OUR MUNICIPALITY SHOULD BE
CARED FOR.

Ii we have city government we
should have good one, of which no cit
izen need be ashamed. We have no
further use for drones in the city gov.
eminent. Either have men who will
embrace their positions and fill them
faithfully, and without murmurring and
complaining, or else have no government
at all, and allow every man full latitude
to trample upon the rights of our citizens
with impurity, except when met by set
back by some other citizen whose long
suffering and forbarance has ceased to be
a virtue, takes into his head that he will
make law unto himself that will redress
his own wrong. 1t needs no preaching
nor lecturing to convince the majority of
our citizens that We need reform in the
practical workings of our city govern
ment. The city government Of Lewiston
is far from being honored for its efficiency
and promptness in meeting the question
which the interest of the people OF the
city demand should be met with frmness
and promptness. Who will go into the
city council, if elected, and attend prompt
ly and faithfully to the duties of the
position, with out fear or favor from any,
one, and be a man?

RAILROAD NEWS.

Operations on the Utah 4 Northern this
week all portend the early conversion Of
the Utah h Northern between Butte and
Garrison into q standard gauge road.
Between Butte and Stuart heavy force
is at work and the track is nearly ready
for the operation of both narrow and
standard gauge trains. Between Stuart
and Garrison standard gauge sawed ties
are being put in at all stations, and it Is
stated large force will soon be put on.
The change is made by taking out each
alternate narrow gauge tie and putting in
standard gauge tic in place, the narrow
gauge rail not being spiked to the stand.
ard gauge ties. The superstition is that
rails will be laid to standard gauge outside
the present rails and that these latter will
not be disturbed until the standard gauge
is in full operation.-Neao North Vest.

LETTIR FROM PALOUsE.
PALousE, May 81, 1856

PALousE, May II, 1856.
We see that you don't profess to know
! any more of the plans of the railroad
companies than other people. Perhaps
it is as well that you do not know, foi
their plans to-day may be greatly changed
before tomorrow. 1t would appear tina,
one object of this frequent change is to
prevent the producers from knowing, in
tie early season, what they can depend
upon in the way of transportation when
the harvest comes. The Bible maxim
must be followed by the producer under
all circumstances to wit: "In the morn
ing SOW thy seed aud in the evening with
hold not thine hand, for thou knowest
not which will prosper, either this or
that, or whether both shall be alike
good was out to Pennington the
other day, and wanted to find out some
thing about the road from the Northern
Pacific south, via Spangle, but no one at
Pennington knew any thing about it all
they knew was that the N. P. was not
coming to Farmington and that the 0.
r. d N. road was, and that was enough
for them. They did not believe the
Spokane Falls branch Of the N. p.
would come any farther south than
Spangle, that they did not dare to tress-
pass any farther into the territory Of the
0. r. & N, lest they be snubbed BY the
0. r. & N, in the freightipg agreement
before the switch-back of the Northern
was completed and they could be indie
pendent of the O. r.. h N. I have
heard much talk about an effort to effect
another consolidation Of the O. r. & n.
and the Northern Pacific, something like
the Willard object. This may take place;
to me it seems among the improbabilitles
l would sooner expect that the o. r. &
N. would fraternize with the Union
Pacific and build road from the Utah
& Northern to the Snake and Columbia
rivers through the Bitter Root and down
the Clearwater valley. The Northern
Pacific has yet left open to her the Snake
river from Ainsworth to Lewiston, and
above, with competing steamers, and the
0. r. l. N, cannot block her chances in
this direction. Just at this time there is a
good deal being done, as l think, for
bluffing and bunkum, by both the N. p.
and the 0. r. Il N, and l hope the peo-
pie will be in position to take advan-
tage of what building of roads there may
he this season. We do not expect that
all will be suited, but if the great major
ity of the settlers can get off their crops
this year at reasonable rates, with good
price in the market, they will all have
reason to rejoice and be glad, and will
look forward with great hopes for the
future Of this country. X.

THE "TELLHR'6" VIEWS ON THE
INDIAN QUESTION IN 1876.

About the time the commission was
expected at Lapwai to make peace with
Joseph and prevent an open war, we had
no confidence in the proposed plan OF
adjustment, and 80 expressed ourself
through the TELLER of November /,
1876, nearly ten years ago, and before
Joseph went on the war path. We re-
produce what we then said as we have
seen no reason to change our views. But
the history of the struggle in North Ida
no in 1876 and 1873 goes to confirm
our views:
ut is well known that we, with thous.
ands of others on the coast who have
studied Indian character and the work
ings Of the government reservation sys-
tenn, have but little or no confidence in
the utility of the system either for the
government or the Indians. 1t would
be far better for both, If in making trea-
ties with hostile tribes we stipulate for
them to come under aud be subject to
our laws and be entitled to all the priv
ilege' guaranteed to whites, and have
their subsistence aud growth made de-
pendant upon their own industry and ex-
crtiou; rather than to be the constant re-.
cipients Of government annuities and be
served BY well-fed agents and employees,
while they themselves are permitted to
roam the country in idlencss at will and
without restraint. If Indians cannot be
civilized and Christianized by becoming
subject to our laws, they cannot by BE-
coming subject to different CT de Of laws
administered alone by agents of the gov
ernments. We do not want two distinct
governments for two distinct races
Of men. It is contrary to the genius and
spirit Of the constitution and in direct
violation Of tho Declaration of Indepen.
dence of our foreiathers which claims as
a self.evideut truth, that 'All men are
created equal and endowed by their Gre
ator with certain unalienable rights" &c.
What then should be the law Of the
white man should be the law of the
Indian"

New York, May 2s.-Judge Wallace
Of the United States circuit court, to-da,

Steam Navigation company against the

ference in the price at which the stock
Of the former company was sold to the

being based upon stock exchange quota

many elements Of uncertainty that it
seems well to determine the question
now. In view Of all the evidence the
conclusion is reached that the value of
the whole property Of the new corpora
ton at the time of the sale was from
81, O0O, 900 to $l0,O00.00O, and that of
the old company 100000. Com.
claimants are adjudged to have an equita-
bic lien to the extent of the sum due

holders, but not prior to the lien of the
holders OF mortgage bonds. The acts of
Willard are not to be Disseminated from

luct has been sanctioned by the stock
