Breakers Ahead for Statehood.

There are threatening breakers
ahead for Statehood for Idaho. The
lack of concert of action on the part
of the commissioners of the respective
counties touching the election 9th of
November, places the matter absolute
" in the hands of the opponents of
Statehood and thereby endangers the
cause if it does not practically destroy
it. To obtain Statehood we must
have full vote of the Territory.
Bingham county, so far as known, is
the only county in all the Territory
that guarantees full election by the
payment of its judges and clerks. Ada
county, the capital county, was divid-
ed in its board about calling an cleo
tion, and when it did make the call,
positively refused to pay the judges
and clerks. In the extreme north
Kootnai county appointed judges but
refused to pay them. In the south
Oneida county issues an election
proclamation but it board refuses to
to canvass the returns and orders
them sent direct to the Secretary of
the Territory In one or two counties
it is claimed, that the people will take
the election in their own hands and
conduct it to suit themselves. With
this state of affairs there is no dis
guising the fact that the opponents
of Statehood have every advantage
before congress. Some parties urge
that everybody should vote, vote a
la mode Joe Rich plan of goods box
and pitch fork, and that the Mormons
should unquestionably vote at this one
election; but this dare not be done.
The proposed constitution itself pro-
hibits them and Mr.. Dubois cannot 90
before congress and ask for the adj
mission of his Territory under con-
stitution openly and wilfully violated
on ratification day. Without a full
vote we cannot get Statehood nor an
enabling act for Statehood, and under
existing affairs it will be impossible
to obtain this vote, or even to hold an
election in every precinct in the coun-
ties. Every movement towards State
hood has been irregular but what has
been done was admissible as it was
done honestly and in good faith, but
the opponents will see that nothing
shall be done in open and wIllful VIC
lation of the election laws and that no
reports shall go up of illegal voters.
The situation looks dark and breakers
are running high. The opponents
hold the key to the situation, and we
may as well say so as not. The ex-
listing state of affairs makes Mr.. Du-
bois master of the situation against
his opponents again. He can claim
that he was honest about Idaho, that
he mapped out course for her early
and successful admission, that the
people were with him but that the
convention departed from his course,
ignored his plans and are measurably
responsible for the present anomalous
condition of affairs. He can look
back from Washington and say to
every voter of the Territory-"Thou
canst not say that l did il" He can
say--'I was honest for Statehood,
butthe convention defeated my plans,
and what can be said in refutation of
the statement? What if he fail to
get us Statehood under the vote that
be polled 9Th of November? And as
the matter now stands-"What are
you going to do about it?"

The rousing mass meeting for State
hood announced for the evening of
the 21st inst at Boise City, according
to programme, was intended to en-
thuse the whole Territory. The speech
es were to be published and scattered
broadcast over each county. Alas,
the speakers did not materialize, and
the "enthuse" will not pan out. The
meeting now is announced for the
evening Of the End of November, and
that will be "too late" oh entirely
"too late" for a general ''enthuse."

4 SONG TO THE WORLD.

a song to the world-the beautiful world
In spite Of its clouds and its cares,
Its trials and pains. its shames and its stains,
IT'S cruel deceits, and its snares
With all its sad faults, tbs the best world we
have
'Tis the only one given to man-
So let us accept it, with thanks, as it is,
And enjoy it as long we can.
Then away with the cynie who cavils at life,
And wishes his days at an end
sSrver yicld to despair, but patiently bear
Such mishaps as man cannot mend
What miner who works the auriferious earth,
It's glittering store to unfold
Would be sour in mood, if the yield had was
good,
Because he found dross with the gold9
Then while you are working the vast mine oflife.
Be humble content, and resigned
Never worry nor fret take the best you can get
And whistle the worst down the wind.
Then away with the cynic, etc.
We were put here to struggle-'twas Heaven S
decree
Each man has his mission to fill
Misfortunes may fret us temptations beset us,
But we are Gods people still.
When i'll fortune meets us and emnity greets us,
We should then ourselves most rely
Be brave for it takes when the storm on us
breaks,
More courage to live than 10 die.
Then away with the cynic, etc.
TITS glorious world if we look at it right,
And should rejoice to be in it.
There are birds in each grove, there are sweet
hearts to love,
And success, if we struggle to win it,
So let us determine that happen what may,
We will stay with the weeds and the flowers,
And the friends and the foes, and the joys and
the woes,
Which make up this great world Of ours
Then away with the cynic, etc.
What folly to look on the dark side of life
While the world is refulgent with light
Creep out of the shade, and stand up undis-
mayed,
In the raiment of reason bedight
There is room for US all on this wide-spreading
earth
So with Charitys banner unfurled,
Let us join in cry, while cid Time hurries by,
Three cheers for this beautiful world"
Then away with the cync, etc.

Like rldlcule, irony IS often more
effective than argument, and may con-
vey suggestions and ideas in terse and
pithy manner, as when one says: "You
can't always Judge by appearance: the
man who wears a diamond pin may be
really wealthy" A gentleman, it was
once said, never inflicts pain. On which
wit remarks, This is hard on the
dentists. Not bad story is told of an

the ironical reply. He never had but
one genuine case in his life, - said law
yer of rival, "and that was when he

have had curious experiences of ironical
wills. There is the not unfamiliar case of
the French merchant who left hand
some legacy to a lady who had refused
to marry him twenty years before, in
gratitude for her kindness in not taking
him at his word. There is a good deal
of pointed satire in such ironical faceti9
as the following: We are reminded
that the mania for adulteration is 50
great that you can't buy quart of sand
and be sure that it is not half sugar. A

The trip was getting pretty dull
The Northland was very slow steamer
We had been eight days out from Am
sterdam, and there was every prospect
of eight more. We sat listlessly on the
starboard deck in our sea chairs,
rather glum looking set. talking at in
tervals in a lazy, desultory way of any
trifing subject that came up. We
spoke of the fog, which had kept us
back the previous night A small
sharp-faced man of about 45, who
usually kept very quiet, and from whom
no one had succeeded in obtaining any
bits of autobiography to amount to any
thing, suddenly spoke up, as if new
and remarkable idea had just popped
into his head:
by the great Harry, couldn't Jim
Budgelow have taken in the shekels as
special fog watchman!"
We all started up interestedly at this
exclamation. There was silence for a
