THE Tnrttsdn misqu0tes ana Irryrrrs
the language of our correspondent,
" ProhibitiOnist," in order to please
somebody who has taken exceptions to
his rather ultra views. All We have to
say in his defence il that he is the
peer of any man in the community in
all that constitutes the true gentle
man. He may be wanting in those
fox-like characteristics which the Par
isdn seems to think so essential, but
he is not deficient in that courage
which won fame on the field of battle,
nor in those positive convictions of
right which constitute the basis and
value of individual character. The
STANDARD does not agree with "Pro-
hibitiOnist" on many points, but it ac-
cords him the right to express his
opinion, and believes that he will
come much nearer observing, on all
occasions, the amenities of life, than
his wOuld-be censor.

There are doubtless many people
who would like to know how the Ter
ritorial Central Committee, of which
Mr. Maloney and Mr.. Bell assume to
be the executive officers, was cOnsti-
tutcd. What organization does it rep
resent, if any? When and by whom
was it appointed and authorized to
call a Territorial Convention? There
has been no Peoples party, known dis
tinctively as such, in our Territorial
history. If this is the beginning of n
new party organization, it would have
been well to have admitted the fact,
otherwise the impression must 60 forth
that an organization has been perfect

are only admitted to its deliberations
after all the preliminaries have been
arranged and they are needed to vote

They had patent outside for the paper.
All the rest OF the work these three per-

they saved this expense II possible. The
peculiar feature OF this Office was IT, ex-
treme neatness. There were no piles OF
dirt swept up into corners There was
no fpi' under the stands that bore the
cases. There was pot or two Of flowers
in each window, and canary bird sapg

tramps ranging through the country then
