The people Of our little mountain
State will anxiouoly wait and

Fair,noaat Inder, Democratic: Mr..
Fisher has presented House Joint
Resolution No. 6, proposing an
amendment to the Constitution Of
the State forever prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxica-
ting or spirituous liquors as bey-
erage. Petitions were presented
at the same time, asking the adopt

the sentiment Of the public be-
comes known. However, the mat

The People Should Rule.
Wayne Advocate, Democratic: The
Prohlbitory Amendment will be
before the present Legislature. and
it is sincerely hoped that it will
be submitted to the vote Ut the peo-
pie.
II is an inherent principle Of our
government that all power is vest
ed in the people, and when large
and Intelligent number of them de-
Mana thu h.. a question shall be SUBJ
m;tted to them for decision, /. Is
uuquestionablv the duty of their
representatives to give them an OPP
purtunity to make known their
will. Otherwise the servant b.
comes the master, and our people
instead of being rulers, become
mere vassals of creatures of their
own creation.
1t is useless to argue that the
people in distinction from their
legi slators do not know what is best
for them, and that we must admit
: higher order of intelligence in
few men, who are Legislators, than
in the many who are voters and
citizens. La this day and time the
people are intelligent and inform
ed, and as well know what Is for
their good as the few who compose
the Legislature, and in the ex-
preston of their opinion at the
polls they are as likely to do right,
and to be right. as when they Sc
iected these same legislators.
Whether Prohibition should De
in the organic law of the State or
not is a question the people should
decide for themselves if they desire
it, An Intelligent, free and full
discussion Of the matter will likely
determine it for the best. The peo-
pie should rule. Vo1 poputi, Won

Tucker Democrat: How the Pro

upon by our present Legislators We
ale not advised, neither have we
read the matter up closely, but our
sentiment Is easily expressed upon
the suojyct. We do not believe it

THE NEW GOVERNOR.

John HALEY tclcgraphed from
Washington yesterday to Charles
Himrod of Boise, that Col. +.
A. Stevenson had been appointed
Governor of Idaho. The appoint
ment, we believe, will meet with
general satifaction. It is the first
appointment of a citizen of Idaho
for Governor. Col. Stevenson is
an old resident of the Territory
and thoroughly identified with the
interests of the people, and has
often been a member of the Legis-
iature, as well as having held
several important county Offices.
His appointment is not fully taste
full to all the Democrats. but we
believe the disaftcction comes from
political family jars, and nothing
against Col. Stevenson in point of
ability, integrity or square dealing
as citizen, and so far as Republi-
cans are concerned, while they have
really no voice in the selection of
Democratic officials, at the same
time they are equally interested in
seeing the places filled with good
men, and in this appointment they
will feel that the office will be filled
by a competent, fair-minded man,
who is ready and willing to do his
duty fearlessly and independently
of faction or through prejudice.
There is no doubt but Col. Steven
son will be his own boss he will
not be cajoled or handled by cliques
or rings in either party, and if we
know the Colonel, and we ought to.
it is safe to say that the pardoning
power will be exercised very eau
tiously. Governor Stevenson is
expected home within week, and
it is presumed that he will enter
upon the duties of his office imme-
diately-Boise Statesman, 1st.

The Bear Lake Democrat boldly
announces its determination to
come out strongly in the Anti
Mormon cause under the new name
of "The Southern Idaho Demo
crat." Southern Idaho, and espec-
tally Bear Lake, is composed OF a
great preponderance of the Nor
mon element, and the Democrat
will have to
BEARD the lion in his den,
The Douglas in his hall.
The Moscow Mirror says: "The
fight between polygamy and virtue,
which has raised 80 much fury in
Utah for years, is fast assuming
full proportion in Idaho. Indeed
the question as to whether the same
influences which control Utah can
muster sufficient strength to DOM
mate Idaho is at hand and must be
met. The people of Southern Idaho
are now face to face with this great
problem, and there can be no ques-
ton of Northern Idaho's steadfast
support and unyielding allegiance
to the cause of virtue and decency
when the great day comes"
The proportions assumed by pol
tiles in Central and Southern Idaho
arise with such threatening aspect
before the peace and civil govern
ment Of the Territory that our
brethren of North Idaho are becOm-
ing frightened at the prospect Of
being called into a just defense and,
fearing least they may be compelled
to surrender their seclusion, are
clamoring for annexation to some
unmolested Territory. They don't
care whether it is Montana or
Washington. The following extract
from that region is plain:
The only show for political free
dom in North Idaho is to be
annexed either to Washington or
Montana. We are prepared to
jump either way to get rid of the
cursed Mormon question.-Ceur

Is this patriotism? Is this 10y

The Lewiston Teller which, two
years ago, pooh-poohed as silly the
attempt to force Mormonism into

uous approach of the black cancer

Sawtooth, Idaho, like many 9TH
or camps, is in great need of a
cheap process for working low
grade silver ores. There are hun.
dreds of prospects in that country
that have a fair shipment of ore on
the dump, but rates are too high.
Mining & Scientific Press.
The mining aspect of Sawtooth
is one that cannot be summarized in
so few words. The nature of oper-
ations there, and the requirements
of the camp are governed by the
several classes of ore developed.
Chief Of these is large quantity of
mineral which loosely comes under
the head of "dry ores" and has
been tried for reduction by the
ordinary amalgum and leechlng
processes for such ores. These
processes have only in a measure,
and within limit, proven success
full; as in the case of the Column
bia e. Beaver Company. They
are mostly high grade, and
constitute the characteristic ores of
that district,-antimonial and ruby
silver in quartz. Such mines,
with the exception of the Silver
King, where large concentrating
works are successful, are virtually
idle, since the first named COM
pany is unprepared to operate their
mill this year. With these excep-
tions there is no capital in the
country, and the mines are excluded
by distance from a profitable mar
ket. The lead ores, which are low
grade, form but a small item in
Sawtooth's resources. The invest
ment of capital in any process
that will reduce custom ores at
reasonable rates, will make Saw
tooth a living camp.

There is an oganized band OF
stock thieves in Teton Basin. under
the leadership of Bob Tarter, the
famous desperate in the stock
theiving annals of the borders OF
Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.
He has been arrested time and
again for crimes, but such are his
intelligence and shrewdness, that
he always escaped when the legal
proof was called for. AS an osten-
sible stockman, he has been located
on the outer edge of three territor-
les. His real occupation has
been, however, the stealing of his
neighbors' stock. Passing for a
legitimate cattle breeder, he has the
best of opportunities in the theft
line, and has never failed to i'm
prove them. Always in league and
communication with open thieves,
he has now thrown off the mask
himself, and organized and put in
motion one of the most dangerous
bands of Williams that ever terror
lied a mountain border. Tartar
has a genius for combination, and
the desperate ruflians who acknowl-
edge his sway work on systema-
TIED plans. The band has been
largely increased by dcsperadoes
whom flight last year saved from
the cord and bullet in Montana.
The lawless from all parts of the
frontier have gathered to him, how
ever, and his band is the aggration
of all that is desperate and danger
Gus. The success that has attended
his infamous operations, and the
apparent immunity he enjoys,
have made his name a tower of
strength to the lawless element,
and Teton Basin is looked upon as
q sure refuge and haven of security.

Assuming that the Eastern

to a point where it will materially
affect the production; and as We
and the neighboring Mexico pro-
duce about rs per cent. of the

matter is a very serious one, not
only for the silver mining proper
but for every industry depending
upon the traffic west of the Mis-

The Russian papers confirm the
statement ofthc discovery of gold
on the Chinese side OF the AMOR
river, and thousands of Siberian
gold diggers have gone to the spot.
But the Chinese have also gone
there by the thousands, and will
probably have tho best of it. 1t is
stated that the new diggings arc of
greater extent than the old mines
of the AMOR district in Russia,
which have yielded largely for
years. The Chinese have it in
their power, therefore,, to greatly
increase the gold product of the
world. Wether they let other peo-
plo work there or not is still to be
determined.

The game opened with a good
inning i'm which the visitors made
one run while the home nine was
sent back into the field with a
goose egg. The next inning just
reversed this condition of affairs
and made the game an even one.
In the third inning an unfortunate
error let in three runs for the Wood
Rivers and another run was earned
while the Capitals got in only one
run. This gave them a lead which
was never overtaken. The next
inning resulted in a white wash for
both sides and the following two
innings were uneventful, each side
getting three runs. In the seventh
inning, however, loose playing by
the Capitals allowed the visitors to
make four runs, while costly errors
on the part of the Wood Rivers let
in an equal number for the home
nine. The eighth inning resulted in
two runs for the brown suits and
the Capitals getting a goose egg,
while in the final inning each scored
one run. The following is the
