The Snake River Canal.


The mass meeting for all parties
interested in the Snake River Canal
enterprise, called to meet at Hopkins
Hall Wednesday afternoon, was we'll
attended, and the enthusiasm mani
tested showed their earnestness in
the matter of pushing the enterprise
to an ultimate success. P. J. Arson
was called to the chair and Henry
Dipple made Secretary. After an
expression and free interchange OF
views $l15 were raised to defray the
expenses of preliminary survey and
a committee, consisting of P. ]. An
son, DR.. Givens, w. Howard, Henry
Dipple, F. Hutchinson, and D. Y.
Miller were appointed to have the
survey made. The starting point, or
head of the canal, will be about Ce-
dar Point, north of Basalt, and the
general line of direction will be south
ward towards Blackfoot. This is a
grand scheme for the reclamation of
the waste land between Blackfoot and
Eagle Rock, and, if carried out, will
open up one of the finest agricul-
tural districts in Southeast Idaho.
Build the canal and Blackfoot and
the surrounding country will boom in
a way to be proud of.

The Idaho City Musical and Litera-
rv association held its FIRST meeting last
Tuesday evening, in Masonic Hall.
On account of the festivities of the
HOLIDAYS the members did not pre-
pare as extensive a program as they
wished to. Another reason was the
small number who became members
at the meeting held to effect an or
ganization. The program, however,
proved to be extensive enough for
last Tuesday evening, as more per-
feet organization had to be effected,
bylaws adopted, etc., which con-
sumed considerable time. BY a re-
quest of the members at the meeting
held for organization, Mr.. Kingsley,
when the meeting was called to order,
explained the objects of the associa-
ton, what was accomplished at the
meeting held to effect an organiza-
ton, etc. The first on the program
was song by Mrs. H. w. Dunton,
with organ accompaniment oy Miss
Pauline Davis, followed by recita-
ton by Miss Hattie Parsons. Then
followed the subject for debate
Resold, That women are entitled to
all of the rights of franchise accorded
to men. The resolution was vigor-
ously debated for half an hour or
more, and it becoming apparent that
the question was too momentous to
be disposed of and settled satisfac-
toriIy that evening, motion was
made aud carried that the aforesaid
resolution be made the order for the
next regular meeting-next Tuesday
evening. The association then pro-
ceeded to the business of completing
the organization. The association
was organized with membership OF
twelve, and last Tuesday the list was
increased to thirty-seven. AT each
meeting all who wish will have an

The Democratic Idea.
here mex

National Democrat.
The difference between the Demo
cratic and Republican parties on the
question of taxation isnOta difference
between AZ and 40 per cent, which is
a mere matter of detail, nor a ques-
ton between a prohibitory tariff on
one side and free trade on the other,
which is a mere academic discussion,
of no interest to practical men. But
it is a difference that lies at the very
root of all government, question
upon which it depends whether our
Government shall be of the people,
for the people, and by the people, or
Government of all the people by
very few of the people for an eXN
tremely limited class of the people.
The Republican party says that taxes
are blessings, and the more the people
of a nation are taxed individually,
the more prosperous the nation is as
a whole. The Democratic party de-
clares that taxes are burdens, and the
less we have of them the better, and
that the idea of enriching the whole
community by taking property in
minute quantities from great many
people and giving it in large quanti-
ties to few people is simple rubbish.
Sixty million dollars in one mans
pocket is very imposing evidence
of his prosperity, but the nation
would be better off if each one of co.
100000 people had d dollar in his
pocket, although it is true that the
$6O, 100000 would not make much
show when divided up. Undoubted-
ly it makes money circulate to take
it out of one pocket and put it into
the other, but that doesn't make the
whole amount any greater. And Sc
it makes it circulate to take it from
one man and give it to another, but
the process does not bless the man il
is taken from.

The Tariff and Farmers.

Clarion PA Democrat.
At a recent meeting of the State
Grange at Williams Grove, Pa,
Gerald c. Brown, practical farmer,
put the case of the farmer plainly and
practically on the tariff in these
words:
81 am convinced that on no subject
is there 50 much misrepresentation
and such prevalent prejudice. We
Pennsylvania farmers are resolute in
refusing to other classes Of citizens
the right to compel us to pay their
taxes under any preteXt whatever.
How can we acquiesce in the kindred
proposition that we shall be forced to
pay "A bounty to other classes of citi>
zens to enable them to reap an as
sured profit at our expense in their
business?
"The theory that the farmer is
more than reimbursed for the extra
cost of supplies by the home market,
created for him through its operation,
is so completely rebutted by the facts
that argument to prove its falsity is
unnecessary. In spite Of protection
farm production has so immensely
outgroWn the home market that
prices are lower than this generation
has seen-on the whole, below cost OF
production. From the foreign mar
ket, which invites us, and which
would afford an immense relief, we
are barred bya restrictive tariff which
cripples commercial exchanges. The
plea that the tariff also covers and
protects the products of the farm is
ridiculous and purposely misleading
"The wool tariff may yield profit
to the herder of the far West on the
Government lands, but in the en-
HANGED price of clothing alone takes
from the average sheep farmer Of the
East more than it returns to him."

Tuesday, for State officers, Legisla-

constitutions, and location of capitals.
The Democrats carried Montana by
small majorities, the other three went
Republican. The constitutions were
adopted in all the States by good ma
jOrities, but the prohibition and the
woman suffrage clauses, which were
voted on separately in Washington,
were defeated. Olympia was select
ed as the capital of Washington, and
Pierre as the capital of South Da-
kota. The result of these elections

DAYS John Percival Jones became a citizen

justice of the SUPP enc court of the United
States, was then justice Of the peace in
Marysville, and George c. Gorhem was
Fields clerk. Jones, Field and Gorham
boarded in the same house. Next door to
them. as Gorham tells the story, lived an
Irishman named Murphy, who had pretty
daughter, whom he was in the habit of cor
rectlng with what the ga liant
boarders next door thought undue
harshness. Gorham interfered and told
Murphy that pretty girl in the camp with

the warning, and the girl grew up to be

GOWNS FOR A QUEEN.
Remarkable Costum es Made by Worth
for One of His Royal Patrons.
NJ LaLcI Hnnrer,s Tctter


had the pleasure of inspecting yesterday
some of the toilets ordered by Queen Pia of
Portugal of NJ. Worth. Some of them,
comprising the travelling dresses and the
walking and driving costumes. had already
been sent off, but the more elaborate and
mag ifcent toilets had Just been com pieted.
One of these was per APPS the most remark
able and original dress that have ever
known to be sent forth from that ateler of
marvels 1t is a ball toilet, uniting in its
composition a repre- lentation Of three
metals-copper, silver and gold. The
skirt front and train were in satin
of the precise hue of highly FURNISHED
copper. The tram is plain and full and cut
square at the end. The skirt front is en-
broidered up the centre d around the
seams with minute copper colored beads,
the work being in a slender, delicate pat
tern. The side widths part to show under
meath folds of pale silver-gray satin, worked
with silver beads, underneath which are
set inner folds of golu-yellow satin en-
broidered with gold. The blendings of
color aud of the brillisncy of the various
metals in this remarkable dress are at once
artistic and effective Another splendid
ball dress had the skirt in white velvet
stamped with large branches of tulips in
cloth of gold, the sde-breadths lined with
old gold satin parting over stra ght fiat
breadth of the velvet in front. Over this
underskirt falls the long train in absinthe
green French faille, with narrow panier
draper es at the sides. Another exquisite
dress had the front and sides Of the skirt in
silver net, closely and deliberately embroid
cred all over with pattern of vines and
leaves in silver thread, the whole lined with
crevette pink satin and drawn in full folds
at the left side at the waist. The tr iln is in
broca6e in a new and beautiful shade of
blush pink Then there is a charming
toilet in black net dotted all over with
small arabesque figures in gold thread. A
basement of the same embroidery, but much
closer and more elaborate, half a yard
in depth, enclrcles the skirt The
underdre.s is in pale pink satin. AL
together graceful and classic and delicious
is a morning dress or tea-gown in W tie
brocadad Chinese Grape, draped in classic
folds in front, and opening at the left side
so as to show an under panel in closely
plated pale pink gauze Pale pink watered
ribbons fall over this panel and close the
dress at the left side of the throat. Her
majesty's carriage dress is in dark purple
velvet, with a wide band of Tassenenterie
in cut jet beads lined with purple satin and
let in the seams of two side bTeadths of the
skirt. The wrap is deep cape of the same
velvet, lined throughout With chinchilla
AMI striped with bands OF pas -ementerie in
old silver thread and steel beads.
