SHE WAS BRIDGING THE CHAsm

While we were tramping over the
battle fields around Marietta, Ca,
the young man from Connecticut
grew sweet on the pretty daughter
of the widow with whom We boarded.
1t was love at first sight, and they
went in heavy. Our guide had been
an old reb soldier, and when he saw
how things were going, winked the
girl to seat on the wash bench be-
hind the house and said: 'sNow,

"a healthy PERSONS pulse,p says
the Lancet, "beats 10 times minute,
but there are, however, peculiar con-

If Mr.. Maxwell's vote OF 1850
had been given to Mr.. Mason, (and
it could have been done,) he would
have been elected by nearly sir
thousand majority. Why was it
not done? Because there were too
many who "did not think it was
any USE" Will the Republicans of
the Cd district let the election go by
default in 1856? We trust not.
Send full delegation to the Con-
yention on the 9th of September,
then organize your forces in every
school district, get out your vote,
and all will be WELL

---w~

The wild gulls wheel and waver,
They call and cry,
In sad, shrill notes that quaver
Tween earth and sky;
The red sun sinks apace,
While yet his cleaning face
Looks out moments space
Through mists that fly.
The toiling team moves slowly
In rhythmic beat,
With patient heads bent lowly,
Their heavy feet
Past fresh-cut burrows clear:
While low waves whisper near,
And sweet earth odors here
The salt airs meet.
Dim wings of twilight hover
Ger field and sea,
For day is past and over
And silently,
With weary sense and light.
Through wales of fading sight,
The ,plowman welcomes night,
Where rest shall be.

A LoNG-TERM official says: "The
people put me there 1t is not so.
Trickery and tricksters and money
put you there. You could never get
there by fair play. If it is the people
who do it all, why the necessity of
pulling, hauling, working, and
putting money where it will do the
most good? You know that without
the aid of tricks and trade you never
could win. Office hunting with you
is a profession, and you thoroughly
understand every branch of that pro-
fession. A fair man who is the peo-
Piles choice can almost invariably be
defeated by constituencies trickster.
1t is deplorable that such is the case,
but it is fact. When the people
catch on to the trickster's tricks then
they defeat him, but in some cases
they are long time catching on.
The trickster wears a mask. When
the mask becomes so thin that every
body can see through it, then his
game can no longer be played to win

FIINT.-We have always had faith
in that mining district, and we are
pleased to note that our predictions,
that when properly worked and de-
veloped, that it would prove one of
the best and richest mining camps on
the coast, are about to be realized.
The more development work that is
performed, the richer and larger
grow the lodes. The company are
now extracting good ore, the richest
of which is sacked as it is taken out.
Ore houses are being built, and the
machinery for reducing the ore is be-
ing erected. The main building for
the plant is much larger than was the
Rising Star mill. All the working of
the mines and the construction of the
building for the plant were and are
under the supervision of Superinten-
dent Stanton, who seems to under
stand himself perfectly. When the
whistle blows and the reduction of
ore is commenced, the desired time
in Flints history will have arrived.

THE stand of Fred Dubois on all
questions affecting Idaho is we'll
known throughout the Territory
The Lewiston Teller is the strongest
annexation paper of the North, and
it says that Dubois IN his speeches
in North Idaho states boldly his
stand On that question. He is oppos-
ed to the annexation of the northern
counties to Washington. The Teller
a Republican paper, hoists the name
Of Haley as the annexation candidate
In Mr.. Hailey's speech in Boise City
he is reported as saying that his an
nexation pledges made to the NortE
two years ago held good for only two
years, and that said question is now
dead-that there is change of sen
timent in the North and annexation
will not figure in the present cam
paign, as neither party had planl
in its platform this fall touching Oh
annexation. Now he goes to tn
North and poses as the annexation
candidate. For double dealing OF
political questions "Honest John

STATESMAN: Judge Hays is round
ly denounced by the extreme and
jack Mormon wing of the democracy
in this city, because of his recent de-
cision sustaining the test-oath, and
curses loud and deep go up against
him on all sides. They cannot see
how democrat can have the courage
Of his convictions to act in a matter
adversely to the democratic party.
The conservative democrats look up
on the decision philosophically and
are disposed to accept it in good faith
as the inevitable and to make the
most of it. The decision Is the death
knell Temporarily at least) of the
democratic party in Idaho, and to such
men as Messrs. Ainslie. Pefey, Demp-
sey, Catalan, Hon. John Haley and
others, it is bitter pill; but they
must take their medicine like little
men and submit to the inevitable. If
the democratic party wants to keep
up with the procession they must fall
in with the republican party on the
Mormon question and march to the
music ofprogress and advanced ideas

The charge that all Democrats are
Mormon sympathizers is not fact.
Many true Democrats say, and they
mean it, that they do not like Halley's
Mormon record, and they will vote
for Dubois. There are many such in
this county. They are Democrats
4 and good ones, too, for all that-away
ahead of those who belong to the
jack Mormon brigade. The Demo
cratic party of the Nation is anti
Mormon. Which is the better Dem
I ocrat, he who is with his party in a

therefore not in sympathy with the
I Democratic party of the Nation on
