Peter Cooper has suggested 3 plan for an ele-
vated railway. He would cover the present
horse-railway tracks with an iron roof supported
by iron columns. These columns would. how
ever, bo o very great obstacle to street traffic.
The plan suggested by Mr.. Eastman, IN yester-
days Issue OF this paper, Of building the rail-
ways over the alleys seems much better. Mr.
Cooper's proposed motive power is an endless
wire rope, ceiling about drums Of 100 feet diam
eter at each end OF the line. The drums
will be turned, Of course, by steam. There
will be an almost endless line Of cars moving IN
both directions. They will be Light and narrow.
The rope will be fastened to the back, side, and
centre OF each. Stops will be made every five
blocks. Tho druu1-wheels twill be made to take
up all the power required to stop the train OF
cars aud give it out instantly to aid the engines
at each end in starting the chain Of CARS" By
this means it is estimated that one-hah
the propelling power otherwise necessary
will be saved Platform cars can carry
freight through the city, and might
thus spare uB the annoyance OF having
long freight-t1ains switched through and acroas
the public streets. Dir. Cooper claims that his
plan makes travelling safe and cheap. He esti-
mates the cost at one-half that Of other proposed
plans. Relatives Of tho gentlomen who were
killed by the fall Of the Greenwich street ele-
yated railway in New York may, perhaps doubt
the perfect safety Of any such plan. 1t would
certainly, however, be we'll to secure rapid tran
ait without running noisy locomotives through
our thoroughfares.

Tha intelligent juror has been discovered in
Atlantic, Ia. There we1o nine obstinate ones
and threo shrewd fellows, who inally prevailed.
The case before them was g suit for breach OF
promise which had been tried once before, when
tho jury disagreed. The suit WAS brought by
Miss Bell against Mr.. Helmer, damages being
laid at $4,000. -Four days we're consumed in
the trial, at the termination Of which time tho
twelve good men and true we're intrusted with
tho duty Of decidingir The obstinate nine we're
in favor OF verdict for the defend"
ant The crafty three wore not. It
Was argued, with great effect, by
the minority that the plaintiff had no money,
and, in case Of d verdict against her. would be
unable to pay the costs of the suit, which would
thus be thrown upon the county. The nine
wise men saw the sound sense Of the argument,
and found verdict Of 81 foz the plaintiff, thus
throwing the costs On the defendant This WAS
tempering Justice with economy, somewhat after
the manner in which Wouter Van Twiller Is re-
lated to have assessed the costs Of the case on
the witness, being unable to determine in his
own mind whether the plaintif or the defendant
was entitled to Judgment.

not be wholly unintcrcsting to your
readers, Iproceed:
The Idaho Statesman, Of today con-
tains an article on what the BOBBY of
the Statenman dcnominates "rhc PEG
pies Candidate" for Congress. Nifty
saws: "Whcn we speak of Governor
Bennett as the Peoples candidate for
Delegate to Congress, we believe we cx-
press the sentiments of nine-tcnths of
the people Of the Territory" Now.
such faith as the editor of the SAFES
man manifcsts in the above quotation
is certainly marvellous. II equals, at
least, that spoken of old, that could
move mountains. Yes, it even equals
the faith with which once-npon-a-timc
Judgc(?) engaged in the "Poorman."
But let me inquire ho,c this little
"Stonc jug Chief came to be candi'
date for Congress and what foundation
there is for the belief of Nifty
when he Expresses the sentiments Of
nine-tcnths of the people of the Terri
tory"
lthas been something over two years
since Bennett came from Indiana with
Governors commission in his pocket
since then every speech and ev-
cry address, that he has made has
been with an eye singly fixed upon
the position of Delegate to Con.
grcss.
He came to Idaho as political adj.
vcnturcr, and as political adventnrcr
he desires to go to Congress. As
partisan, he belongs to that class Of the
Republican party SO ably represented
by such men as Kelly and Moses. He
is an honest and highly influential mem
Der Of the carpetbag brigade. The
only use of Territory is to furnish
such as Tom Bennett an office. 1t is
easy to sec the foundation of the faith
of the Salesman where one is acquaint.
cd with the facts.
Milty's son-in-law, you know, is Ter.
ritorial Controller. Mr.. Pcrrault holds
his Office at the will of Bennett. Hence,
it is family necessity that Bennett be
supported--and supported, too, at the
expense of truth and dcccncy- two
jewels, the value of which Kelly has
no knowledge. But NIFTY has another
AK to grind; he wants to be Chief Jus.
