We had brief but pleasant call
this week from Hon. S. W. Peel,
OF Arkansas, one Of the members of
the congressional committee that is
now travelling through the territories
looking after the expenditures Of the
Indian appropriations and the num-
Der and success Of the reservation
schools devoted to the instruction Of
the youthful aborigine. We found
Col. Peel a genial and pleasant gen
tleman, with none Of the Ostenta-
tious show that many political Office
holders take pains to exhibit. The
gentleman has the reputation Of Re-
ing bright and eFedltable ornament
10 the body Of legislators that he has
the honor to be a member Of, and is
held In high esteem among his con-
stttuenry where he has been elected
10 a number Of important offices by u
large complimentary vote from re-
publicans rs well as democrats. He
informs us that the committee started
west early In July and he Joined the
party this month. They go on from
here to the Sound, probably visiting
the Umatilla reservation on the
route. From the northwest they gu
10 San Francisco, returning home by
the Southern Pacific, stopping in
Arizona and New Mexico. The
colonel spoke in high terms Of the
apparent progressive spirit Of the
people of the far west, and thought
the citizens OF Spokane Fails had
reason to feel proud Of theif city, Its
surroundings and future prospects.
Col. Peel Is an old and warm personal
friend Of J. c. Hanna, they having
lived as neighbour in Arkansas for
many years, he being judge Of the
county in which they resided while
Mr.. Hanna fllled the Office Of clerk.

city, desolated by fire, who came to their
relief. Ask the city, scourged with yel

The Rumseller's Proposal to the
Devil.

DEAR SIR: l have opened apartments
fitted up with all the enticements of
luxury, for the sale of rum, brandy, gin,
wine, beer, and all their compounds
Our objects, though different, can be
best attained by united action. All |
want of men is their money. All the
rest shall be yours.
Bring me the industrious, the sober,
the respectable and | will return them
to you drunkards, paupers, and beggars.
Bring me the child, and | will dash to
earth the dearest hopes of the father
and mother.
Bring me the father and the mother
and will plant discord between theu
a I'd make them curse and a reproach
to their children.
Bring me the young man, and | will
ruin his character, destroy his health,
shorten his life, and blot out the highest
and purest hopes of youth.
Bring me the mechanic or the labor
ing man, and his own money-the hard
earned fruits of his toil-shall be made
to plant poverty, ,.vice, and ignorance in
his once happy home.
Bring me the warm hearted sailor and
l will send him on a lee-shore, and
uldk6 sHlp-NTbCh u ali his lOuu uOptS
forevermore.
Bring me the professed follower of
Christ, and l will blight aud wither
every devotional feeling of the heart, =
will corrupt the ministers of religion,
and defile the purity of the Church.
Bring me the patronage of the city
and of the courts of justice, let the mag
istrates of the State and the Unol be
come my patrons, let the lawmakers
themselves meet at my table, and par
ticipa'e in violation of law and the
name of law shall become a kissing and
| by-word in the streets.
Bring me above all, the moral, re
spectacle man-if possible, bring the
moderate temperance man; though he
may not drink, yet his presence will
countenance the pretexts Under which
our business must be ma>ked-bring
him to our stores, oyster-saloons, eating
houses and hotels, and the more timid
of our victims will then enter without
alarm. Yours faithfully,

Culture of Onions.

after an experience of many years,
saws writer in the American Cultiva
tor, Il still follow the practice of plow-
ing ground for onions in the fall or
early winter, and of spreading manure
from the cart upon the frozen surface,
allowing its exposure to the ameliorating
influence of winters frosts and the
drenching rains of spring. prefer the
yellow Danvers variety, sewing five
pounds of seed to the acre as early in
the season as the ground can be made
sufficiently fine. Firmness of soil is an
essential in successful culture. ! have
found the footprints of the grower
iudiciously placed along the row after
sowing the seed to give large increase in
Weld. Clean culture is an important
factor. The crop should be harvested
early, and housed during dry weather.
Have obtained good crops on ground
dressed with ten loads of farmyard
manure to the acre combined with the
use of half formula of Stockbridge
fertilizer. My experience indicates that
this course is preferable to the use of
either manure or fertilizer alone"

Good Will.

The temperance movement Is inspired
by no spirit of i'll will toward any one
not even saloon-keepers. 1t aims to
help drinkers, by removing temp
Iation from their way. 1t aims to
help the people in their home by saving
to them, for legitimate uses, the
money spent on whisky. 1t also aims to
bring peace to families distracted by the
demon Of the wine cup. 1t aims to help
the public service. by bringing into
places of responsibility the sober and
the reliable. 1t aims to help all the
people by reducing taxation and bring
ing to an end those bloody strifes that
shock and veX the community. 1t aims
to help all branches of honorable busi-
ness; the farmer by giving him
a sober and self-respecting ten
antry or laborers; tradesmen, by
turning the enormous sums of money
now sunk in the liquor traffic into the
legitimate channels OF trade. 1t aims to
help the saloonist, by removing him
from dishoncrable and dangerous
business, and compelling him to choose a
vocation consistent with moral and intel
lectual advancement. Good will to all,
and i'll will to none.-Sword and Shield
