mayo REPORTER: It was ascer
tanned yesterday from what is deem.
ed IA reliable source, that the Mormon
leaders ordered new deal in the
politics of Idaho. Both parties, Dem.
ocrats and Republicans, in their re.
cent conventions, ignored the annex
alton question ana presented anti
annexation candidates. The Nor
mons have always favored annexation
and it is said they intend to call an.
other convention and nominate a
candidate upon a pro- Mormon an
nexation platform. They claim that
a prominent politician from North
Idaho will be the candidate of this
new party We shall see what we
shall see.... If f. 7. Dubois is elect
ed as delegate to Congress, as he, in
all probability, will be, he will not 90
as Republican, but as an anti
Mormon member, and as such, will
have influence with the admnistra
ton. He was the candidate of the
anti Mormons, and the Republicans
adopted him. 1t is true he has been
Republican, but it would have been
all the same had he been Democrat
He is all right on the only issue be-
fore the people, and that issue is the
test oath. -. The trick PLAYED bv
John HALEY and his friends of adopt
ing an anti Mormon platform was the
sharpest poin: they could make, but
it requires vast amount of credulitv
to believe in the honesty of the man |
ayers. During the past twenty wears
that they have had to think about
this matter, it is the first time they
have thought of adopting such a
course. What they did was more
the result of fear than inclination.
f. I. Dubois is the young mans can
didate for delegate. There has been
disposition to keep young men in
the background in Idaho, more OBJ
servable than in any State or Terri
tory. itremains with the yonng men
to say whether or not they will de.
mand recognition in public affairs.
One of their number is now can.
d'dato and his political fate is theirs

An Indian funeral procession in
Eastern Oregon is thus described:
"The defunct had been set upon a
horse, and stick had been dashed on
either side of his body to keep it in
an upright position. The head was
not supported in any way, and as the
horse trotted along the body seemed
bowling in every direction and the
head shaking in horribly grotesque
manner. The widow, dressed in her
mourning paint, trotted along behind
on lazy mule, to which she kept
vigorously applying the whip"

Reductions have been made in the
rate from Portland to points on the
Oregon Short Line: 70 cents per
100 pounds upon frst-class, 4S cents
on second and 25 cents on third-class
This will enable Portland to compete
more successfully for that trade than
has heretofore been the case, although
rates that were in effect prior to the
above reduction were by no means
prohbitory. A further reduction of
rates on certai: commodities is con-
templated by the o. r. & N. and
Short Line, which will probably go
into effect in few days. The coun-
try opened to Portland along the
Short Line in idaho is rapidly be-
coming very valuable, and number
OF our merchants now have a good
business in that section. = Portland

nounced declaration by any body of citizens

ARE NIAGARA FALLS RECEDING ?-"The
question of the rate of recession Of Niagara
Falls has often been discussed. In a recent
issue Of the Pittsburg Dispatch Mr.. Balou
treats the matter as popular fallacy, and
says there is no perceptible retrogression of
the falls, taking them as whole. 1t is
true that in one place-the Horseshoe-the
recession is visible. This only indicates
that the falls are swinging around Goat r.
land, and will make that truly wonderful
natural structure some day, with perpendic
ular walls and q roaring circular canon
around it. In order to reach Buffalo the
falls must displace about twenty-five cubic
miles of the hardest limestone rock-a rock
that looks as if it had actually been melted
aud poured into its place. Twenty-Five Gu
bic miles of rock would be sufficient to con-
struct oil the buildings on earth and then
rebuild them several times. The face of the
entire falls is about one mile long and about
400 feet high above and below the high
water. five accept the average wear along
the entire face of the fall at one-inch per
year we have an annual displacement at S.
600 cubic feet of rock, an amount enormous.
ly too large. At this obviously too great
annual rate of recession, the falls have been
over 100000 years in arriving at their
present position, and will require over
100000 years to get to Butialo.-Bubalo

A Woman Arrested for Embezzlement

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March ia tcIc.
gram from Spring City, gives the details of
the arrest of Mis-. Daisy Carroll, one OF the
best known ladies Of Rhea county. She was
arrested for completely in the embezzlement
Of about SO 900 from the Champion Works
of Springfield OHIO, by the confidential
bookkeeper. Frank Jones. 1t seems that the
two have been working in concert. The
woman came from Ohio, two years ago,
bought fine farm near Spring City, and
spent money lavi.hly. She was leader in
society and WA very popular and greatly
admired Jones frequently visited her,
passing as her half brother. When she
learned Of his arrest she left for Florida, but
was decoyei back by detectives. Tho
books Of the Champion Company were
found secreed i'll her ice house at Spring
City, ard other evidences of her completely
in Jones crime has been discovered. She

Mr.. WILLIS, it seems, is TO make another
effort to have the Blair educational bill
passed by the House. 1t is hoped he may
succeed, for, as the negroes, under the new
dispensation, must be educated, the nation,
which set them free, and gave them the
privilege of suffrage, and not the peo-
pie OF the South, who were i'm
poverished by their freedom, should
certainly supply the money requisite for
that purpose. The objection that the nation
would follow the money, aud State rights
thereby be interferred with, is no objection
at all now, for the Civil War and the recent
decisions of the U. S. Supreme Court have
practically dissipated the idea of State
rights, especially as that idea has now been
prostituted 10 the purposes Of population,
as has be en- the case in Virginia.

UNDER THE new rules of the Q. S. House
of Representatives, legislation is excluded
from appropriation bills. But so far from
facilitating the work of the House, such ex-
clusion seems rather to obstruct it, as the
members, being prohibited by it from max
ing political speeches on legislative amend
ments to such bills, seem to be simulated
to greater efforts in that line by the OBJ
struction, and make the naked bills the oc-
casion for letting oil the speeches they have
prepared for political effect at home; and
have done so to such an extent that the bus.
mess of the House is more behind hand now
than it has been for years. AS things are now
progressing, it is by no means improbable
that Mr.. Randall may DO able TO satisfy the
country before the close of the session that
he had good ground for his opposition to the
changed rules.

THE EIGHTH DISTRICT.

The GAZETTE has kindly given its readers
the names and location Of some Of the many
aspirants for the next House of Representa-.
tives, and other papers have given reasons
for the claims of their particular candidates
The population of a county, its tax paying
power, and the length Of time since it had q
representative in Congress, affords good
and abundant food for the voters in max
ing the selection ofdelegates, and for the dele
gates themselves where the qualifications Of
the various asprants arc about equal, and
constitute large proportion of the popula-
ton and the taxpaying power? And we
will ask when did the farmers Of this dis.
trict have one of themselves to represent
them in Congress? Echo answers when !!
Then is this not the iittest time to make an
effort to nominate and elect one. First let US
help ourselves then ask the editors to help
lis, and the lawyers, whose hands we have
so often held up, to help US and God
will help us, so that if we are but true to
our own interest we can and will win, as we
deserve the prize.
We are not advocating any individual.
We have many straight farmers who would
ulAhC nOAO ouu 10
who have served their country in her sorest
need men who have worked faithfully and
successfully in the interests of their party,
when not candidates for Office themselves !;
men whose patriotism would meet unflinch
ingly the duties and inconveniencies of mi
nor positions, when called by their people,
without requiring the "vote of every MAI,
woman and child" land the earth) in their
district. Farmers, let us be firm and true
to ourselves, and we will command the res
pect and support of all other professions.
We have laid our grievances before Congress
and have been jeered at ; made known our
wants and been refused. Must we infer that
Congress considers. agriculture lost art
and that the farmers are all dead Send
live representative to the next Congress, if
need be, with hay.seed in his hair SO that
they, with only ante election memory as to
US, may know that, although hard up, we
are still here. EQUITY.
