Common Sense. It is a well-established principle says an exchange, that the people make the place, not its facilities for business. It is true that an euergotic and prosperous people may be kept back for a lack of natural advantages, bat this is not often the case. A thousand towns are kept in check by tho greed and lack of public spirit of the people, where one is kept down by the location. Push and energy overcome all obstacles. Greed and want of energy will kill the moat promising locality. So a village is to be just what its citizens make it. If its land owners hold its lots so high that manufactories are kept out, this will act as a weight to keep it down. If the citizens prefer to patronize the merchants and mechanics of other place, that helps to keep the place down. What is wanted is for the peoplo to be united pi far .13 public good i3 concerned. Patronize each other as far as possible, any new enterprise, especially manufacturies. Give a warm greeting to any new set tler, and give aid so far as may bo in everything that shall tend to the pub lic good. If this policy is pursued a village will rapidly grow and become a thrifty and prosperous town. If, on the contrary, tho peoplo refuse aid to every cnterpriso unless they are to get a big slico of the profit, look upon every new arrival as a pigeon to be plucked, and patronizs their neigh bors only when they cannot do as well or better some where else, a placo will then grow slowly, if at all; its natural advantages will go to waste, and count as nothing in tho question of prosperity.

The search J'ght is one of the most novel of the wonderful inventions of tho nine teenth century. It consist! of three Edison electric lights of 1G candle power each, inclosed in a hermetically sealed glas3 case, which is surrounded by a glass globo, and capable of re sisting the pressure of tho water at a ereat depth.

New coods constant ly arriving. Sport in Walla "Walla . "A disgraceful affair occurred on Main sfeet Saturday afternoon, which provoked much comment and demonstrated that this town could be easily run by drunken roughs were it not for the efforts of two or three de dermincd citens. Saturday Hank Yaughn and several of his herders came into tho city from the reserva tion wilh a sack of $20 gold pieces, amounting to $9,C2D, which they were slinging around among the varioua sa loons with a prodigal hand. By C o'clock the Dartv was in a state of reckless inebriety, and with swearing, shou'ng and running horses through tho street-i. soon attracted a crowd and blocked the street. Officer Ames endeavored to keep the party within bounds with admonition to bo quiet, but one of the men, who afterwards gave his name rs Mcllraith, applied a vile epithet to the officer, and defied him to do his worst. Mr. Ames at tempted to make the arret but was hindered in every way by the "cow boys," who caught hold of Mcll raith and kept him in the saddle in spite of the efforts of Ames to unseat him. Mayor McAuliff came to the re cue of the fearless officer, who was persevering in defiance of the threals of Vaughn and his gang, and finally the arrcsc w?i made, and Yau'din deposited money for the appearance f his tough young protege. Beforo Justice Whitman the trial was he'd, e. rly in tho evening, and Mcllraith kned $'0 and eels for disturbing the pe ce and dignity of the city. This in the opin ion of all is inadequate to the gravo offense. Yauihn also should have been aires, cd for disturbing tho peace, and both should have coaie up on he charge of resisting an officer in the di'.charse of his duty. Thero must bo no half-way policy with regard to ouch char'cteis if the good name of Walla Walla is to be '-ken into con sideration. Strangers who were present at tho fracas express them selvf surprised that such pro ceedings should be allowed, and all were loud in their praise of the cou duct of Officer Ames and Mnyor Mc Auliff."
