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 polygamy and its attendant stat
utory offenses 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 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
a thousand times more towards
the suppression OF the Mormon evil than
was effected in quarter OF 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

TO THE RESCUE!

Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, we are
sorry to note, is being roasted in 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 So 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 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 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 q fair chance among you
at all hazards. We heartily agree with
the Sun in the following:
It 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
ishment at being offered six dollars 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 Cleve-
land with his compliments-not as matter
of charity, but to be paid for at the regular
rate of one cent. word, provided, of course,
Miss Cleveland finds it suitable for the col
umns of the magazine which she edits.

DOUBLY OFFENSIVE.

District Attorney Dickson must have
felt considerably Inundated at the re-
marks OF morning paper concerning a
little tongue tilt between himself and
member OF the bar who was acting as
opposing counsel in a 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 ofiicious APP
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 cnti-
tied to more credit than those who
occupy a like present position, without
first having to overcome the effect of such
early teachings and associations. As a
lawyer, it is 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 a polygamist is no
reason why he should be slurred because
OF his Mormon parentage, or accused OF
lack OF fidelity to the principles which he
has 80 often advocated with such telling
force and effect.

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 his 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.

THE Daily News Of Munich tells a story
Illustrative OF the queer freaks of the late
mad King OF Bavaria lie had an excel
lent valet, whose services he priced
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 do not want
ever to see your face again" The man
went away as rapidly as he could. Then
the King had succession of Wallets, 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 him 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 we'll,
your Majesty" he said, "you need not
sec his face again. We will make a
blackamoor Of him" To that the King
assented cheeriully, and thereafter, un-
til his death, he was faithfully served by
an apparent negro, who was, however
native Of Munich, his old white valet.

The -Burke-Norton Match

The boxing match between Jack Burke
of New York, claiming to be champion
middle weight of the world, and Thomas
Norton, of Sacramento, drew quite alarge
audience to Turner Hall last night. The
central contest was preceded by three ANA
teur matches of little interest, the best
being between two boys. Haley and Abigo.
At half-past 8 Burke and Norton came On.
Burke is a finely built man, long-limbed,
and in apparent excellent training. Norton,
while he keeps IN fair training, is of lesser
weight and stature, and not nearly so well
built a man. While Norton is a good boxer
and fences skillfully at all points, he is no
match for Burke. Parson Davies seconded
Burke, and Prof. Simons seconded Norton.
Mr.. Scott was chosen referee. The match
was for five rounds, Burke to knock on"
Norton. Burke claims that the Chief of
Police sent word that q knock out :"
would not be allowed, and hence all that
could be given was an exhibition of scien-
tifc boxing. When the gloves were thrown
on the stage officer Sullivan rejected the
small ones, and the men were compelled
to choose the larger ones. With these,
Burke claimed, there could be no knock
out" Norton, by his brother, came for
ward with the statement that the gloves
were three-ounce, and what had been
understood were to be used. but Burke's
friends commended they were pillows"
Scott, the referee, says they were four
ounce gloves, and the rejected ones one
and one-quarter ounces. In the first round
Burke took a few body blows and gave
Norton a stiff one in the neck. Most of
the round consisted of posing, lodging and
feints. In the second round the honors
were easy. In the third round there was
some hitting, but nothing severe, Norton
taking some sharp hits about the
head, but lodging more, while Burke
took a few about the chest and neck.
The fourth round was a repetition of the
third, and the fifth was a little more lively,
but no more decisive. The decision of the
referee was not heard in the noise of the
departing crowd, but it mattered very little.
The fencing of the men was good, and, as an
exhibition of skill, it was fair. 1t was evil
dent that Burke could have done pretty
much as he pleased with his antagonist.
He frequently put his gloved hand into
Norton's face deliberately, and held it there
a couple of seconds, as if to show with
what ease he could plant blows or Norton's
frontispiece, if he chose to do so. While
the match demonstrated Burke's skill, it
awakened but little interest among the
spectators. Burke was solicitous that it
should be understood 10 be only =" scientific
sparring,n after he was debarred the use of
the small gloves.

Police Court.

In the Police Court, yesterday, the case
of Frank 0'Niel, for misdemeanor, was
continued until to-day, and Mary Spain's
case of petit larceny went over until the
18th. The assault to murder case of Yee
Yuen occupied nearly the whole of the
day and dragged YEARLY, owing to the
time occupied in getting answer to ques-
lions through an interpreter. City Attor-
ney Hart and j. T. Carey conducted the
prosecution, and c.. T. Jones defended. The
residents of the Chinese quarter take a
great interest in the case, and the Court
room would have been crowded with them,
but, at the request of the attorneys, the
Court ordered them excluded. Jerome
Willard, of San Francisco. is acting as in
terpreter, and Lee Hung, the Court inter-
prefer, is also present. The case is likely
70 last a day or two longer. The case of
Henry A. Caulfeld, which was on the cal
endar for yesterday, went over until 100

CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURE.

We are carrying this season a new make
of California Flannel Undershirts. Drawers
and Overshirts for mems wear. The flannel
in these goods is of exceptional excellence, be-
ing soft, heavy and firm. while each garment
is carefully made. Another point in favor of
these goods is that they are cut plenty large
the shirts running 81, "a and SO inches in
length. Many makes Of Flannel Underwear
are cut SO scant that after washing they shrink
and become too small.
Now that cold weather is SO near at hand,
it will pay everyone to bear these goods in
mind, and if at any time they wish to pur-
chase to see them before buying elsewhere.

A Young Burglar.

Last Saturday evening John Stewart, pro.
prietor of a little saloon at Twenty-second
and H streets, closed his place of business
and came down town. On returning, about
10 o'clock, he found that a thief had en-.
tered the premises during his absence and
stolen a bulldog revolver and about 81 in
money. Tuesday noon he had occasion to
leave the saloon again, and when he came
back he found Il boy named Jim Daily
about 10 years of age, who has worked in
the stables at Agricultural Park, operating
at the door, in the lock of which a kew was
inserted. In response to Stewards inquiry
as to what he was doing, the boy said that
a man had been trying to burglarize the
place, but ran away when he came. Stew
art subsequently informed officer Coffey.
who arrested the youth. The latter was
very indignant, avowed his innocence, and
threatened a suit for false imprisonment
Yesterday, however, Coffey learned where
Daily had sold the stolen pistol, and on be.
ing confronted with that fact the youthful
burglar weakened, admitted tn t he stole
the weapon, but denied having taken any
money.

Lemon-Growing in Central California.

During the recent State Fair in this city
a member of one of the largest fruit and
wine-dealing firms of New York was here
as a visitor, and was at once greatly i'm
pressed. as by a new revelation, with the
wonderful variety and quality of our fruits,
extending through the entire range of
citrus and deciduous classes. His atten-
ton was attracted TO citrus fruit-growiDg
by the display of oranges and lemons,
green and ripe, and he thoroughly investi-
gated the adaptability of this section of the
State for citrus production. The resul of
his investigation was perfectly satisfactory.
He was convinced that this region had the
desired soil and climate for the production,
not only of oranges, but of lemons. He
stated that it has been found that in the
importation IF our best lemons, those rom
Sicily, the distance was so great, the time
of the voyage so long, that it is almost
impossible TO get them here in
good condition. The demand at the
same timeis rapidly o%utgrowing the produc-
ton. He therefore determined to establish
an Italian colony here for the raising of
citrus fruits-especially Sicily lemons
aud for that purpose has already given in
structions for the purchase, by an agent, OF
1880 acres of land. The eolonlsts will be
from Sicily, and thoroughly experienced In
the care and cultivation of the lemon. 1t
is his present purpose to plant out nearly
all of the tract TO lemons, reservlng but q
| comparatively small space for oranges.
The firm to which this gentleman be
longs also deals extensively in California
wines. and their experience has been such
as to give them unbounded faith IN their
future. For this reason it is the intention
of the firm TO start a large wine-grape vine
yard with an equal, If not greater, area than
| the citrus orchard.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
An Insane Man Pardoned.

Some years ago a young man by the
name Of William Griffin was committed to
the Insane Asylum at Stockton from Santa
Cruz county, and was afterwards transferred
to the asylum at Napa. He was considered
incurable. Early in March of this year he
made his escape, and in his wanderings
stole a horse. saddle and bride Of the value
of $25.. He was apprehended, charged with
grand larceny, convicted of the crime in
Santa Clara county and sentenced to one
year in The State Prison at Folsom. He
has given much trouble in that institution,
he more properly belonging to an insane
asylum than a penitentiary. From a letter
from the resident physician at the asylum
it appears that the offense was committed
one week alter his escape, and he was then
legally an inmate of the asylum, and not
responsible for his acts. The Board of
Prison Directors are of the opinion that
Griffin should be released from prison, so
that he can be properly cared for by his
father, who is DESTROYS of so doing, and
they so recommend. In Difference to their
request Governor Stoneman yesterday is
sued a pardon to Griffin.
