kErcHUa KEYSTONE: Politics in
Idaho, although restricted 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
US. 1t 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 virtues, and
let conscience sink beneath selfish
motive. We cannot afford to place
such men in public Office, and every
loyal voter in Idaho will exert him
self for their defeat. 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 scruplss
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 Ida
ho of judicious government and care
full legislation, not hoodlums and di-
visionists. Idaho has enemies with
out and 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-division and
anti-mormon. If the people cannot
cast away petty prejudices and be-
come a unit on these questions we
may expect to see the pestilence
spread and feel ourselves quartered
for our neighbors' feast.

PooATELLo REPORTER: On the
night of May I'd another of the series
of petty robberies which have been
so frequent in this town of late oc-
Cured in or near the depot. An old
man who had just arrived from the
East had his valise containing two val
liable watches stolen from under his
head while asleep. These watches
he had purchased as presents to his
two sons who are working here, we
are informed. There are no clues.
Later the same evening watchman
Wright rescued an unfortunate trav-
eler whom the thugs had knocked
down with a club, near tie ice houses.
His yell for assistance brought Wright
to the scene ere they could succeed
in robblng their victim, who was
brought to the depot, washed and sent
on his way with only sore head to
show for his encounter. Friday night
word reached town that Maj. Danil-
sons store at Blackfoot had been
broken into and robbed of about $40O
in money and jewelry, the individual
watch of the major, valued at $3.50,
being among the lot. The money
tills were broken into with an ak and
all the small change, about s15 IN
dimes and nickels, taken. Severa
suspicious characters were loafng
around town the day previous, and il
is believed that they or some of then
committed the robbery. Later in
formation states that the burglar wa:
arrested at Camas and that all o.
nearly all the stolen property was re-
covered. He was jailed at Blackfoot
Matters have reached such china,
that it is hardly safe for pedestrian
to be abroad after dark. Any citizeI
is apt to be waylaid and robbed, and
if he made any resistance, the chance
are he would be murdered.

The following is an extract from
very able article that ran through
Two numbers of the Boise City Re-
publican, under the caption. sTbe
Nation's Peril" The author is N
Record, and he handles the manv
branches of his subject like a far-see-
ing Statesman:
"Besides the dangers of concen-
trated wealth, we have another great
and vexing problem before us, to- wit.
The dangers connected with the i'm
mense foreign immigration. Ac.
cordIng to DR.. Strong's calculation. IN
the year 1900 we shall see forty mill
ION foreigners within the United
States. Socialism, communism and
anarchlsm is exclusively foreign.
Then here are the demagogues stoop-
ing to the votes of foreigners, ready
to sell our rights for power and place
to steal the result of our tax paving.
What can we do? If we kindle the
patriotic spirit in our bosom that
burned in the hearts of our fathers, if
we revive the spirit of seIf-denisl of
our mothers who broke their tea-cups
and went thirsty rather than give aid
to the enemy, and send material to
our Legislatures and to Congress that
is true and just to their trust, we
can legislate laws to keep out foreign
criminals and paupers. We can pre-
vent our fair land from being made a
dumping ground for the slum and de-
bris OF the warehouses, jails and
prisons of all Europe. We can pre-
vent the coming and naturalization of
men who are enemies to all law and
government. had rather the pow
er of the government (which we ex-
pect to leave to our children and their
posterity) would be reckoned by the
purity and virtue of its population
than by its wealth and armor without
public virtue, without watchful, ag-
gressive resistance to all inroads up
on the spirit of the republic"

A CORRESPONDENT of the We1ser
Leader gives the following particulars
of the shooting affair at Ruthburg:
A dispute arose in Caulk's saloon
between J. W. McCulley and Tom
Richards, which led to the shooting
of McCuIley. Bystanders give the
particulars of the trouble as follows:
McCulley made use of language re-
garding Jas. Ruth, which Richards
resented, and called Mac a liar and
other bad names. Not being salts
fed with this he drew his pistol and
struck him twice, when Mac clinched
Richards, thinking this the safest
thing to do. Mac says he 'did not
think the coward would shoot, as be
was unarmed." They fell to the
floor, with Mac on top. Richards
placed his pistol to the back of Mac:
neck and fred, the ball passing
through and coming out under the
chin. He will recover.

SHosHoNE JOURNAL: Since Oc-
tober, 1885, there have been no Chi
nese allowed in Shoshone. About
two weeks ago Mr.. P. w. Spencer
OF the Falls Hotel secured two Chi
nese cooks, stating he was unable to
get any other help. On Thursday
night party Of ten or twelve boys
and young men decoyed them a mile
out OF town to the Dill ranch and
nearly frightened their queues off
their heads with threats, loud noises
and the firing of guns. They were
chased and one of them caught.
placed on hand car and run up the
railroad track a short distance where
ne was let off, but he kept on going
and was picked up the next day 18
miles from town. The other celestial
found his way back to the hotel.
The following night two or three 9th
er Cinnamon came down to investi-
gate the affair. The sentiment here
is against employing Chinese, and
since the town was well rid of them
many feel that 1t is unwise and detri-
mental to the best interests of all to
bring them here. But the citizens
are law abiding and do not propose
to see mob law prevail, nor do we be-
lieve that any number of those who
are opposed to Chinese labor will
sanction or allow mob violence. 1t
is rumored that several arrests are to
be made. Mr.. Hash, who owns a
thousand goats, is moving his band
from the camp just above Shoshone
on Little Wood river, farther north
near the foot hills. He shipped over
1000 pounds of mohair Cashmere
goat wool last week, and John Har-
ris of Goose creek also has about S.
900 pounds of Mohair, both shipments
going to New York. The profit of
raising goats is about twice as great
as that of sheep. The average clip
of well-bred Cashmere goar ranges
from three to FIVE pounds, and form
erly mohair brought as high as Is
cents to 81 per pound. We believe
it now runs from 40 to 60 cents.

The Irrigation Question In Politics.
The following extracts show the
opinions of the Cassia County Times,
the Silver City Avalanche and the
Shoshone Journal as to the need Of
bringing the irrigation question into
politics.
The Cassia County Times advo-
Gates the propriety of both political
parties nominating a man for Con-
gress in this Territory who viii use
his best efforts toward having the
Government make an appropriation
large enough to bring large canal
from Snake river to irrigate the thou
sands Of acres of lands now lying idle.
The idea is a good one. Government
can well afford to make such an ap-
preparation and thereby help her own
people, avalanche.
The millions of acres of desert land
in Idaho can only be made produc-
tive by system of irrigation. 1t is
urged that the Government should in
some way, either by direct appropri-
alton of money or the granting of
land, assist in the reclamation of
these desert plains. We see no rea-
son why the Government should not
expend money for this purpose as
we'll as for river and harbor improve
ments, and believes Congress will
grant the requisite assistance if the
matter is properly urged by the wes-
tern Senators and Congressman. The
Cassia County Republicans have ta-
ken the initiatory steps, in this Terri
tory, toward having the matter
brought to public notice. Keep the
ball NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Journal.

Decoration Day was observed here in
a more general way than for years past.
All the business houses were closed dur
ing the afternoon. The largest crowd
that has come together for years assem-
bled at City Park. The procession formed
on Main street opposite the Odd Fellows
Building in the following order viz:
Allensburg Band, Thos. j. Murrell Post
No. AIS, G. A. R., Jesse Nelson Camp
Sons OF Veterans, little girls with flowers,
little boys, citizens. At the Park stand
had been erected and seats prepared for
a large number, but not more than one
half could find Seats. The stand was
tastefully and lavishly decorated with
flags, wreaths OF flowers and notices.
The exercises consisted OF singing patri-
otic songs accompanied by the organ.
Rev. L. NJ. Davis and Rev. r. L. Henschel
delivered most excellent addresses, after
which the procession reformed and
marched to the cemetery where the
beautiful ceremonies OF the G. A. r.
Post were rendered in an appropriate
manner. The graves OF the soldiers in
the cemetery were then decorated by the
Sons Of Veterans, accompanied by the
little girls with flowers. The soldiers
monument was profusely decorated with
wreaths, crosses, bouquets and pillows
OF flowers. The ceremonies at the ceme-
terry closed by firing salute to the dead
by the guard OF honor of Murrell Post
Three salutes of eight guns were fired
in honor to the sleeping comrades. Much
of the success of the occasion was due to
the untiring efforts of the ladies who
were astir from early morning collecting
and arranging flowers. The town pre-.
sented the appearance of Fourth of
July business houses and private resi-
dences were profusely decorated with
flags. The cemeteries in the vicinity
were decorated by committees in the
forenoon.

DR.. Hayes, of Sardinia, and Governor
Hart, Of Hillsboro, addressed the people
of this place on Decoration Day. They
recalled to our memories some Of the
sufferings and trials of the soldier in
preserving for us young Americans
free country. They showed us that we
should not forget the dead heroes who
lost their lives to save the Union, and
that we should extend helping hand
TO any soldier that should be in need of
the comforts of life caused by being
disabled in the service of our country.
After the speaking the procession
marched to the cemetery in the follow
ing order: LIST, the flag bearers. I'd, the
Buford Band. Sd, eight young ladies'
dressed in white carrying the bouquets.

wreaths. 9Th, the relations OF the dead
soldiers whose graves were to be deco
rated. 9th, the Edmund L. Hughes
Post. 9TH, all others present, which

homes feeling happy, knowing that they
had discharged duty that they owed
to the heroic dead.
