COLUMBUS, COUNCIL.
The City Contracts Tor the Ensuing
Year Awarded.


Year Awarded.
COLUMBUS, GA, Dec. 29.-The City
Council met tonight and awarded the
contracts for 1887. There was something
of surprise for them in the shape of a
boycott by the druggists when the clerk
reached the bills for furnishing medicine
for the poor. Only one sealed proposal
was found and it was in the share of an
agreement, signed by all the druggists,
pledglng themselves not TO furnish medi.
cine for the ensuing year for less
than $1,000. Last year the city
druggists received $500 and it is claimed
that 1t was too low a price. After bal
1oting G. A. Bradford was elected city
druggist. The Enquirer-Sun was
awarded the advertising aud Thomas
Gilbert the job printing. John Lewis
was appointed city lamp lighter at $275 a
year. After making other awards the
Standing Committees for next year were
announced.

out subjecting himself to execration by
all honorable men, and political ostra-
cism by his party, and it will be the duty,
as it will doubtless be the pleasure, of
the Democratic Delegate to Congress to
endeavor to effect such national
legislation as will most speedily
suppress the objectional practices
of Mormonism and wrest from
the hands of the priesthood that
political power by which the pernicious
institution of polygamy is principally
maintained Hon. John Haley, the
Democratic nominee for Congress, most
heartily endorses every word and syllable
OF the platform, and is making telling
speeches in support OF its principles. The
attempts of few Republican papers, of
but little influence, and less reputation
for veracity, to attach to him the weight
of Mormon affiliation will prove futile.
The platform upon which he is running,
his candid and convincing avowal OF
principles, and his well established char
acter as an honorable and truthful man,
render him harmless to the feeble as
saults of the scribbling maligners who
are yelping at mis- heels. He is as sound
upon the Mormon question as his oppo-
nent, has ten times the intellect and
force Of character-as is acknowledged
even by the partisan friends of the Re-
publican nominee-and would have ten
times the amount of influence in Con-
gress He will be elected by the loyal
voters of Idaho, and the Mormons are
welcome to all the crumbs of comfort
which his success will afford them.

DOUBLY OFFENSIVE.

District Attorney Dickson must have
felt considerably humiliated at the re-
marks OF morning paper concerning a
little tongue tilt between himself and a
member of the bar who was acting as
opposing counsel in case in the District
Court, yesterday. Mr.. Dickson is an able
lawyer, ready debater, quick and sharp
at retort, and amply able to take
care of himself in matter of
that kind, and the officious ap-
propr iation of his cudgels by the editor
OF the morning paper must have been
anything but gratifying to him. The re-
marks concerning Mr.. Rawl ings, while
probably not as annoying to that gentle
man, were in equally bad taste, besides
being devoid of truth. No one who
knows Mr.. Rawlings doubts for a mo-
ment his sincerity or his fidelity to
to the loyal cause, and any attempt to as
perse his character in that respect will
be certain to reflect more severely upon
the defamer than the DETAINED. Although
born and reared in Mormonism, the
young man, when he arrived at a rea-
soning age, had the intellect and courage
to discern its evils and to sever his con-
nection with them. For this he is enti-
tied to more credit than those who
occupy like present position, without
first having to overcome the effect of such
early teachings and associations. AS a
lawyer, tits his duty to advocate the cause
of his client to the best of his ability, and
the fact of his being professionally en-
ployed to defend polygamist is no
reason why he should be slurred because
Of his Mormon parentsge, or accused of
lack OF fidelity to the principles which he
has so often advocated with such telling
force and effect.

TO THE RESCUE!

Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, we are
sorry to note, is being roasted in a mild
manner by the eastern press, and partic-
ularly by that part of it in her adopted
home in Chicago. This is contrary to all
precedent, and is strange from the fur
ther fact that many Of the leading lights
of the Chicago daily press are New York
men, and noted for their indulgence to-
ward ladies who earn their bread by the
pencil. The roasting is given further
! prominence by an article in the New
York Sun. in which it is stated that
John Boyle O'Reily, of the Boston Pilot,
being requested by Miss Cleveland to
contribute an article to her magazine
at the rate of Sc per page, Indignantly
answered in the following fashion:
cannot see," he wrote, "why you should
appeal to the charity of literary people
for the benefit of your magazine. If your
letter is not an appeal for charity, it is
humiliation and disgrace to the lite
rary profession" This from O'Reily
doubtless hurt Miss Cleveland's feelings
deeply, and it is no wonder that it did.
She doubtless offered all she could afford
from the limited means allowed her,
and trusted to his innate chivalry towards
her sex, to lend her helping hand in
establishing high line of literary matter
in her magazine. To help the uncom-
Portable position in which the lady is
placed, and make it worse, she has tax
en- to snubbing reporters, and that in
itself must work her harm But with all
this conceded, is there not enough
of chivalrous sentiment in the
eastern press to come to Miss
Cleveland's aid, and down all the other
fellows who handle her name solely as
that of a writer and overlook the fact that
she has courageously undertaken task
at which they would quail, only for the
good she hoped to do to literature among
them? Where are Gene Field, Mel
Stone, f. D. Bogart, Guy McGee, Wymus
Henderson, and all that crowd who were
wont to come to the aid of deserving
womanhood and make the fur fly from
the backs of all who forgot their devoir
to a lady? Rise up, gentlemen, and
prove by your keen pens that your town
is not lost because of Anarchists or any
body else, and that Rose Elizabeth Cleve-
land shall have fair chance among you
at all hazards. We heartily agree with
the Sun in the following:
1t appears to us that the really handsome
thing for Boyle O'Reilly to do is to recon
slider his decision. We are confident that
his native chivalry and generosity will get |
the better of the momentary sense of aston |
lshment at being offered six dollars a page |
to write for Chicago magazine. Then he |
will sit down and compose an article two |
Thousand words long, in his very best style, |
and mail it to Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleye- |
land with his compliments-not as matter |
of charity, but to be paid for at the regular |
rate of one cent a word, provided. of course, |
Miss Cleveland finds it suitable for the col |
umns of the magazine which she edits.

IDAHO DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

We publish in this issue the full text
of the Idaho Democratic Platform as
adopted by the Territorial Convention of
that party. 1t is sound to the core upon
all National questions, and fully in accord
with the principles of Democracy and the
political progression of the age. 1t emits
no uncertain sound upon the Mormon
question. 1t states in plain, concise and
unmistakable terms the position OF the
Idaho Democracy upon that issue, de-
nouncing the lecherous and treason
able practices of Mormonism and
its interference with political affairs,
and pledging the party to the
strict enforcement of the laws.
against pclySamy and its attendant stat
utory otfenses. 1t expresses sympathy
with the loyal people of Utah in their
attempt to maintain the supremacy OF
the laws, and pledges the assistance of
the Idaho Democracy in the promotion
of such National legislation as will most
swiftly paralyze the power of the priest
hood to destroy,the religious and political
liberties of the people of this Territory.
In short, the platform upon this question
is just what might have been expected
from a party which was mainly instru-
mental in the enactment OF the Test
Oath law, and which in one year of DEM
ocratic National rule has done
thousand times more towards
the suppression of the Mormon evil than
was effected in a quarter OF a CEN
tury of Republican Administrations.
1t gives the lie to the charges of unscru-
pulous persons and journals that the
Democrats of Idaho are seeking by COM
promise of principle to secure the sup
port of the Mormon element at the cleo
ton. No person elected to the Territorial
Legislature upon this platform can vote
for the repeal OF the Test Oath law with

THE Daily NeWs of Munich tells story
illustrative of the queer freaks of the late
mad King of Bavaria. He had an excel
lent valet, whose services he prized
greatly, but who one day committed
some petty fault that threw the quick
tempered monarch into such a tempest
OF fury that he beat him with his fists.
and said: "Get out! l do not want
ever to see your face again. The man
went away as rapidly as he could. Then
the King had succession of valets. each
one OF whom seemed worse, more stupid.
and incompetent than his predecessor.
until the King was frantic all the time.
The Baron Schneider, chief of the palace.
urged MIN to take his old valet back
again, but he refused on the ground that
his dignity would not permit him to do
so,when he had said that he wished never
to see the mans face again. Then the
Baron had happy idea. Every well,
your Majesty" he said, "you need not
see his face again. We will make a
blackamoor of him. To that the King
assented cheerfully, and thereafter. un7
til his death, he was faithfully served bv
an apparent negro, who was, however.
a native of Munich, his old white valet.
Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1886-05-17

The newspapers Of Dakota are gem
orally publishing an opsn letter to the
railroad commissioners from FL. l..
Loucks, president 81 the farmers alli-
ance of Deuel. county, IN which sar-
casm's trenchant blade is vigorously
welded to the confusion of the commis-
sioners. His complaints are reflection
upon the efficiency OF the board, not
speciac, but general and sweeping. We
are not much acquainted with the prac-
tices of the railroad commissioners, but
from theM work have had
occasion to RECOGNIZES many benefits to
the people WHOM they serve. More par
ticElarly is this tneFcase in north Dako-
ia, where wheat is Me staple product.
There the commission has broken up
the elevator monopoly and relieved
wheat growers ffom the disastrous
financial effects of one of ihe most in
furious combinations eyer plaated upon
our coil. We have noticed also many
instances of local benefit from theinter-
ference of the railroad board and nave
become aware of a healthy respect for
these officials on the part Of the railroads
of Dakota. That which they have ac-
complished has been largely accomplish
ed through moral 5uasion, or through
a desire to cater to the opinions of an
official organization clothed with the
power to speak in effective terms to a
legislative body. The railroad commits.
sion has little backing in the way CT
territorial laws. The commission
was created and turced adrift
to do what it could do as an organiza.
ton without any enectments giving to
it the power to enforce its Judgments in
matters of public policy. 1t is the
| fashion to hammer the heads O,
officials and for the dear public to stan6
by and approvingly grin while the
punishment is being inflicted. The
railroad commission is particularly sub
ject to induigences of this nature. II
has no specified work to perform, the
Legislature omitting TO give it legal
vocation after creating it, except te
nominaiy clothe IL with authority te
protest in the name of the people
against certain acts of which the peo
pie might complain. Even with thi
limited authority the commission ha
achieved many successes. 1t would be
well enough for some of the papers Civ
ing publicity to Mr.. Loucks' letter to g.
down into the case and see if it does no
present good side for the object of hi
attack.
