body else. II Governor Ferry's shattered
health is restored he will return to
Olympia and resume the executive duties,
if not, he will remain in California, or
probably return and resign, as he has
frequently intimated he would do. The
fight against Acting Governor Laughton
has never been a full, open and manly
one. The methods of the newspaper
Malta of this state now engaged with the
stiletto and sawed off gun OF journalistic
assassination, will not succeed. lnuendo
and Indirect charges against an
officials character will not hurt him.
If the two newspapers mentioned
have any direct charges to make against
the official integrity of Acting Governor
Laughton, it is duty they owe the people
to let them be known. If not, for the sake
of decency alone. to cease their inSlnua
lions. Ii is a well known fact that neither
the newspapers of Spokane Falls or Sc
attic are in favor of railway legislation,
aud the newspapers Of the latter named
city instead Of critici ing the vetoeS have
attacked the lieutenant governor person

probably Just as strong for secession as
was John Sidell, who was born In New
York. was educated at Columbia college,
and did not go TO Louisiana until he
was 25.
As indicated by the Oregonian; S. s.
Prentiss died before the war, and of
course it is impossible to tell what he
would have done had he lived TO see
the rebellion. 1t doesn't seem proba-
BILE. however, that with his independ-
ence Of character and great bravery,
that he would have gone into the
secession movement, when some OF
his remarks concerning war of the
South are remembered. The war had
been brewing many years before 1t
came, and once when talking with
some SOuthernerS, concerning the
| probability of such contest, he said:
such a thing is entirely impractical
for many reasons. And if the South
did 20 TO war with the North, the
Southerners would have to go to the
Yankees to buy their guns and then
90 to the Yankees toget their collins.
But after ALL Sergeant 5. Prentiss,
despite his Northern breeding, had the
hot-bluoded instincts of the Southron
and with all his property interests at
the South, and the associations Of the
best part Of his life there, he might
have been influenced by the Sentimen
that surrounds and at aches to thos'
conditions and espoused the confeder
4 ate cause. There is one thing certain
if he had been a rebel, he would hay,
been a hot one.
