CO., IDAHO TERRITORY FRIDAY JANUARY
THEY CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH.

A Grangeville correspondent of tn,
Lewiston annexation barre-organ make
the assertion that the public schools o
this county are all hopelessly in debt
This is lie, as only four districts il
this county are in debt, and all the rest
have money to their credit now lying in
the county treasury, as may be seen by
the county auditors report published
elsewhere. The districts in debt are
Mt. Idaho No. l, Grangevile No. ., and
districts Nos. IL and IL. The other
thirteen districts do not owe dollar.
A good argument for statehood can
be made out of the fact that we would
then get the benefit of the school lands
which we cannot now use, but it is use
less to misrepresent our present school
system, which is far ahead of the re-
Qnirements of a country so new as this,
where the increase of population of late
years has exceeded the revenue availa.
bic for an extension of educational fa-
clities. New school districts are organ
lied as fast as they are petitioned for, and
we have never heard complaint that
the school facilities of this county are
inadequate, or that children are growing
up in ignorance from lack of schools. II
there are faults in the school system of
the territory, they can be amended by
the next legislature, if the soreheadS
will only tell our representatives what
changes are essential The fact is that
Idaho territory has an exceptionally
good educational system-far superior
to that OF Westinghouse the annexa-
tinnists would only tell the truth about it.
The stock men of this county will no
doubt feel highly gratified at the com
pliment (?) given them in the Lewiston
Teller last week by its Grangeville an
nexation correspondent that they are
to education. The cattle men
are our heaviest taxpayers, and this
would be mighty poor county without
them. Their names are never found on
the delinquent tax list, and no class
so literally when the hat is
passed for new school house, or for an
extra term of school in their local dis
tricts. The rank and file of the annex
ationists are found in the shiftless, un-
class, who think that change
Of any kind is bound to benefit them.
They desire change for the sake
Of change, and they would be just as
'hiftless and dissatisfied in Washington
rs they are in Idaho. They may as
we'll make up their minds to stay in
Idaho. because they can only get away
rom it by emigrating.

SCARLET FEVER.

The scarlet fever has been raiding
the children about town, and two have
already ccumbed-little Lena Rice

Beck, Rev. George and others have
been afflicted, but it is hoped that the

At present there are no indications that
the disease is spreading, aud the little
sufferers are being tenderly nursed
1t is hoped that by the suspension of
school and other gatherings. further ex
tension of the plague may be stayed.

A man rarely occurs who possesses
sutficency of coolness and moderation.
Hot-headed precipitancy and prema-
ture efforts to force conditions, nearly
always retard, and not unfrequently de-
stroy the ends sought. The majority
drive headlong and furiously, like Jehu,
without forethought or calculation as to
whether there may be better course,
and depend upon their shrewdness to
smoothe the way and avoid the obsta
cles. as they go. They take more pride
in this shrewdness and tact thanthey do
in the justice and wisdom, ,,oftheir course,
and are ever extolling their skill in
driving TO the brink If the precipice

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

President Cleveland's message TO
Congress anent Chinese exclusion
indicates that he calculates upon the
cooperation of the Chinese Govern
ment in the enforcement of the
America2 Exclusion Act. Follow
ing are the words of the message =
"The admitted and paramount
eright and duty of every Government
to exclude from its borders all ele-
mcnts of foreign population which
retard its prosperity, or detrimental
to the moral and physical health of
its people, must be regarded as
recognized canon of international
law and intercourse.
China herself has not dissented
from this doctrine, but has by the
= expression TO which have referred,
led us confidently to rely upon such
action on her part-ln cooperation
with us-as would enforce the eX-
clusion of Chinese laborers from our
country"

LIABLE TO INDICTMENT
A STARTLING STORY.
An Alleged Attempt to Kill Gen. Har-
srisOn.

Indianapolis Special to the New York Herald.
Has an attempt been made to take the life Of
President-elect Harrison? The question is q
startling one, and that there should be any
fact to justify the asking of it seems incredible
Nevertheless q rumor justifying the inquiry
has crept out tonight and the source of it is
such that cannot do otherwise than send such
information. which is but little, as can be OBJ
tanned concerning it. There are many who
believe the rumor to be well founded, and
later Developments are awaited with great in
terest.
The facts so far as they can be stated. are
that close friend Of the Harrison family told
story to-day to a confidential friend which if
true. will startle the nation and the entire civ
llzed world 1t was to the effect that a we'll
laid plot to take the life of Gen. Harrison was
arranged by a gang of blood-thirsty villains,
and that an attempt to execute their dastardly
designs was made one day last week. but that
the fearful scheme was discovered by one Of
Harrison . nearest friends and thwarted.
HELD As SECRET.
This startling intelligence has been held as
dead secret and it is said that General Harri-
son and his family intended that it should
never be made public. The one or two per-
sons who have been intrusted with the facts
still decline TO give any details and it is only
possible to give the mere statement at this
time. The person who is my informant said
tonight as be whispered the secret to me
that the strangest thing to him was that so
great and terrible an affair had been kept a
secret so long. He declines at this time to tell
where and when the affair happened.
AN EASY VICTIM.
1t 10 well known, however, that Gen Harri-
son daily exposes himself to any such vile pur-
pose, as it is his custom to take two walks each
day, and usually he strolls mostlv vhen alopa
In the back streets of the northern part of the
city. He Is seldom accompanied by any one,
and ne would prove an easy victim for any
would-be assassin.
OF course the publication Of the fact will.
no doubt, lead to thorough investigation of
the affair, and determined effort Wilt be
made to bring the would-be assassins to
iusrice
