SINeISER REEOMINATED.

BOISE CITY, IDAHO, Sept. Ii, 'S4.
In the Republican convention, to-dSyi
Singiser was renominated for u elegste TO
Congress, receiving twsnty nine votes
to eight for Beatty.
The above special telegram con-
veys news that will be welcomed
by all lovers of honesty in Office, and
BY all well-wishers of the Demo
cratic party In Idaho. Singiser has
the reputation of a corruptionist and
political jobber, a reputation which
his denomination seems to bear out
It is notorious that he is objections
able to the better element of the
Republican party, and it was the In
tention to defeat him In the con-
vention, but 1t seems his peculiar
methods have prevailed over honest
opposition. Why his denomination
will be good news to the classes
mentioned above IL because it
means an easy victory for any
clean, honest Democrat who may
be nominated by the Democratic
convention which meets in Boise
to-day. Singiser cannot carry the
party with him and will no. this
year have the benefit of the ants
Mormon vote which put him
through two years ago. Leading
Republicans and intelligent anti
Mormons understand the mistake
they then made and are not likely
to repeat it.

TuE opposition to Governor Ireland
consists of Marion Martin, who. In the
language of the Post, stands in the
position as the "great deserted" and
General Sui Ross, who Is being doomed
in desutory sort of way by few Of

Ireland may not be the strongest and
most popular man before the people, yet
he ha made n most excellent executive,
barring few natural mistakes, and it
will b. rather difficult to find the man
that can combine any more elements Of
strength in the convention than he has.
The Martin followers were claiming the

it go, and IL looks as If all the other
aspirants will do the same thing.

From llarper's Tor May.
A gentleman in Richmond, Va, had u
servant named Joe. One morning he
lay in bed till . o'clock, but no Joe and
no fire. The impossibility of shaving
with water so degrees below freezing
point brought imprecation on the tardy
domestio's head, when the door opened
and Aunt Polly leisuIely began to light
the fire.
"Where in thunder (the historian is
nothing II he is not accurately sis that
son of yoursY I've been waiting fol
him two blessed hours"
"Now, Marse Tray, you must 'scuse
joe" said the mother in her most con
oilitating tones, ''you must 'ouse Joe dis
mornin'-Joe's dead"

GREE traders who are advocating n
further reduction in the duty on
woolens,n says the Cincinnati Times
Star, "would do wisely to make note of
the action of Judge Hilton, ofNew York,
who, as he says, has closed his wooden
factories in this country because he can
buy wooden goods abroad cheaper than
he can manufacture them here. Had 1t
been possible to reduce the wages of his
employees to the figure paid in European
countries. he could have kept running,
but not desiring to do that he was
obliged TO stop altogether, thus throw
ing large number of people out of
work. This will be the inevitable effect
upon nearly all manufacturing indus
tries. II the theories Of the free traders
are ever put into practice"

FENCE cutters are at work in Cooke
county. and the Gainesville Independent
speaking of the occurrence, says: Fence
cutting seemed not such terrible thing
when it was going on west Of us and we
heard of 1t only through the medium of
the telegraph, but when we are brought
face to face with 1t and see the devilish
perpetrators of the crime boast of their
strength, and challenge the officers Of
the law to take them, it is time to wake
up. On the borders where little law is
known, such crimes are not so hideous,
but in mile of n populous city, they
become disgrace that should and must
be wiped out. These same men would
fire the town to crafty their own hellish
purposes. Justice is represented as
blind, and we think that If she does not
deal out swift punishment to these min
ions of Satan she is not only blind, but
an imbecie besides. Such things are O
stain upon the name of our county and
no citizen should rest easy until it has
been wiped away

by his friends in all parts of the country
he infinitely preferred his present posi-

excellent President, and If the Republic

THERE is a great deal of cant talked
ness when real, is Il quality both neces-
sary and admirable, but the misfortune
is that there is great difficulty in de-
teoting real earnestness. 1t is the same
woman as it is with that creation of
modern times, the intense character. In
both are to be observed an enlarged idea
Of the importance of the thoughts that
are in their mind and the intolerance
they possess for any other persons
idiosyncraoies, and nm utter contempt
for everything their individual intellect
cannot understand. The charm the So
called earnest man possesses for some
minds is really unintelligible. Once
under his spell they gaze upon him with
n generation, which they must confess
is not because of any other merits he
has developed. The earnest man will
gravely and painfully expatiate on sub
jects which the most Insignificant or
volatile of his worshippers would have
known some long period before, but If
they express their views in concise
manner, not being vanished by a pro-
fession Of earnestness, they entirely fail
in their effect. A really earnest man is
perfectly unconscious. This earnest
ness is only developed by action, not be-
ing kept for example or display. OF all
| quaoks the earnest man is the greatest,
though he may have a thorough faith
and implicit belief in his own earnest
ness. A heavily knitted brow, folded
arms and solemn verbosity, are the stock
in trade of the earnest quack who has
not the vaguest idea of what he means
but meaning it all intensely. Not only
does earnestness cover n multitude Of
sins, but inspires its admirers with E.,
pleasing idea of their own depth. Tn,
preparatory deliberation with which h,
makes an assertion is laughable, Will,
his admirers will be convinced that thu
subject is weighty in proportion to thu
apparent force expended upon 1t.
