strength to Sheriff Furey in pro-
tecting the Chinese from mob vio-
lence. The League is in thorough
sympathy with the sentiments of
the Governors proclamation. If
the Governor will only continue to
stand shoulder to shoulder with the
League, the Chinese problem will
soon be figured out satisfactorily
to all conccrncd.-News Miner.
The little oppositions we,
as the people of Central Idaho
have to contend with in our anti
Chinese war, are loud-mouthed and
much more demOnstrative than
are the real workers in this great

rous Chinese from our midst. They
howl about it's being anything but
productive of good effect; that this
is political jobbcry; that those in
terested in the move are but the Off
scourings of hell and full of riotous
thoughts and Observation-Disclosures.

The Boise Statesman is taking a
good many liberties with the
names of prominent men in the
ranks of the Republican party in
suggesting them for candidates as
Delegate to Congress. AS the
Statesman is considered extremely
bad company, it will be well for as
pirants to steer clear Of its hug,
for the embrace is political death.
The Boise ring has got to the end
Of the cord. 1t has had its

time to teach the insolcnt rogues
is ut the next election.-C9ur
