CAPITAL LETTER.
BoIkE CRY, Dec. 10. 1899

4 ne cait Lake IrIb-
une devotes over one column on the
editorial page in analyzing and dis
secting the Annual Report Of our
Governor, and is followed by 4 com
munication in the Idaho Statesman
over the signature Of the ex- Control.
or, Jos. Perrault, which adds insult 10
injury BY the discourteous and nm.
gentIemanly language used. There
is no use in using the terms aassas-
sin" arrogance" and ignorance, in
connection with the official acts of
Gov. Stevenson. He is entitled n
credit and honor for the part he took
TO preserve our identity as the Terri
tory of Idaho intact. AcknowIedo-
ment was made of the assistance rem
dered to our worthy and indefatiga-
bic Delegate, Hon. F. T. Dubois. in
public, at the ratification meeting
held in Boise on the 14th of Nov. Il
is quite surprising that grandfather
Kelly would permit such an attack to
be made through his family organ in
order to bring into public notice one
OF the members of the Statesman's
syndicate. The course of abusing a
good citizen and pioneer on account
of his early education being neglect
ed, is un-American, and not in accor-
dance with the Fundamental princi-
pies of our institutions. The haley
on days OF the Governors youth were
spent in blazing the mountain trails
and developing the internal resources
OF our Territory, and as such he is en-
titled to consideration. 1t is pretty
hard, if we are misinformed and make
mistakes, to have Johnny Come Late
lies, or perhaps a born subject of
Queen Victoria come from Canada
and tell us through a respectable
newspaper how benighted our minds
are. "Those who live in glass houses
should never throw stones.n | never
believe in Furnishing an enemy after
he has surrendered. The Free Trad
ers have given up the ghost. Dis
turb them not, but let 'em rest. We
will correct the mistakes made by the
great Mugwumps and their followers.
The Solons are all here, and their
friends. The great organizers of the
Territory are on hand, getting in
their work in good shape, and put
ting up the pins for nine strike.
The counties are the main stake to
work for. Alturas has two columns
in the field for and against division.
The army of seekers for sixty days
job is innumerable, and their name is
legion. Only sixteen candidates for
Doorkeeper. Jack Campbell, of Al
turas, claims enough to get away
with the cake. w. A. Goulder SAYS
he will take cake, bake shop and de-
livery wagon. Boise county's favor
ite son is looming up in fine shape,
and will, perhaps ere the session is
DER, capture the affections of some
fair, fat and forty year-old maid of
the capital city. In fact Fred is
twenty years younger since election.
The smile that he wears on his gent
al countenance would captivate the
good will of any sour old maid in the
Panhandle, where they look into a
pan of sweet milk and it turns to
clabber instantly. Reason-lack of
fruit.
1t will be necessary to call the at
tention of lawmakers to county
boundaries, and determine what coun-
ty we live in, and remedy the loose
manner in which the road tax is ham
died. 1t is a lasting disgrace and
shame to the county of Ada that the
public roads are in the condition they
are. The road down the valley is
nothing but mud and chuck holes al
most the entire distance to Caldwell.
1t seems as though all that is requir-
ed is little labor; but that is out OF
the question for Road Supervisor IN
| Idaho. But what becomes OF the
money collected for road tax.
Fearing this a little too long, |
cease firing and give way to more
able munitions of criticism. $50
