IDAHO AT

Idaho does not intend to be unrepre.

though she is practically without railroad
communication. or other means Of sneedy
transportation, parties throughout the
Territory are exerting themselves to col
lect and forward specimens to Denver.
The Wood River Times says subsurip.
tions have been raised among Idahoans
at Salt Lake City and at several places
in the Territory to make the enterprise a
success. Governor Neil and several other
distinguished citizens are interesting
themselves to make a creditable exhibit,
and will visit the many magnificent mines
of Idaho with that end in view. The
Idahoans are in earnest in this matter,

if so, what?" Arab said: England has
no more right to interfere in Egypt than
any other nation, and she must be content
to accept such a position. Egypt will pay
her debt, but will allow no interior ence of
any kind. The European employees will
be retained in Servia as long as Egypt re-
quires them. The lives Of Europeans are

bitterly of Misrepresentation on the part

Egyptian army, We will resist them to the
utmost. If they come to help us, we will
receive them as brothers. Should Euro

WAR IN

The dispatches received last night
seem to point definitely to war upon
Ecypt by Great Britain. As far as these
two Powers are concerned the strife can
be but tame and unequal, except, per-
hans, in the outset when the Egyptians
may fight ferociously. They are hot
blooded and brave, and will plunge into
war inspired by the act of defending
their homes and native land against a
foreign foe. And their hate for the
English is of the heartiest sort. But it
will be a cruel war between a powerful
civilized nation and a weak, half-barbar-
Gus community. Unless other nations
intervene, the result OF the pending war
may be definitely anticipated. 1t will be
sure to end in the occupation OF Egypt
by the English and the utter subjugatiou,
possibly the determination, of that peo-
pie. But the Importance Of the war
question now agitating the world is not
involved to any great extent i'll regard
for the dwellers along the Nile. 1t is
only their occupancy OF territory that IS
valuable for strategic Importance to great
governments OF Europe that makes them
conspicuous in the affair. The English
Government is a large owner in the Suez
Canal. The canal also has grown to be-,
or to DE so regarded. as essential to the
life OF English commerce.. The French
also have large interests IN the canal, but
their interests, on account OF their not
being, to any large extent, a commercial
people. might not be seriously impaired
whether England retains the manage
ment Of the artificial highway between
the East and West or not. Russia would
like to extend her possessions and in
crease her resources by adding some OF
the precious peninsula ground to her ter
ritory. Moreover, nothing would be
more gratifying to Russia than to see
England crippled in her means of direc;
intercourse with her East India posses
sions. Could Russia acquire these she
would be ranked among the first nations
of the earth. She is now poor. She
envies Great Britain the ownership of the
East Indies. Then there is Germany

The Lecture on Divorce.

A fair audience met in renresentatives' hall
Wednesday evening to hear the lecture of Rev. S.
W. Dixie, secretary of the New England Divorce
Reform League, on divorce. Ex-Governor Proc
tor presided, and in a brief introduction alluded
to the fact that the movement on divorce be-
ginning quietly here In Vermont from the ques-
tioning, study and conviction Of one Of the
Vermont ministers, had become one Of the lead
ing auestions,-a fact which was acknowledged
In the social scientific and ecclesiastcal gather
ings Of the time, and had excited 10 much inter
est that 1t was acknowledged in literature, as
was shown by one Of the leading serials Mr.
Dixie, in opening spoke of Governor Proctor's
relation to the subject lie was the first to bring
the subject Of divorce reform before any leeisla-
ture. This he did in his first message to the
legislature Of Vermont In 1878. He then gave 1t
an impulse that has not vet ceased to be felt
Mr.. Dixie then went in medias res. He declared
there was a divorce question acknowledged
What was it? To this he called attention. To
help answer 1t he gave statistics showing that
divorce had doubled in New England in the last
eighteen years. Crimes against chastity had also
increased in Massachusetts in the same ratio.
In this time population had increased in Massa-
cbusetts about twenty-three per cent and the
higher crimes Of RIGHTEOUSNESS one hundred and
fifty-seven per cent, minor crimes Of all kinds
fourteen per cent, and minor crimes of lcentious-
ness eghty-four per cent. Here he affirmed that
the increase Of divorces and familiarity with the
thought OF relief from the marriage tie by
divorce are beyond dispute. The increase
Of divorces has speedily and regularly followed
