WHEREAS, Authentic statements
and information from sources
deem reliable, have been received
at this department from different
localities in Idaho that numerous
organizations have been formed and
are now forming for the purpose OF
expelling, by force and violence,
the Chinese who may be found in
those localities on and after the first
day of May, 1885, 1t is hoped that
none of our citizens will join in
with such movement, nor counte-
nance in any way such violations
of law. The life and property of
our citizens, and those of the
Chinese as well, who are engaged
in our midst in peaceful occupa-
tons, are entitled to and must
receive the equal protection of the
laws of our Territory.
l do, therefore, admonish the
people in every portion of Idaho to
oppose in every lawful way the
institution of such riotous proceed
ings and mob violence. And l
warn those persons, organizations
ard committees having in view the
forcible expulsion of the Chinese,
or any other persons now pursuing
their peaceful labor, against such
acts of violence, with the assurance
that the law will hold those who
may engage Ia such deeds respon-
sible, individually and collectively,
for the results of their acts. And
l particularly notify and call on
the Sheriffs of the counties and the
officers Of the law to use every
precautiOn to prevent all riotous
demonstration for such objects, and
if unable to maintain the peace and
majesty of tho law, to call on every
male citizen to assist you, record
ing tho name of every man who
refuses you assistance, or who are
riotous, for future prosecution.

The gossips have had a great
deal to say about the President
rumored marriage in June, and
many people believe it will take
place. Fho alleged bride, who is
said to be selecting her rousseau
beyond the seas, is discussed from
every standpoint, and there is great
demand for her photographs. Mr..
Cleveland neither afiirms nor denies,
but simply smiles when twitted by
his friends OH this subject. Should
he marry, he will be the second
President to become a groom dur
ing his term of office, ex-President
Tyler being his only precedent.
1t is thought by some of the
wisest men of both parties in Con-
gress that the new tariff bill is
doomed to defeat, but that bills
involving expenditures of money,
such as the educational bill, the
Eads Ship Railway bill, the canal
bill, and all sorts Of pension and
extension bills, will have a chance
of passing.
The Forty-ninth Congress will be
famous for its generosity to would
be pensioners, whether or not it
cOmmends itself to the taxpayer
for economy in the expenditure of
public money. The House has
already passed the Mexican vote
rams pension bill, the yearly
expense of which is estimated to
be over 100000. The bill to
increase widows pensions to $12
per month has become law, and
the pensions of the helpless pen
sioners is to be increased. The
invalid pension committee favors
taking off the Limitation Of arrears
which promises an enormous
increase of expenditures, and the
same committee proposes to pen
sion soldiers who were prisoners of
war for thirty days, instead of
sixty, the term first agreed upon.
Then one bill asks that the wives
and children of soldiers who were
in the Union army and were taken
prisoners by the Indians, shall be
pensioned. The survivors and rel
les Of all the Indian wars ask for
pensions, a certain Congressman
asks pensions for all soldiers and
sailors who have attained sixty-two
years, and deafness is to be COM
penstated for by q higher pension.
That IL not nearly all the pension
schemes, but lack Of space forbids
further enumeration.

a special from Portland, Maine,
says: President Cleveland is not
the author of the phrase, 'inocuous
desuetude,'" said Blaine the other
day. "The idea, of course, was the
Presidents, but the wording was
Mr.. Adee's. This Adee is an Off
cial in the State Department, who
formplates many public documents.
When | was Secretary of State I
had to watch him closely to keep
him from using such expressions,
for which he had strong pen
chant. 1t was Adee, probably, who
inserted the phrase, 'consuetudin-
airy privileges in Bayard's recent
letter TO the Chinese Minister"

legitimate NEWSPAPERS.

James P. Guernsey, editor of the Re-
publican, Rome, n. Y, truthfully says
n the Journalist:
The country is flooded with a class Of
papers which reek with immortality
sewers for the offal of the universe. Still,
we hear very few complaints against
them, and the man who kicks at his
home paper after perusing it for several
hours, remarking that ''there is nothing
in it," will sneak off to some secluded
spot and devour with avidity the con-
tents of so-cslled police journals, which
make a specially of chronicling divorce
cases, Opponents, family quarrels, and
other events still lower in the catalogue
Of shame. Do you ever hear them kick
ing against such sheets9 Oh, mol They
don't read them. But we started out to
talk about legitimate newspapers. The
fault finding reader does not know-or at
least he does not seem to know-that
the editor is much the same as ordinary
mortals. He has his share of trials and
tribulations, and there are times when
the pen forgets its cunning and facility.
At such times. his journal may seem a
trife Gull. Weeks pass without giving
him an opportunity of chronicling some
startling event or inditing an editorial
on some matter contiguous to his village
or city. When opportunities are offered
and he publishes his views On important
matters, his readers will pick them to.
pieces and tell how he could have builded
letter, while the chances are ten to one
that they would never have thought of
giving their ideas in the matter had not
the editor drawn them out. But, did
you ever hear an excuse offered for an
cditor2 We never did. Experience Is a
good teacher. Let the greenhorn who
thinks he can pick up the editorial quill
and WELD it in such a manner that it will
bear articles pleasing to everyone on the
list, and win him a worldwide reputa-
ton, straddle the tripod, dip the quill

Mcclellan and Burnside.

Among the accounts from various
points Of view of the Battle of Fred
ericksburg, in the Century, is one by
General d. N. Couch, from which we
quote as follows: "'Toward evening, on
the sth of November, 1862, at Warren

headquarters to say that he had been
relieved of the command of the army.
Burnside replied:

Burnside heard what I said to Gen
eral Mcclellan; he turned away his head,
aud made q broad gesture as he ex-
claimed:
"HCouch, don't say a word about it.
"His manner indicated that he did
not wish to talk about the change; that
he thought it wasn't good policy to do
so, nor the place to do it. He told me
afterward that he did not like to take
tho command, but that he did so to keep
it from going to somebody manifestly
unfit for it. I assumed that he meant
Hooker. Those of US who were we'll
acquainted with Burnside knew that he
was a brave, loyal man, but we did not
think he had the military ability to COM

that we ride around with him. Such a

marry q man whom she CO Id not en-

The Manuscript Market.

' Junius Henri Browne says in the Forum:
Only those on the inside have any idea
of the excessive supply of manuscripts
wherever they are paid for, the prioe
mattering' little. Such is the general
desire, indeed, to soc ones self in print
that periodicals which receive gratuitous
contributions alone are always full to
OVERLOOKING. There is not a magazine
in the country but has enough accepted
articles for the next two years, without
any additions. Whenever a new monthly
makes its appearance, it is deluged With
papers on every topic conceivable, some
!of them almost uncomfortable. Editors
are in constant terror of manuscripts,
which descend on them like avalanches.
They are very wary and timid on the
subject, and with reason. When any.
body speaks of writing, they are visibly
discounted. 1t is like talking of halters
jim the house of the hanged. They do
not like to say what they feel: "Heaven
and earthl 1 am suffocating from a SUI.
plus of contributions ; he who sends
another is my bitter enemy" lest they'
be thought rude. They shrink from
being polite for fear of opening fresh
sluices. They often hesitate to say:
eve should like to see the article you
mention, though we cannot promise to
use it," which means nothing; is but a
courteous phrase of emptiness. If they
say so, they are afraid that the article
will be offered and rejected, and that its
writer will declare tat he was urged to
prepare it. Many editors put it bluntly:
''We are overrun. We are taking moth,
from outsiders. When we want any
thing special, we arrange for it with n
of our regular contributors" This may
not be exactly true, but it is substantially
so. And it is better to be discouraging
than to excite a hope which cannot be
gratified. To be an editor is inccn-
venient; to be a writer of any kind,
without other source of income, is posi-
lively tragic.

James Hess, in the Herald Of HEALTH,
makes a good point in regard to mems
vests. The trout of the vest is made of
!hick material of several thicknesses,
sometimes ven padded, while the back
where the lungs come nearest the sur

backed vest is responsible for many colds
ind much sickness.
