WE are indebted to Hon. Albert S.
Willis for copy of his scathing re-
marks in Congress on John ID. White.
The subject, we admit, was hardly
worthy of the time and breath, but il
places White before the country in the
proper light, and lets those who i'm.
agine him a great statesman see what
manner of man he is. We hardly
suppose there will be fight over the
matter, for Mr.. Willis is much
younger man than Speaker Bigger,
and would soon get away with the
ADVANTAGEOUS son of a raccoon. We
believe Mr.. White has never fought
anybody but the old gentleman re-
ferred to, and as a ten-year-old boy
could have handled him, he made no
reputation as a brave man in that en-
counter.

THE New York Sun gives the zig.

Congress for the last ten fiscal years,
which run from s114, 009, 4S3 in 1873,
when the House was democratic, to
s177, 1856, 214 in 1882. The average
is 1858, 1886, 053, while the appropria.

ed for him to remain at home, and if
your Senator voted for it, see to it
that he gets no other chance to pillage
the public Treasury. The Sun is
strongly of the impression that the
people will be as much disgusted at
this fragrant robbery and jobbery as
they were with the excuses of Grant
ism, which in 1874 made them rise up
and rebuke the corruption of Grants
first term by BUSTING republican ma
jority of 100 and giving the democrats
a majority of 20. The prospects are
that another tidal wave will strike the
country this Fall, when the ringsters
and tricksters of the republican party
will be forced to that retirement from
which they ought never to return.

Idaho Jnrisprndence.

Justice O'Sniffin, up at Blackfoot,
tried his first case recently. He. has
some crude notions about even-handed
justice, and claims to be- thoroughly up
on parliamentary etiquette.
The case was one in which Don Quix-
ote Centipede was charged with the
larceny of one sorrel mule, the proper
ty of Claude Melnotte Rooney, valued
at $50, at the county and Territory
aforesaid, and on the 10th day of Octo-
Der, A. D. 1882, and that on said day
he, the said Don Quixote Centipede, did
take, steal and ride away and drive
away the mule aforesaid, contrary to
the statutes in such case made and pro-
vided and against the peace and dignity
OF the Territory of Idaho.
The case was tried, and defendant
having been found guilty, the Justice
about to sentence him to the peniten-
tiary for life when the counsel called the
attention of the court to the fact that,
as an examining magistrate, he only
had authority to bind Mr.. Centipede
over for his appearance at the next term
of the District Court. Judge O'Sniffin
therefore modified his Judgment to the
requirement of bond for $500 for de-
PENDANTS appearance as aforesaid. De-
PENDANTS counsel then rose and stated
that. owing to certain irregularities and
peculiarities developed in the case, he
would now make motion for a new
trial.
Gentlemen" said Judge O'Sniffin to
the bystanders, '.you have a motion, do
hear a second?H
An eccentric horse-thief on the back
seat seconded the motion.
''Gentlemen," resumed his Honor,
::'you have heard the motion. Are you
ready for the question?''
''Question?'

onded that the defendent Centipede be
given new trial All those in favor
will say AYE"

I said didn't care if it was million or
more miles longer and had just come
out of curl papers and had insects in it.
She said that Prof. Barnard had no
ticed a split in it's head and that it was
1000 miles across the split, and I said
if the head was as long as reported
$4,000 miles-the tired thing was Just

as soon as it had yawned enough. Final

A comparison of wages paid in the
manufacturing industries of the United
States ten years ago and now, according
to the census returns, shows that the poor
wage-victims of the protected manufact-
urers have had their wages decreased
$31 56 each, or more than eight per cent
in the ten years. In 1870 they averaged a
little over dollar day; now they aver
age less than ninety-fve ceuts. Thus it
is that American labor has been protect
ed by protection.
