At half pas. eight O'Clock January 18th, our
well known and cordially respected fellow
citizen. John H. Stahl pissed peacefuliy
from LIE 10 death. His constitution has for
mary years htea weakened by the ravases
Of consumption, and he has lonz been an
Invalid. His native energy, however, over
came his physical feeb!enees to such degree
that be vas an active and industrious busi-
ness man, and prospered accordingly. Born
IN the Schleswig Holstein province Of the
German Empire. Nov. IA, 1926, be came to
America On attaining his majority, and after
= few years residence in the Atlantic states.
ne came TO California in the spring of 1850
and resided in several OF the northern eoun-
ties OF that sta.e, engaged in Yarious bust
ness interests for several years. With the
discovery of sod in Eastern Oregon We ind
hun settled in Canyon City where he had
VARIOUS and extensive business enterprises.
In 1870 he removed to Walls Walla and so
liked the situation, Climate, resources and
prospects OF the town u AZ he determined TO
anchor here FOR life. Soon after his arrival
ne negotiated for aud effected the purchase
OF the only brewery in the upper country,
which, under the name of the City Brewery,
he operated until his death. Mr.. Stahl was
one Of the best citizens Of this city, aud in
proportion to his means he was undoubtedly
the most enterprising. His brewery ID the
most extensive establishment Of ito kind in
the northwest and was repeatedly remoieled
by its energetic proprietor until the growth
OF the bLsiness necessitated the erection of
an extensive brick building. which was fitted
out with the latest appointments regardless
Of cost. Several other brick structures
attest his faith in the city Of Walls Walla.
Both as business man and a private citizen
Walla Walla has lost good friend. He was
always an cpen-hearsed, gsneror. ard hos
pitable man, and although not rich, in the
vulgar use of the term, he had always enough
to relieve the necessities OF those who applied
to him. To all public enterprises he was a
liberal contributor and the amount of his
donations often put to shame the gifts Of
men OF larger neans. John II. Stahi was,
in all that the term implies, large hearted,
liberal minded, open.handed man. Deceased
was a member Of Royal Arch Chapter No. l.
and Blue Mountain Lodge No. l3, A. F. &
A. NJ, and Of Enterprise Lodge No. 2, |. o.
.. f. He will he buried to morrow (Sun
day at o'clock P. NJ, in his lot in the Old
Fellows cemetery, under the joint auspices
OF the Masonic and Odd Fellows Lcdges.

BAKER SCHOOL. Jan. - 1884.
EDIroR STATESMAN Sir: We, the un-
dersigaed pupils of the first and second
grammar department of Baker school, feel
tina. serious Il, iustIce has teen done to Us
In your paper OF last evening. in which We
we're stigmatized as ''hoiy terrors, hood
lums. etc.
The article referred to gave a very exay-
gersted account OF an occurrence that took
place among the pupils of an intermediate
department., in which nobody was hurt, and
Of which the big boys" were entirely igno-
rant The "lor,uring' of McNeil's or any
Other boy by sticking pins IN his persOn' is
an entirely Is's. statement.
Why, Mr.. Editor, do you select US for
sp.,iil oppr0hrium Why not be impartial
aud report all the accidental injuries that
occur from playing at all the schools? There
was boy had two teeth knocked out at
Whitman C,llegr yesterday. besides several
have been otherwise injured. and yet We
have never noticed any sensational articles
on the subject. In view of the foregoing
facts, Mr.. Editor, we hope you will do us
the justice to retract your injurious state
ments Of last evening, AMI We hereby tender
you an invitation TO visit our school and stay
all day il possible, during which time We
hope 20 convince yen that We are neither
''hOodiums" nor ''holy terrors."

Was p aging ball in fiont Of his own home

such thing were to occur in Whitman Col

try's business. Jay Gould knew the
hoIlowness Of the Republican cry; he
hes railroad interests that reach
through numerous states; he saw that
Cleveland was elected; he knew that
his confidence ia the safety ofthe busi-
ness interests In the hands Of
Cleveland would be reassuring, and he
wrot the letter. The cry of danger
to the business interests Of the country
in Democratic sue ,ess was false, as
were all the Republican election cries.
II was AS false as the cry of payment
of the rebel war debt, pensions TO Con-
federate soldiers, reimbursement to
Virginia for the division OF its terri
tory, reinstatement Of the negroes,
payment for liberated slaves and
all the nonsense to which the corrupt
Republican party has treated the
Northern people in order TO perpetu-
ate It's power. Democrats are not fools.
but the election cries of the Republl.
can party have evidently been based
on its confidence in the ignorance OF
the Northern people. Jay Gould's
letter was timely, appropriate and
confession that his party had lied to
the PEG pie in this as it had in all its
charges against the Democracy.

same light us themselves, who regard
It as sacred thlng-whose fondest
ambition can reach no further nor
conceive wilder stretch Of greatness.
To the Dsllas imagination, every
thing is roseate with hope-that
hope which, though long deferred, has
not made the heart sick. We confne
our remarks, of course, to the Dallas
Democratic imagination. The Dallas
Republican picture of despair and
wretchedness is unfit for the gaze Of
human eyes. For the characteristic
Dallas love Of Office is as strepg in Re
publican as In Democratic breasts, and
the citation of the one measures the
others detection. But the Dallas
Democrat little heeds his brothers woe.
Norton may rage, Bigger flourish his
British bulldog, and Garrison imagine
vain thing-to-wit, that Blaine Is
elected that does not lessen the Joy
and exultation of Dallas.
In the midst OF its carnival OF tri-
umph, Dallas does not see the deaths
head grinning in sardonic glee. After
the contest ia over, and the offices have
been filled, and the scsvenger finally
confirmed In his position, there will
yet be some hundreds Of unprovided-
for Dallas Democrats. These will look
abroad, and seeing the thousands other
offices 10 be filled, will desert that
place that gives no further promise of
office, and HE them TO more promising
scenes, Fort Worth may even suffer
from this reason, as some Of them will
surely come here for the promise Of
pickings. The consequence Of such a
movement must be fatal to Dallas.
The village will be deserted by all save
the happy officeholders, and ruin will
ensue. Such fate appears not to have
been perceived at that place, but it is
inevitable, and shows how our doom
may be foreshadowed by an apparent
victory that causes rejoicing. Delenda

James G. Blaine. Ass.

There We're Democrats in the United
States who symrathizsd with Mr..
Blaine In his gallant stru ggle ior the
grandest political prize in this couu-
try who denounced the assault on his
family re cations; who were grateful
for his aid to Randall against the fore
bill which Butler the Beast would
have fastened upon the South; who
even eondoned his prostitution Of Office
in the belief that, as president, he
would have tried to give the
country an administration whose
brllliancy would have obscured
the past. Bat Mr., Blaine is now
making an ass OF himself He affects
to feel no personal disappointment,
but claims that his party and the poo-
pile God save the mark y are defraud,
ed by dishonest count. Mr.. Blaine
in himself. in his party connections,
and in the truth, has po basis upon
which 10 pose as q Samuel j. rilden
lie says 1.-THE people will not accept n
fraudulent RESULT He Is eminently
correct. They did accept fraudulent
result once, but they Will never do IL
again, and Mr.. Blaine Is very much
blinded by personal disappointment If
he does not see that the country is in
no humor Tor another Republican rape
OF the presidency. II Mr.. Blaine
would preserve any of the respect in
which he has been held, he should not
let his personal disappointment make
him attitudinize before the country as
a charlatan, as an Fss in a Iion's skin.
