THE RESULT.

The result of the election held
throughout Idaho last Tuesday is
exceedingly gratifying to the friends
of Statehood for Idaho. Every
thing indicates that a large vote
has been polled and that the Con-
stitution has been ratified by a
large majority. The vote practi-
cally sets at rest all the objections
urged against the movement, viz:
That the people took no interest in
it; that they did not want to assume
the responsibilities of self govern
ment, etc.; and most effectually
has been squelched the oft-repeated
assertion that 'fthe whole move
ment was the work of political
tricksters." The people are not in
the habit Of practically unanimous
ly endorsing the "work of political
tricksters." The people of Idaho
have sounded the cry of advance"
The procession is on the move, and
whether the goal will be reached
this session of Congress or not, there
will be no halt.
If the result throughout the Ter
ritory has been gratifying, the re-
suit in Ada county is doubly so.
Here the opposition was the fercest.
The ablest newspaper of Democratic
faith in the Territory, together with
numerous prominent and able men
of both parties led the fight against
Statehood in Ada county-in fact
we believe that the only public
speeches made against Statehood in
the entire Territory were delivered
in Ada county. And yet the result
shows majority of over 900 for
the Constitution in a total vote of
1900. In this county Statehood
was depicted in the worst form inn
aginable-it was to be dreaded as
pestilence-it meant grinding
poverty for all time to come-and
yet three out of every four of her
citizens voted Constitution, Yes"
1t was indeed brave step forward.
e While the result in Caldwell pre-
cinct would have pleased The Trib-
une more if it was the reverse OF
hat it is, still we find no fault.
1t is much better than those who
knew the condition of things were
led to hope. Caldwell precinct has
front of twenty-five miles on the
south side of Boise river. Many
of the pioneers of Idaho, men who
crossed the plains before railroad
across the great American desert
was hardly thought Of, who reached
this country even before the time
of Territorial vassalage," here have
their homes. Nine out of every ten
of them oppose Statehood. Why ?
We know not. We do know that
they blazed the trails, subdued the
Indians, and made Idaho habitable.
That they could not see their way
clear to join in this great onward
movement is not for US to criticise.
They exercised their prerogatives
as American citizens, but got left
in the general shuttle.
Thus endeth the first lesson in
Statehood for Idaho,

His Honor Was Wounded.

just after the war there was a crowd
Of US In the biliard-rOom of a hotel
one evening, says a New York sam
writer, and among the "tOuchy" South
erners was a Colonel Gray of the Ten
nessee troops. He was said to be a
duelist, dead shot, a fearless man,
and all that, and was, therefore. held
In awe. Among those present was a
typical Yankee who had come down to
smell out cotton. He looked humble
and harmless, and had been hustled
around a good deal without losing his
temper. By some accident in moving
about he bumped the colonel, and the
latter promptly wheeled round on him
with:
Sir, you are as clumsy as an OK.
Don't get Tiled, kurnel; I didn't
mean to, was the reply
1t was a good time to bluff, and the
colonel drew himself up and replied:
"Ihen apologize, apologize at once i"
s. said 1 didn't mean it, and I didn't,
but l amt going to crawl, you know. "
Who are you, sir ?"
"Well, meow, I'm Isaac Williams and
who might you be?"
"YOu have insuIted me, sir. There's
my card.
Williams took the pasteboard, looked
it all over, slowly read the name, and
returned it to the colonel with:
"HeV you any cotton to sell, kurneI ?
If so, Pm your huckeIberry."
eff you have a friend, let him consult
with the major here!" replied the fire.
eater
Some one explained to the Yankee
that he had been challenged, and he
scratched his head, whistIed his sur
prise, and following the colonel to the
bar, he said;
"See here, kurnel, L don't want this
blamed thing hanging over me all night
and disturbing my sleep. Let's have it
out now"
He fshed up a Remington from his
right hip pocket, a second from his left,
and handing one to the colonel, he adj
vanced his right foot, and said:
"TOe to toe, kurne1, and muzzIe to
breast. That guarantees sure work
and no fOoling. Somebody count five,
and then we'll begin the skirmish Ny
viii has been made for two years, and
reckon the papers will inform Hammer
how 1 turned up my toes"
The colonel took the revolver,
started to advance his foot, drew it
back, turned as white as snow, and. lay
ing the weapon on the bar, walked out
of the place without a word to any one.
The Yank had raised him out of the
game.
