"Stable my horse in the halls of en-

LEGISLATION NEEDED.

A subject that should early receive
the attention of the coming Nevada
Legislature is That relating to the taxa
ton of mortgages aud Of property mott
gagged. In nearly every other State in
tho Union if mortgage ray of $1,000
Is on B's.property, which il worth ST.
FOO, A ID considered to be partner in
the place, and is nssesse for che full
value of the mortgage, while b is as
Bessed for 500. or the difference be-
tween the face value of the mortgage
and tho assessed value of the place.
This seems to be the true aud only Just
way. If b mortgages his place to A, it
is not increased in value thereby. When
Is mortgages his property he rats with
certain portion OF its vHlue, of which
A becomes possessed, and should be so
taxed for it. While b, since his inter-
est has been diminished, should Only
pay taxes upon the difference of the
taxed value nud the fnce Of the mort2a-
GEES. for that is all that he may be said
to possess.
The laws of Nevada upon the subject
are ocular. They hold that in the
ol.e above. A shall be- taxed for 81, 900
and b for 81 800, while, should the lat
Ter apply the 81 ,OC0 he has received by
moitgaging his property to purchasing
other property, this nlso would be SUBJ
jet to taxation, making in the eyes Of
the State fictitious valuation OF So
500, where only $4,000 is involved. Tn
every ca the amount cove;el by the
mortgage as twice taxed. TIE effect
of this works direct injury to B.
In California the mortgage itself is
not taxed. B paying the whole amount
of taxation, but the burden between A
ADD B is equalIzed, since A on this &c
count oan afford to let his money at o
lower rate of interest. Those who in
Nevada are compelled to borrow money,
giving mortgage or note as security,
complain that money from California is
loaned at two or three per cent. less in-
terest than they are. compelled to pay
the Nevada capitalist. The Nevada
money loaner thus making himself Sc
cure anl ON par with the lender of
California; but it all comes out of the
man who has to borrow, who should, il
there is to be any discrimination, have
the favor. No olass is benefited by the

Republican Convention.

At the Republican territorial con-
vention held in Boise on the Cd
instant, George A. Black, of HALEY,
and Mr.. Hepburn, of North Idaho,
were elected delegates to the Ma
tional Republican Convention; with
Jos. Pinkham, of Ketchum, and
Willis Sweet, of Moscow, as alter
mates.
From Mr.. II. D. Jaquish, dele
gate from Custer county, who re-
turned home yesterday, we learned
that the work of the convention
was begun on the evening of the
LIST, and concluded by noon Of the
I'd. The convention favored Blaine
for presidential nominee, and Col.
George L. Shoup was named for
member of the National committee.
The delegate from North Idaho,
and, by the way, Sweet, who was
generously admitted from Wash
ington territory, confirmed the inn
preston that the annexation scheme
is dead issue. They are willing
to give it up as bad job. If this
is not a political trick it will
strengthen the Republican party of
Idaho.

ter, written to Distrit Attorney

Messenger, explains itself:
On BOARD ITALIAN BARK, PENSACOLA
BAY, FLA, April 30, 1883.
Ny Dear Sharp: am sailing to day
tor Buenos Ayres, in the Argentine Re-
public. You and others of my friends
may think that l have pursued strange
course. On my return from Bayhorse, on
the 10th day of March, discovered that
I had violated Sec. 1910, Revised Statutes,
therefore knew of no reason why
should not be held accountable for my
misdeeds, as we'll as any other person,
and, if the matter had been Investigated
by the grand jury, would have been in
dicted, and the result would have been a
term at Boise. Rather than be 80 humil-
lated, instead of going to Canada go to
South America. I will write to you at
various times. wish you would send
me the Messenger from March 10th to
the date of the receipt of this letter.
Send them to G. B. Adams, in care of
American Consul, Buenos Ayres, Argen-
tine Republic. will tell you more when
l get ashore. Send papers of all kinds
as directed. The pilot boat is ready to
leave US, SO must close.
am most truly your friend,

Democratic Central Committee.

The Democratic Territorial Gen.
trail Committee met at Boise on the
Goth inst, Hon. Geo. Ainslie pre-
siding, and after the usual prelim-
mary business a series of resolu-
tons were read and adopted COM
mending the administration of
President Cleveland and Governor
Stevenson and concluding with the
following:
Resolved, That we emphatically re-
assert our unalterable opposition to any
division or annexation scheme tending
TO divide our Territory, and condemn the
republican party Of Idaho for its bad
faith as manifested on this question by
its central committee.
Res0lred, That we recommend to the
county conventions that no proxy be al
lowed in the Democratic Territorial Con-
vention unless be reside in that county.
The committee appointed to find
the apportionment of delegates to
the next Territorial Convention,
also the time and place Of holding
the same, recommend that each
county be allowed one delegote at
large, one for every two hundred
votes cast for Delegate to Congress
at the last election, and one for
every fractional part thereof of one
hundred or over one hundred and
that the convention be held at Boise
City on the 22d day of August, 1888.
1t also recommended that the coun-
ty conventions throughout the Ter
ritory be held on Saturday, August
II, 1888, and that the delegates to
the territorial convention be elected
by the regular county conventions.

IDAHO POLITICS.

Politics in Idaho, although re-
stricted mainly to the broils and
intrigues of county and territorial
campaigning, assumes forms and
shapes as diversified and fathom-
less as the hills and canyons around
as. It has too often been true that
nothing was too corrupt to further
the designs Of certain class OF
scheming politicians, who vend
their honor in job lots, assume vir-
tues, and let conscience sink be-
meath selfish motive. We cannot
afford to place such men in public
office, and every loyal voter in Ida
no will exert himself for their de-
feat. The resolutions lately passed
by the Mormons of Oneida county
settles beyond doubt the fact that
they will vote-vote early and late
and vote often-and there are men,
so called, within the territory whose
conscientious scruples will not swell
within them as fast as the impulse
to benefit thereby. Let US have
loyal and honorable men; men who
recognize the need in Idaho of ju-
dicious government and careful
legislation, not hoodlums and divis-
ionists. Idaho has enemies without
and a canker within graver than all
the issues of party strife, and until
her lawful citizens unite in defense
against these there is little hope of
preservation. Democrats and Re-
publicans, Mugwumps and Prohi-
bitionists all find sectional issues
here that are more important than
party platforms, and forget those
names in the common causes Of the
territory, viz: pro-silver, anti-divis-
ion and anti-mormon. If the peo-
pie cannot cast away petty preju-
dices and become a unit on these
questions we may expect to see the
pestilence spread and feel ourselves
quartered for our neighbors' feast.
The Shoshone Journal says:
Party lines can have but little restraint
in such a crisis when the entire law
obeying and liberty loving people are
united in working for the common good.
Supreme Court has sustained the present
laws-the question is shall these laws
lie deied by any organized body of law
breakers2 Let the issue come now if it
must be met and let the people be pre-
pared to meet this issue in any form pre-
scented. Idaho owes it to herself to unite
all sections and all interests against foes
without and foes within, against the di
vision or humiliation of the territory, or
Mormon invasion and control. In this
struggle against the dangers that beset
its infancy the eyes of the world arc be
ing turned toward Idaho, and if the true
loyal hearted people win their fight, there
is no section or commonwealth so deserv-
ing of honor, so worthy of proud name
as the youthful and proud Seem of the
Mountains"
