LEWISTON Sept. 25st, 1880.
Ed. TELLER.-I have read and pom
dered upon the many different opin-
ions set forth by writer's correspond
ing to the TELLER during the past
year and have concluded that either
the writer's are malicious fault finders,
trying to bring about a feeling Of i'll
will between merchant and trader, or
else the merchants of this city, if the
wrongs alleged against them be true,
are a class of men unworthy the title
of merchant. These reports going out
over the country through the medium
Of the TELLER, turn the tide of trade
to other quarters, and if this wrong
is done the merchant through false
stories he should bring the guilty par
ties 70 justice The people of the As
otin claim that Dayton merchants sell
on credit for less than the Lewiston
merchants sell for cash. Nails by the
keg and glass by the box is reported
as selling two dollars higher in Lewis
ton for cash than at Dayton on credit
and all other goods in proportion.
This was vonched for to-day on our
streets by gentleman from the AS;
otin who is about building residence
in his country and who had canvassed
Lewiston with the cssh in hand, end
because he could not buy as cheap her,
as in Dayton left our city for to trade
at the latter place. The merchants o.
DAYTON, Moscow and other adjoining
towns advertise the prices of thei
various staple goods and it is a paten
fact, that if egons, teams and crowd
of people are an indication, these cite
are rcaping the benefit of the trad
around US. How is it possible 70
these merchants in adjoining town
who have to freight their goods so far
to sell cheaper than the Lewiston me,
chants who receive their goods on tn
bank of the riverl l will simply col
sole myself by thinking that the Lew
: iston merchants are being belied an
that they don't care to advertise thei
prices because of their extrese moo
. esty. b.

Who ID killing Lewistoni

One fact is positive and that is that
Lewiston in point of trade and COM
mercial growth is daily falling behind.
We sec the marks of decay spreading
over her; let US examine into the cause.
We see the tide of emigration and
drift. of trade turning to other quarters.
We see sickly ndillorence among the
people here at home and lack of con-
lidence between her citizens. Let us
discover the bane and apply the anita
dote. Perhaps Lewiston is not favor
ably located for commercial transac
tons 1t is lie. Lewiston has her
freights deposited from the steamers
into the stores while Dayton merchants
freight their wares from Walla Walla
| How then can Dayton merchants sell
cheaper than those in Lewistonl Per
hsps they sre more expert as buyers.
Perhaps Dayton has better farming
country around it than has Lewiston.
This is false, for no better, richer or
prolific country surrounds any growing
city than the country about Lewiston.
Perhaps it is the grasshoppers and
poor crops that has thrown the pail Ji
silence over cur city. No it cannot
be, for the one-hfth crop we have re
allied in the small area Of the pla guc
stricken districts is better than th'
Weld of that section that pours her
treasures into Dayton. May be 1t Is
the ferry System here. No, that is 4
great mistake, ferries alone could not
blockade or keep swarm of anxious
buyers from crossing the rivers if good'
were offered at prices that challenged
competition. Were goods sold here
in this city even at prices advertise;
in Moscow or Dayton, the variety ant
large quantity of stocks of merchan
disc such as are kept in this city tC
select from would tempt the trade tc
come to u.s. 1t is HIGH PRICES theI
t that is killing this city. Think ant
redeem her if you can.

South east Idaho through their press,
have proposed that we unite with
them in the election of Representa-
tives to the Legislature who will favor
the removal of the capital from Boise
City to Blackfoot City, or some other
point in the eastern counties, and they
IN turn will give us their aid in going
to Washington and they intimate that
they will support candidate for dele
gate in Congress who will be favora-
ble to both Of these measures. If they
are sincere and from all that can now
be gathered from their two papers the
Blackfoot Register and tho Idaho
Enterprise, they are making the pro
position insood fathand in earnestness
to curtaildomination Of the central coun-
ties over the extremes. Why then it
is our bounden duty to ourselves and
to them that we stand in with them
and do what they propose and if we
fail Of success at this election, we will
be quite sure Of success at the next
subsequent election but KNOWN
! what we do Of the motives that con
trolled the nominations Of Ainslie and
Alanson Smith at Boise, if we tamely
acquiesce and vote for these men re
spectively, the Republicans for Smith
and the Democrats for Ainslie, then
the result of hat vote will be used at
Washington as evidence that we have
undergone a change of sentiment upor
the question Of goin. to Washington
and when Washington is admitted as 8
state North Idaho will be left out O
her state boundaries and we will plot
| on mere penal appendage of Idaho
with no prospect of hope in the future

pleasant yards, many of them year

it is the greatest factor of human
influence. 1t has set nations on
fire. kindled prosecutions, built
ca'hedrals, and is the very soul of
paganism as well as Christianity.
Although | have the Bible shut,

conscience without acme to which
it seeks to attain. The conscience
Of man tells no Munchausen tales,
but proclaims a mighty truth as
faithful as the migratory instincts
of the fishes or the birds. Plato.
Seneca, and our own converted
Emerson, proclaim the truth.
The poet Emerson, in converse
ton lately with friend of mine,
declared his belief in Gods per-
sonality, and the survival of the
soul after death. Herbert Spen-
Ger says conscience is a matter of
education; but that does not mat

liarly educated people are the
highest type. The fish and the
birds that resist the migratory in

simply CONCEAL and are frozen in
their unbelief. 1t is too late for
men with large views TO deny the
true significance of the existence
of conscience in man. AS Bryant's

1t is not every one who asks
himself this question, because,
strangely enough, 1t is the belief
of most persons that their lives
will be exceptionally lengthy.
However, life-assurance compa-
MES are aware of the credulous
weaknesses of those whose lives
they assure, and have therefore
compiled numerous tables of ex-
pectancy of life fer their guidance,
which are carefully referred to
before a policy is granted. The
following is one of these we'll au-
thenticated tables in use among
London assurance companies,
showing the average length of life
at various ages. In the first col
umn we have the present ages of
persons of average health, and in
the second column we are enabled
to peep, as it were, behind the
scenes of an assurance Office, and
gather from their table the num-
Der of years they will give US to
live. This table has been the re-
suit of careful calculation, and sell
dom proves misleading. Ofcourse,
sudden and premature deaths, IS
well as lives unusually extended,
occasionally occur, but this is a
table of the average expectancy
of life Of an ordinary man or wO-
man:
