gave them to understand that he knew
which were the guilty ones and that he had
sufficient evidence in his possession To
convict them of frequent violations Of
the law. He tod them the peruicious
practice would have to be stopped at
once or the offenders would be prose

saue subject. immediately after the ad
journmont of the meeting the general

Tnr Australian ballot system will go
into cffeot in Massachusetts two years
hence, and it will then be sorn how much
the espionage of employers, tolerated
under existing election laws, has affected
tho votes of the workingmen. Under
this law no employer or his detective can
find out how hiS men have voted, as the
men will go into tho polling booths alone.
Each one will check off the names of the
candidates from the long roll of the
single ballot that be desires to vote for,
and he will deposit his ballot folded and
unseen by any one. The samo law, in eff
feet, was passed by the New York legi-
lature last winter and vetoed by Governor
Hill. 1t will doubtless he passed again
at the coming session at Albany, but it
is not likely to receive the gubernatorial
indorsemeut, and in all probability the
first election to be held i'll this country
under law OF this kind will be held in
Massachusetts. The charges of intiai
dation and Wholesale corruption, which
have become SO general since the elec-
tion, may lead TO the passage of similar
laws in other states in the aear future.

Idaho news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1887-1891, 1888-02-04

THE News takes pleasure IN copy
inc from one of its Tennessee ex-
changes the following tribute, to one
of Bingham county's wide-awake en-
terprising and thorough business
young men:
The friends of Jas. H. Bible in
Idaho, as well as his many warm
friends in East Tennessee, will be
glad to know that through the efforts
of Senator Isham G. Harris he has
been appointed postmaster at Poca-
tello, thriving new town The office
does about the business of the post
Office in this city, and with the early
prospect of the establishment of a
large town at Pocatello, which will
likely occur during the coming summer
the Office bids far to become valuable.
The Indians on the reservation
where Pocatello is situated have sign
ed treaty agreeing to sell / $40 acres
of land adjoining Pocatello, and the
only thing lacking is to have this rati-
fed by Congress, which Commissioner
Atkins will recommend and which
will undoubtedly become law during
the present session of Congress.
Mr.. Bible is eminently worthy of
the honors bestowed upon him by the
present administration in the two APP
pointments which he has received,
and the Banner-News knows Of no
one whom it would rather see prosper.
In regard to Senator Harris, we
have this to say: There are very few
things that he undertakes but what are
ultimately successful, and all this is
due to his ability and integrity and
the high standing he has with the adj
ministration, for none stands higher
in the counsels of his party.
