The Country Press.

We have lately seen clipping going
the rounds of the interior press setting
forth the many difficulties of publishing
a country weekly paper. While there
was great deal of truth in the article
referred to, we think that it hardly told
the ''whole truth" There WIS 40 men
ton of the many disageeable accidents
that happen among the compesitors, the
lack of type, and the nCn-arrival of the
source of most editorial id-as-exchances.
In small towns everybody knows every
body, and ten chances to one everybody,
is related to everybody, directly or indi
rectly 4 first class shooting scrape oc-
ours, the editor sharpens his Faber for a
full account of it, when influential
friends" of the belligerents come to the
sanctum and announce that the item must
be suppressed What is the poor editor to
do! To persis. in heralding to the world
that Jack Buckshot severely wounded
Bill Bowie would result in the ''infiuen-
tial'' men taking their lads ont of the
paper, and in their going about from
store to saloon, getting their acquaint-
ances to stop their subscriptions. He
must meekly comply, and blunt his
sharpened pencil with hackneyed edi
toriaI on ''The Resources of Oregon"
All subjects of public Importance must
be coque:ted with Tor as all such ques-
tons have at least two sides, to be found
championing any one Of them would be
at the risk of making enemies of all the
readers of contrary opinions. If farmer
Barleycorn gets local puff on his big
turnips, farmer Pommedeterre grows
green with jealousy and forthwith stops
his paper The editor of country paper
scarcely dares mention a dog fight,
through fear of hurting the sensitive feel
ING of one or both of the canine proprie-
tors. He must eschew everything that is
susceptible of difference of opinion and
throw all his talent into editorials up
braiding Hayes for vetoinS the Chinese
restriction bill, or into articles on his
county's fertility and universal pre-emi-
nencc.-S Standard.
There is a great deal of truth in the
above editorial, but We have our opinion
of an editor" who is biased by personal
feelings when he hides instead of publish
ing interesting items of news Our expe-
rienee has proved that no ne1spaper eEer
loses even at tue start by suppressing such
items as the Standard mentions All
through the American people is strong
current Of fair play which will support
any editor who does his duty irrespective
of party or personal feeling.

aprlvate letter from very influential gentle
man i'll the laklmau country speaks for
itself:
"We are still annoyed with the ever
lasting Indian question. Wilbur has now
betrayed the people as bad as Moses did.
Pledgin" his word and honor to us that he
would hold Moses until disposed of by the
department at Washington, and after the
sheriff had made two or three demands
Tor Moses on warrant, Wilbur then
smuggled the old Indian out and sent him
back to his hunting ground on the Column

We think WE have been badly deceived
and deluded, besides we think this is
not the time to turn the old chieftain
loose, but rather to keep him in close con-
hnement Entil Indian affairs are settled.
tie says tha. Moses agreed to return in
thirty days, and then would be sent to
Washington &c. We have warrant for
the arrest of Moses, aud have evidence
sufficient to make him accessory to the
murder OF Perkins, and We think it be-

look for trouble this summer"

Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, d. C., February &c, 1879.
On yesterday the last appropriation bill
(the Legislative and ekecutiye) passed the
house. Few If the important ones are
through the senate, but they have all but
this last one received consideration in
Committee, and may readily be passed by
the senate in the remaining fve days Of
the session. Bat two facts are important
in this connection, and may prevent the
final passage of the bills, and make an
extra session necessary. First, both
houses have added to the bills legislation
which Is held by many in each house to
be improper on an appropriation bill
Second, the senate has enormously IN
creased the amount proposed in every ap-
preparation bill received from the house.
If conference committees can arrange the
differences resulting from this action, We
shall escape an extra session.
What the senate will most strenuously
object to is the addition by the house to
the Legislative bill of clause repeating
the Infamous supervisor Law. This was
accomplished and the bill passed by the
house yesterday. To prevent final action
on the measure yesterday, the radicals
had agreed to refrain from voting, know
ing that the democrats, owing to the alb
senee Of members, had not a quorum
present. But enough republicans vated
to make, with Speaker Randalls vote, an
exact quorum, and the repeal was voted
This is the second time that Speaker
Randall, in affairs of grave Importance to
the sonth, has become her most cOnspicu-
Gus champion and efficient friend On
both occasions, too, his services We're .in
the direct interest Of constitutional gov
ernment and the equality of the people.
Among the incidents connected with
the debate on the supervisor repeal
measure was sharp debate between Gar
field and Banning. The former had re-
peated stale charge that representa-
tive district in Cincinnati had been car
ried in 1876 by the democrats by means
Of "repeaters." General Banning, in a
spirited manner, resented this, and
claimed and proved that on fair vote
:he majorities in the Cincinnati districts
would have been larger than they We're.
The UnfalrneSS of Garfield dld much TO
consolidate the democratic vote for re-
peal
The senate yesterday settled finally
the South Carolina senatorial election
question. Mr. Corbin was an applicant
for the seat into which MIR. Butler was
voted year ago by radical senate.
The vote yesterday was thirty-six in favor
of Senator Buffers right to twenty FIVE
for Corbin.
To the post Office appropriation bill the
senate, as stated in previous letter, has
added pay for carrying the mails to Bra
lillian ports by two lines of American
steamships. The latest indications are
that the house will accept this, there be-
ing an evident change of opinion among
congressman on the subject REX

GRAIN PROSPECTS. From all onr hills
and valleys we hear sangninc predictions
of oyeraowing granaries the next harvest.
We have interviewed a score Of farmers
and they all say that their gram looks
very well There is 10 show here for Il
failure of crops Tie worst seasons the
country ever had the grain averaged %
bushels to the acre. The rather late
spring is very good thing for the fruit
crop, as it retards the development OF the
buds and so prevents the frost from kill
ing them. We have figured upon the
matter and can see that no less than one
million five hundred thousand bushels Of
wheat will be ready for expectation after
next harvest

A CoyTEMrTIBLE SwINDLING Plot.-Thc

SMOK- is a great mis-
take in the minds of our citizens in rela-
tion to this Indian. He is not a chief.
but is the chief exponent of the peculiar
religious views of the Indians-recJgniz-
ing Supreme power, and believing that
they-the Indians-are fixtures Of the
soil where they were born and reared,
and that the innovation of the whites Is
violation of the supreme law. He has
been known, in years past, by FIVE differ
ent names-Smok- hal lah, Watts kie, Big
Talk on -Four Mountains, The Dreamer
and The Prophet. AT different times for
many years past, the beating of drums
and other noises made in the Indian
camps along the Columbia and Snake
rivers were regarded as war demOEstra-
tions. when they were simply their relig-
iouS demonstrations Smok hal -lah con-
tended that there was no more improprl-
ETY. in these demonstrations than We make
in the ringing of large bells and other
demonstrations made ut our revivals.
The failure of the policy of giving the In
dianS in charge of the different churches
has had the effect of confirming them IN
the correctness Of their original beliefs.
Many other Indians, seeking to WELD In
t1uence with their people, are now follow
ing up Smok-hal- lah's views and prac.
tices. The views of General Howard and
Governor Ferry are correct in endeavor-
ing to send this Indian east that he may
be enlightened to the extent that upon
his return he could promulgate his change
of views to his followers, which embrace
the majority of all the tribes in this part
of the country.
