only regret expressed by any Of the

Chicago EUentnq Post: Had the New
York ball team been in as good condl-
ton as the Colts the championship
would not now be in the balance. On
pure merit the Giants are by far the
best club in the National League. As
base runners, as fielders, as general
players for team work and careiessness
as to record making, and certainly as
batterS, the New Yorks transcend all
League clubs. Such clean, splendid
and superlatively athletic ball as they
have played in Chicago is not often SEEN
The New Yorks to-day are perhaps as
strong club as they were in 1883, when
they won the national flag. And those

COL. COMPTON AND THE wALLA
wALLA OUTRAGE.

Sixteen soldiers are under arrest at
Walla Walla, suspected of having had a
share in the murder of gambler Hunt,
and four others, supposed to have been
members of the mob, have deserted.
There were in all about fifty directly con-
nected with the outrage. The investiga-
ton is slowly proceeding, and it Is be-
lieved that there will be many other ar
rests, provided, of course, that the guilty
men do not in the meantime take alarm
and run away.
In this investigation the United States
authorities are beginning at the wrong
end. While it is true that the murder was
the work of the soldiers, IL is equally true
that they would not have been permitted
to do it had their commanding officer been
an energetic and competent man, sincerely
DESTROYS of maintaining the peace. The
chief blame for this outrage rests upon the
man that could have prevented 1t,
and that man is Colonel Compton.
His failure to enforce discipline the day
before the murder when the guard refused
to obey the captain, his failure on the
evening of the murder (when warned by
the civil authorities of Walla Walla
county, to keep his men in quarters, his
plea that it was customary for the troops
to visit the city ct night.an that he could
not prevent it--these are facts which DEM
onstrate either an utter want of capacity
or what is suspected to be fact, that the
commandant was not unwilling that his
men should avenge their comrade who
had been killed.
The first man who should have been ar
rested was Colonel Compton. He has dis
graced the service. has proven himself in
every way untitled for military command.
and he should be dismissed from the army
in disgrace.

wILFuL WASTE OF TIMER.

The approach of summer is accompanied
by the annual destruction Of forests by
fire. The incidental destruction of life
and property may not be sufficient to
arouse government interest in the conse-
qaences, but the future loss TO the CON-
mercial interests of the country may. per-
haps. he potently appealed to.
Many Of the fires are, no doubt, caused
hy accident, but more are due 20 criminal
negligence. and even more to wanionness.
The laws of Canada for the protection OF
forests have many features worthy of imi.
tatSon by the federal government.
IL may he difficult TO detect and punish
merely wilful firing of forests. but there is
much greater damage done through fres
resulting from clearing land by settlers.
They have the right 70 destroy because
there is no law against burning trees upon
acquired land. The folly is in permitting
such destruction. There are hundreds Of
miles Of land covered by timber which is
commercially of less value now 70 the set
tier than the cleared land which is pur-
chased eheaply enough to make it prof.
able to denude Of timber and cultivate.
in few years, however, when the inter.
vening space Is cleared by mercantile util-
iration of the trees, and facilities are af-
foried for further penetration, the loss

The stste of Washington is particularly

THE IrArA AND THE srYx.

The chase, or the reputed chase, of the
Chilean steamer Itata By the United States
warship Charleston, with the possibly
fateful chance that the latter will find the
former conveyed by the ponderous Chill
can ironclad Esmeralda, recalls an incl
dent of anti-rebellion slavery days, when
the Styx, British gunboat, was aggravat-
ingly active along the Cuban coast in
waylaying and boarding American mer-
chantmen suspected of being engaged in
tho slave trade, which England held to be
piracy.
As our government was then admins
tered by those who were not at all averse
to slavery, but distinctly defenders of it as
divine institution, these demonstrations
by the Styx were highly incensing to the
American authorities, and the most for
midable warship in the service was dis
patched from the Brooklyn navy yard to
pursue and punish the presumptuous lit
tie maritime busy-body.
Just after clearing Sandy Hook the ma
chinery of the warship broke down, and
she was compelled to lay to for repairs
This caused delay of several days, at
the end of which time she again steered
seward, but when off Cape Hatteras
sprung a leak, necessitating further de-
lay until it was stopped, which was
somewhat tedious process. Hardly had
she recovered from this mishap and made
fresh start when her engines again br oke
down.
After repairing this damage and con-
tinuing her course southwark, just as the
coast of Cuba was sighted she broke her
shaft, fell into the trough of the sea and
lay helpless and in peril. Just then a
steamer hove in sight, and the American
captain hoisted signal of distress, which
was promptly responded to by the
stranger, which steamed up, threw the
man-of-war q hawser and towed her into
the port Of Havana. And, strange to say,
the savior of this formidable man-of-war
was the little Styx, which she had proudly
steamed out of New York harbor for the
purpose of demolishing.
But it is to be hoped, and there is no
reason to fear the contrary, that this scrap
of history will not be repeated in the case
of the Itata and the Charleston. And vet
there is little room 10 doubt that the SYM
pathies of the American people are rather
with the Chilean insurgents than with the
selfish dictator, Baimaceda. and therefore
with the purpose of the Ishta to aid the
former. This sympathy, however, would
not extend to fight with an American
cruiser, and especially not with so great
a fayorite as is the Charleston.

stated that quite large number of con-
tractors horses have been sent TO

Der of men have been thrown
out Of employment on account of the
slackness of grade work. This is very un-
fortunate and seems quite unnecessary as
so many property owners are willing to
have grading done. The old method was
not a good one but it allowed ten per cent.
interest on deferred payments and little
difficulty was experienced at that rate.
The new method would be much better if
there were not such stringency in East

A sixteen pound carp was shot In Cow creek
last week by Bismarck scholl. Louis, in COM
paDy with his brother Bismarck, were hunting
when they discovered three objects moving the
water, several inches of the back exposed. The
boys thought 10 was otter or muskrats, but rife
shot by Bismarck killed one, which proved to be
huge carp. Several years ago Lake Colville,
near Sprague, was stocked with these fish, and
this is probably one of those, as the creek finds
fits source in the above lake. There were three,
but only one was secured.-Rtzville Times.
