THE DEMOCRAT is under obligations to
Idaho friends for successful efforts in its
behalf. Additions are being daily made
to its subscription list from that quarter.
1t will endeavor to merit the kindness of
its friends by continuing the course which
appears to meet their appreciation, judg-
ing from the plimentary letters which
frequently accompany orders for papers.

THE EQUINOX.

The reports OF violent storms with
which our telegraph columns are
crowded, show that the autmnal equinox,
though late in asserting itself, has never
theless been unusually severe on both
sides OF the Atlantic, and strewn its path
with death and destruction. On Septem-
Der 23d OF each year-varying a few hours
the sun passes to the southwark of the
equatorial line, or rather the motion of
the earth in its annual orbit brings the
southern half directly in contact with
the SUMS full power. The great changes
effected by such sudden heat on the at
mospheric surrounding OF the earth is
made manifest in violent storms of wind
and rain and are known as equinoctial
storms in consequence These storms
never fail to appear, but differ much in
degree OF power. In the month of March,
on the 2lst or near it, the sun again
crosses the equatorial line, and produces
the same effects on the northern hemi-
sphere, which are called the Vernal or
Spring equinoctial gales These storms
are felt with the greatest effect between
the latitudes OF 25 degrees either side of
the line, north or south, and an exami-
nation OF the history OF all great calami-
ties at sea during these periods of the
suns transit will show that in their linn
its the heaviest gales have blown The
great facilities with which news can now
be gathered from the southern districts
of the country would make this storm
appear to be of extraordinary severity,
when ii such news service existed fifty
years ago, this storm would not appear
in contrast to others to be unusual.
without doubt, the coast line OF the
Mexican isthmus and OF the peninsula
OF Yucatan, have been ravaged far more
seriously than the coast OF Texas, but
there are no means OF knowing it, The
peculiar climatic conditions resulting in

Atlantic or the Pacific oceans. The pecu-
liar coast formation OF all the land lying
along the Gull OF Mexico-being low and
sandy-makes the inroads of tidal waves
almost sure destruction, and the people
OF Sabine knew this. But for the natural
barriers that front Galveston and Pensa-
cola, in the shape OF long sand keys,
those cities would long since have been
swept away, just as Sabine has been, and
just as other settlements on the coast
line like Sabine have been for two hun
dred years back. The dreaded equnioc-
tial should warn the people OF Texas that
sand keys on the coast line are not fit
places to build permanently on, though
it is necessary to use them on account OF
the natural lack OF shipping water for the
commerce OF the country. As shipping
stations they could be abandoned in the
equinoctial season, and occupied again
after its passage, The Sabine disaster is a
peculiarly hard one, as it wipes out the
result of years OF investment and labor
for the development OF the southeastern
part OF the State, and will be Il serious
check on others who would follow in the
track OF the pioneers OF that land,

The MormOns say John HALEY has
been tried and found wanting; that he
has proved himself their bitter enemy
that they are as good now as they We're
two, four, six or eight years ago; that if
they were unworthy seats in the Demo
cratic convention which nominated him,
and were expelled from the same at his
instance, they will also be too unworthy
to cast their votes for him. Under the
circumstances the DemOcrai cannot see
how any Mormon who has a vote can
cast it for Mr.. llailey.-Ldoho Democrat.

WILL BE ELECTED.

Notwithstanding the denunciation by
the Mormon, and the untruthful vilitica-
ton of John HALEY by the Republican
press, that gentleman's strength is daily
increasing, and his election may be
regarded as an assured fact. His acts
and manly utterances during the cam
paign belle the assertions of his political
opponents, and the charges of unsound-
ness upon the principal local question
fall harmlessly to the ground Accepting
the nomination upon platform which is
as plain, forcible and free from evasion
as can be expressed in words, and giving
personally upon the stump the assurance
that he will, ii elected, carry
out the wishes OF his constituents
as indicated by that platform, he
would indeed be void OF honor if he
should verify the predictions OF his enc
mics who are seeking his d efeat by wan
ton assailment OF the sincerity OF his
declarations upon the Mormon question.
Those who know him best do not believe
him capable OF so falsiiying his pledges,
and will support him in full confidence
that he will prove true to his trust and to
the principles which he so forcibly
proclams in his public speeches, and
that he will pursue the course
indicated by them. Sharing the be-
lief in his integrity and having con-
tidence in his ability, the DEMOCRAT
advocates his election, as it would
support any Democratic nominee OF
equal merit, competency and honesty.
1t does not believe that it will ever have
cause to regret its advocacy OF Mr..
Hailey's claims to again represent the
people of our sister Territory, and it looks
forward with confidence to the next ses-
sion of Congress, when his present as
sailants will be forced either to acknowl-
edge their error, or stand convicted of
wilful Justification and malicious slander.

ACCORDING to the Republican papers
the way to catch. Mormon votes is to ex-
pei their delegates from conventions, ad
vocate the rigid enforcement of the
present laws against polygamy and the
enactment Of more stringent ones; to
take from the Mormons the elective
franchise and invest the breaking
ones with the privileges OF the peniten-
tiary That is the way John Haley is
trying to catch them, and ii he succeeds
he ought to be Preside mt Of the United
States instead OF Delegate to Congress
from little Territory, for he will prove
himselfthe smartest man in America.

which was named for your father"
why, how does it happen"
II leave very early" she interrupted,
''and have oceans to do tonight. Believe
me, regret it must be good-by."
SO she left him. He did not see her
again. His mother summoned him sud-
denly to join her at Mt. Desert. and kept
him hanging about her for weeks. 1t was
late in September when he came home. He
had written Helen note, but received no
reply.
He scarcely knew what was uppermost
in his mind when he called the second
morning after reaching home at the Mira
mon.
A bebuttoned person met him in the gOr
geously upholstered corridor.
II wish to see Miss Macy" said he, with
great dignity.
The buttoned person cast an odd glance
at the fashionable young man in glove fit
ting Prince Albert and yellow kids. Then
he said:
This way, sir.'
Albert followed him through winding
hallway to dingy back staircase.
Hip said the slatternly girl, with little
tight wads of newspapers twirled all about
her forehead. ''Ye will not be going up
them stairs. Them's the help stairs"
Buttons degned no reply to this Observa-
ton. To Miramon he said:
Here's the helps sitting room. SIR"
He led the way into a musty room with
an old hair-cloth sofa in it. Then he bowed
and went out closing the door.
Presently it was opened; tall, slender
woman in a dark print dress stood before
him. One is not sure, indeed, but she wore
a white apron, and held her hands in the
little pockets.
miss Macy" said MiramOn.
He rose and offered his hand, but she did
not take it. Her face was pale, her gray
eyes were flashing black.
The fellow brought me in here, "he said.
"Quite right" she replied. 1T was the
only place. told you lived at the Mi
ramon. So do. l am the pastry cook. u
Don't jest with this rubbish. You are

blood, even your pretty dresses"
pretty dresses? Yes, they ought to be
pretty, earned them. Pastry cooks get
good wages"
He paced up and down the room. He
was bewildered, he was wrathful.
"Why do you stalk back and forth in
that stupid way?" she asked. 1T is the
truth tell you. You asked to come
and see me at my house. | said you might.

He stepped in front of her.
"What if [ won't go?" he said
''Oh, my God! Go away! Don't you

She sank on the sofa sobbing.
"Helen, 1 will never go away from you.

You ask me why love my love,
All, think not love needs proving.
She sways me like the breeze above
That keeps the tree tops moving.
In her fair face find bloom
Life would not know without it,
Which, like rose that sheds perfume,
Makes sweet the world about it.
In her deep eyes see light
That makes her slightest glances
AS bright to light as stars at night,
My life's dark fears and fancies.
Through her dear voice there sounds charm
That gives my life attraction,
That bids my stoutest doubt disarm,
And nerves my nOblest action.
Of all life's hues is she sun; tt
Nor whittier could a doves be
Than hers to me, for all arc one,
And that one is, she loves me.

A POOR GIRLS ROMANCE.

Helen Macy sits beside the spring under
meath the willows in Wilson's meadow.
A young man, graceful and very swell,
but trying to look unconscious, approaches.
He lifts his hat with superlatlve grace; he
has handsome head, the wretch, and likes
to show it off.
He says:
''Pardon-Miss Macy, think?-but did
you happen to see copy of the Hand and
Ring lying anywhere about under the trees
here?"
Now, he had not lost any book at all.
He merely wanted to become acquainted
with this young woman VINO had attracted
his notice at that queer country place. The
ruSe was successful.
Miss Macy" said the young man, SIM
ply, after few minutes chat, my name
Is Albert Miramon. l am not of much
credit to my family perhaps, but 1 never
did anything to disgrace it, l think. They
used to call my father Gov. MiramOn."
''And the Miramon house on the avenue
was that named for you?" asked Helen.
Not for me. but for my father. I'm not
old enough to have house named for me-"
Helen was looking meditatively at the
toe of her little bronze slipper. How
pretty she was, how well she talked. and
how exactly she looked the thorough lady
from head to foot!
You have told me who you are, but you
don't know anything about me-" she said.
He smiled at the absurdity of it.
II don't need to know anything. take
you for granted"
There were walks and calls at Wilson's
spring. There were walks and calls at
Wilson's farm house, ana rides. If Mira
mon wondered at first that his lady had no
chaperone-nOt even maid-with her. he
soon forgot all about it in the new. sweet
fascination which drew him to her presence
day by day.
Tomorrow 90 away" said Helen to
him at last, ''by the first tt ain-5 o'clock in
the morning."
Has it occurred to you, Miss Macy. that
you have never told me where you lived in
New York? l want to see you at your
home. May call?"
''Yes, Mr.. Miramon, you roy come if

RESTAURANT PIES.
Hard Facts Brought to Light by Scientific

Hard tactS drought to Light Dy Sc1entlnc
 Investigation.
 The restaurant pie is of an impreg- nable nature that defies the onslaughts of man and renders vain the efforts of steel implements to open it.
 There was once restaurateur who furnished patrons with giant powder free when they purchased his pies, built required such vast quantity that he finally became insolvent.
 These pies make durable paving material, being much more lasting than cedar blocks, and have also been suc- cessfully used as saddles, when molded in the proper shape and provided with stlrrups.
 Instances are on record where they have been furnished with handles and used as sledge hammers to good effect, but they were most too heavy to wield easily.
 The interior of the common peach pie is matter of grave doubt, and many savants have been baff1ed in their efforts to determine the question. Another sa- want and myself once tried to find out, but after quarrying for two or three days were obliged to desist.
 The mince pie is equally vague, and is a splendid guide to the nightmare and premature grave.
 Restaurant pies of all kinds are un- safe and mysterious, unless the guaran- ty of the manufacturer accompanies them, showing that they were not made in stove foundry.-St. Louis Whip
