THAT CONVENTION.

The rule-or-ruin faction-better known
as Star & Bullock's' republican party
did just as everybody expected them to
do when it came to a ''show down. OF
strength-try to bulldoze and bluff the
balance of Lawrence county, and when
they found it would not work, bolted
the convention, and started little snap
of their own. They are of class OF
men who let personal matters stand par
amount to everything else. They will
wreck the party that has made them
what they are, before they viii concede
a jot, OF allow political opponent a
point.
Lawrence county can go to the dem
milton bow-wows, they care not, SO long
as they gain their point The time has
gone by when that particular clique can
run the entire county and the quicker
they find it out the better it will be for
themselves and the city Of Deadwood.
This end of the county, with other
precincts, stands pat and something will
be heard to drop very hard about next
November. This can be put down as
gospel truth and the battle OF the ballots
next fall will corroborate our prophesy.
The st. Paul Globe correspondent at
Washington, d. c., interviewed Dako-
ia man the other day regarding Dakota
politics, and the following wonderful
statement was made: ''There is a posi-
bility though, that John H. King may
loom up with his Black Hills and South
Dakota following, and gobble the pan
cakes. King is willy politician from
Iowa. He was in the legislature Of that
state many years ago and has long been
under the 'tutelage of so-shrewd and sa-
gacious a manipulation of men as Senator
Allison. I understand that he comes to
Washington frequently to consult with
Allison upon his prospects. I am sure
he laid his plans before Allison last win
ter, and asked his counsel as to methods
King is dangerous factor in the repub-
Ican camps especially SO, inasmuch as
the other fellows don't seem to think be
is pulling hard on his oar, when he u.s.
Hal Hal! Pulling hard oar! OF course
be is. He pulls extremely hard y but
he feathers the wrong way, and conse-
quently-is backing water. King worries
the republican party in the Black Hills
just about as much ais an ordinary mos
quito would an alligator. II the repub-
lican party never splits until they spill
on King they will be solid forever.

long as the present administration is in

Fires have been taking place in several
of our neishboring towns within the last
few weeks. Some have been very
destructive to property ard some have
done less damage. Some have evidently
been the work OF incendiaries and some
have been the result of carelessness
None have been the result ofspontaneous
combustion of gun cotton or other com.
bustible material. The season has been
very dry, and water in the towns has
been very scarce. 1t behoovcs the people
to be particularly careful and watchful at
the present time. Give incendaries the
full benefit of the rope that is requisite
to suppress them promptly and cffectual.
ly and give them 10 understand that no
mercy will be shown TO them if caught
in the act of setting fires to property, or
if proof is furnished that they have been
engaged in that criminal business. 1t is
the only way to rid the country of tina,

safe from their depredations.

know Senator Stewart has never sought
to dismcmber Idaho against her will,
and his efforts to attach South Idaho to
his own state have been at the instance
Of the people o! South Idaho aud without
the urging of the people Of North Idaho
and only upon condition that North
Idaho should go to Washington. But
Of late there had arisen question about
the i sire OF the people Of the North to
20 to Washington. Stewards amend
,nent to Dolph's bill for the admission oil
Washington, giving the people Of North
Idaho the power to express their views
upon that question in legal manner, so
as to settle the dispute in congress and
end the strife, was offered and has been
urged. Nowhere has it been minated
that Stewart has shown desire or
purpose to annex South Idaho to Nevada
against the wish Of the people OF South
Idaho to go to Nevada, nor to place
North Idaho in the new state of Wash
inston unless the people Of North Idaho
choose to 60 there. Nothing could be
more fair to both the people of North
and South Idaho than the provisions Of
Stewards amendment, and it ought t(
become a law. But it has been siren
uously opposed by Gov. Stevenson ant
Delegate Dubois at Washington. W.
don't understand why, unless they d.
not want the people to have the right t.
say where they desire to be attached
1t is the right of congress to change tn
boundaries Of territories to suit the wlshe
and convenience aud interests Of tn
people, and we cant forscc why Duboi
or Gov. Stevenson should object t
: giving the people that right, and nc
attempt to hold the people 10 bondage
y them against their will. The who
c objection smacks strongly of arbtrar
dictatorship, which is not in conformi'
- with the principles of republican
% democratic principles or good policy,

A GENERAL OPINION OF AS.
SAVERS.

The assayers in the city report more
activity in their line this season than
formerly, which they believe to be an
indication that the prospecting in the
mountains is Of more earnest and
successful character than previous sea-
sons. Specimens for assayiug constantly
arrive by mail or express or are brought
in by tho proprietors themselves. The
principal directions that the work comes
from are Kootcnai and Rock creek,
Salmon river, Colville and Cherry creek.
The samples arriving from the latter
district mostly reach here by way of
Palousc and Garfield. Quite a number
also come from Chawel!a, between
Carleton and Spokane and some sixty
miles from here.
Most of the specimens arriving are
salcna-silver, which goes from thirty t.
seventy ounces of silver to the ton
Gold quartz of all grades is handled
some of it going but few dollars ant
some assayins many hundred to the ton
The assays of copper range from 40 tt
so per cent. which is high grade
Stray specimens Of iron ore OCCASIONAL,
reach the assayers, and they sometime
assay rock fer zinc, to ascertain tn
detriment that metal may have 10 tn
working OF the more valuable ores tina
may be associated with it.

county averages 81 $50 to each tax
payer in the county. We also are iu-
formed that the assessed valuation of
property in the new county of Latah
averages $3.50 TO each and every tax
payer in that county. The aggregate
valuation in Latah is large, as they have
large area, and many more tax payers.
The showing in both counties is good

HOW SHALL WE OBTAIN THD
PRESENT SENTIMENT
OF the People OF North Idaho on III Q
Ouestion OF Anucx ,liou'

Had StewaIts amendment passed ana
become a law then it would have been
an easy matter to determine this. But
in the absence Of the provisions of that
amendment it is not so easy matter.
Some have thought that the placing of a
third candidate in the field would
accomplish this end. But the general
cpiuion is that third candidate would
not secure the annexation vote, for the
reason that members of the two political
parties In the North, on this presidential
election year, would want to be identified
by their vote, either as democrats or
republicans. and hence would not desert
their party for an annexation candidate
nominated solely upon this issue, and the
result would not show the true sentiment
Of the people upon that issue. But that
it might be shown in both parties by
placing at the head Of the ticket of both
parties the words "For Annexation and
against Annexation" in two separate
lines, the words "For' and "Acainst"
being printed at the beginning Of the
respective lines, so that all the voter will
have to do to signify his choice will be to
erase with pencil the Against" if he is
for annexation AMI the For il he is
against the annexation. Let both parties
have their tickets SO printed, and have
the Judges and clerks of election return
the result of that vote, and have the
canvassers canvass the same in each
precinct aud preserve the result with the
auditors in the respective counties SC
that it can b. sworn to and collected 70,
use in Congress. In this manner con
gress can get the true result as basis OF
their action. This may accomplish the
end sought nearly as well as the provi
, sions of Stewards amendment, though
e it will net have the form and authorit,
$ of law, but it will have the sanction o
> the people of the North who are anxiou
, to do right and settle this question. l
| Dubois and Stevenson are not willing tina
Q Stewards amendment prevail in congress
r the people Of the North themselves cal
give an expression Of their opinion upo'
r the question Of annexation. IL any maj
can suggest any better plan let him d
a 50 quickly, but have the plan uniform il
n all the counties and have it fai,hfull
e carried out. 1t will be fair to all partie
e and not injurious TO any one. II tn

c tion they can say so. If they DO the
