Cuur d'Alene Record Aug. 81
n recent number of the Seattle
Post Inlelligencer remarks that "lf
the newspapers of North Idaho reflect
the opinion of the people of tina,
region, certainly the panhandle
should be annexed to Washington,
as proposed by the Stewart Senate
Bill. The Lewiston Teller declares
that the citizens "seem to be more
earnest than ever in favor Of going to
Washington"
If comparisons were not odious we
might say in reference to the above
quotation that it furnishes about the
same quality of amusement that one
feels on seeing a snake swallow a
toad. There is, however, the element
of sincerity lacking in the ?. rs pre-
tense of swallowing the Teller's story.
The P. |. starts out doubsingly and
yet evidently desires to convey an
impression which if squarely stated
would impeach its Intelligence.
Surely that enterprising journal can
not be- so doubtful of the situation as
to need the shield Of ifs and even If
ifs we're needed such an one as its
editor uses casts reproach upon the
larger number of newspapers pub
lished in the "panhandle." With
out making any special claims OF
superiority for the Record we say
without fear Of disinserested contra,
dic.ion that, speaking in general
way, the intelligent voice of the
ne wspapers of North Idaho is
opposed to annexation, either to
| Washington or Montana, and those
papers most assuredly do ''rehec'
the opinions of the people of that re
gion." We do not say that this sentl'
mens is unanimous but it is nearly sc
in Shoshone, kootenai and ldaht
counties, while in Nez Perez anc
Latah counties where the scheme II
kept alive by few sore-headed poll
ticians, more as mask for persona
aims and ambitions than upon its rea
merits, we doubt if there is maj orlt,
favorable to q division of the "Gen
Of the Mountains" Here in Shoshon'
county the subject is seldom referred
to. 1t is considered as good as settled
that Idaho will remain intact and be
vond a casual endorsement of thi
view of the situation it is not likely t
be discussed in the coming campaign
The Post Intelligencer may we'll doub
the sincerity of the newspapers "hlc
still pretend that there is any consld
cradle strength for division in tn
"panhandle" taken as a whole. III
wholesale impostures psaetised oy tn
clique who are still working tn
division racket have become apparen
; to every observer and it seems llttl
. strange that the P. rs covetousnes
should 50 far outweigh its sense G
, Justice as to implicitly endorse tn
7 Lewiston Teller's misstatement
. The Teller undoubtedly fairly repre-
, sents local clique and possibly
: majority in its own immediate nelg'
borhood but, beyond that, there is n
vitality lef, in the old hobby. If tn
is news tc the Washington Territor
newspaper then its editor must
, poorly advised.

some Others several inches. A force OF

Sheridan and Grant.

New York Sun: Sheridan's personal
attachment to General Grant was al.
ways warm and devoted. and the points
of his pablo performance OF duty since
the war which have been most criticised
were those in which, as in Louisville
and Texas, be was attempting to enforce
what be believed to be the policy OF his
chief. Political life he was sincerely
averse to. and limited his activity as far
as possible to the strict performance OF
military duty. His devotion to the eoun
try was unquestioned and unquestion-
able. His patriotism was pure and sin-
cere. His great services and the roman.
tic brilllanoy of his career forbid that
his fame should be forgotten, and it is
likely TO grow only more solid and
glorious with time.

Politics in Dakota.


Faulkton, Aug. 13-The committee
men OF this legislative district, COM
prising the counties of Faux, Hand,
Potter, Wslworth and Campbell, met
here yesterday and decided upon Gettys.
burg, Potter county. as the place for
holding the Legislative convention, and
October 8 the time.
Plankinton, Aug. IA The political
pot bolls merrily now. The district con-
vention convened here on the Goth uIt.
Aurora county has chosen her delegates
and Dawson and Brule counties hold
their convention tomorrow. The woods
are not full OF candidates, yet there are
several parties here deeply interested in
the result of to-morrow's conventions.
That astute politician, @. T. Mccoy, was
here Saturday in the interest OF Phil
Skillman, of Aberdeen, the one-state
candidate for delegate to congress-. He
left Saturday morning accompanied by
B. FL. Sullivan.
Chamberlain, Aug. IA lively time
ID expected at the county convention to
be held at Pakwana tomorrow. Last

The Fisheries Treaty.

Boston Advertiser: The simple ques-
ton before the senate is whether the
Chamberlain treaty contains en- honor
able and o reasonable bargain between
the two countries. If it does, it should
certainly be ratified if it does not, it ia
not for the senators OF the United States
to be swayed by any impulse of fear,
That the treaty contains a n sided
bargain IS not merely the belief OF the
republican senators, but we are justified
in concluding, from his speech upon it
that Senator Morgan of Alabama, who
is the foremost man of his party in the
senate, would vote to reject il il he were
not acting under a political stress. II
the terms of the treaty are not what this
country can reasonably demand there is
no room for two opinions upon il. We
are not so weak nor Canada SO strong
that we are to play the part of q little
Bulgaria to her Russia.

The Colored Mems Convention.

Washington correspondent Omaha
Bee: the sequel to the colored mems
convention at Indianapolis recently was
given in the house to-day; when Phelan
OF Tennessee called up the Cherokee In.
dian claim bill. J. Milton Turner, who
minister to Liberia under President
Arthur, and who engineered the conven-
tion at Indianapolis, is the attorney for
the claimants in this bill and has @ very
large fee in il. just before the
ton wss held Turner told d western
member OF congress within my hearing
thst he was q republican and thaS he
was getting big pay for running that
convention; that he had secured the
passage of the Cherokee bill in the SEN
ate and the democrats In the house were
to pass it for running this convention.

called up the bill this afternoon. While
the CLERK was reading the measure,
MIR. Owen, q republican member
from Indisns, arose and said that he
would object to the consideration of the
measure; that he did not propose to SIS
in the house and see q bill passed to
pay the expenses OF a democratic SON
vention held by colored men in Indisna-
polls. The announcement acted as the
explosion of a bomb shell on the
democratic side of the house and a lot of
the members from that side h1cked
around the Indiana menber and begged
him 20 Withdraw the objection, but he
was obdurate and the bill was defeated.
The democrats who had promised to
carry out their part Of the compact are
greatly disappointed over the failure OF
the bill. II Turner does not get bis
money out OF the Measure he will be
unable to continue his negotiations for
a division Of the colored vote OF the
country,

HUTCHINSON COUNTY FOR GRIGsBy.

A. Sheridan Jones Gracefully SAT-
Down Upon-keppbltcans Elect their
Watertown Delegates.
Olivet, OAK, Aug. 13, 1SSS-To the
Press g. Dakotsian: The first gun in
the political battle OF Hutchinson coun-
ty was fred at Freeman last Saturday,
that being she place and slime for bold
ing the county convention to select seven
delegates to attead the republican terri
tcrial convention to be held at Water
town, August 22i.
Precinct cancuses were held n week
prior to the county convention, and it
was then noticed that the Jones element
YVES not banking very much on the re-
suit in this precinot but was very san
guine of capturing enough delegates
from the county precincts, to ensbie it,
with the help of Memo and Freeman, to
| elect the Jones crowd. But in this, as
in everything else. the mere mention of
the name OF A. Sheridan Jonee,
was enough to turn the stomachs
OF almost every man who participated Ia
the business of the convention and the
result of the first ballot showed that
| Jones received but five votes out OF
twenty-seven, the Memo delegation
bring the only one that supported him.
This we are informed wss in part pay
ment of Mr.. J's moving the Rural Voice
to Memo. Freemen, which was count
ed upons refused to endorse Jones, and
the country precincts showed themselves
competent to carry out the desires of
the people.
In payment for the attempt to saddle
Jones on to the people, the Memo pre-
cinct was left without representation
although attempts we're made to elect
j. Il. Swanton and another gentleman
whose name we cannot just o recall.
Seeing that it could do nothing but
watch the "band wagon" the Memo
party we're ~suddenly taken with the
"sulks" and voted against every man
put up.
The delegation sent to Watertown,
although u~ninstructed, are in favor of
Hon. Melvin Grigsby, of Sioux Falls,
and is composed OF the following named
gentlemen:
