$500 REV ARD -
An Argument as Fresh. p intsd and
Pow erful as a Blade of Grass.
THE AUTHOR PENS AND POSTS 1T AT
NIGHT AND SHUNS HIS FELLOW
CITIZENS BY DAY BECAUSE HE.
Is FOND COB DEBATE"

He uses "hog" argument in an
swer to high prices, exorbitant ferriage
and repulsion of enterprise, by insin-
uatine that the pig pen is stronger than
the s,rdrd.
Here is the argument:
$500 reward for signers to petition to
give away the water front and rob the poor
farmers by charging 81 per ton extra for
storage. Come one, come all to the rescue. ia
When the farmers ask for free
bridge to Lewiston, the above reward
is the cowardly answer and argument
Of a few who are trying to throttle
Lewiston and who are represented by
a man whose face can be seen all
through the above poster. When the
farmer asks for storchouse in Lewis
ton to sore his produce till the arrival
of the steamer, the above reward is
the cowardly answer of the clique as
represented by this same cowardly
man. When the farmer asks to pur-
chase goods as reasonable in Lewiston
as they are sold in Moscow or Anatone
this is the towards answer by this
cowardly man. What idea does he
attempt to convey? Ills the perversion
cf the following:
The railroad company purposed to
build storehouse and bridge across
the river for the accommodation of
! the farmers who have to cross the fey
ry. All the railroad company ask is
the privilege of expendine their Own
money for the accommodation of the
farmer and the enterprise of the city
But no, this same Clique, represented
| by this same cowardly man, prevails
upon the four councilmen to say no
In this ''reward midnight scheme" OF
this cowardly man he misrepresents
or tries so to do by saying that The
farmers would have to pay 81 per to,
for storage, where in truth we are as
sured that no storage would be charg
ed, except for goods left there over p
hours. Show me the generous man il
Lewiston who will store Il hushel o
grain for the farmer for "a hours with
out demanding the grain.
These triangular intellccts with th'
acute angle in front will no doubt fol

up. Another way would be to let the
merchants buy one of the ferries, or
rent it by the year and run free ferry
that would look up the interest OF
Lewiston. X.
This is very good suggestion and
in it are some good ideas and if acted
upon might be of great benefit to all
concerned.

composes this council; who it is that
are afraid of having high prices at

&c. One of them is boot and shoe

another has a saddler store, and the

LEWISTON, June 6, 1880.
LELAND, EDITOR: Tell every man
in your paper who wants bridge to
build it himself. We're satisfied with
the ferry. If the prices in Lewiston
don't suit the hay makers of the north
ern country, or the Assotin fellow why
let them go some other place and trade.
We made money here before they found
Anatone or Moscow and can make it
yet. If they would keep out of Lewis
ton we wouldn't need any court house
better than the one we got. If Voll
mer wants a railroad to his house let
him build it, but don't ask Lewiston
to give him the river bank to build q
store house on to charge us what suits
him for receiving our freight

MARRIAGE.-The foundation Of every
good government is the family. The
best and the most prosperous country Is
that which has the greatest number OF
happy firesides. The boliest institu-
tiOn among men is marriage. Il has
taken the race Of countless ages to come
up to the condition of marriage. With
out IL there would be no civilization, no
human advancement, no life worth liv-
ing. Life is failure to any woman
who has not secured the love aud adora-
tion of some grand and magnificent
man. Life is a mOckery to any man,
no matter whether he be mendicant or
monarch, who has not won the heart OF
some worthy woman. Without love
and marriage, all the priceless joys OF
this life would be as ashes on the lips OF
the children Of men. "You had better
be the emperor OF one loving and tender
heart, and she the empress Of yours,
than to be the king of the world. The
man who has really won the love Of one
good woman in this world, il matters
not though be lie in the ditch begyar.
his life has been a successu There is
heather book which SAYS: "Nan is
strength, woman Is beauty; man is
courage, woman is love. When the
one man loves the one woman, and the
one woman loves the one man, the very
angels leave heaven and come down and
sit In that house aud sing for joy."-

DAMASCUS. - Damascus has been
ruined by the opening Of Suez Canal.
The overland trade both Oriental aud
European, by caravan with Baglad and
Persian Gulf has been diverted to the
water way. The competition Of India
aud China In silk aud sesame seed
through the canal has sensibly affected
the value Of these products; the late
discovery Of RlazETine has rendered val
ueless the cultivation Of madder for ex-
port and the diversion OF large numbers
Of M0slem pilgrims from all parts Of the
East, who had hitherto made Damascus
their point Of arrival aud departure,
with much profit to the city, to the sea
route by the canal, has contributed in
10 small degree 10 its downward prog
ress. House rent has declined thirty
and fifty per cent, aud large numbers
OF empty houses ia every part Of the
city indicate the general decline. The
streets are filed with begEars, huth
Moslem aud Christian, aud that, too, in
city where eighteen months ago 4
beggar was a rarity. The more elevated
districts of Lebanon, which formerly
contributed the principal portion of
mendicants during Winter months. have
this year sent double the number To
swell the amount Of local indigencs.
The far-famed eye Of the East is now
dull aud lustreless.

A RAINY DAY.
BY ELLA WHEELER.

How tired one grows OF a rainy day,
FOR rainy day brings back so much;
Old dreams revive that are buried away,
And the past comes back 70 the sight and
touch.
And the rain falls down with ceaseless beat
We tire OF our thoughts, as we flfe OF a song
Ihat over and over is played In the street.
When woke this morning, and heard the
or tie Iain-drops over the tall eimsl leaves
was carried back. in a lightning fash,
To the dear old home, with the sleping caves
And you and !, In the garTet high,
Were playing again az hlde-and-seek:
And bright was the light Of your laughing eye
And rich the glow Of your rounded cheek.
And again was nestled in my white bed
Under the caves, and hearing above
The feet Of the rain-steeds over my head.
While / dreamed sweet dreams Of you, my
love.
Love, my lover, with eyes OF truth
o beautiful love Of the vanished years
There Is no other love like the love OF youth
say it over and over with tears.
Wealth and honor and fame NAV come
They cannot replace what is taken away;
Ihere Is no other home like the ehildhOodi
No other love like the love OF May.
Though the sun is bright in the midday skies
Ihere cometh an hour when the sad hear
With lonely wall, like a lost chiId's cry.
For the irundle-bed and the slopng caves. .
When, with vague unrest and nameIegs pain
We hunger and thirst for "a voice and toucL
Ihat we never on earth shall know agafn-
On! rainy day brings back 30 much.
