Art of Conversation.
Rules Suggested as Guides when Conversins
I'm Company.

Rules Suggested as Guldes when COuVersing
in Company.
1t has been said, and general expert
ence, unfortunately, proves its truth,
that the art of conversation is a thing
of the past. Of "talk," that hap haz-
ard, hit-or-miss interchange of ideas on
trivial subjects, with too often an utter
ignoring of the common rules of polite
ness, there Is more than Il plenty !; but
of the refined, sustained conversation
of the salons of an earlier generation,
there is a lamentable scarcity. At a
recent discussion of the subject, several
rules were suggested Il IS guides to be
observed in conversation, which are SO
simple and sensible that those who aim
to excel in this line of entertainment
would do we'll to remember them:
Talk as little as possible about your
self; be careful not to monopolize the
talk aim at leading others to talk and
not at talking yourself; never fatty
contradict :; do not allow IA lengthy
pause to occur; do not talk a subject
to- death, but leave something to be
said and do not jerk from subject to
subject, but lead easily from one topic
to another. To these might we'll be
added, never descend to gossip, don't
ride your hobbies in company, and re-
member that to listen gracefully is
quite as desirable an accomplishment
as to we'll. : Demorest's

Baton Rouge Truth: Senator Phipps,
of Claiborne, won the especial good
will of the people of Baton Rouge by
introducing Monday a joint resolution
providing for the removal of the blind
from the Blind Institute to the Deaf
and Dumb Institute which is large
enough to hold a half dozen such insti-
tutioDs. The object is to fit out the
handsome and eligibly situated Blind
Institute as a governors mansion.
This has been one of our favorite ideas
since the cadets were moved to the
United States Barracks, and is one
that comedies with the natural fitness
of things. A governors mansion would
be thus provided at Insignificant cost
to the State, admirably located within
easy reach of the capitol. There would
be no crowding at the Deaf and Dumb
Institute, and the State would be saved
from this time forward the rent annual.
ly appropriated for the governors resi-
dence. The resolution was referred to
the judiciary committee to be reported
on, we hope favorably.

THAT "INFAMOUS LIE"

Last Thursday the TINES stated
that Register Billings, of the United
States Land Office, had offered to
trade the entire Democratic ticket
(not even excepting tho head of it)
for a vote for Kinney. The hireling
said that that was tau infamous lie"
Had he contented himself with a
simple denial we might have over
looked the fellows duplicity. But as
he has used such ungentlemanly Ian.
guage the TINES rei.erates its charge,
AND STANDS READY TO
PROVE lT!!!
Furthermore we are credibly in.
formed that the Kinney combination
is k"i6ng John N. Cannady. We do
not object to this. In fact, we rather
like it, as it will simply result in
neither OF them being elected. And
the county will sc. two new officials
who will do their duty-their whole
duty-by their constituents. But
the Democrats who are bowling for
"Kinney and Csnnady" may ~ we'll
know how they are sure Of being de.
feated.

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LOST.

The taxpayers do not appreciate the
loss which Sheriff Kinney has caused
them by neglecting to collect licenses.
If they did they would with one voice
demand that he be taken off the ticket.
An instance will illustrates: T. E.
CIohecy kept bank in Ketchum
through all of 1887 and part Of 1888.
His license was $50 per quarter, or
$3.50 for six quarters. HE DID NOT
PAY ONE CENT! Adding interest
for two years to the principal, this less
to the county aud taxpayers Elk.
CEEDS TWO. HUNDRED DOL
LARS! And there are dozens of
cases OF failure to collect the licenses.
The loss from this source alone
therefore amounts to several thousand
dollars.
And upon whom does this loss fall?
Upon every man who pays cents
worth OF road, personal or real proper
ty tax.

for this. They have endeavored to

LISTEN TO But Do NOT VOTE FOB
Hin.

James Fl. Hawley, the Democratic
candidate for Congress, is on Wood
River, and he will be here on the day
of election. He will speak in the
Haley Theater next Monday evening.
He should be listened to attentively.
At this late day in the campaign,
We do not believe it possible for him
to say anything that could win him
votes. But Democrats and Republic
cans alike should hear what he has to
say on the two leading issues of this
campaign, to- wit: Mormonism aud
the Mills bill.
On the Mormon issue Mr.. Hawley
will be confronted by the fact that
the Mormons arc registering, despite
the decisions of Judges Berry and
Weir. H. will be confronted by the
fact that his appointee, Deputy
United States District Attorney J.
Ed. Smith, has had the most promi-
nent Gen,iles arrested to prevent
them from interfering with the Nor.
mons who are perjuring thems ,lv' s.
lie will also be confronted by the
fact that the Mormons only affiliate
with the Democrats, aud that they
will not affiliate with the Republicans.
We purposely state it in this way, al.
though we know that the Republi.
cans DO not wish them to affiliate with
them. Oil and water cannot mix.
A. to the Mills bill, he simply can say
netting in its favor, As its adoption
would i"aict . direct and fatal blow
Hpon our lead. wool-growing, and
otheg industries. This bill was in
iorsed by the St. Louis platform,
which WAS in turn indorsed by the
platform Of the Idaho Democracy.
II the above is true (ani we do not
helieye Mr.. Hawley will deny it. be-.
cause every reader Of the TIMES
knows that every word is as true as
Gospel Mr.. Hsw'ey is dramatically
opposed to our interests, and he
shoulJ not be elected.

tention to him, the TIMES sometimes
condescends to point out few of the
more fragrant mistakes Of the eyre
gious ass who spolls SO much good
"patent inside" paper by daubing the

And here is one of the FOOLS blum.
ders. 1t can be found in his issue OF
November 3.
In the second column, fourth page,
he says, after lying about the Repub-
l,can County Central Committee, as
usual: =.
The Democrats report money on
hand; that the candidates have all
put up-sone late, but up, just the
same, not a precinct candidate will
be approached for funds, and every bill
will be paid.
In the third column, same page, he
says:
Bellevue Democracy should assis
in the Hawley meeting tonight. The
several candidates are working zeal
ously for their cause; they have ont
and all done their share, and shoulG
local Democrats be called upon to da,

is out of funds. OF course it is! 1t
has not bad a cent for two weeks.

VOTE FeR KNOWN ANTI.MURuoNs,

While the whele ticket should b
carefully looked after, special care
should be given to the candidates for
the Legislature on the Republican
ticket. They stand sduarely upon
the platform, and are unalterably op.
posed to the repeal Of the Test Oath
law.
!. Notwithstanding the fact that the
Democratic candidates pretend to be,
or allege themselves to b., opposed to
any interference with that anti Nor.
mon law, their Territorial platform
and the antecedents OF their party in
Idaho demonstrates that they cannot
be relied on on this question, as a
party. True, many Democrats are
bitterly opposed to Mormonism, but
they are invariably found voting for
the Republican candidates, because
they know that they can be relied on.

over your ballots, be sure that you do
