EVIDENTLY MISTAKEN.

At the Democratic meeting, in
Bellevue last Monday evening, Ly-
curgus Vineyard, candidate for
Councilman, stated that the Mills
bill only proposed to lower the tariff
on lead one halfacent per pound.
MIR. Vineyard was mistaken. The
present tariff on lead is, as he stated,
$40 per ton; but the Mills bill pro.
poses to reduce it to S25-a reduc-
ton of three.fourths of a cent per
pound.
Again: Mr.. Vineyard said that
Idaho produced lead ready for the
market at cost of $40 per ton, while
"Spain cannot get ton of lead ready
for less than S4O-S5O is the correc,
sum-" He was again mistaken.
Foreign lead has been sold in Ne "
York for 1865 per 100 pounds. This
includes the tariff $40, freight across
the ocean Certainly sl0), brokerage
and commission, leaving scarcely $50
per ton for the metal.
Does anybody suppose that Spain
is producing lead at loss of over 100
per cent?

THE MORMONS EVIDENTLY KNOW
THEIR FRIENDS.

The Celr d'Alene Sun, Boise
Democrat, and other pro- Mormon
newspapers are endeavoring to score
a point against Fred. 7. Dubois by
rehashing the old lies which re-appear
every campaign. One Of these is
that, until 1882, the Republicans vain.
ly endeavored TO secure the Mormon
vote in this Territory.
This is falsehooi which will react
on the Democratic candidates; be
cause every time that it is uttered i,
only tends the more strongly to show
that the Republicans and Mormons
are, and have always been, bite,
enemies. If the Republicans canno,
get Mormon votes while the Demo.
Gratis can, it shows, as plainly as day
that the Mormons cannot trust the
Republicans.
The Mormons evidently know that
they can trust the Democrats.

IN ENTIRE ACCORD WITH PUBLIC
SENTIMENT.

A point is endeavored to be made
by our Democratic fellow citizens
because the Republican county plat.
form does not seem TO be as out.
spoken as the Democratic in its oppo-
siton to county division. This at.
tempt will fail, as it should, because
the Republican candidates for the
Legislature are, one aud all, opposed
to division. This may be surprising
to some, but it is nevertheless a fact,
which will be generally admitted be-
fore the campaign is much older.
S:uce the publication of the articles
in the TIMES, last spring, in which it
was demonstrated that the western
'end OF the 10y was costing US 2

great deal more than it paid, there
has been quite a change Of opinion
on this Question. The taxpayers of
Camas Prairie and Wood River have
begun to ask themselves if it is worth
while to retain Western Alturas?
And as the answer is seldom in the
affirmative, they are liable to soon go
a step further, and say that they do
not want it any longer.
But this is as far as they will 60 at
present. The Republican county

THE LEADING ISSUES OF TIE
CAMPAIGN.

The most important issues pre-.
sented to the voters of Idaho, this
campaign, are: Protection VS.. Free
Trade, and American institutions VS..
Church rule. In regard to the first,
we can have no direct agency in de-
termining it; but we can, by voting
for the nominees OF the Republican
party, let the country see where we
stand. The Democrats deny that
they favor free trade; but we know
that their tariff bill is long step in
that direction. The voters of Idaho,
whose very life. almost, and that Of
their wives and children, depends up.
on protection to home industries,
must indicate by their votes how they
would stand if in a Presidential
region.
Regarding the other issue there can
hardly be an honest difference of
opinion. Either voter is in favor
OF the Mormons who hold obedience
to their church and the practise of the
most sensual vices as more binding
upon them than the laws of the
country, OF he is opp ,sed 10 this. If
he is in favor of tho Mormons he
will vote the Democratic ticket; but
If he is opposed to the Mormons he
will vote the Republican ticket, and
thus assist in forever redeeming Idaho
from priestly rule.

Longevity Aided by Salt

In recent work by Professor Burr.
graeve of Client the prominent theory
maintained is that salt is the great reg
ulating agent oflife, and on the proper
use of which human longevity largely
depends, it being at any rate . great
preventive Of certain malad ies-if the
blood is too rich salt will render it less
charged, or If it is poor salt will recon
stitute it and restore it to the necessary
clements. Among the interesting facts
cited by Professor Burggraeve in elab-
Grating his sub ject is that about the end
OF the last century a terrible epidemic,
bearing some anOlogy to scurvy, broke
out in Saxony, making such rapid pro-
gress among the poorer classes that the
government or dered an inquiry into its
nature and course. The result was the
establishment Of a singular fact, viz:
that miners although reduced to the
same misery as other workmen, re-
maiaed, with their families, com pletely
exempt from the malady; the diet of
the miners differed from the others on
ly in one point, viz, that being en-
ployed by the state they were supplied
with salt gratuitously. the deduction
being that the absence Of salt in the
diet of the other workmen was the cause
OF the ma!ady. Salt was then prescribed
as a curative measure and the epidemic
disappeared as if by cnchantmont.
