Brother Against Brother.

A horrible duel between the
Hutchinson brothers took place at
Blackfoot, Idaho, last Sunday after
noon. A feud has existed between
the two brothers John and James,
for some time. James had threat
ened to shoot John on sight, and
that afternoon they met in a bill
lard hall. Both pulled their re-
volvers and began firing simultan-
eously. Four shots were exchang-
ed and John turned and run down
the street, the blood streaming
from wound in the side of his
neck. James fell to the floor on
his face while the blood streamed
out of a CHASTITY wound in his right
temple. The ball came out at the
base of the brain which oozed out
through the hole made. His death
was instantaneous. The brothers
formerly lived in Utah, and it il
said their parents still reside there
At the examination the testimony
warranted the release of John and
he was accordingly set free.

The ElmOre Division Ticket.

The Gilmore county division tick
ct in Alturas county polled about
450 votes. Only one of the ticket
john Van Shaack-who was in
dorsed by the republicans, was
elected. The Mountain Home Bull
letin says:
The people of Elmore should now
begin plans to create Gilmore county
this winter. John Van will lead
the procession at Boise and Bailey
of Caldwell, will be the first to fox
low in the cause of justice to an OPP
pressed people-then will drop into
line representatives from nearly
every county in the Territory.

Two Prosperous Territories.

Eugene Semple, Governor OF
Washington Territory, in his an
nual report estimes the population
of the Territory at 167,OS2, an in
crease of about 24.O0O during the
year. The taxable property is
given as $S4,621,1S2.
Preston HI. Leslie, Governor OF
Montana, in his annual report esti-
mates the population of the Terri
tory at 10000, an increase of TO-
600 over his estimate last year. Oh
the financial condition of the Terri
tory the report says that Montana
enjoys the enviable distinction Of
being entirely free from debt, owing
not dollar, with plenty of money
in the treasury.
AS for Idaho's population, Gov
Stevenson is content with the 1OO,.
600 which he credited to her last
year.

To the YictOrs Belong the Spells.

If the declarations of the repub-
lican platform in regard to Terri
torial appointments are adhered to
by the coming ADMINISTRATION, there
will be some lively scrambling by
the patriotic republicans of Idaho
for positions which have, under
former administrations, been award
ed to the needy or dangerous politi-
clans in the Estates"
Commencing with the Governor
there are no less than a dozen Off
ces, exclusive of the Land offices,
the pay of which will RIM from
81 800 to SIS, 1000 each, which will be
charged upon Immediately after
Harrison's Inauguration. What a
feast for the hungry horde who for
the past four years have been max
ing a hand to mouth campaign!
And four land offices worth u.s.
600 each, will 60 o long ways to-
wards making eight republican
hearts beat unanimously Who
will get the reward? The men who
have fought the party's battles and
won its victories. The man who
was in for "principle and right" q
month ago is the spokesman of to-
day. This the way of the politi'
clan. Twas ever thus.
"To the victors belong the spoils,
is saying that has precedent in
the acts Of every administration
since the formation of our govern
ment; let the victorious Idaho re
publicans bear off the "spoils" O
their own Territory.

As will be seen the vote on COM
missioner in the second district is
a tie. This necessitates a new
election for that office. When there
is tie between any two candidates,
it becomes the duty of the clerk of
the board to so inform the sheriff,
who shall order a new election,
after having given ten days notice.
The sheriff has not as yet given
notice when the election will be,
but will, we presume, soon do SO.
The second district comprises the
following precincts: Caldwell,
Lower Boise, Middleton, Union,
Pomeroy, Green Meadow, Nampa
and Kuna.

Alden's Literary Cyciopedla.

The eleventh volume of Alden's
Cyclopedia of Universal Literature
well sustains the very high reputa-
ton the work has secured. Among
the eminent authors of all ages and
all nations represented in this vol
ume are: William Henry Herbert
American naturalist and novelist;
Herder, German poet; Herodotus,
Greek historian; James Hogg, the
Scottish "Ettrick Shepherd" Hol-
berg, Danish dramatist; Oliver
Wendell Holmes, American poet
and novelist; Houssaye, French
essayist, etc. These names simply
illustrate the comprehensive char
acter and popular interest of the
work, and are but a few of the
names :ncluded-for instance, be-
sides these, Homer occupies over 80
pages, Thomas Hood, Is pages, W.
D. Howells, 10 pages, etc. The
work is a veritable mine of literary
riches, and there are very few pub
lished so we'll worthy of place in
every home library. The price, SO
marvelously low, places it within
popular reach-50 cents a volume
for cloth binding, 60 cents for half
morocco; postage 10c. A speci-
men volume may be ordered and
returned if not wanted. John B.

The Elections.

1t is now positively determined
that Harrison and Morton will have
233 electoral votes, and Cleveland
and Thurman 1853. The six votes
of West Virginia are in doubt. In
diana gives Harrison plurality of
$500; New York upwards of 49,
600. The only northern states
which give Cleveland plurality
are Connecticut and New Jersey.
In fact the whole result is one of
pluralities: Harrison does not
carry a single doubtful state by a
majority. A change. of 5000 votes
in New York and 1900 in Indiana,
would have changed the result
completely. When it is remem-
bered that New York casts over t.
100000 votes and Indiana 100000,
the Harrison Cyclone" OF to-
day bears striking resem-
blance to the "Cleveland Acct
dent" of four years ago. When
it comes to admitting that "Pro-
lection of American labor" depends
upon a very small proportion of
the voters Of the States of New
York and Indiana, the absurdity of
the whole tariff bugaboo becomes
apparent.
The republicans claim the Fifty
First Congress by from three to
seven majority.
In Idaho there is nothing new to
state. Dubois will have at least
1900 majority.

Christian Seearateness.

Under the above caption the
Richmond Religious Herald makes
the following statement, the fitness
of which is patent to any close OBJ
server of the trend of modern
christianity;
"We lay the fattering JUNCTION to our
hearts that because the world is SO
much better, there is no reason why
there should be any difference be-
tween Gods people and the world,
Christian men and women thor
oughly practice the ways of the
world as to life, pleasure, desire,
and morality in business. They
think that it is doing an honor to
religion by liberalizing it and put,
ting it on a worldly footing; that
they help religion by being as pop
ular in society as possible, Thus
the aggressive power of Christian
ity is checked. why are so few
from the world joining the church,
was asked the other day. Because
so many from the church are join
ing the world was the answer,
Our power is in our separateness
from the world. not our utilization
with it. We cannot carry the con-
viction of religion to the world by
standing on the worlds own level
and asking appreciation of it. When
the salt loses its sadness, it is good
for nothing. The power of religion
in the world is a life separated un-
to God by its free Instincts"

ANOTHER RAILROAD FOR HEN.
DERSON.
The Atlantic, Henderson & Virginia
Railroad an Assured Thing.

The GOLD LEAF. has long desired to see
some steps taken looking to the building of
a railroad Southwark through Nash county
and on toward the sea cost. 1t was sorry
when Henderson lost the read to Louis
burg, because in that we saw prospect of
its going further and giving us another
outlet, aid connection with the Atlantic
Coast Line, thing deyoutly to bewished
for our town. However, our last chance
Was not lost there, nor was our only hope
dispelled by the gloom>of doubt. The last
legislature of North Carolina granted a
Chatter to the Atlantic, Henderson & Nir-
ginia railroad company, to run line of
railway from Henderson 10 the sea coast
and then on to some point on the Virginia
line. The company has been organized
with all the privileges granted under said
charter, the capital stock subscribed and
FIVE per cent. of the amount paid in. This
looks like business.
The officers are all gentlemen Of means
and recognized ability as successful bust
ness men, as appears from the following
! They are: President, Col. VIM. Ii. 5. Bur
gwyn Nice-president. Samuel Watkins,

Col. Burgwyn, Samuel Watkins and J. r
Young were elected an executive commit
tee to examine into aud report at the next
meeting of the Board of Directors upon the
most desirable point at which to tap the
Coast Line system and also to receive
purposals for building the road
| The GOLD LEAF learns That already two
different parties are anxious to build the
road and it is possible that work will be
begun at an early day. While this is a
henderson enterprise, to be built in the
interest Of henderson and Vance county,
and ofticered by home men, outside capital
is interested in the scheme, and there is no
lack of money behind it. We repeat, that
this road would be an important one for
Henderson. 1t would not only put US in
closer proximity to the yellow tobacco sec
