THE DIVISION or THE TERRITORY,

Inc late IsepuDIcAu SS1A1SO"A VII
vention II Boise City made an express
sion OF the party relative to the pro-
posed division Of Idaho, which was in
ciudcd In tho following resolution:
RESOLVED, That the wishes Of the
people Of Northern Idaho in regard to |
annexation to Washington Territory !
akould be faithfully and Justly repre-
scntcd. 1t Is a question Of local impor-
tance With tho people Of that section,
and demands recognition and support
In proportion to the unanimity OF their
expression on that subject"
A stranger to politics and politicians
in Idaho would be puxxled to know what
tho foregoing resolution really means;
hut tits plain enDpRii to anyone ac-
quainted with the facts ns they really
exist. Tho drawer evidently shrank
from placing the bold proposition Of d.
vision In its true shape before the pub
lie; yet In substance the resolution is an
.uthorntivc declaration in favor OF di-
vision. That the people OF the North
crn counties desire to separate and go
they know not whittier, has long been
evident. Perhaps some other counties
would also prefer different associations.
when this Convention surrenders the
subject solely to the wishes Of the peo-
pie Of that one section, it ignores the
integrity OF the Territory and the wish
u Of the whole people OF the Territory;
1T IL question OF local importance
with the people Of that section says
this platform. IL this true? Have not
tho people Of Alturas, OF Ada, OF Owy-
hee, and Of every county, some interest
In this question:?
Idaho cannot expect to enter the In
ION us State until 1t possesses the re-
quisite population. Does not this di-
vision cut OF a large percentage Of the
present inhabitants, aud remove that
admission 10 still more remote period?
II IL n growing country and severing it
from the remainder docs 1t not dcpress
Idaho's future prospects, diminish its
resources, cripple every element Of fu-
tnrc prosperity? Is not the Territorial
revenue diminished. something that
effects every county? Cut off the North
ern counties and how will Idaho look
upon the mapf Poor and insignificant
indeed! Two thirds of what will be left
IL mountainous and desert waste. 1t
will cut poor figure compared with
other Territories In the Union. If the
measure be opposed now, probably the
result will be that the Southern coun-
ties in turn will be curved up and alb
sorbed with adjoining States mud Terri
tories, and eventually the name OF Idaho
will disappear from the maps.
The Bright Black Eye, the Melting
Rlae.
1t Is said that very quiet eyes, which
impress and cmbarrnss one with their
repose, signify not only self -command
bnt also much complacency and some
conceit. Restless eyes, that cannot look
one steadily in tho face, dc.
note deccitf,il. designing mind. Eyes
in which the white has a ycllowish tingC
and is strcaked with reddish veins, prove
much Of strong passion and hasty tenn
per. Very blue eyes bespcak mind In
clined to coqnetry. Gray eyes signify
dignity. intelligence and excellent rea.
soning faculties. Greenish eyes, false.
hood, and fondness for scandal. A ma.
iicious mind is often indicated by green,
ish eyes. Black eyes show q passionate
lively temperament, and oftentimes /
deceitfal disposition. Brown eyes mr.,
generally tender and true, indicating
kind and happy disposition.
