Successful Hedging.

Ex-Governor Hauser, Of Mon
tana, one of the partners in the
Elkhorn mine near Ketchum, had
a narrow escape from being taken
in" sadly on the late election. He
was one of those who were winei
and dined at Delmonico's in New
York on election night by Chair
man Brice of the National Demo-
cratic Committee, says late dis
patches, Brice assuring them that
the democrats had swept the coun-
try. Hauser was feeling good; he
had contributed $4,000 to the dem
ocratic campaign fund, but had bet
another $4,000 that Cleveland
would be elected, and so he thought
that he was going to pull out even
all around, and enjoy the demo
cratic victory without cost. But
after the dinner was over and the
guests dispersed, Hauser began to
drop on it that he was left all
around, so he began to "hedge,
and claims to have bet enough on
Harrison before midnight to pull
him in ahead.

BENJAMIN HARRISON.

The President elect is staying
quietly at his home in indianapolis
these days, trying to read and an
swer his rapidly accumulating stack
of letters. Late dispatches say that
the complexion of his mail is chang
ing from congratulatory to solicit
DRY, and applications for office are
daily growing more numerous.
Among many other letters written
by General Harrison one day this
week, were forty-four in reply to
proud parents who had written to
tell him that they had named their
babies Benjamin Harrison" All
except a very few of these forty
four babies were born since the
election. Among the exceptions
were two sets of triplets, the parents
in each case naming one baby TO,
General Harrison, one for President
Cleveland, and the other for the
father. A number of Carrie Har
risons" have also been christenec
since election day.
Rumors are rife in regard to thu
coming cabinet, but nothing author

ADMISSION OF IDAHO.

Since their party victory many
of our enthusiastic republican jour-
nails are beginning to agitate the
question of the admission of Idaho
rs State; going even SO far as
suggesting to the members of the
observation-disclosures they have re-
ceived their certificates of election
that they be prepared with bills
in their pockets for the passage OF
a law providing for the formation
of constitution and state govern
ment to be submitted to the people
for their ratification or rejection
some time next summer.
This seems like taking time by
the forelock" in too much haste.
Such proposition could only
have originated in the brain OF
some visionary contemporary who
seeks to curry the favor and tickle
the fancy of a few aspiring politi-
clans, would-be United States Sena-
tors, Congressman, state officers, etc.
Idaho should be content with the
territorial garments she now wears,
and her people are not willing to
cast them aside and be subjected to
increased taxation for the prema-
ture honors of being invested in the
habiliments of statehood.
Our population is increasing, our
people are prosperous and gradu,
ally preparing the way under ter
ritorial form Of government for ar
irving at that position where they
can consistently ask to be placed
among the constellation of states
Until that position is reached they
are content to "bide the time" in
patience, and have no desire to be
classed, like our envious neighbor
as premature BIRTH" or receive
the cognomen of "a rotten borough
The territory is gradually but
surely gaining year by year all the
material elements which are neces
sary to build state upon a strong
and substantial foundation. AL
that she asks is to be protected
from encroachments on the north
and from greedy, grasping fllibus
tiers on the south.

REVIEW OF TRADE.

r. G. Dunn & Co., of New York,
in their weekly review of trade,
say:
The election has so far interrupted
business during the past week that most
comparisons with the corresponding week
last year are misleading. Nevertheless,
the volume of Legitimate business has
been wonderfully we'll maintained during
the past week as during the whole polit
ical campaign, so that the presidential
campaign of 1883 goes into history as
having disturbed current trade less than
any previous contest, although it turned
largely upon industrial and commercial
questions, and was generally considered
doubtful to the very end. Aud this is the
more remarkable, because, in the months
preceding those of political excitement
speculation had been unusually active
and extravagant. With the decision OF
the people there has come more conf
dent tone in many branches of business
and larger trade with improving prices
is usually anticipated as a result of thu
postponement OF very many operation.

The Wardner News speaks in the
following emphatic language in re-
gard to the opinion of the people
in that section of Idaho on the an

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

1t is proper at this time to men,
ton one thing which deeply con.
Germs the people of Custer and
Alturas counties, and appeals ur-
gently and reasonably to the notice
of their respective delegations to
the territorial legislature. We refer
to the incomplete and imperfect
boundaries of the former county,
and the consequent abomination to
the people of Seafoam and Sheep
Mountain districts recently brought
into prominence, in not knowing
where they are geographically, or
to whom they belong. 1t is we'll
known that Idaho county claims
the orphan district, and 1t is equally
as we'll known that every man In
that section firmly believes that it
does, and sincerely thinks it should
belong to Custer county, which also
makes claim. Thus far the miners
have recognized the authority OF
Custer county only, and there they
have recorded their claims, con-
Quoted their suits, paid their taxes,
etc. The situation is such, how
ever, that immediate action should
be taken by the legislature for the
adjustment of boundaries affecting
the new district 1t would be a
great deal more satisfactory to those
people to KNOW what they believe
and to identify the boundaries OF
the county in which they live with
actual geographical features of the
country. 1t is claimed by old res,
idents of that portion of Idaho that
the original act creating Custer
county left in utter uncertainty the
western boundary from what is
known as Cape Horn Cabin" to
its present point of intersection
with that of Lemhi county. The bill
spoke of mountain ranges and wa
ter courses that really do not exist
Vain endeavors have been made tt
trace the line between Custer ano
Idaho counties over the ground &C
cording to that act, and to remedy
the matter bill was Introduced IL
the legislature two years ago which
proposed a boundary line through
the disputed ground in strict &C
cord with the geography OF thu
country and in reasonable conces
sion to the claims of both counties
The proposed line run from Cape
Horn Cabin" down Cape Horn
creek to the Middle Fork of TIN
Salmon; down the latter to thu
outlet of Loon creek and up Lool
creek to the Lemhi line. Thi:
would have given the Seatoam anc
Sheep mountain districts to Custe
county instead of Idaho county
from which they are barred by i'm
passable mountain barriers. Tn
bill passed both houses 10 be vetoe,
by the governor on the strength o
petitions from Idaho county de
ploring the prospects of losing som
of their rich mineral possessions.
In reality they had no more claim
than Custer county. 1t now re
mains for the legislature to settl
this question. The demand for sue
settlement is imperative and come
with united energy from the cit
zens of the new mining district.

SMALL bands of anarchists, it is
said, are beginning to assemble
again in Chicago. A violent element
seems to predominant. Speeches
are being made declaring the ballot
a failure, and advocating the use
of force to gain their rights. One
of the speakers said a revolution
must come soon and he urged
speeding it. These fellows better
take warning in their utterances
about revolution, and bear in mind
the fate that befell some of their
stripe in Chicago about a year ago.

SAN FRANCISCO had quite shak-
ing up last Sunday afternoon by
the sharpest shock of earthquake
felt since 1871. It lasted eight
seconds. The motion was from
northwest to southeast, and it was
succeeded by low, rumbling sounds.
In the upper stories of high build
ings the sensation was as though
they were being twisted sharply
part around and then back. Many
persons were badly frightened, but
no serious injuries are reported, SO
it is safe to believe that it was not
anything to compare with the earth
quake of 1871 after all. The shock
was felt about equally strong across
the bay in Oakland, and Berkeley.
Prof. Soule, of the Berkeley observ-
atory, advances the theory that the
late severe rains have probably
broken away some underlying strata
of the earth, causing the shock.
