SURPRISED AND oR,Eveo.

It has recently come to our ears
that in the opinion of a few
estimable people The TRIBUNE,
under present management, is
altogether to pronounced and out
spoken in its policy; and that
unless it curbs it's wild career,
these same estimable people will
have to check it by Withdrawing
their patronage. We are as much
surprised as grieved to hear of this.
We are surprised to find out on
these wide plains even a single
individual 81 narrow and dog
NAUTICAL. We are surprised to- learn
that anyone breathing the liberty
laden ozone of Canyon county
should become warped in UNDER
standing and deformed in impulse.
Why this atmosphere ought to
breed a breadth of sentiment and q
magnanimity of heart that would
rejoice and glory in free, bold and
independent expression. On the
other hand, we are panied and
grieved, to think that our course
should operate to shock the most
sensitive nerves. We have aimed
to be particularly circumspect.
We have designed to say nothing
which, by the severest .contortion,
could possibly give offense to the
most fastidious individual in his
private or public capacity. If any
word or expression has mad
vertently escaped US, which grated
on delicate sensibilities, we hope it
will be attributed to lack of refined
culture rather than pervssion of
heart. Unhappily, we are not
practiced in the niceties of Language.
Our vocabulary is sadly deficient,
and we can not calfa spade by any
other name without involving the
subject in gloom and perplexity.
Accustomed to the rugged free
dom Of provincial communities, we
are too apt to tresspass on the ele-.
giant formalities of metropolitan
society. But we are taking on pol.
ish; and after while we hope to
become so utterly polite and in
offensive as to make inanity itself
appear pregnant with thought and
throb bing with energy. We came
here determined to please and
propose to do 80 if we have to re.
sort to spring poetry and other
forms of lan1uid dissipation. Soon,
we shall establish a society column
and household department., and
an etiquette bureau and possibly a
curio or bric-a-brac portfolio. Our
genius does not run much to ele.
gancies, but our adoption is unlim.
tied and with q little practice We
hope to handle those exotics with
paesable grace. Don't condemn ne
to soon. We are prone to error,
just like common clay.

a SHORT THESIS.

In civilized government political
parties are organized, professedlv,
fer the purpose Of intoxicating GER
taip fundamental principles the
practice Of which il believed essen
iial to the greatest happiness and
prosperity Of the people. Therefore,
honest men ally themselves to that
party whose doctrines most nearly
conform to their own ideas Of right
and justice. Affiliation on other
grounds, though common in custom,
j. not only dishonest, but eminently
vicious. Aware, then, of the in
ctntive which moves honorable
men to form party combinations
and attachments, we may without
difficulty ascertain at what point
loyalty should cease. But men
ase. as often inspired by passion
and selfishness as BY reason, and
desert party without much respect
% principle, therefore, by evil
association, as it were, party
reconciliation is always regarded
With suspicion and generally held
il disrepute. However, in the
experience Of nearly every man Of
thought and integrity comes a time
when faith in the party to which
he is attached is rudely shaken
and be hesitates between open
disapproval and heartless fealty.
A such time, reason is the only
tsue guide and its dictates should
Be implicitly obeyed. First Of all,
the honest man must inquire
whether he is actuated by principle
or passion and be careful not to
allow prejudice or bias to decide
him. It frequently transpires that
men justify apostasy because Of
some real or imaginary affront to
themselves; and it is too often the
cafe that the renegade assumes a.
superior virtue, and without
charging any violation of principle
abandons his party on the pretext
that it has became too debased for
bis sensibilities. In most cases of
This character the real cause is not
the one ascribed; and it is reason
ably safe to conclude that when a
man claims that his disavowal
Is due to his party's impurity or
his own incorruptibility, the real
trouble is that temptation has been
kept too far beyond his reach and
he joys of the flesh pots hopelessly
deferred. But admitting a shame.

SOME EXPLANATION.

pressed the thought that there was
some doubt as to whether the
attitude if The TRIBUNE would
tend to bring people to Canyon
county or cause them to avoid it.
He explained that while one part
of the paper was disposed to sing
the country's praises, the other
part had about it a flavor OF
depreciation. In reply to that kind
Of talk we have some explanations
to make. In the. first place, to
encourage immigration is not, in
our modest opinion, the whole
mission Of journalism, even in this
magnificent country. In the
second place, because Adam and
Eve sinned in the Garden Of Eden,
the mere fact Of that wickedness
did not, in the least, detract from
the beauties and delights and
pleasures of the garden itself.
Should the Lord desire to repopp-
late the Garden of Eden would it
be Of any advantage to the scheme
to conceal the fact that the original
settlers behaved very badly and
had to be cast out in consequence
thereof If Adam and Eve still
lived in the garden and the Lord
wanted to infuse little new blood
into the community, wouldn't it be
just as we'll to be frank about the
whole business? Under such cir
cumstances we imagine the Creator
would say something like this:
Here ] have splendid country,
rich soil, salubrious climate, album
dant water, everything the heart Of
man conld decently wish for. I
want people to come here and
settle down and make themselves
comfortable homes and live happy
prosperous. lives. This country is
exactly what ] represent it to be,
but it has some slight drawbacks.
The present settlers are a couple of
selfish, sinful, old mossbacks with
trenchant for speculation. They
are not satisfied with enough; they
insist on having too much. I
granted them the privilege Of orig
inal settlement, and urged them to
help themselves to every thing that
was good for them. but cautioned
them against one particular pro.
duct. That wouldn't satisfy them
at all. They wanted the whole
hog; they still want it. But if you
people will only come here to live,
| think those old gormands can be
Strengthened out. think you can
force them into line with the natural
conditions of the country. At
present they are rough-lock on
the wheels Of progress, but they
can't always hold out. Come and
compel them to right about face.
Under their management the whole
"arden is running wild. They
vo,. t cultivate it themselves nor
permit anybody else to
10 it. SaA 70 brush and stink weed
occupy the best soil; the water is

rees and fields are left are. being
,verrun with crickets and jack.
'abbits," Now, we do not pretend
o say it is quite as bad as >that in
canyon county, but there is q
strong trend in that direction-s
'ery strong trend. While we are
,rging people to come here, it be-
comes, in our opinion, part of our
solemn duty to endeavor to open a
way for them to do 90 with the
least possible sacrifice. The coun-
