CUT HIS CHAINS.
News Miner

Wednesday was the day set for
sentence to be passed upon Frank
Armstrong, convicted for the murder
OF Frank Hubert. When he was
taken from his cell in the county
jail to appear before the court, it
came to light for the first time that he
had been tamperlng with the shackles
on his feet. A link in the connect
ing chain Was found to be cut nearly
In two, and the cut was filed with
dough so cleverly that a casual OBJ
server would not have detected any
thing wrong. The chain is made out
of Norway iron. 1t is supposed that
Armstrong, with the desperation pc
cullar to doomed man, was getting
ready to make a break for freedom
when the first favorable opportunity
offered itself.
The shackles were taken to the
blacksmith shop of Alex. McKibben,
where new link was substituted for
the useless one. The cut which the
prisoner made in the chain was very
clean one, and the implement used in
making it is thought to be caseknife
At any rate the link was nearly cut
in two, and it only required a little
strength to break it.
When Armstrong was brought into
court he looked much different from
what he did during and at the close
of his trial. His appearance was bad
and it is hardly to be wondered at
The suspense accustomed by not YET
knowing his fate, coupled with con
finement, is having its effects.

AT a reception given Delegate
elect, F. T. Dubois, at the Central Ho-
tel in Boise City about week ago
that gentleman closed an address,
published in full by the Boise City
Republican, with the following re-
marks:
The annexation feeling is so strong
in North Idaho that had it not been
for the Mormon question, Mr.. Hailey's
majority would have been 1900.
While Mr. Haley substantially carri-
ed every county in North Idaho, on an
nexation, substantially carried every
county in South Idaho-save Ada
on the Mormon question. Whether
rightly or wrongly, | was regarded as
an enemy to the saints" and their
teachings, while Mr.. Haley was re-
garded as their friend. The people,
regardless of party, for nearly every
county in South Idaho is Democratic,
having said in unmistakable language,
that this frightful incubus, which was
SO fast settling down upon our fail
Territory, must be destroyed. l dc
not claim that l was elected because
l am Republican, but because the
people believed l was earnest in my
desire to destroy Mormonism, which
is treason, in Idaho.
1t seems to me that it is impossible
to mistake the verdict, and | believe
the day has passed when Mormon
svmpathizers or allies can ever agar
lead either political party here. Here
after, there must be no collision, o
suspicion of collision, between any
party or person seeking political pre-
ferment In Idaho, and REASONABLE
polygamists. That, take it, is the
valuable lesson taught by my elec
ton. l can best serve the people o
the entire Territory by striving zeal
ously to bring the people within the
laws.
The very existence of Mormonisn
as now constituted, is an open men
ace to our system of government;

AN UNJUST BOYCOTT,

AN UNJUST BOYCOTT.
 We do not believe that unjust ''boycotts' will hereafter be very successful in this country, and the present indications are that it will soon be hard to induce respectable people to give any help to boycotting. A case which indicates change in this matter is that of the Morning News of Wilmington. Delaware
 Not long time ago number of manu- lecturers of Wilmington were notified that they must be in certain place at a certain hour to meet certain committee. No in formation concerning what the committee wanted being given the manufacturers did not go, and then their employees were ''cslled out" The News frankly said that this &C., tion of the workingmen was ill advised and injurious. The News itself soon became an object of attack. A demand was made that it become union office, employing none but union men with union foreman. The pub fishers replied that they were entirely willing to have their men join the union, and, if the wages were not satisfactory, they would submit the matter to arbitration. This was not accepted and further demand was made for the discharge of the. foreman and the employment of union men. The News answered thus: 'sThere is no power on earth can make us desert men who have stood faithfully by us, so long as they are content to remain with us and do their work we'll
 Then the News was boycotted. It ap- pealed to the sense of fair play which it be- ieved existed in Wilmington, and it found that it was not mistaken. An association of merchants and others has been formed which has agreed to take and pay for such space in the advertising columns as is vacat- ed under the boycott. And the News con- tinuss to prosper It-gives the following sound advice to those who are boycotting it.: You have got it into your heads that you must regulate and control the course of other people, This belongs to feudal society, where they have real knights, and barons, and dukes. This country is not provided with that sort of social furniture, and it will not tolerate it's introduction. We are all equal fellow citizens in this country, in re- spect to our rights, and one main right of everyone here is to be let alone in his own business. You have overlooked this point completely, and have undertaken to devote all your time to other peoples business. It is 8 great mistake, and it will be great mis- take to the end. You cannot get rid of it. it will vitiate all that you do unless you stop short, go back, and begin over again with a clear idea of what is your own business and with an unalterable determination to attend to that alone. There is no other way. Truth is mightier than violence or sincerity. A bit of untruth in your reasoning, bit of error in your moral philosophy, will throw all your conclusions and all your acts out of joint. If you start brick wall out of plumb it will not become square and true by carrying it higher. On the contrary, the higher it goes the more dangerous it is.
