AS A NATION.
y. L. Tribune.

.. IL. lrlDune.
AS one looks over our country and
thinks what it has had to contend
with, the wonder is that it still exists.
The ruling traits of Americans are
energy, generosity, lack of suspicion
and such absorption to anything in
hand as not to notice very closely
what others are doing, and with such
confidence in fighting their own bat
ties that they do not care much what
others do if they do not tread directly
on their corns. With such race on
the soil, for hundred years there has
been pouring in upon the land host
from beyond the sea, and with that
host have been mingled all forms of
criminals, all phases of perverted
minds, and these have had full play
to work out their deviltry in every
conceivable way. The wonder is that
chaos has not come before this. But
the American has held his own and
has met every trial and triumphed
over it. When men strike, when an
archists raise their assassin flag, when
criminals are arraigned charged with
any of the baser crimes, in almost
every case they are foreign born men.
But when few years ago mighty
rebellion broke upon the land, when
it was life and death struggle, on
both sides, the men that went under
the shadow of death to wrestle for
victory were well nigh all native born
On the Northern side SO per cent
were native born, on the South side
we presume the proportion was quite
as great. Of the men who made uI
the real fighting forces, the proportion
of native born was still greater
When one reads the names of arrested
Anarchists the names are all foreign
When the lists of the dead in the
great war were telegraphed back
they were almost invariably Ameri
can. They have not only held thei1
own, but of the hosts of criminals and
depraved souls that have come to us
mighty proportion have been saved
in the first generation. The children
of the hopelessly perverted have, il
a majority of cases, been good mel
and women. The humanizing inhu
ences of our country have been some
thing wonderful. Men who hav'
come with dark and evil thought
have had their evils spirits exercised
by the hopes that have stolen int
their hearts and painted winsome pic
lures on the before bare walls of thei
souls.

The idea of a nation with the
wealth and mechanical skill of the
United States having to go abroad
for its guns for warfare is ridiculous.
Sporting arms, equal in workmanship
to any manufactured in the world, are
made in this country, and there is no
reason why the heavier ordnance
should not also be made here. There
is bill pending before Congress to
appropriate ten millions a year fol-
this purpose. If the bill passes, ii
will open an extensive field to Amer
lean OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
Hardware.

Dubois and Hawley.
Salt Lake Trfbuua

Hon. Fred Dubois seems to be
making lively canvass. 1t opened
with the Boise meeting, and he has
since been speaking every night. The
Mountain Home Bulletin says of him:
Fred Dubois has returned to Ida.
no and will speak in Boise tonight
MIR. Dubois had better have remained
IN Washington and saved bis wind.
Jim Hawley's election is as sure as
that the sun will set on the 9Th of
November.
Now if that is certainly true, then
it seems the miners and farmers of
Idaho have no appreciation Of honest
and capable work in their behalf.
The successful efforts Of Mr.. Dubois
to extend the mail facilities of the
Territory do not count as anything
to them. The successful fight against
the disintegration of their Territory
does not seem to awake one emotion
OF gratitude. The opening of the
Fort Hall reservation does not appeal
to their favor; the splendid showing
made why Congress should assist to
reclaim the rich, but at present barren
lands of their Territory, must have
passed them by unnoticed. In other
words, if the above squib be true,
the majority that two years ago gave
MIR. Dubois vote of confidence, are
gong to withhold it from him this
year, because of his faithful work.
Is that what the Bulletin really
means, or does it mean merely that
the intention is to evade and ignore
the most sacred statute of their Terri
tory and to elect Mr.. Hawley through
the votes of aliens and perjurers?
We suspect this last is the real in
tention. What say the men of Idaho
to it?

STATESMAN: Delegate Dubois left
Weiser to-day for Moscow, the coun-
ty seat of Latah county. He has
started to fulfill his promise, made in
his speech last Saturday evening, that
he would go to the annexation coun-
ties and proclaim his views on segre-
cation, just the same as ne did to us,
and just as he had in the committee
rooms and halls of Congress. Mr..
Dubois further stated that Mr.. Haw-
ley would not and dare not 60 to the
annexation counties, Nez Perce and
Latah counties, and declare himself
upon annexation. Mr.. Hawley can
follow Dubois through the lead dis
tricts and attempt to meet his argu-
ments, but we are more than satisfied
that Mr.. Dubois was right, and that
Mr.. Hawley dare not set his foot up
on the soil of Latah or Nez Perce
counties and speak upon the annexa-
ton question. The voters of South
western Idaho are deeply interested
in this subject and will watch Mr.
Hawley very carefully, and they will
not believe that all is right, when ev'
cry annexationist in the north is sup
porting him. If Mr.. Hawley avoids
these counties, we will assume that
he has made some arrangement with
the segregationists for their votes
1t looks now very much that way
Let the voters of the South beware!

Attorney Geo w Stinson an,

Attorney Geo. W. Stinson, and
Editor O. j. Lamb, have been going
for each other at a lively rate. It
seems that some weeks ago a report
got in circulation that a woman had
accused Mr.. StinsOn of being respOn-
sible for her loss of honor, and ia due
time she would enter a criminal com
plant against him. Lamb printed
something in reference to the report,
and his account contained the sub
stantial statement that StinsOn had
skipped and the Sheriff was after him.
For this StinsOn had Lamb arrested
and bound over to Court to answer to
the charge of criminal libel Last
Saturday Blanch Ford, the girl al
luded to who is now an inmate Of the
poor house, did file complaint against
StinsOn before w. A Pratt, J. P, of
Marvin township, who held him to
answer at the District Court to the
complaint referred to. Both cases
have been continued until the March
term of court. G. A. Spaulding &
Co., Don Carlos and Frank Mckay
appear for Stinson, and @. A. Lewis
and n. B. Mccormick for Lamb.

After 0Ir. DELPHI had loaded up
his bus last Friday night with people
who had attended the festivities at
Samuel PlOtner's, and who were now
ready to return home, Frank Strain
came rushing out, and in a frantic
manner implOred DELPHI to wait till
he could find his OvercOat. as he
wanted to go in on that trip MIR.
DELPHI replied ''all right We'll wait"
Strain went back into the house and
piled OyercOats this way and that way
but could not find his. About this
time 1t occurred to Uncle Reuben
Rogers, who had been quietly sitting
IN the bus, that his coat did not fit
HIM soon enough, especially when he
remembered the amount of ham. tur-
key and pie etc, he had disposed of
and a closer examination revealed the
fact that he had on Strains coat. He
unlOaded himself from the bus. went
IN, gave Mr.. Strain his coat, put on
another handed him by Strain. re-
Sumed his seat in the bus. and the
jolly crowd were soon at home. Sub
sequently 1t was aSccrtained that he
made a second mistake, and finally
wore OF q. H. Le1tingwell's overcoat.
and when Mr.. Lefingwel came to
get ready to go home the second trip,
he yanked around OvercOats and
cloaks, and hats, and looked solemn.
and If he could have thought of the
right words to express his feelings he
would have said them. Now we want
it distinctly understood that Grand
pa PlOUner' furnished his guests
nothing stronger to drink than coffee,
but that was a splendid article. To
mistake ones coat on that occasion
was very natural, for after supper
nearly everybody felt taller and q
heap bigger around

In another place we print ex-
tracts from a letter received from
Rev b. r.. Turner, a Congregational
minister, a native of Kentucky and a
union labor man. He is a great ad-
mirer Of Grover Cleveland We are
not, but we allow him space in which
to express his admiration for the
President. We also give him room
in which to call the attention Of the
union laborites and democrats to any
neglect Of duty on the part of the
republicans. The HERALD aims to be
broad and liberal. While we affiliate
with the republican party, we would
no more cover up or cOndOne a wrong
done by that party than if committed
by some other party. We have. no
blind partisan bitterness. Let the
right always be recognized and com
mended, and let political parties like
individuals always be held response
bic for their deliberate acts.
