FATHER CESARI'S LETTER.
The Catholics Of Wood River will Read
With Pleasure.

Under date of March 25th Father
CESAR writes the TIMES from Sho-
shone:
l arrived here last night from Eagle
Rock, Blackfoot, Pocatello, and other
missions. This morning | was called
on boy very sick, end | received at
the same time an order from my Lord
Bishop to go as soon as possible to
Arco, as there is somebody in need of
my presence. Therefore, again | am
obliged to beg you to announce to
the good Catholics of HALEY and 9th
er surrounding missions that there
will be no service for Sunday next,
but | will hold service in Haley on
the first Sunday of April. On that
same Sunday will erect the Stations
Of the Cross.
If should be there any sick call,
please advertise in your paper that
they should send telegram or letter
here at Shoshone, in care of Mr.. F.
Dunnigan, U. P. express agent.
In Eagle Rock, at the Catholic SER
vice, were present 80 Catholic fami-
lies-15O persons. That city is in
creasing rapidly. That community is
first class. Business is very lively,
and the town is full of people, aud
the same may be said of Blackfoot.
Hoping you viii excuse my liberty
in writing, Yours sincerely,
Don NJ. CESAR, Priest.

Using net for catching fish in a
stream in Alturas, known as Silver
Creek.
The accused were in on time and
taken before Justice Lennon. Judge
Waters appeared for the defense,
and District Attorney Ruick for the
prosecution.
After consulting with the attorneys,
Justice Lennon said:
81 am impressed by the situation
before me. On recommendation of
the prosecuting officer, and with the
warning to you all that this be not
practlsed in the future, i suspend sem
tence on condition that the costs of
this trial be paid, and that YOU make
no more violations of the law"
This paper does not believe in
winking at violations of law. These
men, technically, did violate the law,
but it was to feed their little ones.
The TINES saw and was advised as
to the situation, and says that the ac
ton of the Court was correct. The
accused are poor men; they are hun
cry; they pleaded "guilty'', and told
their reasons: their wives and chill
dren were hungry; they caught and
sold fish to feed them. They did
right, and the Court did right, to let
"mercy season justice"

To the Citizens Of Wood River.

The undersigned respectfully state
that they have the finest and most
complete MERCHANT TAILORING Es
TABLIsHMENT in Idaho. Upon their
counters are displayed as elegant a
line Of spring and summer goods as
ever was seen anywhere, including
French and English suitings, checks,
plaids, and stripes. PRICES MOST
MODERATE. They do not compete
with the slop shops represented by
travelling agents from East or West
where Mormons and Cinnamon are
employed at 20 to so cents per day
but they do make fashionable clothing
as reasonably as any respectable es
tablishment in the country can afford
to. They are here to stay, and fulfil
their contracts with customers, and
only ask call to convince all that il
is to their interest to patronize home
industry. Their cutting has no su.
perior anywhere, and never failed tc

THRASHINl AN ELII0R,

The result of the Albe'tlMcQuade suit
recently tried in the circuit court should
have a very salutary effect upon the news,
paper interests of this county. The prece.
dent established by the jury is in itself a
very healthy one and one that will prob
ably be born In mind by those who are
prone to turn the columns of their journals
into mere sluiceways for the emptying out
of personal malice and spite. 1t is doubt.
less true that the late editor of the Globe
did not himself write the offensive articles
IN question, but he became responsible for
them, and jury has seen fit, after patti,
ent hearing of the evidence in the case, TO
allow him TO suffer unrecompenSed the
consequence of his lack Of judgment and
his infringement upon the character OF
the person that his paper unjustitiably at.
tackled
II is unreasonable to expect that under
any and all circumstances a man will bear
with patience whatsoever Of scurrility and
abuse newspaper may heap upon him.
There must be a point at which even pa.
thence ceases 10 be a virtue and beyond
which even the most hardened newspaper
man ought not to be allowed to pass with
impunity. Newspapers ought to be pub
lished TO elevate society and not 10 drag it
down. When an editor passes the bounds
of deCency and persists in invading every
mans private affairs and exposing them to
the public gaze, not for purposes Of pubic
good, but simply to satisfy somebody's ma
lignancy Of disposition, he cannot reason
ably expect that the outraged person will
submit meekly TO it all and content him

rather than resort to the lntricacies and the
uncertainties of law suit BY his course
as an editor he has, in publishing to the
world such scurrilities, given TO them a
dignity that would not attach to them if he
gave utterance to them upon the street in
his capacity as private individual, and
hence the wrong done by him is far great
er. If, in any degree, the verdict Of the
jury in the Albert McQuade damage suit
can in any way put an end to the increas,
ing personalities that characterize 50 many
papers now published, the suit brought by
Albert will not have been in vain.

There are two very important facts that
must weigh with the voters of the town

knowledge OF the men and methods OF the
board. and the other the undesirablenesS OF
frequent changes in township representa-
tiyes on the board. The property Interests
of the township, to a greater or less degree
must suffer while the new member, nc

township business. Unless some good and
substantial reason exists tending to show
that the interests Of the township would
best be promoted by a change, change
ought not TO be made.

Senator Logan denies emphatically that
the story now in publication at Washington,
entitled ' Uncle Daniel Story the war,
is his, as has been alleged. The story is
a partisan political one, and is published
simply for the sensation it viii create in
public circles. The characters are supposed
TO taken from men who were in active life
at the time of the war gives history of
the Knights of the Golden Circle, accuses
democratic statesmen of REASONABLE plots,
makes serious charges against Hendricks
and Voorhees,, charges Mcclellan with hav.
ING plotted to become dictator, and that con
federate money was used to aid in his presi-
Dental canvass, and alleges that President
Johnson conspired to bring about Lincoln S
assassination The novel, in short, is a con
densation Of political bloody-shirtism, en-
bodying in it all of the hate and malignity
of sectionaism. Bitterly partisan as Senator
Logan is his enemies have never accused
him of being either a dishonest man or a
fool. The author Of "Uncle Daniels Story
is both a knsve ana a fool,
