some of the good people who are not
of the ministry, but they should re-
nemt err that the courtezan and cyprian
and hypocrite, and all other forms of
sin come smiling, fawning and truck
ling while they give tho fatal stab to
character and morals. This policy
will never reform the world and the
eye of circumspection is quite as essen
tial in the church choir as in the gam
bling house or saloon, or even in the ha
rem, whether its observations are de-
signed to make the minister
more practical or the laymaa
more deccitful. These comments
are designed to bs general in their ap.
plication, and their mission will be nc.
complished if they shall cause some
men to hold the mirror higher when
they are playing the role of critics,
and think more Of the public and less
about themselves while they read the
TELLER, which is only looking glass
on larger scale. 1t is the mirror Of
the world and nota an individual. Last
evening an unfortunate woman created
CONSERVATION by firing several shots
from revolver at a fleeing man, and
this is all that could be ascertained an
hour afterwards. The cause will in
time become known and then its publi-
cation will invoke censure Of some sort
Perhaps the same revolver will be
loaded anew to shoot the editor with,
or if not, perhaps the argus eye Of a
score Of critics, will discover meanwhile
that he ought to DO shot and they will
spare his life only to turn loose upon
him the scorpion tongue of scandal,
and thereby, if possible, multiply his
tortures. But thero is peace Of con-
science found in the reflection that duty
has been fully and and fearlessly per
formed and the great conscience Of the
TELLER must be at peace with itself
whether all tho gnarly hearted chris
tians and belligerent police and dis
honest judges and unclean cyprians
and even murderers, congrcgato to
make war upon us or net We per.
haps may be more prottably engaged
for ourselves and the public, when
thus forced into tho unwilling task oi
Constructing throne out of TEN

tinually on the bosom of the dead sea

perity,"

RESOLUTIONS OF TRUE JOUR
NALISM.

We rccopy from the ". w. Onion
ALI article taken from the Council Bluffs
N0npdreH; it contains so much that is
illustrative Of the true province of jour
nalism, that we adopt it heartily and
reprint it substituting the name of
TELLER in place of Nonparea, as n
fair exposition Of the views which the
TELLER has ever maintained upon the
question;
Independant journalism is trait
always admired 10y the public because
it means the establishment Of charac-
ter and vindication Of principle; and
because the newspaper which gives the
current he Ms fro,n day to day without
pointing a moral or Offering comment
Of any kind upon all classes Of crime,
is Of little use to the world. This is
the position which the TELLER has
always occupied and the field which it
seeks to fill in the future. If il be
comes necessary to comment on the
action of the City Council or for the
suppression of crime by the police au
thorities, or in the various courts Of
justice, it will do SO fairly as is posi-
ble to be fair and iearlessly as is nee
essary to succeed. The position OF the
public journal in this regard is quite
different from that of private citizen
who can advocate one policy to-day and
different one tomorrow. He does
not 60 into PRINT, and the types are
not arrayed against him when he
changes front" on any question, We
are personally acquainted with business
men in the community who have made
this sort of record. They preach TEN
perance while thoy tipple and they Of
ten pirate about the mean spirit of the
press, which is striving to be consis-
tent, while they cover up their own
Inconsistencies by diverting attention
from themselves. This practice is not
manly and this spirit will not elevate
the standard of morals or benefit man
kind. 1t always pays to be fair and
it is more manly to receive undeserved
blows without murmur than to boast
fully deal in unjust censure. 10 this
spirit the TELLER believes and Prac-
tees even when tempted to break the
silence by making an example of some
cloven footed critic, who comes as Joab
came with cordial salute to Abner,
and thrust him under the fifth rib
while Abner thought of nothing but
kindness. In this way some OF the
ministry have come to US at times, and

fabric of the old company and seized
the control, and proclaimed change,
not only a change in route and ter
minus inimical to the interests of the
people of the northwest, but also fore
shadowed policy Of rigid exactions
and extortions similar to those which
had been experienced, and are now
experienced at the hands of the o. r.
IL N. Co., there is no great wonder
that the people Of the northwest out
side Of Portland should demand that
the farther indulgencies toward this
corporation should bc cut short, and
that wha. was intended to DO q great
road, but which intentions have been
thwarted 10y the present managers of
tho corporation, should hereafter have
no more fos, ,ering care and protection
of the Government and the people than
does any other great corporation, which
seeks Western terminus upoa the
Pacific The advantages which the
Northern Pacific have long enjoyed in
contemplating the securing of their land
grant, they have forfeited, by their
own acts and declarations during the
past eighteen months, and that is one
of the strongest reasons why tho people
now demand declaration Of forfeiture
of their land grant, and it is a just one
and ought to prevail with Congress.

NUMBER II.
uNRnAsoNABLD orros1rIon

The bill for the admission Of Wash
ington Territory into the Union = :
State meets with great opposition from
the Idaho Delegate in Congress and
several other residents Of that Terri
tory. The reason for this opposition 4
found in the fac. that the bill nentior-
ed contemplates the addition Of thas
portion Of Idaho north of the salmon
river to Washington in forming the
new State. No good argument 80 b
presented for this opposition. Not
only has nature reared imprsgAAbls
barriers betweensthess northern coun-
ties and the remainder Of Idaho, but
the interests Of the people Of the form
er section are in no manner connected
with those of the latter, except as meu,-
bers of the same political body. To
Washington Territory they belong nat
urally, and their business relations and
typographical features ere all arguments
for including them in the Staso Of
Washington. So strongly are these
northern counties OF Idaho in favor of
the proposed change that an almost
unanimous vote was given for anrcxa-
ton at the time Of the Last Presiden-
tial election. What stronger argument
is desired for the change than that it
is the united wish Of the people and
tho manifest intention Of nature2
Were these counties taken from
Idaho that Territory would still have
an area of about 10000 square miles,
while the addition to Washington would
make the new State Of less size than
Oregon. It would NJ materially dis
satisfy the mass Of the population of
Southern Idaho, as the main objection
Of those who are lighting the bill that
such procedure would establish .
bad precedent is absolutely worthless.
The fact is palpal 10 that mistake was
made in establishing the original boun-
darios of Idaho, and no valid argument
can he offered against it's correction
now, especially when the best interests
of all concerned SO strongly favor such
a plan. Oregoaiaa.

Law OF THE GUITTEAU CASE.
OLYMPIA, w. T., Jan. 81, 1882.
To the editor Of tho Oregonian.

Cbl MIlNS w uu' ACpS'
To the editor Of tho Oregonian.
In the preparation of small law
work l have had occasion to examine
the 'plea of insanity" ! find the fol
lowing to be clear exposition of the
law, and maintained ns correct by
large majority of tho reported cases.
"Apparent melancholy ana popularity
of department generally a,e not prof
of insanity, as that term is popularly
understood. Perhaps by theorists these
pecularities may be considered evil
dences of insanity. 1t is indeed very
difficult to define that invisible line
that divides insanity from sanity, but
such speculation is not here necessary;
for party indicted is not entitled to
an acquittal on the ground of insanity,
if at tho time of the alleged olfenso had
capacity sufficient to enable him to dis
tiuguish between right and wrong, and
understood the nature and consequences
Of his act and had mental power suf'
ficient to apply that knowledge to his
own case. Inspiration, or temporary
mental incapacity, or hallacination,
should not be permitted to prevail when
from the evidence, the accused had fear
of the law and the consequences Of his
act
This is the law Of Guitteau's case,
and TO ignore it would make the United
States and its people the laughing stock
of the civilized nations Of the world.
The tot!iousness of our laws delay, ps
administered today in our country, is
cause of having our law despised
and justice blinded,
Let the word 90 forth, "SeatLle the
wrong doers," and there will be less
crime and more exact justice The cold
ri-or Of the law is the best preventive
Of crime. But ns long as our courts
will listen to or wink at shyster justice
and blackleg law, SO long will the law
be held in contempt and our courts
pointed at with darision. What is the
remadyl Take our Judiciary out of the
arena Of politics and keep ignorance
and stupidity out Of the jury box. Al
though cur Territorial politics are be
ginning to fermen'. The line 4 battls
is plainly forming, and soon the armie
of the factions viii clash with no un
certain sound. Our present executive
will have d hard road to hoe, il h
does it ell. Bnt time will the tale un
fold. IEUS.

THE FARMER AND THE RAIL
ROAD.

The farmer, in the paper.
Read the editorial mentions,
That the public welfare rested
On political conventions.
But the trees had leaved and blossomed,
And the grass continued growing;
All the sprouts of corn We're starting,
And the farmer went on hosing.
The wheat grew white and yellow,
And the corn was nicely growing;
The farmer smoked his pipe in peace,
And bout his turnips went on .hoeing
All this time the railroad men
Were busy shaping things political,
Why, apparently no one knew
The farmer least of all was critical
For the earth was filed with plenty,
And the time was past for hoeing,
Markets everywhere were bare
Surely prospects now were growing.
But when the farmer shipped his grain,
Little caring, little knowing,
What freights were charged to market,
1t left truly sorry showing
1he price was high, but so were freiehts,
Instead of rich it left him owing,
Then wroth the farmer quick became,
Quoth he, "What is tho use of sowing.
We laws must have to fair decide
What share the carrier, what the
grower
But when he came to get the laws,
He found twas quite beyond his power
The railroad men had busy been
Shaping and moulding this Political;
The reason why now plain to all,
The situation somewhat critical.

Learned men have written much OF
the Talmud, an old work Of the Hebrew
laws, traditions and commentaries. The
Encyclopedia britannica thus renders
the Talmud's history of Adam with its
legendary adornments: "iic was made
as man. woman out Of dust collected
from every part of tie earth, his head
reached to heaven, and the rplendor
of his face surpassed the sun. The
very angels feared him, and all crsa-
lures bastened " pay him devotion.
The Lord, in order to display his pow
er before tho angels, caused deep
sleep to fall up II him, took away some
thing from all his members, aud, when
he 'awoke, commanded the ports that
had been removed to be dispersed over
the globe, that the whole earth might
be inhabited 10y his seed. Thus Adam
lost his size but no5 his completeness.
His first wife was Lilith, mother Of the
demons. But she flew away through
the air; and then the Lord created Eve
from his rib, brought her to Adam in
the most beautiful dress and angels
descending from heaven played on
heavenly instruments; sun, moon and
stars dancing. He blessed the pair and
gave them feast upon table OF prec-
ious stones. Angels prepared tbs most
costly yiands. But Adams glory was
envied by the angels, and the seraph
Sammael succeeded in seduoiag him.
The pair were driven out OF paradise
into the place o. darkness, and SENDER
ed through the earth.
