HOME RULE DEFEATED.

The result of the elections in Great
Britain over the Home Rule for Ireland
issue is surprise to the civilised world.
1t demonstrates the fact that John Bull
is welded to his idols and that his
insular prejudces are too strong and his
nature too stubborn to modify the policy
which he has adopted to govern Ireland.
Every liberty loving citizen throughout
the world will regret the defeat of Home
Rule. but dark as the outlook is for the
Emerald Isle. there are still perceptble
rays of light which will inspire the
lovers of liberty TO new efforts. Out of
evil good may come. and so out of this
election We perceive plainly enough that
although the advent of liberty may be
delayed, the day of coercion is passed
The spirit Of liberty will not down, and
while Ireland remains under the
suzerainty of England, she will be a
thorn in the side of the United
Kingdom.
Every vested interest in both islands
fought against Ireland in the late cleo
ton. Opulence, class, aristocracy and
bigotry royalty, hereditary titles and
attachments, landlordism, and the
prejudices inspired by generations of
hatred. erected their strongholds and
barricades against Freedoms paths and
aspirations. Coercion, persecution and
even determination have for centuries
had their full scope of sway. A viceroy
of Ireland in queen Elizabeth's time, in
his message to his royal sovereign, said:
"Your majesty will soon have nothing
in Ireland TO reign oyer but ashes and
dead bodies" The same policy in a
somewha modified fol m prevails to-day.
The government of Great Britain takes
pains to foment the spirit Of religious
Intolerance and bigotry between the
protestanis the north and the catholic
actions IN he south OF Ireland but it
il hopeful sign for the future that
beneath these internal discords we find
he Irish people practically unit in
their demand for political liberty
Great Britain is fast drifting into the
shoals OF anarchy, chaos. confusion and
bankruptcy, ana there are plenty of old
men living who will live to see Ireland
take her rightful place in he worlds
affairs as free and independent nation :

The causes which have created the
animosities now existing between the
agent, and the citizens and Indians,
owe their origin entirely to the acts OF
MIR. Monteith himself in the exercise OF
arbitrary power. 1t is well-known
fact, which found expression in the
newspapers OF Lewiston at the time, that
MIR. Monteith's appointment as lnolan
agent was not satisfactory to any oil the
Indians on the reservation. In fact,
his appointment was secured wholly
and solely through church influence,
and as was publicly printed at the time,
he had no capacity for the position ana
was altogether inexperienced in Indian
management save for brief perloo
when he acted as clerk to his brother,
John B. Monteith, a former agent whose
administration of affairs made the very
name of Monteith stencil and by
word among the Indians on the reserva
ton, feeling which the present agent
is apparently doing his level best to
perpetuate and intensity. 1t was
publicly charged in a Lewiston news
paper in April 1882, that Mr.. Monteith
was not competent TO fill the position,
and that he would create discord on the
reservation. The statement was gen.
orally endorsed, but nevertheless lie
assumed the Office with the good wishes
of the white people who are always
ready and willing to cooperate with
their moral influence in securing the
benefits of civilization and good govern
ment for the Indians. But the course
which Mr.. Monteith has adopted ha,
alienated all but his strictly persona
friends. In this community. where he
once had the good will and support o.
the people he is now despised. On the
reservation he is detested and hi
authority defied.
There must be some substantial reason
for this change of sentiment, and per
haps the following array of charges may
help elucidate the cause. We charge
that Mr.. Monteith has systematically
prosecuted the Indians at Kamisi
because they have repeatedly petitione'
for his removal, and for the appoint
ment of man free from the petty per
sonal spites, the qualification of whic'
appears to be the sole object of Mr.
Monteith's Official existence. He ba
melted strife on the reservation by sur
rounding himself with and in placin

AGENT MONTEITH AGAIN.
The Causes Which Have led to
the Troubles on the Reserva-
ton.

The most unpleasant and thankless
feature Of journalism is that which calls
for criticism of public officials when the
public interest demands it. 1t there
fore falls to our duty to acquaint the
public with all the facts in connection
with the recent attempt of agent
Monteith to make raid of the reserva-
ton. Indian Dick and Alexander were
arrested Immediately after the Tom
Hill trial was over by order of the
agent. They were kept in the Jail at
the Lapwai agency without proper food
or water until they concluded that the
agency supplies had become exhausted
and Clearwater had gone dry, when
they concluded to make a break for
freedom and the mountains. They
came to Mt. Idaho and were soon joined
by their families, and were laying up
rations of venison, huckleberries and
salmon, when the raid was made to re
arrest him, which was resisted by the
citizens. The raid was headed by Mr..
]. W. Crea. miller, employed MS sub
agent at Kamiah. and under his
authority were two brass-buitoned and
blue coated Indian policemen-one of
whom, by the way, has an Indictment
for grand larceny, found by grand
Jury OF this very county hanging over
him.
Mr.. Crea was asked by citizen what
authority he had to encroach upon the
jurisdiction of the courts of the territory
by arresting Indians outside OF the
Indian reservation. He haughtlly re-
piled that he did not come for advice,
but knew his business, as he had heard
the law read by the Big Chief at
Lapwai, who seems in the estimation of
the sub.chief, to know more law than
Blackstone or Gordon, and more
theology than Sam Jones or Beecher
Very few words we're passed when the
notice were invited to leave town, which
they promptly did. the sub-chief fol
lowing as rear.guard, since which time
peace has prevailed and all is quite
along the Clearwater.
1t is fortunate that the police left az
quietly as they did, because in the event
of resistance the entire gang would
have been wiped out by the indignant
citizens. They were the worst scared
crowd that ever attempted to capture
town and slipped up on their calcula-
tions, and it demonstrates the truth OF
the old frontier saying that Indians are
towards at close quarters, although they
are brave enough to take pot-shot al
a man when they are hid in the security
of all adjustment.

With all the rivers, creeks aud

the people Of Nevada are slow TO
engage in irrigation enterprises.
Great acres of land that would be-
com, fertile and as valuable as any
on the Pacific Coast are allowed to
remain waste for lack of proper
works 10 facilitate irrigation. In
the business of irrigation our State
Is being left far behind by several
of the Territories in the Eastward.
In Wyoming a great work Is now
about completed by which no less
than 10000 acres If land will be
furnished with an ample supply OF

The best nf the whole enterprise

that the Company does not intend
establishing a great farm to be
managed by themselves. As soon
as the land is brought under cult

farms and sold to individuals. 1t
is easy to see what populous aud
fourishing settlement will spring
up on this tract of $4,000 acres of
land. Ia Idaho and Montana SIM
liar irrigating enterprises are in
progress. Although we are thus
being left behind it is to be hoped
that capitalists will presently see
the opportunities that Nevada af-
fords and start up works of similar
character along the SlerraS and in
other places where water may be |
obtained and stored. There is 10 |
reason why such enterprises muy
