INVESTIGATING THEM.-The California
legislature is engaged in the investigation of
the bribery charges against Governor Booth,
and the disclosures so far made, give strong
colorlng of truth to the charges. The investi-
cations should be pushed to the uttermost
bounds, aud if Mr.. Booth is guilty he should be
punished 1t is high time the practice fpur.
chasing Offices were made Improbable, and the
only way to do this, is by teaching bribers they
will not be permitted to hold Offices to which
they have no claim except the right ofpurchase.

Corn YIELD.-Thc monthly report Of the
Department of Agriculture for January 1874,
furnishes statistics about the corn yield Of the
United States, which will be not n little sur.
prisng to Western men, and such as have been
accustomed to regard the Wabash, Illinois
Missouri and Desmoines bottoms as the great
est corn producing sections of the globe. The
report shows that the production of that cereal
has declined IN all of the States except Massa.
chusetts, Florida, West Virginia, Oregon and
California: the greatest decline being in the
heart of the corn growing States. The lowest
average yield in any Western State, was in H.
lnos, which shows only2l bushels to the acre.
South Carolina shows the smallest yield. 9j
bushels California produced more than any
other State in the Union, her fields having av.
craged ~ bushels to the acre The average
quality of the corn raised last year is inferior
but of course the price has advanced rs the
production diminished. New Jersey sold her
corn crop at 62 cents bushel; Illinois at from
"a to 32 cents: Iowa got from Is to 81 for
hers, while Nebraska had to content herself
with from Is TO % cents bushel. We never
before thought there could possibly be poorer
place on the globe than Iowa, but it seems
from the foregoing that Nebraska is entitled tt
take lower rank than even Iowa. Iowa people
should not despair, however, at having been
outdone once Something may yet happen tt
recrown their favorite State "Queen of Men
dicants" We firmly believe she is entitled tt
that distinction.

IDAHO CITY. THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 26, 1874

DECLARED WAR.-The ladies all over Ohio
are said to be waging relentless warfare on
king alcohol and his servitOrs. In some places
they hold daily prayer-meetings in the saloons,
and ON other evenings visits are made to places
where whisky is sold, and these visits are pro-
longed from six to ten o'clock in the evening.
The result in both cases, we are informed, is to
empty the saloons through the back doors as
the ladies enter at the front doors. The same
plan is being adopted in the Eastern States,
and with like good results That the plan will
lessen drunkenness if fpersevered in, will scarce
ly be doubted; for no man, no matter how we'll

town, California, at the solicitation Of lady
friend Of ours, to prevail upon her drunken
husband to leave his associates and 90 home.
The hour was about midnight The bowl had
been passing freely all day-it being election
day. We entered the saloon and taking our
friend aside, said to him: lit is very late, and
you are getting pretty drunk. Wouldn't it be
better to 60 home now and sober up for TO-
morrow!" Instantly the inbecile was trans
formed into tragedian; drawing himself up
to his full height and looking US straight in the
face, he replied, in voice clear and ringing as
if it had never been mudded by drink: "
