A DISPATCH from Washington says: The
cabinet in session October 4th, approved the
letter of the attorney general giving an opin-
nion that the Utah and Oregon railroad Co.
can pass through the Bannock Indian reser-
vation. The treaty with the Bannocks is
not recognizrl~as law of congress, which
is considered superior to it, aud gives the
company the right to follow the prescribed

ENGLAND's GRAIN REoUIREMENr.-Ihe
London Pail Mall Gazette of September
9th, furnishes information interesting to
wheat growers and shippers on this coast,
to this effect: /" Mr. Card has calculated
that We shall require some 13,COO,0OO
quarters of wheat from foreign countries
this year to supplement- the deficiency IN
our home production This seems hkeiy
now to be an under estimate. But taking
even these figures, the outlook, in face OF
falling export trade and general dePres-
sion in every branch of business, Is grave
enough. At the current market price
such an import OF wheat will certainly not
represent less than ESQ. .000,0OO Thus
for one article of food alone We shall be
paying at the rate of nearly 81 per head
Of the population to foreign growers. No
doubt we obtain the supply far cheaper
than if We attempted to grow it at home,
even if so large amount could be prohta-
bly, grown at all on these islands But 1t
is certainly a serious matter for us that
our principal sources of supply-America
and Russia-should show an increasing
disinclination to be paid for their food IN
our manufactures. The protectonist
policy which has almost destroyed our
iron and cotton trade with the United
States has no doubt been disadvantageoes
to that country, but it most certainly has
also been damaging to us. We have now
to pay for our food import from America
out of profits made in other directions
instead of by the interchange of produc-
ton"

Will be expected OF us 20 gave di SStiiii"'S
Of his scilaracter and ability. Our acqualnt-
auce with Mr. Brentz commenced when
he was mere boy, riding an express be-
tween Tie Dalles and Canyon City. At
that time the Indians all along the road
we're on the warpath, and although nearly
every trip Tom made he brought US news
Of men. women and children being muir
dered, he was lucky enough to save his
scalp. When the express boy used to
come in and relate to us the details of his
marvellous escapes, and how he outrun
the sayages, we used to mentally exclaim
that "Tom was not born to be shot, but
we never dreamed of his being saved to
run for congress. "Truly the ways OF
providence are inscrutable." "
OF BreniZs career since Re reached
manhood and drifted into politics, We
cannot speak so favorably. Upon the or
gan!zation of Grant county, he received
from Gov. Gibbs the appointment Of conn
ty clerk, and it was under his administra-
ton of the Office that what is still remem-
bcrcd as the :. Grant county fraud" was
pcrpatrated This fraud consisted in
throwing out certain strong democratic
precincts, ard in that way electing repub-
lican members of The legislature and re-
publican county officers. That fraud was
50 clear and palpabIe, that a republican
legislature annul!-d The returns and seat
Cd the democratic members. The case of
tie county officers was heard before Judge
Joe Wilson, and Ill passing upon the fraud
that learned jurist, republican as he was,
characteriz d it as The most unblushin@
on recoid. The republican officials, by
Judge Wilson'S mandate, were turned
out, and the democrats installed in the
places to which they We're rishtfplly elect
ed What makes this whole affair look
especially bad, IS the fact that Mr. Brent2
returned himself 10 the legislature, and
thus sought 10 take advantage of his own
fraud. We revive this matter for the
reason that it is sure to enter into the
canvass, and it is right that voters should
know the character and an,ecedents OF the
men who ask their support.
OF lIr. Brentz's career since he acquired
a residence in this county, it is not neccs-
sary that We speak i'll detail \ lawyer
of fair ability, he has maintained a res
pectahle standing at the bar and been
employed in many eases of Importance
His difficulty with Judge Lewis, and hi.
suspension from the practice of the law,
our readers are familiar with. In thai
controversy the parties became heated
and I~ssibly there was wrong on botl
sides. We accordingly dismiss that ali..:il
as not likely to figure in the canvass.

BRITISH COLUMBIA AND ENGLAND. The
movement recently made in British Co
lumbia towards withdrawing from the
Dominion is not fayorably received IN
England, although the feeling is that the
colonists Of the Pacific coast have much
canse for complaint. And at the same
time it is clear that the bare conjecture
that British Columbia viii at some distant
day desire to sunder the bonds of ale
giance to the mother country and become
"a portion of the United States is diSquiet-
ing. Referring to the subject, the fah

The WAR N fND:a To CONE.-War
seems perpetual upon the earth. Stamped
out in one country, it breaks forth In
another, and similarly ii acts with con
tinents. The great war between Russia
and Turkey has ceased in Europe, bnt the
minor hostilities in the conquered and
apportioned proinccs of the dismembcred
Porte against Austria, to which power
Bosniai is assigned, and in Greece against
Turkey, demonstrates that the war spirit
is still unsurpassed And now the flame
is upon the point of bursting out in Asia,
between British India and the native
state of Afghanistan. The trouble with
the Ameer Of Cabul has reached the ex-
tIemity which percipitates war, at present
viewed as inevitable. If it shall not lead
to clash of Russian arms with English,
it viii he fortunate. The Indications all
point that way. Should it come, then
will it be clnss;.l strugylefor the mastery
Of India.

Morrilton Dollar: "We are not surprised that Bob. Johnson wants to be the next United States Senator, as that would give him a fine opportuni- to again join his much preferred friends in Washington. He once preferred them to the home and friends of his youth and the men who had shaped his character and made him q man of some promise. We are not surprised at all that he desires to join his fashionable friends in the capacity of U. 5 Sena tor. The man who deserts the people of Arkansas when intellect and experience" were most needed and preferred selfish abandonment. rather than help his people what he could, certainly ought not. ana surely will not receive the highest gift in the hands of the people.

An Astonishing Fact.

large proportion of the Amercan people are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of intelligent and valuable people is most alarming, making life. actually a bnrden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as 1t ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudioe and skepticIsm, take the advice of drug gists and your friends, and try one bottle of Greens August Flower. Your speedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try it's virtues, with satisiac- tory results in every case. You can buy sample bottle for 10 cents to try. three doses will relieve the worst case. Positively sold by all Druggists on the Western Continent. For sale by J. NJ. Ilarkey S Bro.

Re-Opening a ThOroughfare.

In order to guard against results ut terly subversive of health, it is abso- lutely essential that the grand thor oGghfare or avenue of the system, the bowels, should be re-opened as speedily as possible when they become obstruct- ed. If they are not, the bile is misdi- rected into the blood the liver becomes torpid; viscid bilious matter gets into the stomach, and produces indigestion {; headaches ensue, and other symptoms are produced, which q prolongation of the exciting cause only tends to aggra- vate. The aperient properties of Hos tetter's Stomach Btters constitute a most useful agent in overcoming con- striction of the bowels, and promoting regular habit of body. It is infinitely superior to the drastic cathartics fre- qnently used for the purpose, since it does not, like them, net violently, but produces d natural, painless effect, which does not impair the tone of the evacuatory organs, which it invigorates instead of weakening. The stomach and liver, also, indeed the entire sys- tenn, is strengthened and regulated by it.

Rev. J. l.. Denton, Superintendent of Puhhc Instruction, has entered upon the duties of his office, and al. ready given encouraging indications .Aof the vigor and zeal with which lie will administer that highly import ant department of the government. He has fitted up a handsome office in the Dsan Adams Block, just west of the State House on Markham St, where he will be giad to see all who may have busi. ness of any kind in connection with school matters.
 Mr. Denton is arranging and methodizing the business of his de- partment, and we are glad to know that he will make his office q vaIua- ble and efficient adjunct of our pub lie school interests.

 We are pleased to see that our new Superintendent is entering upon his duties so zealously and energeti- cally, and all friends of common schools will join us in wishing hm 6 most fruitful harvest from his h. bors. We have no interest of great CT importance to our State than our School interests. It is to be earn estly hoped that the people of the whole State will cordially co operate with Superintendent Denton in working up our common school in terests. Especially should school officers, teachers and the Press of the State, join their efforts to his to arouse an interest in our Public Schools, and to bring the masses up to higher appreciation of the value of gooo common school system. We want the system not alone in name, but we want and must have it put into actual and effective opera tion. We feel certain that our pres ent State SaDerintendent appreci ates the importance of his charge, and that he will do his whole duty. Let the Press, the School officers, the teachers, and the people do theirs.
