator Will make short
speeches. Many bills on financial subjects
have been presented, but it becomes clearer
every day that none of them will even re-
celve consideration until after the fixed day
for resumption, January lst.
Secretary Sherman prepared and had
submitted to the House and Senate the bills
providing for the issue by Government Of
certificates for $40 and larger amounts,
bearing interest at $50 per cent. and con-
vertable within year into per cent bonds.
This will have the earnest support nj Secre-
tary Sherman and other members Of the
Cabinet
The interest of Yes er,lay's session was
almost confined to the speech of Senator
Stanlly Matthews in support of the bill in
AID OF the Texas K Pacific Railroad. Mr..
Matthews Is pleasant speaker, had 4 sub-
Ject Just now attracting attention through
out the country and was attentively listened
to throughput. He cla med that the con-
tenplatet~ all would result Ill great and
eneral benefit, would not cost the Govern
ment dollar, and was not a subsidy. The
ablest men in the Senate will be heard Oh
this subject The friends Of the measure
y,ry SaDguine.
General Sherman and Quartermaster Gen
eral MeiSs yesterday gave their opinion at
length on the subject OF the Indian Bureau
transfer. General Meig is All officer of ex,
perience and sense, and has the confidence
of Congress to as great an extent, perhaps,
as any other man living. His opinion will
have great weight He thinks the transfer
will be beneficial to both races. General
Sherman favors it also. The proposed
change is certainly growing in favor espec
tally since Secretary Schurz says it is i'm
possible for his Department to take care o
the Indians without 4 great deal more money
and without saddiing upon the country {;
new and numerous class Of office holders
1t is safe to predict that Government money
viii not be spent as loosely iii the next fen
years as i'll the past, aud that the Secretary
will soon be laughed at, who proposes to III
crease the already absurdly large number oi
officials. REX.

WANTED.-Several hundred gentlemen
who imagine they have 4 peculiar talent
for the newspaper business can find I'M
mediate and lucrative employment at this
office. Those with scrap books preferred.
Should any, however. be So unfortunate
As not t" possess one Of these almost in
dispensible articles, knowledge of the
art of handling a pair of shears will be
considered as an equivalent. As all
their writings will be submitted to a
board Of learned men for revision and
correction, no previous schooling in either
srammer or or;hography is necessary.
All that is demanded Of the applicants, is
that they be possessed Of thorough be-
lief that no newspaper can be made suc-
cess without their assistance. We think
that Walla Walla, at this time, can SUP
ply the demand But So much talent di-
verted from the pleasant and agreeable
occupation of street corner loating NAV
detract somewhat from the appearance of
our public streets. The public good,
however, demands the sacrifice.
