now hunted, according to,the eOnfes-
sion made in the Senate, 1t Is all q
deception, and a humbug. Senators
do not hesitate to humbug applicants,
and applicants in turn do not stop at
defying the viii OF ofcommunities where
differences are treated with contempt.
Such q system must entail aiioverwhelm-

FIRE-C CRACKERS A NUISANCE - | ne
practice of exploding iire-crackers
in the streets is one fraught with
danger and Is an intolerable nuis-
ance, without the least eompensat-
ing benefit, or even amusement, to
plead rs an excuse. The Legislature
OF Maine has prohibited by law
their importation into the State,
which we regard as wise provision,
Sacramento and San Francisco for
bid, by city Ordinances, their use
within certain lilnits, and We think
the first act Of the next Legislature
of Idaho should be the enactment OF
law TO prevent the bringing them
into this Territory.
While ii is not certain that any
c0nfiIgration has ever occurred in
Idaho by such means. it is neverihc-
less manifestly dangerous to be
burning them in or near wooden
buildings, and moreover particular
ly annoying. rs well as dangerous,
to explode them In the streets when
teams are passing, as nothing is more
likely to frighten horse and cause
him TO run away than the explosion
OF gun powder near him. No longer
ago than Thursday last Jim Gnss-
mans team ran away with him in
Jordan street by being frightened at
fire crackers, and was only saved
from being smashed up by good luck
in not becoming cntangled with 9th
or teams in its flight.
The Chinese make themselves par
iiculnrly obnoxious in the matter OF
bursting Gre-cackers, and the white
boys, and even men, sometimes re-
sort to such silly aud dangerous
practices under the idea that il is
| sport, when in fact it is prec sely
the contrary. an annoyance and O
dangerous nuisance.
The burning OF incense and coll
ored paper at the door as a religious
observance should be prohibited by
law, aud though it may be consider
ed an interference with the right to
worship God according 10 the die
tates Of the conscience Of the wor.
