DELEGATE DUBoIs in late letter
to HALEY friend expresses himself
in very hopeful terms of his success
in the battle against segregation and
annexation and closes the same with
this complementary mention of Gov
ernor Stevenson:
Governor Stevenson is here and is
doing most excellent work. He devotes
his entire time to explaining the situa-
ton as it is, to the members and SEN
ators, and the fact that we work in
perfect harmony, he being a Demo
cratic governor and / the Republican
delegate, has most excellent effect.
The people who have helped to
build up Idaho and are proud of her
growth and development, and who
wish to keep her intact until we can
build up state from the rich elements
which are there. cannot give him too
much praise for the unselfish zeal and
fair and broad stand which he has
taken on this question. He certainly
has made my fight much lighter and
is entitled to and has my warmest
concentrations.

the Offices for which they are named

heads together in these matters Bing-
ham county will have competent Off
cials from townships constables to
councilmen; but if they fail in their
duty to do this. then they should sit
mum and make no complaints against
those selected and elected. Such will
be the action of the Democrats in
Bingham county in the coming cam
paign. They will name none but good
men for office, men, in-every-way, com
petent, and when elected and installed
their opponents will console them
selves by saying ''they have beaten us
with good men. efficient men, compe-
tent men; they did it fairly and squar-

The New York Times declares that
if the next Presidential canvass is
fought between Blaine and Cleveland
on the tariff issue Roscoe Conkling
has announced he will take the stump
for Cleveland. The well known hos
tility of the great New Yorker to Mr..
Blaine caused him to refrain from
throwing the weight of his influence
into the last canvass as heartily as
has been his wont in previous cam
paigns, but it is questionable if he
would commit himself so openly to
the Democrats. However the Times
claims to have good authority for the
statement. Mr.. ConlIing has come
to the conclusion alleged upon the
belief that the Republican party can
not oppose the reduction of the tariff
that weighs so heavily on producers
and consumers without violating its
pledges made in the party platform,
and he is stated to have expressed the
opinion that the last message of Pres
ident Cleveland was one of the wisest,
boldest and most patriotic evidences
of craftsmanship of recent years-Ex.

THE Dillonites are considerably ex-
ercised over the proposed separation
of Beayerhead county from Montana
and it annexation to Idaho. Senator
Cullom's proposition was to dissever
Missoula and Beaverhead counties,
but the people about Dillon evidently
think that their particular concern is
with Beaverhead county and call for
q mass-meeting at the opera house in
Dillon on last Tuesday evening was
published in the Tribune to make a
demonstration .sthat will forever settle
the question of annexation to Idaho
or the dismemberment of Montana =
The proposition is only a set-of for
the raid made on Idaho to annex the
Panhandle to Washington, though
how Delegate Dubois expects to get
even with the latter Territory by ma
king bluff on Montana will puzzle a
good many. Absurd as the PROPOSE
ton is. however, there can be no doubt
that it must be vigorously protested
against. as silence might be miscon-
strued into acqulesence with the
scheme. Therefore protest of the
most pronounced and indignant kind
is in order followed by its transmits
sion to our Delegate in Congress, who
will place it where it will do the most
good. Butte Miner.

In is an uncontroyerted fact that
the masses rarely make grave mistakes
in the selection of their officers if left
undisturbed by designing, scheming
politicians. And it is for this reason
THE News urges upon the voters OF
Bingham county to see that they do
not allow themselves to be led astray
in the coming campaign. There is
time enough ahead to canvass the
fields thoroughly and look into the
qualifications and fitness of men for
office, and if the canvass is made with
deliberation asd selections of candi-
dates with judgment there will be lit

MERITS OF THE JURY SYSTEM.

Letter Of Justice Miller, United States
Supreme Court.
A jury is in the main as valuable
as an equal number of judges would
be as q tribunal for ascertaining the
truth in regard to controverted ques-
tions of fact. The necessity that all
shall concur in order to render YER
dict insures the fullest possible dis
cussion of all the controverted facts
in every doubtful case. Many instances
have been known in which the first
vote of jury showed only one of its
members in favor of verdict to which
all twelve ultimately agreed as right.
In such cases the veto power of one
man enables him to avert result
which would otherwise be reached
precipitately and without due and
careful consideration. 1t should also
be borne in mind that many cases
occur in the courts, out of the thou
sands which are tried and determined
every year, in which the testimony is
SO conflicting and complicated that, in
the very nature of things, men must
disagree as to what is the right con
clusion to be drawn from them. Under
such circumstances, the disagreement
Of jury is no discredit to the jury
system.

A GEORGIA man, who has been
roughing it on Green Island this
summer, has devoted much time to
studying the habits of the turtle and
to gathering her eggs. He says that
no one having taken the eggs from
a turtles nest can get them all back
again. Those who have tried it find
that after filling the nest they have
enough eggs remaining to fill one
or two more just such holes in the
sand. When Mother Turtle lays
an egg she::paddles it in tight with
her feet, and so egg by egg until
the nest is full, and the elasticity
of the she'll permits some extremely
close packing that no man has been
able to duplicate. Durham Plant.

THE GROWTH OF LUXURY.

Prosperity encourages luxury;
luxury is enervating, and encourages
sloth; luxury tends to produce, and
in the worlds history has often pro-
duced, national decay. Now, the
growth of luxury for the last half
century has been very great and
very general. We do not merely
mean that the rate of living has ad-
vanced. This of itself is not neces-
sarily to be deplored in any class,
and in some classes is matter for
serious congratulation. That an
agricultural laborer, for instance,
should be able to procure more food,
better clothing, better housing. and
better education for his children
than he could fifty years ago is a
matter to rejoice over, and state Of
things to secure by every proper
means What we mean IS, that the
scale of comfort deemed necessary
by every class has enormously
grown. And the tendency is ever
upward. Young men beginning life
try to start where their fathers left
off. Some quarter of a century ago
there was a discussion in the news
papers as to the prudence or other
wise of young persons in the upper
classes marrying on an income OF
three hundred year. Three times
that income would be now consider
ed inadequate by the critics who
conducted the discussion. Quarter

Hermann Vickery, who was kill
ed recently in California while at
tempting to escape from the peni-
tertiary, was burglar somewhat
out of the usual run. After he had
burglarized a house, he would enter
the ladies apartments and compe
each lady to kiss him. He would
offer no violence, and frequently ht
would enter a house for the SOLE
purpose of obtaining kisses from
feminine lips. His osculatory pro
pensity brought him to grief. While
he was attempting to kiss woman

shot him, thus securing his capture

PRIVATE AXES.

Yes, | have helped grind private
axes in my time, but it was when |
was much younger than ] am now.
! remember once prominent citi-
zen came to me and extolled in
grandiloquent language a certain
enterprise, if completed, and asked
me to whoop it up. He even init
mated that | would be failing to
perform a plain public duty should
| decline to do so. Then he went
on to show me how to whoop it up,
and continued to show me for
months. While he sat gazing into
my physiogno, and flooding the
chambers of my memory with start
ling array of facts and figures, | was
busy looking beyond those facts and
figures for private axe, and | soon
found it. 1t was great big axe,
and he wanted me to grind it for
him, or to help him grind it, on the
score of public duty. | looked care
fully over my account with the pub
lie and found that we were about
even, so | declined to. help him
grind the axe.
| am decidedly of the opinion that
a man who has private axe to
grind, should be willing to pay for
the grinding, and that each individ-
ual should be permitted to be his
own judge as to how much service
he owes the public. Don't you be-
lieve I'm ?-Quitman Herald.

There have lived in Stafford,
Mass, for the past thirty-three
years two twin brothers, Erskine
and Carmine Ii. Kemp. The for
mer was thirty-six hours older than
the latter. Erskine had almost alb
so,ute control over his brother Car
mine. Whenever one brother was
sick the other would also become i'll.
Such was the case about three
weeks ago, when Erskine was taken
ill with typhoid fever and thirty-six
hours afterward Carmine was strick-
en- with the same disease. Erskine
died, and all hope of saving Car
mines life was despaired of until
about thirty-six hours after his
brothers death he rallied, and an
nounced his desire to live. He
grew better rapidly and will recov-
err. Here is a nice little problem
for the psychologists.
