always been able to intervene, just In the
nick of time and kill the annexation pro-
iect, or rather defeat 1t for the time being,
for like Banquo's ghost 1t will not down.
At a large mass meeting held last week In
Moscow, the county seat of the new county
of Latah, (cut Off from NeZ Perces,) resolu'
tions were unan i'm ously adopted iaVoring
annexation and condemning Congressman
Dubois for failure to keep his promises ON
that subject, made during the campaign
Latah county AMI Nez Perces county,
which are in the Palouse and Clear water
countries are practically unit for annex
alton to our territory. Idaho county,
which is over the Craig mountains, and
includes within its borders the famous
Camas prairie, IS nearly as unanimous for
the scheme. Kootua and Shoshone coun-
ties which lie at ogr very doors, are said to
be divided in sentiment between Montana
Washington and Idaho the reason given
for opposition to annexation being, that
the miners foarhostile legislation from our
territory, which thev call a farmer or gran
ger territory. Although this fear Is ground
less, yet it operates to prevent united
sentiment in Shoshone and Kootvnai coune
ties ia favor Of annexation. Outside OF this
objection OF the miners and mine owners,
tho people OF North Idaho are practically IA
unit in favor of annexation. But they are
juggled out OF their wishes 10y the politi-
clans. The Occur 'Aleue mines aud miners
have done more to build up spokane than
all the other causes put together. They
are part OF us. Any legislation neces-
sary for their protection or development we
would gladly promote and extend. The
people of North Idaho have no more con-
nection with those of South Idaho, finan-
cial commercial or social, than they have
with the state of Florida,

THE LAST ROLL CALL.

The convention met on last Tuesday.
The first two days were devoted to the pre-
liminary work OF organization.
The third day the platform was made.
The fourth day the baliotng was begun.
Five ballots have been taken,
SHERMAN led on the first ballot, with 220
votes, aud quit on the fifth, with 22t votes.
HARRISON began with 70 and ended with
219.
ALGER began with 81 and quit with 142.
ALLISON began with ~ and quit with 90
GRESHAM started with III and quit with
81.
DEPEw, INGALLS, and others have dropped
out of the race.
1t may be added that BLAINE received
33 votes on the first ballot and As on the
last.
After the fifth ballot a recess was taken.
Upon the reassembling of the convention,
motion was immediately made to adj
journ until Monday.
Upon the roll call the motion prevailed
upon majority of one hundred and eleven
votes. 1t is by an examination of the vote
on the motion to adjourn. we are able, il
at all, to discover how the land lies at Chi
cago.
Iowa (Allison's ctate) Illinois (Gresham's g
state (and Ohio (Sherman's statel voteJ to
adjourn. Indiana (Harrison's stdlsC~and
Michigan (Algers state) voted not to ad-
journ.
Maine, the state of Mr.. BLAINE, voted as
unit for adjournment,
Solid California.
What deduction is to be drawn from
these facts? The REVIEW is unable to put
ITS finger on this or that circumstance and
say this means SHERMAN or that means
anti.SHERMAN, or this means this, or that
that. But out of it all, the REVIEW sees no
reason to change, or even to modify its
opinion as expressed early in the week.
The BLAINE men are in the majority. If
the SHERMAN, ALGER, HARRGsoN, and AL
LIsoN men will unite on candidate, the
BLAINE men will "get i'm iand nominate
him. Otherwise they will be compelled to
nominate the choice OF majority of the re.
publican voters of the country.

Buffalo Bill Disappointed.

Buffalo Bills return to his native
land was effected, singularly enough,
without any OF that display OF enthu-
siasm on the part OF society that his
acquaintance with the Prince OF
Wales certainly entitled him to ex-
pect. Not single member OF the
Four Hundred, 80 tar as can be
learned, was present on the dock to
bid him welcome. Mr.. Bill, who had
instructed his Indians to maintain II
dignified reserve when approached by
the inferior devotees OF fashion ON
this side of the ocean, is said to have
been disconnected by the actual cold
ness of his reception. He had been
led to expect something very different,
and is inclined to blame the Duke VI
Marlborough for having spoiled the
market before his arrival. "Put no,
your trust in princes" is an excellent
precept. and Mr.. Bills experience
adds another instance of its value.

THE DELEGATE FROM ALABAMA.

When the motion was made to adjourn
matters began to wear serious aspect to
an Alabama delegate. When it became APP
parent that the motion would prevail, 1t
looked squally indeed. The delegate was
there on limited ticket. If the convention
should sit longer than the time limited in
the ticket, how would the delegate get
home? 1t is a long way from Chicago to
Alabama, and the walking is none of the
best. Something must be done. Finally
In his desperation the delegate from Ala
bama rose from his seat and inquired If
tickets were good until the end of the ses'
sion. The president having assured him
that they were, it is safe to say that amid
all the uproar and confusion and uncer-
tainty and unrest of candidates and dele
gates, the delegate from Alabama left the
hall comparatively happy man. But
there is another little spec of doubt on the
Chicago horizon, which, although now no
larger than standard silver dollar, may
grow until 1t reaches the size of Blaine
majority next fall. We refer to the hotel
bill. Suppose the convention sits month?
But why suggest trouble2 sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof"

THE TICKET COMPLETED,

The convention completed the ticket last
night, by the nomination OF LEVI L. Nor
ron, of New York, for vice president. The
nomination was made on the first bal
lot by an overwhelming majority.
Mr.. MOTION was born in the state of Yer
mont in the year 1886. He settled in the
city OF New York in 1854 and became one
of its most successful business men, He
was elected to congress from that city for
two terms when he was sent as an honor
ary commissioner to the Paris exposition
i'm 1873. In 1881 he was appointed minis
ter to France by PRESIDENT GARFIELD in
1881 serving until the election OF CLEVELAND
He is man OF commanding presence, and
of princely hospitality and generosity. The
combination of Harrison and Morton
is an excellent one - Indiana and
New York. The solid south and the
free traders will find it hard to over.

The practice of holding national con ven
tions to nominate candidates for president
arose back In the thirties. Prior to that
time caucus of members of congress
selected the candidate. The last caucus for
this purpose was held in 1928, when Mr..
CRAwFoRD of Georgia received the nomina-
ton. The friends of ADAMS, CLAY and
JACKSON refused TO submit to this decision.
Various state legislatures expressed prefer.
ences by resolution, and various local
conventions all over the country did like
wise. The result was that there were four
candidates in the field-ADAMs, JACKSON,
CLAY and CRAWFORD. There was no cleo
ton by the people and the matter wept to
congress, when ADAMS was elected by a
combination with the CLAY forces over
General JACKSON. who received the largest
vote at the polls, but not enough to elect.
The result of the election of ADAMS gave
rise to the famous charge of bargain and
sale, which resulted in duel between
CLAY and RANDOLPH, and destroyed Mr..
CLAY's chances for the presidency.
There was no bargain, but by un-
wisely accepting seat in ADAMS
cabinet, CLAY gave color to the charge.
The indignation and uproar that followed
this election, resulted in the abolition of
J the caucus system and the substitution
therefor ofnational conventions. MARTIN
VAN BUREN was the first democrat to be
nominated by a national convention and
General HARRISON, the grandfather of the
present BEN HARRISON, of Indiana, the
first whig. In 1S44, the democrats adopted
the two-third rule upon the motion Of
SANDERS, of North Carolina. The object
of this rule was to prevent the nomination
of any man obnoxious to the south The
whigs and their SUCCESSORS, the republi-
cans, have always stood by the majority
rule. Probably the two conventions, that
have excited the greatest interest and pro-
duced the greatest results, were the demo-
cratic convention at Charlestown in 1850
which resulted in split in the party and
an attempt to dissolve the union, and the
republican convention Mt Chicago. which
resulted in the nomination Of LINCOLN.
the preservation of the union, and the abb
solution of slavery.

Queen V.otorla.s New Empire

London letter In New York World.
Within the past few days Queen
Victoria has, quietly and almost un
observed, succeeded in adding to her
dominions vast empire, almost con-
tinental in size and peopled by some
seventy millions of Industrious and
relatively prosperous inhabitants. The
immense tract which has just been
constituted as British territory eX-
tedds from Zanzibar northward as far
as Abyssinia, with II sea board of over
seventeen hundred miles in length.
Westward it reaches to beyond the
Victoria Nyanza and the other great
lakes from which the Nile takes its
source, and includes the finest lands
and richest markets OF Central Africa.
Mindful Of the fact that England
owes her Canadian dominion and her
great India empire to the H"dson Bay
company and the defunct East India
Com pany, respectively, Lord Sails
bury's government has in the present
instance proceeded with the same
characteristic caution.
A roval charter based on the lines
of that of the old East India company
has been granted to "a powerful asso-
citation promoted chiefly by Lady
Burdett-Coutts, and constituted under
the name OF the East African company.
The latter is authorized thereby to take
possession OF the district in question,
to exercise justice, to collect revenue,
to deal with refractory subjects "by
force of arms" and, in factto WELD all
the power of II semi-independent gov
ornment.
With laudable foresight the charter
states that the extent of the territory
westward OF the great central African
lakes "has not yet been exactly delim-
tied" But as the chairman OF the
new East African Company is the
millionaire Scotch merchant, Mackin-
non, who is the principle shareholder
in King Leopold's Congo enterprise
and the financial backer of Henry
Stanley's "rescuing expedition" it
may be fairly taken for granted that
within short time the clutches OF
John Bull will reach right across the
African continent.
without discussing the incredible
impudence OF Lord Salisbury in thus
granting to Il London company rich,
prosperous and populated country to
which he has no vestige Of II right, it
is most interesting to watch the abso-
,utely cold -biooded manner in which
John Bull proceeds to satisfy his no.
torous land grabbing instincts. A
comparison of the boundaries of the
British Empire in 1887, when Queen
Victoria ascended the throne, with
those of to-day is extremely instruc-
tive, and the question arises as to what
measure England will be driven to
adopt for the purpose of gratifying
her greed when, in very short time,
every speck of land between the north
and south poles will have been appro'
priated by one power or another.

| THE ANNEXATION OF NORTH
IDAHO.

For many years the people of North
Idaho have agitated the question of the
annexation of the five northern counties
of Idaho to Washington territory. At
one time 1t seemed likely that annexa-
ton would be accomplished. Both politi.
cal parties declared in favor of it, and the
legislature Of the territory adopted men,
orial asking congress to pass an annexa-
ton bill. To a plain, ordinary, comm on
sense sort of man, this would seem to have
been sufficient. But some how or some

regular press reports, special dispatches
to the leading journals of the country
and Of bulletins which were q ,shed over
the wires to every city and town snd to
almost every village and hamlet In the

Associated Press furnished nearly 1,o00,-
COO words Of regular proceedings Of the
convention, and nearly as much more of
gossip and speculation derived from dele
gates and descriptions Of the situation as
changed from day to day and from hour

gerous innovation. Carried out to its
logical conclusion, al me dicsl science
must be condemned, for no physician or
method Of treatment has yet been found
that can cure everybody who is i'll. As
the real cures are not necessarily demon
STATIONS of the truth of Christian sci
ence, SO the failures to cure cannot be
accepted as proof of its uselessness.
Concerning the case of MIS-. Connor's
daughter, there wss pretty conclusive ev-
idence that she would not have died II q
regular physician had been called, but 1t
is not an absolute certainty. Il Is only
about 100 years since the oostetric art, as
q branch Of medical science, has been
generally prscticed or required; in loo
years more, judging from the present,
deaths from this natural Illness will be
numerous, II they are not already. There
is doubtless good deal of nonsense about
Christian science, while its truths are
so simple that any intelligent physician
ought TO be able to apply them.
