An exchange says: No one can
say that the farmers as a class are
not well posted in politics, While they
miss something of the momentary ex-
citement bred in city political assem-
blages by sensational reports or stormy
speeches, they have as class, per.
haps, the very best opportunity of all
to sift matters thoroughly and calcu-
late the real attitude of the political
barometer.
And The News expresses the hope
that farmers, ranchmen and stockmcn
generally of Bingham county will
continue to keep themselves posted
on all political matters touching their
interests. Their calculations of the
''real attitude of the political barom-
eter' are usually correct and if left
to their better judgment in selections
of county officers will rarely make
mistakes. 1t is a sad and gloomy
period in the history of any county
when its farmers lose interest in its
political affairs. In the coming cam
paign we want every man to manifest
an interest by helping to select, NOM
mate and elect the very best men We
have in the party for the various
offices at our command. The News
has no liberation, no patience with a
man who growls and grumbles at men
elected to office when that man will
fully and for lack of proper spirit,
took no part in the election.

A GREAT captain has fallen in the
Republican camp Ex-senator Roscoe
Conkling is dead. In his party he was
once great leader, and while his
competitors would urge the world to
the belief that he was domineering
and dictatorial he was IN reality APP
proachable and popular with the
masses. In political career extend
ing over the darkest pages of his par
tvs history period when corruption
and fraud ran rampant, he came out
without even the scent of corruption,
bribery and fraud upon his garments.
In national conventions he was a
recognized leader and was successful
in the management of all until in
1880 when he failed to secure the
nomination of Gen'l. Grant for the
third term. His speech, his action and
the action of the Stalwart 306 in that
convention is part of the history of
the Republican party. For eight years
he has been devoting his time to the
practice of law from which he has
reaped an abundant harvest in gigan-
tic fees. The cause of his death is
traceable back to exposure in the
great blizzard in March of 1888. In
many respects Mr.. Conkling was
great man and those who were accus-
toned to seek his counsel and advice
in political matters will miss him
from the shrine in the oracle.

THE papers are filled with great
deal of bosh about presidential aspi-
rants, and therefore it may sound like
a sweeping declaration to say that the
most nonsensical of all the stuff that
has been written on the subject is that
which puts Senator Stanford promi-
nently forward as candidate. What
ever may be said of the Senator he is
no fool. He knows perfectly that, as
the head of corporation whose poll
cy for years has been IN offense to the
people, and which is now on trial be-
fore Congress charged with the most
serious crimes, he would not have a
ghost of show If his life was as
pure as that of saint, his wisdom
equal to that of Solomon, and his
patriotism entirely unquestioned, he
could not be elected, because he would
be held responsible for all the sins
with which the corporation stands
charged. The Senator knows that the
Republican National Convention could
not help recognizing this fact, and
therefore will not allow himself to be
put forward only to be knocked down.

THE prohibition candidate is now
in California. MIR. st. John surmises
that General Clinton B. Fisk will be
the prohibition candidate for presi-
dent, and Col. John I. Tanner of Ten
nessee, Col. Geo. W. Balm, of Ken
lucky, or c. B. Cranfill, OF Texas, vice
president According to Mr.. St. John,
who was the prohibition leader in
1884, his successor will poll over a
million votes in the next presidential
election: in other words, an increase
of six fold since the last election of
1884. If this be true there will be
some nightly surprised political

CHAUNcEY NJ. DEPEw mildly denies
that he is candidate for the Presi-
dency, and very emphatically asserts
that he is mot stalking horse
for Mr. Blaine" He belives that Mr..
Blaine would accept a unanimous nom
ination, praises Sherman, glories in
Allison and Harrison, thinks the
Civil Service Mugwumps will vote for
Blaine, and finds everything for Re
publicans to be lovely and everything
Democratic execrable. But is not
this the expression of candidate
more coy than reluctant? If. after his
repeated and emphatic destinations,
Mr.. Blaine still would accept, what
are we to conclude from Mr.. Depew's
mild and Intellectual disclaimer? When
the president of the Central road dis
credits Blaine's sin cerity, how can
he expect his hearers to believe in his
own?-Star.

What is an Hotel Dill?

Tho question Of what constitutes q
'hotel bill" has just received q solution
from the Supreme Court of Colorado.
At the st. James Hotel, Denver, kept
by Mr.. David Gage, well.known
Western landlord, oIe Of the guests
was Mr.. J. w. Hamm, and his friend,
Sir. T. M. Patterson, became RESPONSE.
bic for Mr.. Hamm's "hotel bill" in q
written agreement. in which he said:
81 will be responsible for the hotel bill
Of j. w. Hamm. and will see it paid
in twenty days" Hamm left without
paying his bill, which was for board
from September 20 to October 4. $40;
extra meals, SIS; extra lodgings. So. and
bar bill, S2S 25; total, $72.25.
a couple Of months after Hamm left
Patterson was ''dunIed" for the
amount Of the bill, and offered to pay
the board bill, but refused to pay that
at the bar. He was sued for the
amount. and In tho litigation that fol-
lowed the case got into the Colorado
Supreme Court. where it was to be de.
clded whether "hotel bill" includes
an unlimited bill at the bar for intoxi-
cants. The Supreme Court held that an
inn-keeper is bound to furnish board and
lodging to his guests what is necessary
to their health and comfort. AL items
Of cost relating to these necessaries Of
hotel existsasg ara !. inalpd ed in the
words "hotel pill." But when it comes
to furnishing articles not necessary, tho
phrase does not include their cest. AS
the court says: GA hotel keeper is not
bound to furnish hlsguests with liquors,
cigars or billiards, and therefore the
including of such articles In hotel,
bill would notbe expected or anticipated
by one contracting to pay tho hotel bill
of another"

a BridG Ge-Jumpcr's Suicide.

William Kptz, the boy who jumped
off the Brooklyn Bridge on November
