that the olfactory sense is ever so

mere question of time, and it is GER

the Palouse country is most interested.
Work on the Washington l. Idaho
railroad was Suspended a few days ago,
throwing nearly one thousand men out
of employment. The suspension is
believed to be due to the delay in secur.

serve discreet silence upon the matter
and it is thought the suspension is only
temporary.
On Wednesday of last week seventy
five Of the one hundred and thirty men

HARRIs0N's INAUGURATION.
It Comes Ono Hundred Years After
That OF Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Already hotel

for rooms during Inauguration next

Many inquiries are made if the iuaugu,

Gen. Washington was iuaugurated as the

DELEGATE DUBOIS,
He Tells why tho. Democrats LOG
Prestige In the Territories.

Delegate Dubois, Of Idaho, 10 an ir.
terview with reporter on the admission
Of the territories into the Union, ez.
pressed himtelf as follows:
1.-THE failure to admit Washington,
Montana and Dakota as states vas laid
at the door Of the administration 10
Idaho it was understood that the admin.
istration leaned towards the Murmons and
was not entirely adverse to statehood for
Utah. The federal officials in both
territories, appointed by President
Cleveland, have been es lenicnt as posi-.
bic towards the Mornons for the last
year, aud have entered into a political
combination with them.
The policy, generally, Of the present
administration has been against the
northwest, and it is not surprising that
that entire and immense section has
spoken SO decidedly. l believe Dakota,
Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and WASH
ingtou will remain permanently republi-
can if they are treated fairly.
One cause which operated towards
the defeat Of the democrats was common
to all these territories, l. e., the appoint.
ment Of non.residents to Office, contrary
to the platform upon which President
Cleveland was elected.
What is necessary, in my judgement,
for the republicans to do is to protect
our wool, lead and silver industries, give
US home rule, govern Utah by legisla
tive commission and admit the territories
as fast as they are prepared for state.
hood by population, wealth resources aud
social condition. Spriuger's omnibus
bill is not fair nor satisfactory. Dakota
should be divided. Besides, the admis.
sion Of one territory should not depend
upon the admission Of another.
Montana and Washington ore 10 every
way equipped. There is no objection
from any source to their admission with
their present boundaries and they should
come in this session. If Mr.. Springer
presses the omnibus bill no admission
can or should be made this session, and
the democrats should and will be held
responsible for it.
BY admitting Montana and Washing
ton this short session the democrats can
regain some Of their lost prestige 10
those new states. If the republicans
will heed the wishes Of the people of the
north west territories in matters affecting
their business and social interests and
treat them fairly they will never lose
them. "-Reriew.

DRINKING AND GAMBLING
BALLOONS.

If business men, who are well off
financially, think that their business
standing is not injured by devotiDg two
or three hours Of a day and as many
more in the evening or night, in public
drinking house playing cards and betting,
they arc off their bangs. Let misfortune
overtak. them Que can see that his com
panions in the games will be almost the
first to say of him that he brought upon
himself bis own misfortune and down.
fall. The real sympathy Of gaming men
is heartlcss, as rule, and those who
don't devote their time in that manner
are liable tosay: ut was good enough
for them" Such is human nature
Unless they can give some collateral for
security, with those habits, they would
find it very difficult to get loan of
$500 or $1,000, with which to resume
. Legitimate business. Such il the al
most inevitable result Of card playing
among correct business men, and especial
ly where the habit of drinking accom-.
panics tho habit Of playing cards. How
is it with young men who have no means
only what they earn by daily toll? They
may have fair education and may
desire to secure situation where be can
earn competence. But let him form
the habit Of visiting the saloons and
occasionally play cards and drink and be
seen there by men who want young men
upon whom they can depend for business
and correct action, they will not 60 to a
saloon to find them, and when habitualy
seen there it will be hard matter for
themselves CT their friends to dispel the
suspicion that there is something wrong
about them that will make them unsafe
aud Improbable as employees. The
young man, however good may be his
purpose, yet is damaged in his reputa.
ton by bis habit Of frequenting SALOONS
and playing cards and other games and
occasionally drinking and smoking. He
will be like poor Tray, he is habitually
found in bad company and his chances
for getting good lucrative position and
his chances for promotion in business will
be greatly clouded, even in this country
where card playing is SO prevalent.
Hence saloon men take great response.
bility in encouraging young lads and
young men to spend much of their time
hanging round their saloons, watching
games and occasionally playing a game
and drinking a glass or smoking cigar.
1t is dissipating and exciting to their
minds which bids no good to their
character or reputation or their pockets,
although il may bring few dimes to the
pockets Of the proprietors Of the saloons.
We are interested in the correct habits Of
our people and especially the young, and
we cannot be blamed for making the
above suggestion, hoping that 70 one
who desires the growth and welfare Of
the town can take offense. If there is a
class who desire evil for the town, to
them we have no apologies to offer.

Tammany Braves Stop at the
Home of Gov. Gray and Talk
for Thurman

Tammany Braves Stop at the
Home of Gov. Gray and Talk
for Thurman.
Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, June 4.-The Tammam
hall special train, which arrived about
9o'clock this morning, made a stop at
Union City, Ind, Gov. Gray's home,
and addresses were made to the peOple
by Roswell p. Flower and James j.
GDonnahue. Gray arches were up
IN the place and banners bearing Gray
motoeS were flying about. Mr.. Flow
er said that if GRAY secured the
nomination for vice president Tammany
would take off their coats and work for
him, and if Thurman was nominated
they expected the same hearty support
from good old Democratic Indiana.
His remarks were cheered. O'Dona-
hue, who is a strong Thurman man,
and who never loses an opportunity to
get i'll point for him, wound up his re-
marks by, proposing three cheers for
Cleveland. Thurman and Demo-
SFai' %th V''GTg Sn. tfsy Tfiys were World given n
dcate that, while the people
at Gray's home were for him, they
were not entirely wrapped up in his
candidacy, and were willing to accept
another man and support him. There
were large crowds gathered at Cleve-
land and Indianapolis to see Tammany,
but there was no cheering. In fact the
people seemed amazed to find the braves
so quiet, expecting them to make all the
noise. About fifty miles this side Of
Cleveland the first section of the
train came near being thrown
from the track. A nut in
the truck of one of the cars came loose,
letting an iron bar drop. Fortunately
the track along there was raised, and
the bar did not touch the ground. If it
had, OF had been caught on a tie, it
would have thrown the car from the
track. The car had picked up plank,
and the racket it made attracted atten-
tiOn, and after travelling quarter of a
mile or more the locomotive was
stopped. When it was learned what had
occurred the people on board were
pretty badly scared over the narrow es-
cape they had.

CUTTING A WIDE sWATH.
That Is What the Iowa Delegation
Is Doing.

Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 4.-The Iowa
delegation is cutting wide sWath at
the Lindell, and has hung out its shin
gies from the principal club rooms.
There is no trouble or disagreement in
the ranks, and the HaWkeye Democrats
at home, if as united and persistent,
will be felt in the state next fall. The
delegation has had several meetings
during the day, and members entertain
each other with sublime oratory on gen.
eral politics. The Indiana delegation,
headed by Senator Voorhees,, paid them
a visit to urge the nomination of Gov.
Gray, but. while they listened to their
pleadings respectfully and with appre
citation. they made no apparent effect.
Thurman is as popular as ever with
them, and the statement may be here
made, to save repetition, that unless
some violent and unlocked for changes
come, the entire Northwest. from Lake
Michigan to Puget sound, will stand for
the old Roman. The Iowans have not
chosen their national committeeman
yet. Mr.. Hamm has withdrawn, and
the candidates are j. J. Richardson and
w. w. Wilmer, one of whom will be
chosen at o'clock in the morning. F.
w. lehman was chosen member of the
committee on resolutions, and A. Bald
win member of committee on creden
tials. This afternoon the committee
was escorted to the races, and after
ward given ride Oh the river.
