Carr. PUrNUN has been installed as
Postmaster for some time now, and makes
. very good Postmaster. Mr.. Nawter
leaves the Office with the good wishes Of
every one in the city and county. Dur
ing his administration he has ever per-
formed his duties with the highest honor
and integrity, and in spite of the onerOus
and multifarious duties attached to the
Office we have never heard a single word
derogatory to his well known character
for sturdy honesty. Mr.. Vawter is s
credit TO Walla Waiia county, and he can
return to other pursuits with the assur
ance that the sovereign people are con-
yinced that he has performed his duty
well and faithfully.

n. r..t. n the Case.

We aotice in Chicago paper some cor
rspondence from Colfax speaking very
highly of the Palouse country and refer
ring in a slightly unfavorsble manner Ia
the circular issued by the Oregon I'm
provement Company, proposing to charge
a rental from occupants OF the lands pur'
chased by that Company.
The circular issued BY the .. /. Co. was
rendered necessary from the fact that
parties on railroad lands who had failed to
nav for the same in compliance With
notice of ninety days given by the North
ern Pacific Company, hcd, under wrong
representations, pushed forward improve
ments, looking to payment for the same
by tie Improvement Company, when
claiming the lands. In some cases new
settlers had been led TO purchase these
improvements under the belief that they
would pass into possession OF the lands and
gain some show OF title.
There was a general distrust OF the
North Pacific title to these lands. until pur-
chased by the Improvement Company,
many declining to come forward and pay
for lands on notice, who are now anxious
TO secure the same at old prices we are
assured that there is no disposition on the
part of the Improvement Company to
Withhold purchase Of their lands from
present settlers.
The object of the Company is the gene
raj and rapid development OF the country
and hence they are not anxious to accord
to those who are already owners of large
tracts of lands the privilege of further
Withholding from settlement large areas
occupied for years without payment at
prices named or rental Settlers resident
having no lands can purchase at same
terms as new corners.
In case of townships l6, ~ and 43 We
are informed by the General Agent of the
Improvement Company that at the re-
quest of officials Of the \. 7. X. r. Co.
cases of occupancy without purchase
have been left with the n. T. office
at Colfax for settlement and IN no case
will hardship be done those who having
failed to purchase lands for actual settle.
ment may desire to do so. In general
these lands have for years been held by
parties who have exhausted all govern
ment rights and have neither disposition
or ability to purchase. From what we
know of Mr.. Willard and the officers of
the Improvement Company we look to a
rapid settlement of these lands, respect
ing the rights of all, and with regard TO
equity. Certainly there is no wish to EN-
barrass or remove one settler from the
country.

Benz. D'Israeli.
ICOMMUNICATED.l

BENJAMIN DIsraeli, whose death We
chronieled last week, was one of the most
remarkable men of this generation, and
in political life one of the most unscrupu-
lous. Himself Hebrew, and entering
the English political arena at time when
to be Hebrew was to suffer social and
parliamentary ostracism, he has lived to
experience the highest political privileges
of civilized humanity extended to once
prescribed race, and himself living illus.
tration of the wisdom of an extended suf
frage. The distinguishing trait of the
dead statesman was insincerity he first
ran for Parliamentary honors as an ultra
radical reformer of such strong republi-
can tendencies that the radicals of that
day wisely doubted his sincerity and de-
feated him at the polls. The historical
incident of his dramatic debut in the
House of Commons affords the key to the
structure of his great intellect, and that
key is humbug. He delighted in hum
bug; an analysis of every event in his
political career reveals series Of the
most astounding and daring humbugs1
As Chancellor of the Exchequer, as
Prime Minister, as a member of the
hereditary Legislative body called the
House of Lords, but more popularly
known as the den Of thieves, and as a
literary man, his efforts are all hupbugs
Of that transparent character With which
the average Britisher loves to be be-
guiled.
The purchase of the Suez Canal shares
from the Khedive of Egypt in 1875,
heralded to the world as the greatest feat
ever recorded in the annals of statesman
ship, was nothing but stock gambling
transaction, consummated by contempt
bic trickefy that would have adorned q
lamp-post with the body of President
had the like occurred in these United
States. His spirited foreign policy,
! instead Of bringing "peace with honor,
has plunged Great Britain into costly
wars, which have gwen that empire an
undeniable notoriety as cowardiy bully.
/ His scientific frontier" for the Indian
Empire, instead of postponing or prevent

The innate love Of the man for hum
bug cropped out when he crowned old
Queen Vic with the title of Empress o
India. Belonging by his own natura
endowments to the aristocracy of intel
lect, he created himself Earl of Beaeons

ity beneath an EarIs coronal, in order t,
show his undisguised contempt for thu

CAN the Common Council grant DIR.
Bakers Flume Company the right to use

benefit than it already serves Pa-tie:
