Let the Good Work Continue.

Having sold out my Spectacle business
here to Messrs. Hill Bros, they will con-
tinue to sell the same lines heretofore sold
by mo, viz: The Johnston Optical Co.'s
goods and the Wilson Spec. I take pleas
ure in recommending these goods as the
best, and can say that the prices are lower
than can be had in any Of the cities on
the same. As to the gentlemen themselves
they are too well and favorably known to
require any recommendation. You know
they will treat you right.

Mr.. EDITOR: No honest candidate wish
es to deceive his fellow-citizens. No honest
citizen with an elective franchise, for the
right use of which he is morally response
BILE, wishes to be deceived. These two
statements set forth a condition of affairs
that may be pro6tably considered. In Or
der to vote intelligently the citizen needs to
know the character and purpose, as accu-
rately as is possible, of the candidate. This
appears, since the candidate is the prospec-
tive representative of the voter: and, that
being the case, the voter is mcasurably re-
sponsible for the representative acts of the
candidate whom he elects.
/. Now, there arc cartain facts, knowl-
edge of which enables the voter to form a.
pretty fair estimate Of the real character
and solid worth of candidate; and no
worthy candidate will deny to the man
whose suffrage he seeks the benefit of these
facts.
2. The attitude the candidate sustains TO
the leading issues of the day are vital facts
of which the voter cannot afford to be ig-
norant. Moreover, the candidate who
would intentially deceive the most illite-
rate voter on this subject is an unprinci-
pied man.
In order, therefore, to facilitate the &C.
QUESTION of this information, so important
to the cause of truth and duty, let the fol-
lowing and OTHER pertinent questions be cate
gorically answered by each candidate
through the columns of our County papers
at once. 1t may also be taken for granted
that any candidate who is unwilling to
comply with the request herein made is
either morbidly modest, or else is ashamed
of his record. In either case the public
will do well to beware.
FOR ALL CANDIDATES.
What is your age and occupation? How
long have you been engaged in your pres
ent occupation l Where were you born
and raised? What educational advantages
have you enjoyed (? Are you member OF
some Church, (no mention Of the denomi-
nation is desired)? Do you use intoxica-
ting liquors, except in case of necessity !?
Do you use profane language? Is your
general health good? Have you lost any
limbs? If 80, in what way? At what
figures are you rated on the Recorders
books?

CHINESE MINERS.

Last summer about forty Cinnamon
came up from Lewiston and started for
the Wire bridge, where they built skiffs
and voyaged up the Salmon on pros
pecting trip. After first sending supplies
ahead they wintered above Salmon city
where they found good diggings which
pay from half to one ounce day to the
hand. A China pack-train left Mt.
Idaho, for the camp last week, going by
way of Elk city, Red river meadows,
and then 40 miles of the Nez Perce trail
to the little Salmon where they branch
off to the main stream. The Chinese
hereabouts are very reticent about the
diggings and the exact location is sed-
ulously guarded by them but we CLEAN
this from authentic sources.

MUCH ALARMED.

Much anxiety and alarm was created
in our midst last week by report
relative to the family of Mr.. Geo.
shearer. who are living at the ferry on
Salmon river. Willie Shuck in COM
pany with John Hadoon while crossing
the river below, saw what they sup
posed to be the body of child tossing
down the current, unable to rescue it,
thew raised an alarm the news OF which
reached our friend George who was
attending to business in Grangeyille'
waiting for the arrival of his
expressman who was behind time,
excited by the double event he hastily
left for home accompanied by DR.. Kirk
wood, on their return we learned that
the family were we'll, and had been in
no danger. The ferry boat had beer
sunk, causing the delay of the express
which had to go above and cross ths
wire bridge. while detached bundle
from the back of a drowned pack-hors'
to which was lashed small pair o
boots, was undoubtedly the object see'
floating down the river,

and other indications of culture and re-
finement that is greatly extending It's
borders and helping its influences. De

SUMNER DYLLS.

This is the season of the year when

on the morning of publication day the
subscribers pick up the paper and utter
bad words about the editor because
there is not more news in it. So it is

POLITICAL SCHEMERS.

The people of Idaho territory must
watch with diligence the red'handed
nincompoops who seek to assail every
honest man that does not take kindly to
their concocted plans to thwart the will
OF the people. The so-called anti Nor
mon republican leaders are STOPPING to
every unscrupulous act to seat them
selves in office, and where set of such
men combine for the purpose of plumber
it necessarily behooves the toiling voters
and Taxpayers to unite against it. The
time has arrived and you must decide
upon one or two things-to be robbed
outright by a set of starving petitioners
or receive just legislation at the hands
of the democratic party. This so-called
anti. Mormon element was first organ
lied by faction of the republican party
at their central committee meeting at
Shoshone last summer, and during its
hilarity some of its most enthusiastic
members publicly boosted of their in
tention to kill off q certain element OF
the republican party and at the same
time do up the democratic party in
Idaho. Can there be any good derived
from such fragrant mob of ruffians
Certainly not. We see them daily
striving to carry their threats into ex-
ecution. A confirmed bum and motor
ious tramp printer have been selected
to do the dirty work, but the sensible
thinking people of the territory are
beginning to open their eyes at the self
constituted frauds and rinstgers.-Cassi'

PERSONAL JOURNALISM.

The Washington Independent OF July
%, in a labored article Of one and half
columns tries, to show up the character
of our kinsman in an unenviable light.
The writer claims to have made him
and provided all the blessings that he
doth now enjoy twits him with his
shortcomings, metaphorically lays him
across his maternal knee and soundiy
spanks him, then to make him
thoroughly ashamed of himself-pro-
cures a picture of a well developed ass,
puts his name under it and shows it to
. few neighbors who take his paper and
the Col. is f1ippantly dismissed for the
present. This may be the correct thing
but We doubt it. progressive journalism
is leaving this form of censure far
behind. Personal abuse never helped
a man to do better. and he gains SYM
patty thereby, the public invariably
coming to his rescue. We congratulate
the Independent writer on his apt illus
tration for Col. F. ]. Parker but he had
forgotten some of the latent qualities Of
that noble animal. He is vigorous
patient. and above all good kicker
mark it, we shall hear from the Colonel
