Political AnseMitIea.

u
Perhaps the most gratifying feature OF the
Con gressieaal Campaign now ended. is the
,cbivalrous manner which Mr. Compton exbib-
tied to his opponent. Dr.. Washington 6. Tuck
In his opening speech Of the campaign at Lau
rel, Mr.. Csmpten defined his position toward
his rival by deciariug him ''man Of honor"
and SAYING other such graceful things ABOUT
him, that more than one republican was quite
eap,ivated. While such conduct is nothing
strange for a man no occupies such high
moral plane as Mr. Compton does, and always
has, nevertheless it is an item worthy Of meu-
ton, that political Campaign can be conduc'.
ed BY gentlemen. and in harmonious keeping
with the laws Of good breeding. 1t is a q t.
tering looking straw in the wind, and We
hope, one that promises fair for the future.

harmless, and there can be no i'll result from a
test of its efficacy The recipe Is as follows ::
Place black oxide TO the depth of half an inch
in an ordinary tumber and put IN enough mu-

what is even better, under the bed occupied by

President Smith Of the 0. r. & n,
visited Walla Walla last week and had
an interview with COMMITTEE Of citizens
on the subject Of reducing freishts.
The Onion reports him in the follow
ing language: "Mr. Smith informed
the committee that be deemed it ncccs-
aary % obtain six per cent for the stock.
holders and that be could not do so by
reducing ftieghts. He insisted that
government bonds, drawing three per
cent, were better investment than rail
road stocks which had to earn six per
cent, and might get loss or nothing, in
atsad Of six or moro. In answere to the
suggestion that the farmer is getting
nothing on his investment, Mr.. Smith
spoke Of the probability Of higher prices
for wheat and said that il he should re-
ducs ffeishts this year when wheat is
cheap he could not raise them next year
whsa Il may DO high priced, forgetting
that BE- has il in his power, in the absence
If competition to effect legislation, to
put isishts down one year aud up the
next.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE AND PRO
HIBITION IN OLYMPIA.

A writer in the Oregonian who signs
himself Olympia Ne Two, has the fol.
lowing
To THE EDITOR OF THE Oregonian:
see writer signed himself "Olym.
pic" represents the prohibitionists Of
Olympia as radical, wild aud cranky in
the late local option contest, while the
whiskey men were calm, cool and moder-
ate. Some women whose families had
been ruined by saloons did put in tear
stained ballots for prohibition, while
others, whose families had been equally
ruined by the same cause, Haunted their
whiskey tickets de6antly in their faces.
One woman was so drunk that she had
to be supported by two men to vote; and
she was not a 'transieut" woman. On
the night of the election here there were
drunken. women on the street; some say
five and some only three not transient"
women.
The women were about as equally
divided as the men, and influenced by
the same motives and arguments.
Whether q WOMAN is any more moral
than man. depends ucon who the
woman is and man is. Even Mrs. Duui-
way was not accused of having any more
principle in the contest than the Olympia
editors. Whiskey men now say that
they will vote for none but whiskey men,
and they are said to have secret order
to control elections. The Knights of
Labor, it is understood, intend to take
hand, and it looks as though democratic
and republican conventions will be like
the ring Of France marching up the hill.
Verify "Othello's occupation is gone"
The uninitiated wants Meeker for
delegate. But it is not known who the
secret orders are grooming down for the
race. Two old fogies are trying for the
domination from the Knights, who were
never known to do a days work of man
ual labor. The Knights, especially, os-
tracise lawyers and bankers, though some
Of them in Chicago seem to be 10 press

POLITICAL.

Mr.. EDIToR /:

MIR. EDITOR:
l have learned that two factions of
the Republican Territorial Central Com
mittee, the one embracing Boise City and
vicinity and the other the Wood River
district, have divided, one calls the Re
publican Convention to be at Haley and
the other repudiates that call and pro-
poses meeting of the committee at
Caldwell on the 10th, now | suggest that
the northern members OF the committee
meet and make call for convention
at Moscow or some other point in the
North and nominate a candidate in the
North who will subselve the interests of
the Northern counties regardless of any
thing the other counties may do in the
South, aud teach those fellows in Boise
and Wood river that they are not all of
Idaho, and that neither of them can
dictate or control the votes of the repub-
lican party like so many sheep. They
evidently don't want any harmony unless
each one can have it all his own way
Now I think the republicans of the
North better repadiate both factions,
stay at home and if we assist in nominal
ing anyone, nominate home material and
take our chances in the race. We never
can harmonize with those Southern
fellows, and if We could they will no,
harmopize with themselves.

MUST MAXI SIX PER CENT pCR
HTOCK HOLDERS,

The quotation from the Onion, Of
President Smiths reason why freiehts
cannot be reduced, no doubt is good
for the company, but is it just to the
freighter? II the producer can make
three per cent. upon his investment he is
doing well, as the times are now; money
il reported as offered in Eastern cities at
the rate Of one and one half and two per
cent. per annum with coed security, but
il il not available to the poor farmer
here because of distance Of the security
he has to give, and why she uld a rich
railroad company exact that the producer
pay to the company six per cent. upon
listed stock, which, in most cases, is wat
cred far above the investment made, in
some instances two and three hundred
per cent. In case there is one hundred
per cent. watered stock in the company,
then to exact six per cent. upon the stock
listed, they would have twelve per cent.
upon their actual investment, while the
farmer and producer in times Of depres-
sion cannot obtain three per cent. upon
hin investment, and oftentimes is unable
20 make ono and sometimes rams behind
though he labors hard early and late
Mr.. Smiths pride as president OF great
company, to make big showing Of
profit for his company at the end Of The
year, must be grati6ed even il it grinds
the poor farmer to make barely enough
