The good Indians on the reserva.
ton have been pleading Tor deliver
ance from the influence Of the bad
white men on the reservation ever
since the reservation was thrown
open for settlement. During the
first period of the rush to this
reservation the evil minded white
men were subjected to restraining
influences, but these have been re-
moved in great degree. Agent
Fisher retained vestige of author
ity over the domain during those
days. but gradually this has been
restricted till he is powerless in
many instances to defend his wards
against the cupidity of the white
men. Agent Fisher is "a strong
man in the place. His influence
has overcome many influt noes that
would have overrun weaker man,
but he has been handicapped by
abortive efforts at reformation and
civilization that have been pro-
noted by eastern officials who
never saw an Indian, and by
societies of old maids which pro-
mulgated theories unsupported by
experience. The whiskey traffic
is the prime cause of complaint.
This could be controlled by Agent
Fisher if he had the authority to
do so. There was never an ex-
cuse for restricting the agents
to protect his wards.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

whole subject then is the DISPOSE
ton of what is now our possessions.
the question of government will be
the first consideration. No party
or government agent has outlined
a government of particular kind
therefore we have not assumed i'm
perialism, not even proposed it.
The aim OF all parties will doubt
less be to give the natives the best
possible government whether at
the expense of great or small out
lay or at the sacrifice of principles
if need be. The fact that these
people are under the authority OF
our government. at our mercy,
makes their disposition a patriotic
consideration. When the principle
OF liberty is on tie rack this gov
eminent as the champion of per-
sonal liberty cannot maintain self
respect and falter when duty calls.
There is but one course for the
United States to pursue and that
is to give the natives of our new
possessions good republican gov
eminent and we must enforce that
form of government from patriotic
motives, for all good Americans
realize the fact that dependency
under our republicanism is the
highest CONSTANT form of liberty.

The business of this great
county has outgrown the public
facilities. The Jail is inadequate.
1t was built for pioneer conditions
when the people were too honest
to get in Jail and when they would
not try to get out if they should
get in. The court house and Jail
require a sewerage system as a
consequence of our progress. The
county can't keep up with the
march and be too stingy with
public money. The rush has only
just begun. The public institu-
tons should keep ahead OF the pro-
cession in the forward march of
enterprise.

The policy of the government
in Its relation with miners is very
liberal. Instructions issued by
the commission which appear in
this issue Of the Teller will be OF
interest to placer miners. Com
panies of not less than eight part.
ners which are promoting big
schemes will observe that they
may hold 100 acres by one loca-
ton and by doing location and
annual assessment work to the
amount of $Ioo all at one point on
the / 90 acre tract. The questisn
of timber and OF locations on the
timber reserves has disturbed
many miners and prospectors. The
instructions nowfrom Commissioner
Hermann are that timber from
each claim may be used within the
reservation borders and that addi-
tional timber can be bought under
regulations for actual use in the
district or vicinity of the mine To-
cation. Practically these timber
reserves will not interfere with the
development of the mining indus
tries under these instructions. Mr..
Hermann is a western man and he
is disposed to be both practical
and liberal in his administration.

The Lewiston postoffice demands
some special attention at the hands
Of the authorities. The rapid
growth of the city has made the
handling of the mail hardship
upon the postmaster and his clerks.
The mail OF the past six months,
that has passed through this Office.
could not be handled for the gov
eminent allowances. Every posi-
Bile effort has be n made to meet
the demands of the public. The
delivery of the Office is SO great
that it cannot be handled at one
window. The public suffers in
convenience when every facility is
utilized to its utmost And the
demands of the Office will be
doubled within the next two
months. The mail will be practi-
ca,ly blockaded here before this
quarter closes unless some emer-
eency measures are instituted by
the department or by individual
effort. Lewiston now has earned
the right to free delivery system
under the regulations of the de-
partment. If this matter is formu
lated and forwarded as a public
measure backed up by evidence
and influence free delivery can
be secured for Lewiston in short
time. In justice to the postmaster
and to the public this matter
should be urged before the pos,
Office department. Our Washing
ton delegates if supplied with data
can secure this relief without great
delay. The matter should be pre-
Sc tied at once.

Official Paper of Nez Perez County
Newspapers and Other Papers.

The Teller is charitable enough
to observe that retiring officers
may have been obligiug, generous
and competent, and at the same
time it has the moral courage to
point out any failings, faults or
malfeasancc that may have been
known in advance or that may de-
velop from the light of investiga-
lion. The brave man does his
fighting while the foe stands reso
lutte and defiant. Akin to bravery
is respect for the vanquished, the
PROSTATE, the dead foe. There are
those who are SO imbued with ven
ON that they would follow the
soldiers who do battle and mutilate
the dead. Because the Teller is
generous to the politically dead
the Tribune and others, with the
instinct of the jackal, cry incon-
sistency, sycophancy.
The man or the paper that is
blind like the beetle, that sees but
one candle in the dark, is helpless
as friend and harmless as a foe.
Whenever question of public
policy demands attention from the
Teller, and that question is above
and beyond the level III which the
Tribune grovels, it proceeds, not
to refute in manly way, the facts
presented, but to tell the people
what they should think about the
policy of the Teller after that policy
is contorted out of semblance of its
former self by the Tribune. 1t
dictates to its following, few
weaklings yet waiting an awaken
ing sure to come, what they must
think about these questions. In
The face Of accumulated evidence
the Tribune should not further de-
ceive itself into the belief that the
people wait for it to tell them what
to think about the policy of the
Teller.
While the reference in our last
issue may have been like stamping
hard upon political graves, duty
to the public demanded plain state
ments. If there are unpaid bills
left over even from 1897, If there
are supplies awaiting acceptance
by the county and supplies accept
ed by the county III excess pfneeds
and demands, this journal is re.
quired to publish the facts te
justify the work of present officers
in cutting some bills, rejecting
others, and in allowing very ole
bills. This publication was due
the public. If there is no founda
ton in fact for these statements
the Tribune owes refutation tc
the public. Only few will biindly
believe this or that just because
the Tribune tells them to believe
that way. Either refute the
charges or wear crepe in silence.

THE TRANSVAAL TROUBLE.

a dispatch of a few days ago stated
that the president of the Transvaal re-
public and the British representative
had separated in apparently the most
friendly spirit, but later advices indi-
cate that such was not the case. Ac-
cording to advices furnished the Lon
don newspapers the president of the
Boer republic was disposed to make
some concessions, but he was not will
ing to go as far in this respect as the
English representative desired and con-
sequently, while there was not a dis
agreement which can be regarded as at
all menacing to the peace of the two
countries, the hoped-for friendly solu-
tiOn of the trouble is still in the future
AS a matter of fact, according to the
statement of the British colonial Secre-
tary, the situation is still perpleXiny
one and he is Il remarkably wise man
who can forecast what the outcome will
be- The Transvaal government seems
disposed to make some concessions, but
not to the extent that is asked by the
Uitlanders, and until the demands Of
the latter are recognized it is reason
ably certain that no arrangement can
be effected
1T is an extraordinary state of affairs.
The Beers, on the one hand, claim the
right to an absolute control of affairs
and insist upon exercising an arbitrary
administration in all departments of
government. The UitlanderS demand
that they shall be given certain rights
and privileges by reason of the fact
that they have most of the wealth OF
the country and pay most of the taxes.
They have very plausible position, but
If the Beers We're to concede 1t they
would practically give up the control
of the country to the Uitlanders and
naturally they are not disposed to do
this. The issue is n very serious one
and its future developments will be
awaited with universal interest.
