difficult to decide lust what should be
said in this matter. 1t should be patent
to all that this French woman whatever
the effect Of her visit to this city may be-
on the sanitary condition Of tho commun;
ity, is not here for her health. No
sensible person, who believes thAt the age
Of miracles is past, can think for a mo:
ment that this woman is possessed Of tho
wonderful skill iu healing claimed by her.
But ,ertain knack Of pulling teeth
which she possesses caused tho mob to
deem her something more than human.
This rendered it more difficult to mako
the people estimate the pretentions Of
this woman at their real value, as "a lie
that is only half lie is always the
hardest to meet"
The Oregonian hss been requested
many times to try and persuade people
from throwio, away their money on the
perfumes, salves and powders dispensed
by this woman, but this was deemed
hopeless. This method Of fooling the
public is very old one. An account Of
something very like the performance Of
this French woman can be found IN
chapters l2to Is Of Maryatt's novel
"Japhet in Search of o Father" Tho
heading to one Of these chapters is "It
is very easy to humbug those who are %
eager to be humbuegsd as people are in
this world Of rumbug." The people
were amused by the teeth pulling and
brou ht the alledged remedies out Of
curiosity, without knowing what they
we're intended for, as there are but few
in this happy land who cannot afford to
spend half dollar to be amused, NO
particular harm was done, aud the
woman was entitled to some femunersi
tion for pulling teeth.
But all tho free show on the street
was nothing but sowing seed for tho
golden harvest, which the queen Of iakirs
is now reaping.
The Ofegonian has to say; that to the
best belief and knowledge, the deaf;
blind and lame who were treated BY this
woman on tho street, are deaf, blind and
lame still. The teeth pulling are sill
out, to be sure, but all those lame old
women who, after ten minutes in the
golden chariot, threw aside their
crutchcs and "danced," are now hobbling
around by tho aid Of those same crutches
The Oregonian advises people not to
place too much confidence 10 4 "doctor'
who introduces hcrselfto tho public after
the usual style Of charlitaus, and wHo
cannot possibly be anything more than al
ordinary human being It il very
strange that people will be 20 foolish !,
to pay IS to get chance to be imposed
} upon, but if they will do it, thsy need
not complain. Oregonian.

The TELLER gets teIe.r!m: We
had had no advise from Mr.. HALEY since
his letter to us from Washington OF
April, wherein he defines his position
fully upon the annexation question, and
knowing the man We gave credit to the
statement, aud heard nothing more di
rectly from him till the morning of
election, when We received telegram
from him, dated Shoshone, denying that
he had opposed annexation in speech
or in any other manner, ms his enemies
had charged. This We publish SC as to
be circulated in this city"
Pretty cute in you, Mr.. TELLER, to
receive and publish this campaign lie on
the morning OF election in order to dc.
ceive the voters of Lewiston, when you
had ample time to investigated, and il
you saw fit, to have published the facts.
We mean no slur upon the character Of
John Haiicy. We do not believe for
one moment that your pretended telc-
gram was genuine. If it was, John
Haley is not tn. man We take him to be
But he viii be in the fftieth congress
and will have ample time to attend to
your little segregation scheme. Will he
do it? No, his actions will give the lie
to your pretended telegram.--Boise
city Republican.
1t does not matter whether or not you
believe our telegram was genuine; your
pcrversity does not change the fact.
These are the facts, "On the morning
Of Oct. 26, 1886, we received the fol-
lowisg telegram:
Blacktoot, I. T., Oct. &c, 1886.
To A. Leland, Lewiston, Idaho Terr
HALEY is openly agaiust annexation
and has so declared in a lpecch at Boise
City.
| II. NJ. BENNETT,
| Chairman.
| We did not know where HALEY then
was, but had reason to think that if he
had made such speech Gov. Stevenson
would know Of it, and accordingly We
addressed letter to Gov. Stevenson
containing copy Of this dispatch, that
he could either confirm or deny the dis
patch, and sent the letter to Boise City
in a special delivery envelope.
On the 3lst Of Oct. we received the
rollowing:
i "Boise City, Oct. 81, 1886.
To Alonzo Leland, ESQ.,, Lewiston Idaho
1 Territory.
Blackfoot dispatch is false in every
particular. Haley made no such state

Civil service won't work. It's en-.
forcement would stop the wheels OF
government, at least so far as the pos.
tai service is an integral part. For
it is as natural for o country Post
master to take to politics as for duck
to take to the water or ben hawk to
chickens. Hardly would a Postmas-
ter be appointed before he wou Id
have to be removed, and Mr.. Villas,
though he should work thirty-four
hours day, could never fill the va.
cancies. Mr.. Villas would die of over
work in trying to find country Post
masters warranted to keep out of pol
itics, and the country Postmasters, if
they had to keep out ofpolitics, would
die of tedium.
