All the Mexican officers are loud in
their compliments of Crook, and say
he is the only genuine Indian fighter in
the world. The Mexican citizens are
congratulating the Americans on ererj
hand with the expression, '"Viva
Crook; viva el Americanol" They feel
that Sonora is redeemed from the
Mood-thirsty Apaches, and they give
Crook all the credit.
It is the privilege of the world to
laugh at the follies of people, and they
exercise it. But it takes a real good
man to forgive them. The world will
forgive a man more readily for the
commission of a sin of some magnitude,
than a foolish act It is evidence of
real goodness of heart, to see one ready
to forgive the follies of others. We
suppose that would be applicable for
people wbo get mad at newspaper.
A report from the records of the
courts of France upon the relation-between
education and crime describes
results directly opposed to those ob
tained in the United1 States Courts
Of 25,000 persons wholly illiterate,
five were criminals; of the same num
ber able to read and writ, six were
tarnsijressors, and of an equal number
of persons of superior instruction, fif
teen were under the ban. Relapses
into crime were found much more nu
' merous among educated people.
Many persons have wondered why
it was that the new nickel didanot hare
the word "cents" upon its face, so as
to designate more definitely than the
solitary V does the real value of it.
It has been ascertained from high au
thority that its omission was entirely
accidental and, owing to the fact that
the Director of the Mint at Phila
delphia was ignorant of his business,
being a politician and a relative of ex
President Hays, by whom he was ap
pointed. A man who understood his
business would never have made this
blunder. About $25,000 worth of
coins of this stamp have been issued,
but the Government is fast calling
them in and must stand the loss.
The following from the San Jose
"Herald" will apply to Orcqon: Every
day demonstrates the fact that land
will soon be in great demand all over
the country. The tens of thousands
of immigrants who are coming to our
shores every month must be provided
for somehow, and as there is very lit
tle public domain now open to settlers,
they must buy or rent land from private
owners. And as land comes into use
it will naturally increase in value and
be more difficult to obtain, and the
time appears not to be far distant when
those who own land will prefer to hold
it and rent it to eultivatorsv In other
words, the United States is fast ap
proaching the condition of the old
world, where land is owned by the few
and cultivated- by tenants. It is not
a pleasant prospect.
It is now proposed to change the
name of Washington Territory upon
her admission to the Union as a State
to Tahoma, which is said to be the
proper orthography for the name
written Tacoma. Tahoma is an Indian
word moaning "Almost to Heaven,"
and was the name given by the In
dians to Mount Rainier, on account of
the great height of that mountain,
which is put down at 14,000 feet
above sea level. We feel inclined to
favor the proposed change of name
for many reaions. Nearly every state
and Territory has a county of Wash
ington and also a town called Wash
ington. Should Idaho and Washing
ton be admitttd as states, with North
Idaho as an adjunct of the western
sister, and with names unchanged, we
would have the distressing anamolies
of a Washington county in Idaho and
an Idaho county in Washington, be
sides a town of Washington in Idaho
county, State of Washington.
It is said that there are about 60,
000 Indians in the United States living
on reservations, who cost the country
810,000,000 annually, and the sum is
increasing yearly. The total Indian
population of the dominion of Canada
is 110,505, of whom 37,044 are in the
northwest, and 35,052 in British Co
lumbia. The northwest Indians cor
respond in their habits and character
istics to those of the United States,
yet Canada manages them, clothes,
feeds, educates, and trains them in in
dustrial pursuits for about $1,30D,000
annually. That is to say, the Canadian
Indian population costs the- govern,
ment $35 a year per head, while that
of the United States- costs- 160- pet
head, apart from, the expense of mili
tary and police surveillance, which is
infinitely less in Canada. The ex
planation of this difference in cost will
be found in the radical distinction be
tween the Indian policies of the two
countries.
ARCHBISHor BLANCHET.
Francis Norbert Blanchet, ex-Archbishops
of Oregon, was the oldest of
our American prelate.". He was bom
in St. Peter's parish, Province of
Quebec, Canada, on the 3rd of Sep
tember, 1795, and ordained priest on
July 18th 1819. In the month of
October, 1820, he was appointed to a
mission in New Brunswick, which he
administered for six years. Among
his flock Father Blanchet counted a
large number of Micmack Indians, and
their descendants; who according to a
recent letter, still preserve a lively
remembrance of their old missionary.
Father B. spent twelve years more in
Canada as pastor of-Gcda's parish in
the district of Montreal. His charity
and heroism, during the cholera in
1832, are remembered to this day.
The protestants in the parish pre
sented him at the time, with two beau
tiful silver cups, as a token of their
admiration for his conduct in visiting
the sick and dying during the raging
pestilence. His career as an American
missionary began in 1838, he left Mon
treal on the 5th of May and reached
Vancouver,. W. T. only on the 24th of
November.- The career of Archbishop
B., embracing a period of nearly 45
years in Oregon, is long and interest
ing. On his arrival the Catholic
Church had no existence at all; he
watched over its infancy, has been a
constant witness of its progress- and an
able promoter of. its advancement.
The Vicariate of the Northwest com
prised then the entire' country north
of California and from the Rocky
mountains to the Pacific ocean. It
was Archbishop B. who built the first
brick church in Oregon in 1843", amid
obstacles peculiar to the time and
place, and the same building still serves
the people of St. Paul, Marion county.
In 1845, Rev. F. N. Blanchet was
named Bishop by Pope Gregory XVI
and the episcopal consecration was
received in Montreal on the 25th of
July sumo year. Returning im
mediately the new pastor assumed the
duties of his position, which he has
since filled to his own credit and to
the satisfaction of bis subjects. Two
objects seem to have especially occupied
the Bishop's attention during his long
administration, viz: to provide homes
for the orphans and the sick and to
promote the cause of christian edu
cation. For theattainment of these ends
he has labored with a persevering
energy that overcame multiplied diffi
culties. That his efforts have resulted
in an eminent success is attested by
the co" di'.ion of the Dioceso today.
The mission in 1838 vas but a mustard
seed, but the little grain was no sooner
buried-' as it were in the earth than it
quickly sprang up snd even grew into
a pretty large tree, which spreads its
branches far and near. For these
things Archbishop B's memory will
be revered in future times. "The
path of the just is as the shining light."
Proverbs. X.
Personal Journalism.
Referring to the killing of A. Town
send, editor of the "Sentinel," by Mr.
Montgomery, because of the slander of
his dead mother, theRed Bluff "Cause"
says:
Personal journalism has caused the
death- of many men, and has been the
i means of breaking the hearts of many
wives, desolating houses and bringing
deep grief and sorrow to-children and
friends. There is a law againts carry
ing concealed weapons and still men
will do it. There is also an unwritten
law of retributive justice, acknowledged
and recognized by society, which up
holds the slayer of i man who has
robbed a daughter of her virtue, a
wife of honor, or a mother, dead or
living, of her good name. Society may
be wrong, no doubt is, in the eyes of
man and God's laws. Still society do
mands that the traducer and villifier
I shall be shot and killed, and failing or
refusing to do this, society points the
finger of scorn at the injured son, hus
band, father or brother, and calls hi'u
a coward, and society brands hinv as
such, and he goes through the world
the balance of his life lite Cain. So
ciety is all wrong in this, and while
that is true, it will not put its foot
down on, or repudiate and spurn from
its doors and hearthstones, the vile
sheets that indulge iu personal journ
alism. Mn Webb, the painter, claims that
a solution of charcoal and oil is the
best thing yet discovered for preserv
ing wood. Some six or seven years
ago, he placed some wooden headboards
at some graves in the cemetery at this
place, dipping the ends of the boards
in this solution before inserting them
in the ground, and he now finds, upon
examination, that they are as sound as
they were the day they were placed in
the ground. This is an item worthy
the attention of farmers and others
who have fences to build as the ex
pense is small and it will cost but little
to try iU'Curry County Post"
Entire Reservation Thrown Open.
Several months ago the President
restored to the public domain a large
part of the Malheur reservation. On
the 21st ultimo President Arthur
threw open th entire reservation ex
cept 320 acres upon which old Camp
Harney buildings are situated. The
secretary of the. interior has instructed
the general land office to sell the 320
acres referred to.
Following is a copy of tho official
order received yesterday by Congress
man M. C. George:
Executive Mansiox, May 21, 1882.
It is hereby ordered that the Mai
heur Indian reservation in the State of
Oregon, except a tract of 320 acres
described in an executive order dated
September 13, 1882, as "the north
half of the late military post reserve
of Camp Harney, as established by ex
ecutive order Dec 5, 1872," be and
the same is hereby restored to the pub
lic domain, tho same being no longer
required for the purpose for which it
was set apart.
Chester A. Arthur.
All Europe seems to havev been
astonished at the pageantry of Mackay,
the American bonanza king, on his
journey to Moscow. His display was
the subject of universal comment, but
his practical experience in mining ap
pears to have attracted the notice of
the Nihilists, They were anxious to
learn something, it seems, from the
great American. The following from
the "Garson Appeal" is a good thing
on the reported interview:
When Mackay was in Moscow a
number of Nihilists waited upon him
and a'-ked liini to give them some
points on the mining operations which
they were to conduct under the Czar's
palace. Mr. Mack'ay was-very much
interested and said that he would' fur
nish a shift of miners who would reauh
the palace in three days. "In that
-oft formation I see here," said Mackay
"a tunnel ought to go ten feet a day,
and then when you get under Tmpeiial
bonanza begin an upraise. Then get
your giant powder ready and short the
Czar, seller ninety." The Nihilists
were very much impressed with his
advice and began cross cutting at once
in the lower levels.
The star route trial is over and the
accused are acquitted. Whether real
ly guilty will not be decided in the
minds of many of our citizens, al
though the verdict of the jury goes to
establish their innocence. No wonder
that the Courtroom rang out with a
shout of thankfulness when the fore
man announced the verdict, and that
the air was rent with loud cheers ns
soon as the news was communicated to
the anxious assembly at the door. The
whole nat'on heaves a sigh of relief
that the case is ended. Tho poor jury
men have hail a hard, tedious time of
it, and what the sufferings of the de
fendants have been during thirteen
months of intense anxiety and direst
suspense cannot be described; years of
penal servitude would not have been
halfso hard to bear as has been the
alternation of hopo and despair they
have experienced during tho trial.
It has been a 'fat" case for the lawyers,
but even with the hope of a handsome
fee, the case has been a source of great
anxiety to them, and a heavy tax on
their mental and physical energies.
The Executive Committee of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, has passed
a resolution calling on the Treasurer
and General Auditor to prepare and
submit a statement showing the net
earnings due the stock holders at the
close of the fiscal year ending the 30th
instant The uncompleted portion of
the road is now only 118 miles. This
gap will be ready for travel, it is
thought, by the end of August. The
formal opening of the road will take
place at the western portal of Mullen's
tunnel, which is just west of Helena,
Montana early in September.

Piles! Piles! Piles!
A SURE CURE FOUND
AT LAST!
NO ONE NEED SUFFER!
A sure Cure for Blind, Bleeding, Itching
and Ulcerated Piles has been discovered
by Dr. William, (an Indian Remedy,)
called Dr. "William's Indian Ointment. A
single box has cured the worst chronic
cases of 25 or 30 years standing. No one

wonderful soothingmedicine. Lotions in
struments and electuaries do more harm
than good. "William's Ointment absorbs
the tumors, allays the intense itching,
(particularly at night after getting warm
in bed,) acts as a potfltice, gives instant
relief, and is prepared only'for Piles, itch
ing of the private parts, and for nothing
else.
Read what the Hon. J. 31. Cofflnberrj
of Cleveland rys about Dr. "William's In
dian Pile Ointment: I have used scores
of Pile Cures, and it afFords me pleasure
to say that I have never found anything
which gave such immediate and perma
nent relief as Dr. "William's Indian Oint
ment. For sale by all druggists or mailed on
