THE DIVISION OF THE TERRITORY.

The late Republican Territorial Con-
vention at Boise City made an express
sion of the party relative to the pro-
posed division of Idaho, which was in
cluded in the following resolution:
"REsoLvED, That tho wishes OF the
people OF Northern Idaho in regard to
annexation to Washington Territory
should be faithfully and justly repre-
sented. 1t lisa question OF local iWpor-
lance with the people OF thnt sect1on,
and demands recognition and support
In proportion to the unanimity OF their
expression ON TINT subject"
A stranger to politics and politicians
In Idaho would be puzzled to know what
the foregoing resolution really means;
but it is plain enough to anyone ac-
quainted with the facts as they really
exist. The drawer evidently sllrank
from placing the bold proposition Of di-
VISION in its true shape before the pub
lie. vet in substance the resolution is an
authoritative declaration in favor Of di-
vision. Tint the people OF the North
ern counties desire to separate and go
they know not whittier, hns long been
evident. Perhaps some other counties
| would also prefer different associations.
When this Convention surrendcrs the
subject solely to the wishes OF the peo-
pie OF that one section, 1t ignores the
integrity OF the Territory and the wish
es OF the whole people OF the Territory;
1T is u question Of local Importance
with the people of that section" says
this platform. Is this true? Have not
the people of Alturas, Of Ada, of Owy-
hcc, and OF every county, some interest
in this question:
Idaho cannot expect to enter the I'M
ion MS State until it possesses tho re-
| quisite population. Does not this di-
vision cut of large percentage of the
present inhabitants, and remove that
admission to still more remote periods
1t is growing country and severing II
! from the remainder does 1t not depres>
Idahos future prospects, diminish it,
resources, cripple every element of flu.
ture prosperity2 Ii not the Territorial
revenue diminished, something that
| effects every county, Cut of the North
ern counties and how will Idaho look
upon the map? Poor md insignificant
indeed Two thirds of what will be lief
is a mountainous and desert waste. I
will cut poor figure compared witt
other Territories in the Union. II th'
measure be opposed now, probably thu
result will be that the Southern coun
ties In turn will be carved up and alb
sorbed with adjoining States and Terri
tories, and eventually thename of ldah,
will disappear from the maps.

The Republican Convention.

The republican primaries held last
Saturday night appeared to have been
tame affairs. In other words the bosses
had things all stacked up" before hand,
and all the voters had to do was to assem-
BILE together and ratify the arrangements,
This was nothing new for them to do, for
they have been so used to doing this very
same thing that it has became second
nature to them. 1t is understood that so
far as the clerkship is concerned that Bow
man will have walk away. For states
attorney Guyer has the lead by few
votes, but not enough to warrant his
nomination at this stage of the game.

ford is about neck and neck Rock Island

AN ANGRY OFFICIAL.
Capt. Robt. KOehler Stops Attorney E.
d. Sweeney on Eighteenth Street,
and Assaults Him.

Last evening about z o'clock City Clerk
Koehler stopped Attorney E. d. Sweeney
on Eighteenth street and Second avenue,
and made an assault on him. Mr. Sween
ey was passing down the street in
buggy. Mr.. Koehler was walking along
the sidewalk, and seeing Mr.. Sweeney
coming he rushed out into the street. and
made an assault upon him. He hit him
in the chest with his fist, and then taking
his cane he aimed six blows at Mr..
Sweeney with the stick, but none of them
hit the mark, but fell on the buggy. Mr.
Sweeney then drove off, and Mr.. Koehler
went to Justices Office and wanted to
plead guilty to an assault, but the justice
told him that he would have to wait
while until it could be learned what Mr..
Sweeney was going to do.
The difficulty between the two gentle
men. as stated in Monday mornings
ARGUS, was that Lawyer Sweeney ques-
toned the honesty of the city clerk in the
Cramer trial. Mr.. Koehler was naturally
much provoked over the attack on his
character, and his pent up fury finally
gave vent last evening in the affair re
corded above Many think that Mr.
Koehler was justified in doing as he did.
This is question of opinion which is not
easily decided, and for one we feel sorry
that such violent action was resorted to .
Mr.. Sweeney has taken no steps towards
the arrest of his assailant, and it is very
likely that he will let the matter drop. In
reply to the Unions charge that We mis-
represented the language used by MIR.
Sweeney towards Mr.. Koehler, we maintain
that we did not, and still believe that our
| assertion was correct-that is il the words
of several gentlemen who heard Mr.
Sweeney's speech are to be relied upon,
and we think they are.

An Elegant Saloon

Some time ago we mentioned the fact
that Mr. Fred Appelquist had moved his
saloon from near the Commercial house
to VIM. Teller's old stand. Mr. Appel
quist determined when he moved his sa-
loon to have the finest and best arranged
saloon building in town, SO he at once
made arrangements with the carpenters
and the painters to go to work. They
completed their work Saturday, and Sat
urday night, an ARGUS reporter was shown
through the building Down stairs in the
saloon proper there are two elegant poo
tables and an elegant billiard table. The
bar has been fixed up in bon ton style,
and the bar fixtures are gorgeous to be
hold. It's Mr. Appelquist's intention to
keep the best of liquors for sale, and at
all times to run quiet, orderly saloon
Going up stairs we found seven rooms
furnished with fine carpets, sofas. center
tables, and other things too numerous to
mention. These are the incest rooms for
the accommodation of private parties,
who wish to drink by themselves, to be
found in the three cities. Mr.. Appelquist
has gone to considerable expense In fitting
up his place, and asks all who wish any
thing in his line to give him a call.
