Bloomf,eld nemocrat

1t is evident that Crosby of the Gen.
terville Citizen, is disguised at the
political course of our distinguished
townsman, Gen. Weaver. Listen to
this: b,
"The Journal does not appear TO feel
as friendly disposed toward Gen.
Weaver since his speech as before,
and rather seems to desire to damn
him with faint praise and thinks the
General did not do the fair thing
with the democracy in failing to give
them proper credit on points wherein
the Journal thought they were cnti-
tied. When our neighbor shall have
learned the disposition Of this g. b..
Moses better, he will know thathe is
not in the habit of giving anybody
credit; that he goes in on the theory
of never forgetting to charge, but al.
ways forgetting to credit; to borrow
all he can but never lend, that he
cares for nobody but himself, and
that he will give the Democrats or
any one else no credit unless he has
an axe to grind and expects to reap
q personal advantage therefrom that,
in short, he is a demagogue of the
first water, whose only end and aim
is to get Weaver into Congress"

IDAHO Cry, Boise CO., Idaho, !


March %, 1878.
ED. COURIER few lines from
one In this remote region might per-
haps, interest some Of the many read
ers of your interesting paper.
Idaho City, the metropolis Of Boise
Basin, has q population of some 500
inhabitants, one fourth Of whom arc
Chinese. She is supported by her
rich auriferous mines which daily
yield up their hidden treasures in
fabulous sums during the mining
season, which is generally from two
to four months in the year, owing to
the amount of snow that falls in the
mountains during the winter months.
The agricultural resources of Boise
county is not SO great, perhaps, as
some of the adjoining counties, vet
she is endowed with some pleasant
and beautiful homes, where her soil
is subject to irrigation, that grows az
good grain and as nice vegetables as
any country ever saw, Iowa not ex-
cepted.
The society of our mining towns
has greatly improved in point OF, NOR
atty and dare say cannot be beaten
by any of your old christian like
states, which speaks well for our once
wild and disreputable Territory.

Our schools, churches and temper-
perance organizations are all in a
nigh state of prosperity. A more
Tree, noble, generous hearted set of
people never existed and for down
right enjoyment give me the society
of Q mining camp.
There is now but two questions
that are agitating our minds, viz: a
railroad and the right to elect our
territorial officers, both of which are
greatly needed to warrant us peace,
happiness and progression. / tell
You sir, 1t is . very unpleasant affair
to live on American soil and be dis
franchised; have your country used
az q hospital for brokendown politi-
clans, who are sent among us from
year to year who care for nothing
except the almighty dollar. Ii this
justice, or is it not? There is not an
ex-official, to my knowledge, now liv-
ing within the bounds of our Terri
tory, which is sufficient evidence of
their interest and integrity. 1t is
through them that our criminals have
escaped justice; that our prison doors
have been thrown open and conyicts
come forth from their cells with re-
prieves in their hands, all for the val
ue of dollars and cents.
Things still look very Haysey, but
in the name of God and our country
how much longer is this to be endur-
ed. Not feeling disposed to annoy
any one too much with our grievan-
ces, l will introduce another subject.
Spring has opened with flattering
prospects. and the miners all feel
jnbilent. Nightly fires are seen all

prOvement that is sadly needed and
that is in the quality of paper, by the

Badly Scared

The Keokuk Constitution says:
Wouldn't it be to the interest of the
G. B. & @. to look after the X & D.
M. r. r.? If that road is to be
bought or leased, we prefer, rather,
that 1t should fall into that corpora
tons hands. There is enough in-
volved to make the matter worth the
attention of the C. B. u @. officials.
As far as we can see, at present, the
worst possible thing that could hap
pen to Keokuk, would be to have the
x. & d. M. pass into the hands of the
Rock Island. They could, and I'm
doubtedly would, sweep away the
general Offices, and let a general agent
do the work here. Repairs of al
kinds could be made at Eldon, and
away would 60 the machine shops,
and all we would have left of the X.

we would not even have the name
