ABOUT NATIONAL DEBTS.

France enjoys the unenviable distinc-
ton of having the largest national debt
in the world, namely. e930, 600, 900 ga
$50, ,000, ,000). Before the Franco-G Ger
man war England stood at the head OF
the list, her debt being G775, 900, 600.
Germany's debt amounts to the trihing
sum of Gag, ,OOO,O Russia has $780,
600, 900. q part Of which, like the whole
Of that Of Germany, represents expend-

guarantees in that connection given by
the Government Austro- Hungary has
debt Of s362, 600. 900, and Italy Of
E356, 100000.
The amount of Turkeys debt can
hardly be guessed. Dividing up these
debts among the various populations of
these countries, the Indebtedness per
capita is IN France, f25; Great Britain,
G23 los; Russia, "a; Austria, 9lO;
Germany, 81. and Italy, fl3.

AMERICAN HORSE-SHOES IN. EN-
The poetical surroundings of the
village blacksmith and his harmonious
anvil, says Chambers Journal, are
threatened with powerful rival, by the
introduction from the United States of
new industry; namely, the manufacture
ef machine-made horse-shoes. A COM

opposite Greenwich has opened it's
works to supply tho United Kingdom
with these machine. made articles. The
iron is rolled from scrap, coming from
the rollers as grooved bar, which is
afterward cut into lengths, punched
with the necessary holes, and finally is
bent by the machine into the horse. shoe
shape. II is calculated that there are
in the United Kingdom about 5000, 900
horses; in Europe generally more than
10000, 900; requiring annually 1,5OO,-
600 tons Of shoes. So that, II the new
company turns out good work, there are
plenty of customers for its goods. 1t is

much reduced that the boy was able to use

SUIT FOR MIsDEMEANoR.

Upon complaint Of a person who imagined
himself aqgrieved. Messrs. Lathrop and
Lambert, of Waha prairie were arrested and
brought to Lewiston before Justice Hudson
for hearing, large number OF witnesses
were also brought into court. The alleged
offense was the obstructing of public road
about March 1880. The complaint was
made out and sworn to by the complaining
witness, who claims to be . lawyer. The
case was conducted on the part of the pros.
scution by the District Attorney, and de-
Tended by l. N. Maxwell, Esq. The coun.
eel for the defense at the opening moved the
dismissal of the defendants on the ground
that no cause of action existed, that if there
ever was cause as alleged in the complaint
it had ceased to exist by the Statute of Tim.
itations which demands that all misdemean-
ors must be prosecuted within one year from
the time of their commission. The court
sustained the motion to dismiss and ordered
the discharge Of the accused; counsel for the
defense then moved that the complaining
witness be adjudged to pay the costs Of the
proceeding. This last motion was denied
aud the county will have to pay these costs.
1t is very unfortunate for the people Of the
county. that every person who conceives
himself aggrieved, without probable cause,
or with no cause at all, can be permitted to
cause the arrest Of party and have him
brought up, with his witnesses before the
courts and examined and then the county
be mulcted out Of the costs Of the suit, while
the careless or malicious complainant is al
lowed to go free without penalty for hi
carelessness or malice that has led to the ar
rest.

Building Material.

To those who may contemplate the early
construction of fire proof buildings, we
would suggest that they consider the ques-
ton Of gravel and cement for the walls Con-
crete walls have been erected in other places
and have proved impervious not only to the
weather but also to intense heat, and it is
thought that the character Of the gravel
found in the hill south of Main street ia adj
mirably adopted to concrete building. Men
should be consulted who know the nature
of the materials used in good concrete build.
ings, and if the proper material is mostly
with us, it would appear that such buildings
could be constructed. at far less expense than
either brick or stone, and be equally if not
more serviceable and durable. The space
produced by the removal of this gravel could
be utilized to great advantage in the increase
OF the building lots south of Main street.
while the useless debris that is associated
with this gravel could be converted to good
account in filling up low places in the city
1t seems to us the experiment is really wor.
thy of trial.

WASHINGTON, ID. G. Jan. 20. -
Brents, delegate from Washington, has
just put in bill and got it referred to
a sub committee for the admission in-
to the uni n Of the state of Washing
ton, to be composed of Washington
territory and three counties of north
ern Idaho. Ainslie, delegate from
Idaho, is fighting the bill because it
takes in part of his territory, and he
is backed by other territorial represen-
ta.ives, who do not like the precedent
this bill would establish. They fear
that should this bill pass other terri
tories wanting to become states might
endeavor to capture portion Of ad
joining territories in order to increase
their population. Hence determined
fight will be made against Brents' bill,
which has been referred to subcommit-
tee, consisting Of Aldrich, Van Voor-
hees and Richardson-two republicans
and one democrat. The republicans
are DESTROYS of getting part of Dakota
admitted as state, and therefore it is
not likely they will embarrasss that
movement by taking up the application
Of Washington to become . state,

Cannon's Naturalization Doubted.

New York, Jan 23.-The Iribune's
Washington correspondent says: The
records and testimony in the contested
election case of Cannon against Camp
bell, Of Utah, has been printed, and
Chairman Calkins, of the election conf
mittee, says the committee will begin
consideration of the case next Tuesday.
One Of the points involved is Canuon's
citizenship. According to the evidence
of Cannon's brother, they both came to
the United States from England in
1912, when the contestant was five
years old. Five years later he emf
grated to Utah, and two years later,
when he vas % years old, to Califor-
MIA. In 1850, according to the tes,i-
mony of William Farrar, a brother
Mormon. Cannon was sent by the
church as missionary to the Sandwich
Islands, where he remained till July,
1854, during which period he trans.
lated the took of Mormon into the
Hawaiian language Cannon claims
that on Dec. 5, 1854, he became duly
naturalized as q citizen of the United
States, and he produces a certificate
showing that he was SO naturalized
but the journal.of proceedings of the
court fails to show the fact of such nat
uralization, as the laws Of Utah require
1t is, therefore, commended not only
that Cannon's certificate of naturaliza
ton is null and void, because issued in
contravention Of law; but that he wal
not entitled 10 1854 to the certificate
because he had not continuously resid
ed in the United States during the fv'
years next preceding the date of it
issue.

FIRE on CANVAS PRAIRIE.-Green Dallas
arrived from Camas Prairie yesterday. He
reports that on Tuesday morning the family
of Seth Jones built fire in their kitchen
stove, from which their dwelling house soon
took fire and burned with such velocity that
the family barely had time to escape in per-
son. The entire dwelling was consumed
with all its contents. Mr. Dallas was the
first to discover the house on fire, but was
too late to do anything to save the premises
from the rapid flames. Mr.. Jones is one of
the oldest settlers on Camas Prairie and
financially was we'll provided. Mr.. Dallas
did not give the probable loss in dollars.
But we should suppose it could not be less
than 81 600.

TIE theory that anybody can max c

rous. And as elsewhere, we have a
striking example right here in Lewis
ton. Three or four fortunes are often
swallowed up before the upstairs are
convinced that brains are required to
conduct journal. Most papers die Of
cholera infantunn, but some drag along
few years to perhaps childhood, and
suddenly climb the golden stair" in
the watermelon season. inexperienced
capitalists every year are entering the
lists, but to find that it is the most
succ essful way of sinking money and
keeping it sunk. Dc Wit Talmage,
says: Let me tell you, oh! men, that it
you have an idea or religious subject,
moral, social or political, you had bet
ter charge on the world through the
columns already established. Do not
take the idea so prevalent that when
. man can do nothing else he can edit
a newspaper. To propel newspaper
requires more realities than any other
business on earth. If you feel called
to start a newspaper, take it for granted
you have softening of the brain.

The Grcphie's Washington special says
the largest lobby here now is from Dakota,
and they are very sanguine for success in
the attempt to divide the territory and then
to have the southern portion admitted.
Brents' bill to make Washington territory a
state. adding to it the three northern coun'
ties Of Idaho, has complicated matters
somewhat and frightened democrats, who
fear wholesale manufacture of northwestern
states, which are certsin to be against the
Bourbons, especially if Mornons are dis
qualified from voting.
