Boycotting in California.
Argonaut, 23d.
In another part of this paper
will be found a communication
from one of the Mussel flouerh
settlers, i elating to the land
troubles in that district. This
particular settler is not one of
those who constitute the "Settlers'
Land League," and who banded
themselves together for the pur
pose of lesisting the lavs of the
United States. Ho is one of nine
teen settlers who have in good
faith gone upon the railroad lands,
prepared to pay for them, and to
build up homes for themselves.
They were prepared to pa3' for
their lands, they were prepared for
hard and long toil upon their
lands, but they were not prepared
for outrage at the hands of the land
leaguers. These individuals seem
to have adopted a course toward
the nineteen settlers something
akin to the "boycotting" practiced
by their namesakes in Ireland.
There has been a great deal of
nonsense talked and written about
the ''wrongs" of these land
leaguers. There has been a great
deal of sympathy extended toward
them. There has been a great
deal of odium attached to those
who have ventured to think and
say that the decisions of our courts
and the process of our laws should
be respected. There has been a
clamorous outcry against ex-President
Hayes because he declined to
pardon these men when they had
.been given a light sentence after
a fair trial. And now it would be
well for some of their supporters
to read the account of this settler,
and ask themselves whether it is a
good thing for America and Ameri
can institutions that the methods
of the Irish land leaguers should
be introduced into this country.
It would be well for them to ask
themselves whether, if they went
upon railroad land in good faith,
prepared to pay for it, the' would
like to be driven from it by an
armed mob; whether they would
like to see their houses reduced to
ashes by this land league. We
are not talking of Ireland, be it
understood; we are speaking of
America. And we are ashamed
to say that we think that the
majority of the men who have
resorted to this un-American way
of righting what they profess to
believe are wrongs, were born
upon American soil; that .they are
native-born citizens of the coun
try whose Jaws they have outraged
and whose authority they have
defied.

WALLA WALLA.
A LULL IX BUSINESS-DARK
TlOUIiS BEFORE THE DAWN
OF BRJ OUTER DAYS.
A HARD WINTER. WANT OF SHELTER.
AND BURNED STRAW STAC1CS
THE CAUSE.
Watchman, April 9th.
Can you peceive the lull, which
at present pervades the whole up
per country? If you can not, we
can, but do not feel alarmed. IVs
not the calm which preceeds a
storm, but the dark hour just be
fore the break of day. For the
last two weeks many begun to look
dejected, and want to sell ont.
Others have sold out and gone
elsewhere, to return again in the
near future, but what causes the
lull? is the question. Certainly
not the prospects before us, but
the misfortunes wrought by the
season passed, when we raised but
a half crop, received a half price
I for it, 'and to cap the lassitude, a
haid winter found us in a hard
condition and one half of our stock
died for want of shelter and food,
in fact every avenue through
which money would flow into this
country, was suddenly blockaded,
cut off as it were, and left
us temporarily in the cold,
but such things, thank Heaven,
happen not every year, perhaps
never in our time again; we see no
earthly .cause for homc-sickness or
despondency, any more than we see
the necessity for well men getting
the measels or mumps, iu order to
feel better after gettingovor the dis
ease. True, times are hard and
money is scarce. It's neither a mys
tery nor a secret. Real estate is
also on the decline, all of which for
causes above mentioned, but wait
and see the reaction, produced by
an abundont harvest, with better
prices for our wheat, better and
multiplied facilities for .shipping it
to a market; when stock men will
have butter and cheese for sale by
the ton, instead of buying it by the
pound; when our wool will be turn
ed into woolen goods at home, in
stead of being sent abroad in sacks
and returned to us at an im
mense cost, in bales; when
we manufacture what we need
and ship what we raise in
abundance. Look at Utah! With
all her faults, she is prosper
ous, because necessity has taught
her people to be industrious, fru
gal aud self reliant, and to day
they manufacture, what we import,
even are prepared for war and if
need be, cast their own cannon
and make their own powder. What
do we manufacture? We raise
wheat, and when that is said, all is
said. Well, wheat itself is not
bad, on the contrary is good as
gold, provided we can get a fair
price. So far we never were thus
fortunate. We had alvays to take
what we could get, for sundiy rea
sons, but it's a long lane that has
no turns. We have the highest
authority for saving to our readers,
that our darkest hour is fleeting
from our view and dav is breaking.
We know this present depression
is not confined to a certain class of
people. It is general, and affects
the business man, artisan and tiller
of the soil alike. Clerks stand
listlessly "behind counters, waiting
for customers; patrons who used
to pay cash, ask for an unlimit
ed credit, and laborers of
every description receive Miiall
wages, all of which augurcs
poorly for a country prene to
boast, but wc arc not alone.
Indeed vie sometimes call to
our bosom the consoling impres
sion that we are among God's
favored few, for when people here
cry for money wherewith to pay
freight bills, people in other coun
tries feel compelled to open soup
houses to prevent a bread' riot.
When we call it cold in winter,
people back East in the same lati
tude, freeze to death in bed.
When our hot spell comes upon
us and we seek shady places and
read the news, people in other
countries drop dead from sun
strokes. In fact we never yet
noticed times hard in this country,
but what we found them harder
still, away from here, nor sickness
and distress; but what came two-
fold upon people in other zones
and other climes. Did you ever
think of this? And those who
now contemplate leaving for the
good of their health or to better
their condition, will sotne day re
turn and say: "There's no place
like home," and when we make
use of that endearing werd: Home,
we mean the place where we can
earn our daily bread in peace and
ease, and that place is Washing
ton territory, if not the entire
Pacific Northwest.
Banks Himself.
Oregonlan, 29th.
So it appears that Rev. L. A.
Banks of the so-called temperance
paper at Vancouver is the same
Rev. L. A. Hanks who violated his
obligation a a Good Templar in
Oregon and had to withdraw from
the order. However, he pleads
that his offense was "a little one,"
as he only drank cider. It was
"the fresh juice of the apple" that
unpleasantly interrupted his rela
tions with the society. The brother
might as well have made a clean
breast of it and confessed that it
was the subtle blood of the grape.
Wc have given him the benefit of
an occasional paragraph lately for
the reason that he is bringing re
proach on the temperance cause
by vilifying those who are better
temperance people than himself,
and who moreover arc no hypo
crites, eithor.
Who is the "Wife?
Philadelphia Record.
The decision of the United
States Supreme-court in the Utah
bigamy case, that a conviction
based on the testimony of one of
the wives of the bigamist should
not stand because the wife cannot
legally testify against her husband,
ought to lead to the revision of the
law of evidence in Utah. The
testimony of the wives of polygam
ists should be made competent in
cases of this nature.
This opinion has long been held
by others than the Record. It is
competent for congress to pass a
law, so guarded as to insure the
safety of disgusted polygamous
wives, that will make swift wit
nesses of them. Again, the ex
clusion of such testimony, on the
ground that tho wife cannot testify
against the husband, raises the in
quiry as to who is the wife? Sure
ly, it would be strange ruling for
American judges to say that a
dozen women arc the Vful wives
of one man!
Peruvian Blttorw.
Cinchona Rubra
The Count Cinchou was the Spanish
Viceroy in Peru in 1G30. The Countess,
Ills wife, was prostrated by an intermit
tent fever, from w Inch she was freed by
tne use or tue native renieuj', the reru
vian bark, or. as it as called in the
language of the country, Quinquina."'
Grateful for her recovery, on her return
to Europe in lCrj, she introduced the
remedy in Spain, where it was known
under various names, until l.innams
called it Cinchona, in honor of tlie lady
who bad brought them that which was
more precious than the gold of thclncas.
To this day. after a lapse of two hun
dred and lift- j ears, .science has given
us nothing to take its place. It effectu
ally cures a morbid appetite for stimu
lants, by restoring the natural tone of
the stomach. It attacks execbshe love
of liquor as it does a fever, and destrojv
botli alike. The powerful tonic virtue
of the Cinchona is preserved in tlie
Peruvian Bitters, w Inch are as effectUe
against malarial fever to-lay us thev
were in the daj.s of the old Spanish
Viceroy. Wc guarantee the ingredi
ents of these bitters to be absolutely
pure, and of the best known quality.
A trial will satisfy you that this is the
best bitter in tl world. "The proof of
the pudding is in the eating," and we
willingly abide this test. For sale by
all druggists, grocers and liquor dealers.
Order it.
A cough, cold or sore throat should be
stopped. Neglect frequently results in
an incurable lung disease or consump
tion, lirown's Bronchial troches do not
disorder the stomach like cough syrups
and balsams, but act directly on the iu
llamed parts, allaying irritation, give
relief in asthma, bronchitis, coughs,
catarrh, and the throat troubles which
singers and public j-peakers are subject
to. For thirty years Brown's bronchial
troches have been recommended bv
physicians, and ahas give perfect
satisfaction, naving ucen tested by
wide and constant use for nearly an en
tire generation, they have attained well
merited rank among the few staple
remedies of the age. Sold at 25 cents a
box everywhere.
Did any scientific physician know
tlie formula from which Amnion's Cough
Syrup is prepared, lie would not onlv
recommend, but prescribe it to his pa
tients troubled with a cough or cold, or
anj disease of the throat and lungs.
Try it. It has no equal. For tlie benefit
of those who would saj -Another hum
