Elliott, Sergeant Smart and Private Nolin, . of Troop E, United States Cavalry, stationed at Vancouver barracks, Wash., the men who bo- bravely faied every danger and privation which human nature could possi bly withstand; the men who, for two long, , dreary weeks pushed their boats over rocks and rapids in the ice-cold waters of the' Clear water river in the heart of the Bit ter Root mountains, risking their lives many times each day to res cue General Cirlin's son and party who were lost in the mountain fastnesses. In our estimation, this is a case of the basest ingratitude, in as much as it is reported that General Carlin is many times a millionaire, and had offered a reward of $2500, which was recalled by telegraph after, the rescue party, headed by Lieutenant Elliott had left Ken drick, Idaho, and were far away in the mountain wilderness, and this in the face of the fact, so it is re ported, that the expenses incurred in fitting out the expedition were paid by the members individually, with no, thought of gain, but prompted by the generous, human feeling" that noule; men have for another in distress. ' But this part of the Carlin epi sode is pure charity, , when com pared with the inhuman action of young Carlin and his New York l; friends in abandoning the old cook, . George Colgate, in the cheerless civilization to dW alone in the cold and snow. ' Thel despatches state that the Carlin party say the' old man's limbs hacjpeen bruised so badly by , brewing through the hard crust ffod on the snow, that mortificufyoif hail set in and it was only a matter of "a - few days . until death would ' come aNiy way, and it was dangerous to BtayVwith him any longer and risk their own precious lives, which, by their own estimation, are worth just $50 apiece. It is one of the principles of Western ethics that whenever a , party go together, no matter what the danger may be, that they Bink or BWim, live or tie together. I his the arlin party did not do, but abandoned the old man to his fate. It is estimated that about 142, 000,000 gallons of whisky are ly ing in bonded warehouses with the taxes unpaid. Should the tax be raised from 90 cents (the present rate) to $1 a gallon on all whifeky hereafter produced, the holders of tho whisky now in bond and ex empt from the increased tax would divide among them a pretty plum of tho size of $ 14,000,000. Tho Whisky Trust would proceed to realize upon the product in bond, and the government would wait a year before obtaining any revenue upon the new whisky subjected to the new rato of tax. l.x commenting on tho porkish proclivities of tho Salemites toward State institutions, the Elgin Re corder says: "If a premium were offered for the biggest hog in the state it would undoubtedly be captured by some individual in Salem. Not content with the result of their in junction suit against the soldiers' home at Iloseburg, they now pro pose to bring one against the loca tion of the branch asylum in East ern Oregon. It is a wonder that Vlhey don't commence action against tho state agricultural college and the normal schools that are located at other towns and try and compel their removal to Salem. A little more of this hoggishness on the part of the citizens of that town and tho people of the state will ratee in their might and relocate the capital at some town ho?e 1-eoplo. ore possessed of a little more tai-vncps. Owing to the fact that printers are human and differ very little from ordinary people who Appre ciate the holidajs between Christ mas and New Years, there will be no Press issued next week. It is the custom in the eastern states for newspapers to thus observe the holidays, provided no legal notices are running. The next issue of the Press will be on Jan. C, 1894. Thanking all for their liberal pat ronage, we wish you a Merry Christmaa and a Happy New Year. "This paper dislikes to do so much writing as the editor is compelled to do some weeks on account of the fact that its exchanges have so much rot that it is hard to make selections suitable to these columns and be of the character to educate and encourage the people to follow along lines of advancement." Washington Independent. The sentiment meant to be con veyed in the above might be swal lowed by people who do not read newspapers, but from the scarcity of advertisements in the Independ ent and the fact that the paper is published in Portland by Palmer. & Rey, we infer that most of the people' of Pomeroy read newspapers. G. A..R. Election. Saturday, Doc. 16, Gettysburg Post, No. 33 G. A. R. held its an nual election of officers, which re sulted as follows: Com., J. A. Gross; Sen. Vice Com., J. II. Ross; Jun. Vice Com., Noah Anspaugh; Quar. Master, A. F. Pennick;. Sur geon, J. II. King; Chaplain, G. W. Rigby; Officer of Day, W. C. Kern; Officer of Guard, J. B Mumford; Delegate to Department Encamp ment, J. H. Ross; Alternate, J. B. Mumford. The Post decided to have. a pub lie installation of officers and bas ket dinner jointly with Gettysburg Woman's relief corps No. 28, on the third Saturday in January, and appointed J. II. King, W. C. Kern and Clark Walter a committee on arrangement. A program consist ing of vocal and instrumental mu sic with recitations, will be ar ranged. Conditional Pardon. . In some states of the Union the executive has authdrity to grant conditional pardons, and if the pardoned one violates the condi tions of clemency he can be arrest ed and by summary process re turned to prison to serve out all the original sentence. There was a novel illustration of the condi tional pardon and the enforcement of the conditions on which it was issued in New York a short time since, under the decision or the supreme court a man has been sent to the state's prison for a term of nearly ten years for drink ing a glass of liquor. A man named Lysight, of Koch- ester, was convicted of crime and sentenced to the state's prison at hard labor for a term of thirteen years. He was confined in the Auburn penitentiary. After serv ing out nearly four years Gov ernor Flower pardoned him out last January under certain condi tions.1 One of these prohibited Lysight from . using intoxicating liquors under penalty of forfeiting his freedom, together with the regular communications for good behavior. For a violation of this condition he was arrested last Jul v. An application was made to the supreme court for his re lease on the grounds that the con dition was unreasonable, inasmuch as it interfered with the mans legal rights. Justice Rumsey, of the supreme court, however, decid ed that it was a reasonable condi tion, as the man had been under the influence of liquor at the time he committed the crime for which he received the sentence of thirteen vears imprisonment. There appears to be no help in this case, although it appears to be n. verv hard one. len vears in the penitentiary for a single drink, the otlenso being stated that way, is certainly a cruel penalty, al though it may be in the interest of life and property, I hero seems to be no doubt the decision will stand as the constitution of New York gives the governor power to grant conditional pardons, and the court oi nppoais nas ueciueu mai in case 1 1 1 1 1. A of broach of a conditional pardon tho recipient may be remanded ami the'original sentence executed. Tho case in some of its respects is extraordinary, if not unprecedent ed.

In the meanwhile cut thin, or shave, as many slices of bacon as you havo oysters. Fold the bacon around each oyster, and fasten with an ordinary wooden pin, such as are made for toot h picks.

And a spray of cypress twining With the holly wreath tonight. And the hUKh Is never broken By laughter tight and low. As we listen In the starlight To the "bells acroM the snow." O Christmas, merry Christmas! T Is not so rery long HInce other voices blended With the carol and the song ! If we could but hear them singing As they are singing now. If we could but see the radiance - Of the crown on each dear brow. There would be no sigh to smother, No hidden tear to flow. - As we listen In the starlight To the "bells across the snow." O Christmas, merry Christmas t This uerer more can be. We cannot bring again the days Of our unshadowed glee. But Christmas, happy Christmas, Hweet herald of good-will. With holy songs of glory Brings holy gladness still. For peace and hope may brighten, And patient love may glow, As we listen In the starlight To the "bells across the snow." ADAMS NOTES. Rev. Leonard is holding meetings this week". , Rev. M. M. Miner spoke to a crowded house Sunday evening." The town seems to be very quiet this week.

The following resolutions were passed at the mass meeting of the citizens of Post Falls, censuring the Carlin party tor abandoning George Colgate, the cook of the party: Resolve That we extend to the family of George T. Colgate in there terrible bereavement, the heartfelt sympathy of this com munity. That we hold Wm E. Carlin and A. L. A- Himmelwright responsible for the management of the Carlin party. That we express our thanks to Wm E. Carlin and A. L. A. Him melwright for the care and patience shown toward George Colgate ac cording to their published account up to the hour when he was left behind. - That we deplore the long delay on the river bank which the long construction of rafts does not ex plain whersbyj time and food were wasted that should have been used, for the sake of the sick com panion, in prompt and careful re treat. That we condemn the abandon ment of George Colgate while con fessedly within a few hours of his death, and leaving him on his feet staggering in the snow without shelter, without fire, and without the presence of a loyal comrade to close his eyes and note the loca tion of his body, as an act of hide ous barbary. That the light of there own pub lished statements, and uch other information as can be obtained, we denounce Wm E. Carlin and A. L. A. Himmelwright as unfit to associate with sportsmen, wanting the element of manhood, and their treatment of George Colgate's wid ow, wholly vom f the considerate spirit and generosity of gentlemen Pneumonia prevails to a, large extent on the Umatilla Indian res ervation, and is proving quite a serious malady, the Indians being peculiarly susceptible to lung dis eases.
