WAsHINGTos, d. G. Jan. ~, 'sS.
MARTIN CArHcART, S. A. CLARksos.
JOHN KENNALY, County Commission
ers' Idaho City, Idaho. Gentlemen:
l am in receipt of your favor of Jan.
uary 18th, enclosing copies of a pro-
test which l have presented to- the
House to-day, and secured its refer
ence to the Committee on Territories,
by far the most important person
here, who is urging the annexation Of
Northern Idaho to Washington Ter.
rltory, is Senator Stewart of Nevada,
who relies on the fact that such a di.
vision would paralyze Southern Ida
no and render her an easy prev for
Nevada.
AS he is on the Committee on Ter.
rltorles, in the Senate, it has given
him good chance to influence the
members of that committee. He
managed to have himself designated
as Chairman of a subcommittee nj
three, to whom the project has been
referred. Of course Senator Voor-
hees is doing all be can to aid him.
as is also Delegate Voorhees,. We
have sturdy and alert champion in
Senator Cullom, who is as determin-
ed that Idaho shall not be divided as
Stewart and Voorhees, that it shall,
Governor Stevenson and myself, on
last Monday, made an argument be-
fore the Senate Committee on Terri
tories on this question, and go before
the House Committee to-day. 1t is
possible that the bill may pass the
Senate, but do not apprehend any
danger from the House. Your pro-
test was timely as we'll as explicit.
All expressions from the Territory
aid me greatly. My hardest task has
been to convince Senators and Mem.
bers that the people of Idaho do not
want the Territory wiped out. They
refer to past actions of the Delegates,
past Territorial platforms and legis-
lative memorials, which have been
presented during the present session
with numerously signed petitions
from the Nez Perces County.
Very truly yours,
FRED. T. DUBOIS.

STATESMAN: On Saturday evening
last John Dwyer, who had been work
ing on the Settlers ditch, came to
town to have blowout, and assault
ing John Tyson knocked him down.
Officer Ryan arrested the offender
and was conducting him to the lock-
up on Eighth street, when Dwyer
made snatch for the officers pistol
and struck him with it upon the side
of his nose and on his face. Ryan
finally got the weapon away from
Dwyer and locked him up. On Non
day morning the latter was taken be-
fore Probate Judge Prickett, where
he plead guilty and was fined in the
sum of fifty dollars. In the meantime
complaint was sworn out charging
Dwyer with making a felonious as
sault upon an officer in the discharge
of his duty. This latter case will
come up for hearing before Judge
Prickett on Tuesday afternoon at Z
o'clock.
A later number of the Statesman
says Dwyer was bound over to await
the action of the grand jury for as
saulting the officer.

given last Monday night in Odd Eel

and the gay dancers wailoped the

majority. The appetites of the mer-

A NOVEL SIGHT.-a novel sight
was witnessed at Robertson's ferry
on Snake river one day last week,
says the Range and Valley, just after
'ne Ice broke up. First was observed
d COW standing on large section of
Ice and floating rapidly down stream
lhen In a few minutes followed a
aeer solitary and alone on another
'hunk; and lastly followed large
steer with his body in the water and
under jaw resting upon slab of ice
with fear depicted in his eyes. They
were all headed for warmer cline
and probably have reached the Pa
ENG ocean ere this dead or alive.

THE County Commissioners, accord
ing to the revised statutes, can fix a
bounty to be paid for the destruction
of each coyote, lynx, wild cat, bear,
cougar, etc., upon petition of not
less than one-tenth of the legal voters
and tax payers of the county. This
will prove equivalent, in all probabil-
ity to repeal of the old bounty law,
as it is not likely that any hunter
would go to the trouble of getting
this number of signers to petition
for the small bounty he would receive
for scalps of these animals.

Mr.. Dubois will, however, be sup
ported by the members of the Demo
cratic central committee, who adopted
strong resolutions against the annexa-
ton of any part of Idaho to either
Washington or Nevada, and tele-
graphed them to Washington.
The above is from the Silver City
Avalanche OF the 4th instant, in an
article that complains of the omission
of any anti-annexation clause in the
proceedings of the recent Republican
Territorial Committee meeting in
Boise that was called for that par
ticular purpose. The Herald also
noted the absence of such clause in
the republican doing, but it was only
the result of little political scheme
of other members present. Delegate
Dubois is working so earnestly for
the good of Idaho that self-promineut
members of his party are trying to
''down" him. The democrats lack a
man sufficiently popular to contest
the honors with Freddy" as we used
to call him, and the outside republi-
cans will likewise discover that even
In their own ranks they, too, lack ma
terial to carry off Dubois honors
But the omission of any anti-annexa-
ton plank is only one of series Of
tricks on the program that Delegate
Dubsis' friends" have in store fol
him.

A Few Odd Nick Names,

"Did you ever notice." inquired a law
yer, THAT in nearly every occupation
the capable worker has q nick name for
the bOtcher who is engaged in the same
business! Take my business for an illus
tration. The first class lawyer Is called
an attorney or counselor, while the 'ne'r-
do-well is termed a shysucr. Al sea an
incompetent sailor is called n marine: on
land the third rate actor is called a ham
fatter or barn stOrmer; the shiftless
newspaper reporter or Journalist, a
blacksmith; the physician who never
cures, the quacli; the cheap stcvedore, a
Jumper The looking glass prize fighter, a
beefer.
"All the terms are used IN reproach to
10 make a distinction between the good
and the bad worker. To call n sailor a
marine Is worse than calling him a muir

was clumsy or ignorant Of his duty. At

FalsehoOds and Abuse.


Mr.. caves, the chairman of the
State Republican Executive comm,
tee has issued a warning to the
"people" to beware of frauds,
falsehoods and forgeries" winch he
said the democrats will attempt to
resort to carry this State. Now th'a
is cheeky. In the face of the most
shameless personal abuse, Sian Ter
and falsehooi, uttered BY the repub-
lican pr IS and campaigners in this
canvass this ebullition from MIR. Eaves
is refreshing. The manner OF cons
Quoting this campaign on the part oil
the republican penny-a-liners most
ly irresponsible fellows caught up
for their capacity for dirty and dis"
respectable work, and their canvas
sers from Dockery down. Mr.. Dock
cry himself taking the lead in SLAMS
dering women, dead men, and his
betters, has been without parallel
in the history of the State. Outside
of the disgrace is shameful attached
to the chosen representatives of a
party, the effect of al this has been
to unite the honest, good men Of the
State rs they were never before
united, the result will be, by the fair,
determined votes Of the e people, to
bury that party out Of sight in this
State next month.
But We cannot withhold our admit
nation Of Mr.. Eaves' cheek.
