WORSE THAN ..srAn oHAmsEn..

VIA
Speaking of Star Chamber and dark
lantern proceedings reminds us of a lit.
tie scheme now on foot by the Republi-
cans of this city who are bowling them
selves hoarse for popular representa-
ton" which is more subyersive Of that
principle than anything yet attempted in
Montana. 1t is no wonder that the meet
ing Of the city committee night before
last was as a sealed book to the repor-
torial inquisition. 1t was necessary that
1t should first be submitted to the powers
behind the throne. When the record had
been made up it was submitted to the
organ for PRONUNCIATION and the follow
ing found its way into our esteemed
evening contemporaries columns:
On motion it was decided to hold the pri.
maries on Wednesday, May 8, from 6:3Oto
D p. m. for the election OF eight delegates
and eight a~lternates from each ward to the
Republican city convention. Polling places
and judges were selected subject to further
action OF the committees. The convention
will be held at Renshaw Hall on the 18th OF
May, at IL O'Clock noon.
The above may appear regular on its |
face without recurring to the rules
adopted at the last Republican city con-
vention, which were to hold good until
changed, until some subsequent c~onven-l
tion should see fit to amend them. Here
is an interesting and instructive clause
Of those rules:
The date OF holding the city Republican
primaries shall be fixed by the city central
and shall be held al least six
days prior to the date OF the city conyen-
We feel safe in assuming that this quo-
sation is correct, as it is taken from the
lies of the Inter Mountain, through
which the official proceedings of the city
were promulgated. Mark the

DUBOIS, DELUsIoN.

Delegate Dubois of Idaho, rarely evel
gets action in the interest Of his constit-
uents. If he would work more and tall
lesshe might be something more than {
mere walking delegate. His one alb
sorbing idea is to do the bidding Of
the Boise ring which would have the
Territory remain intact. Segregation
and annexation of the Panhandle te
either Montana or Washington is his
nightmare. His latest break is in letter
writing to a Ceur d'Alene constituent
wherein he is inspired by his impulses
and desires to say:
1.-THE chances for Idaho coming in as a
State with the balance after the next
Presidential election are good. If we cast
a large rote next fall and elect a Republi
can President / will have no doubt about
her admission before the expiration OF hi.
term, and all signs point to the election oil
d Republican President.
The idea that Idaho will come into
the union with Montana, Washington
and Dakota, is one Of the decisions that
Mr.. Dubois would not have dispelIed,
but one which he must know is inn
practicable. Idaho, on a whole, has not
the necessary population nor resources
to entitle her to be considered as a can
didate for Statehood with such Terri
tories as we have named above. And it
is a foolish fallacy for Mr.. Dubois to en-
terrain the idea, if he really does. There
is a coterie Of political hacks who hover
about the Territorial capital and who
hold out the delusive hopes to the people
of the Panhandle that if they will rally
at the ensuing election and poll a heavy
vote, a Republican may be elected
President, and Statehood within the
term of the elect, be an assured thing. 1t
was from these and not at Washington
where MIR. Dubois got this pointer. Now,
this is base deception and designed to
keep the C9ur d. Alene country in the
Territorial limits that the Boise ring
may levy tribute on them. 1t is the
taxes of these four Northern counties
that the Boise gang want without being
able to give the people there any ade-
eRp8tar Tesdn only be reached BY a rough
and round about journey, and there isno
natural bond between the two sections.
Besides, the Southern section of the Ter
ritOry is oyerrun with Mormons. and
there is no common bond of unity be-
tween the people Of the two sections.
What the people of the panhandle want
Is the benefits which Statehood alone can
confer. This would remove them from the
condition of a Territorial satrapy. But
there is no hope Of home rule for these
people so long as they allow themselves
% yield to the allurements of Delegate
Dubois, who has only personal and poll
zeal ends to subserve for himself and his !
associates. While he holds out. false |
lopes OF the election of a Republican
President and Statehood within the term,
he people of the Panhandle should be
,estiring themselves to seek some ALI
nee where early Statehood may be rea-
onably sure in the early future. This
question of alliance should be left to the
vote and Montana would abide
