The Semi Weekly Idahoan Resumes
PubIira alton.

Having resumed publication Of the
dahoan, 1t is due our friends ANA pa
irons that we should forezhalow It's
course in the future. Thnse who have
known us for the last fifteen years
need no assurance of our devotion to
the principles of Democracy. Graded
in the lap of Liberty as western men
enjoy it, and nurtured in the doctrines
of the Declaration of independence,
which teaches that in our government
every man is created sovereign; and
believing that naturally we are just as
good as Gen. Grant or any other man.
we feel that We could not be t,uc to
nature, birth and culture, without be-
ing an Independent democrat. Never
having been candidate for Office nor
q member Of any clique or ring, form
ed for the purpose of political prefer
ment, and truly believing that the
voice of the people should have free
and untrammeled expression in lie
gitimate way, we think that in again
assuming editorial control of the iia-
hoan We are the right man III the right
place. The people Of Idaho may ex-
pect, therefore, that this paper viii be
outspoken and fearless in defence Of
the right, devoted to the prosperity
aud advancement Of all the material
interests, and ever alive to the Incl
dents and news of the day. Under
no obligations to any one of our friends
more than another, we shall have no
political favorites 70 uphold; and fear
ing none of our enemies, we have M
spleen to crafty in making war upon
any. We are going to publish news
paper for the people and a democratic
paper for the Democracy.
The period of another political cam
paign in Idaho is rapidly approaching,
and OF course there will be more or
less wire pulling, caucusing and com
bining to run the party III the interest
Of individuals, and rings viii be form
ed for that purpose. As il has been
so will it be in the future. Being one
of the oldest citizens, and almost liv
ING, you might say, in the green room
of the politics Of the Territory, We
posse ised facilities inthe past for know
ing something Of these cliquas ans
compacts; and we propose during tbs
coming campaign to make it tolerabl,
warm for the members of, and parties
to, the same The fight has TO come
sooner or later; the preservation Of tn
Democratic party of Idaho imperative
ly demands it; and the people wht
have been so long deceived may just al
well enjoy II now.
As the course Of the Iahosa fol
some fifteen months under our man
agement was 50 emphatically endorsed
by the people, as well as by the terri
torial democratic central committee
we feel confident that we shall agar
receive their commentator and sup
port; and il we do not furnish then
with the hveliest little newspaper il

Against Divorce.


1t is announced FROM Rome that
Pope Leo XII has promulgated AN
encyclical against divorce. The reaf
firnation of the we'll known position
held BY the Roman Catholic Church
on this question at this time is ex-
planned, no doubt, nview Of The efforts
now put forth in France to pass law
sanctioning and authorizing divorce in
that country on prescribed conditions
Tho Catholic church forbds divorce.
and for some sixty years the laws Of
France have been in conformity with
the views Of that church on this ques-
tion. But under the republic liberal
views have been gaining ground, and
among other fruits of such progress
may be noted growing seatimsnt
against the iron.bound marriage sys-
tenn which forbids divorce for any
cause The Catholic church will not
recognize marriage as a civil contract,
but regards it as sacrament, and
therefore refuses to sanction any act Of
a State annulling the marriage bond
declaring that only the death Of one Of
the parties can free husband or
wifs from marriage obligations and
place the one or the other in position
to contract another marriage. Such
divorces as have been sanctioned hy
the Catholic church have been on the
ground that those marriages were void
from the beginning. That was the
case with the divorce of Napoleon /.
and his wife Josephine, the ingenuity
of some one having discovered some
technical formality prescribed by the
council Of Trent had been violated in
tho original ceremony. The Buffalo
Courier cites, as another instance, the
more recent annulmentof the marriage
Of the Prince of Monaco.
The encyclical of the Pope ii aimed
also a. civil marriages which, as we
have said, are not reeosnizcl by the
church.

Jack is Dead.

About nine years ago, j. j. Chenery & Co..
on Congress street, bought of Col. Jas Osgood,
terrier pup, which grew to be dog of more
than ordinary intelligence, even in one of that
breed. Jack was never known like his name-
sake, Texas Jack,) to have killed many Indi-
ans, but his natural enemies-rats-he has
slain by thousands So great was his love of
hunting them that he would follow a long dis
lance any stranger who said "rats' to him, and
he was SO well known in his neighborhood that
he could easily find a home when he was left
out "late o'clocks, but Jack was never known
to visit place the second time where they did
not live well, for he was a high liver and
good judge OF hearty victuals; and to one par
ticular house on Spring street he went regu-
larry every Sunday $50 regularly that the fami-
ly declare that he knew when the day came
round) for his Sunday dinner. And for these
favors he would cause the rats to .sgit.' He
could quickly distinguish the fire alarm from
the other bells, and often notified his master
and others of a fire by his excited barking be-
fore they knew of it themselves. Jack was
never known to fight dog that was his infe-
rior in size, but the larger the better. And al
though he was frequently and severely pun
ished for his fighting habits, he could never be
broken OF them, and if he was the "under dog
in the fight" he never was thoroughly con-
quered, but at the next opportunity he would
up and at them again. During one of his
walks about town he captured and brought
home pet rabbit, for which NEW departure,
he was chastised, and was never known to
touch rabbit or cat afterwards. But he,
himself, has come to grief at last, for few
days ago, during some of his rambles, it is
thought he received blow on his head, which
caused his sickness, and dose of chloroform
has quietly ended his days.

THE MOON.
DR.. Hills Lecture in the Mechanics
Course.

The second lecture in the NC. NJ. Associ-
aticn free course was given by Rev. Thomas
Hill, D. D., in the library room of Mechan-
ics' building last evening. In introducing his
subject, ''The Moon,' DIR. Hill said:
The moon has been the great teacher of as
tronomy in all ages. The savage who pays no
attention to the stars and the planets, notices
the waxing and the waning moon. The sun
escapes observation by his very brilliancy. The
eye can not endure his brightness except at
rare and uncertain intervals when the air is
sufficiently hazy. His changes also are slow
er, occupying more than twelve and one-half
times as long time as those of the MOON
Moreover they are to the untaught eye simply
confined to his rising higher and lower
IN the sky. But the moon goes through
very marvellous changes in form in a very
few weeks and the variation of altitude are
also much greater than those of the sun.
She was thus fitted to be the first heavenly
body to attract mans attention, to excite
his curiosity, and lead him to speculate upon
the cosmical motion.
The speaker, by means of charts and dia-
grams, then explained the various motions
and changes of the moon, and the many theo-
ries that have been advanced in regard to
those changes, their cause, manner and effect
and closed as follows:
A finite mind can never know whether any
thing is really at rest in space nor with what ve
locity and in what orbit it may be absolutely
moving in space. Wehave no faculties by which
we can conceive the possibility of attaining
such knowledge. A thorough investigation OF
any kind of scientific question leads us to con-
fess the entire dependence of man upon that
which is altogether beyond the reach Of his
feeble knowledge. The intellect is the lowest
of the spiritual faculties; self-conscious will
and loving heart stand immeasurably higher.
We trust, we believe, and believe with an in
tensity and force of conviction which knowl-
edge itself cannot exceed, that the very mo-
lions Of the universe are guided by a Being of
unlimited power, unerring wisdom and mex
haustible love.
The hall was crowded during the lecture,
many having to stand, not being able to OBJ
tain seats. The next lecture in the course will
be delivered by Hon. Israel Washburn, Jr.,
Wednesday evening, Jan. s. The subject will
ha
