Several resolutions Of vital importance to
the craft have been adopted, and a probable
combination will be formed against those d
solicitors for Eastern paper dealers and print
ing houses who have made practice OF first
selling u bill of paper and then taking orders
for job printing, thus Misunderstanding" the
local papers.
The proposal of the Union for a similar
association composed Of the newspaper men
Of Eastern Washington and Oregon and
Northern Idaho, is being favorably received.

the greater cost, they buy their clothing, dry
goods and groceries of the very merchants
who send abroad for their printing. The
merchant expects the editor to advertise the
town and country in which his paper is pub
lished; to suppress ali that would hurt the
place and surrounding country, and thus in
cidentally reduce the volume of business
transacted by the merchant, and yet the mer
chant sends abroad to have his printing done
by men from whom 1t is impossible for him
to receive particle of patronage, and in dull
times takes out the advertisement he threw
to the newspaper man in the busy season, as
he would an old coat to q beggar. A Press
Association might stiffen the back bone of
the newspaper publishers of the Inland EN-
pira, and unite them in an effort to obtain
living rates for their labor in charging con-
slant advertisers less than occasional patrons;
in charging all who do not regularly adver-
tise, transient rates in refusing to patronize
those who do not patronize them. By united
action the newspaper men in the Inland EN-
pire can do much to advance the dignity and
independence of the craft, much toward adj
vancing the manifold interests Of the coun-
try in which they labor. United, We are
great power.

The Busssiness Outlook Frightening

BALTIMORE, Feb. 13.-Since January 1st
ninety large manufacturing enterprises have
resumed work, giving employment to 10000
operatives, and it Is stated that fully 10000
hands are employed by smaller works that
have started up, the names of which are not
given. During the last two weeks twenty
one other concerns, largely iron works, have
started up again, some after an iieness OF
weeks some after an idleness of months
thus still further Frightening the outlook for
business. Our reports from all sections In
dictate q better feeling In trade circles.

ENGLAND b thoroughly aroused over the
condition OF affairs In Egypt. On last Sat-
urday two OF the most famous OF Ito rsgi-
mems, the Scots Guards and Coldstream
Guards, sailed from Gravesend for ths seat
OF war. These contain some OF the best
blood OF England, and their being sent 70
the front 10 alnost equivalent In ito effect
upon England to that IL would have on New
York were the Seventh Regiment ordered
Into active service. Every man In these
regiments han The pride In hiA regiment Of
one Of Napoleons "old Guard," and many
carry 10 their persons the homer OF English
families that date from the conquest. Such
men battle TO conquer or die and viii add
lustre 10 the British name, but Ii il dearly
purchased glory when insufficient numbers
OF such men are sent 10 be slaughtered by
the hordes Of The desert instead Of massine
strength and crushing the enemy. The
course Of England Ia this Eoudan war has
been one Of consummate folly and useless
sacrifice ever since II began In the wsnton
bombardnent Of Alexandria. Il hes been
like thrustiDg icIclss int forge that should
have been swept By An avalanche.

EXCITEMENT IN ENGLAND.
The Militia Called out-A Universal Feeling
Of Alarm.

LONDON, Feb. 2o.-The Government has
called out the militia and suspended trans
fen Of officers from the regular army to the
reserves. This action has created profound
sensation and . general feeling of alarm re-
speeding the safety Of not only the forces
under Gen. Butler, but also under Wolseley
and yrackenbury. The opinion is widely
expressed that the war Office has received
more startling information than was con-
veyed In the telegram of this afternoon In
relation to Butler being hemmed In at Abu
Klea Wells.
II Is noticed that the quantity Of amnuni.
ton and projectiles now under process Of
manufacture and preparation at Woolwich
arsenal for transport to Egypt is greater thai
the quantity sent out Of the country during
the entire period Of the Crimean war. This
fact induces the belief that the Government
ID preparing for long campaign.
RokE, Feb. 20.-Gen. Ricotti aud Admiral
Brin, ministers respectively of war and ma
rine, are preparing 70 take prompt measures
In the event Of the conclusion Of m alliance
with England.
In the Lords to-day, Earl Granville pre-
scented the Queens message calling out the
reserve and ordering the embodiment Of the
militia, In view OF the necessity Of the de-
fsnss Of Egypt and the protection Of the
interests sf the Empire. Her Majesty's mes
sage consists Of two psrtions-one ordering
out the reserves, and the other the embodi-
ment or calling out OF The militia. The re-
serves are soldiers who have completed their |
first term Of service (six yean) with their |
colors, and are then allowed TO retire to |
civilian life. They are always liable, how
evef, 70 b summoned, In case Of emergency, |
10 serve another term Of six years with their
regiment. They receive, - retaining fee,
sixpsncs day. The militia are an entirely
distinct body. They need mot necessarily
sver have been in the army. They form the
bird line ofths national defense, volunteers
orming the fourth.
LeNDox, Feb. 2l.--An Arabian paper re-
'orts that the Mahdi promised FArag ll0, coo

ANTHONY CoMsTocK, the New York sup.

capped the climax of several ridiculous
doings BY suppressing "The Arabian Nights"

OVER In Idaho couple Of weeks ago, the
Boise Democrat Office was set on fire and ex-
tinguisbsd withtriniDg damage, and the same
night, after the edition was worked Of, some
type In the Boise Republican Office was pied,
and few letters Of head-li line thrown out
In the snow. A bitter factional fight, In
which Democrats and Republicans appear 10
have been considerably mixsd up, had been
raging there, principally over the appoint
ments'to Territorial Offices, and these things
are alleged on one hand TO have bsen incl
ted By the attitude Of those papers, and on
the other hand IL 10 intinated the newspa-
pen were In collision 10 have these thinss
done TO make sympathy for their cause. The
Salt Lake Tribune, generally pretty we'll In
formed on Idaho matters, has been unable
TO unravsi the rights and wrongs and mys-
teriss Of the AFFAIR, and our reading OF the
Idaho papers does not give much insight
into the merits OF the quarrel, or where the
guilt rests In the alleged oatrages.
