unhestatingly pronounce it delusion
and snare. The present state of my
health is no better than it was then. when
was accustomed to taking prolonged
nap after being repeatedly summoned to
breakfast. l only tried that trick once
since taking up my residence here. and moth
ing could induce me to try it again: it don't
agree with me here. My financial condition
has not as yet assumed such vast proper
tons as to warrant me in putting on great
deal of style. and as to having become pos
sessed of any surplus wisdom, the indting
of this nonsenscal effusion proves the fal-
lacy of that.
There are reasons innumerable which /
might urge in behalf of my very modest
request to be allowed to go home, but l

love of ones country. and an earnest desire
to resume domestic responsibilities are not
sufficient reasons to advance for the purpose
of procuring my ticket Of-leave. l abandon
the effort i'm despair and decline to be
responsible for any disastrous consequences
that may ensue in case my appeal is
ignored. TAMMANY.

All higher education is essential selt-edu-

The impulse comes chiefly from within. and

to be absolutely appalling. He had
been Chief Justice just fourteen
years, and was ~ years of age.
Mrs. Waite was in Los Angeles,
California, where she had gone only
a week before. In the death Of
Chief Justice Waite the country has
met with serious loss, and it will
be hard to fill his place with one so
eminently fitted in every way for
the responsible position as he was.
Senator Ednlunds at the close of an
eloquent tribute to his memory,
says: There is no word of criti-
cism that can be said against him,
and there is everything to say for
him in all respects that make up a
just and upright Judge and an hon
orable, kindly and Christian citi-
zen." 1t has been suggested by a
few Southern members that Speaker
Carlisle is eminently fitted to be-
come the successor of the late Chief
Justice.

A LITTLE RESTLESS.

There still seems to be consider
able uneasiness about the safety of
Idaho. Governor Stevenson and
Delegate Dubois have done we'll so
far in their efforts to keep our ter
ritory intact; but when they had
succeeded in getting the committee
on territories in the house nf repre-
sentatives to report adversely to
any change in the boundary lines
Of the territory, up jumps Bill
Stewart in the senate and reports
favorably on bill to attach North
Idaho to Washington Territory,
which bill provides for leaving the
question to a vote of the people
whether ito be or not to be?" We
think there is no necessity for our
worthy governor to 60 back to the
national capitol to again battle for
our preservation. The willy senator
from Nevada is doing his utmost
to obliterate us, but at present there
is not ghost of chance tor his
efforts to succeed. But even should
he be successful in passing the bill
to turn the panhandle over to
Washington, when the bill should
come to the president for approval,
Mr.. Cleveland would naturally say,
"Why is it, Mr.. Stewart, that you
are so determined to interfere with
this people? Better let them alone
and school yourself to heed the old
saying, go slow"

CALIFORNIA.

Several gentlemen who were al
lured to California by the glowing
descriptions and promises of those
interested in working up the Hboom''
for Southern California lately, have
returned to their homes in differ
ent parts of the eastern states thor
oughly Disguised and disappointed
with their experience in the Golden
State, and are expressing their
opinions very freely in their home
papers. They tell some pretty hard
things about that extravagantly
doomed state. One man from Kan
sas City says he went there with
the intention of buying real estate,
but after two months of prospect
ing and study he left without in
vesting a dollar. He says: "The
soil that comes so high is not pro-
ductive of the things which man
most needs to sustain life. Nearly
everything in the shape of food
that is really good is imported. !"
After enumerating the prices of va
rious articles, he says that oranges
are higher there than in Kansas
City, good ones selling for fifteen
cents apiece; chickens are a dollar
each and milk fifteen cents quart,
and three-fourths water at that.
He says consumptive can't live
in California on account of the
damp atmosphere, and that ''even
the doctors won't make night calls
on account of dampness." Old
Californians will certainly fail to
recognize such a doleful picture as
this, as doing justice to the land
their affections still cling to, for all
old Californians have a warm cor
ner in their hearts for the land of
flowers, whether they ever expect
to return to it or not. It is true
that Idaho presents greater oppor-
tunities for men of moderate means
to earn a livelihood than does Cal
ifornia at present, but the places in
the state are not many where it
would require such a fortune even
to live as it certainly would where
prices are so enormous as described
by the gentleman from Kansas City.
No doubt he described what he
saw, and his tale may be true of
the southern part of the state, but
it is too sweeping an assertion to
say that such description applies
to California as a whole. Many
Eastern people think that what is
true of one part must be of the en-
tire state, as though California was
no larger than Rhode Island.
A Milwaukee capitalist stopping
in Denver on his way home from
California, talked to the "News"
man in very much the same strain.
He said: "The California boom
borders on the edge of lunacy. Cal
ifornia is splendid place for rich
men and Cinnamon" and then goes
on for half a column to abuse the
state roundly. No doubt the "Cli-
matte Boom" has been greatly over
done and many have been disap-
pointed in not finding the paradise
they expected, but California is
large state and it is not all bad.

but also that class of foreigners that
are capable of becoming American
citizens. Some of Americas most
loyal and devoted citizens are
among her foreign-born population,
and they realize as wildly as do
the native-born the misfortune it is
to have the country overrun by
such hordes of slavish and debased

as are daily being landed on our

CHEF JUSTICE WAITE DEAD.

Chief Justice Waite died at his
residence in Washington on the
morning of the 23d inst, after a
very brief illness. He seemed to
be suffering from acute bronchitis
for three or four days, but no alarm
was felt about his condition until
the very morning he died. The inn
mediate cause of his death, the doc
tor said, was nervous failure of the
action OF the heart, and it came

The Democratic Party in No way Re-

GoLDTHwAITE, TIKI, March 70, 1888.
To the Editor OF the Gazette.
In your issue of March 10 appears 6
letter from this place signed "CitlEgn of
Mills County," rejecting not only on the
officers but on every law abiding citizen
OF the county. That the writer is DEM
sgogue or mugwump Republican appears
from the fact that he wants the govern
ment turned over to the Republicans.
The present trouble in the western part
of this county had It's origin long before
Mills county was created. OF the six
&len that have been killed In that
lection in the last two years,
ssaree were killed over the
river In San S1bA county,
and to my personal knowledge 70 peins
or expense has been spared by the officers
of either county in trying to ferret out the
perpetrators Of these crimes. In not q
single instance have the officers failed or
refused to go when called on, or failed to
execute process. None more than the
law. abiding tizsps st Mills county re-
greet the recent tragedies, and how the
Democratic party, more than "Citizsn"
ana his friends are responsible for these
troubles, perhaps he can tell.
