Mr.. SENATOR WISDOM.-This Republican
politician is decorous lump of bigotry
and yindictiyenesS. His first manifesto
tons after the war were so civil and neatly
attired that one of the most genial and cour-
teous gentlemen we know fairly "took to
him." and his prevailing opinion was that
Mr.. WINDOW was marvellous proper
gentleman" But the Senator has not worn

ed Until ne came down to a level with Gen.
crai HOWARD, and finally to one greatly be-
low him, and we are at last compelled not
only to differ widely from our friend who
"took 10 him." but to declare that Senator
WINDOW is nothing but a hypocri'ical phi
lanthropist and unauthorized and vindic-
tive bigut. That's what he is.

up, but edited by man OF limited expe-
rience in frontier life, or he would not
write as he does. He shows grit, and
when his wire edge is worn oil Will be
worthy OF more attention. Our objection
is based solely ON an article, " BE careful
down there, in which the people OF
Walla Walla are charged with endeaTorins
to create another Indian excitement, for
the express purpose Of proftlng by the
benefits that the editor thinks must possi-
bly, accrue to u.s. He also thinks 1t Is
done for the other object OF preventing
immigration from travelling IN their di-
rection, and lot more similar trash that
no editor of any experience amongst peo-
pie whom he is supposed to represent
would FOR a moment entertain All this
is simple mons ense and only serves as
mark for ridicule, at the same time We
give the editor the benefit OF doubt that
he might III his young town be hard up
FOR an item and consequently wrote 1t Tor
want of something better to enlarge upon
If he will examine our papors for the last
few weeks he will find that We have had
several splendid opportunities TO create
first class Indian excitement, notably the
affair of Thorpe and the recent killing OF
the renegades and rescue of the prisoners
he had arrested. Had we desired war
lust thinl; of the construction We could
haze placed upon that single occurrence
Why, we could have set the whole coun
try on fire had we wished but instead of
that the editor OF this paper who was over
in III. Yakima at the time ard c:me across
Tharpe % mics from house, heard the
first news :rom his own lips, took him 10
Yakima City and al 3 o clock the follow
ing morning started on IL Journey OF 100
miles solely to prevent any excitement,
While dong it we got smashed up Ill
wagon, led Il horse 10 miles, waGed Il
river and after all got Into the Dalles
ahead of all news that had been sent SIX
hours ahead of us, sent our dispatches to
the press, Gen Howard and Gov. Ferry,
and arrived in Walla Walla on the Thurs
day following making go miles without
rest, just for the very purpose of.prevent-
ins what this editor charges our people at
large as trying to precipita.e. We can
say that the people have too much sense
30 wsh for another war 1t Is dead
less to the community every time, no
matter how much ANY contractor may de
s:re II. We ict the Young editor off easily
this time that with the advice that h
give his subject always little thought
and consideration before branding a COM
mnnity like o'rs with being worse than
horse thieves or day light robbers. We
have forgotten more about Indians and
their excitements that cur writer ever
probably viii know, So We conclude with
the advice he has gwen WaIIa Wal!a
