Weiser Ledd.r:
Some capitalists have lately been ex.
amining the Snake river from the fourth
crossing or Huntington bridge down to
the Seven Devils, with view to putting
on two steamers. They report, 30 We
were informed at Huntington a few
days ago, the route the entire distance,
with the exception of the Bay Horss
rapids, as feasible one, and report says
that the steamers will be put on this
fall The Bay Horse rapids are six
miles below the Huntington bridge.
The object of the boats is to carry cop
per ore from the Seven Devils 10 the
railroad. In fact Mr.. Kleinschmidt, one
of the proprietors of the patented
mines in that district, was with the
party viewing out the route.
Boise Democrat:
About noon on Sunday last, while .
bunch of cattle were being driven past
the court house, on Front street, one Of
them, being probably tempted by the
verdant appearance within the enclos-
ure, undertook to jump over the low
iron fence and became impaled thereon,
the sharp iron barbs entering its bowels.
The poor brute endured great suffering.
Jailor Chapman let out the prisoners
who assisted in relieving the animal
from its perilous position. That fence
was never made to be placed upon the
ground but upon coping similar to that
made to put around capital square. A
valuable horse was killed in attempting
to jump over it four years ago last May,
and we presume many more will 90 In
the same way before the fence 10 set up
as it should be. We have not heard
whether the animal that suffered last
Sunday died or not, though those who
saw it say it could not survive its In
juries.
Governor Shoup is bestowing q great
deal of work upon his annual report to
the secretary of the interior, and all Of
the territorial officers in their various
departments are kept busy in furnish
ing such data as falls within the line Of
their duties. 1t will probably be the
most exhaustive and full report ever
made from the territory by any COVER
nor. No matter favorable to the inter-
ests of Idaho will be omitted. The
Governor does not agree with us In
matters pertaining TO statehood, but -
he is republican We will forgive him.
Idaho Statesman:
A petition has been on file for some
time in the governors Office asking for
the pardon of Frank w. Barnes, now
serving term in the penitentiary for
the crime of murder. Governor Shoup
declined to grant the pardon for the
reasons that at the robbery Of the safe
in the express Office at Malade, Oneida
county, in October 1881. during which
act Hinkley. the express agent. was
killed, Barnes and man named Mooney
were proved to have been the guilty
parties. During the trial these two
men mutually accused each other Of do
ing the killing. The result of the trial
was that Mooney was convicted of muir
der in the first degree and suffered the
extreme penalty of the law, while
Barnes was convicted Of murder in the
second degree and was sentenced TO Q
term of fifteen years in the penitentiary.
The governor was unable to fnd any
thing in the evidence to justify the par
don asked by the petition, which was
accordingly refused.

Capt. Eph Baughman, the old steam
boat veteran, is in the city quite pleased
at the recent developments made in his
mine, "The Silver Bell" situated on
Snake river, above the mouth of the
Grand Ronde. The mine is admirably
situated, being within half mile of a
steamboat landing. The ore is gaena
and silver, containing 81 per cent. lead;
$23.33 per ton in silver with a little
gold. The ore is desirable conceHtra-
tor for a smelter and there are six other
lodges all very promising. II any one
deserved the smiles of fortune it is Capt.
Baughman. He is an old pioneer-be-
loved by everybody, and has worked
hard and faithfully for over thirty years
in this upper country assisting material

washIngton's Example.

Not the least interesting portion OF the ex-
ercises at New York was the sermon which
bishop Potter preached from the old pulpit
In which Bishop Provost preached the in
augural sermon before Washington. Bishop
rotters theme was, Of course, the character
si the first President the lessons which Il
mas Tor the present generation, and especial
ly the principles of public honor and nrivata
virtue inculcated by Washington's example
Bishop Potter took the ground that the con-
ception of the National Government as a
huge machine existing mainly for the pur-
pose OF rewarding partisan service was a
conception utterly alien TO the character and
conduct Of Washington. In proof of this he
quoted from that famous letter written by
Washington just before his Inauguration, re-
plying to friend who had applied to him
during the campaign for an Office: 'In
touching upon the most delicate part of your
letter." wrote Washington, "the communica-
ton of which fills me with real concern, |
will deal with you with all that frankness
which is due to friendship, and which wish
should be a characteristic feature of my
conduct through life. Should 1t be
my fate to administer the government will
go to the chair under no Encouragement Of
any kind or nature whatever. And when in it,
Twill, to the best of my judgment, discharge
the duties Of the Office with that imparti-
atty and zeal for the public good, which
ought never to suffer connection of blood or
friendship to have the least sway on deci-
sions of public nature" From Washing
tons ideal of the dignity and honor of pub
TIC oficer, to his ideas of private dignity and
virtue Is an easy and obvious step. "We
have" said Bishop Better, who seems to

have In his veins some of the blood Of the
old Federalists and Henry Clay Wings. Eek
changed the Washingtonian dignity for the
Jeffersonian simplicity, which was. in truth,
only another name for the Jacksonian vul-
garity. And what have we gotten In ex-
change for It? In the elder States and
dynasties they had the tlappings of royalty
and the pomp aud splendor of the Kings
person to fill mems hearts with loyalty.
Well, we have dispensed with the old titular
dignities Let us take care that we do not
part with that tremendous force for which
they stood. II there be not titular royalty,
all the more need is there for personal roy
atty. Ii there is to be no nobility Of descent,
all the more indispensable is it that there
should be nobility of ascent-a character In
them that bear rule, so fine and high and
pure, that as men come within the circle of
its influence, they involuntarily pay homage
to that which is the one preeminent distrinc-
ton, the Royalty OF Virtue
1t is of no little interest and significance
that these words, spoken so eloquently Of
the example of the President inaugurated a
hundred years ago, could be listened to by
another President, who, for lofty public
honor and high personal dignity and virtue,
is a worthy successor of Washington. 1t
proves that our democratic form of govern
ment is perfectly capable of supplying for
itself officers verify to guard the institu-
tions moulded so largely by the influence of
Washington. That it shall continue to be
thus capable is the concern of each citizen
individually. and upon him depends. For
him the example of Washington is as whole

liens of the last ce injury

Some people would call the emperor of
China a lucky man, because he has ten men
whose sole duty it is to carry his umbrella.
A man from the East, having eight sons
and 80 grandchildren. according to the Oma-
ha Bee, has purchased 1900 acres of land a

ment at Toxic is Mr.. Henry Denison, a

a fine house furnished to him by the mikado,
and has received rank from the emperor.
He gets high salary, and he is esteemed
one of the most valuable of the foreigners
connected with the Japanese government.
He has more influence than any other Amer
lean in Japan, and he is constantly dealing
with matters connected with America.
i General Won Verdy du Vernois, who has
been promoted to the head of the German
military system is man of French origin. a
fact which suggests the reflection that some
OF the best elements in the present German
army are due to the infusion of French
blood into Prussia at various times, espec-
jally during the reigns of the Great Elector
and Frederick the Great. 1t is now the
fashion among the Germans to eschew the
use Of every word of French origin, these
being now even vigorously banished from
the dinner menus of society. yet 1t would
be unfortunate If these purists were also to
try to purge the Imperial army of all its
members of Gallo origin.
\ The universally of plant worship in the
East in former times is evidenced by the
fierce denunciations found in various parts
Of the Bible against the alteration of trees
but 1t is somewhat surprising to find in our
own times system Of flower worship still,
kept up in various parts of Persia and In
dia. A recent traveller in India gives the
following description of flower worship as
practiced by the Persians in Bombay: "a
true Persian, in flowing robe of blue, and on
his head a sheep skin hat-black, glossy.
curly, the fleece of Kar-Kal-would saunter
In, and stand and mediate over every flower
be saw, and always as ii half in vision. And
when the vision was fulfilled, and the ideal
flower he was seeking found, he would spread
his mat and sit before it until the setting of
the sun, and then pray before it, and then
fold up his mat again and 60 home. And
the next night, and night after night, until
that particular flower faded away, he would
return TO 1t and bring his friends In ever in
creasing troops to it, and sit and play the
guitar or lutte before it. and they would Alto
gether pray there, and after prayer still sit
before II slipping sherbet and talking the
most hilarious and shocking scandal late in
the moonlight, and so again and again ev-
cry evening until the flower died. Some
times by way Of grand finale, the whole
company would suddenly arise before the
flower and serenade 1t, together with an ode
from Hafz and depart"

Last year Boston had about $500 licensed
saloons, Under the new law the number is
reduced to 100. and each has to pay $1,000 for
a license. 1t is not at all probable, however,
that these $50 saloons will be the only drink
ing places to be found in Boston during the
coming year. 1t will appear, we have no
doubt, that high license laws can be eyaded

In somewhat critical article on American
diplomacy, the London Spectator gives an
estimate Of the might of the American Re-
public that would be interesting reading to q
statesman of the days Of George I'LL Though
the United States had conquered its indie
pendence in the war of the Revolution, it
yessv-wcaK a nation that little respect
was accorded it In the days of Washington's
first administration. John Adams, the first
minister to England, received treatment that
could hardly be considered respectful by the
most lenient critic. The wits of the English
court would have considered it great Joke
had they been told that in hundred years
the infant nation of the West would be a
power OF the second class; and even those
Americans who understood their own coun-
try best would have looked with incredibly
upon a prophecy that leading London
journal would, in just hundred years from
the Inauguration, publish so glowing pane
gyric on American might as the following
from the London Spectator: ut is probable
that nothing short of actual violence would
now induce any nation to attack America,
while she could, IL she chose, almost ruin
the commerce Of any nation on the globe.
1t is true she has scarcely any regular army,
her $4,000 men being eyerworked at home,
but If neighboring planet kept no army,
1t would not be subject TO attack. Her coast,
If threatened, would bristle with torpedoes
and new means Of destruction, and her pro-
tectionists would be only too pleased If i'm
portations stopped. her navy, though
still small, is rapidly increasing; so rapidly
as to be subject Of special reports to the
maritime powers: and II war were in imme-
diate prospect her limitless command, alike
Of money and men, would soon draw fleet
together. Beside, apart altogether from her
existing resources, the growth in the strength
OF the Union affects the Imagination Of the
European States. There are children alive
who will see, or at all events may see, the
North American Republic withla population
OF two hundred millions. and The means of
raising three hundred million pounds year;
and the idea of mourning the enmity of such
power is as appalling as the idea of fight
ing Russia would be. say to Italy or Spain.

ton OF Europe" In hundred wears the

wonder honors are paid to the man whe
