Thomas w Bennett, of Indiana, has been ap-
pointed This lets Reynolds out again. He
has been very persistent in his efforts to become
Chief Executive of Idaho, but his great SER
vices 10 his party aud pre-eminent abilities and
qualifications for the position in his own esti-
mate, have. as yet, failed of recognition at the
hands of the Administration. We don't know
anything about the new appointer, but hope he

SENSIBLE CoURsE-The Radical members
of the Council in the Washington Territory
Legislature were somewhat disguised at the
course pursued by the Democratic members
in the organization of that body. The Walla
Walla Statesman of late date says that the
Democrats being in minority, and anxious to
secure an honest and sensible man for pre-
siding officer, made no nomination. The Rad
ical caucus had agreed on man named Joslyn
for President of the Council, who, the States
man says, was scarcely fit to preside over
hog RANCH" and the consequence was that one
or two decent Radical members refused TO
support him, whereupon the Democratic men,
bers united with the decent Radicals and
elected one Dr. Smith, boiling Radical, and
who is said to be q gentleman in every way
qualified for the position. The straight out
RAIDS were of course greatly incepsed at their
caucus candidate being defeated, but the Dem
ocrats showed their good sense in adopting the
course they did As Democrat could not GET
the position they accepted the situation and OF
two evils chose the least by electing an honest
man, though he was a Radical

CHINAMEN HUNG IN Los ANGELEs.-A
terrible riot took place in Los Angeles CAL
on the evening of Oct. oath, originating In q
peace officer attempting to arrest Chinaman
for shooting another, when be was resisted by
the Cinnamon, and on calling another man to
his assistance, the Chiuapen commenced firing
npon them from both sides OF the street
Robert Thompson, who was assisting the otfi
Ger, Bilderbain, to make the arrest, was shot
through the breast and mortally wounded, dy'
ing a short time after, and Bilderbain was
shot through the shoulder. The news spread
like wildfre, and several hundred citizens
armed themselves and, surrounding the Chi
nese quarter, opened fire, killing several, when
the Cinnamon barricaded themselves in their
houses. Several Cinnamon were captured by
the mob and hung without ceremony. Up to
ten o'clock p. NJ. of that date, fifteen China,
men were hung by the mob. besides several
others who were shot, and at that time the
trouble subsidized and the officers succeeded in
preventing further violence.

THE SOCIAL EvIL.-The National Police
convention. which was recently in session in
St. Louis, adopted a resolution, declaring that
the treatment of the social evil by the legal
authorities in st. Louis has worked benefi-
cially, and they recommend its general adoption
by other cities as a mode which has proved
salutary in its effects upon society, and has
tended to ameliorate the condition of the un-
fortunate class without working any prejudice
to the morals of the community. The adop-
ton of the same system is under consideration
and now before the Board of Supervisors in
San Francisco, but the women sufragists bit
terly oppose its adoption in that city, and in
sist, if it should be adopted, that men who FIRE
yquent houses of ill-fame should also be required
to register the same as the women who keep
such houses or follow that business. Should
such an amendment be adopted, it would rem
der the system imperative and of little value.

WALLA WALLA RAILRoAD.-The question
of granting subsidy to company to build a
railroad from Walla Walla to Wallula having
been defeated BY small majority at the special
election at which it Yas submitted to the peo-
pie, the Statesman says that new proposition
is now being agitated which gives promise of
being successful. 1t is that the sum Of $4,000
be raised by subscription as bonus, and the
local company agrees if that amount is raised
to build the road. If they can get the road
constructed by contributing that amount the
people of Walla Walla will be blind to their
own interests if they don't make it up in a
very short time. The sum is insignificant as
compared to the benefits they will derive from
the early completion of the road, and the city
of Walla Walla alone is we'll able to furnish
the full amount. Give Boise City such chance
and q hundred thousand dollars would be
raised without grumble.
